Chapter 176 The Heavenly Snow Lotus Aims for Immortality (6)
Que Hanri looked at her, wondering how she could say those words with such an innocent look, "Aren't you afraid he'll die?"
Zhang Xuelian's lips curved into a smile. "He won't die so easily." Her words were full of trust in Que Heyu. How could a chosen one of destiny die so easily? He didn't even die in a plane crash, let alone a car accident.
But to Que Hanri, this meant that she didn't want him to die.
If she didn't want him to die, why did she do this? He truly couldn't understand her thought process.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you." He wanted to pass the buck and also see what she was capable of.
However, Zhang Xuelian refused.
"Have you ever seen a villain do things personally? Small tasks can be handled by his subordinates. I don't have time to do them myself," he said bluntly.
She went to him just to save herself the trouble, didn't she? If she had to do everything, why did she even bother with him? Just for these clothes and jewelry?
Zhang Xuelian wasn't stupid; she knew how much she had helped him earn. Did he really think she could only choose him? A dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.
If I can't deal with Que and Yu, I can still deal with him.
Que Hanri sensed the dangerous aura and his heart tightened, but he didn't show it on his face. "Alright, alright, I'll have someone take care of it. As for you, just stay here."
However, when he turned around, his brows furrowed. Having a time bomb next to him was ultimately not very safe.
However, considering that Que and Yu were even less safe than himself, he felt that it wasn't entirely unacceptable.
In the end, the matter was handed over to Que Hanri's men. Although tampering with his car would be difficult, it wasn't impossible.
Unfortunately, the car accident didn't happen this time, and Que and Yu didn't even get into the car, which made a look of disappointment flash in their eyes.
"You're right, he's not that easy to kill." He managed to escape even that. Que Hanri said bitterly. He didn't know how his older brother could be so lucky, seemingly unable to die no matter what.
Hearing that the car was due for inspection and had been sent for testing, he knew the tampering with the brakes would be discovered. But what good would it do if they found out? Without evidence, he was powerless.
At this moment, Que Heyu had indeed heard that the car had been tampered with, and a chill ran down his spine. In the past, he would have suspected many people, but now his focus was only on one person: Zhang Xuelian.
Normally, no one would act rashly after a plane crash, which is unlike his understanding of his uncles, aunts, and younger brother.
If anyone could be it, it could only be her; she's like a persistent ghost.
[Dislike value +10000]
The moment the murderous intent flashed in his eyes, Zhang Xuelian sensed it and appeared directly on the desk not far from him, sitting on it with her legs dangling down, swinging back and forth. "Aren't you happy to see me? Aren't you surprised?"
Those who didn't know her would think she was a naive and adorable young girl, but those who did knew her looked at her with the same coldness as Que and Yu.
Judging from his aura, he looks more like a female ghost than she does now.
It was so easy for her to enter and leave Yuxuan Courtyard. She just needed to retrieve the puppet, return to her main consciousness, and then exchange for a new puppet, which she could then locate in his room.
In any case, the entire Que Mansion was like her own private domain.
Que Heyu wasn't in a hurry to call for a fight this time. Hearing her ask if her clothes looked good and if she was pretty today, he stared at her coldly, then suddenly curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Utterly ugly."
Even the most beautiful clothes would be a waste on her.
In that instant, Zhang Xuelian's good mood vanished. "You don't think that just because I can't kill you, I can't torture you, do you?" She looked at him with a cold gaze.
He was right; she couldn't kill him, but she could torture him.
The next second, she appeared beside him and attacked him fiercely. This time, she showed no mercy and her moves were ruthless.
Que Heyu was also very skilled, even better than her. After all, she rarely fought before and mostly used magic. Now she was just relying on the hardness of her body to withstand the attack.
Even so, how could an ordinary person possibly defeat a tireless stone golem?
Before long, Que and Yu lost.
Zhang Xuelian watched him collapse and kneel on the ground, then pinched his chin, her fingers tracing his bruised lip. She smiled insincerely, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, remember this feeling. Don't make me angry again next time." She increased the pressure in her hand, and Que Heyu felt his lip hurt even more, but he didn't utter a sound. His brows were tightly furrowed, letting everyone know that he wasn't made of iron.
