Chapter 3030 He also left a complete corpse

Zhu Chengjin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I don't need to convince you."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly threw something in front of Nan Yan with his hands behind his back: "The evidence is right here."

It was a bloody sweat towel.

When Nan Yan saw it, she felt as if all the energy was drained out of her body, and not even the heat in her body was left. As she was always close to Zhu Feng, she knew best what he was wearing. This sweat towel was one he had used for many years and he never wanted to change it.

To her, it was all too familiar.

However, what is unfamiliar is the bloodstains on it that have turned red to black - I don’t know how much blood must have been shed, and how much pain the bleeding person must have felt, to leave such marks on it, so blindingly red.

I couldn't believe it, or even ask.

Nan Yan could only sit there blankly, looking down at the glaring blood red.

What she saw was like fire, but her whole body was as cold as ice.

Zhu Chengjin was very satisfied. What he liked to see most was a person who had lost the most important people and things to him, and whose soul had been drained out. Every time he saw someone's empty and desperate expression and felt someone's pain, he felt an indescribable satisfaction, just like at this moment.

He slowly leaned over, looked straight into Nan Yan's hollow, dark eyes, and said with a smile, "Do you understand?"

“…”

"Or, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

“…”

"Although Ran Xiaoyu is being hunted down by your men—presumably those so-called Jinyiwei—and there's no way to cut off his head and send it over, and the people I left at Hang Seng Bank only had time to remove this handkerchief, the news still managed to get through."

“…”

"Ran Xiaoyu's attack was so quick that he didn't even have time to feel the pain. I just don't know what he was thinking about when he fell. Was he thinking about you?"

“…”

"I'm afraid you'll have to ask him yourself in the future. Right now, no one knows."

Nan Yan clenched her fists tightly.

If at this moment, Zhu Chengjin brought over a severed hand, or a head that was truly disfigured by blood, she would not believe it, because the more realistic it tried to be, the more flaws it would have.

But now, every word he said seemed like it could really happen.

If Ran Xiaoyu really took action, the Jinyiwei led by Li Bushang would definitely tear her into pieces, and she would have no chance of getting the things from Zhu Feng.

That's why people from Hang Seng Bank went over to take action.

And this sweat towel, I'm afraid it is——

Thinking of this, she felt a surge of severe pain that almost swept away her soul and crushed it. She fell down and supported herself on the ground with one hand. Then, she saw a little bright red thing dripping onto the back of her hand drop by drop.

It's blood.

She didn't know when blood started dripping from her mouth and nose!

Zhu Chengjin was initially shocked when he saw her fall down, but when he saw her vomiting blood, his eyes became bloodshot. He was filled with excitement and said with a sinister grin, "Don't be sad, don't be too sad."

“…”

"At least now you know that he still has an intact body."

Nan Yan gritted her teeth, the fishy taste in her mouth stimulating her whole body and shaking. She raised her head and looked at Zhu Chengjin, saying word by word, "I still don't believe it."

Zhu Chengjin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Nan Yan swallowed hard, but when she spoke, her voice was filled with bloodthirsty ferocity, like a she-wolf cornered in despair. She growled, "He can't die where I can't see him. He won't, and I won't allow it!"

Zhu Chengjin smiled even more happily.

He said: "What a loving couple."

“…”

"But who could have imagined that my uncle stole the woman who should have been in my bed. You should have belonged to me, but he took you away and enjoyed you. You two should go to hell!"

“…”

"His death is something that even God cannot bear to see. In my opinion, it's too easy for him to die like this."

The more Zhu Chengjin spoke, the more ferocious his smile became, even to the brink of madness.

But then, he put away his almost ostentatious madness, stared at Nan Yan coldly and said, "Can you still survive?"

“…”

"Or do you want to die for him here?"

“…”

"If you want to die for him here, I will definitely not stop you. However, this place is Tiangang Lianhuanwu, and the bandits here don't see women all year round. If you are alive, I will still protect you. If you die, you will just be a corpse, and there is no need for me to protect you."

Nan Yan looked at him with red eyes.

After a while, she gritted her teeth and said in a hoarse voice, "You don't have to provoke me. It's up to me to decide whether to live or die."

"So, do you want to live or die?"

Nan Yan took a deep breath and wiped the blood from her mouth and nose with her sleeve. Half of her face was smeared red, but she didn't care at all. She just said with red eyes: "Now, it's not time for me to die."

“…”

"I don't believe a word you say."

Zhu Chengjin burst into laughter.

He stood up, looked down at Nan Yan, and said, "Do you know why I didn't kill you so many times?"

“…”

"Not only do I think it's somewhat useful, but most importantly, I just want to see you like this."

“…”

"Perhaps, after I take you out and you see the scenery outside, your performance will be more interesting. I can't wait to see what you look like then."

After saying this, he turned and walked out, saying in a loud voice as he walked: "Come here, serve this 'current imperial concubine', we will leave in the afternoon!"

Nan Yan knelt there and watched him walk away before she forced herself to stand up slowly.

One hand was still tightly holding the sweat towel.

At this time, Tingfu ran in from outside. He had also heard the news. When he walked in and saw Nanyan's face half covered in blood, with a blood-stained towel in his hand, he froze in place. After a long while, he walked over tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor, the Emperor--"

Nan Yan looked down at him.

Gritting his teeth, which were stained with blood, like a wild beast that had just fought a human, he said in a deep voice, "It's not time to despair yet."

"Your Majesty..."

"Go back and prepare, he wants to take us away from Xingluo Lake."

“…”

"I also want to go out and see what's going on outside. If it's really--"

Tingfu's voice also began to sob, and he said at a loss: "If it is true, Madam, was it really Miss Xiaoyu who did it?"

Nan Yan trembled suddenly.

Just then, a familiar figure slowly walked to the door.
