Here is the English translation of the chapter, preserving the original storytelling style and special terms:
---
His eyebrows were white, but his eyes were tightly shut; it turned out he was the person who had earlier ordered him to leave immediately.
Suddenly, Boh Tan-ping's voice echoed loudly in his ears: "If you quickly go there, you might still be in time to bid farewell." He must be Wie Ceng, his biological father.
Wie Kie-hong immediately extended his hand to check the injury he had suffered.
Suddenly, this person jumped up and took him hostage, just as he had taken Bu Tiat-cui hostage.
This person turned out to be completely uninjured, pretending to be dying and using the opportunity to capture him was a very cunning act.
This was clearly another trick of Cu Siau-thian.
Wie Kie-hong once again felt uncertain.
Was this person truly his father? If so, why lie and pretend to be dying? What if his assumption was wrong? His movements were very fast, and his strength was extraordinary.
However, the person did not seem to use any force.
Yet, once his shoulder was grabbed, no matter how hard Wie Kie-hong tried to break free, he could not.
"Why did you come back here?" the person asked.
"I heard that you were injured, so I ran here immediately." "If you are kind to others, you are harming yourself." It turned out this person still had time to give him advice.
"You have come here yourself to deliver your life. Don't blame me." Somehow, Wie Kie-hong's heart suddenly turned cold.
He spoke calmly: "I have a question for you."
"Go ahead."
"What is your name?"
"What business do you have with me?"
"It's a very important matter; I came here immediately because a family member is injured here."
"A family member? Whose family?"
"Mine," Wie Kie-hong replied loudly.
"What is your relationship with him?"
"He is my father."
"Take a good look yourself, do I look like your father?"
Wie Kie-hong's heart felt truly cold.
Even if his father did not want to acknowledge him, he wouldn't treat him like this or speak to him in this way.
"Boh Tan-ping just told me that my father was injured here. That's why I came here immediately. Otherwise, why would I come back into danger after you ordered me to go away?"
"It turns out you were deceived."
"This is a child's gratitude."
"What is your father's name?"
"Wie Ceng."
"Wie Ceng? Who told you your father is still alive?"
"Many people have told me. Even Thiat-yan said it to me."
"Let me tell you. Your father has been dead for a long time."
"Really? Where did he die?"
"As the rumors say. He died while going out of town on a mission."
"How did he die?"
"Of course, he was killed."
"Who killed my father?"
"This is actually a big secret, but now it seems unimportant anymore.... the person who killed your father is Cu Siau-thian."
"Why? Why did he kill my father?"
"I suspect Leng Taiya sent him out of town to investigate something. If he knew about this, it would definitely harm Cu Siau-thian."
"Then who are you?"
"I am Cu Siau-thian's trusted person. I am also his hired killer."
"But earlier you let me and my brother go..."
"That’s because I still have a conscience. I must help a noble-hearted young man..."
"There is a saying, if you help someone, help them to the end. If you deliver a Buddha, take them to the west."
"Unfortunately, I have a principle. If I attempt to kill someone, I won't attempt to kill them a second time. If I help someone, I also won't help them a second time. Moreover, Cu Taiya didn’t know earlier that I had the opportunity to kill you. Now this trap has been set by him. If I don’t kill you, he definitely won’t spare me."
"I still want to ask you, answer honestly as my last request."
"Go ahead."
"How many people have you killed recently?"
"Quite a few."
"Who are they?"
"Most of the dead were killed by me."
"Hui Taiya, Leng Taiya, and also Hiong-ki?"
"Correct."
"Why did you have to kill them?"
"I only kill based on orders; if you want to know the reason, you should ask Cu Siau-thian."
"Do you now have orders to kill me and Tu brother?"
"Correct. Tu Liong will surely follow soon."
"Where did Thiat-yan go?"
"Thiat-yan?" the white-eyebrowed man laughed coldly. "HUH! She should be in a temple now, becoming a nun."
Wie Kie-hong frowned.
"What do you mean by your words? She was just here debating with Cu Siau-thian."
"That woman is not the real Thiat-yan."
"Then who is she?"
"She is Cu Siau-thian's biological daughter. Only this secret was never told to anyone."
Now everything suddenly became clear to Wie Kie-hong. It turns out he and Tu Liong had been deceived from the start. Only they didn’t realize it.
"I don’t understand. Everyone has made this matter complicated and roundabout. Why do it?"
