Qingluan was quickly taken to a resting room by Gu Momo's people.
The moment the door to the room was closed from the outside, a sharp glint flashed in Qingluan's tear-filled eyes.
She quickly got up, and with her light body, she leaped lightly out of the window, her movements as swift as a cat in the night.
Taking advantage of the deep darkness, she jumped directly from the roof to Fu Jinyan's window, then flipped over and jumped inside.
"Who?!" Fu Jinyan's icy voice rang out from the darkness, but unexpectedly, Qingluan's furious roar followed:
"Fu Jinyan! You promised me that as long as I could find a way to get the blood jade ring from Momo, you wouldn't hurt Momo or the people around her! But why do you still want me to kill Mei Lanzhu Ju to gain merit?"
She really didn't want to harm them, but they all lost their lives because of her!
The room lights were turned on, and Fu Jinyan lay lazily on the bed, a charming smile on her face.
She slowly rose to her feet with a cold laugh, looking down at Qingluan from her superior position:
"What right do you have to negotiate with me now? I have leverage over you. If you don't behave, I'll expose your identity! Tell me, if Gu Momo finds out that her best friend of childhood has betrayed her, will she still consider you a good friend? Hmm?"
Qingluan's tears welled up in her eyes: "Fu Jinyan, you are so despicable!"
"Ha!" Fu Jinyan exclaimed as if she had heard the funniest joke. "If I weren't despicable, would I still be called Fu Jinyan?!"
Her eyes suddenly turned fierce: "So, Qingluan, you'd better behave yourself. I've already said, all I want is the blood jade ring in Gu Momo's hands. As long as you behave yourself, I won't hurt anyone else around Gu Momo."
Not harming others? Qingluan felt like a joke, her heart filled with sorrow!
Since being captured and taken to the Emperor-Killing Alliance, she has never lived a single day for herself.
When she finally had a chance to escape the control of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, the Alliance demanded that she complete the task assigned to her before they would release her!
She used to think that being unable to escape was the real pain, but now she realizes that the freedom she desires is stained with blood and cruelty!
Qingluan lowered her head, feeling very distressed but unable to say anything.
Just then, the door to the room suddenly opened, and four handsome figures appeared in front of Fu Jinyan.
The four women were slender and upright, their faces veiled by light gauze, obscuring their true features, but their resolute personalities were evident in their eyes:
"Reporting to the young lady, we have completed the cleanup work for the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums! We have confirmed that they are all dead!"
"Very good!" Fu Jinyan raised her eyebrows charmingly, her beautiful eyes filled with pride and smugness.
"Spring Moon, Summer Moon, Autumn Moon, Winter Moon, you truly are my capable assistants! Your next task is to find Gu Wanrou and eliminate her by any means necessary! I will handle Gu Momo, so you don't need to worry about her!"
"Thank you, Miss!" Chun Yue's eyes were filled with a deep smile. "We've found Gu Wanrou's whereabouts. It seems that Gu Momo has realized Gu Wanrou's importance and deliberately arranged for Gu Wanrou to stay in a secret room in the Fu family courtyard, where no one but her knows about it."
"What?! Gu Wanrou is actually in the Fu family?!" Fu Jinyan's exquisite eyes flashed with deep hatred, followed by undisguised ecstatic joy. "Gu Momo dares to let Gu Wanrou stay in the Fu family, she's courting death! Someone, call Ye Xiuluo!"
"Yes, Miss!" Chun Yue's eyes held a profound and unfathomable smile, but unfortunately, the smile was hidden in the darkness and was not genuine.
Listening to Fu Jinyan's conversation with the four sisters, Qingluan felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Can she and Momo go back to how they used to be?!
...
In a secluded courtyard of the Fu family.
Gu Momo lay on the bed with her legs crossed, glancing at her watch. The other person should be arriving soon, right?
Suddenly, Li Zhanting seemed to sense something and made a shushing gesture to Gu Momo with his finger.
Gu Momo tensed up immediately, not daring to even breathe.
Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from the courtyard. Although the sound was faint, Gu Momo and Li Zhanting, who were both seasoned veterans, could tell at a glance that many highly skilled trainees were approaching.
The next moment, there was a loud bang!
The door and windows were kicked open from the outside at the same time, and countless masked men in black swarmed in and opened fire on the room!
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting retaliated quickly at the same time. The two of them leaped behind the assassins with uncanny speed, and with the action of throwing them over their shoulders, they kicked over the guns in the hands of several masked men, and dozens of people immediately fell to the ground!
The room was so dark that faces were obscured, so Gu Momo immediately disguised her voice as Gu Wanrou's:
"So many of you from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance want to kill me, shouldn't you at least let me die knowing why you want to kill me? Is it just to stop me from returning to the Fu family?"
"Enough with the nonsense! This is an S-rank mission from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Whether you're in the Fu family or anywhere else, it's your life!"
Gu Momo's voice was still that of Gu Wanrou: "Then come on, let's see what you're capable of!"
Countless assassins clad in black bulletproof vests charged toward Li Zhanting and Gu Momo with astonishing speed!
These people moved swiftly and quickly, loading, providing cover, and firing. Every series of actions was specially trained, making them clearly well-trained professional killers!
Li Zhanting's deep, hawk-like eyes curled into a cold smile as he swiftly and smoothly shielded Gu Momo behind him.
