After Jiang Lianjie finished speaking, he ran away. He knew all too well that this Love Gu was made precisely targeting the Gu made for his mother, making him the only antidote. If he refused, Jiang Huan was sure to die.
Yet he still chose to ignore her, which essentially ant he decided to abandon Jiang Huan. Jiang Huan writhed on the ground, biting her lip, so hard that her tongue was bitten through.
The pain from the blood briefly cleared her mind.
She lay on the ground, feeling her heart erupting with intense pain. She knew it was the Love Gu’s attack, and she was close to death.
At this mont, surprisingly, Jiang Huan no longer felt fear; instead, she was unexpectedly calm. Reflecting on her life, it was simply ridiculous.
Look, these are her closest relatives, abandoning her without hesitation at a life-and-death mont. She regretted how ungrateful she once was.
Being adopted by the Chu Family was an imnse blessing indeed.
Yet she was never satisfied and insisted on causing mischief.
The Chu Family treated her so well, yet not only did she show no gratitude, she committed many excessive acts, constantly taking everything away from Nianyang.
But she shalessly shifted all the bla onto Nianyang.
So it was all karma.
Her karma had arrived.
In the end, as the pain intensified, Jiang Huan began to cough up blood, her eyes void of emotion. She thought, if there was another life, surely she wouldn’t be so stubborn. She wanted to apologize to the Chu Family, but there was no chance; promise to do it in the next life.

Nianyang and Li Tingyan, unaware of what happened inside, ca outside to a bustling hall.
A row of sailors were ticulously searching from top to bottom for sothing.
Upon seeing this, exclamations arose one after another. Nianyang asked Li Tingyan what was going on, to which Li Tingyan replied, "I found a note on a pirate’s body in the island jungle, ntioning I’m in Gambling Stone City waiting for contact. I sensed danger, knowing you were in Gambling Stone City, so I ca over."
Nianyang furrowed her brow, capturing the critical point, "Are you saying there are pirates in Gambling Stone City?"
Li Tingyan nodded, "Absolutely, it’s very dangerous here. The people I’ve brought have already sealed off Gambling Stone City, and everyone will shortly undergo checks one by one. For now, I’ll take you to my car outside."
Li Tingyan led Nianyang downstairs, while the crowd followed arrangents to stand in line awaiting inspection.
At that mont, the Jade King suddenly broke through the crowd, running towards a passage, capturing everyone’s attention. Li Tingyan imdiately followed along with the others to capture him, while Nianyang stood there staring blankly.
So the Jade King is the pirate’s accomplice? No wonder things seed so off; a pirate indeed?
The Jade King was evidently skilled. Gambling Stone City was already vast, and he ran swiftly, dodging Li Tingyan’s encirclent, swiftly entering a hidden hall.
When Li Tingyan entered to search, the hall was empty of the Jade King, with only an elderly lady, carrying a trash can, walking out despondently. Li Tingyan went up to ask her if she had seen the Jade King.
The elderly lady seed deaf, unable to hear for a while, so Li Tingyan deed her innocent and let her go.
Less than a minute after the elderly lady left, Li Tingyan suddenly thought her reaction seed peculiar.
Even if deaf, seeing so many people, shouldn’t she be panicking? Yet she remained exceptionally calm...
