Fang Luxue snatched the dagger, held it to her own neck, and threatened, "Uncle, release Wu Gousheng, or I'll die in front of you."
Tang Bingfeng smiled helplessly and shook his head. "Fang Lucue, are you still a child? Threatening me with such methods? Do you think your life is worth anything to me?"
“It’s worthless,” Fang Luxue replied.
With tears streaming down her face, she choked out, "But Uncle, my grandmother is already unhappy that you've imprisoned my mother. If blood were to spill at the Tang family's doorstep, how could the Tang family continue to thrive if the surrounding people saw it?"
A sinister glint flashed in Tang Bingfeng's eyes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He squinted at Fang Luxue, "Child, don't take your life so lightly. Is it worth threatening your uncle with your life for a complete stranger?"
“He’s not a complete stranger. He’s more reliable than any of you. He came here for me, and I can’t let anything happen to him!” Fang Luxue said firmly.
"Don't...don't do anything foolish." Wu Gousheng managed to utter these words after a long while, writhing in pain.
"Fine, I'll let him go. Just go back to the Tang family and put down the dagger, and I'll let him leave." Tang Bingfeng said, releasing Wu Gousheng.
Fang Luxue wasn't sure if what Tang Bingfeng said was true, but she didn't seem to have a better choice.
She held the knife to her nose and retreated step by step toward the Tang family.
"Wu Gousheng, thank you. You should go back now! I don't want to see anything happen to you because of me..."
Before Fang Luxue could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and the dagger was snatched away.
Immediately afterwards, she saw the Tang family's servants drag Wu Gousheng up from the ground.
Tang Bingfeng suddenly had a dagger in his hand and stabbed Wu Gousheng in the abdomen.
"Wu Gousheng!!!" Fang Luxue exclaimed.
She tried to shout to get Wu Gousheng to escape her control and dodge the dagger.
However, it was of no use.
She watched as the dagger pierced Wu Gousheng's body, and then Wu Gousheng fell to the ground.
Blood flowed down the clothes and onto the ground, glaringly bright in the sunlight.
"No!!!" Fang Luxue cried out in anguish.
Tang Bingfeng threw the dagger on the ground expressionlessly, took the handkerchief handed to him by a servant, and wiped the bloodstains off his hands.
"Clean it up thoroughly, so no one can find out."
He left those words behind and turned to walk towards the Tang residence.
