Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Outsmarted by One’s Own Cleverness
"Ye Xixue, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Even if you can fight me, you can never fight the people backing me!"
Murong Hai roared, and the bodyguards at the door immediately rushed in and surrounded him.
"I admit your subordinates are quite formidable, though I couldn’t beat them before, but it’s different now."
His face was full of smugness as he pulled out his phone and pressed a button.
"I’ve been in control of Jiulong Mountain Villa for several years and have cultivated many loyal followers. Now these people work for me, and Jiulong Mountain Villa is no longer yours. If you refuse to let go, you’ll have to lose your life."
Murong Hai spoke and approached Ye Xixue, clicking his tongue twice: "What a pity! You’re so beautiful, I truly can’t bear to kill you."
"Are these people you mentioned as loyal followers?"
Ye Xixue chuckled softly, stood up, and turned the laptop screen towards him.
Murong Hai squinted and saw on the screen a group of people tightly bound with ropes, their mouths taped shut, struggling desperately.
He widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Ye Xixue.
"You knew all along that I planned to strike, and you tied up all my followers in advance?"
"Murong Hai, cleverness can backfire. You thought your plan was perfect, that you could manipulate me at will, but the fact that I became the Manor Master of Jiulong Mountain Villa proves I’m more capable than you."
Ye Xixue sneered repeatedly, then slowly took a gun out from the drawer and aimed it at Murong Hai’s head.
"I originally wanted to spare your life, but a venomous snake like you would surely bite me if I let you go today, so you must die!"
Murong Hai looked at the dark muzzle, his pupils shrinking, teeth slightly chattering.
"Xixue, after all these years, spare my life!"
His voice softened, and he knelt with a thud in front of Ye Xixue.
"Consider a few years ago, when I drank until I bled from my stomach for business, no matter what difficulties you faced, I was there by your side to resolve them. Can you really bear to kill me?"
These words involuntarily took Ye Xixue back to the past, recalling the sincere Murong Hai of those times.
"Murong Hai, why have you changed so much?"
Ye Xixue was very confused; the once somewhat kind-hearted person now seemed so unfamiliar.
At this moment, Murong Hai’s body trembled uncontrollably, and his skin became increasingly red, looking very abnormal.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ye Xixue frowned and asked.
"You think tying up my followers guarantees my defeat?"
Murong Hai suddenly laughed maniacally, then stood up abruptly.
Realizing the situation was dire, Ye Xixue wanted to pull the trigger, but it was already too late, as the man before her, like a furious beast, suddenly broke through the encirclement.
Ye Xixue, just a frail woman, was instantly seized by Murong Hai at the wrist, unable to resist, and the gun was immediately snatched away.
The cold muzzle pressed against her temple, and only then did the bodyguards react, rushing towards the sofa.
"Don’t come any closer! Step another foot forward, and I’ll kill her!"
Murong Hai shouted threateningly, his vicious eyes gradually turning red.
"This Medicine Pill really works. After taking one, I feel full of inexhaustible strength. You little shrimps can’t possibly be my opponents!"
He was extremely excited, the veins on his forehead about to burst, his ears buzzing incessantly.
"It’s my fault for being too soft-hearted earlier; I should’ve just shot you dead!"
Ye Xixue bit her red lips with regret.
She knew very well that falling into Murong Hai’s hands, even if she survived, would bring endless torture.
"Women are too sentimental. Once there’s emotion, there’s a weakness. Even now, you still believe in our past feelings. It’s truly absurd."
Murong Hai sneered, his eyes full of mockery.
"Ye Xixue, I’ll tell you a secret: the Murong Hai who once fought alongside you is long dead, and I’ve replaced him to be by your side."
"What did you say?"
Ye Xixue’s eyes widened in shock, disbelief in her gaze.
"You killed him?"
Her voice trembled, her heart clenched tightly, causing her delicate body to shake.
"That’s right! Perhaps you should remember me; back then, Murong Hai had a good friend who always invited him out to eat and introduced him to business."
"After spending more than half a year with him, I finally dared to act and get rid of him, then learned his every word and deed, staying by your side."
Murong Hai grew more excited, seeing a teardrop fall from Ye Xixue’s eye made him even more smug.
"You bastard! He trusted you so much, yet you killed him. You deserve to die!"
Ye Xixue’s voice choked, her chest rising and falling in anger.
She always thought Murong Hai had changed, assuming it was just a man becoming bad with money, but never imagined the real Murong Hai was long dead.
The vicious, ruthless man before her turned out to be an impostor!
Murong Hai suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to raise her head, revealing a slender neck. From his angle, he could see the curve of her full bosom.
He leaned in slowly, intoxicated by her alluring aroma.
"So fragrant! Xixue, if you could be with me, I really wouldn’t hurt you. We could have another child, you stay at home taking care of the family, I’ll manage Jiulong Mountain Villa, wouldn’t that be great?"
Murong Hai held Ye Xixue, his heart racing, even feeling the urge to force himself on her.
But with so many bodyguards present, he had to figure out how to deal with them all first, then slowly savor Ye Xixue.
Sensing Murong Hai’s approach made Ye Xixue feel extreme disgust, she coldly said, "You’re a disgusting rat, I’d rather die than be with you!"
After she spoke, she closed her eyes, ready to face death.
"Bitch!"
Murong Hai cursed angrily, his gaze extremely vicious, grabbing her throat.
At this moment, footsteps sounded from the corridor.
Everyone raised their heads in unison to see Yang Cheng and Lin Er walking through the door.
"Mom!"
Lin Er cried out anxiously upon seeing the scene as soon as she entered.
"Murong Hai, are you insane? Let my mom go!"
Ye Xixue suddenly opened her eyes, seeing Lin Er unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief, then her beautiful eyes slightly reddened.
"Lin Er, don’t come over, he has a gun."
She quickly warned, afraid that Murong Hai had already gone mad and might suddenly attack her daughter.
"Haha! You’ve all come, so you can all die here today!"
Murong Hai saw Lin Er and Yang Cheng, growing even more excited, his body shaking violently.
Yang Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that this man surely took a Forbidden Pill.
It’s dubbed a Forbidden Pill because although it can short-term enhance abilities, it inflicts immense harm on the body.