Zhang Xuelian looked at him and truly hated his appearance.
He always spoke coldly and threatened to kill her. Aside from burning his goods and tampering with his car, she didn't do anything to him at first.
Why should I hate her? Just because she's an outcast?
Seeing that even though she was still angry, Que Heyu didn't kill him in the end, something occurred to him, and his suspicions became even clearer.
After watching her leave, he smirked and laughed, showing no sign of defeat despite his disheveled appearance.
"Let's bet on who values their life more."
He wanted to see how much energy she had left, whether it was inexhaustible. His gaze fell on the dagger on the table, his eyes filled with a desperate gamble.
Come on, let's see if his guess is right.
Soon, Zhang Xuelian sensed that familiar sense of crisis had returned. Above her head, thunder rumbled, as if the heavens were raging, and its target was directly in the direction of Yuxuan Courtyard.
She immediately returned to her main consciousness and discovered the injuries on Que and Yu's bodies. She immediately understood what was going on, "Madman." She never expected that he would dare to risk his life to verify her suspicions.
If she hadn't come, he would have died, and she would have died too. The dagger pierced his heart, even twisting around in the process, leaving him no way out.
Zhang Xuelian stared at him with resentment, wishing she could tear him apart. However, she could only save him by expending her emotional points to save her own life. This rescue cost her 200,000 emotional points.
Que and Yu opened their eyes and saw her, knowing they had made the right bet. This person who had been entangled with them since leaving the snow mountain was under some kind of restriction, and they could only use her to avoid the heavenly lightning.
If he dies, she will die too.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I thought you were so capable, but it turns out you're just a stray dog." He had already figured out a way to get rid of her, which was to use suicide to deplete the strange energy in her body, so that she would never appear again.
Zhang Xuelian naturally thought of this as well, which made her even more furious. Sure enough, those chosen by fate are no pushovers.
This feeling of having your lifeline controlled is truly awful.
"Do you think you can threaten me? Don't worry, you'll forget about this soon." Zhang Xuelian used another 40,000 emotional points to erase everything that happened today, including his suicide attempt.
An ordinary person only needs 20,000 to erase their memories, but he needs 40,000. Zhang Xuelian looked at the tens of thousands of emotional points she had saved up, and now she only had 200,000 left. She couldn't smile at the person in front of her.
Yet, she couldn't do anything about him. He was like a master strategist; the more she appeared around him, the more flaws he could find. After a few more times, her emotional reserves would truly be depleted.
So, despite her reluctance, she glanced at him and left.
When Que and Yu woke up, they found themselves asleep. They had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but after glancing at the surveillance footage and asking their subordinates again, they found that there was no problem and then they stopped being suspicious.
At this moment, Zhang Xuelian was relieved that she had altered some people's memories, but when she saw her emotional value disappear in a flash, leaving only 100,000, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
"Que Heyu." There was resentment, anger, and even a hint of murderous intent in his voice.
In Chenxuan Courtyard, Que Hanri was startled when he heard her voice and saw her cold and somewhat manic eyes. "Who made our Miss Zhang unhappy?" he wondered. In his heart, he thought, "How did such a pretty young girl turn into a curse when she met my older brother?"
Look at this, it's so scary it could give you nightmares.
Zhang Xuelian's gaze fell on him. "When are you going to get rid of him?" she asked. Then she added, "Forget it, how long would I have to wait? Tell me where his forces are located, and I'll handle it myself." She couldn't hold back her anger; she was truly miserable.
Que Hanri, not wanting to miss the excitement, gave her all the information she wanted. The Que family was large and influential, involved in various industries, and Que Heyu, as the eldest son, naturally had more to his name, not to mention he also had a powerful maternal family.
"He was mostly in charge of shopping malls, pharmaceutical companies, and overseas cargo transportation, while I was more responsible for the entertainment industry." Such as nightclubs, casinos, and entertainment industry performances, which shows that their focuses were different.
Some of the rumors surrounding Que Hanri were also intended to promote those female celebrities. These days, it's not the criticism that's scary, it's the lack of criticism. Popularity is what drives a market.
