Chapter 613 Meddlesome

"Hungry?" Zhao Xiyue sneered and approached step by step. Her high heels stepped on the marble floor, making a crisp "click, click, click" sound. Each step seemed to step on the servant's heart. "Did I ask you to cut fruit? Did I ask you to meddle in other people's business?"

"No, miss, I was wrong..." The servant was so scared that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

Zhao Xiyue walked up to her, her eyes falling on the plate of neatly cut, juicy fruits in her hand, and the hostility in her eyes became even stronger.

She suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard!

“Snap—”

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the living room.

The fruit plate fell from the servant's hands and fell to the ground, the glass shattered, and the fruit rolled everywhere, making a mess.

"Useless thing!" Zhao Xiyue pointed at the servant's nose and screamed, "If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of keeping you! Get out! Get out!"

The servant covered his burning face with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word and ran out crawling.

Zhao Xiyue was the only one left in the empty living room.

She looked at the mess on the ground, but the anger in her heart did not subside at all, instead it grew stronger.

That idiot Su Jiujiu must have been caught by Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan!

Her last incoherent words were clearly a cry for help!

Now, not only is her face ruined, but she's also in Chi Wenyan's hands. Will she give herself up? She definitely will! That woman would do anything to survive!

A hint of ruthless murderous intent flashed in Zhao Xiyue's eyes.

no!

We must not let Su Jiujiu have the chance to speak!

A disfigured replacement has no value anymore, and keeping it will only bring disaster!

She must die!

Only the dead can keep secrets forever!

Zhao Xiyue slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, all the panic and anger in her eyes had faded away, leaving only an unfathomable calmness and cruelty.

She picked up another spare phone and dialed a number without hesitation.

The call was quickly connected, and a deep male voice came from the other end: "Hello."

Zhao Xiyue's voice was as cold as ice: "Go and clean up Su Jiujiu's location immediately. Remember, I don't want any survivors."

Chi family villa, basement.

This place has been converted into a temporary ward, and the air is filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

Su Jiujiu was lying on the bed, with thick gauze wrapped around her face and body, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with fear and resentment.

It’s ruined, all ruined!

Her face, her future, everything she had, turned into nothing when that bottle of sulfuric acid was poured over her!

She hated Ji Wan, and she hated Zhao Xiyue even more for taking advantage of her and then wanting to silence her!

“Squeak—”

The door was pushed open and a middle-aged maid came in carrying a tray.

It was Liu Ma who was in charge of guarding her.

"Miss Su, it's time to take your medicine and drink your porridge." Aunt Liu's voice was trembling, her eyes were evasive, and she didn't dare to look directly at Su Jiujiu.

Su Jiujiu stared at her warily and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Ji Wan? Did she ask you to come?"

"The young lady is busy." Aunt Liu put the tray on the bedside table and picked up the bowl of steaming porridge. "Let me feed you."

Her hands were shaking so badly that the edge of the bowl and the spoon collided, making a soft "tinkling" sound.

The suspicion in Su Jiujiu's eyes deepened.

There's something wrong with this servant!

Just as Aunt Liu scooped up a spoonful of porridge and was about to pass it to Su Jiujiu's mouth, a cold voice sounded at the door.

"lay down."

Aunt Liu was so frightened that her whole body shuddered and her hand trembled, spilling half a spoonful of hot porridge on the back of her hand. However, she seemed not to feel the pain and turned around stiffly.

Ji Wan stood at the door at some point, arms folded across his chest, looking at her with a cold expression.

"Young... Young Madam..." Liu Ma's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her lips trembled, and she couldn't even finish a sentence.

"I remember I instructed that no one is allowed to send her anything without my permission." Ji Wan walked in slowly, and every step seemed to be stepping on Liu Ma's heart, making her breathless.

"I... I felt sorry for Miss Su so I wanted to let her drink some hot porridge..." Cold sweat oozed from Aunt Liu's forehead as she was still making her last struggle.

"Pathetic?" Ji Wan raised his lips in a sarcastic arc, his eyes falling on the bowl of porridge, "Since you are so kind, drink this bowl of porridge."

"No! No!"

Liu Ma's psychological defenses collapsed instantly, her legs went soft, and she fell to her knees with a plop. The bowl in her hand fell to the ground, and the porridge spilled all over the floor.

"Madam, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please forgive me!" She burst into tears and kowtowed desperately, "This porridge is poisonous! I didn't mean to harm her! It was... someone gave me a large sum of money to poison her!"

When Su Jiujiu, who was lying on the bed, heard the word "poisonous", her pupils suddenly contracted and her whole body began to tremble violently with fear.

Almost! Just a little bit! She was going to be poisoned to death!

"Who?" Ji Wan looked down at her, his voice calm.

"I don't know who she is... She contacted me from a phone number without a number..." Aunt Liu cried as she pulled out a bank card from her pocket. "She said that after the deal is done, the one million in this card will all be mine! I was bewildered... I was confused for a moment, Madam!"

One million, just to kill someone right under her nose.

A hint of coldness flashed across Ji Wan's eyes.

She could guess without thinking that this matter was related to Zhao Xiyue.

A disfigured substitute who was held hostage has become the most dangerous burden to Zhao Xiyue.

Killing to silence the witness was her only option.

"You're such a cruel person." Ji Wan sneered, his gaze turning to the frightened Su Jiujiu lying on the bed. "Did you hear that? Your good 'sister' can't wait to send you on your way."

Su Jiujiu bit her lips tightly, traces of blood seeped out from under the gauze, and her eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred and a strong desire to survive.

"I won't let her succeed!" She screamed, "Ji Wan! If you leave me here, I'll still be useful! I know all her secrets! I can tell you everything! As long as you keep me alive!"

Just then, steady footsteps were heard at the door.

Chi Wenyan walked in. He took one look at Liu Ma who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and the mess on the ground. A storm instantly gathered in his deep black eyes, and a terrifying murderous aura spread out.

"You dare to start a fight in my place." He walked over to Ji Wan, put his arm around her waist, and said in a voice so cold that ice chips could fall off. "Deal with the person and find out the source of the money. I want the mastermind behind this to be dead without a burial place."

As soon as Chi Wenyan finished speaking, two bodyguards in black suits appeared at the door like ghosts and walked in with expressionless faces.
