Yun Bixue looked at Shen Zhengyao whose eyes were filled with fear. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know anything. You’ve been keeping tabs on me, so you should know that I didn’t call anyone here. I only came by myself.”
Yun Bixue licked her lips, and a light flashed through her eyes. She pretended to be outraged and shouted, “Shen Zhengyao, some man you are, wanting to kill your cousin! Not only are you doing this yourself, you even called so many men of sacrifice just to kill me. How can you be so cruel?!” Technically, given her relations.h.i.+p with Old Lady Shen, Yun Bixue is Shen Zhengyao’s younger cousin.
Yun Bixue was trying to play mind games with Shen Zhengyao.
After hearing Yun Bixue’s nonsense, Shen Zhengyao almost fainted. He retorted, “That’s a load of bullsh*t. All the Shen family’s men of sacrifice have died, I couldn’t have called anyone.”
Yun Bixue was shocked. The Shen family’s men of sacrifice had all died? This was the most shocking piece of news. For the wealthy families of Ning An City, this was no small matter. Men of sacrifice were a taboo for the wealthy families. They were not to be messed with, nor should they be used on a whim.
The wealthy families had an agreement between them: If anyone decided to use the men of sacrifice of their family, it was very likely that they would be attacked by the rest. However, if one used the men of sacrifice in spite of this risk, then they were only allowed to succeed. And all of the men of sacrifice of the Shen family had died?
Who was behind this? Yun Bixue had a rough idea.
After thinking for a while, Yun Bixue lowered her head to hide the emotion in her eyes. She pretended to be angry and shouted, “Shen Zhengyao, you did this on purpose! Didn’t you tell me that I had many enemies in Ning An City? You must have gathered those people to kill me!”
“That’s a load of bullsh*t. If I could really a.s.semble that many people, I wouldn’t need to end my life with yours.” Shen Zhengyao was furious now. Although he did want to kill Yun Bixue, but being framed like this made him so angry that he almost lost control of himself, even forgetting why he had come here in the first place.
“Perhaps someone purposely lied to you behind the scenes to make you end your life with mine? Doesn’t that mean they want us both dead? They must be waiting to reap the benefits of our conflict.”
Shen Zhengyao wavered for a moment. He then laughed, “Yun Bixue, you’re really clever. I almost fell into your trap. But, I’m not stupid. Before I came here, I finished all the preparations. I must kill you. The Shen family is no more, and the men of sacrifice have died. there is nothing left anymore.”
It was at this point when Shen Zhengyao was going crazy that a voice called out behind him, “Shen Zhengyao, take a look at who this is. Isn’t she the most important person to you?”
He saw a man in a black suit holding onto a girl, pointing a gun at her.
The color drained from Shen Zhengyao’s face. “Jingcui?” he blurted out. The lighter trembled in his hand. How did the enemy find Jingcui in such a short amount of time? No one in the Shen family knew that Shen Jingcui was the most important person to him, but somehow the enemy knew?
Shen Jingcui bit her lips and said, “Brother, don’t pay attention to me!”
“Shen Zhengyao, you can go ahead and set off the explosion. What a coincidence that the person you want to protect can now keep you company,” Xie s.h.i.+yi said. When he spoke, the scar on his face moved, and he emanated a chilling aura.
Yun Bixue was shocked as well. She had barely spent half an hour here since she arrived. It all felt surreal. However, her instincts were telling her that the time was now.
Shen Zhengyao was still in shock, his mind quickly racing, when a voice sounded from Block B. Immediately after, Shen Zhengyao was shot in the chest.
His eyes were fixated towards the front, on the highest floor of Block B. A black gun was aiming at him from there.
