"Lin Tang, why are you just standing there like an idiot? Go save Youling!" Shen Qiushi exclaid.
Previously, whenever Shen Youling was in danger, didn't Lin Tang always rush to her side? Could it be that he doesn't love her anymore? Impossible!
"Grandpa, don't worry. Just watch," Lin Tang said calmly, not moving an inch.
Dong Mingfeng and the others were about to close their eyes, unable to bear the sight of their younger daughter being killed by their elder daughter's knife.
CLICK!
Her wrist was seized.
"Huh?" Shen Jiayue froze, staring in disbelief as Shen Youling effortlessly sidestepped the blade and caught her wrist. Before she could even process what was happening, a sharp pain shot through her arm, and the knife clattered to the ground. Shen Youling's foot connected with her knee, forcing her to involuntarily drop to the ground on one knee, completely subdued.
"Whoa, that was so cool!"
"I never thought Shen Youling, who's always so gentle and refined, could be so skilled! She disard her with bare hands!"
The surrounding crowd couldn't help but cheer.
"Huh? Is that... is that really Youling?" As her closest family, Shen Qiushi, Dong Mingfeng, and Shen Xin were utterly astonished. They never imagined she could have changed so much.
Shen Jiayue, both disbelieving and enraged by the humiliation, snarled, "Let go of ! You forced to kneel! You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Shen Youling was dumbfounded. "You were about to kill . Is making you kneel really so outrageous?"
"Hmph! The Execution Team ordered you to be killed. What was I supposed to do? If you know what's good for you, stop resisting and let give you a quick death. It's better than being tortured by the rest of the team... OUCH!"
Shen Jiayue cried out in pain again, terrified her arm was about to be broken. She scread at Zhu Yingning, "Help ! Co and help ! Or maybe you should just do it yourselves! I can't beat her..."
"Do what? I have no idea what you're talking about." Zhu Yingning spread her hands, feigning innocence.
"Uh—" Shen Jiayue was stunned again, completely confused.
A mont later, the truth ca out.
Zhu Yingning pulled off her mask, revealing her true face. Her subordinates followed suit.
"It's you?!" Shen Jiayue, Dong Mingfeng, and the others were dumbstruck. They imdiately recognized her as the owner of Celestial Beauty and Shen Youling's boss. Why is she posing as the Execution Team and trying to kill Shen Youling...?
"I get it! You're impersonating the Execution Team!" Shen Jiayue felt like her head would explode with rage. "You're playing ?"
Zhu Yingning sneered. "Who do you think you are? You think you're important enough for to go to the trouble of tricking you? The real Execution Team did co, but we happened to annihilate all of them. These uniforms still have their blood on them. We haven't even had ti to clean them yet!"
A collective gasp went through the crowd.
"They actually wiped out the Execution Team?!"
"They're insane! Absolutely fearless!"
In an uproar, the crowd instinctively backed away, terrified of being implicated with or hard by Zhu Yingning and her murderous group.
Already burning with sha and anger, Shen Jiayue grew even more desperate. With nothing left to lose, she scread, "You rebels! The Execution Team's reinforcents will wipe you all out! And Shen Youling, you're dood for associating with them! I did nothing wrong! I was right!"
SLAP!
Zhu Yingning stepped forward and struck her hard across the face. "Your parents are despicable, and you have no sha whatsoever," she said with contempt. "How can you still claim you've done nothing wrong?"
Then, Zhu Yingning announced to the entire crowd how they had only pretended to be the Execution Team on a whim. She revealed that Shen Youling's own parents and sister, terrified of being implicated, had betrayed her without a mont's hesitation. They had fabricated a list of cris and publicly disowned her. Finally, Shen Jiayue had even been willing to personally kill her own sister just to save her own skin.
Hearing this, the crowd finally understood.
"I knew there was sothing strange about those hundreds of supposed cris..."
"So they were all lies!"
"It would be one thing if strangers made them up, but this was her own family!"
"How could they do such a thing..."
People pointed, their gazes at Shen Jiayue, Dong Mingfeng, and Shen Xin filled with disgust and scorn.
Shen Qiushi was devastated. Unable to hold back his tears, he cried out, "I've lived my whole life for nothing... How did I raise such garbage descendants?"
"I... I..." Dong Mingfeng and Shen Xin were at a complete loss, wishing the ground would swallow them whole. They knew perfectly well that Zhu Yingning had set a trap for them, especially after seeing Lin Tang's wicked grin.
"Lin Tang, you bastard! You're so vile! This was your rotten idea, wasn't it? How could you conspire with outsiders to set us up?" Dong Mingfeng shrieked.
"Exactly!" Shen Xin chid in. "Is human nature sothing to be tested? If you were in our shoes, you'd have done the sa thing! What right do you have to laugh at us and criticize us?"
"Pah!" Lin Tang scoffed. "While I was out risking my life for Youling, you were at ho bleeding her dry! You have the audacity to compare yourselves to ? Alright. Drag these three pieces of trash out of here. Better yet, just execute them. Keeping scum like them alive is a waste of food."
"Good. I'll have my people bury them alive," Zhu Yingning said, snapping her fingers.
Her subordinates moved to obey at once.
"What?" Dong Mingfeng shrieked as she was grabbed. "Execution? Buried alive? Lin Tang, you son of a bitch, you're heartless! I'm Youling's mother! Your mother-in-law! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"Let go! Let go!" Shen Xin wailed. "I'm Youling's father! Youling, save ! I beg you, save ! Blood is thicker than water! Could you really bear to see your own father killed?"
Shen Jiayue, who hadn't hesitated to kill her own sister to save herself, was certainly not ready to die. Her body trembled as she shed her anger and ferocity, forcing a pitiful expression onto her face. "Sister, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong now. Please, spare ... Tell them to spare , I'm begging you..."
