The whole family was brutally murdered? The ruthless heiress's eldest daughter went berserk aft

Another lieutenant asked, "General, should we send the brothers from the Dragon Tiger Battalion to investigate?"

Gu Ye pondered for a moment, "Not for now. Let's find out the situation first."

Gu Ye turned to the group and said, "Split up and find Madam's whereabouts before dawn."

The others obeyed and left, while Gu Ye stood alone by the window, gazing at the capital city in the night.

Gu Ye wondered who would arrest someone in public at this time.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Ye went to his room, put on his armor, picked up his sword, and went out.

Meanwhile, in a secluded house on the outskirts of the city.

Murong Xuewei slowly woke up and found herself tied to a chair.

Murong Xuewei looked around and found that it was a simply furnished room with thick curtains covering the windows.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

A familiar figure walked in.

Murong Xuewei's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You sent people to kidnap me!" Murong Xuewei exclaimed in surprise.

Murong Lian sneered, "Murong Xuewei, long time no see."

Murong Xuewei gritted her teeth, "Murong Lian, why did you do this? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Murong Lian slowly walked up to Murong Xuewei and bent down to look into her eyes.

"What do you think? What do you think I want to do?" Murong Lian sneered, looking down at Murong Xuewei.

Murong Xuewei felt a chill run down her spine. This Murong Lian was a madwoman. In her past life, she had held a grudge against her for life because she had never given her a hairpin.

It's likely that the reason she was kidnapped this time was because she stood out too much in front of Xiao Wan Ning, to the point that Xiao Wan Ning almost gave up on Murong Lian.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Murong Lian frowned, turned around and walked out of the room.

Murong Xuewei could hear hushed conversations outside, but she couldn't make out the details.

A moment later, Murong Lian re-entered the room, a hint of anxiety barely perceptible on her face.

"It seems your husband is more capable than I imagined," Murong Lian sneered. "But so what? After today, Murong Xuewei will no longer exist in this world."

Murong Xuewei was overjoyed; it seemed that Gu Ye had already discovered her disappearance.

Murong Lian seemed to see through Murong Xuewei's thoughts, "Don't be too happy yet. Even if he finds his way here, do you think he can save you?"

Murong Xuewei forced herself to remain calm, "What exactly do you want?"

Murong Lian was silent for a moment, then glared fiercely at Murong Xuewei and said, "I've made myself very clear, I want you dead. If it weren't for your existence, I would be the one favored by you, and all your glory should belong to me."

Murong Xuewei was shocked, not expecting that Murong Lian really wanted to kill her.

"Murong Lian, are you sure you really want to kill me?" Murong Xuewei tried everything she could to buy time.

Murong Lian sneered, "Before, in the Murong family in Jiangnan, I couldn't do anything to you, but now this is the capital. I no longer need to rely on the Murong family. Even if you die, it won't have much of an impact on me."

Murong Lian raised the knife in her hand, preparing to bring it down on Murong Xuewei's heart.

Murong Xuewei kept thinking of ways to survive.

"Don't you want to know why Xiao Wanning values ​​me so highly?"

Murong Lian stopped halfway through her stab.

"It's alright, even after you die, I can still help *** make money. Then *** will reuse me." Murong Lian's face was contorted with rage, like a demon crawling out of hell.

"***It's not because of my business acumen."

Murong Lian put down the dagger in her hand and looked at Murong Xuewei.

"If it's not because of your intelligence, then what else could it be because of the Murong family's wealth?"

Murong Xuewei nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's money. Just think about it, the Murong family is known as the richest family in Jiangnan. Just how much money do they have? And think about it, what does the national treasury need right now that it's empty?"

"Need money?"

Murong Xuewei gradually guided Murong Lian to think about money.

He secretly activated the small mechanism on the bracelet while secretly cutting the rope behind his back.

"That's right! Otherwise, why would a dignified *** go into business?"

Murong Lian nodded, feeling that what Murong Xuewei said seemed to make some sense.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Murong Lian noticed that something was wrong with Murong Xuewei's hand.

He immediately went around to Murong Xuewei's back.

Just as Murong Xuewei's rope was about to break, Murong Lian noticed.

Murong Lian forcefully pulled the bracelet off Murong Xuewei's hand and threw it on the ground.

"I knew you weren't that honest." Murong Lian held the dagger to Murong Xuewei's face.

"It's alright. Even if you're after the Murong family's money, I have ways to get the money they've given me delivered. Once you're dead, all the problems will be solved."

Murong Lian raised the dagger high and stabbed it towards Murong Xuewei's heart.

Just then, the door was kicked open, and a pebble flew over and hit Murong Lian's hand.

Murong Lian felt the pain and loosened her grip, the dagger grazing Murong Xuewei's cheek before falling away.

Murong Xuewei drew a small scratch on her face.

Gu Ye led a squad of soldiers in and rushed in.

"Xuewei!" Gu Ye walked quickly to Murong Xuewei and untied the ropes binding her.

Murong Xuewei threw herself into Gu Ye's arms, and tears finally streamed down her face.

Gu Ye gently patted Murong Xuewei's back, "It's alright, I'm sorry I'm late."

Murong Xuewei shook her head, "You've come at just the right time."

Gu Ye helped Murong Xuewei up and asked with concern, "Are you hurt? Did they do anything to you?"

Murong Xuewei shook her head, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."

Gu Ye tenderly touched the tiny wound on Murong Xuewei's cheek, his eyes filled with guilt.

Gu Ye told his men, "Search the entire mansion. We must catch those criminals."

The soldiers obeyed and left, while Gu Ye helped Murong Xuewei out of the room.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Murong Xuewei finished washing up and lay in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Everything that happened today flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Since her rebirth, Murong Xuewei has never taken Murong Lian to heart, and in fact, she doesn't even consider Murong Lian an enemy.

But today, Murong Xuewei almost died at the hands of Murong Lian.

It seems we can no longer underestimate Murong Lian.

It's just unknown whether Xiao Wan Ning knew about today's kidnapping.

Just then, Gu Ye pushed open the door and walked in.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and asked softly, "Still can't sleep?"

Murong Xuewei nodded, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Gu Ye sighed. "Xue Wei, I know you're hiding something from me. But I won't force you to tell me. I just hope you remember that no matter what happens, I will always be on your side."

Murong Xuewei felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Gu Ye's sincere eyes.

She grasped Gu Ye's hand. "General, thank you. I will definitely tell you once I have investigated some things."
