"Ugh …" Suddenly, Su Xiaonian covered her mouth and ran toward the door of the small wooden hut.

Following that, the sound of someone retching could be heard. Tu Wanzhi sneered. They were in the wilderness, so she would not be able to escape from him!

Su Xiaonian could not stop retching, but her eyes swept toward the dense forest.

Su Xiaonian only felt slightly relieved when she saw a flash of light from an inconspicuous corner.

She used her body to block the light and gestured toward the corner without anyone noticing. A cold glint flashed across her eyes.

Although Jiang Dongting's bodyguard had been taken away when he returned to Hong Kong, Ye Zechen had secretly sent another person to follow him two months ago.

Unless it was an emergency, he wouldn't casually appear.

This was precisely to prevent others from acting strangely and to prepare for unexpected situations.

This was also the main reason why she dared to go to the meeting alone today!

"Not done yet?" Tu Wanzhi, who was behind her, was obviously impatient and urged her.

Su Xiaonian wiped the corner of her mouth with her thumb and took a deep breath before she slowly turned around.

She was bathed in the sunlight, so much so that even the dust around her seemed to disperse very slowly.

Tu Wanzhi looked at Su Xiaonian, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Looking at her, it was as if she was looking at Tu Xinya! Especially that pair of eyes, the mother and daughter were too alike.

The moment Su Xiaonian looked at her, Tu Wanzhi felt a chill run down her spine.

"You have a pair of eyes that are very similar to hers!" Tu Wanzhi said coldly.

Su Xiaonian did not say anything. She naturally knew who Tu Wanzhi was referring to. Tu Wanzhi did not say anything else. She reached out and pulled open the wooden door that led to the basement. She raised an eyebrow.

"You go first," Su Xiaonian said coldly.

"Why? Don't you trust me?" Tu Wanzhi sneered.

"Indeed, I don't trust you. How do I know that you won't push me from behind?"

Su Xiaonian's words had a hidden meaning. Tu Wanzhi's face stiffened. She looked at her deeply and then really went down the stairs.

Soon, Tu Wanzhi's voice was heard from below.

"Come down."

Su Xiaonian turned around to confirm again before she slowly walked down the stairs that led to the basement with her heavy body.

The wooden stairs creaked as Su Xiaonian walked down the stairs.

Under the dim light, Su Xiaonian could vaguely see a shadow lying in the corner.

However, she could only see a blurry shadow.

Su Xiaonian had just crossed the last step when she stood still. However, she was not in a hurry to walk toward the shadow.

"She's the person you're looking for …"

In the darkness, Tu Wanzhi was approaching Su Xiaonian step by step …

Outside the emergency room of the hospital, Chen Yuanyuan was firmly guarded by Ye Zechen's men. She stood in a corner, trembling.

Even the police had received a call from their superiors and left early. They were not allowed to go near Chen Yuanyuan, leaving her to Ye Zechen to deal with.

Suddenly, the emergency room door was opened from the inside.

Xun Simiao took off his bloodied rubber gloves. He looked exhausted. Behind him, the doctor and nurses slowly walked out. Although they did not say anything, the meaning behind their actions was obvious.

Aunty Xu covered her face with her hands and cried out loud. Her heart was filled with pain and guilt!

If she had paid more attention to her grandmother, this would not have happened!

Xun Simiao walked up to Ye Zechen and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"She has something to say to you."

Ye Zechen's face was tense. After a long while, he finally moved his feet and walked into the emergency room.

Xun Simiao walked up to Aunt Xu and raised his hands with difficulty. He did not know whether to put them down or not.

In the end, he could only sigh.

Su Xiaonian seemed to have sensed something and suddenly took a big step back.

On the other hand, Tu Wanzhi did not expect Su Xiaonian to be so quick-witted. She was stunned at first, but she decided to shed all pretense of cordiality.

"Su Xiaonian, do you know how much I hate you!"

Tu Wanzhi said darkly. Ever since Su Xiaonian had entered the basement, she was not willing to put herself down and maintain the harmony on the surface!

Su Xiaonian seemed to have sensed it and was not in a hurry at all.

"You've said this so many times. I've heard it so many times."

