If that person dares to sting her, she'll pull out his thorns and make sure he never leaves alive.

To act arrogantly in front of her is simply asking for trouble.

These three have offended her; they think they can get away unscathed? No way!

Even if that old man from the Nie family is incredibly powerful, so what? She's not going to be a vegetarian.

She had no intention of resolving this matter amicably, regardless of who stepped forward.

"Before you go see him, go see Madam Ouyang first." Jian Yixue left without further explanation, then got up and headed towards the basement.

basement.

The bodyguard on night watch nodded respectfully when he saw the newcomers, saying, "Madam, Master."

Jian Yixue nodded. "Open the door."

Ye Mohan didn't speak, but simply followed behind Jian Yixue, with Lin Yi following behind him as well.

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard nodded quickly, "Yes, Madam." He then unlocked the door to the room behind him.

Jian Yixue walked straight in, and Ye Mohan followed her into the room.

Lin Yi remained at the door, ready to receive orders at any time.

The people inside looked towards the door upon hearing the noise, and when they saw who it was, a hint of displeasure appeared in their eyes.

The room was still completely sealed off, except for a tiny vent at the top, so even with the lights on, it was very dark.

The room contained only a simple iron bed frame and a table and chairs for dining, and at that moment Madam Ouyang was sitting on the edge of the bed, glaring at her.

When Jian Yixue saw the untouched dinner on the table, a mocking smile crept onto her lips.

If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. It's not her who's going hungry anyway.

When Jian Yixue walked up to Madam Ouyang, Madam Ouyang's expression visibly turned displeased.

What are you doing here?

She didn't understand why Jian Yixue would approach her. She hadn't been involved in this matter at all, except for calling her brother to ask someone to come over.

There's no reason for Jian Yixue to come looking for me. Could it be that she knows something? Or did I give myself away somewhere?

For a moment, Madam Ouyang was somewhat puzzled.

Jian Yixue didn't give her time to figure it out. "You know me? Have we met before?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang guessed that Jian Yixue was unaware of her situation, and immediately felt much relieved.

But before she could feel at ease for long, Jian Yixue's next words made her secretly think that something was wrong.

"Or is the person you know not me, but someone who looks like me?" Jian Yixue probed, observing Madam Ouyang's expression.

Just as she had expected.

Madam Ouyang was clearly flustered upon hearing this, which Jian Yixue noticed immediately.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Madam Ouyang said, her eyes darting around.

"I advise you to release us as soon as possible, or you will definitely not be able to bear the consequences." Fearing that Jian Yixue would become suspicious, Madam Ouyang quickly made a harsh statement.

Jian Yixue sneered, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. You'd be better off spending that time worrying about your own safety."

There's definitely something wrong with this Madam Ouyang; that's something Jian Yixue is certain of right now.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang's face stiffened. She had been in such a hurry that she had momentarily forgotten that she was still in Madam Ouyang's hands.

I don't know if my actions have aroused suspicion in the other party.

Madam Ouyang was inwardly flustered, but she pretended to be calm. She couldn't let Jian Yixue see her thoughts, otherwise, if it really was as Jian Yixue thought, her fate would be no better than it is now.

Madam Ouyang feigned composure, "I don't know you at all. What do you want with me?"

"Don't you recognize me? Then why do I feel like you recognize me? To be precise, you recognize my face, right?" Jian Yixue pressed further.

Madam Ouyang's face paled; she had indeed become suspicious.

No, she can't know; this is Madam Ouyang's current thought.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I've already said I don't know you. Your grievances with my husband are none of my business. I can't influence his decisions. If you're trying to find fault with me, I advise you to give up."

Madam Ouyang dared not look into Jian Yixue's eyes, fearing that she might find some clues in them, and could only try to distract her.

But this had no effect on Jian Yixue. She looked coldly at Madam Ouyang and said, "Are you sure this is what you want to say? Don't think that anyone can come to save you. Even if your father came, he couldn't save you. As long as I don't want to release people, no one can stop me."

"You...you're being unreasonable! Aren't you afraid of what outsiders will think of you if they find out? Do you think the president will protect you then? Do you think you'll live a safe and sound life? Don't dream about it!" Madam Ouyang said angrily.

That damn bitch is just as despicable as that other person.

Since she was brought back to the Nie family, she has never stayed in such a bad room. Everything here reminds her of her unbearable past.

Before she and her brother were found and returned to the Nie family, they lived a life of constant wandering, never knowing where their next meal would come from.

Thinking of this, Madam Ouyang hated Jian Yixue even more. She had a grudge against her, and as long as she was allowed to get out of here alive, she would never let her go.

If eyes could transform into knives, Jian Yixue would probably be riddled with holes by now.

Jian Yixue didn't care at all. "Should I say you're naive or innocent? You're so old, how come you still go out without thinking?"

Even if the president finds out, he can't save you. As for what others think, I don't care at all.

I'll ask you one more time: are you going to confess honestly or something else? Before you speak, let me remind you that anything that truly happens in your life will leave traces; it's just a matter of taking a little more time.

The implication is: Even if you don't tell me, I will find out the truth.

Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang's face turned ashen and extremely ugly, completely unlike the dignified and elegant Madam Ouyang she usually was; she looked like a madwoman.

"Oh, by the way, if you're no longer of any use, you can disappear from my sight."

"When I say 'disappear,' I don't mean sending you back; I mean sending you to hell!" Jian Yixue said with a cold smile.

They were clearly smiling, but you couldn't feel any genuine joy in their smiles.

Madam Ouyang couldn't help but shiver.

Looking at Jian Yixue's expression, she had no doubt about Jian Yixue's words, but how could she possibly say them out loud!

She can't and won't talk about that, and even if she did, the outcome wouldn't be much better than it is now.

Madam Ouyang lowered her head and remained silent for a long time, and the room fell into silence.

Jian Yixue's patience was almost exhausted. If she weren't worried about whether her mother was suffering and wanted to find her mother as soon as possible, she wouldn't have wasted any time here with this woman.
