The city shrouded in darkness seems to hide countless secrets.

But on this quiet night, an undercurrent was surging in the Xiao family's mansion.

What happened in the hospital was like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves, but all of this was suppressed silently.

That night, Xiao Yiqing did not wait for the men she sent to capture Han Shuzhen, but unexpectedly met Song Shaojie.

Her heart beat faster involuntarily, and an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart.

She was dressed up carefully and looked like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

In the backyard, Xiao Yiqing and Song Shaojie confronted each other under the moonlight.

He was no longer the usual playful boy, his eyes were full of seriousness and depth. He asked straight to the point, "What happened in the hospital today was caused by your Xiao family, right?"

Xiao Yiqing's heart tightened. How could Song Shaojie know about this?

She looked at him in confusion, trying to find the answer from his expression. She asked calmly, "Did my plan fail?"

Song Shaojie's eyes flashed with anger, "You are so cruel, she is your sister after all, how could you do that to her?"

"Vicious?" Xiao Yiqing was even more confused.

She had clearly only sent people to capture Han Shuzhen alive, and had no intention of killing her. She looked at Song Shaojie in confusion, wanting to find out the truth of the matter.

"Is Han Shuzhen in danger?"

Song Shaojie took a deep breath and said firmly, "With me here, she will be fine. I came here today to cancel the engagement."

"Break off the engagement?" Xiao Yiqing looked at him in astonishment. "One moment you blame me, and the next moment you want to break off the engagement? What do you mean by this?"

"In short, I won't marry you." Song Shaojie's attitude was extremely firm.

A surge of anger surged in Xiao Yiqing's heart, but she tried to remain calm: "Your engagement with the Xiao family is a major event for both of our families. You can't cancel the engagement unless both mothers agree."

Both mothers?

Xiao Yiqing's mother had passed away long ago.

Asking her to agree, isn't that obviously bullying him?

Song Shaojie was silent for a while, then said, "What do you want in exchange for letting Han Shuzhen go?"

Xiao Yiqing's eyes suddenly became sharp, "You actually care about her so much? Do you like her?"

He knew that the woman in front of him was cruel and ruthless and could do anything. If she knew that the person he really liked was Liu Xiaolan, she would definitely try every means to deal with her.

After thinking for a while, he decided to listen to Shi Zhan's advice.

So he pulled a nice arc at the corner of his mouth, with a relaxed expression, and smiled several times, then looked at her with his buttocks, "You can see all this, yes, I like Shuzhen, and I only recognize her in my marriage with your Xiao family, so, if you dare to do anything to her, I will not let you go!"

Oh my god, what am I talking about?

Oh, Heaven, oh, Earth, please save me!

Shi Zhan, what a stupid idea you came up with. If you can't cancel the engagement with the Xiao family, I will die in front of you...

Song Shaojie ridiculed himself in his heart for what he had just said, but his expression pretended to be extremely firm!

Completely ignoring Xiao Shuzhen's gloomy face, she angrily said, "Song Shaojie, you are so good. I have liked you since I was a child, but you are so ignorant and insult me. Do you think I am a vegetarian?"

Song Shaojie did not expect that Xiao Yiqing would misunderstand that he liked Han Shuzhen, but this just happened to achieve his goal.

He can use this misunderstanding to protect Han Shuzhen.

He took a deep breath and said, "So, don't even think about doing anything to her!"

Xiao Yiqing's face suddenly turned gloomy. "What's so good about her? Is she worthy of your care? You have tried to save her from danger time and time again!"

Song Shaojie didn't answer, but just looked at her deeply, then turned and left.

He knew that it was useless to reason with this woman.

He could only listen to Shi Zhan's way to protect Han Shuzhen.

Song Shaojie's words, like a seed, took root and sprouted in Xiao Yiqing's heart.

Her heart began to become more twisted, and she began to doubt whether she was really inferior to her sister. The more she thought about it, the more she hated her, and the more she hated her, the more she wanted to capture Han Shuzhen and take her back.

And all this is just the beginning... There is a shrewd gleam in Song Shaojie's eyes, like an old fox who is planning something.

His goal was clear, and it was just to break off the engagement from the beginning to the end.

He stared at Xiao Yiqing as if he was examining a piece of waste. "Remember, I do like Shuzhen, and I only recognize her in the Xiao family's marriage. If you dare to do anything to her, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his heart was filled with panic.

He didn't notice at all that Xiao Shuzhen's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

Her anger was like a volcanic eruption, and she couldn't suppress it. "Song Shaojie, you bastard! I have liked you since I was a child, but you treat me like this? Who do you think you are? Do you think you can insult me ​​at will?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Song Shaojie's eyes, and he said coldly, "Shuzhen's identity will be announced to the public tomorrow. She is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. You'd better not act rashly. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" His words were full of warnings and threats.

At this time, Xiao Ran, who was not far away, heard it clearly, and his face was terribly gloomy. He originally planned to walk up to him and question him, but in the end he chose to turn around and leave.

He knew that he needed to stay calm and discuss countermeasures with Taoist Qingfeng.

Song Shaojie caught a glimpse of Xiao Ran's departure from the corner of his eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that everything that happened today was just a warning to the Xiao family.

He ignored Xiao Shuzhen's anger and turned around and left the Xiao family.

Xiao Yiqing was so angry that she could not control herself. The anger in her heart was like a blazing fire that could not be extinguished.

She angrily came to a secret room, and the three young girls there showed looks of horror when they saw her coming.

They shouted at Xiao Yiqing, "Let us out!"

Xiao Yiqing's rage grew even stronger. She picked up an electric baton and hit one of the girls hard.

The screams and the sound of electricity penetrating the body intertwined together, forming a tragic picture.

In that cold and dim secret room, the two girls huddled in the corner like frightened birds. Their bodies were shaking constantly, as if every nerve was screaming with fear.

They bit their lower lips with their teeth, trying their best to suppress the panic in their hearts, for fear of making any sound.

There was an oppressive and heavy silence in the air, with only their rapid breathing and heartbeats echoing.

Xiao Yiqing stood in a corner of the secret room. Her voice was as cold as the winter wind, without a trace of warmth. "If you dare to shout again, her fate will be yours."

Her words were like a sharp sword, pointing directly at the hearts of the two girls.

The two girls followed her line of sight and looked at the girl lying on the ground, breathing weakly. Her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

They knew that if they continued to make trouble, they would become like her.

So, they could only nod their heads desperately, like chicks pecking at rice, to show that they would be obedient.

Seeing the reactions of the two girls, Xiao Yiqing's expression eased slightly.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger. Then she shouted to the door, "Carry her out."

The two bodyguards outside the door responded, walked in, and carried the unconscious girl out.

Watching the girl being carried out, the two girls' eyes were filled with fear. They knew that once the girl was carried out, her fate would become unpredictable.

Xiao Yiqing turned around and looked at the two girls.

A bloodthirsty smile flashed in her eyes, as if she was admiring her own masterpiece.

She walked out of the secret room, and two bodyguards were waiting for her outside. They looked at Xiao Yiqing with awe and obedience in their eyes.

Xiao Yiqing walked up to the girl who had already woken up, looked into her frightened eyes, and said with a smile, "Your mission is to sacrifice your soul to Taoist Qingfeng and use your flesh, blood, and bones to accomplish your merits. This is your eternal mission."

Her voice was gentle yet cruel, as if she was telling a beautiful fairy tale, yet full of cruel reality.
