Chapter 180: Killing Shen Mingyue would give me a reason to kill her brother.
Yunyang and Ella turned their heads at the same time, looking in the direction from which the sound came.
A young maid stood in panic before the shards of metal scattered on the floor.
It looks like an expensive vase was broken.
When the girl met Yunyang and Ella's gaze, she turned pale with fright and frantically gestured with her hands.
"It's alright, we can fix it up quickly," Yun Yang said gently.
Ella looked at the maid, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, puzzled: "Why isn't she saying anything?"
Yun Yang shook her head: "I don't know."
Suddenly, all the servants in Xiaoyuan fell silent, before she could even ask why.
Just as Yunyang and Ella's attention was drawn to it, Cuihua quietly slipped out from the other side of the restaurant.
She bit her lower lip hard, clutching her stomach, and headed straight for Fu Xiaoting's room.
The gentleman is not as terrible as the legends say.
They will definitely pity her and help her keep her daughter.
Standing in front of that heavy door, her heart pounded wildly. She raised her slightly trembling hand and gently knocked.
"Knock knock".
A deep, cold voice soon came from inside the door.
"Come in."
Cuihua took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and slipped inside.
Her voice trembled with tears, filled with despair and pleading: "Sir..."
...
Downstairs living room.
Ella's gaze shifted from the maid who was cleaning up the broken pieces to Yun Yang's face.
"Besides Pan'er, we also want to take someone else with us, and we hope you can cooperate with us."
Yun Yang narrowed her eyes slightly; her tone sounded more like a notification than a discussion.
"Housekeeper?"
Ella nodded: "His brother is afraid to come see him in person, so he hopes that Hamburger and I can step in and take him back."
“His family has been looking for him for many years and longs to reunite with him.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Yang remained silent for a moment.
"Although I really hope that the housekeeper can receive the love of his family, he is not a child after all, and we should respect his own wishes."
Yun Yang looked at Ella and said seriously, "After all, his last reunion with his brother wasn't pleasant. Why don't you call him down now and ask him what he thinks in person?"
Just as Yun Yang was about to get up, the system suddenly shouted in her mind!
[Sister Yang! Something's happened! Quick, to Fu Xiaoting's room! He's going to kill someone!]
Yunyang sprang up from the sofa in a flash.
He immediately reached into his pajama pocket and rummaged around.
They only found one cockroach.
The key is gone!
Damn it!
I was so dizzy from that kiss last night that I didn't even realize my keys had been taken!
She thought Li Yuan wouldn't be completely suppressed by E Ting, but unexpectedly...
Just as I was about to call for help and rush upstairs, the system voice sounded again.
He said he knew I could monitor him! He told me to tell you to come alone! Otherwise, Cuihua would die immediately!
"Yunyang? What's wrong?" Ella was startled by her sudden reaction and asked with concern.
Yun Yang forced herself to calm down, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, but she managed a stiff smile.
"It's alright, I'll go upstairs and call the housekeeper down."
She turned and walked quickly toward the stairs, each step feeling like walking on cotton.
As she hurriedly reached the second-floor corridor, almost approaching Fu Xiaoting's room...
The system suddenly became intelligent.
[Sister Yang, either kiss me now, or don't take me inside.]
Otherwise, he'll definitely make you hand me over first!
Yun Yang was so panicked that she was completely at a loss, but the system's reminder made her break out in a cold sweat.
yes!
Fu Xiaoting knew about the system's existence; since he dared to challenge it like this, he must have a backup plan.
It's not just Cuihua in the room who's in danger!
She stopped abruptly, her gaze sweeping over her surroundings.
Fu Xiaoting's room has a 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window, which can almost take in the entire front yard.
This means that the people painting the gold statue in the yard were all within his line of sight!
Shin-chan, Pan-er, Hamburger... they are now sitting ducks!
There wasn't a single servant on this floor, and if she went down now, it would definitely arouse Fu Xiaoting's suspicion.
They might kill one first to set the mood.
Yunyang made a quick decision and walked to the window at the end of the corridor.
I'll throw you down, and you can make them hide!
After saying that, she opened the window without hesitation and threw the cockroach out.
【Aaaaaah—Sister Yang! But this is the backyard window! When will I be able to climb to the front yard?!】
How could Yunyang not know that this was the backyard?
She couldn't very well throw the system out of the front yard window in front of Evil Ting, could she?
Ugh, this is so annoying, I didn't bring my phone!
We have no choice but to take a gamble.
After doing all this, Yun Yang took a deep breath, walked to Fu Xiaoting's door, and pushed it open forcefully.
The room was dimly lit, and the curtains were only half-drawn.
Everything went as she expected.
Fu Xiaoting stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his back to her, his figure outlined by the morning light as a cold and upright silhouette.
He held a black pistol in his right hand, the muzzle pointed directly out the window.
Cuihua lay silently on the carpet at his feet, motionless.
Fu Xiaoting did not ask her for the system immediately as she had expected.
Perhaps in his view, a stupid system poses no threat whatsoever.
