The Yue family, having experienced so much previously, truly ought to have a grand celebration for such joyous news and to liven things up.
They would soon be busy again, but the two elder brothers were excited and enthusiastic to be busy with their younger brother’s wedding.
Meanwhile, the groom-to-be was still placating his beloved wife, “It’s alright, it was just a minor hiccup. Everything went smoothly, and that’s what matters.”
“I know.” Yu Zixuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of resentment. The happier she had been when they got their marriage license, the angrier she was now.
If she had known this would happen, she should have dealt with Yu Linwan, the fake daughter, completely back then!
“There, there!” Yue Chengfeng lifted Yu Zixuan’s chin with his fingertips, kissed her forehead, and then pulled her into his embrace, whispering sweet nothings.
It took a while before Yu Zixuan finally showed a shy, bashful smile.
At this time, Yu Linwan was not idle either. She directly contacted someone she had been in touch with, “I want to kill someone.”
“Who has upset you?” a synthesized voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Xia Qingtian!” Yu Linwan’s eyes were dark. “If possible, kill that Yu Zixuan as well!”
These two wretched women deserved to die!
The person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a long time after hearing Yu Linwan’s words.
“What? You can’t do it?” Yu Linwan frowned in displeasure.
“Killing them isn’t difficult, but it’s not suitable right now,” the synthesized voice replied. “Perhaps after some time…”
“After some time? No! Now!” Yu Linwan paced her room irritably. “That Xia Qingtian must die!”
“She wasn’t going to live much longer anyway; someone had already set their sights on her. It’s just that she has some connection with the Young Master now,” the synthesized voice said hesitantly.
“Young Master?” Yu Linwan raised her eyebrows slightly. “What’s so great about that? My project is also favored by the Young Master, and besides, I have someone from the Young Master’s side with me!”
Currently, Mo Jianing trusted her the most.
Although she hadn’t figured out Mo Jianing’s relationship with the Young Master, the fact that the Young Master specifically mentioned her meant she was undoubtedly extraordinary.
If she could control Mo Jianing, she wasn't afraid of not being able to connect with the Young Master!
Yu Linwan felt that if even Xia Qingtian and Mo Jianing could catch the Young Master’s eye, she would be even better than those two.
Listening to the smugness and confidence in Yu Linwan’s tone, the voice on the other end of the phone fell silent for a long time before finally saying, “Alright, I’ll make arrangements on my end. The deed will be done within three days at the latest.”
“Three days?” Yu Linwan raised her eyebrows slightly, finding three days a bit long. But thinking of the involvement of the Young Master, she agreed, “Okay, then I’ll await your good news.”
“It should be me awaiting your good news,” the synthesized voice on the other end chuckled. “I’m not there, so I can only arrange personnel to meet you. You’ll be the one in charge, but rest assured, the people I’m sending you are all elites.”
“Then… alright.” Yu Linwan gave a smug smile after responding, then hung up the phone.
This was for the best; she would personally take Xia Qingtian’s life, which would be even more satisfying!
She would watch as that wretched woman crawled before her, begging for mercy until her death!
Thinking of this, Yu Linwan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
On the other side of the phone, a slender, elegant hand reached out to the computer and pressed the button to close the synthesized voice software, then took off the headphones and casually tossed them aside.
She smoothed her long, wavy hair that cascaded over her shoulders before standing up.
“The fake daughter you’ve been wooing from the Yu family?” A man placed his water glass on the table and pushed it towards her. “She wants to kill Xia Qingtian and Ling Lan? Gou Wen, have you really decided to help her?”
“Isn’t this perfect?” Gou Wen picked up the water glass and took a sip, chuckling softly. “I was dozing off, and someone handed me a pillow.”
“Xia Qingtian’s relationship with the Young Master hasn’t been clarified yet. If we rashly make a move against her, we might anger the Young Master,” the man hesitated. “Besides, Ling Lan is someone the organization is greatly nurturing. If you kill her…”
“Are you meeting me for the first time?” Gou Wen placed the glass on the table’s edge, her fingertips tracing the rim. A lazy, beautiful smile played on her lips. “I don’t mind supporting new talent. If you give me my sister, I’ll naturally make way. Otherwise… as long as I’m alive, they won’t succeed. If you have the guts, deal with me first.”
“You…” The man knew Gou Wen’s personality too well and realized further persuasion was useless, so he could only sigh and shake his head. “Be clean with your actions. If it’s found out, with the Young Master’s temper, no one can protect you.”
“Tch.” Gou Wen let out a scoff. “This is the first time you’re wearing a suit, and I tied your tie. The first shot you fired, I loaded the bullet for you, and I chambered the round… Back then, I wondered when you’d be able to stand on your own, if you’d even live to adulthood… Now, after only a few years, you’re already worrying if I’m doing things cleanly enough.”
“Don’t think I’m being meddlesome. I was the only one you were assigned to who survived. You know better than anyone how dangerous it is now,” the man moved the cup from Gou Wen’s hand, his clear eyes looking directly at her. “I know you’re gambling with your remaining time, but… is it worth it? Your sister might already be dead, you…”
With a swish, Gou Wen’s arm drew an arc in the air, and the next moment, the tip of a cold blade pressed against the man’s carotid artery. Her usually alluring and lazy eyes turned sharp. “Tang Ruiyang, this is a warning. There won’t be a next time.”
Her sister was still alive.
Back then, amidst the burnt corpses, the first thing she knew was that Shen Ying was not among them. Her sister was still alive.
From then on, finding Shen Ying was the only belief that kept her alive.
She had undertaken so many, so many missions, just to find Shen Ying.
Now that she was poisoned and dying, they wanted to kick her aside?
Sorry, she dared to use the name Gou Wen, which meant she had no intention of obediently complying with their wishes and dying quietly in some secluded spot!
If they pushed her too far, there was nothing she wouldn’t dare to do.
Feeling the cold sting at her neck, Tang Ruiyang knew Gou Wen was not joking. He opened his mouth, then slowly closed it, a playful smile appearing on his face. “I remember.”
Only then did Gou Wen flip her wrist and withdraw her short blade. “I met Ah Hu today. He hasn’t contacted Ah Long yet, and he doesn’t know where Ah Long took the Tang family’s Ming Zhu. As for the whereabouts of the Tang family’s Yin Zhu, he hasn’t heard the Tang family’s Ming Zhu mention it, but your cheap father should know. He was almost the Tang family’s Ming Zhu back then.”
“I’ll go ask him,” Tang Ruiyang clicked his tongue. “The Tang family is rotten to the core. It’s meaningless.”
“Don’t let your guard down. Those old guys who left the Tang family in the early years are not to be trifled with,” Gou Wen reminded him.
“Don’t worry, I know,” Tang Ruiyang replied, then put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the bar, asking, “The medicine, did you take it?”
“Mmm.” Gou Wen lowered her gaze slightly. “The poison has been acting up frequently recently.”
“Naturally,” Tang Ruiyang reached out and took Gou Wen’s wrist, his fingertips probing her pulse. He took a deep breath before replying, “You don’t have much time left. If you stop the medication now, it’s still not too late.”
Using poison to suppress poison was, in itself, a gamble with one’s life, destroying her own foundation.
“How much time do I have left?” Gou Wen looked up at Tang Ruiyang.
“At most half a year, at least less than a hundred days.”
