Even the most impulsive Ye Xi hesitated at this moment: "When I said I would just kill him, you all said I was heartless and insisted that I shouldn't do it this way. But this method is no different from killing him, is it?"
Ye Nan and Ye Bei echoed, "Yes, bloodletting is too risky a treatment method."
The Ye brothers' thinking was actually very simple: they could die, but they couldn't die at their hands, since no one could bear the consequences.
Huo Mingchen glanced at them and asked, "So what do you think we should do?"
"Just pretend you don't know."
These were Ye Xi's words, his expression unusually cold: "According to your previous plan, we should do what we're supposed to do." If that doesn't work, then of course we'll kill.
Of course, that's a story for later; he didn't say it.
Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan couldn't help but say, "These drug-infected people are terrifying. They are controllable in the early stages, but later they will completely turn into walking corpses that bite anyone they see. Everyone who is injured will soon be assimilated. We must eliminate the root cause while we can still treat them to prevent future troubles."
She would never get involved in such things under normal circumstances, because protecting herself and avoiding trouble is always the most important thing.
But since it's still in the early stages, she felt it was best to nip it in the bud.
"You seem to know a lot?" Ye Xi looked at her with an impatient look in his eyes: "Since you know so much, why don't you go and do the bloodletting? If you can't, then shut up. I hate people like you who talk without understanding the situation."
Huo Mingchen looked at her coldly: "Ye Xi, I hope you don't continue to act like a dog!"
"Huo Mingchen, that's enough!" Ye Xi's temper flared up, and she looked at Huo Mingchen no longer holding back: "I don't owe you anything, why should I always listen to you and do whatever you say? Do you think I can't agree even if you tell me to die?"
Huo Mingchen's face immediately turned cold.
Upon seeing this, Ye Dong quickly scolded, "Shut up!"
"Fine, fine, I said I'm not going to get involved anymore. Don't come to me with anything in the future." Ye Xi turned and left.
Ye Dong cupped his hands in apology: "Brother Huo, I'm truly sorry, my second brother is too impulsive." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, I think your method is feasible. Why don't we get started?"
"good."
Huo Mingchen pulled Cheng Shanshan away.
This was originally just a minor incident, but unexpectedly, something bad happened the next day.
A crowd gathered at the entrance of the Dong residence, blocking the gate and shouting, "Give me back my father! Give me back my father!"
"Damn it, I trusted you, but you tried to kill them! You're utterly heartless!" As he finished speaking, the other party threw all the rotten eggs he had prepared inside: "You dog surnamed Huo, get out here right now!"
"Open the door! Open the door!"
He was previously hailed as a hero and regarded as the backbone of the nation.
Now he's become a pariah in everyone's eyes; it just goes to show how quickly people's hearts can change.
Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan, who was not far away, did not approach. Instead, she turned around and quietly slipped in through the back door. When she arrived, Liu Liu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan: "What to do? What to do? What to do?"
When she saw Cheng Shanshan, tears welled up in her eyes: "Sister, you've finally arrived! Brother Huo and my eldest brother have gone to bleed the medicine patients, but we don't know if they'll succeed. And now the people outside are making a scene. What are we going to do?" She looked outside in fear before continuing, "It looks like they're going to break in, waah!"
"Don't be afraid."
Cheng Shanshan offered some simple words of comfort.
Then, without having time to speak to her again, he turned to the guards at the gate and said, "You don't need to hold them up like this anymore. Just open the gate."
"Open the door?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
I never expected Cheng Shanshan to make this suggestion.
Liu Liu couldn't believe it: "Sister, those people outside have gone mad! We can't let them in!"
Cheng Shanshan retorted, "Do you think these few people can hold out?"
As if to confirm this statement, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Then the seven or eight servants were pushed to the ground, and the others surged in like a tide. They were all carrying weapons and looking around, asking, "Where is that damned Huo?"
Cheng Shanshan glanced at everyone before coldly saying, "If I remember correctly, you all thought he was a great benefactor who helped you get rid of Magistrate Dong and saved your families."
They were all lined up neatly.
Everyone looked at Cheng Shanshan.
One of the younger men recognized her: "Aren't you the girl who had an ambiguous relationship with the eldest son of the Ye family? How come you're also having an affair with that guy surnamed Huo?"
"Smack!"
A crisp sound rang out.
Cheng Shanshan raised her hand and slapped him: "Watch your mouth."
"How dare you hit me! I'll beat you to death today, or I'm not a Liu!" The man, enraged, charged forward, brandishing his weapon.
Cheng Shanshan neither dodged nor closed her eyes. She dodged his attack and then immediately delivered a downward palm strike. As he groaned on the ground, she didn't forget to add a kick.
"Ouch! You little brat, you really went all out!" The other person clutched their stomach and rolled on the ground, looking extremely pained.
Cheng Shanshan didn't bother arguing with him and directly ordered the stunned servants behind her, "Arrest this troublemaker!"
"yes!"
These servants had all received favors from Huo Mingchen, and they obeyed Cheng Shanshan's every word.
This tactic of making an example of someone to scare others worked well. The group that had been shouting just moments before looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment of silence, Cheng Shanshan finally spoke up: "Why did you come here to cause trouble? Was it because of someone's instigation?"
"It doesn't matter who it is, we're not trying to cause trouble, we just want to see our families!"
Cheng Shanshan narrowed her eyes slightly: "So what if you saw it?"
"What else can we do? If we see them, we'll take them home!"
"No matter what they become, we will never abandon them!"
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
Faced with these words from everyone, Cheng Shanshan found it all the more ridiculous than ever before: "It's really touching. Since you're not afraid of death, then head east and you'll see the people you want to see." As she spoke, she even thoughtfully pointed in a direction.
But seeing her so readily agree, those people became suspicious: "You... what are you up to, girl?"
"Instead of asking me what I want to do, you should ask me why you're trying to stop the rescue." Cheng Shanshan's words were extremely cold, her voice deliberate yet authoritative: "Or tell me, who sent you to cause trouble!"
