The sound of the countdown amplified in my mind.

Every second felt like a death knell, making her heart pound harder and harder.

Outside the door, she was powerless and surrounded by a group of burly bodyguards.

Inside the door, Cui Ziqi was about to suffer a terrible fate.

Cold sweat poured down her forehead. She was in a panic, but dared not show the slightest fear on her face.

Her cold gaze swept over the bodyguards who were walking towards her, and landed directly on Cui Nan.

"You keep saying you're good to Cui Ziqi, but aren't you just watching him fall into the tiger's den?"

Cui Nan glared at her, "Xia Wan, you have no right to talk to me like that!"

If Xia Wan hadn't been so persistent in her pursuit of Cui Ziqi, she wouldn't have agreed to let Cui Ziqi come here.

She only hoped that Xia Wan would realize that Cui Ziqi was a bloody, violent person who liked men, and then automatically leave Cui Ziqi's world.

Unfortunately, Xia Wan was just too difficult to deal with.

Xia Wan sneered, stepped forward, and walked up to Cui Jiyang and Cui Nan.

"If Cui Ziqi's mother were alive, knowing how you treated her son, she would probably do everything she could to contact her family and destroy the Cui family. But now it's good that this responsibility has fallen on my shoulders."

When Cui Ziqi's mother was mentioned.

More accurately, it refers to the family of Cui Ziqi's mother.

Cui Jiyang and Cui Nan's expressions changed simultaneously.

Xia Wan took in the expressions of the two of them.

While the two were stunned, she quickly pounced on Cui Jiyang.

The two were shocked, never expecting Xia Wan to suddenly make a move.

Seeing this, the bodyguards on the side quickened their pace to stop Xia Wan.

Little did Xia Wan know that she had simply taken Cui Jiyang's cane and then tapped him on the calf.

Cui Jiyang felt pain in his foot and involuntarily slumped to the side.

Xia Wan held the dragon head of the cane and gently twisted it, causing the dragon head to detach from the cane and pull out a sharp, slender dagger.

While Cui Nan was frantically trying to rescue Cui Jiyang, Xia Wan calmly and quickly spun around, grabbed Cui Nan's shoulder, and brought the dagger to her slender neck.

"Don't move!"

She growled.

The bodyguards dared not move.

One of the bodyguards, who was very perceptive, bent down and helped Cui Jiyang up.

Cui Jiyang pointed at Xia Wan in shock, "You..."

How did she know he had a weapon in his cane?

Xia Wan knew what Cui Jiyang wanted to ask, and slowly curled her lips into a faint smile.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm a god, I know so many things about you~"

The color drained from Cui Jiyang's face, replaced by a thick layer of black.

[Host, you have two minutes left!]

The system's clearly anxious voice rang out in my mind.

Xia Wan moved her wrist and made a small cut on Cui Nan's neck, from which blood oozed out.

"Open the door. You know the power of your dagger."

Despite his monstrous nature, Cui Jiyang genuinely cared for his younger sister.

Seeing Cui Nan's pale face being treated like this by Xia Wan, I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Xia Wan, if you dare to lay a finger on Nan'er, I'll make you pay the price!"

Xia Wan said nonchalantly, "Anyone can threaten people. The police should be outside. If I make a big fuss, do you think your Cui Group, your Cui family, and even your dear sister will be ruined? Do you want to take a gamble?"

As she spoke, she strained, causing the wound on Cui Nan's neck to deepen further.

"You're insane! You and Cui Ziqi are both insane!"

Cui Jiyang was furious.

Cui Nan was restrained and could not use anything at all.

For the first time, she felt death was so close.

"Open the door!"

Xia Wan roared angrily.

Cui Jiyang's face darkened; though unwilling, he understood that Xia Wan was right.

The police are outside. If things get out of hand, even if he can resolve the situation, he will still be under police surveillance.

The police had long been dissatisfied with the Cui family because of their cover-up of Cui Ziqi's case.

Now, given a legitimate pretext, the Cui family is very likely to be investigated by the police.

At that point, he can't guarantee what the police will find.

He held his breath, looked at Yu Rong standing beside him, and ordered in a deep voice, "Open the door."

Yu Rong was not one of Cui Jiyang's men, so naturally he didn't listen to him.

Instead, a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Mr. Cui, is that all the guts you have?" He scoffed. "This is Chimei, Mr. Fu's territory. Do you think you can order me around?"

"Of course he can't order you around, but if the two injured nephews of the Cui family don't deal with the police, they'll probably storm in soon. Then you, you demon, and your dear President Fu will be implicated."

Xia Wan said softly.

There was only one minute left; she didn't have much time left.

She looked at Cui Jiyang and said coldly, "I don't have time to waste with you. I'll count to three, and if the door isn't open by then, I'll make this place the primary crime scene for this murder!"

The dagger in his hand gleamed coldly.

"elder brother……"

Cui Nan looked at Cui Jiyang for help, almost crying from fright.

Cui Jiyang knew that his younger sister, like Cui Ying, was only a bully at home and was actually a delicate and weak girl.

As Xia Wan began counting, he gritted his teeth and waved to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard understood Cui Jiyang's meaning and stepped forward to engage Yu Rong in combat.

Although they couldn't defeat Yu Rong, they had the advantage of having more people.

During the fight, the key fell out of Yu Rong's pocket, and one of the bodyguards quickly stepped forward with the key and opened the door.

Xia Wan kicked Cui Nan aside like trash, then kicked the door open and went inside, dagger in hand.

The alarm sounds echoed incessantly in my mind.
