He You had changed into a night outfit without anyone noticing.

His handsome, aloof face was covered by a black silk cloth, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes that stared directly at the slowly moving carriage on the road.

A hint of despair occasionally flashed in his cold eyes, but it vanished instantly.

As darkness gradually fell, He You waited for his opportunity to strike.

He slowly stood up, his inner strength rapidly gathering in his dantian, and like a gust of wind, he silently entered the carriage carrying Li Baobei.

Inside the carriage, Li Baobei lay quietly, lifeless.

He felt his heart clench sharply, followed by a violent, sudden pain.

In that instant, he seemed to truly hear the sound of his own heart breaking. The pain in his chest gradually intensified, spreading throughout his body and penetrating deep into his bones, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

He quickly went up and took her hand; it was still warm.

It's not too late, everything is still possible...

Bang!!!

The wooden planks at the back of the carriage were smashed open, and He You, holding the person in his arms tightly, rushed out and disappeared into the night.

"Oh no! Oh no! Miss has been stolen!"

The coachman screamed wildly. It all seemed to happen in the blink of an eye, and he found it unbelievable. At that moment, the carriage was empty.

The sound of the wooden planks breaking startled Li Hong, who was sitting in the carriage in front.

Upon hearing the sound, he quickly let go of Wang Donghui's hand and rushed out.

He arrived at Li Baobei's carriage in disbelief, only to find the back of the carriage empty and the person inside nowhere to be seen.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Hong felt his head throb and his whole body go weak. He took a few steps back, and a tear fell heavily from his eye to the ground.

"Go after her! You must bring Nannan back to me!"

His tone was filled with heart-wrenching pain, and in an instant, Li Hong looked like a frail old man, as if he would collapse at any moment.

He could no longer bear the pain that followed him today; he closed his eyes and collapsed.

The two guards beside the carriage hurriedly chased after the figure that had disappeared.

The coachman was so surprised he couldn't speak. Seeing Li Hong about to fall, he quickly stepped forward to support him and lifted him onto the carriage.

The carriage sped along the cobblestone road, rushing towards the Prime Minister's residence, leaving only the clatter of hooves behind...

"Nannan, don't be afraid, we'll be home soon." He You, carrying the gradually cooling Li Baobei, rushed towards the mansion like a ghost.

Anji waited for He You in the courtyard for quite a while, while Zhonglihe also stood anxiously in the courtyard waiting for someone, thinking to himself, "Hopefully, it's not too late..."

Finally, they saw a figure jumping down from the roof. He You said calmly, "Save people."

! ……

Zhong Lihe hurriedly followed, looking flustered. He You gently placed the person in his arms on the bed, his eyes never leaving her.

Zhong Lihe stepped forward, quickly took his pulse, and his expression gradually became serious.

The person has no pulse; even a miracle couldn't save them.

He stiffly put Li Baobei's hand back, glanced at He You with a dim look in his eyes, and couldn't say a word.

He was afraid that if he said it, the person standing next to him would go crazy; he knew He You too well.

He You's eyes seemed to hold a hint of pleading; he only hoped to hear news that his Nan Nan could still be saved.

Zhong Lihe knew there was no hope left, and with difficulty uttered a few words: "It's too late... You... try to be more open-minded."

He You's pupils constricted, her eyes filled with despair as she looked at Zhong Lihe, her voice trembling: "She's still warm, think of something else~"

After saying that, he quickly walked to the bedside, a desperate smile on his face, his face pale, and he eagerly took Li Baobei's hand, which still had a trace of warmth left.

He forced a laugh, then looked at Zhong Lihe with despair, continuing in a hoarse voice: "Look again, she's still warm, there must still be a way~ Zhong Lihe, look again..." His voice carried a barely audible wail.

Looking at He You's appearance, Zhong Lihe felt powerless, but he really had no other choice.

He You's current state made Zhong Lihe feel unfamiliar; the ruthless and decisive Yama of the past had vanished.

He decided he couldn't let any worries turn out like this.

He said resolutely, "What's the worry? Wake up! The dead cannot be brought back to life. The Third Miss is dead. She is really dead."

"No!!!" He You's voice was torn apart. "No one can take her away from me. She must still be alive, she must be."

Suddenly, he felt a metallic sweetness in his mouth, the taste gradually spreading and intensifying until he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the person lying on the bed red.

Zhong Lihe was startled and quickly stepped forward to help He You, but He You coldly shook his hand away.

Blood trickled slowly from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if blood was about to flow from the corners of his eyes.

He You held Li Baobei's hand tightly and whispered in her ear, "Nannan, I will always be with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, another mouthful of blood gushed from He You's mouth, dripping onto the acacia bracelet on Li Baobei's wrist. The bracelet emitted a faint light, unnoticed by anyone.

Zhong Lihe struck He You unconscious with a knife. Zhan Nu rushed in upon hearing the commotion and was horrified to see the blood-stained blankets.

Zhong Lihe said in a calm tone, "Take him back to his room."

The slave remained silent and led He You away.

Seeing that the room had quieted down, Zhong Lihe walked heavily toward Li Baobei, took out a crystal bead from his hand and slowly put it into her mouth, saying in a calm tone: "Third Miss, this bead can help your body not decay. May you know this in the afterlife and bless Heyou to get through this predicament."
