Chen Ning was inherently suspicious. Even if Li Moli wasn't affected by this, Chen Ning would definitely be wary of her.

If any internal troubles were to arise, Li Moli would be the first person suspected.

In that case, Jiang Peng's goal would be achieved.

"As long as you don't spread this matter, I won't talk nonsense," Jiang Peng directly stated his thoughts.

He didn't want to push Li Moli to a point of no return. If there was room for negotiation, that would certainly be best.

"Do you think I'm as bored as you are?" Li Moli coldly retorted.

As the two were talking, Yuan Chen, who had been fine moments before, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Instantly, everyone's attention returned to Yuan Chen.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xiaoyao looked at Yuan Chen with a worried expression, then helped him to sit down on the sofa.

Yuan Chen paused for a moment before speaking, "Xiaoyao, my time is running out."

"How can that be?" Yuan Xiaoyao was somewhat bewildered, clearly not knowing what was happening.

Yuan Chen was about to say something when Li Moli interrupted him.

"Yuan Chen, you can fool Xiaoyao, but you can't fool me. Still trying to use your old tricks, feigning pity to gain sympathy? You deceived Qiqi, and now you want to deceive your daughter?"

As she said these words, one could clearly sense Li Moli's anger.

Although Yuan Mu Ye wasn't clear about the specific circumstances of that year, based on what Li Moli had said before, this Yuan Chen was definitely a ruthless person.

Willing to descend into the path of evil spirits in order to stop those evil spirits.

Based on this alone, it was something that ordinary people couldn't do.

Yuan Chen looked at Li Moli with an innocent expression, his tone low, "I didn't. As for what happened in the past, I really don't remember."

His one sentence, "I don't remember," directly left Li Moli speechless.

After a good while, Li Moli finally opened her mouth to warn, "I don't care whether you remember or not, if you dare to deceive Xiaoyao, I will never let you go."

Li Moli always felt that she owed Li Qiqi. If it weren't because Yuan Xiaoyao wanted to follow Yuan Mu Ye, Li Moli would definitely have kept Yuan Xiaoyao by her side, treating her as her own daughter. 138 Reading Network

She had already been taken advantage of by Yuan Chen once, so she didn't want to be taken advantage of again.

"If Xiaoyao is really my daughter, how could I possibly deceive her?" Yuan Chen said with a sincere expression.

Anyone who didn't know the truth would definitely believe him when they saw him like this.

Li Moli grunted, clearly not believing his words. She then walked to Yuan Xiaoyao's side and reminded her, "Before you've completely confirmed his identity, don't trust his words too much. Even if you confirm it, you still can't trust him too much. Remember, your maternal grandfather's family was killed by this man."

Bringing up this matter again might be a bit cruel to Yuan Xiaoyao, but it was the truth. Therefore, Li Moli hoped that Yuan Xiaoyao would always remember this and not forget it.

Yuan Xiaoyao sighed helplessly. She had finally found her long-awaited biological father, but as a result, she had to face the cruel reality that her biological father was the murderer who killed her maternal grandfather's family.

"I understand, Aunt Moli."

Because Li Moli had urgent matters to deal with, she didn't stay for too long. After giving Yuan Xiaoyao a few more instructions, she left directly.

As she left, Li Moli left Jiang Peng with a sentence, "Don't go back!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Peng knew what was up. In fact, from the moment Yuan Mu Ye had him call Li Moli, he hadn't thought about going back.

After Li Moli left, Yuan Mu Ye didn't let Jiang Peng be idle. Instead, he sent him out to scout out the situation.

The current Yun City was a place where dragons and tigers were hidden. Who knew when it would blow up?

Jiang Peng felt like a tool, without even the qualifications to take action.

"If there's any situation, be sure to notify me immediately. Don't act smart," Yuan Mu Ye reminded him.

Jiang Peng hummed in agreement, not saying much, and left directly.

Now, only the few of them were left.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at Yuan Xiaoyao, wanting to know what this girl was thinking now.

"Xiaoyao, what are your plans next?" Yuan Mu Ye was afraid that Yuan Xiaoyao wouldn't continue to stay in the jade stone world.

Yuan Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Big Brother, don't worry, I definitely won't do anything that you don't want me to do."

She knew that Yuan Mu Ye was concerned about her, and she wouldn't let someone who cared about her down.

Yuan Mu Ye was also stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that Yuan Xiaoyao could still be so rational at this time. It seemed that this little girl had really grown up, and Yuan Mu Ye was very gratified.

As they were talking, a burst of urgent knocking suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the silence of the moment.

Yuan Mu Ye looked at the time. It was impossible for Li Pang Pang to be back at this hour, and Li Pang Pang had a key.

So who was knocking on the door now?

"Mu Ye?" Liang Sen Cheng called out to him when he saw that Yuan Mu Ye wasn't moving.

"I'll go open the door."

Yuan Mu Ye walked behind the door, but didn't rush to open it. Instead, he asked, "Who is it?"

The person outside the door didn't respond to him, and continued to knock on the door on their own.

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Because there wasn't a peephole, there was no way to see who was outside the door.

"If you knock on the door again, don't blame me for being impolite," Yuan Mu Ye warned in a stern voice.

However, the person acted as if they hadn't heard him, and the knocking was still urgent.

Helpless, Yuan Mu Ye could only open the door.

But what he didn't expect was that the one knocking wasn't a person, but a hand suspended in mid-air.

This hand looked incredibly pale, and its slender fingers were stained with blood.

At this moment, the lights in the corridor also flickered on and off.

Yuan Mu Ye was shocked. A hand could come out to work?

In his shock, this hand suddenly grabbed Yuan Mu Ye's clothes.

"Fuck!" Yuan Mu Ye forcefully grabbed the hand and threw it to the ground, stomping on it with all his might.

Despite the severed hand being dirty from being stepped on, it didn't affect its actions in the slightest.

The severed hand quickly flew into the air again, then stretched out its middle finger at Yuan Mu Ye.

Yuan Mu Ye naturally knew what this gesture meant.

"Very good!"

Yuan Mu Ye directly drew the dagger he carried with him and threw it at the severed hand.

This was the first time he had been despised by something that wasn't human.

He didn't expect the severed hand to react so quickly, wanting to escape.

But how could Yuan Mu Ye give it a chance to escape!

Under Yuan Mu Ye's control, the dagger directly pierced the palm of the severed hand. Following this, a stream of red liquid gushed out from the palm, almost splashing onto Yuan Mu Ye.

After being stabbed by the dagger, the fingers of the severed hand were still twitching non-stop.

Yuan Mu Ye walked over and carefully examined the severed hand. For some reason, he actually felt that this severed hand looked a bit familiar.

"Let go of me!" The severed hand suddenly spoke.
