"San'er!" Xiang Ziye tensed up instantly.
There were four brothers in the family. The second brother died of illness when he was very young, leaving three brothers and a younger sister named Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was adopted by her uncle, who couldn't have children, at a young age. A few years ago, she married and moved to Fujian Province. Of her close brothers, only Xiang San remains.
Seeing his elder brother's expression, Xiang San couldn't help but tense up and whispered, "Elder brother..."
Rong Zhaonan said calmly, "To be honest, if you don't believe me, fine, but why not listen to what your own family has to say?"
Xiang Ziye looked at him darkly: "What truth are you talking about? The truth that your outfit is really cool? The truth that you're showing off your promising future? Or the truth that you beat us brothers?"
His equipment was quite expensive; it was clearly experimental equipment that had been specially acquired, and only a very small number of experimental units were qualified to use it.
The fact that Rong Zhaonan was qualified to wear this outfit to deal with them already shows that he was highly valued and was involved in a special project!
What could be more distressing than seeing your enemy thrive and have everything go smoothly?
Xiang Ziye sneered: "Back in the countryside, you were always good at pretending, pretending to be tamed, pretending to be a dog. Now that you've climbed out of the mud, you've become arrogant. Have you forgotten how pathetic you were a few years ago when someone led you by the neck and beat you up?"
Back in the countryside, he should have found a way to get rid of Rong Zhaonan instead of listening to He Su—
What revenge is to crush the pride of the nation into dust, to make them spend their lives in petty scheming, their faith shattered, living like a subservient dog!
Ning Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she listened. Xiang Ziye, that bastard!
She subconsciously looked at Rong Zhaonan.
Rong Zhaonan looked at Xiang Ziye calmly, showing no sign of being provoked.
"Having endured hardship and humiliation, three thousand Yue soldiers were able to conquer Wu. I have lived to this day to prove that the path I chose was right and that you were wrong."
Xiang Ziye paused, then suddenly chuckled softly: "What's right, what's wrong? Stop talking nonsense, I admit defeat!"
As he spoke, he suddenly tightened his grip on Ning Yuan, pointing the gun at her temple: "I can choose whether I live or die, but Rong Zhaonan, you have to accompany me on the road to the underworld!"
"Big Brother!" Xiang San suddenly stepped forward and couldn't help but speak.
Although this move was something the brothers had decided long ago, Xiang San couldn't help but tremble at the sight of his eldest brother's resolute expression.
Xiang Ziye looked at him, a dark undercurrent flashing in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Third brother, I'm sorry, I can't take care of you now!"
Rong Zhaonan looked at him coldly: "Xiang Ziye, since you're not afraid of death, are you now afraid to even listen to what your own brother has to say? Are you living in a daze, and will you die in a daze?"
Xiang Ziye looked at Xiang San with a complicated expression: "San'er, don't tell me you compromised with Rong Zhaonan. They said that He Su was the mastermind behind Ye Qiu's affair, and they also said..."
Xiang San closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly interrupted him in a low voice: "Brother... what they said is true, I heard it with my own ears, He Su..."
A crimson light flashed in his eyes: "That bitch has been using us all along!"
Xiang Ziye was stunned: "You heard it with your own ears..."
Xiang San took a deep breath and whispered what he had heard and seen.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Ziye's grip on the gun tightened even more, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
Ning Yuan was held tightly in his arms, clearly feeling the stiffness of his body. Suddenly she spoke: "Xiang Ziye, are you still going to run away and deny it... that girl, you loved her."
She paused, then said softly, "And she loved you until she died..."
Xiang Ziye froze, his face cold and expressionless, and said, "Shut up!"
At this moment, Rong Zhaonan made another gesture.
Before long, He Su was also pushed onto the bridge. Her shoulder injury was given basic treatment and bandaged.
The dried bloodstains on her body made her look extremely disheveled.
He Su stared at them expressionlessly until she noticed that Ning Yuan had a gun pointed at her head by Xiang Ziye.
She instantly perked up, a gleam of pleasure flashing in her eyes, and subconsciously looked at Rong Zhaonan.
Suddenly, Xiang San's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He lunged forward and grabbed her by the neck, shouting, "You bitch! If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened! None of this would have happened!"
He Su's face flushed red instantly from being pinched, but she did not struggle.
She just sneered: "Cough cough cough cough... What... Just a woman, you Xiangs, are you planning to forget who caused the deaths of your loved ones and the dead ends your brothers met?"
Xiang Ziying paused, but didn't let go of her. She just glanced coldly at Rong Zhaonan.
"Rong Zhaonan, you say you have evidence to prove that you didn't kill Xiao Si!"
He Su got a brief respite and chuckled softly, "What evidence could he possibly have? You're just listening to his nonsense!"
She was absolutely certain that Rong Zhaonan had no evidence whatsoever!
He Su turned to Xiang Ziye: "Have you forgotten that Xiang Sanming clearly saw him push Xiang Xiaosi off the bridge? Have you forgotten that when you wanted to help Xiang Xiaosi get justice, everyone, including the police, said that Xiang Xiaosi was helpless and desperate when he fell off the bridge?"
Xiang Ziye gripped the gun tightly, his gaze fixed on Rong Zhaonan with a cold and gloomy intensity: "..."
Rong Zhaonan met Xiang Ziye's eyes without flinching: "I'll say it again—I did not push Xiang Xiaosi off the bridge!"
He said coldly, "Back when I was leading a training exercise at the reservoir, you yourself said you hoped I would let Xiang Si go, and you personally brought him to find me..."
"That's right, it was me. I wanted to reconcile with you and bring Xiao Si along, but I personally sent Xiao Si to his doom!" Xiang Ziye suddenly interrupted him sharply.
He pointed the gun at Ning Yuan's head, staring intently at Rong Zhaonan, his eyes reddening—
“Do you know how much I’ve hated my decision all these years? Every night, I dream of Xiao Si in this river, covered in blood, saying to me—Brother, I’m so cold, I’m in so much pain…”
Xiang Ziye gritted his teeth: "I personally sent him to hell, and he had nowhere to turn for help. How can you expect me to let you off the hook?! And who can let me off the hook?"
Rong Zhaonan looked at Xiang Ziye with a dark gaze: "I'll say it again, although I beat him up, I didn't push him, at that time..."
"Back then, your father and I both knew that you blamed Xiang Xiaosi for Ye Qiu's death, which is why you killed him. Your father felt sorry for you and protected you..." He Su said with a look of regret, a cold and malicious light flashing in his eyes.
But before she could finish speaking, to everyone's surprise, Xiang Ziye suddenly smiled, then abruptly turned his gun on her and fired a shot—
"Bang!"
"Ah—!" He Su screamed in agony as a burst of blood erupted from her knee.
She screamed in agony, her face contorted, clutching her leg as she sat on the ground, staring at Xiang Ziye in disbelief: "You...you..."
This moment stunned everyone.
Xiang Ziye deftly sheathed his gun, revealing a sinister and twisted smile to He Su—
"Aunt He Su, it's impolite to interrupt other people's conversations, do you know that?"
