Yun Jianzhong felt no relief at all. Just as he lifted his foot, he involuntarily bent over, his expression contorted in pain.
After recovering from the piercing agony, he looked back at the woman, his eyes blazing as if he could devour her.
"Sir, someone has broken in outside. We weren't prepared. We need to evacuate immediately!"
Seeing that his master had no sense of the danger, the bodyguard quickly spoke, his voice trembling with urgency.
What woman could he worry about now? Escaping was paramount! Besides, that woman was already as good as dead!
He didn't understand why his master was torturing a woman like that, but he couldn't move without his master's command!
"What did you say?"
Yun Jianzhong's face turned sinister, his voice becoming much more terrifying. The bodyguard, his legs shaking, repeated himself.
"Someone has broken in outside and will be here soon. Sir, we must leave quickly! And you are injured, you need treatment urgently!"
"Leave? How can we leave? This bitch injured me. How can I let her get away with it so easily? Even if I die, I'll make sure she can't rest in peace!"
Yun Jianzhong slowly squatted down, extending his other hand to violently grip Tong Muqing's chin, his face contorted with ferocity. "Do you want to know what I'm going to do?"
Despite his terrifying expression, Tong Muqing showed no fear. Instead, she let out a laugh, "Yun Jianzhong... your retribution is coming soon... I'll be waiting!"
She had also heard the bodyguard's words, so she guessed that his enemies had come to take revenge. If Yun Jianzhong met his doom today, she and her brother would have a companion on the road to the underworld...
Yun Jianzhong let out a cold laugh, "You should worry about yourself first!"
After a pause, Yun Jianzhong suddenly released his rough hand, revealing a smile like that of an elder brother. "Do you know how our father died?"
This single sentence sent a chill through Tong Muqing's entire body. She gasped, looking at him in disbelief, "Yun Jianzhong... what are you trying to say?!"
She couldn't believe it. This man had actually acted against his own kin. It was one thing for them, his half-brothers and sisters, but... that was his father. How could he?
However... she suddenly remembered that her father had been in good health before his death.
This was why she had dared to go out. When her father couldn't hold on, her grief was mixed with suspicion, but it was all overshadowed by the subsequent events.
She could never have imagined that Yun Jianzhong would kill his own father!
"Yun Jianzhong, you are not human!"
This man was a devil, worse than any beast!
Overcome with rage, Tong Muqing's mouth bled continuously, and her body convulsed...
Yun Jianzhong burst into laughter, "That's right, I am a vengeful spirit, here to claim what is owed. When I appeared at your doorstep, it was to get revenge. Do you think I went in for anything else? Huh? Hahaha...
Tong Muqing glared at him with burning hatred. She truly regretted why their family had taken in this ungrateful wretch. If not for him, their family would still be living happily.
Instead... they had all met such a fate!
Even if she and her brother died today... they would not die in peace!
"Do you think Father didn't notice anything back then?"
Yun Jianzhong's words were laced with cruelty, each one a slow torture to Tong Muqing's heart.
"He knew something, which is why he sent that boy Yun Zhihuan away. And you... with how much he doted on you, why did he never keep you at home once he knew you had fallen for a poor boy? He was trying to protect you!"
After speaking for so long, Yun Jianzhong was also a little out of breath. Fortunately, the woman had lost her strength, and the dagger hadn't been inserted too deeply. Otherwise, he might not have been able to stand here at all!
"It's a shame! Although he noticed, it was too late! After all, who could have imagined that their own son, who usually served tea and poured water, would stab him in the back! Hahaha..."
As for why his father didn't tell them later, it was partly because he was critically ill, and secondly, he had warned him! He never expected that his usually decisive father would choose to remain silent. Truly "loving" them!
But dying early or late, it was all the same!
Now he was suffering a painful death, but... as long as they were not happy, he would be content!
At this moment, blood began to stream from Tong Muqing's eyes, mixing with her tears and flowing down her neck...
"Bang~"
A gunshot echoed through the sky...
Qi Jiayou, leading his men, strode in, his gun aimed at the people inside. His magnetic, cold voice carried no warmth.
"All of you, drop your weapons!"
Yun Jianzhong finally stood up and looked at the newcomer, his expression cunning and sly. "I was wondering who it was. So it's the famous Mr. Qi. May I ask the reason for your esteemed visit?"
Qi Jiayou sneered, "I've come to take two people away. Please cooperate, Mr. Yun. Go!"
As he spoke, three people immediately came out from behind him. Two of them picked up the two lying on the ground, while one walked up to Yun Jianzhong, pressing the muzzle of his gun to his temple.
"Move quickly!"
The man roughly pulled Yun Jianzhong towards Qi Jiayou.
However, Qi Jiayou's pupils suddenly contracted. He had only seen Yun Zhihuan lying on the ground just now, but the people carrying him were clearly... And Tong Muqing was in this state...
On the other side, Xuan Mohan's heart tightened. He clenched his fist, not expecting it to come to this. How would he explain? How would Qianqian accept it later?
The thought of Lan Qianqian possibly suffering made him feel suffocated.
"Mo... keep this a secret for now."
He would have to tell her later, but... not now!
"Mm." No matter what, he couldn't let her know. He would handle the funeral arrangements for Aunt Tong and Yun Zhihuan in her stead...
Yun Jianzhong walked along with them, his head bowed, lost in thought...
"I advise you not to put up a futile struggle, Mr. Yun. My men are not something your few people can contend with!"
Qi Jiayou said imperiously.
He hadn't been polite since entering. If he hadn't considered that his people would arrive later, he would have dealt with these individuals directly!
If one had no dealings with people like this, they could coexist peacefully, but if they did, then... a confrontation was inevitable!
A trace of venom flashed in Yun Jianzhong's eyes. After a few seconds of internal struggle, he raised his head and smiled.
"Mr. Qi, what are you talking about? It's just two people. Take them if you want. If I had known they belonged to Mr. Qi, I would have handed them over!"
Qi Jiayou had no time for his nonsense, and besides... Tong Muqing was fading fast.
"Take them away!"
With Qi Jiayou's command, everyone began to withdraw.
He hadn't expected that even this late at night, Yun Jianzhong would still be in the basement. He was truly a ruthless character!
