In the night, the dark and gloomy manor was akin to the mouth of an enormous beast.
The manor was vast but barren. Rumors claimed not even a blade of grass grew in Yin Yuerong's manor due to the giant poisonous laboratory inside of it.
Everyone in the manor stood in their spots with their heads downcast and their expressions numb and icy. They were like lifeless puppets.
The entire manor was as dead silent as a graveyard without a decibel of noise.
Lin Que followed behind Si Yehan with great trepidation. "Ninth Brother, how about I wait outside for you?"
"Sure, but I can't guarantee your safety once you leave my line of sight," Si Yehan replied.
"Nevermind nevermind, I'll follow you! I'll follow you! Ninth Brother, go more slowly. Don't leave me behind..."
...
Inside the conference room:
When a servant brought them tea, Lin Que hastily picked up the cup and gulped some tea down out of nervousness but spat it all out a second later. "Cough cough cough..."
He was truly mad for daring to drink something here.
If he was killed by poison, where would he go to seek justice?!
After waiting a while, Yin Yuerong didn't appear but another person arrived.
"Yin Heng..." Lin Que became cautious the second he saw the newcomer.
The newcomer was dressed in a casual leisurely outfit, and his martial expertise could be seen from his actions. A young servant trailed behind him.
Bang... A soft sound came from Si Yehan setting his teacup back on the table.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the living room chilled in the blink of an eye.
Swish!
In the next second, Yin Heng slapped the servant's face before Si Yehan could do anything. The servant's cheek swelled greatly and a front tooth fell out.
"What insolence! Get out! Who allowed you to act so rudely toward Eldest Brother?" Yin Heng angrily admonished.
"Yes..." The servant retreated, aggrieved.
Lin Que pursed his lips. "How pretentious... It's not like Auntie Rong is here; who are you acting for?"
