Once inside, the three no longer needed to search for Liu Yu, as his shouts echoed through the central hall, suggesting he had encountered some misfortune or suffered some painful event.

Without hesitation, the three rushed over to check the situation. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Liu Yu kneeling on the ground, holding a child covered in blood, calling out anxiously.

The child he was holding had limbs bent at an abnormal angle, and even seemed somewhat stiff. His blood was black, indicating that he had died from poisoning.

The woman sitting on the high platform had a sharp expression on her face. She smiled contemptuously and watched everything with a cold eye. When Liu Yu caught his breath, she spoke up, "At this time, death is the best relief. Your daughter is dead. You should be happy, not wailing like a mourner. It's completely meaningless."

Liu Yu raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his whole body trembling with anger. He demanded, "Then why aren't you dead? Why is it my daughter? She's only seven years old. She talked to me when I left today, telling me to be careful and that she would wait for me to come back. And all you gave me was this cold, lifeless corpse. My daughter, why did she become like this? Tell me! Speak up!"

The woman frowned, seemingly displeased that her authority had been challenged. As the head of the resettlement office and a capable assistant to Mayor Xiao, Jiang Hong had always been a person of high status.

Apart from Chief Xiao, she had never been criticized by anyone, and no one dared to question her so loudly.

Liu Yu wouldn't have dared to do that before, but now, as a father, he is strong.

Jiang Hong got up, strolled over to Liu Yu, stared at him with an air of superiority, and kicked him and his daughter onto the door ledge when Liu Yu stubbornly looked up at her.

"Ah... um!" Liu Yu groaned, not having time to worry about his injuries, and quickly got up to pick up his daughter.

"You...you've really gone too far. I won't let you get away with this." Liu Yu gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and said fiercely.

Jiang Hong covered her mouth and chuckled, and the people around her echoed her sentiments.

Having endured countless humiliations in his daily life, Liu Yu was already used to it. He was merely surviving for the sake of his family, and now this predicament was all caused by his constant avoidance of responsibility.

so......

Liu Yu gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, then put his daughter on the ground and took out a hand grenade from his pocket. He had bought it for two crystals to use for self-defense.

At this point, it would be better to just die and take everyone in the house down with him.

"What...what are you doing? Let me tell you, don't do anything reckless. This is against the rules. Don't you want to know about your wife? And your mother? Don't you care about any of that?" Jiang Hong was startled and retreated with the others towards the back door further inside.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's wife, Su Wan, blocked the back door, holding the same hand grenade as Liu Yu.

"I care, I care a lot. I think they'll understand me. You've all forced me into this." Liu Yu was ready to go all out, prepared to fight these people with his wife. Rather than a fight to the death, it was better to be direct.

"You're crazy, you're both crazy, no, absolutely not, you can't do this."

“She killed your daughter. It has nothing to do with us. You can’t implicate us in any crime.”

......

The rising and falling voices of opposition could no longer stir the slightest ripple in Liu Yu's heart. He exchanged a desperate glance with his wife for a second, and then the two of them almost simultaneously pulled out the grenade sheaths and threw them onto the ground and into the crowd.

As the grenade was about to hit the ground, Liu Yu once again believed the Taoist priest's words; he probably wouldn't make it through the night.

Amidst screams from the crowd and the sound of a signal flare rising into the air from Jiang Hong's hand, the grenade fell to the ground but did not explode. Instead, a naked little man popped out of it, staring at Liu Yu with his big eyes and sticking his tongue out.

It's a fake grenade!

"Hahahaha, this is hilarious! You're trying to talk to us about dying together with this? It's utterly ridiculous. Come on, restrain him and Su Wan, let's settle this score." Jiang Hong was stunned by the scene before her. She had considered the worst possible outcome, but she never expected that even heaven was on her side.

He let Liu Yu take a fake grenade.

"How could this be? I spent two crystals to buy it, this is absolutely impossible, you... you switched my things, you did it all." Liu Yu pointed at Jiang Hong, his chest bursting with overwhelming hatred.

"So what if it is? I only said a few polite words, and your silly daughter told us everything. I never thought that you and your wife, who pride yourselves on being highly educated, would be so stupid as to tell such things to a seven-year-old girl."

"So you killed her? How could you be so heartless?"

"Human life is as worthless as grass. If you kill someone, you kill them. Do you need any reason?" Jiang Hong said indifferently.

The signal flare was fired, and Xiao Zhouzhang returned quickly. Not wanting to deal with the two any longer, she ordered her people to handle the matter directly, so as not to annoy Xiao Zhouzhang and ruin their time together.

As soon as the order was given, applause rang out outside, from Zhang Yang and the other two.

"Well, well, we three outsiders have certainly seen a good show. It turns out that people in high positions can take lives at will, trample on the dignity of others, and get rid of two architects without a word. How ridiculous and ignorant."

Liu Yu had already given up hope, convinced that he would not survive the night and that he would drag his wife down with him.

Therefore, when he saw the Taoist priest come to save him in person, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

His trembling voice echoed throughout the hall, "Taoist Master, you've arrived."

Su Wan looked at her wrist, which her husband was holding tightly, and followed his gaze to see three mysterious figures wrapped in packages. Although she didn't quite understand, she trusted her husband.

The two held each other tightly, both looking at Zhang Yang.

"Who do you think you are, daring to cause trouble here? Men, throw these three people out!" Jiang Hong ordered angrily, her voice devoid of emotion.

Immediately, people came over and surrounded the three men with guns and knives.

"Hehe!" Duan Yu sneered, and with a high kick, he swept away the weapons of the four people around him. Jiang Yan followed closely behind, sweeping away the weapons of the other three people. In just ten seconds, all seven people were lying on the ground.

Because their wrists were broken by the two men.

The replacement guards dared not move, fearing they might also suffer the same fate.
