Luo Ming saw a cold smile on his lips, and his eyes swept around like ice: "However, if you keep scolding, I don't mind destroying the antidote now."

Those people who were originally cursing in low voices could not help but fall silent, and no one dared to say a word.

The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled onto his distorted face, but the warm sun failed to warm him at all.

He slowly raised his hand and pointed to the gate outside the City Lord's Mansion. His voice was low and powerful: "Remember, Liu Xiaoxi's life and death all depend on my thoughts."

"Liu Xiaoxi's life is just an insignificant chip in this game."

"I want to see whether your anger is more powerful or the bargaining chip in my hand is more powerful."

Zhou Ningjie slammed the table and roared, "Luo Mingjian! Do you think everything you did was right?"

"Although you didn't kill those children yourself, you condoned and allowed your mother Xu Donghua to kill them!"

"You are Xu Donghua's accomplice! What do you have to explain?"

"You made some dirty money from the clinic you opened. Do you think this is right?"

"Is it true that everyone's life is worthless in the eyes of you two?"

"You make money from the hard-earned money of the people, ruthlessly suck their blood, and use their money to go to the gambling house. Do you really think you have done nothing wrong?"

"Their trust in you is almost higher than that in me, the Lord of Yueming City!"

"This is how you repay them? This is how you treat their sincerity?"

"At this point, you are already unforgivable! You even want to drag your wife down with you."

"What did she do wrong in this matter?"

"She just wanted to protect her child, why not? Why is it wrong!"

"Why did you kill her? Poison her!"

"Does Luo Ming still look like a man to you?!"

Zhou Ningjie is usually a very gentle person and is always kind to everyone.

He rarely loses his temper or gets angry, and he has always been a very emotionally stable person.

But today, he really couldn't help it.

The person in front of me is such a jerk. Even at this point he still doesn't repent and is still trying to hurt others.

When the people saw Zhou Ningjie's angry look, everyone looked a little surprised.

Because they all felt that their city lord would not be angry.

But now...

Everyone's eyes turned to Luo Mingjian and Xu Donghua at the same time.

Anyone would lose control of their temper if they met these two beasts.

Shen Yelin: "Luo Ming, if you hand over the antidote now, I can let you die quickly."

"If anything happens to Liu Xiaoxi, you will die miserably."

While Shen Yelin was speaking, Wen Fang had already rushed forward and grabbed Luo Mingjian's hand tightly, and finally took out the poison needle from Luo Mingjian's sleeve.

Wen Fang: "Young Master has found it!"

Shen Yelin: "Send it to Wang Qianzhi, and ask him to find out what the poison is as soon as possible!"

Wen Fang: "Yes, I'll go right away."

Not sure if it was because of Zhou Ningjie’s words or something else, but the smile on Luo Ming’s lips suddenly faded.

At that moment, there seemed to be a hint of realization on his face?

Liu Xiaoxi frowned, her eyes fixed on Luo Mingjian, as if she wanted to see through him.

However, Luo Mingjian didn't dare to meet Liu Xiaoxi's eyes at this moment.

He was — scared.

He regretted it.

Liu Xiaoxi approached step by step, and every step was like a hammer hitting Luo Mingjian's heart.

Liu Xiaoxi endured the severe pain in her body and walked with difficulty to Luo Mingjian. She raised her hand high and slapped Luo Mingjian in the face.

Luo Mingjian just stood there blankly looking at Liu Xiaoxi.

Shen Yelin: "Madam Liu..."

Liu Xiaoxi: "Seventh Young Master, let me talk to him."

Seeing Liu Xiaoxi's current condition, Shen Yelin couldn't stop her, so he could only say, "Okay."

At the same time, Shen Yelin was also paying attention to Xu Donghua's actions. Now Luo Ming realized it belatedly and felt a little regretful and awakened.

But...it's all too late.

After a while, Luo Ming heard a trembling voice and said, "Xiaoxi, I, I..."

Liu Xiaoxi interrupted him. She looked at Luo Mingjian calmly and said, "I didn't expect that you would actually kill me."

"I came here today thinking that you would have two attitudes towards me. One is to curse at me, and the other is to wake up in time."

"The only thing I didn't think of was that you wanted to kill me."