"Alright. I don’t want you to be reborn as a vengeful ghost. I better explain it to you at once. At that time, people harmed Tiat Liong-san indeed to seize the treasure he owned. A giant blood-red diamond, but after the incident, no one found the diamond. Cu Siau-thian always suspected that the diamond had fallen into Leng Souw-hiang’s hands. Just because at that time Leng Souw-hiang’s position was very high, Cu Siau-thian could only swallow his saliva and harbor resentment. He didn’t dare do anything. Not long after, the government was established. All the power Leng Souw-hiang had was lost. Only then did Cu Siau-thian re-investigate this matter. Suddenly he realized that Tiat Liong-san never had a giant blood-red diamond at all..."
Wie Kie-hong listened to this explanation with full concentration. It seemed he suddenly forgot that his life was hanging by a thread.
The person continued: "After Cu Siau-thian understood this, he pretended to say that the blood-red diamond was in his hands, based on the previous promise, the proceeds from selling the diamond should be divided into five. One person should get about fifty thousand foreign currency. But he was unwilling to pay that much money. He then tried to shift the blame to Leng Souw-hiang."
"And Leng Souw-hiang agreed to his wish just like that?"
"Leng Souw-hiang loved diamonds and gems very much. Of course, he agreed."
He then devised a plan. He sent his daughter to pretend to be Miss Thiat-yan and go out to settle the matter. He wanted to make Leng Souw-hiang curious no longer pursue the diamond issue. At first, Cu Siau-thian only wanted to settle these people. He didn’t expect you two to keep pursuing this matter and not let it go at all. Finally, Cu Siau-thian was forced to kill you too."
Wie Kie-hong felt like crying loudly, but the chance to cry had already left him.
The person didn’t stop explaining: "Hiong-ki also kept trying to investigate Tiat Liong-san’s death. Unexpectedly, the old warrior was also deceived by Cu Siau-thian. He mistakenly thought the fake swallow girl was Thiat-yan, Tiat Liong-san's real daughter. In the end, he had to die..."
Silence for a moment.
It seemed all explanations had been said by this person.
"Now the time has come...." suddenly he said while pulling out a knife from the sheath tied to his waist.
The knife held in his right hand glowed bluish under the room light.
This knife had a unique ornament.
Suddenly Wie Kie-hong's eyes lit up.
He immediately asked: "Where did you get that knife?"
"This is a loot from a victorious battle."
"Loot?"
"It happened very long ago. Years ago, Cu Siau-thian ordered me to kill someone. I found this unique knife on him. So I took it and have been using it until now."
"HUH!! Turns out you’re the one who killed my father!" suddenly Wie Kie-hong’s emotions exploded.
He didn’t care that he could die anytime, "now I will settle the score with you."
"Wie Kie-hong, actually because I killed your father, I don’t want to kill you again. That’s why earlier I already saved you once. But unexpectedly, the safe path of heaven you didn’t choose, you instead treaded the hell path leading to death. This can’t blame me."
The white-eyebrowed man pressed Wie Ceng’s knife to Wie Kie-hong’s neck.
Tears flowed from Wie Kie-hong’s eyes, not expecting he would follow his father, even dying by his father’s own knife, harboring deep resentment.
He was not willing for all this to end just like that, but he couldn’t do anything.
Wie Kie-hong could only close his eyes and take a deep breath.
"STOP!!" Suddenly a loud shout was heard from outside the room.
The voice was Tu Liong's.
"White-eyebrowed killer! Let him go!"
Wie Kie-hong was stunned seeing Tu brother, whom he had always revered.
"Why should I obey you?"
"Remember you once said you still serve me until the contract period?"
"But you said you didn’t need my help anymore."
While they were debating, the white-eyebrowed killer's concentration was already distracted.
Wie Kie-hong suddenly remembered Bu Tiat-cui.
He took advantage of this opportunity to break free.
Like Bu Tiat-cui at that time, he immediately swung his hand towards the white-eyebrowed killer’s groin.
"THUD!!!" The white-eyebrowed killer didn’t expect Wie Kie-hong to act like that at all; he immediately felt extreme pain until he could barely breathe.
His grip on Wie Kie-hong’s shoulder immediately loosened, and he bent down in pain.
Wie Kie-hong immediately moved beside his Tu brother.
Suddenly two shadows darted into the room; in a moment, Cu Siau-thian and Thiat-yan were already standing in front of them.
