Chu Tiesheng turned his head and saw that lights had been turned on in many places in the mansion, and many people were rushing over.
His expression shifted between light and dark, but considering the future situation of the Chu family and the pressure from Sang Hong, he had no choice but to give up: "But if Qin Wanru runs away, what good will it do if she comes back and calls for help?"
Hong Zhong shook his head: "Don't worry, Madam won't survive after being hit by my Heart-Shattering Fist."
As he said this, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. This was a situation he had always tried to avoid, but unfortunately, things had come to this point, and it was the inevitable choice.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tiesheng's expression changed drastically. Having been in the Chu family for so long, how could he not know the power of Hong Zhong's Heart-Shattering Fist?
If Qin Wanru were in a normal state, she might have a sliver of hope after being punched like that, but now, weakened by poison and hit in a vital spot, there's no chance of her surviving.
"Oh, what a pity." Chu Tiesheng was so regretful that his face turned almost green. How could he have been so blinded by greed and let the cooked duck escape?
Hong Zhong snorted coldly: "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't acted recklessly, none of this trouble would have happened!"
Chu Tiesheng was secretly furious. This guy doesn't give me any face at all!
Thinking of Hong Zhong's prestige in the Chu family, he thought that once he became the head of the family, he must get rid of this guy, otherwise he would be impossible to command.
Unbeknownst to them, an old man had been silently watching them from the shadows in the distance. Only when the two stopped chasing did he turn and leave.
Old Man Mi frowned as he looked in the direction Zuan had fled. He should have acted sooner if he had known this would happen.
It turns out that the sudden break of the big tree that blocked the two of them was his doing.
Meanwhile, as Zu An carried Qin Wanru and ran at full speed, a weak voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't worry about me, put me down, and you run for your life."
Zu An said in a deep voice, "You are Chu Yan and Xiao Zhao's mother, how could I abandon you and run away alone! Besides, you just risked your life to save me, wouldn't I be worse than an animal if I abandoned you now?"
Qin Wanru shook her head slightly: "You don't understand. I've been poisoned by a rare toxin. Death is the best relief for me."
"A rare poison?" Zu'an was taken aback and quickly stopped to look at her.
A strange blush flashed across Qin Wanru's face: "That despicable and shameless bastard Chu Tiesheng gave me 'Bull's Milk,' which is a potent... aphrodisiac. There is no antidote except through intercourse with a man, so I might as well be dead."
“Why not just call your father-in-law over? What’s the big deal?” Zu’an couldn’t help but say, while cursing Chu Tiesheng’s shamelessness in his heart. He thought that he had noticed Chu Tiesheng’s longing gaze at Qin Wanru several times before, but he never expected that Chu Tiesheng would dare to defy the world and actually do such a thing to her.
"You don't understand anything!" Qin Wanru retorted angrily.
Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 233!
Zuan looked completely bewildered; why was he suddenly angry?
“You can’t run far with me now, since I’m going to die anyway. Rather than both of us dying together, it’s better for you to escape and expose their conspiracy. That way, my death won’t be in vain,” Qin Wanru said anxiously.
Zu An refused outright: "I am but a nobody, how can I compare to Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng's prestige in the family? Even if I spoke up, no one would believe me."
Qin Wanru was taken aback, then suddenly realized that he was telling the truth: "At least you can tell Chuyan in the future, and she will definitely believe you."
Zuan picked her up again: "It would be best if you went to expose their conspiracy yourself. Don't worry, I know someone who can definitely cure the poison in your body."
After saying that, he picked her up and ran off in another direction.
