Zhong Li's wrist ached, and her expression became even more ferocious when she was angry.
"Still daring to bite me? Let you taste the pain of being burned too!"
Zhong Li waved her hand and unceremoniously threw Ye Die into the raging flames.
"Ah!"
"I won't forgive you even if I'm a ghost!"
...
Ye Die rolled and struggled in the fire, her tragic cries echoing endlessly, each one filled with despair.
Before long, the sounds gradually subsided, and the air was filled with the smell of roasted meat.
"Xiao Min!"
Tang Ye's figure appeared from a doorway, running breathlessly.
"Are... are you... alright..."
Tang Xiao Min remembered what Ye Die had said earlier, that Tang Ye's juice had drugged her.
One must guard against all threats, but it's hard to guard against those within one's own household.
She crept over to Tang Ye's side, about to make a move, when Tang Ye quickly explained.
"Don't hit me, I've already called for help. I absolutely did not betray you!"
"What I'm saying is true. If you don't believe me, ask Yan Jue."
Tang Xiao Min cast a questioning look at Yan Jue.
"He did call me," Yan Jue said.
It seemed she had wronged him.
"The juice you gave me had sleeping powder in it. You almost killed me."
"How could that happen? I truly didn't know. Otherwise, I would never have given it to you."
"Alright, I was wrong to blame you."
"Of course. When I found out you were missing, I searched everywhere for you. In the end, you thought I wanted to harm you and even wanted to hit me... sigh..."
As he spoke, Tang Ye's face was full of grievance.
Tang Xiao Min said helplessly, "It's because you didn't behave properly before."
Mentioning the past, Tang Ye's face was filled with shame.
"It's good that you're alright. Let's leave this place quickly. My heart is pounding."
Indeed, with bodies all over the ground and a burnt smell filling the air, Tang Ye vaguely guessed what had happened.
At this moment, his face was pale, and his stomach churned incessantly, as if he was about to throw up.
Tang Ye ran out first.
Not long after, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor. At first, they thought it was Tang Ye returning.
However, it was not.
Ye Fengxing's face instantly turned pale as he looked at the bloody scene before him and the corpse of Steward Ye on the ground.
"Steward!"
Ye Fengxing frantically searched for something.
"Ye Die!"
He searched everywhere but couldn't find Ye Die. Suddenly, Ye Fengxing noticed the large bonfire in the center of the hall.
"Ye Die... Ye Die!"
The fire was too fierce, and the strange smell of roasted meat was even more pungent than before.
Ye Fengxing guessed something in his heart and cast a questioning glance at Tang Xiao Min and the others.
Tang Xiao Min took off the jacket Yan Jue had draped over her, revealing her disheveled state.
Some things needed to be clarified.
"You are a smart person. It's exactly as you suspect."
Ye Fengxing's expression was incredibly complex. He knelt down in front of the bonfire.
Heartache and despair gnawed at his soul.
"Xiao Die..."
He had been decadent recently and hadn't paid attention to Ye Die. By the time he realized and rushed over, it was already too late.
While blaming himself, Ye Fengxing harbored even more resentment towards Tang Xiao Min and Yan Jue.
"Ye Die was a very important sister to me. You killed her."
The facts were as stated, and Tang Xiao Min did not deny it.
"That's right, I won't defend myself. If you want revenge for Ye Die, then come."
"Heh heh..."
Ye Fengxing let out a strange, bitter laugh.
"Tang Xiao Min, do you think I can make a move on you?"
This question was peculiar. They had already reached a point where one of them had to die, so what was impossible?
Yan Jue was extremely impatient.
"Min Min, stop wasting your breath with him."
"Ye, since you're so heartbroken over Ye Die, I'll send you down to reunite with her."
Yan Jue's long sword pointed directly at Ye Fengxing's neck, just a fraction of a millimeter away from slicing his skin.
"Forget it," Tang Xiao Min stopped Yan Jue and took his hand.
This action made Yan Jue frown deeply.
"What, you pity him?"
"No, I just think that sometimes, living is more painful than dying. Let's go."
Tang Xiao Min's reason was not very convincing. Under her persistent insistence, Yan Jue let Ye Fengxing go.
As they left, Yan Jue's handsome face was etched with "I'm unhappy."
It was already past midnight, and the sky was pitch black. They were in an unknown suburban area, with an old multi-story building behind them. Sudan Novel Network.
Tang Xiao Min gestured for Zhong Li to get into Tang Ye's car, while she would ride with Yan Jue in a separate car.
Yan Jue lit a cigarette and stared out the window without a word.
Even so, one of his hands rested on Tang Xiao Min's seat, unwilling to neglect her.
Yan Jue's temper was already bad, and now that Tang Xiao Min had repeatedly prevented him from taking Ye Fengxing's life, it made him angry and he couldn't help but overthink.
Did Tang Xiao Min have feelings for Ye Fengxing, which was why she felt pity for him?
Even members of the Tang family, she could ruthlessly torment their bodies.
Ye Fengxing was the only exception.
Tang Xiao Min tilted her head, looking at Yan Jue's profile. She knew he was unhappy.
"Thanks to you for saving me this time, what reward do you want?"
"Shall I kiss you, or perhaps we can go on a date?"
Yan Jue frowned.
"I don't want anything right now. I just want to kill Ye Fengxing."
Given Tang Xiao Min's temperament, anyone who dared to harm her even a little, she would take their life.
Yan Jue even suspected that Tang Xiao Min had developed feelings for Ye Fengxing.
"Calm down, let me finish speaking first."
Tang Xiao Min dotingly stroked Yan Jue's head.
When a beast is angry, one just needs to stroke it gently.
As expected, Yan Jue sighed, and his expression softened.
"No matter what your reasons are, you should understand that I cannot tolerate any flaws. Your leniency towards Ye Fengxing is absolutely unbearable for me."
"I won't blame you, and I can't bear to blame you. I just want to kill him."
To Yan Jue, all the fault lay solely with Ye Fengxing.
*Poof...*
Seeing Yan Jue's jealous expression at this moment, Tang Xiao Min couldn't help but laugh.
She actually enjoyed this feeling, thinking she was truly heartless.
"In time, he'll die of old age on his own. Why bother with him?"
"I can't wait that long."
Looking at Yan Jue's serious and wronged expression, Tang Xiao Min couldn't bear to see him like that any longer.
"Last time I was abroad, President Pan invited me to his house. I made an astonishing discovery."
"President Pan's house had several robots. I heard his sister, Pan Jie, say they were the highest technology from President Pan's technology company. They called those things Robot War Gods, embedded with a miniature nuclear reactor for power."
"I suspect Ye Fengxing is secretly colluding with President Pan. And what does President Pan intend to do by creating such terrifying things?"
