However, Old Master Ye's understanding of Yan Jue was still not thorough enough.
Zhong Li, wielding a silver spear, charged into the dense crowd like a ferocious tiger.
Without encountering any resistance, he overturned a large group of people.
Soon, blood flowed like a river, and none of those cannon fodder survived.
The few who attempted to flee also did not escape Zhong Li's slaughter.
At this moment, Zhong Li suddenly realized two people were missing.
"President Yan, Old Man Ye and his butler are gone. There were too many people just now, I didn't notice them."
Yan Jue pointed in the direction they had come from.
"That direction."
"Yes."
Zhong Li quickly pursued them.
By then, only a handful of people remained alive in the square.
The few members of the Tang family, except for Zhang Meiyu who had fainted, all looked at Tang Xiaomin with eyes full of fear.
Especially Tang Yu, if his legs weren't weak at the moment, he would probably have run faster than Old Master Ye.
Yan Jue gently wiped the bloodstains from Tang Xiaomin's face and said softly, "You can't bring yourself to do it, I'll help you."
This time, Tang Xiaomin did not speak.
Some things could be overlooked when they were unclear.
But once they erupted, they became uncontrollable, like now.
Even though she had repeatedly shown mercy to the Tang family.
Tang Yu's fear of Tang Xiaomin would lead him to develop paranoia.
Fear could make people constantly anxious, prompting them to take countermeasures.
Just like today, colluding with Old Master Ye, resorting to kidnapping her innocent adoptive father.
Yan Jue walked towards the Tang family members at a measured pace.
At this moment, Tang Zhongcheng held the unconscious Zhang Meiyu, while Tang Ye and Tang Yu sat on the ground, their faces filled with terror, at a loss.
Yan Jue then picked up a cleaver and, without hesitation, brought it down on Tang Yu after approaching him.
"No!"
Tang Yu fell to his knees before Yan Jue with a thud.
Besides begging for mercy, he didn't know how else he could stop him.
They were too cruel, killing without batting an eye, and their abilities surpassed human comprehension.
"Please, don't."
The cleaver hung above Tang Yu's head.
Tang Yu was already sweating profusely from fear and trembling.
Similarly, Tang Ye crawled and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Please don't kill us. My parents and I knew nothing. We were tricked into coming here, we really didn't know anything."
Tang Ye was telling the truth; he and his parents genuinely did not know about Old Master Ye's plan against Tang Xiaomin.
"When we arrived here, we only found out that Old Master Ye had kidnapped Li Changchun. The rest has nothing to do with us."
The terrified Li Changchun stammered, "Xiaomin, please don't kill anymore, they are your family."
It was precisely because of Li Changchun's words that Yan Jue stopped.
Because he saw the tears on Tang Xiaomin's face.
Tang Ye staggered and crawled to Tang Xiaomin, pleading with her.
"Xiaomin, please don't kill us, please."
"Mom treated you so well, she always remembers you. For Mom's sake, don't kill us."
"We really didn't know about today's events, my parents and I."
Tang Ye knelt on the ground, begging.
All dignity and pride were cast aside.
At this moment, he only wanted to live.
Tang Xiaomin raised her head, forcefully holding back the tears in her eyes.
"Since you already know my true identity, I'll be very clear today about who I truly am."
Tang Xiaomin narrated her past and present lives.
"I was killed by your entire family, and then I became who I am now."
"In my past life, all of you, for the sake of Tang Yiyi, personally sent me to the operating table to harvest my kidney."
"Then, I died alone and in despair on a cold hospital bed."
"Perhaps heaven has eyes, allowing me to be reborn. I want revenge on Tang Yiyi, on Li Xue, and on all of you."
"Li Xue is dead, and Tang Yiyi is also on her last breath. As for you, I have countless opportunities to kill you, just as easily as just now."
...
Having said this, everyone understood why Tang Xiaomin had not taken their lives.
It was because her conscience had not been completely extinguished.
Otherwise, who could have survived a day under her hand?
At this moment, Tang Zhongcheng was already weeping profusely.
"So, that nightmare was real... it was actually... real..."
"So, we really did such a thing."
Tang Zhongcheng closed his eyes heavily.
When he opened them again, there was no longer fear in his eyes, but a sense of relief.
"Now that things have come to this, you must hate us terribly. Or rather, you should hate me."
"I was the one who brought disaster upon us by bringing Li Xue and Tang Yiyi back to the Tang family. All the mistakes are mine."
"If you want to hate, hate me alone. You can kill me, and I will have no regrets. I only ask you to spare your brother and your mother."
After speaking, Tang Zhongcheng put down the unconscious Zhang Meiyu and resolutely walked towards Tang Xiaomin.
"I am not a good father, and I am willing to pay with my life for you."
"I only hope that after my death, the hatred will also dissipate."
Tang Zhongcheng knelt before Tang Xiaomin with a thud, begging for death.
"Kill me alone, and let them go."
...
No one expected the truth to be like this.
Li Changchun stood not far behind Tang Xiaomin, no longer speaking or trying to persuade Tang Xiaomin.
To be harmed by one's own family, how much pain must she have endured?
Tang Xiaomin, with venomous eyes, walked step by step towards Tang Zhongcheng.
Seeing this, Tang Yu panicked and stumbled over.
Tang Ye also panicked.
They both knelt before Tang Xiaomin, begging her desperately.
Tang Yu said, "Everything that happened today was caused by me. If you have any grievances, direct them at me."
"He is your father, please, don't kill him."
Tang Ye kept kowtowing to Tang Xiaomin.
"I kowtow to you, please spare us, I beg you, I beg you."
Tang Ye kowtowed with each word he spoke.
Before long, his forehead was bleeding, showing how desperate his will to live was.
They each grabbed one of Tang Xiaomin's legs and begged her like dogs.
However, in the next second, Tang Xiaomin kicked them both away with her feet.
Then, she continued walking towards Tang Zhongcheng.
"Xiaomin, no, please don't!"
Tang Ye and Tang Yu shouted simultaneously.
However, Tang Xiaomin had already picked up a knife from the ground.
She rolled up her sleeves, wiped the blood off the knife, and aimed it at Tang Zhongcheng.
Facing the impending death, Tang Zhongcheng showed no signs of retreat.
"Tang Yu, listen to me. After I die, you are not allowed to let your mother know about my affairs. Take good care of her. What I owe her, I can only repay in the next life."
Tang Zhongcheng finished speaking and slowly closed his eyes.
