By now, the shop assistant was on the verge of tears, "Shopkeeper, what I'm saying is the truth. The entire Chen Family... every single person in the Chen Family is dead!"
Spurt!
Yang Zelin, who had just taken a sip of tea and hadn't yet swallowed it, sprayed it all over the floor. His face was a mask of shock as he asked, "What did you just say?"
The assistant swallowed hard and said with terror, "The news just came out. Overnight, from top to bottom, including the house servants and protectors, a total of three hundred and twelve people... They all suddenly died!"
Crack.
The teacup in Yang Zelin's hand dropped to the floor and shattered, scalding tea splashing all over him.
But Yang Zelin barely noticed, staring at the assistant dumbfounded, "You... What did you just say?"
The assistant took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, "Shopkeeper, I just heard this news from the market, it's spreading like wildfire, and it's definitely true!"
