Dongfang Shu watched the changes in Qi Ruohai and the others' expressions, and said lightly, "Everyone here is intelligent, so I won't say more, lest anyone accuses me of fabricating charges and having ulterior motives!"

With that, Dongfang Shu sat directly on the sofa, crossed her legs, and appeared completely at ease.

Dongfang Shu stopped talking, but Dongfang Qingyu felt completely trapped and at a loss for what to do.

Qi Ruohai and his people seemed eager to tear him apart!

"Uncle Qi, let me explain, what happened with Young Master Qi truly has nothing to do with us, I..."

"Does a thief usually admit they're a thief?" Qi Ruohai said coldly.

Dongfang Qingyu was at a loss for words, unsure how to explain.

At this moment, Qi Yizhou suddenly spoke up, "Originally, I just wanted to ask you a few questions, girl. I planned to kill you as an offering for Tiansheng, but I never expected this would lead to so much more!"

It seemed Dongfang Shu had already predicted what Qi Yizhou would say, and showed no surprise: "If you want to kill me, it's very simple!"

"However, I think you need to consider carefully. As it stands, I'm the woman of an underground boss, and if I'm killed, it's obvious that it's you!"

"Are you threatening us?" Qi Yizhou's eyes narrowed!

"How would I dare!" Dongfang Shu said fearlessly, "I'm just speaking the truth."

Qi Yizhou snorted coldly, unwilling to dwell on this: "Little girl, how do we know you're not sowing discord, when we know how much you hate Wu Lanqin!"

"I want her dead!"

"So we're very suspicious that you want to use us!"

"That's your business; I can't stop you from being suspicious. Anyway, it's not my son who died." Dongfang Shu replied with neither humility nor arrogance: "If you wrongly accuse an innocent person, and wrongly kill someone else, that would be interesting!"

Dongfang Shu's words were like a sharp sword, stabbing into Qi Ruohai's heart and sending waves of intense pain through his body!

Indeed, if this were an Orient Family plot, killing Ye Xunhuan would undoubtedly cause the Qi Family to suffer losses, while the Orient Family benefits.

"I'd rather kill wrongly than let them go!" Qi Ruohai said through gritted teeth.

Then Qi Ruohai's gaze, as venomous as a snake, swept over Dongfang Qingyu: "Call Wu Lanqin and tell her to come see me tomorrow!"

"Or don't blame my Qi family for taking the fight to your Orient Family!"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qingyu nodded hurriedly, like a pecking hen.

As long as Qi Ruohai doesn't kill him, he'll do anything.

"Call now!"

"Yes... yes..."

Then, Dongfang Qingyu called Wu Lanqin and relayed the entire situation to her.

This made Wu Lanqin fly into a rage and immediately promise to appear in Jiangzhong City tomorrow.

After Dongfang Qingyu hung up, Qi Ruohai immediately ordered the people he brought with him, "Drag this kid out and pry his mouth open. I don't believe he knows nothing!"

Dongfang Qingyu shivered violently, "Uncle Qi, don't be deceived by this woman, she..."

"Take him out!"

The next moment, Dongfang Qingyu was dragged away.

Suddenly, only Dongfang Shu, Qi Yizhou, and Qi Ruohai remained in the villa, making the atmosphere in the villa feel oppressive!

After a moment, Qi Ruohai suddenly said, "Don't think you can escape. Once I've resolved everything, you'll have to die too, to accompany my son!"

To this, Dongfang Shu was unimpressed, "Let's see what you can do!"

Tensions filled the entire room like a current.

At that moment, Wu Mei walked in from outside.

The abrupt arrival of Wu Mei instantly dampened the tense atmosphere!

"Why are you here, Officer?" Qi Ruohai said coldly.

"I'm here to warn you not to kill recklessly on my territory!" Wu Mei said bluntly, "Otherwise, even if you're from a martial family, you'll face the Hidden Dragon's judgment!"

"Do you even qualify for that?"

"We can report to the Guardians!" Wu Mei responded defiantly.

"You..."

"Enough, I've said my piece, how you act is your business." Wu Mei interrupted Qi Ruohai: "I have other matters to attend to, so I'm leaving."

"Of course, you can kill me and then act, but before I came, I already informed Longshou of everything!"

With that, Wu Mei walked out gracefully without bothering with Dongfang Shu.

Watching Wu Mei disappear from view, Qi Ruohai gritted his teeth in anger, but was helpless.

She had left herself a way out; no matter his methods, they were futile.

......

In a quiet courtyard in the capital, Longshou was shaken after hearing about the deaths of Qi Tiansheng from a martial family and Guardian Xuan Shuangzi.

Most critically, according to information from Wu Mei, it likely involved Ye Xunhuan.

"The little rascal, of all people, you killed a Guardian. Do you have to break the heavens to be satisfied?" Longshou muttered through clenched teeth, filled with helplessness.

The death of a Guardian couldn't be suppressed; it had to be reported, and he could only hope this wasn't really tied to Ye Xunhuan, or the whole sky might fall.

The next moment, Longshou took out his phone to call Ye Xunhuan.

Although he knew Ye Xunhuan was reluctant to speak to him and might not answer, he had no choice but to make the call, warning him to be prepared.

After Longshou dialed, the ringtone barely sounded before it was cut off.

When he called back, it was already switched off, making Longshou almost spit blood in fury.

"The little rascal, you even turned off your phone, trying to infuriate me to death..."

In Jiangzhong City, Ye Xunhuan didn't turn his phone off but switched it to airplane mode.

He knew what kind of person Longshou was; if he didn't pick up once, Longshou would persist, possibly even using other numbers.

Not wanting to deal with him, Ye Xunhuan simply set it to airplane mode. Try reaching me now!

But Ye Xunhuan underestimated Longshou. Unable to reach Ye Xunhuan, Longshou targeted Qiu Ruoxi next.

For Longshou, finding Qiu Ruoxi's number was a trivial task.

Not long after, Longshou found it and called Qiu Ruoxi's number.

Sitting next to Ye Xunhuan, Qiu Ruoxi picked up her phone when it rang.

Seeing the unfamiliar number made Qiu Ruoxi frown. Whose number is this?

But in the end, Qiu Ruoxi answered the call.

After all, she's a businesswoman, and it could be a call from a potential partner.

As soon as Qiu Ruoxi answered, Longshou hurriedly spoke, "Miss Qiu, I'm calling to reach Ye Xunhuan, could you please let him take the call..."
