Luo Yao could no longer make a sound. His eyes were still wide open, and his other hand was still in a scratching position, but now it fell limply to the side.

Hua Shuyan was panting heavily, with many injuries on his face and body. Especially since it was his first time killing someone, he was deeply shocked. He only managed to get up from Luo Yao after he was certain that Luo Yao could never come back to life. However, before he could take a single step, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

No, we need to leave as soon as possible.

Although no one usually comes to this place, a dead person will eventually be discovered, and it would be troublesome if they found out about it.

Hua Shuyan, supporting himself with his two noodle-like legs, stumbled away.

Luo Yao never returned, and with the sun setting in the west and no contact possible, Ning Yun was distressed, yet she couldn't completely abandon the situation.

Now that he's already here, how can he explain to the master if something happens to Luo Yao right under his nose?

The men who went out to gather information quickly returned with the news.

“Master Ning, something seems amiss. Qin Yiheng didn’t go far today.”

"Yes, I'm at the Chu family group, and Qin Yiheng has never been there."

Just then, another person staggered over. His eyes were wide open, drool was dripping from his mouth, but he couldn't close his mouth. He was speaking in a muffled, incoherent way, clearly having been greatly frightened.

"No...no...no good..."

"What happened? Explain yourself!" Ning Yun slapped the man with his hand, making him spin around on the spot, which calmed him down considerably.

"Something terrible has happened! Young Master, the young master is dead."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. The other subordinates looked at the man with disbelief, glancing at Ning Yun.

Ning Yun grabbed him by the collar and asked, word by word, "What did you say?"

"It's true, right there, right by the river in the eastern suburbs, the young master, the young master is dead..." The man trembled all over as he mentioned this, and the seven-foot-tall man was so frightened that he cried.

In truth, they didn't have much affection for Luo Yao, but they were still following him. With his death, they would all be guilty of failing to protect him, and the master family wouldn't let them off easily.

Even Ning Yun's expression froze for a moment.

"Smack—"

He suddenly overturned the coffee table and spat out a few words: "Qin! Yi! Heng!"

It's very likely that Luo Yao went out today to see Qin Yiheng. Ning Yun had heard from his people that Luo Yao wanted to find Qin Yiheng to treat his illness, and he had also checked and found that there was indeed such a thing.

So it's very clear that Qin Yiheng was the one who did it.

That's incredibly audacious!

They simply don't take the Luo family seriously.

"Master Ning, what do we do now?" The subordinates were trembling with fear, completely losing their leader.

"What else can we do? Immediately notify the family to collect the body." Ning Yun gave the order and turned to leave.

He had another matter to attend to.

He later discovered that Hua Shuyan was also involved in the matter, acting as a liaison between Luo Yao and Qin Yiheng. Therefore, he was certainly not immune to Luo Yao's death.

Hua Shuyan simply never went out.

Even though he felt that Luo Yao deserved to be punished for killing someone and that the abuse was too much, he still had uncontrollable nightmares and was in a bad state. He could only hypnotize himself and try to adjust his condition so that Hua Yuanhua could not see it.

But the effect wasn't very good. Sometimes he even felt that there were things related to Luo Yao everywhere in the house. Especially when he saw the gifts that Luo Yao had sent at the beginning, he was terrified and thought that Luo Yao could attach himself to the gifts and come back to take his life.

"Damn it, even in death you won't stop, you still want to harm me..."

Hua Shuyan grumbled and packed all the gifts, then went out under cover of night, intending to find a faraway place to throw them away.

Throughout the journey, he felt as if something was following him.

Especially as you venture further into remote and sparsely populated areas, the feeling of being followed becomes increasingly pronounced.

"who?"

He turned around abruptly, trying to catch the person off guard, but found only emptiness behind him, with only the dim streetlights diligently shining, and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the trees beside him.

Don't scare yourself, it's okay, it's okay.

Hua Shuyan offered this comfort, but soon heard footsteps behind him again.

"Luo Yao?" he shouted again, but of course there was no response.

As if to bolster his courage, Hua Shuyan shouted and cursed as he walked: "Luo Yao! Don't try to scare me, you fucking deserve to die, you..."

The rustling sound started again, but this time, the sound didn't disappear even after Hua Shuyan turned around.

The figure was hidden in the darkness and arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Bang—"

Hua Shuyan was kicked away, crashing into the trash can behind him. He was covered in filth and coughed incessantly, tears streaming down his face, making it impossible for him to see who it was.

"It seems you really can't escape responsibility for Luo Yao's death." The man's voice was deep, his steps were steady, and his face was not visible in the darkness, making one feel that even death itself was nothing more than this.

"What, what..." Hua Shuyan was still unwilling to admit it.

Punches and kicks came one after another, giving Hua Shuyan no chance to fight back. He wanted to shout, but he had deliberately chosen this place. Where could he find anyone? And with this fighting style, even if someone saw it, they wouldn't dare to interfere.

"Hero, hero, spare my life! Who are you... cough cough, who are you?" Hua Shuyan's eyes were swollen beyond recognition, and blood gushed from his mouth as he spoke.

"Don't you know? You killed Luo Yao."

No! That's not it!

Hua Shuyan denied it without even thinking. Did this person actually want to avenge Luo Yao?

"puff……"

Another punch landed, sending Hua Shuyan's teeth flying and leaving his whole body numb with pain.

However, at this point, his mind started working. This person was obviously here for Luo Yao. With such high martial arts skills and such a powerful aura, he was very likely a master invited by Luo Yao.

How could I possibly be a match for him?

If they keep fighting like this, he'll lose his life.

As the expert's leg came flying at him, Hua Shuyan grabbed it tightly with both hands, pleading, "Expert, spare my life! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything..."

"It wasn't me! I was just listening to Luo Yao, helping him contact Qin Yiheng for treatment. It was Qin Yiheng who killed Luo Yao! I was wrong, I'll never do it again! Let me go, spare my life..."

As Hua Shuyan spoke, he coughed up large amounts of blood, clearly indicating that he was about to die.

"Are you serious?" Ning Yun tugged at Hua Shuyan's hair, making him look at her.

Hua Shuyan's neck was also injured, and this position made it difficult for him to breathe; he could only gasp out, "Really...really..."

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Ning Yun left him behind, a cryptic look flashing in her eyes, before turning and disappearing into the night.
