Chapter 169: Lust is the key, you deserve to die
"Ji Heng, go upstairs."
Hearing this, Ji Heng curled up a barely perceptible smile and went upstairs obediently, very well behaved.
"Zhang Yuemei..." Princess Jiayang gritted her teeth, displeasure flashing in her eyes. "You're just an actor, and you really want to compete with me for it? You're not even willing to offend me?"
Zhang Yuemei smiled coldly and said nonchalantly, "In the princess's mind, actors are just playthings for entertainment, but to me, it's very different. As long as the chosen one has eyes, he will know whose side to stand on."
"You're amazing." Princess Jiayang snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Zhang Yuemei, we'll see!"
After entering the private room, Ji Heng gently put down the guqin in his hand, turned around and looked at the woman who came in with him, concealing the annoyance in his eyes, and pretended to be well-behaved and said, "Ji Heng thanks Miss Zhang for your help."
Zhang Yuemei stared at him for a long moment, her face calm and composed, not like she was fascinated by him at all. "Just stay here and don't be afraid of Princess Jiayang. She can't touch you."
Ji Heng lowered his head, looking embarrassed. "Thanks to Miss Zhang, Ji Heng was able to escape death. I wonder what kind of music Miss Zhang likes to listen to. Ji Heng is willing to play it for her alone."
Zhang Yuemei looked at him strangely and said coldly, "No need. Just rest here and someone will come to find you later."
After saying this, Zhang Yuemei turned around and left without any reluctance.
She looked down upon the young actor who only knew how to play the piano and sing.
"Hey... Miss Zhang..." Ji Heng looked at the closed door in front of him, his face extremely bad. He threw the guqin beside him to the ground. "After so many days, there is still no progress. What on earth does this old woman believe in?"
"Help!"
A slight cry for help came from the window. Ji Heng's body stiffened. He slowly walked to the window, pushed it open, and leaned out to look out.
Behind Wanhuafang is a lake view, with small lotus-shaped lights often floating on the lake. Although it is night, the scenery by the lake can still be seen clearly.
There were two figures chasing each other on the shore. The person running in front looked like a girl, and she looked quite familiar.
“Help—”
Hearing this voice again, Ji Heng's face changed slightly and he murmured, "Su Cheng?"
Not far away at the lake, Su Cheng didn't dare to stop for a moment. Holding the hem of her skirt, she ran forward desperately, shouting, "Help!"
But it was late at night and there were not many people on the street. Only Wanhuafang was still open, but the music inside was so melodious that no one could hear her even if she screamed for help with all her might.
Ji Heng didn't think about anything else, just tapped his toes and flew out of Wanhuafang.
"Help..." A figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then rushed behind him. Perhaps because he was too frightened, his body could not stop shaking. "Ji Heng... help me."
Ji Heng stood in front of her, his crimson robe covering the girl behind him tightly. Seeing her panic, Ji Heng's lips curled slightly and said slowly, "Young lady seems to always put herself in danger."
Su Cheng's face turned pale, obviously frightened. Her small hands clung tightly to his arms, her voice trembling, "It's already this time, can you please stop making sarcastic remarks?"
Ji Heng lowered his head and chuckled, as if he had no way to deal with her. He took out a dagger from his wide sleeve and fixed his eyes on the killer opposite him, his eyes full of interest. "Whose dog are you? How dare you come to take her life? Have you asked me?"
The man opposite had a black scarf covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. When he looked at Ji Heng, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison. "You are quite arrogant."
Ji Heng curled his lips and said lazily, "If you have any tricks, just use them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opposite him moved instantly, stabbing towards Ji Heng with the long sword in his hand. The latter wanted to dodge, but there was a frightened young lady behind him, so it was inconvenient for him to move, and his reaction was a few points slower than usual.
Barely dodging the long sword, Ji Heng reached out and held Su Cheng in his arms, then retreated.
The dagger in his hand was naturally no match for the long sword. If he acted rashly, he would only die. He could only retreat with Su Cheng and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
But the man's moves were getting more and more ferocious, and almost every one of them was fatal. If you weren't careful, you might die.
Ji Heng did not dare to relax at all. He used his dagger to block the man's killing move, and did not forget to tease the girl in his arms, "Miss, how did you provoke him?"
Su Cheng stared at the man opposite him, his face pale. "Stop talking nonsense. Can you beat him?"
Ji Heng curled his lips and sneered, whispering in her ear, "Miss, you should learn to trust me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Heng gripped the dagger tightly and was about to attack when someone stabbed him in the heart.
Ji Heng's body froze, and he even maintained the posture of attacking. He lowered his head in a daze, looking at the person in his arms in disbelief.
Su Cheng produced a knife from nowhere and stabbed it straight into his chest. When Ji Heng lowered his head to look at her, Su Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, looking harmless. "It's a pity, you should learn not to trust me."
The man opposite pulled off the black scarf on his face, revealing a stern face. He knocked the knife out of Ji Heng's hand with a sword, and a hint of sarcasm filled his eyes. "You are so lustful, you deserve to die."
My second brother told me that this bitch in front of me often pesters Ah Cheng.
Xie Ming gently wiped the blade of the sword, a cold smile on his lips, "They say domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. Today, I will bury you, a wild flower."
"Su Cheng..." Ji Heng took two steps back, his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. He prided himself on being smart, but he never thought he would be defeated by a woman. "How dare you plot against me..."
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes teasing, "All's fair in war. You've brought this situation upon yourself."
A trickle of blood foamed from the corner of Ji Heng's lips, and blood blossomed into red flowers on his chest. His vision went dark and he could no longer see the woman's appearance. "You..."
Before he could finish his words, Ji Heng's body went limp and he fell into a pool of blood.
After he was completely dead, Su Cheng walked over to him, rolled up his sleeves, and saw the flame totem on his wrist. His brows furrowed slightly, "It really is the same totem as the killer's. It belongs to the Northwest Royal Family."
Xie Ming walked slowly towards her and said in a low voice, "What should we do with him?"
"Just bury him." Su Cheng lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Ji Heng, and he memorized his appearance in his heart. "When I get home, I will draw his appearance and send it to the princess for identification. His helpers are now missing. If they can't contact Ji Heng, they will naturally look for me."
Su Cheng glanced sideways towards Wanhuafang in the east, his eyes becoming deeper. "I have a feeling that Ji Heng's helpers are also hiding in Wanhuafang."

Xie family
"Doctor, I'll go get some things for the house. You're injured, why are you still bothering me?"
An Zhicheng followed in small steps, constantly persuading the man beside him.
Xie Suzhou's shoulder injury hadn't healed yet, and his face was still pale. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and smiled, "I can't sit still, and I always have bad premonitions in my heart from time to time. It's good to go out for a walk."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the gate, Changpu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came to greet them, "Thank you, Doctor. My wife wants to see you."
