"puff……"

A tremendous chill ran down his face; Dou Shiliu, lying on the ground, was awakened by the biting cold water and accidentally choked.

"Cough cough..."

She opened her heavy eyelids, swayed as she got up, and a gust of wind, seemingly from nowhere, made her shiver.

In a daze, I overheard a conversation between two people.

"Go tell Chenyi that this woman has woken up."

A series of rustling footsteps faded away, and the basement fell silent.

Although it was a hot summer day, the floor of this stuffy basement had a slightly chilling coolness that made Dou Shiliu's teeth chatter.

She struggled to her feet, her hands bound, unable to move. A burning pain shot through her abdomen; she'd probably been kicked or punched while she was unconscious.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dou Shiliu saw someone in the distance, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

That was Qi Yexuan, lying there carelessly, her body surrounded by blood, a horrifying sight.

Her hair was soaked and stuck to her face in strands, obscuring her expression. She was completely still, like a corpse.

Dou Shiliu swallowed hard, stunned, his voice trembling slightly, "System, is she dead?"

The white object scanned her body; her temperature was gradually dropping, and her breathing was becoming weak and barely perceptible. "Host, she can't hold on any longer."

His voice choked in his throat. She was the mother of the cannon fodder character in this life; if something happened to her, wouldn't he be devastated?

Dou Shiliu lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes concealing her thoughts. A cool breeze blew by, and she suddenly looked up, a hint of determination in her eyes.

She wouldn't let Qi Yexuan die; in this world, she had to die a natural death!

"System, I need you to save her immediately!"

Bai Tuan said helplessly, "My important privilege can only be used on you, not on the people in the small world."

Dou Shiliu pursed her lips tightly; it seemed there was no other way.

Qi Yexuan, who was on the verge of death in the distance, desperately needed help.

Straining his willpower, he moved his bound hands, muttered forbidden words, and his eyes gradually turned black. A faint white light emanated from behind him, gradually growing stronger until it illuminated every corner of the basement.

The intense light stung Qi Yexuan's eyes, and she forced them open them a crack, seeing a girl inside the white light.

Did she...see an angel? Then she can die without regrets...

It's just a bit cold.

She then fell unconscious, and it only took a few seconds; no one noticed Qi Yexuan's movements.

Her vital energy gradually dwindled to zero...

Dou Shiliu's fair and delicate hands were covered in blood. Her body simply couldn't withstand her power. The last time she used it was when that body was almost completely destroyed.

Her body was very weak, but in order to save Qi Yexuan, she had no choice but to forcefully break through and use her abilities.

The weather outside was originally sunny and the hot sun suddenly turned gray and hazy, accompanied by a few flashes of lightning.

"boom…"

One area was charred black by the slashing, startling passersby who fled in panic.

The television weather station is also broadcasting weather forecasts to citizens.

"A sudden downpour, accompanied by tremendous thunder and lightning, is hereby announced. Citizens are advised to bring umbrellas when going out, as a severe rainstorm may follow..."

"Boom! Boom!" Several bolts of lightning struck down from the sky in succession.

At the old Han family residence, Han Xiao's heart remained unsettled amidst the thunder, a profound sense of panic rising within him.

Cold-cloth fruit... alone at home

She pursed her lips and said to the old man and Han Silong who were talking in the distance, "I'm going to make a phone call."

I walked to the window and watched the lightning flash across the dark, overcast sky, striking down in bursts as if to obliterate the soul of some sinner.

Taking out her phone, Han Xiao didn't notice his hand trembling slightly. "Han Feng, where is Miss?"

The phone suddenly went silent for a long time before finally saying, "Miss isn't here either. She was kidnapped by Chen Yi. There's a letter at the door telling us to come and collect her body in two days."

Han Feng was deeply depressed. This time, Chen Yi truly intended to perish together with the mistress, so he left very few traces. His actions were swift and clean. By the time their people found him, they would most likely only find two corpses.

Han Xiao felt a wave of dizziness. Luckily, there was a handrail nearby, or she would have collapsed.

His mother has been missing for 24 hours, and he has been in a state of extreme tension all day. Now, the girl he loves has also been kidnapped, and he has suffered a mental breakdown.

Thinking of the information they found, Han Xiao felt waves of fear. Chen Yi, that gentle and refined man, was actually a pervert!

After eliminating his partner Gu Xijue, he also hunted down Gu's family, and ruthlessly imprisoned men who bore even a slight resemblance to his master, subjecting them to horrific misery.

He fell in love with Chen Yi! His master! He sought revenge against the Han family with madness. He knew the Han family's every move and understood who he and his father cared about most.

Their weaknesses

Everything is now in Chen Yi's hands; outside the window, thunder rumbles deafeningly.

Han Xiao's body grew cold rapidly, and her mind went completely blank.

No… he couldn’t lose his composure; his Cold Clothes Fruit was still waiting for him to save it…

Han Silong rushed to the study in a panic, interrupting their discussion.

"Utilize internal resources"

The deepest strength of the Han family, the strength to enrich and power a nation, the strength earned through generations of hard work and perseverance.

The old man's sharp eyes pierced Shen Hanxiao, and he interrupted him without hesitation, "Are you trying to make the president wary of the Han family?"

The president cannot allow anything to go beyond his control.

Han Xiao remained expressionless.

"Father, Chenyi is the president's son-in-law. Have Second Uncle report this to the president. If my mother and wife meet with any mishap..."

The voice that reached Han Silong's ears instantly turned bloodthirsty and cold. Han Xiao spoke, "Then let's change the president."

boom!

A flash of lightning and a clap of thunder stretched Han Xiao's shadow long in the study.

Han Xiao's chillingly cold gaze silenced the old man, who remained silent with a serious expression. Han Silong was brought back to his senses by the thunder.

He had no doubt what his son said.

He nodded solemnly and informed Han Song Nie.

...

"Host……"

Amidst Bai Tuan's startled cry, Dou Shiliu coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body swaying as he collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling, the sound of thunder ringing in his ears.

Qi Yexuan, lying on the ground, showed no apparent change, but in Bai Tuan's eyes, her body gradually warmed up, her breathing became steady, and her life force returned to its peak.

boom……

Another clap of thunder, and Chen Yi's dashing figure appeared in Dou Shiliu's eyes, making her heart tighten.

She simply couldn't fathom this mortal.

I tried to straighten myself up slightly and back away, but I hit the corner and had nowhere to retreat.

Chen Yi chuckled lightly, "Am I that scary?"

Dou Shiliu glanced expressionlessly at the knife in his hand.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Chen Yi smiled and picked up the knife in his hand; its thin blade reflected a silvery light.

"You said I gouged out Qi Yexuan's left eye, now I'm gouging out your right eye, okay?"

abnormal

During the treatment of Qi Yexuan just now, her face was splashed with sulfuric acid, and she lost an eye.