"Why do you have such a good life? Why are you able to have children? Why should our family be tortured like this for no reason? Why? "

Su Xiaonian suddenly felt that it was very funny. So many things had happened since the beginning. Had Tu Wanzhi never tried to find the reason for it?

Was everything someone else's fault? She was like a white lotus that had just emerged from the water, clean and unstained?

"I can't compare to Tu Xinya, but I can destroy her! Since I can't beat you, I'll destroy you! "

Tu Wanzhi's words seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps between her teeth, and her voice was filled with viciousness.

"I'm very curious. Although you usually have evil intentions towards me, you've always been able to hide it! But this time, you've cut off all means of retreat and swore to fight me to the death. I want to know who pushed you? Who gave you the courage to do so? "Although Su Xiaonian was impulsive, she was not stupid.

A person's actions were always traceable.

To put it simply, Tu Wanzhi was a person who was disgusting but did not have the guts to do evil!

If she had not been instigated by someone, how could she have done something so stupid?

Did she not think about it? It would be fine if she succeeded, but if she failed, based on Ye Zechen's methods, how could he let her go? Let the Tu family go?

Perhaps Tu Wanzhi felt that Su Xiaonian would not be able to escape from her grasp, so she did not have any intention of hiding it.

"Chen Yuanyuan told me that Tu Xinya was the one who instructed her to do the wedding!"

Chen Yuanyuan? Clearly, Su Xiaonian did not expect Chen Yuanyuan to be involved in this matter. 'She's back?'

"Tu Wanzhi, don't you think you've been bewitched? It's clearly Chen Yuanyuan's fault that you're in this state, yet you insist on finding trouble with me? "

Su Xiaonian sneered. Clearly, she could not agree with Tu Wanzhi's logic.

"You're obviously picking on the weak. Seeing that you can't do anything to the Chen family, you're trying to start with me!"

Su Xiaonian moved her body discreetly as she spoke.

"Pfft! You're shameless!"

"You …" Tu Wanzhi did not expect that she would be taught a lesson by Su Xiaonian. Feeling that there was no one around, she flew into a rage out of humiliation.

"I don't believe …"

"Tu Wanzhi, to tell you the truth, I brought a recording pen with me when I came here. When I went to the bathroom, I hid it behind the toilet bowl. Now, my friend must have gotten the recording pen. If you dare to plot against me, my husband will definitely bury the entire Tu family with me!"

This was Su Xiaonian's final warning to her.

However, Tu Wanzhi, who had been blinded by hatred and jealousy, was not willing to listen to her.

She sneered and slowly reached out her hand toward Su Xiaonian …

Ye Zechen walked slowly to the operating table. Grandmother was hanging on to her last breath. When she saw Ye Zechen, she reached out her hand with trembling hands.

"Nian Nian …" Tears streamed down Grandmother's face. Her face was covered in dirt and blood.

Ye Zechen pursed his lips tightly and reached out his hand. Grandmother grabbed it.

"Money … Money …"

Grandmother grabbed Ye Zechen's hand and brought it to the side of the pocket. Ye Zechen immediately felt that it was bulging.

His phone kept vibrating, but Ye Zechen was not in the mood to answer it.

Sensing that Grandmother had been exerting force, Ye Zechen reached out and flipped the pocket over. Sure enough, there were traces of stitching inside.

Not only on one side, but there were also several patches inside the lining.

"For … Nian Nian …" Grandmother grabbed Ye Zechen's hand. It was as if she felt that her time was up. Tears fell uncontrollably.

Mixed with blood, she looked indescribably pitiful.

"Open … it … for … Nian Nian …"

Ye Zechen exerted force in his hand, and the neatly folded money inside popped out. There were even coins!

"For … Nian Nian …" Suddenly, Grandmother started panting. Large amounts of blood came out of her mouth.

"Nian Nian …"

"Nian Nian …" Grandmother kept calling Su Xiaonian's name. Her bright eyes gradually dimmed.

Ye Zechen kept holding Grandmother's hand tightly. His head was lowered, and the expression on his face was sorrowful and obscure.

"You … and … Nian Nian … are fine …"

Those were … the last words Grandmother would say in this lifetime.

Su Xiaonian did not wait for Tu Wanzhi to approach her. She took out a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from her bag and sprayed it at Tu Wanzhi's eyes.

