Chapter 447 Extra - Ye Qingning Takes Her Position

Mi chuckled softly, ripped off his cloak and voice changer, and his familiar face appeared before Ye Qingning.

"You're not entirely stupid, but unfortunately, I'm the butcher and you're the fish on the chopping block right now!"

"Are you Xiao Cui's half-sister?"

"Yes." Yumi gave her a little more time to speak: "I'm puzzled, how did you guess I'm Yumi from just a few words?"

“You have a small scar on your right wrist, it’s from a burn you got when you were little…” Ye Qingning looked at her.

Yumi narrowed her eyes: "When did I tell you that?"

"At the celebration banquet for 'Flying Time,' you got drunk, and that's what you said when I took you home..."

Yumi was stunned for a moment.

That night, many people tried to get her to drink, but Ye Qingning helped her fend off some of them and sent her back to her room early.

"So what!"

Mi's voice returned to its cold tone: "The little favors you've given me are not enough to make me give up my revenge! If it weren't for my sister giving me money, I would never have had the chance to go to school! She died unjustly, and I must help her get justice."

Is this how you seek justice?

"Yes! In this dog-eat-dog world, we must fight violence with violence!"

Mi raised her chin slightly: "Since you're insignificant now, with her here, no one will find out you're dead!"

"Do you really think so? She might look exactly like me, but do you think Ayan wouldn't notice?"

"If he had known, these photos wouldn't exist!"

"Yumi." Ye Qingning smiled, her tone calm. "If I'm not mistaken, Ayan should already be looking for me, right?"

Why do you say that?

"Because you came back, and you even planned to inject me with poison..."

Ye Qingning's tone was calm and clear: "This shows that what you gave me to drink before was not a slow-acting poison, otherwise you would have had no reason to go to such lengths."

Yumi suddenly became interested: "Continue."

"You or she must have discovered that Ayan was looking for me, which is why you rushed over to inject me with poison."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mi's eyes, followed by a cold laugh: "So what if you're smart? Your death is just around the corner."

"Yumi!"

Ye Qingning loudly advised, "At least until you inject me with real poison, you still have a future. Think carefully, is it worth it?"

Yumi paused for a moment, her mind flashing back to memories of her school days, the way Xiaocui talked to her...

"I don't know if it's night or day now, but think about the feeling of walking in the sunlight, those days of striving for life and ideals, don't you yearn for it?"

Tears began to well up in Mi's eyes. It has to be said that Ye Qingning was absolutely right.

But her younger sister never had that opportunity again.

"You underestimate Ayan. He'll definitely realize that person isn't me and will come looking for me. Then none of you will escape! Why bother?"

Ye Qingning gently persuaded, "You're still young, you have plenty of time ahead of you, Youmi, let go!"

At that moment, a noise came from the stairs. Mi pulled Ye Qingning over and pressed the needle tip against the artery in her throat.

The first thing that came into view was a pair of muddy feet and trouser legs, indicating that they had come in a hurry.

Then came a handsome face, tinged with anxiety and anticipation.

“Ayan…”

Ye Qingning knew he would come.

Upon seeing that the person being held hostage by Mi in the dimly lit cellar was the one he had been longing for day and night, Lin Feiyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Yumi sneered, "I didn't expect you to find me so quickly."

"If anything happens to Qingqing, you should know what the consequences will be!"

Lin Feiyan coldly looked at You Mi: "Xiao Cui was bribed by Lin Younan to continuously give Qingqing slow-acting poison. This is an indisputable fact. She committed suicide out of fear of punishment, not because I forced her!"

"Impossible, that's not what Shen Lanxiao said."

“Shen Lanxiao wants to use you, so naturally she won’t tell the truth.” I have her entire plan saved in her notes.

Lin Feiyan unfolded a piece of paper: "You can see for yourself!"

He took a step forward, and Shen Lanxiao's needle tip cut Ye Qingning's neck: "Don't move!"

Lin Feiyan stood still, crumpled the paper in his hand, and threw it at Youmi's feet: "See for yourself."

The moment she lowered her head, Chen Shi, who suddenly appeared behind Lin Feiyan, threw a pebble that hit Youmi squarely on the forehead.

Mi leaned back in pain, and Chen Shi leaped over the fence and pinned her shoulder down.

The syringe in her hand fell to the ground.

Ye Qingning felt extremely weak and was about to fall to the side.

Lin Feiyan quickly knelt down and helped her up: "Qingqing."

A familiar face came into view, but Ye Qingning suddenly felt extremely dizzy. An ominous premonition quickly spread through her. She held her eyelids open and said, "Ayan..."

"I'm here." Lin Feiyan picked her up. "I'll take you home."

A dim, yellowish halo swayed overhead, and the scene in Ye Qingning's vision seemed to suddenly change.

The place was covered in white silk, and she, dressed in white and looking emaciated, knelt on the ground, with servants trying to persuade her.

"Your Majesty, the disgraced minister Lin Feiyan is already dead. You have rendered meritorious service in assisting His Highness the Crown Prince in eliminating traitors, and your future glory goes without saying. You have no need to feel so guilty."

Tears streamed down her face as she murmured, "He's not a criminal..."

A maid dressed in ancient costume came running over: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..."

The familiar face in Ye Qingning's vision finally began to blur: "Ayan..."

"I'm here." This time, Ye Qingning didn't hear Lin Feiyan's reply; she completely fainted.

In a certain apartment in Qing City, Xiao Miao, who was sleeping in bed, was suddenly awakened and heard a long-lost voice in her ear.

"System task generated, female supporting character Ye Qingning in position. Background: Fictional Wu Dynasty. Task: Restore the main storyline and make the male and female leads fall in love. Reward: Freedom granted upon completion of the task. Please assist administrator Miao Xi in completing this task."

Xiao Miao frowned: "Wasn't the mission already over?"

The system dispatcher's cold, mechanical voice said: "Because the key female supporting character Ye Qingning has escaped, the main plot has fallen into chaos, and it is imperative that Ye Qingning herself resolve this issue."

Xiao Miao asked, "What if Ye Qingning doesn't cooperate?"

System: "Then her consciousness will be trapped in the plot forever. Administrator Miao Xi has privately used her power to help the female supporting character Ye Qingning escape the plot. If she cannot complete the mission, she will be forced into hibernation."

Xiao Miao: "How can I help?"

System: "Task instructions will be issued shortly." With a ding, Xiao Miao received a task instructions.

Meanwhile, in the town, Yumi had been handed over to the local police, while Chen Chu remained to assist with the investigation.

Chen Shi, Chen Tang, and Lin Feiyan, who was carrying Ye Qingning, boarded the helicopter and returned to Qing City.
