Meng Qi heard the movement behind her and knew Lu Yushan was at a disadvantage. She didn't dare turn her head, trembling with fear, and instinctively took a step back.
Bowing and scraping, she begged Qin Si Ye, "Brother Si Ye, I- I didn't do anything. It was Bai Lin, no, it was Lu Yushan who used me, who forced me."
"Don't call me that," Qin Si Ye shouted at her in a chilling voice, raising his phone. "I heard every word you said in this room. Don't try to quibble any longer!"
With that, he mercilessly kicked her several meters away. He then strode towards Yin Xi. Yin Xi was pulling Lu Yushan's hair, her fists flying towards her face.
"Lu Yushan, you venomous b\*tch, do you really think you're so smart? Everything you've played at, I've played better. To tell you the truth, I suspected you long ago. Your maid, A Zhen, I'd already bought her over. She's been feeding you false information. My moving out of Xing Lan Bay was also part of a plan, a strategy we designed beforehand, she and I."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yushan raised her swollen face, looking at Yin Xi in disbelief.
"What are you looking at? You wanted my life? You couldn't even spit properly at your wretched face. If not for the law keeping me in check, I'd have cut you into pieces right now." Yin Xi said, then delivered another punch, knocking her to the ground. This was the first time in her life she had used profanity. She used to think people who swore were of low character. Now she understood it was just a way to vent emotions. Sometimes, when pushed to the brink, letting out a curse felt incredibly satisfying.
Seeing her trembling all over, raging with anger, Qin Si Ye's heart ached. He pulled her into his arms, gently tilting her head to examine her face closely from all angles. "Xi Xi, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"No," Yin Xi replied, breathing heavily. "When did you get here?"
"When Qian Feng left here," Qin Si Ye answered.
"Oh. It seems all the recordings are done," Yin Xi said thoughtfully. "Han Hao Ming came too, didn't he?"
"Yes. He's outside in the courtyard," Qin Si Ye replied, his gaze lingering on her reddened neck.
"Alright. Hand these two over to the police. Let's go." Yin Xi pulled his hand, intending to leave.
"Wait," Qin Si Ye said, resisting her pull without budging. "Your hatred has been somewhat appeased, but my hatred has not been released even a little."
With that, he released Yin Xi's hand and slowly approached Lu Yushan. The immense pressure forced Lu Yushan to hug her knees and curl into a ball.
"I've never hit a woman in my life, but it seems I'll have to break that rule twice today." As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yushan was sent flying by a kick, hitting the wall on the right with a loud thud.
"Ouch!" A painful scream from Lu Yushan echoed from inside the room. After a while, she slowly sat up, enduring the pain all over her body, and let out a sneer at Qin Si Ye, "If you have the guts... if you have the guts, kill me right now."
Hearing this, Qin Si Ye's anger intensified. He suddenly pulled a dagger from his person and strode towards her. Seeing this, Yin Xi quickly stepped forward, spreading her arms to stop him. "Si Ye, calm down. That's her trying to provoke you."
Qin Si Ye stopped, his gaze icy, gritting his teeth. "Thinking about what this b\*tch has done, I wish I could tear her into a thousand pieces."
"She has a murder charge against her, and with our recordings today, that's enough to sentence her to death," Yin Xi said, looking at him with a calm expression.
Qin Si Ye, however, countered, "For a woman as insidious and cruel as her, that kind of death is too easy. She should suffer more physical pain."
Her beautiful dark eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared on Yin Xi's face. "That's easy. Leave it to me." She then took a silver needle from her person and turned towards Lu Yushan.
The next moment, Lu Yushan collapsed on the ground, writhing and yelping non-stop.
