In the midst of the night, the dark manor resembled a massive beast’s maw.
The vast estate had almost no signs of life, rumored to be due to the enormous drug laboratory inside the Yin Yue Rong Manor.
Everyone within the manor stood motionless like puppets, their expressions numb and cold, as if lifeless marionettes.
The entire estate was as silent as a tomb.
Lin Que followed anxiously behind Si Ye Han, “Jiu-ge, maybe I should wait for you outside.”
Si Ye Han replied, “You can, but if you leave my line of sight, I can’t guarantee your safety.”
Lin Que said, “Never mind, I’ll stick with you, stick with you! Jiu-ge, please go slower, don’t leave me behind…”
Inside the hall,
As the servants served tea, Lin Que, feeling nervous, picked up a cup and took a sip, only to immediately spit it all out, “Cough, cough, cough…”
He must be crazy to even drink something here.
What if he got poisoned? Who could he reason with?
After waiting for a while, Yin Yue Rong had not yet appeared, but someone else arrived first.
“Yin Heng…” Lin Que became instantly cautious upon seeing the newcomer.
The newcomer was dressed casually, and his gait and demeanor revealed him to be a martial arts expert. He was followed by a young servant.
Yin Heng warmly greeted them, “Big brother, it’s been a long time.”
Compared to Yin Heng’s enthusiasm, Si Ye Han’s expression remained indifferent, as if he didn’t even acknowledge the newcomer.
Yin Heng seemed accustomed to Si Ye Han’s reaction and didn’t say anything. However, his servant, with a look of resentment, spoke up, “Young Master has finally returned! Who would have thought that Young Master would go to such lengths for a woman? It’s truly unexpected. Back in the day, 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 knew that the Yin family had changed, and Yin Heng, as the adopted son, was the future head of the Yin family, while Si Ye Han had long been abandoned.
Si Ye Han remained silent, but Lin Que glared at the servant, “If not for this, do you think Madam would even give your master a second look? You’re trying to act high and mighty after taking advantage! As if anyone cares that you’ve returned!”
Upon hearing this, Yin Heng’s eyes flickered slightly, but he showed no other reaction. The servant, emboldened by Yin Heng’s support and eager to curry favor with the future head, retorted, “Since you’re not interested, why did you come back to Tian Shui City? Let me remind you, Madam’s anger may not be so easily extinguished. Lin Que, I suggest you advise Young Master. If he wants to show genuine remorse, he shouldn’t return empty-handed. At the very least, he should bring back the heads of that vixen and her bast*rd…”
A light “thud” was heard as Si Ye Han placed his teacup back on the table.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the living room instantly turned icy.
“Swish…”
In the next moment, as soon as the servant finished speaking, before Si Ye Han could react, Yin Heng had already slapped the servant across the face. The servant’s face swelled instantly, and he even lost a front tooth.
“How dare you! Get out of here! Who gave you the right to be so disrespectful to my big brother?” Yin Heng reprimanded angrily.
The servant reluctantly retreated.
Lin Que stood aside and sneered, “Putting on a show… Madam isn’t even here. Who are you trying to impress?”
