No mercy!

"From the moment you had evil thoughts in your heart, you have committed a grave sin. If you have any grudges, go and settle them with Lin Yiqing. It was she who brought you to this end."

"Woo..." The man vomited blood again, his pupils gradually dilated and lost their luster.

The flame of life was extinguished.

The poison prepared by Ye Yunzi was extremely toxic and could kill a person soon after taking it.

After the man died, Ye Yunzi quietly left the room and gently closed the door.

The courtyard was silent, with no one passing by. Lin Yiqing's meticulous arrangements had inadvertently given her convenience.

No one witnessed her poisoning, and no one saw her enter here.

"Zhilan!" Ye Yunzi left in a hurry, her eyes full of worry, "Where did they hide you?"

Zhilan has some martial arts skills for self-defense, and ordinary people can't do anything to her. Even if Lin Yiqing wants to make a move, he won't let Zhilan surrender... What's the secret behind this?

Ye Yunzi's mood to attend the party had long since disappeared. She walked to every corner of the mansion, just to find any clues about Zhilan.

……

"Woo woo!" Inside the house, a woman was tied up on a chair with a cloth ball in her mouth. She cried out to the sky and the earth but no one answered her.

The woman stared fiercely at the person not far away with a look of displeasure on her face.

Her clothes were disheveled and covered in dust, and the earring in her right ear was missing. She looked extremely disheveled.

In the spacious and bright study, books are neatly arranged on the shelves, and the air is filled with the faint scent of ink.

However, in such an elegant place, on a precious huanghuali wood chair, a woman was tied up, struggling and trying to escape.

"..."

She stared at the man opposite her who looked like a fairy from heaven. He was very graceful and his white clothes made him look even more handsome.

It’s Shen Siyan, the head of the Shen family.

Shen Siyan's appearance would make anyone's heart ripple. He was such a demon-like existence. At this moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of coolness in his smile.

"Do you think you can easily trick me by following me? You underestimate your own mediocre skills." He said lightly.

Zhilan's eyes darkened, and a strange light flashed in her dark eyes.

There was a narrow knife hidden in her sleeve, and she was quietly rubbing it against the ropes, trying to cut the restraints.

As soon as the thought came to her mind, Shen Siyan approached her and grabbed her wrist. The dull sound was as if the bones would break if he exerted a little force.

He pulled out the hidden knife from her hand, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes, "As expected of a well-trained assassin, you are the best in terms of wit and cunning... As long as I give you an order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"What is your mission?"

There was a hint of danger in Shen Siyan's eyes, and the indifferent smile from before disappeared without a trace, replaced by bone-chilling coldness. Looking at him, it was as if one had fallen into an endless cold hell.

Zhilan shuddered subconsciously, her pupils trembling slightly, "I didn't accept any mission!"

She was just accompanying the young lady into the mansion, and when she saw someone doing something bad to the young lady, she wanted to teach that guy a lesson. But she didn't expect that she would be intercepted by this gentleman and brought to this unknown corner.

But we must not drag the young lady into this mess. If this guy has bad intentions towards the young lady, it will be a big trouble.

Zhilan's mind raced, her eyes became extremely firm. If anyone wanted to beat or punish her, just come after her alone. No matter what, the young lady would not be implicated!

"..."

Shen Siyan's hand slowly stretched out, getting closer and closer to Zhilan's face. His hand was white and slender, almost perfect. With a slight hook, it seemed as if he could pick the stars and the moon, not to mention digging out people's eyeballs. He had done such things before, and he had used more cruel methods than this.

Zhilan's breathing tightened and her body trembled involuntarily. An indescribable fear surged in her heart, forcing her to instinctively shrink back.

"Since you are so loyal to your master and willing to take risks, I will fulfill your ambition." Shen Siyan's tone was calm, but suddenly he became imposing.

Outside the courtyard gate, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.

"Zhilan...Zhilan, are you there? If you are, please answer me!" The voice was clear and pleasant, and one could tell who was coming at once.

Shen Siyan paused and glanced outside the door.

"Zhilan..." The calling voice was getting closer and closer, seemingly filled with anxiety.

Zhilan's face changed drastically, and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. She turned her head and secretly glanced at the door, silently saying in her heart: Miss, go away quickly, don't come in!

If the young lady witnessed this scene, I'm afraid she would be in danger.

Don't come in!

"Zhilan?" A figure was reflected on the window paper. Ye Yunzi stood at the door and paused. In the study, Shen Siyan's expression changed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Why did Ye Yunzi appear here? He turned his head and locked his eyes on the tied woman.

"Are you Zhilan?" he asked coldly.

Zhilan shook her head violently. The calmness she had just shown disappeared without a trace, replaced by panic and fear. Her thoughts seemed to be written on her face.

Shen Siyan's eyes darkened and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

……

Ye Yunzi shuttled between courtyards, but could not find any trace of Zhilan.

Zhilan's earrings clearly fell into someone else's hands and must have been confiscated by someone. So... where would she be hidden?

Ye Yunzi gritted her teeth secretly. There was no other way but to search every yard one by one.

If she went to question Lin Yiqing, she would be walking into a trap. Lin Yiqing was a clever guy who would not easily tell the truth, and it might even hurt Zhilan.

"Zhilan, where on earth have you been hiding?"

He had clearly vowed to protect the people around him, but now he still fell into Lin Yiqing's trap.

Ye Yunzi put her hand on the study door handle, her eyelids slightly lowered, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

"..." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he unexpectedly used a little too much force, and the study door creaked open a crack.

She swayed and nearly fell, and finally managed to keep her footing.

When she looked up, she was greeted by the strong scent of ink. She had stumbled into the study of the Marquis's mansion by mistake. The study was spacious and elegant, with books arranged in an orderly manner and paintings and calligraphy by famous artists hanging on the walls. It was a style of literati and scholars, which really surprised her.

"Is this the study room?"

Ye Yunzi looked around. The room was quiet and empty. She no longer had the intention of staying and was about to leave.

Just then, I caught a glimpse of a chair nearby out of the corner of my eye.

The rosewood chair was placed strangely, not facing the desk but facing the open space, as if someone had really been sitting here and talking in a certain direction.

She frowned and walked forward silently, her fingers gently stroking the handle of the chair.

There are obvious wear and tear on both sides of the chair handle. How could such an expensive chair have such marks?
