Lu Sisi was clearly struggling for her life, but she still used her own methods to cause trouble for Tang Xiaomin.
Although no one spoke, the evidence was insufficient, based solely on Tang Xiaomin's one-sided account.
The Tang family members found it difficult to believe.
Especially Zhang Meiyu, who had witnessed Tang Xiaomin's ruthlessness firsthand. Now, watching Tang Xiaomin abuse a girl her own age in front of her, she felt a suffocating unease.
It wasn't just her; the rest of the Tang family felt the same.
No one wants to have a psychopathic murderer in their life; it's only natural.
Zhang Meiyu said, "Xiaomin, Tang Xu's death has grieved us all. You're a child who clearly distinguishes between love and hate. Tang Xu died because of you, and I understand your desire for revenge."
"But Lu Sisi refuses to admit it. Could there possibly be a misunderstanding?"
Tang Xiaomin sneered, "A misunderstanding?"
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
Lu Sisi's face immediately broke into a triumphant smile.
She was right to stubbornly refuse to admit anything.
Tang Xiaomin had already anticipated Lu Sisi's intentions.
"Seeing my family doubt me makes you happy, doesn't it?"
"I don't blame them for not knowing the whole truth. After all, they're all a bit slow on the uptake."
With one sentence, she insulted her entire family.
Yes, they so easily fell for simple attempts at sowing discord; it was indeed a sign of their poor judgment.
Tang Xiaomin looked at the Tang family members with disdain.
A single glance was enough for them to lower their heads in shame, unable to utter a word, nor daring to refute Tang Xiaomin at this moment.
"Lu Sisi, I won't let you gloat for too long. I have plenty of ways to make you confess your crimes yourself."
Lu Sisi stared defiantly at Tang Xiaomin. No matter how Tang Xiaomin tortured her, she would never confess, even if it meant her death.
She would drag Tang Xiaomin down with her, no matter what.
Just as Lu Sisi made up her mind and the situation reached a stalemate, someone suddenly appeared.
"Sisi! What are you doing here?"
The newcomer was Lu Zelei. He had come to find Tang Xiaomin.
He hadn't expected to see Lu Sisi here, and in such a pitiful state.
Lu Sisi was still at home when he left. Clearly, something had happened to her shortly after he departed.
"Brother... why are you here!"
Lu Zelei's sudden appearance made Lu Sisi panic completely.
He shouldn't have come.
Lu Sisi glared venomously at Tang Xiaomin.
"Tang Xiaomin, if you have a problem, come at me alone. Don't involve my brother!"
Seeing Lu Sisi's panicked state, Tang Xiaomin smiled.
"Weren't you so spirited before? Why are you flustered and scared now?"
How could she not be scared?
Lu Sisi had only Lu Zelei, her only sibling, the most important person in each other's lives.
She would rather suffer herself than have her brother implicated because of her.
"Brother, don't mind me, hurry and leave! Leave now!"
Lu Sisi screamed with all her might, hoping Lu Zelei would leave quickly.
But how could Lu Zelei stand by and watch Lu Sisi be abused by Tang Xiaomin without intervening?
Although he was alone, he didn't fear the entire Tang family and bravely stepped forward.
"Tang Xiaomin, don't push your luck too far. Let my sister go!"
Initially, Lu Zelei didn't want to believe that Tang Xiaomin would target Lu Sisi and injure her so severely.
But seeing it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe. Su Dan Novel Network
Tang Xiaomin said coldly, "If I let your sister go, who will pay for Tang Xu's life?
Lu Zelei was bewildered and frowned.
"Tang Xu was hit by Zhang Guo'er, what does Sisi have to do with it? Don't think you can bully people just because you're powerful."
"Heh... nothing to do with it. Well said, 'nothing to do with it.' Lu Sisi has always said the same thing."
Did they think that by being stubborn, they could cover up Lu Sisi's crimes?
Tang Xiaomin indeed released Lu Sisi and said coldly.
"Since you say it has nothing to do with you, then you can go."
"Ah?"
Lu Sisi was stunned.
It was incredible that Tang Xiaomin, who had meticulously kidnapped her to Tang Xu's grave, would let her go so easily.
However, since she was allowed to leave, she certainly wouldn't stay to be beaten by Tang Xiaomin any longer.
She quickly got up from the ground and stumbled towards Lu Zelei.
Just as she was a step away from Lu Zelei.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, Lu Zelei's body was sent flying several meters and slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Brother!"
Lu Sisi screamed and rushed towards Lu Zelei.
Suddenly, her eyes widened in terror, and she stopped in her tracks.
"Tang Xiaomin, what are you doing?"
From a distance, Tang Xiaomin held a gun. She released the safety in front of Lu Sisi and pointed the muzzle at the fallen Lu Zelei.
"Lu Sisi, tell me clearly how you drove Zhang Guo'er insane, step by step. Otherwise, I'll kill him! I'll let you experience the pain of your own brother dying because of you."
"Tang Xiaomin, how dare you!"
"Aren't you afraid of breaking the law by doing this?"
"Even if you're not afraid of breaking the law, how dare you kill someone in front of your parents and brother!"
Was this a threat?
It likely was.
The Tang family members weren't seeing Tang Xiaomin kill for the first time. They were familiar with the scene of her killing with a swift stroke.
Although the memory still sent shivers down their spines, as time passed, they had gradually grown accustomed to the feeling, and it wasn't as terrifying anymore.
To uncover the truth, Tang Yu said, "Lu Sisi, our Tang family is a prominent one. Do you really think all our wealth was earned legitimately?"
"Haven't you heard that all the ways to get rich are written in the criminal law?"
Tang Yu's words revealed a great deal of information.
Under threat, Lu Sisi lost her ability to reason.
After hearing Tang Yu's words, she recognized a terrifying fact.
That was that the Tang family might have committed many acts of disregard for human life for the sake of money in the past.
"You... all of you are not good people. You are all murderers, you are all demons!"
Like mother, like daughter. A family that could raise a devil like Tang Xiaomin, how could they be good people?
Lu Sisi despaired, looking breakdown at Lu Zelei, whose head was at gunpoint, not far away.
Should she save him, or not?
If she didn't save him, Tang Xiaomin would kill her after killing Lu Zelei.
If she saved her brother, Tang Xiaomin might only kill her as compensation.
The choice was clear.
Lu Zelei said unwillingly, "Tang Xiaomin, it's easy to find an excuse to accuse someone. What's the point of extracting a confession under duress like this?"
Tang Xiaomin sneered inwardly.
"Whether it's a confession under duress or not will soon be revealed. I believe you are also very curious about what Lu Sisi has been doing behind your back."
