Lu Tianxing, who had no idea how Sun Yaoyang’s expression turned after hanging up, imdiately tossed his phone onto the sofa. His gaze landed on Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru, his lips curling into a sly smile: "Honey, Qianru, it’s getting late now, shouldn’t we wash up and go to bed?"
Saying this, Lu Tianxing’s eyes kept darting between Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru.
Back in Modu, there was never a suitable chance for a big sleepover due to various reasons and Bai Weiwei’s possible intrusion. Now, having traveled to Qin Island, after a day of travel yesterday with little inclination for anything else, tonight seed perfect to fulfill an unfulfilled dream.
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words and seeing his lecherous gaze, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru couldn’t help but blush, knowing full well what Lu Tianxing had in mind.
Bai Zhiqing gave Lu Tianxing a sharp glare, responding, "Yes, it’s late, and I should go to bed. Qianru, didn’t you ntion a good Arican drama you found a couple of days ago? How about we sleep together tonight and see if it’s worth watching?"
Although seeking Lin Qianru’s opinion verbally, Bai Zhiqing swiftly moved to Lin Qianru’s side, pulling her towards her room.
"Honey, you’re sleeping with Qianru, what about ?"
Seeing this, Lu Tianxing promptly got up from the sofa.
"You sleep in Qianru’s room."
Bai Zhiqing’s voice rang out, followed by a ’bang’, the sound of a door closing.
Looking at the now empty living room, Lu Tianxing felt helpless. What was supposed to be a morable big sleepover was now unlikely.
...
At dawn, as the first rays of sunlight rose slowly from the eastern horizon, the warm, bright light seeped through the curtains, illuminating the previously dull room and providing a cozy feeling on the face.
But for Sun Yaoyang, he felt none of the warmth, instead a piercing chill surrounded his body.
Sun Yaoyang was sitting in the study, like a stone sculpture, motionless. The ashtray in front of him was packed with cigarette butts; his face was lined with wrinkles and his graying, ssy hair added a sense of disarray. His eyes were bloodshot, indicating that he hadn’t rested well last night.
To be precise, Sun Yaoyang hadn’t slept a wink since Lu Tianxing ntioned giving him a big gift last night; he’d remained in the study, sleepless, speculating on what Lu Tianxing’s big gift could be.
The night passed uneventfully, no ripples erged, yet this eerie calm only made Sun Yaoyang’s heart more restless, an intense feeling of doom sprouted within him. Especially as the sunlight stread into the study, boundless fear surged within him, as if the sunlight brought not hope but a deep abyss of despair.
"Knock!" "Knock!" "Knock!"
At this mont, urgent footsteps suddenly resounded outside the study.
Hearing these footsteps, Sun Yaoyang’s body trembled fiercely, that ominous feeling intensified.
"Click!"
The study door was pushed open from outside, Zhang Yue’s figure appeared, walking heavily towards Sun Yaoyang.
"Yue’er, why are you here, is sothing wrong with bringing the Laqiu family down?" Sun Yaoyang asked urgently upon seeing Zhang Yue.
At that mont, even Sun Yaoyang himself hadn’t realized he was afraid to ask if sothing had happened to the Sun Family.
Zhang Yue heard this and shook her head gently, saying, "I’ve arranged the Laqiu family matter, there shouldn’t be any major issues. But..."
At these words, Zhang Yue opened her mouth but couldn’t continue.
"What is it, but what?"
Sun Yaoyang’s face fell, his voice hoarse. "But all the secret bases our Sun Family established have been uprooted overnight, everyone killed, we now have no power outside our main family."
Hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Sun Yaoyang’s face turned extrely pale, his body shaking uncontrollably. Ever since becoming family head, he’d secretly cultivated a lot of power outside, but even the Sun Family knew little of it, a reason he wouldn’t yield knowing Lu Tianxing’s intent to annihilate the Sun Family.
Yet, Sun Yaoyang never imagined his forces could suffer annihilation overnight, now understanding what Lu Tianxing ant by a big gift, and why there was no news all night—they’d been killed, leaving no one to send information.
Thinking of this, fury surged in Sun Yaoyang’s heart.
"Pff!"
Blood surged up his throat, uncontrollably sprayed onto the desk.
At this mont, Sun Yaoyang’s already aged face grew paler, his eyes losing all color, sitting there dumbfounded, were it not for faint breathing one might think he was dead.
"Yaoyang, what’s wrong, don’t scare ."
Seeing this, Zhang Yue hurried forward.
Hearing Zhang Yue’s words, Sun Yaoyang’s eyes flickered slightly before regaining focus, gasping heavily, he roared with extre ferocity: "Lu Tianxing, you little bastard, we are enemies unto death. I will not be a man unless I kill you!"
With that, Sun Yaoyang slamd the desk beside him with a palm filled with True Qi, shattering it to pieces.
