Upon spotting Zhang Kaifeng, Lilith panicked for a moment, but quickly regained her composure, glancing at him smugly, raising her chin, and saying arrogantly, "Zhang Kaifeng, the smart thing to do is stand back; bullets don't have eyes!"

"Bullets don't have eyes, but people should have brains!" Zhang Kaifeng ignored Lilith's warning and approached her step by step, his eyes looking at her as if she were a crazy person making a fuss.

"Stand there, don't come any closer!" Lilith screamed, then fired a shot near Zhang Kaifeng's feet.

The ricocheting stones struck his foot, causing a burning pain, but Zhang Kaifeng seemed oblivious. His eyes were fixed on Lilith, and he said coldly, "You should know the consequences of harming Yuqing. I order you to release Yuqing now!"

"Hmph, I've been planning this for so long, why would I let her go just because of your words!?" Lilith thought she had Zhang Kaifeng's weakness, and said arrogantly, "Besides, I won't take Lin Yuqing's life, I just want to show her something fun!"

With a cold smile, Zhang Kaifeng, though at a disadvantage, still exuded elegance, like a nobleman from a bygone era, his body radiating subtle brilliance.

"Lilith, I advise you not to make trouble for yourself. It won't do you any good! Don't you think that even if you want to use Yuqing to scheme something, do you think you'll even live to enjoy it?"

Zhang Kaifeng's words seemed to sway Join. He stood next to Lilith and whispered, "Lilith, I feel something's not right about today. Why did we have to bring Zhang Kaifeng here? Maybe we should leave first!"

“Coward! The people they care about most are in my hands. What do I have to be afraid of?!” Lilith kicked Join, as if scolding a cowardly dog.

Lilith's actions enraged Join. He glared at the woman and began to plot his revenge.

Lilith, lost in her own beautiful dream, smiled sinisterly as she took out a signal flare from her pocket and fired it into the sky.

According to the original plan, Dawei would use a tampered dagger to assassinate Xuan'er. Even if that bastard didn't die, he would be thrown out of the castle by his own people. The height of five stories was enough to make a child fall and be disfigured! This scene would surely be unforgettable for Lin Yuqing for the rest of her life!

Thinking about the exciting show that was about to unfold, Lilith's eyes reddened, and there was a hint of excitement in them.

But after waiting for a full five minutes, Si Wen was starting to get impatient, and there was still no response from the Xiao family. This made Lilith a little panicked, and she quickly called Dawei.

As soon as the call was answered, Lilith impatiently demanded, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you see my signal?!"

After he finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

This moment of silence suddenly made Lilith panic.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything!"

"Lilith?"

The sudden appearance of the unfamiliar voice seemed to step on Lilith's tail, causing her to scream, "Who are you!?"

A figure slowly appeared on the attic. Although it was far away, Lilith knew that the person was undoubtedly "Xiao Mingyang".

David, his expression filled with sorrow, spoke to Lilith over the phone: "This is the only thing I can do for you. Listen to me, abandon everything here, and run!"

Lilith looked confused. She looked in Dawei's direction and asked, puzzled, "Mingyang, what's wrong with your voice? Also, didn't you promise me you'd act in a play with me? Why are you backing out now? Is it because of Lin Yuqing?"

David gave a bitter smile and said quietly, "I have no right to explain anything to you, because I'm just someone who shouldn't be here. I lied to you, I'm sorry. For the sake of the child, you should run away!"

Lilith had too many questions in her mind, but she didn't know what to ask. At that moment, Join suddenly shoved Lilith hard, causing the gun in his hand to fall out of his hand, and he fell to the ground.

Clutching her wrist in pain, Lilith glared at Join and demanded, "What are you doing!"

"What am I doing? Can't you see?" Join grinned maliciously, pointing the gun at Lilith. "You've failed again. You're really disappointing!"

"Who says I failed? I didn't!"

This was the first time Join had seen Lilith from this perspective, and the feeling of holding someone's life and death in her hands was truly amazing! No wonder this woman always liked to trample on his pride. But now, everything was over, and he would no longer be at Lilith's mercy!

Raising an eyebrow at Lilith, Join said smugly, "Stop pretending. Your accomplices have betrayed you. What right do you have to negotiate with others?"

Xiao Mingyang betrayed himself!?

Lilith turned around blankly, only to find that the attic was now empty.

Could it be that the only person I truly cared for abandoned me at the last moment?

A wave of black mist swept over her, almost causing Lilith to lose her balance. But her stubbornness kept her head held high as she glared at Join and roared, "Even if I fail, it's none of your business, you bastard, to have a say!"

Looking at Lilith lying on the ground with pity, Join said, "Hmph, do you still think you're the high and mighty Miss Lilith? You're not even as good as a stray dog ​​now! Let me tell you, if it weren't for..."

boom--

Join was interrupted by a gunshot before he could finish speaking. This was the first time he had ever acted so arrogantly in front of Lilith, and being disturbed made him very unhappy. But when he tried to say something more, Join couldn't make a sound.

"what!"

Lin Yuqing screamed, her face turning deathly pale. Zhang Kaifeng rushed to Lin Yuqing's side, covered her eyes with his hands, and whispered in her ear, "Don't look!"

Before Join could figure out what was happening, he fell limply to the ground, his cheek hitting the ground, his gaze falling on Lilith not far away.

That radiant woman has become this horrible mess. If I hadn't been so infatuated with her beauty, would I have ended up like this?

Join died before he got the answer he wanted, while Lilith, who was next to him, was still breathing, but her complexion was no better than Join's.

Coldly sheathing his pistol, Xiao Jincheng looked at Lilith with loving eyes and said, "How dare you slander my Lilith like that! It's unforgivable! Grandpa has avenged you. Aren't you happy?"
