The continuous drizzle cleared up the clouds and the sun shone through, finally bringing good weather to the city.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie returned home carrying a briefcase. He stretched out his left hand, loosened his tie, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Honey, you're back. You must be tired from working out there. Get some rest." Liu Peilan, dressed in blue pajamas, stepped forward, took Sun Fei's coat, hung it on the hanger, and instructed the housekeeper to prepare dinner.
“It’s all worth it, no matter how hard it is. As long as you and our daughter are well, I’m willing to work as hard as I can.” Sun Fei put his arm around Liu Peilan’s shoulder and spoke tenderly and affectionately.
Liu Peilan smiled sweetly, leaning gently on Sun Fei's shoulder. Despite being married for many years, they maintained the sweetness of newlyweds, a model of affection in high society. What Sun Fei didn't see was the fleeting mockery and hatred in Liu Peilan's eyes.
As the sun set, Liu Peilan sat by the window reading a book. The housekeeper came over with a glass of milk, and Liu Peilan casually asked, "I don't remember asking for milk."
"It was the master's order," the butler said with a smile. He was naturally pleased that his master and mistress were so loving.
Where are the others?
"The gentleman suddenly received a phone call and left in a hurry, saying that he would not be coming back today."
"Put it here, I'll drink it later." Liu Peilan nodded gently, and then left as the housekeeper.
As night fell, the entire villa fell silent, with something seeming to stir restlessly in the darkness. In the spacious bedroom, the gauze curtains fluttered in the breeze, and slivers of moonlight streamed in through the gaps, bringing a touch of light.
Someone lying flat on the Simmons bed suddenly opened their eyes, their pupils gleaming in the darkness, as a sucking sound came from outside. Liu Peilan immediately closed her eyes, placed her hands folded over her abdomen, and breathed steadily, without revealing any signs of distress.
Moonlight refracted in, and a cold glint flashed brilliantly in the darkness. The man's eyes gleamed with a dangerous light, like those of a lone wolf, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips. His white teeth gleamed coldly, and like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he lunged at the woman on the bed with a knife in hand.
In the man's hands, the sharp knife was an invincible weapon; one could even faintly hear the sound of it tearing through the air, which showed just how ruthless the man had been.
Lying on the bed, Liu Peilan's heart tightened, her muscles tensed, like a female leopard poised to pounce. She rolled over on the bed, successfully dodging the assassination attempt.
Whether intentional or not, the dagger sliced across his side, and blood instantly flowed out, filling the air with the sweet scent of blood. Liu Peiling had no time to care about any of that; she simply stared at the man before her with her sharp phoenix eyes. In the moonlight, the man's face was laid bare before her, leaving him nowhere to hide.
"Sun Fei, you're really something." Liu Peilan said, each word distinct and her tone calm, yet it inexplicably carried a great deal of pressure.
Sun Fei knew Liu Peilan's true nature; anyone who crossed him would face dire consequences. Leaving aside Liu Peilan's own methods, the Liu family behind him alone was enough to make someone wish they were dead.
Biting his lip tightly until the taste of blood filled his mind, Sun Fei narrowed his eyes, the veins on his hand gripping the dagger bulging, and lunged at Liu Peilan. This desperate gamble was his only chance of survival; waiting to die would only mean certain death.
Liu Peilan's eyes were expressionless. Ever since she decided on this plan, she had lost all feelings for Sun Fei. She had anticipated his actions. For her, only those she cared about could stir her emotions; no one else could even catch her eye.
Slightly turning her body to dodge the deadly force, Liu Peilan reached out and grabbed Sun Fei's wrist, twisting it sharply.
"Ah—" Sun Fei screamed, his face turning as white as wallpaper, his lips trembling, and cold sweat covering his entire forehead, clearly indicating that he was in extreme pain.
Liu Bei Lan showed no mercy, kicking Sun Fei between the legs with her foot. Sun Fei was instantly gripped by the most excruciating pain of his life. He collapsed to the ground, curled up like a shrimp, too writhing in agony to even scream.
Looking down at the man she once loved most, Liu Peilan glanced at the two-inch-long wound on her side, blood gushing out uncontrollably, filling the entire room with a pungent, bloody smell.
Ignoring the still-bleeding wound, Liu Peilan reached out and grabbed Sun Fei by the neck. She then slashed his own hand across the ground, turning Sun Fei's face as white as a corpse's ashen. The smell of blood instantly filled his nostrils. Liu Peilan took two steps back in disgust and then shouted towards the door.
"Someone come here—" The bodyguards downstairs rushed into the room upon hearing the noise, and were dumbfounded by the scene before them. Only men can understand the pain of men. Seeing this, each of them couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines and tighten their legs. Their gazes toward Liu Peilan were a mixture of admiration and fear.
The saying goes, "Don't hit someone in the face," but this move is even worse than hitting someone in the face.
Ignoring the strange looks from those around you, you slowly and deliberately cleaned the bloodstains from your hands, your tone nonchalant. "Take care of it."
The bodyguards worked efficiently and quickly, taking simple measures to prevent Sun Fei from bleeding to death.
Liu Peilan's wounds received only basic treatment; her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her clothes were stained with blood.
When the family doctor arrived, this was the scene he saw. He was so frightened that he quickly ran to Liu Peilan's side and carefully treated her.
"Miss's health isn't too bad, just a little blood loss. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, and you'll be fine after a few days." She handed the prescription to Liu Peilan, but the other woman just raised her eyes, glanced at her lazily, and didn't reach out to take it.
"I've lost too much blood, I'm severely injured and unconscious, and I won't wake up anytime soon. I might even die. Doctor, do you understand what I mean?"
The doctor was startled by the lazy tone, and goosebumps rose on his skin. He quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, I'll go back and find the equipment right away. I'll definitely treat Miss well."
Liu Peilan comes from a powerful family and is someone most people can't afford to offend. Whatever she says goes.
"Hmm!" Liu Peilan nodded lightly, then gave a few simple instructions before going upstairs and leaving. All she had to do next was wait, wait for that person to make a move and make those two scoundrels pay the price.
Normally, men bear the majority of the responsibility in these kinds of situations, so who can they blame if they can't control themselves? But Zhang Wenxiu was unscrupulous and had such malicious intentions, so don't blame her for dealing with both of them.
That young police officer is much more cunning than she is.
