"Some words I wouldn't have needed to say, but you have no self-awareness. So I'll tell you now, do you understand?"
Ye Lingyun spoke decisively. For him, the engagement had reached a point of no return.
Those cold, heartless words were like knives, slicing deeply into Yang Yang's heart, one after another.
Nothing was more painful than being coldly rejected by the man she loved.
"No... you're lying, you must be lying to me!"
Yang Yang shook her head in anguish, tears streaming down her face.
"It's all Tang Xiaomin's fault. You love her, so naturally, she's perfect in your eyes. In your heart, all fault falls on me."
"But what did I do wrong? Everything I did was for my own happiness and my future. I did nothing wrong!"
"The one who's wrong is that shameless bitch, Tang Xiaomin. If you hadn't hinted to Ye Lingyun, how could he have broken off the engagement with me!"
Yang Yang glared furiously at Tang Xiaomin, blaming her for everything.
"Tang Xiaomin, it's all your fault. As long as you're gone, everything will be resolved!"
"What are you waiting for? Kill her!"
!!!
The frenzied Yang Yang gave the order, and the dense crowd of bodyguards stirred, raising their weapons.
Seeing this, Ye Lingyun's expression turned grim.
"What are you doing? Stop! Don't make another mistake!"
At this moment, Yang Yang couldn't take any advice.
In her rage, she commanded.
"Get Young Master Yun away."
"Yes!"
Several bodyguards stepped forward to try and restrain Ye Lingyun. Ye Lingyun, however, didn't waste words with them, taking down one with each move.
He was an award-winning Taekwondo competitor, his skills already formidable. Although not as burly as the bodyguards, he dared to be ruthless, each attack aimed at a vital spot.
Thus, after a few minutes, Yang Yang's bodyguards still couldn't subdue Ye Lingyun.
Tang Xiaomin, watching Ye Lingyun fight back so fiercely, shook her head helplessly.
To Yang Yang, Ye Lingyun's resistance was interpreted differently. He was clearly fighting to save Tang Xiaomin.
Therefore, the more he resisted, the more Yang Yang's anger flared.
"Lingyun, look carefully. While you're risking your life for Tang Xiaomin, what is she doing?"
"She's sitting on the sofa, watching indifferently, not worried about your safety at all. Such a heartless woman doesn't deserve your affection. Stop resisting."
Ye Lingyun, in the midst of the fight, could hear these words, but he showed no intention of stopping. Instead, he fought with growing ferocity.
Tang Xiaomin admired him greatly. He had already shown his determination to fight against his fate by coming this far.
So, Tang Xiaomin couldn't bear to watch and joined the fight.
Her fighting style was simple and brutal, dispatching one bodyguard with a single punch or kick.
Bang bang bang... The bodyguards fell in droves, groaning in pain, no longer able to stand.
After dealing with the riffraff, Tang Xiaomin turned to Yang Yang with a cold gaze.
"Enough, Yang Yang. Can't you see?"
"Young Master Yun fighting with your bodyguards wasn't for me. He was fighting for himself. He truly doesn't want to marry you."
"I advise you to leave yourself an escape route and not corner yourself."
Looking at Ye Lingyun and Tang Xiaomin standing together, the handsome man and beautiful woman combination, Yang Yang's nerves were frayed.
Her last shred of sanity crumbled. An overwhelming rage drove her to a desperate act.
"Tang Xiaomin, you don't need to say anything more. Your virtuous act might fool others, but it won't fool me."
"I've completely lost patience with you. It's time to end this."
"What do you want?"
...
This time, Yang Yang didn't answer Tang Xiaomin's question. Instead, she pointed at her coldly and commanded.
"Shoot, kill her!"
Bang!
A gunshot suddenly rang out, and a scent of blood filled the air.
Everything happened too fast, and soon someone fell.
"Ye Lingyun!"
Tang Xiaomin frantically knelt down to check on the wounded Ye Lingyun. The shot was originally aimed at her, but Ye Lingyun had lunged out to take the bullet for her.
"Son!"
Whoosh, a large number of bodyguards in suits poured into the abandoned factory from outside, quickly surrounding Yang Yang's men.
Madam Ye, leading the charge, rushed to Ye Lingyun's side, crying out in distress.
"Son... how are you!"
"Call an ambulance! Send him to the hospital quickly!"
"Hurry!"
...
Tang Xiaomin pressed on the wound on Ye Lingyun's chest. The bleeding had slowed considerably.
"Don't move, everyone. The bleeding has stopped. Lie still and wait for the doctor. Nobody move him!"
Ye Lingyun's face contorted in pain, yet he spoke with determination.
"Mom... Yang Yang... she's gone mad. I absolutely don't want a dangerous woman like this."
"I'd rather die... than be with her."
"Mom... save me... save me..."
...
Madam Ye had actually arrived earlier. It was Ye Lingyun who had notified her.
After arriving outside, she had observed Yang Yang's actions as Ye Lingyun had instructed.
She hadn't expected Yang Yang to be so cruel, watching her bodyguards attack Ye Lingyun and even ordering them to shoot.
Whether Ye Lingyun took the bullet for Tang Xiaomin or not, this debt would be settled with Yang Yang.
After all, he was her son. Madam Ye wept with heartbreak, comforting Ye Lingyun.
"Son, don't be afraid. The doctor will be here soon. Mom will save you."
"Mom promises you, this engagement is canceled. Mom won't force you anymore. You must hold on."
Only after facing death does one truly understand what they truly desire.
Compared to her son, profit was worthless at this moment.
Madam Ye found peace.
Ye Lingyun's injury had terrified Yang Yang. Her legs went weak, and she stumbled over to check on Ye Lingyun's wound.
"Lingyun, how badly are you hurt..."
Slap!
Madam Ye stood up, furiously backhanded Yang Yang, knocking her to the ground. Sudanonovel.com
"Bitch, how dare you hurt my son! I will never let you off!"
Yang Yang didn't have time to tend to the pain on her face. Terrified, she grabbed Madam Ye's leg and pleaded.
"Auntie, it's not like that. I didn't mean to hurt Lingyun."
"It's all Tang Xiaomin. Lingyun is injured because of her..."
"Ah..."
Madam Ye kicked Yang Yang in the face with disgust.
"What a shameless bitch! I saw everything clearly from outside. Do you think I'm easily fooled?"
"Last time you plotted to get Tang Xiaomin into Lingyun's room. You shameless slut, you are utterly unworthy of entering my Ye family!"
At the same time, several more people entered the doorway, led by Yan Jue.
Like Madam Ye, he had been watching the drama unfold from outside. Madam Ye and the others had rushed ahead, blocking his path, so he could only come from behind.
Yan Jue glanced at Tang Xiaomin, who was tending to the wounded on the ground, then walked directly towards Yang Yang.
