"That child will never forget that on the night of his fourth birthday, a fire engulfed the entire family. The courtyard was filled with screams, the smell of blood, and the sound of corpses falling in front of him. He was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he even saw his own parents fall in front of him. He will probably never forget the worried look in his parents' eyes."

"From that day on, he lost his happiest family and everyone who loved and cared for him, becoming a cursed figure despised by all. People said he had brought death to his own parents and his clan; others said he was bloodthirsty and had personally set the entire clan ablaze, plunging them into flames from which no one escaped..."

A deep shock flashed in Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's eyes. The two realized that this story seemed to be similar to the Shao family's!

"And then what happened? What about the boy?" Gu Momo asked worriedly. "No normal person would attribute a fire entirely to a child. I'm afraid this was done on purpose, to pin the blame on the child."

But this child is so pitiful, carrying so much burden at such a young age.

Hearing Gu Momo say this, Ye Rong's sharp eyes let out a contemptuous laugh: "Heh, if you can see it, how could others not see it? It's just that some people stand at the pinnacle of power and don't care about the truth at all. All they care about is having people trampled under their feet and being used as a joke for them to cheer about."

Gu Momo paused slightly before she could finish speaking, and then said nothing more.

She could tell that something was wrong with the look in Ye Rong's eyes!

"And then what happened?" Gu Momo asked with a smile. "This story should have its process and its ending, shouldn't it?"

Ye Rong's deep eyes gazed at Gu Momo, her voice devoid of emotion: "That boy was rescued by a powerful family, thus ending his life of being bullied."

Gu Momo was slightly taken aback: "And then?"

Surely the story can't end like this?

Ye Rong's expression turned cold at a visible speed: "But he discovered that the head of this family was the old man he had saved back then. It was this old man who whispered in his ear the gentlest yet cruelest words: 'I didn't expect you to survive, did you? Do you like the gift I gave you? Thank you for saving me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to infiltrate your family so easily, nor would I have been able to drug your family members, steal secrets, or so easily plunder your family's assets.'"

Ye Rong's piercing eyes flashed with a dark, cold light, and she clenched them tightly.

He also said: "Thanks to you, I was able to successfully take the position of head of the family and allow everyone in the family to possess countless riches!"

In that instant, Ye Rong felt countless icy energies flow into her body, and the smile in her eyes was like that of a demon from hell.

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting suddenly stood up from their seats, their expressions turning stern:

"So please tell me, patriarch, is there any connection between you and the story you're telling? And who exactly are you?"

"Heh..." Ye Rong's eyes flashed with a chilling light. "Who exactly am I? That's quite an interesting question for you. But there's something I have to remind you: you'd better leave here quickly, or you might never be able to get out again."

His cold gaze stared blankly at the sky, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused, as if he had lost his expression.

Before Gu Momo and Li Zhanting could get any information, a subordinate's panicked voice suddenly came from not far away:

"It's terrible! Mr. Ting, Miss Momo, our people have just entered the secret passage and discovered a large amount of collapse inside. The collapse is still continuing and is even moving this way. I'm afraid the entire mountain will soon be lost!"

What?! Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's expressions changed drastically instantly!

The two men stared sharply at Ye Rong, only to see her give them a chilling smile:

"Goodbye, Miss Gu, Mr. Li!"

The moment he finished speaking, he pressed a button on the wall, the hole in the wall opened, and he crawled right inside.

The cave entrance closed again. Gu Momo and Li Zhanting quickly stepped forward and pressed the button, but the cave entrance could no longer be found!

"Let's go check on our people first!" Li Zhanting immediately pulled Gu Momo away from there.

Meanwhile, the Ye family manor continued to collapse, the ground cracked, and the sound of stones rolling down the ground could be heard everywhere.

People in the Ye family manor kept evacuating outside, and the people from the Liuli Pavilion and the Mingye Alliance also quickly assembled and retreated.

Fu Jinye saw Gu Momo from afar and rushed over: "Momo, are you alright!"

"Zhan Ting and I are fine." Gu Momo narrowed her eyes as she looked at the imposter Fu Jinye: "Didn't we agree to go to the secret passage together? Why is the Ye Family Manor starting to collapse? Did someone deliberately set up traps and mechanisms here?"

"I don't know either!" The imposter Fu Jinye was furious. He had originally planned to use the secret passage to get rid of Gu Momo.

I never expected things to turn out this way. This was definitely done by the Alliance Leader!

He's planning to completely destroy the Ye family manor!

"MoMo, let's get out of here quickly! The leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has gone mad!" The imposter Fu Jinye urged Gu MoMo and Li Zhanting. Gu MoMo didn't hesitate any longer, "Okay, let's get out of here quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took Li Zhanting's hand and prepared to turn and leave, but unexpectedly, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the imposter Fu Jinye.

He quickly drew his gun, aimed it at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, and pulled the trigger!

Before he could make a move, a black figure suddenly emerged from the jungle and kicked Fu Jinye, who was bubbling away.

"Who goes there?!" Before the imposter Fu Jinye could react, he was pinned to the ground by a man in black. "Who are you? Momo, save Dad! This is the Emperor Killing Alliance!"

Gu Momo and Li Zhanting walked unhurriedly to Fu Jinye, looking down at him condescendingly.

"I originally thought you might still be useful, but now that the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has already exposed himself, there's no point in keeping you around. Tell me, were you responsible for Ye Meng's disappearance? Where is Ye Meng now?"

The imposter Fu Jinye stared at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting in disbelief, seemingly never expecting that the two would discover his true identity.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What Ye Meng? I have no idea about her!"

"Don't know? Looks like you're really stubborn!" Gu Momo sneered, waving her hand, "Guards, take them away!"

"Yes!" The subordinate rushed forward and immediately took the imposter Fu Jinye away.

"Wait!" Gu Momo immediately added, "Take a closer look at his face. Is it a human skin mask or has he had plastic surgery? If it's a human skin mask, we can just tear it off; but if he's had plastic surgery and looks like this, then we should take him to get plastic surgery first. I don't want to see a face like my dad's again!"
