Stepping on his blood, Lin Yu slowly walked up before him. She supported her bulging stomach and bent down to look at him and said, “When you reach hell, remember not to leave yet. Wait for me. Let’s be husband and wife again in our next lives. You have to pay back what you, and your family, owe me in this life! We’ll be together forever, life after life!”

Lin Yu smiled at Xi Cheng, bit her lip, and viciously pulled out the dagger in Xi Cheng’s abdomen. Xi Cheng shouted in pain and fell silent.

“Ah!” Gu Man was scared out of her wits. She shrieked and curled up into a ball, covering her head tightly. Her cry caught Lin Yu’s attention.

Lin Yu turned to look at her, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light. She rushed over and stabbed Gu Man wildly. Gu Man screamed and cried as she struggled against Lin Yu before she shoved Lin Yu away hard.

Lin Yu’s body was clumsy with pregnancy. She fell and sat on the ground, the dagger held tightly in her hand, but she couldn’t get up again. At this moment, the contractions started.

Lin Yu didn’t have the mind to care about Gu Man as the contraction pains had her sweating profusely. She rolled around in pain, staining herself red all over from the pool of blood on the ground. The pain got so much that she wanted to stab herself in the stomach several times, but she didn’t do it in the end.

Gu Man, who was also covered in blood—though those were from her own profusely bleeding wounds—was so scared that she fainted without even trying to escape.

Lin Yu gritted her teeth, crawled over, and slashed at Gu Man’s face with her dagger. Gu Man woke up from the pain, and Lin Yu stabbed her in the abdomen. “Hustling in on my man, will you?” Lin Yu ranted. “Die and rot in hell! I warned you, Gu Man! I warned you! I warned you!”

“Ah!” Lin Yu screamed and fell into a pool of blood—both Gu Man’s blood and hers. She had finally given birth to the child she had been looking forward to. ‘However, it’s meaningless now,’ Lin Yu thought. ‘No one would care about this child, and there’s nothing in the Xi family now that’s worth me scheming for. My life is a complete joke!’

Her eyes were wide open as she stared at the dark ceiling. ‘Is this all there is to my life?’ she thought, frustrated and discontented. She didn’t understand why she was no match for Fang Xi and Yun Nan despite all her hard work. ‘Why is it that they can be happy without any effort or doing anything, whereas I tried my best and put everything on the line, but in the end, it was all for naught? What did I do wrong to have the heavens treat me so poorly?’

“Wah, wah, wah!” Lin Yu could hear the baby’s cries right beside her, but they also somehow sounded as if they were getting further and further away from her. Lin Yu let out a soft sigh.

‘I have no love for anybody, not even my own child! Since no one in this world loved me, then I don’t love anyone!’ Those were her last thoughts before darkness took her.

Lan Long received two pieces of news at the same time: “Young Master, something has happened at ‘Vision of Eternity.’ There’s been a murder. A large number of police officers are here!”

“Young Master, the old master has been missing for a day and night. The hospital kept a lid on the issue and didn’t report it!”

Lan Long was drinking and having a laugh with the Zhu sisters. He could open up a gap in the three great families’ defenses through the Zhu family. This was a knife they had voluntarily delivered to him on a silver platter! Now, the ‘knife’s hilt’ is in his hands, just waiting to be pointed at them. ‘This is the cheapest deal in the world,’ he had mentally smirked.

When Lan Long was told the news, his brain stalled for a moment. ‘What murder case? The old man’s missing?’

“Mr. Lou, slow down. What’s going on?” Lan Long composedly pushed away the wine that Anna had brought to his lips and glared at Xi Yue, who was talking non-stop opposite him. Xi Yue was so cowed she immediately shut up.

“Young Master, Lin Yu killed Xi Cheng and Gu Man and even gave birth to a child here at ‘Vision of Eternity.’ Yun Liu was also knocked out; the police originally came here to arrest her, and—and happened to bump into this murder. Young Master, leave quickly and don’t come back!” Mr. Lou instructed, sounding extremely urgent.

Lan Long immediately caught the main point and asked, “Why are the police arresting Yun Liu?”

“Family members of Yun Entertainment’s employees went to the company to look for them. Yun Zhang announced to the public that Yun Liu had an affair and their engagement was already canceled. He also provided evidence that Yun Liu was involved in human trafficking, so the police came to arrest her,” Mr. Lou recounted everything in one breath.

Alarm bells rang in Lan Long’s head. ‘How could there be such a coincidence?’

“Also, the old master has gone missing, it’s been a day and night,” Mr. Lou said, furious. “The nurses at the hospital were afraid they would take the blame for it, so they didn’t report it to us. They only informed us now after they’d failed to find him anywhere—”

Lan Long jumped to his feet in anger. “Those b*stards! I want them all dead!”

“Young Master, Young Master! Now’s not the time to get mad. Right now, you need to go and find the old master immediately. Don’t come over to the bar. That Yun Liu is a useless pushover. I’m afraid she’ll rat us all out!” With that, Mr. Lou hurriedly hung up the phone.

Lan Long was working his mind so furiously that it was about to start smoking. This turn of events was truly too sudden. Seeing that her two stepdaughters were frightened, Xi Yue quickly came to smooth things over. “Young Master Lan Long, what’s going on? Did something happen?”

An idea occurred to Lan Long, and he smiled and said, “I’m afraid I have something urgent to deal with now. Would the three of you mind accompanying me somewhere?”

“Where to?” Xi Yue hastily asked.

“My home,” Lan Long answered, his smile having regained its usual charm.

Xi Yue eagerly agreed and inquired, “Who else is staying with you? Wouldn’t it be too presumptuous of us to visit like this?”
