I traveled through time with my best friend.

The people downstairs looked up and saw Wang Ziyan holding Xu Mu hostage, with Lin Yiyi standing beside them.

After Jiang Xue saw Lin Yiyi, she felt relieved.

When Xu Hong saw his son being held hostage, he immediately widened his eyes and asked, "Let my son go."

"Then let her go first." Wang Ziyan pointed at Jiang Xue and said.

Xu Hong shouted angrily: "Humph, impossible."

"So it seems you don't want to save your son either?"

"you......"

Lin Yiyi glanced at Xu Mu, who suddenly raised his head, as if he didn't know why he was here and was being held hostage. He lowered his head to look at Xu Hong who was standing downstairs.

He shouted in fear: "Dad, why am I here, please save me!"

Xu Hong only had Xu Mu as his son, so it was impossible for him to ignore her. As soon as Xu Mu cried for help, Xu Hong could no longer hold on and quickly shouted to Wang Kui, "Let her go and save my son."

Wang Kui had no choice but to let Jiang Xue go. When he was about to rescue Xu Mu, Jiang Xue quietly drugged Wang Kui. This was the price for daring to hold her hostage.

Wang Kui's legs went weak after he took only two steps, and he knelt on the ground in front of Pei Zhijin.

Xu Hong was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Wang Kui, what are you doing?"

"He is repenting, can't you see it?" Jiang Xue crossed her arms and walked slowly to Pei Zhijin's side.

Wang Kui seemed to be unable to react, with surprise and confusion on his face, not understanding why he suddenly knelt down.

Jiang Xue raised the corner of her mouth, looked at Wang Kui and said, "Just now, I'm grateful that you didn't listen to him and kill me. You are doing this now, which is my kindness to you."

"What did you do?" Wang Kui asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, it's just one of your legs that is disabled. Once the anesthetic wears off, you'll be able to get up."

Pei Zhijin watched as Jiang Xue didn't even make a move, but Wang Kui was poisoned and fell to his knees. He was shocked and wondered when did she poison him.

Xu Hong looked at the smile on Jiang Xue's face and his heart trembled. He never thought that a woman who was so weak as to destroy a man's leg could do so. How did she do that?

"Dad, please save me." Xu Mu's trembling voice rang out again.

Xu Hong looked at Xu Mu with a worried look on his face. Wang Kui was already useless. He had no room for negotiation now. He could only lower his posture and looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Sir, I did all these things. My son is still injured. Look..."

Pei Zhijin looked at Wang Ziyan upstairs, and then said, "Let him go."

Wang Ziyan nodded obediently, but Lin Yiyi stopped him and said, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yiyi in confusion.

"I have something to ask him." Lin Yiyi said and looked at Xu Mu.

However, when Xu Mu looked at Lin Yiyi again, he felt inexplicably scared.

"Let me ask you, they say you raped a woman and took advantage of your family's power to do evil things, but is that true?"

Xu Mu was frightened by Lin Yiyi's aura and his legs started to tremble for some reason. Then he looked at Xu Hong downstairs and cried, "Dad..."

"Answer me." Lin Yiyi said coldly.

Xu Mu's body trembled, and he shook his head and said, "No, I didn't..."

Lin Yiyi kept staring at Xu Mu and said, "Look into my eyes and answer."

Xu Mu really didn't want to look into Lin Yiyi's eyes, but he couldn't control himself. For some reason, he obediently looked into Lin Yiyi's eyes.

The deep eyes were like an abyss, and Xu Mu fell into it again. A hollow voice echoed in his ears, "You should die to atone for your sins!"

"You should die as a token of your sin!"

Lin Yiyi's eyes returned to normal, and Xu Mu suddenly became quiet. Wang Ziyan watched Xu Mu's changes and felt a little strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Lin Yiyi retracted her gaze and said, "Go down."

Xu Mu nodded and walked downstairs obediently.

Jiang Xue also saw Xu Mu's change from below, her expression suddenly became serious, and she was shocked, "What Yiyi did just now, could it be..."

Xu Hong watched Xu Mu walk down safely, and hurried forward to check, "Mu'er, are you injured?"

Xu Mu shook his head dully, staring at the dagger in Wang Kui's hand, and then walked straight over.

"Mu'er, where are you going?" Xu Hong hurriedly chased after him.

However, Xu Mu suddenly and quickly pulled out the dagger from Wang Kui's body, put the dagger to his neck, and shouted: "I am guilty!"

When Xu Hong saw his son holding a dagger against his neck, he hurried forward to stop him.

However, everything happened too quickly. Before Xu Hong could step forward to stop him, Xu Mu slashed his own neck fiercely.

The hot blood sprayed all over Xu Hong's face. Xu Hong was stunned on the spot, then his lips slightly opened, and he watched his son fall to the ground with blood all over the floor.

Everything happened so fast that everyone present, except Lin Yiyi and Jiang Xue, was confused by what had just happened and was shocked.

Jiang Xue looked at Lin Yiyi worriedly, but Lin Yiyi could no longer hold on and was about to fall down. Wang Ziyan stood beside her and supported Lin Yiyi with a worried look on his face.

"Yiyi, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yiyi had already fainted at this time.

"Yiyi!" Jiang Xue watched Lin Yiyi fall down and quickly ran upstairs.

Xu Hong shouted sadly, "No!" His voice was hoarse, and he looked at Xu Mu who was lying on the ground with disbelief in his eyes. He hurriedly rolled and crawled towards Xu Mu who was already dead.

"Son, come quickly, come and save him." Xu Hong shouted for help.

The door of the Red Mansion was pushed open, and Wenchuan rushed over with the people from the government office. Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Wenchuan immediately ran to Pei Zhijin and said, "Sir, this is..."

Pei Zhijin looked at Xu Hong calmly and said, "He is dead."

Xu Hong shook his head in disbelief and said, "Impossible, he just called me to save him, how could he die!"

Pei Zhijin raised his hand and someone immediately went to pull Xu Hong away.

Xu Hong, however, held Xu Mu tightly and refused to let go. "No... No, my son is not dead."

"Take him away!" Pei Zhijin gave the order again.

"Yes."

The people who were about to pull Xu Hong away forcibly pulled Xu Hong away and took Xu Mu away, and Xu Hong was also taken back to the yamen.

Jiang Zhai.

Lin Yiyi didn't wake up until it was dark.

Jiang Xue had been guarding Lin Yiyi's side. When she saw Lin Yiyi wake up, she immediately asked worriedly, "How are you? Do you feel better?"

"Yeah, much better." Lin Yiyi sat up with her hands on the bed.

"Come, drink some water." Jiang Xue handed the teacup to Lin Yiyi.

Lin Yiyi took the water with a pale face and took two sips. She was about to give it to Jiang Xue, but Jiang Xue said, "Drink it. There's medicine in it."