"Everyone told me to keep an eye on you and be careful of you, fearing that you might attack me."

"But I naively thought that you wouldn't do that."

"Luo Mingjian, what do you want me to say to you?"

Liu Xiaoxi's voice sounded particularly cold in the silent court.

She stood quietly in front of Luo Ming, their shadows overlapping on the ground, but just like their state of mind, they could never merge again.

Her eyes are deep, as if they can see into the deepest secrets of human heart.

A complicated smile appeared on Liu Xiaoxi's lips, which contained both disappointment and relief.

Luo Mingjian's hands trembled slightly, and his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something.

The sunlight shone on his face, making it impossible for him to hide the struggle and pain that flashed across his eyes.

He slowly took a step closer to Liu Xiaoxi and met her gaze, as if trying to find a hint of understanding in her eyes, but he only saw endless indifference and determination.

Yeah…he was about to kill him, how could she possibly forgive him.

Besides, she loves Luo Xueyun the most.

But he also wanted to kill Luo Xueyun... and killed five children...

So how could she possibly forgive him?

Liu Xiaoxi raised her hand and slapped him again. Her expression remained calm, but this calmness made people feel scared.

Liu Xiaoxi: "Before Luo Ming met me, I told you that we are done with each other."

"I hate you and blame you from the bottom of my heart."

"But I don't know why, when I learned that you were going to be executed, my heart still ached a little, and I was still a little concerned about you."

"But my heart tells me, and I also tell myself, that only when you die can my lost children rest in peace."

"The anger of the people who were cheated out of their money by your medicine can be appeased."

"As far as I am concerned, only your death can give everyone a good explanation for what you have done."

"But then I thought, the harm you have done to us and everyone else cannot be solved by your death once or twice."

"Everyone wants you dead, including me."

"So I can understand if you want to kill me."

"I tried to convince myself in this way, at least to make me feel less sad."

"But why does it still hurt here? Why does it hurt so much? Luo Ming, please tell me why!" She pointed her fingers at her chest again and again.

Liu Xiaoxi's sudden increase in volume woke Luo Mingjian up completely.

Luo Mingjian: "Xiaoxi..."

Liu Xiaoxi: "Don't call my name!"

The warm golden sun sprinkled mottledly on the open space where the two people were confronting each other. Luo Mingjian's eyes were complicated and deep. He looked at the woman in front of him, and those eyes that were once full of tenderness and trust were now filled with confusion and pain.

Her slender fingers gently touched his chest, and every press seemed to remind him that what was hidden there was not only a beating heart, but also the unspeakable complex entanglement between them.

Her eyes gradually turned red, and tears welled up in them but never fell. It was as if even the tears were struggling, not wanting to let others see her vulnerable moment.

Luo Mingjian's heart tightened. He could feel the pain like a sharp blade, cutting a deep gash in his heart.

He took a step forward slowly, wanting to reach out and touch her shoulder, but stopped at the last moment, fearing that his actions would increase her pain and make her feel sick.

Suddenly Liu Xiaoxi's face changed, her body twitched slightly, and a mouthful of blood spit out of her mouth.

Luo Mingjian: "Xiaoxi!"

Seeing this, Luo Ming hurried forward to support Liu Xiaoxi, but the moment his hand touched her, Liu Xiaoxi shook it away.

Seeing this, Shen Yelin and Zhou Ningjie hurriedly stood up to support Liu Xiaoxi, but the secret guard who had been following Liu Xiaoxi suddenly appeared and supported her.

Although the secret guard's face was covered with a veil, Shen Yelin could still see his concern and anxiety for Liu Xiaoxi from his exposed eyes.

The emotions revealed in his eyes were not pure at all, but were more mixed with his own feelings.

Shen Yelin: "Lin Moyu you..."

He stopped talking halfway.

He really didn't expect that Lin Moyu would fall in love with Liu Xiaoxi.

Lin Moyu looked at Liu Xiaoxi in his arms anxiously: "Liu'er! Are you okay?!"

"Don't scare me!" He spoke with a tearful tone.

When Liu Xiaoxi heard the other person calling her Liu'er, her pupils froze for a moment, and the next moment she recognized who the masked man in front of her was.

