This realization slightly eased the shock in Gong Xiangru's heart. She curled her lips and said, "Am I wrong? Because of you, the entire Gong family has been tormented for thirteen years. Your crimes are unforgivable!"
She strode closer to Gong Ning, her high heels striking the cold ceramic floor, each strike feeling like a blow to her heart. "Gong Ning, for the past few nights I've had the same dream: you set fire to the entire Gong family, you destroyed the century-old family. Do you think it could be real? You hate the Gong family so much, you'd probably do something so heinous!"
"Slap!" Gong Ning used all her strength to slap her hard.
Caught off guard, Gong Xiangru's face, and even her entire body, was knocked to the side. Blood spilled from the corner of her lips and even dripped onto the snow-white floor, showing how hard Gong Ning had slapped her.
Gong Xiangru was stunned. She hadn't expected such a turn of events, nor had she anticipated Gong Ning's reaction.
It wasn't until she looked up and met Gong Ning's icy gaze that her brain seemed to start working again.
Gong Ning's gaze toward her was sharper and colder than ever before, as if she were looking at a dead person.
His face was deathly pale, devoid of any life, and even his lips were frighteningly white. Coupled with his cold and ruthless gaze, Gong Xiangru felt as if she had fallen into an avalanche of icebergs.
Gong Xiangru suddenly felt a coercive force that seemed to be able to override everything, slowly choking her soul. It was as if all her thoughts had lost their original self-control, and an indescribable suffocation suddenly came over her.
She looked down abruptly; Gong Ning's fingers were icy cold, and her grip on her neck was slowly tightening.
Gong Xiangru's eyes widened suddenly, her hands weakly reaching for Gong Ning's hands that were gripping her, her face gradually turning purplish-red. "Gong, Gong Ning, let go!"
Gong Ning's eyes were calm and serene, chillingly cold. Even her words seemed to come from beneath layers of ice that had been frozen for millions of years, piercing to the bone. "Gong Xiangru, you said... if you're going to die here today, does that mean you're really dead?"
"No, no, you can't do this! You wouldn't dare, Gong Ning, you wouldn't dare!" Gong Xiangru stared at her intently, shouting desperately, but was horrified to find that her breath was becoming increasingly thin.
"Why not? With your cautious and meticulous nature, even if something really happened here today, it would have been done quietly, right? You can be so ruthless, so why are you so sure I wouldn't dare? Where do you get your confidence and sense of superiority? Hmm?" As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Ning suddenly tightened her fingers, and the veins on the back of her fair hand became clearly visible. The dark mist in her eyes raged wildly.
Gong Xiangru clearly caught the murderous intent in Gong Ning's eyes, and was suddenly terrified. Her eyes rolled upwards uncontrollably, and her flailing hands gradually lost their strength.
"Bang! Jiaojiao!"
Just as Gong Xiangru thought she was about to die here today, the tightly closed door was kicked open, followed by a hoarse male voice filled with urgency and worry.
For Gong Xiangru, this was nothing short of a blessing from heaven.
Gong Ning's icy gaze remained unmoved; instead, she tightened her grip. The man, seeing the scene before him, narrowed his eyes and immediately stepped forward, grasping Gong Ning's pale wrist. He said in a deep voice, "Gong Ning, let go!"
Gong Ning's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, so cold that it seemed to keep everyone at arm's length. Hearing this, she turned her head to look at him, "Now, even you are going to speak up for her?"
