Dashing Student-Chapter 589 - , Bitten to Death

The Ma Family, an aristocratic family with a century-old heritage, held significant sway in Provincial City with its vast business.

Ma Zhentian, the elder patriarch of the Ma Family, though old in age, still wielded absolute authority within the clan.

He had two sons; the elder, Ma Hongye, was composed and managed most of the family’s businesses with great finesse in the world of commerce.

The younger son, Ma Hongwei, hot-tempered and fond of martial arts, was in charge of the family’s security affairs and was also deeply involved in the family businesses.

And their sister was Lin Yu’s mother, Ma Huilan.

Ma Huilan was once the jewel of the Ma Family, the most pampered princess, but incited the anger of old patriarch Ma by becoming pregnant before marriage.

In a rage, the patriarch ousted her from the home, hoping to force her to abort at the hospital; yet, Ma Huilan refused to acquiesce.

After a ten-month pregnancy, she gave birth to a boy!

However, due to massive hemorrhage during labor, she met with a tragic death, marking the greatest regret of the patriarch’s life.

Therefore, the patriarch’s guilt towards his daughter was compensated by grooming Lin Yu into a figure of tremendous power!

Yet, very few were aware of this fact.

At this moment, within the grand and luxurious villa of the Ma Family, Ma Hongwei, the second master of the Ma Family, was leisurely sitting in a lounge chair in the courtyard.

A freshly brewed cup of aromatic tea sat on the stone table beside him, its steam rising lightly.

Next to him, a massive Tibetan Mastiff lay quietly. This Mastiff, his cherished pet, was well-trained and loyally devoted to him.

Chen Nan, wielding the King of Ten Thousand Gu, silently infiltrated the villa district, heading straight for the Ma Family’s villa.

The King of Ten Thousand Gu, like a black flash of lightning, instantly burrowed into the Mastiff’s body.

The normally docile Mastiff stiffened abruptly.

Immediately after, its eyes started glowing a sinister red, and it emitted a deep growl; its fur stood on end as it exuded a chilling presence.

Ma Hongwei noticed the Mastiff’s abnormalities, furrowed his brow, stood up, and walked toward the Mastiff, calling out, "Heizi, what’s wrong with you?"

However, the only response was the Mastiff’s increasingly violent roars.

Suddenly, the Mastiff, as if possessed, dug its paws into the ground and leaped toward Ma Hongwei.

Ma Hongwei was shocked and dismayed; he could never have anticipated that the usually obedient Mastiff would suddenly lose control of its animal instincts.

He instinctively tried to dodge, but the Mastiff was too fast and bit into his arm; its sharp fangs piercing through the flesh, blood spurted out profusely.

Ma Hongwei screamed in pain and struggled forcefully, attempting to escape the Mastiff’s clutches, but the Mastiff, now wholly devoid of reason, clamped down even tighter, violently shaking its head, tearing at Ma Hongwei’s arm.

The commotion in the courtyard alarmed the others inside the house; the servants of the Ma Family rushed out one after another, seeing the gruesome scene before them, they screamed in terror, at a loss of what to do.

"Somebody help, get the dog off me!" Ma Hongwei shouted hoarsely.

Only then did the servants snap to their senses, some grabbing brooms, others hefting wooden sticks, trying to fend off the Mastiff.

But the Mastiff had descended into madness, completely ignoring the attacks of the people, still mercilessly clinging onto Ma Hongwei.

In the midst of the chaos, when Ma Hongye, the eldest of the Ma Family heard the news, he hurried out from the house.

Seeing his brother injured, he was frantic and commanded the servants loudly: "Don’t panic, find a rope and tie the dog up!"

However, it was all too late. In its frenzied assault, the Mastiff had already inflicted several bites on servants attempting to approach.

Eventually, Ma Hongwei, having lost too much blood, collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Watching his younger brother lying in a pool of blood, Ma Hongye’s eyes instantly bulged with roundness, his facial muscles twisted in extreme grief.

His hands trembling, he slowly walked over to Ma Hongwei, crouched down, and reached out to gently check his brother’s breathing. When he confirmed that Ma Hongwei had stopped breathing, he collapsed onto the ground.

Obviously, he found it hard to accept his brother’s tragic death before his very eyes!

"What on earth happened here?" Ma Hongye turned sharply, his gaze like torches, sweeping over the servants who were shivering in terror.

The servants looked at each other, unable to offer an explanation; they could only shake their heads continuously, their faces filled with fright.

At this time, the Ma family patriarch, Ma Zhentian, supported by two servants, walked out of the house with a shaky gait.

Though he was aged, his eyes were still sharp. Seeing the bloody scene before him, he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

"Hongwei, Hongwei!" Ma Zhentian mournfully called out, his voice echoing in the courtyard, filled with endless desolation.

Ma Hongye quickly rose to his feet, went over to his father, and supported his tottering body, saying with tears in his eyes, "Father, Hongwei, he..."

Ma Zhentian waved his hand, signaling him not to speak further. His gaze fell on the deceased Tibetan Mastiff, his brow furrowed in a deep lock, filled with confusion.

This Tibetan Mastiff had always been treasured by Hongwei and was trained to be extremely docile. How could it suddenly become fierce and cause such a disaster?

"Immediately secure the scene and notify all members of the family to convene an emergency meeting at once!" Ma Zhentian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, his voice carrying an undeniable authority.

The servants hurriedly scattered to carry out his instructions.

Before long, the core members of the Ma family rushed to the villa.

Seeing the tragic scene in the courtyard, they all showed expressions of shock and grief.

Ma Hongye briefly recounted the events, and after hearing this, everyone was filled with indignant outrage.

"There’s definitely something fishy here; Heizi has always been gentle and wouldn’t have gone mad for no reason," a young man said with a furrowed brow.

"Could it be that someone has been meddling behind the scenes?" another family member speculated.

"It must be someone aiming at our Ma family!"

"The deaths of the Second Master and the Eldest Young Master were definitely no accident!"

When they heard the words ’Eldest Young Master,’ the expressions of the Ma family members changed drastically. Although they were shocked by the mysterious and tragic death of Ma Ye,

the forensic report concluded it was a cerebral embolism.

Now it seems that the inexplicable death of Ma Ye was no coincidence!

The people were all talking at once, discussing heatedly.

Ma Zhentian sat in the main seat, eyes closed in contemplation. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, which flashed a cold light: "No matter who it is, if they dare to touch my Ma family, I will make them pay a painful price!"

"From now on, the family will enter a state of alert, strengthen security forces, and must investigate the truth behind this incident!"

"Before the truth is uncovered, without my orders, no one is to leave the family grounds!"

Meanwhile.

Lin Yu also learned of the misfortune that befell the Ma family. When he heard that his second uncle had been bitten to death by a Tibetan Mastiff, he stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, his pupils revealing an unmistakable horror: "How could this be?"