She had taken this bottle of Yunnan Baiyao from her bag when she was sitting in the backseat of the car.

She had bought it for Aunty Xu, but before she could give it to her, she did not expect to use it first.

Tu Wanzhi covered her face with her hands and screamed in horror.

At that moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard amid the chaos.

Tu Wanzhi, who had been covering her face and bumping around, was suddenly yanked away by a strong force. Then, she was pinned to the ground!

"Ah …" Tu Wanzhi did not expect things to get out of her control!

Su Xiaonian took two big steps back before she managed to stabilize herself.

The bodyguard that Ye Zechen had assigned to her had been following her since she left the house. Even though she was sitting in the coffee shop, he could vaguely see her through the floor-to-ceiling window.

He took a deep breath to calm his nervous heart from the sudden situation just now, but his lower abdomen was faintly aching.

"Madam, are you okay?" The bodyguard quickly subdued Tu Wanzhi.

Su Xiaonian rubbed her lower abdomen and could not stop breathing. However, the decaying basement was mixed with the Yunnan Baiyao, making the smell even more unpleasant.

"I'm fine." After a long while, Su Xiaonian finally spoke.

"Su Xiaonian … Su Xiaonian … Let go of me!"

Tu Wanzhi, whose eyes were stinging, could not stop struggling. When she felt that there was someone else around, her heart began to race!

She did not expect that Su Xiaonian, who seemed to be alone, would have a helper!

"Tu Wanzhi, I gave you a chance!" Su Xiaonian's voice was extremely cold. The faint pain on the back of her hand caused her to look down subconsciously.

Tu Wanzhi had cut the back of her hand in her panic just now.

The long cut on the back of her snow-white hand looked especially frightening in the dim light.

"Let go of me, Su Xiaonian, you bitch …"

Tu Wanzhi could not stop shouting. She looked flustered and exasperated. On the other hand, the bodyguard was still calmly holding her down.

Su Xiaonian did not even look in Tu Wanzhi's direction. Her gaze fell on the dark shadow that had not moved or made a sound since the beginning.

Su Xiaonian did not think that Tu Wanzhi's words in the car were fake.

Moreover, she did not know that she had bodyguards with her at that time, so her words were more believable.

This was because she had already thought that she was in the bag!

Su Xiaonian believed that Ye Zechen's mother was really locked up here by Tu Wanzhi. However … she looked at the dark shadow with a complicated expression.

The surrounding light was too dim, and the expression on Su Xiaonian's face darkened.

Ever since he and Tu Wanzhi came down, no matter how much of a commotion they made, there was no sound from there.

This was definitely not a good thing for Su Xiaonian, who had originally held onto a glimmer of hope!

Su Xiaonian slowly walked in the direction of the dark shadow and turned on the lighting function on his phone. In an instant … the terrible living conditions in the basement came into view.

The stench was mixed with the smell of Yunnan Baiyao. It was nauseating, and the garbage bags scattered all over the floor made the place look even more eerie and terrifying.

Su Xiaonian's heart thumped wildly as his gaze wandered in the direction of the dark shadow.

A military cotton coat covered the corner, and he could vaguely make out the shape of a person.

Behind him, Tu Wanzhi was still struggling with all her might, cursing and swearing. However, Su Xiaonian was not worried that she would break free from the bodyguard's control.

Su Xiaonian opened and closed her fingers nervously, but in the end, she still took a step toward the military coat.

She wanted to see the person, dead or alive!

"Madam …" The bodyguard's voice suddenly rang out behind him, giving Su Xiaonian a fright.

She turned around quickly, and there was a heavy pain in her lower abdomen again.

"There's a branch over there. Don't touch it."

"Okay." After a while, Su Xiaonian finally found the branch that the bodyguard had mentioned. Tu Wanzhi's attitude changed from cursing and suddenly, she laughed sinisterly.

In the basement, the sound was especially loud. It was human.

Su Xiaonian gripped the branch tightly. She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt something moving under the military coat.

"Mom …" Her voice was tense as she slowly reached out and used the branch to lift the heavy coat …

Ye Zechen slowly walked out of the emergency room.

The moment the door opened, his surroundings were shrouded in darkness. Everyone who saw him was shocked.