Liu Xiaoxi understood the tone of voice and calmed her inner emotions. She endured the severe pain in her body and slowly said, "Lin, Brother Lin?"

Lin Moyu took off the black veil covering his face and said, "It's me, it's me."

There was a hint of a smile on Liu Xiaoxi's face, but that blood-stained smile looked like it would shatter with a single touch.

"No wonder I felt your voice was familiar the moment you spoke to me."

"Oh it's you."

Shen Yelin frowned slightly. He listened to the conversation between Lin Moyu and Liu Xiaoxi. These two people should have known each other before.

It seems that the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary.

Suddenly Shen Yelin also realized something...

Lin Moyu always chose Yueming City as the place to arrange the underground line connection, and it seems that the chosen location is very close to the Luo family.

Shen Yelin is looking at the way Lin Moyu looks at Liu Xiaoxi...

It was impossible to say that he didn't like her.

His eyes had already betrayed his inner thoughts.

Shen Yelin was a little puzzled before. He could obviously choose a nearby place, so why did Lin Moyu always choose Yueming City, which was very far away from them, as the meeting point?

After seeing this situation today, Shen Ye Lin knew why.

He could only watch Liu Xiaoxi from afar in this way.

Liu Xiaoxi asked weakly: "Brother Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Moyu said anxiously: "Liu'er, don't talk yet, you are vomiting blood."

"The Seventh Young Master has already arranged for someone to prepare antidote for you. Just hold on."

“Don’t give up.”

"Aren't you still going to take your Yunyun back to the Liu family? Your Yunyun is still waiting for you to take her home."

"She is so attached to you and likes you so much. If you are gone, she will be very sad and upset."

"You don't want her to be sad, right?"

“So you have to hold on.”

Liu Xiaoxi nodded, and she swallowed the blood that was rushing up: "Yeah."

Yes, Yunyun is still waiting for me.

I can't let my Yunyun be sad. She already has no father, and I can't let her be without a mother.

The next second, Liu Xiaoxi started coughing violently and she coughed up a lot of blood.

Liu Xiaoxi's hands were tightly clutching her clothes, she was really trying to endure the pain brought by the poison in her body.

The fine beads of sweat on her forehead intertwined with the cold sweat, slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the cold ground, and were swallowed up in an instant.

Her breathing became rapid and shallow, and every breath she took seemed like she was using all her strength to fight the poison in her body.

The poison raged in her body like a raging fire, burning her internal organs. Every inch of her skin felt as if it was bitten by thousands of ants, causing her excruciating pain.

But even so, her eyes remained firm, flashing with an unyielding light. She must hold on, she must.

Her Yunyun was still waiting for her, she couldn't just fall down here.

But...what if she doesn't make it...

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxi handed the envelope in her sleeve to Lin Moyu.

"Lin, Brother Lin, if you see Yunyun, then give this letter to her."

"The other one is for Luo Ming."

"You, you must take it well."

Liu Xiaoxi finished saying these words with difficulty, and she vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

Lin Moyu was so anxious that he almost cried. He turned to look at Shen Yelin and said, "Young Master, is Doctor Wang still not well?"

"Liu'er can't hold on any longer."

Shen Yelin: "I'll go and urge the king right away..."

When he stood up and turned to walk outside, a figure came into his sight.

Shen Yelin was stunned for several seconds: "Why are you here?"

When Luo Xueyun looked at Liu Xiaoxi's appearance, she felt her mind go blank in an instant, and her whole body seemed to be swallowed by darkness.

The sun and the light that she had finally possessed were going to disappear just like that?

This is not the result she wanted, not the result she wanted!

Luo Xueyun: "Mom!" Her voice was almost a roar.

Luo Xueyun rushed straight to Liu Xiaoxi, tears already flowing down her face without her knowing it.

"Mom! Mom, what happened to you? Who is it? Who hurt you like this!"

Liu Xiaoxi could no longer see at this time, the poison had damaged her eyes.

Made her completely blind.

In a daze, she seemed to hear Luo Xueyun's call.

Liu Xiaoxi smiled reflexively, but the smile was very forced: "Is Yunyun here?"

Luo Xueyun's voice was filled with tears, and tears could not stop flowing down: "Yes, it's me, I am your Yunyun."
