"Are you resentful? Do you want revenge? Do you want to personally send those who bullied you to the gates of hell?"
Tong Shuirong was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, then turned her head and looked over in a panic.
The person in front of me was dressed in all black, with a black cloak and a half-mask covering his face, so I couldn't see his features.
This attire immediately intensified the terror in Tong Shuirong's heart.
"Who...who are you! How did you get here?"
She then looked toward the door. She remembered her daughter saying that there were guards at the door. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the man.
"Don't try to struggle in vain. Now that I'm here, I've already taken care of the people outside."
Hearing this, Tong Shuirong became even more frightened and asked, "You...you killed them?"
After Tong Shuirong finished speaking, she subconsciously stepped back.
"It's not that serious," the man said nonchalantly. "He's just unconscious; he won't wake up for at least six or seven hours."
Tong Shuirong felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Thinking about what the other person had said, she asked in disbelief, "Are you here to help me?"
"Um."
Tong Shuirong wasn't completely naive, so she asked, "Why would you help someone you don't know?"
"If you can't stand it, you'll draw your sword to help when you see injustice."
Tong Shuirong looked at the man with a puzzled expression and a probing gaze.
Upon seeing this, the man said, "There's only one chance; once you miss it, it's gone."
For me, there was no loss.
But for you, you're about to be kicked out. Are you willing to be treated like this?
The man's words successfully stirred up Tong Shuirong's hatred.
"I'm not reconciled! I dream of making those damned people pay the price!"
Tong Shuirong's gaze gradually turned sinister as she said, "Tell me, how can you help me?"
Upon hearing this, the man's smile widened.
...
And at this moment.
The central location of the Dongfang family and the area to the east are both somewhat turbulent.
The first place to be affected is the courtyard where the old man lives.
Meanwhile, Youju outside the door received a report from her subordinates immediately.
"Boss Ju, a group of people is coming this way, at least several dozen people."
"Wow, they've gone all out, determined to succeed?"
Youju immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, take the brothers and see what they're really made of."
As a result, the group of people were either killed or injured before they even got close to the old man's courtyard.
The same scene unfolded inside Tinglan Pavilion.
Once it was completely quiet outside, Jian Yixue calmly got up and went out.
"People from the Nie family?"
Ye Mohan said, "To be precise, they should be people from Dark Wolf."
Jian Yixue raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Mohan, saying, "So, there were some who slipped through the net last time?"
Ye Mohan felt somewhat helpless; whether he wanted to admit it or not, he had to.
"Yes, one group of people wasn't among them at the time, and by the time I found out, it was too late. That should be that part of the force."
Jian Yixue pouted and nodded.
Dongfang Tinglan, standing to the side, asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
She didn't know what had happened before; she had only heard Jian Yixue mention it briefly.
Gong Beize, however, knew about it.
He had recently arranged for someone to investigate, and he probably knew what had happened in Lancheng in order to find them, no... to find Lan'er.
He then said, "Among those who had a grudge against Xue'er before, there was a group of people who tried to kill us last time."
Dongfang Tinglan frowned and said, "How come the Nie family is full of a bunch of rabble! They always resort to these underhanded methods!"
Jian Yixue smiled and said, "It's alright, this time we'll wipe them out completely."
Then he looked at Ye Mohan and asked, "Did you find out if they're there? Are they at the Nie family's or somewhere else?"
Just as Ye Mohan was about to speak, Youju walked in casually through the door.
"Boss, I found out. Their leader is three kilometers away from the Dongfang family. I've already sent people to bring him back."
"Well done!" Jian Yixue praised without reservation.
...
Meanwhile, the man who came out from Tong Shuirong's place was overjoyed to see that something seemed to have happened to the Dongfang family.
It was truly a stroke of luck that he was being helped by heaven.
...
Half an hour later.
A group of people escorted a woman and an old man into the room.
The two men had rags stuffed in their mouths.
It really is true what they say: rivals in love are always extremely hostile to each other.
The moment Ouyang Yunruo saw Jian Yixue, her gaze was so hateful it seemed she wanted to devour her whole.
Dongfang Tinglan felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity when she looked at Ouyang Yunruo in front of her.
Immediately, she began to wonder if she had seen it somewhere before, or if she had forgotten something.
Jian Yixue: "Remove the things from their mouths."
His men showed no mercy and ripped the rags out of the two women's mouths.
Upon gaining her freedom, Ouyang Yunruo immediately began to hurl profanities.
"You bitch! You..."
Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap rang out.
Ouyang Yunruo covered her face and glared angrily at Youju in front of her, saying, "You dare hit me! What kind of dog are you! You..."
Yuju was furious.
He insulted the boss, and now he's insulting her.
Just when she had no temper, right?
"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Youju made a gesture as if she was about to attack.
"Youju!" Jian Yixue said calmly, "Gag her! She's so noisy!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yunruo shouted loudly, "Jian Yixue, you bitch! If you have the guts, then stop..."