From Ye Zechen's expression, everyone could tell that his grandmother had passed away.

Chen Yuanyuan, who was under Ye Zechen's control, couldn't help but tremble. It wasn't that she had never seen Ye Zechen angry before. On the contrary … it was precisely because she had seen it before that she was even more afraid of him!

Ye Zechen's footsteps were extremely heavy. His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his blood-stained hands were tightly holding onto two handfuls of coins.

How could he tell Xiaonian? How could he tell her that his grandmother had passed away just like that?

In this lifetime, Xiaonian had already experienced the coldness of human nature and lived a difficult life. It wasn't easy … when everything was about to end … her happiness was shattered!

With a cold expression, he handed the money that his grandmother had entrusted to him before she passed away to Auntie Xu, then walked toward Chen Yuanyuan.

The suit jacket with the phone on it was slowly taken off and casually tossed aside.

Chen Yuanyuan curled up in the corner and looked at Ye Zechen with fear in her eyes!

The next second, she felt a sharp pain on her scalp …

The coat had been picked up by a tree branch, but when Su Xiaonian took a closer look at what was inside, her scalp was about to explode!

A skeleton with rotting flesh was curled up in a strange posture. What Su Xiaonian had seen moving just now were a few fat mice!

Su Xiaonian couldn't help but widen her eyes and step back.

Her body's instinctive reaction was to bend over and retch. The sound of vomiting reached Tu Wanzhi's ears, and her sinister laughter became even more ear-piercing.

"Hehe, she starved to death."

Even though she was restrained by the bodyguards, Tu Wanzhi couldn't help but want to see the expression on Su Xiaonian's face.

Her eyes were sprayed with the Yunnan Baiyao, and the pain was unbearable. No matter how hard she tried, she could not open her eyes. Even so, Tu Wanzhi still opened her eyes while crying.

In her blurry vision, Tu Wanzhi saw Su Xiaonian still vomiting, and she sneered.

"How tragic! She even got bitten by the mice after she died … "

Tu Wanzhi's voice kept entering Su Xiaonian's ears, causing her to recall what she had just seen.

Even her tears flowed. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Zechen knew …

There was a glimmer of hope, and … she was so close!

As she thought about it, Su Xiaonian's heart surged with anger. She glared at Tu Wanzhi, who was still smiling.

'Why … Why do they have to bear the brunt of the evil they've done?' The more she thought about it, the angrier Su Xiaonian became!

Just as the bodyguards were hesitating about whether they should step forward, Su Xiaonian turned around and walked toward Tu Wanzhi with slow but firm steps.

"Say that again?"

With the dim light, Su Xiaonian could clearly see Tu Wanzhi's sorry state.

Her eyes, which had been sprayed with the Yunnan Baiyao, were red and tearing up. However, her lips, which were covered with dark red lipstick, were smiling dazzlingly.

"I said, how tragic. After she died, she still had to be …"

With a loud smack, Su Xiaonian slapped Tu Wanzhi's face hard.

This time, she used all her strength and did not hold back at all, causing Tu Wanzhi's face to swell up.

"Tu Wanzhi, you're really stubborn!"

Su Xiaonian's chest rose and fell violently. Even her head was buzzing.

"How did she have such a vicious mother?"

Perhaps it was because she had just vomited, Su Xiaonian's face was very pale. She glared at Tu Wanzhi, who was kneeling on the ground …

However, before she could speak again, a strange sound came from above.

The bodyguards' expressions turned cold. Clearly, they did not expect there to be more people up there. Moreover, it sounded like there were more than a few of them.

"Hehe, perhaps the person who saved me is here!"

Tu Wanzhi's voice was cold, and there was a bloody taste in her mouth.

That was the aftereffect of Su Xiaonian's slap earlier.

Su Xiaonian's heart tightened. Instead, the bodyguard reached out with a karate chop and knocked Tu Wanzhi out.

No matter what, he had to protect Su Xiaonian's safety!

Very soon, well-trained bodyguards in black came down from the stairs and surrounded the two of them.

Su Xiaonian raised her head, and her gaze met with the person who was slowly walking down from above to the basement.

Her expression had obviously changed as she stared at him.

Similarly, the person was also looking at her …