Yunyang walked over quickly, squatted down, and checked Cuihua's breath.
A faint breeze brushed against her fingertips.
"Still alive."
Fu Xiaoting's icy voice came from above.
"However, she's about to die by your gun."
Yun Yang suddenly looked up, glaring at him: "I won't kill her!"
Cuihua is about to give birth.
No matter what the adults do, the children are innocent.
Fu Xiaoting's lips curved slightly.
"Of course, the gun is in your hand."
"You can choose to kill me, or..."
His gaze returned to the window.
"Or, I'll kill one of the ones below."
Yun Yang followed his gaze.
The sun shines brightly outside the window, and the lawn is lush and green.
Shin-chan grabbed a water pipe and started spraying water down the statue's rear end.
Pan'er, wearing her pretty red dress, was squatting next to the statue, smiling as she helped Xiaoxin wring out a rag.
Shen Mingyue watched with great amusement, occasionally offering a few pointers.
Upstairs, a deadly trap was brewing.
Downstairs, people were playing and laughing without realizing it.
Yunyang felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Fu Xiaoting withdrew his gaze and said slowly, "Let's kill Shen Mingyue."
“If I kill her, I will have a reason to kill her brother.”
Yun Yang suddenly stood up and stared intently at him.
"You're resentful towards me because I let Shen Yaoyang go?"
"But have you considered that in the established plot, Shen Yaoyang is the one who survives to the end unscathed! If you confront him head-on now, you might end up making things worse and putting yourself in danger!"
"But you also told me that you can defy the plot!" Fu Xiaoting suddenly raised his voice, his calm expression replaced by a kind of crazy obsession.
"I don't want to take any risks to my body! Am I wrong?"
"What does it matter if I kill everyone in the world, as long as I can live a good life!"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, his voice growing louder and louder, almost roaring.
Yun Yang was so angered by his shout that she involuntarily took a step back.
She subconsciously raised her hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist vigorously, praying frantically in her heart.
Li Yuan! Come back quickly! Come back soon!
Ring, ring...
The crisp sound of the bell echoed in the tense air.
Miraculously, the ruthlessness and madness on Fu Xiaoting's face were gradually fading away.
He forced a stiff smile as if he were acting nervously, and his tone became strangely calm.
"Thanks."
“You calmed me down. My mother’s bracelet always comforts me.”
"Otherwise, Li Yuan might take the opportunity to regain control of me."
The year he was found, he had nightmares every night, and his mother would shake the bracelet to lull him to sleep.
The following year, his mother went out, and her car was hit by the killer and plunged into the lake, leaving him behind.
The Fu family has made too many enemies, and the real culprit has been slow to be identified.
Then one day, he suddenly awoke.
He also realized that he could never avenge his mother.
Because it's all the plot's doing.
They pushed him into the abyss so that the "female lead" could have a chance to redeem him.
Yun Yang's hand, which was shaking, suddenly stopped.
Yes, this is Fu Xiaoting's mother's bracelet.
The system couldn't find the reason why Evil Ting disappeared and then suddenly reappeared. Could it be because of this bracelet?
Ever since Jujiro took out the bracelet, Xiaoting has been acting increasingly strangely!
Fu Xiaoting seemed to see through her thoughts, and his smile deepened.
Yes, that's right.
"It was this bracelet that awakened me."
"Back then, I was critically injured and my consciousness was weak, which allowed that good-for-nothing Li Yuan to take advantage of my weakness and possess my body."
He never expected that he would wake up one day.
“Thanks to Guchiro,” he said softly, “no matter the circumstances, he always found a way to save me.”
Fu Xiaoting's expression became somewhat dazed, as if he were recalling something.
"I have suffered too many wounds in the past twenty-odd years."
"So I'm afraid. I'm afraid of losing my legs again, like when I was a child and I was kidnapped and trapped in a dark, cramped place, unable to move."
"That feeling of not being able to control your own destiny is truly terrifying."
There was a hint of vulnerability in his voice.
Yun Yang saw that the time had come.
“So, I want to help you.” She looked at him and said sincerely, “I will definitely help you.”
Fu Xiaoting raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Cuihua, who was lying unconscious on the ground.
"Then kill her first."
"Kill her and prove your resolve to me."
Yun Yang was stunned, completely unable to understand his logic.
"I don't understand, what does this have to do with her?"
Fu Xiaoting sneered.
Do you know why Jesus was crucified?
"Because he has forgiven too many people."
“I need someone who can fight alongside me, not a Jesus who goes around preaching love and peace.”
He looked down at Yun Yang, his eyes icy and piercing.
"She is not innocent at all."
"She just came to me and said that she's having a boy."
"She needs Pan'er to stay and take care of her future younger brother."
"So she begged me, and ordered you, not to send her daughter away."
Fu Xiaoting's voice slithered into Yun Yang's ears like a venomous snake.
"Don't you hate parents who don't love their children the most?"
"Didn't you struggle to get out of that kind of family that favored sons over daughters?"
"Don't you hate this kind of person now?"
