“In the dark night, the gloomy mansion resembles a giant beast’s maw.
The vast estate hardly has a blade of grass, supposedly because of the massive drug laboratory within the Yin Yue Rong mansion, causing nothing to grow.
Everyone inside the mansion stands still like puppets, their expressions numb and icy, as if lifeless marionettes.
The entire estate is as silent as a tomb, devoid of any sound.
Lin Que nervously follows behind Si Ye Han, “Ninth Brother, maybe I should wait for you outside.”
Si Ye Han: “Fine, but stay within my sight range, I can’t guarantee your safety otherwise.”
Lin Que: “Forget it, forget it, I’ll stick with you, follow you! Ninth Brother, take it slow, don’t leave me behind…”
…
In the hall.
The servant brings tea, and out of nervousness, Lin Que hastily picks up the tea on the table and takes a sip, but immediately spits it all out the next moment, “Cough, cough, cough…”
He must be crazy to even dare to drink something here.
What if he gets poisoned? Who will he reason with then?
After waiting for a while, Yin Yue Rong hasn’t appeared yet, but someone else arrives first.
“Yin Heng…” Lin Que becomes instantly vigilant upon seeing the newcomer.
The person is dressed casually, and from his gait and aura, it’s clear he’s a martial arts expert. He is accompanied by a young servant.
Yin Heng warmly welcomes him, “Big Brother, it’s been a long time.”
Compared to Yin Heng’s warmth, Si Ye Han looks indifferent and dismissive of the newcomer.
Yin Heng seems accustomed to Si Ye Han’s reaction and doesn’t say much. However, his young servant looks indignant, “Young Master has finally returned! I never expected Young Master to go to such lengths for a woman. It’s truly surprising. Back then, Madam had the highest expectations for Young Master…”
In the past, a mere servant wouldn’t dare to have such an attitude towards Si Ye Han. But everyone knows that the Yin family has changed, and Yin Heng, as the adopted son, is now the future head of the Yin family, while Si Ye Han has been abandoned.
Si Ye Han remains silent, but Lin Que gives the servant a disdainful look, “If not for this, do you think Lady Rong would even spare a glance at your young master? You’re getting cheap and acting arrogant! It’s as if someone cares whether you come back or not!”
Upon hearing this, Yin Heng’s eyes briefly flicker, but his expression remains unchanged. The servant, emboldened by Yin Heng’s support and eager to flatter the future head of the family, immediately sneers, “Since you’re not interested, why did you come back to Tian Shui City? Let me remind you, Madam’s anger might not be so easily quelled. Lin Que, I suggest you advise Young Master. If he wants to show sincere remorse, how can he return empty-handed? He should at least bring the heads of that vixen and her illegitimate child from outside…”
“Bang”… A soft sound as Si Ye Han places his teacup back on the table.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the room instantly chills.
“Swoosh…”
The next moment, right after the servant finishes speaking, before Si Ye Han can react, Yin Heng’s palm lands on the servant’s face. The servant’s face immediately swells, and one of his front teeth falls out.
“Insolence! Get out of here! Who gave you the right to be so disrespectful to Big Brother?” Yin Heng scolds.
“Yes…” The servant retreats, looking aggrieved.
Lin Que stands to the side, smirking, “Just putting on an act… Lady Rong isn’t even here, who are you pretending for?”
