Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elder Ye knew that Ye Junci had no better option given her position. She had to always put the overall situation first.
He told Ye You softly, “Miss, you have to understand Madam’s position.”
“Elder, you’ve seen the doc.u.ments. You saw how my brothers died! There are even photographs of them. If I were to return today, I’m afraid that I’d only see the tragic look of their deaths in my dreams!” Ye You burst out crying while she spoke.
The loose flesh on Elder Ye’s face trembled, and he looked away from Ye You. “Miss, there are others in the Ye family. Shadow League and Killer Alliance are in cooperation with the Head Elder.”
Of course, Ye You knew how powerful the combined forces of Shadow League and Killer Alliance were. She was completely speechless and she bit her lip tightly.
His words seemed to have hit everyone else hard on the head as well.
It was telling them that if they dared to go against the Head Elder and Leng Xuan today, they were just sending themselves to death.
Everyone exchanged glances and they were clearly moved.
Leng Xuan smirked and looked at Ye Junci. “Madam Ye is the smart one.”
Ye Junci gave a fake smile. “Can the Ye family leave now?”
“Yes.” Leng Xuan raised her brows and continued, “Are you not taking Young Master Lu along with you, Madam Ye?”
Ye Junci stared at her.
“We have no intention of making an enemy of Red Flame. Today, we only want Gu Mang’s life.” When Leng Xuan spoke, she looked at Lu Chengzhou’s side.
The smile on Ye Junci was cold. “I can’t control him. If you can convince him, then thank you very much.”
Leng Xuan looked at Lu Chengzhou and smiled slightly. “Young Master Lu, I’ve said that whatever I have discussed with you will always be effective. It isn’t worthwhile for you to risk the entirety of Red Flame over Gu Mang, don’t you agree?”
When Qin Fang heard this, he b.u.mped his shoulder against He Yidu’s. “What is she talking about? I don’t get it.”
He and He Yidu always understood things as if their minds were linked via 5G connection, but now they felt confused like a phone on 2G.
He Yidu narrowed his eyes. “Can’t you tell? Leng Xuan has something for Brother Cheng?”
“Oh what the f*ck??” Qin Fang frowned and looked at Leng Xuan. Two seconds later, he s.h.i.+vered. “That’s scary.”
He Yidu nodded. “Yeah, quite.”
Gu Mang laughed out loud. “Young Master Lu, you’re such a hot item. Elder Leng’s asking you a question.”
Lu Chengzhou was speechless.
Lin Shuang and the others stared at this scene in silence.
Lu Chengzhou squeezed Gu Mang’s fingertips as if he was punis.h.i.+ng her. Then, he looked up and when he was looking at Leng Xuan, his eyes were cold and frosty. “Which eye made you fall for me? Should I get someone to dig them out for you?”
Leng Xuan’s expression turned extremely awkward instantly and she stared at Lu Chengzhou. After a while, she spoke through gritted teeth. “I’ve given you many chances. You’re the one who doesn’t cherish them.”
Brahma spoke coldly. “Leng Xuan, stop wasting time.”
Leng Xuan pursed her lips and glanced at the nearly a hundred families. “Gu Mang, do you intend to learn from Gu Zhen and make us cut one another’s throats?”
Gu Mang did not respond.
Leng Xuan looked at the patriarchs of the families. “Whoever can capture Gu Mang and hand her over to me today will take over the Bai family’s position. I will guarantee that your juniors will never have to enter the research lab.”
When Bai Zhang heard this, he was shocked.
Gu Mang took such a big risk to tell the truth, but Leng Xuan wanted these people to take action against her. In other words, she wanted Gu Mang to be dealt with by the people whom Gu Mang had called over.
An eye for an eye.
Ye Junci frowned hard and she stared at the people who seemed like they were starting to consider taking action. Her heart sank deep.
A patriarch stepped forward and explained in a straightforward manner. “Director Gu, no one would give up the opportunity to become one of the four major clans, but what we need most is the medicine Elder Leng has. We also don’t wish for our children to enter the research lab.. My apologies.”
