After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

In the courtyard in front of the villa, several tall and burly bodyguards were holding Pei Xingzhi, who was dressed in black, firmly in their grasp. Pei Xingzhi seemed to be defiant, and despite being outnumbered, he struggled desperately.

Until Xie Zhaoyuan called him.

"Pei Xingzhi!"

Pei Xingzhi was suddenly stunned.

The sound was so startling that he stood there stunned for several seconds before suddenly looking up in the direction from which it came.

Xie Zhaoyuan stood on the steps not far away, staring at him in disbelief.

It had only been half a month since I last saw Xie Zhaoyuan, and she had lost a lot of weight. On this cold night, she was only wearing a thin sweater and a pair of somewhat baggy pants, and her feet were bare without even a pair of socks.

The biting wind lashed against her in gusts, as if it could blow her away at any moment.

He had painstakingly raised his Ah Yuan to be plump and healthy, but in less than half a month under Qin Wushou's care, Xie Zhaoyuan had become even thinner than before. Her face was completely devoid of color.

“Ah Yuan…” His breath caught in his throat, his heart clenched in agony, and he couldn’t speak. He could only call out Xie Zhaoyuan’s name again and again.

“Ah…”

"Pei Xingzhi!" Xie Zhaoyuan's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She never expected that Pei Xingzhi would find her here.

"Zhao Zhao!"

Xie Mingyi and Lin Jiahe followed closely behind, rushing down from the lawn.

Xie Zhaoyuan's eyes lit up instantly when she saw them.

"elder brother!"

"Lin Jiahe!"

Xie Mingyi stared at her with wide eyes, just about to tell her to come out quickly, when he saw Qin Wushuang casually appear behind her.

"Zhao Zhao!" Alarm bells rang in his mind, and he almost roared at Xie Zhaoyuan, "Run out here! Quickly!"

Pei Xingzhi shoved aside the bodyguards blocking his way, running forward while reaching out his hand to Xie Zhaoyuan: "A-Yuan! Come here quickly! Come to me!"

Xie Zhaoyuan nodded, and was about to run towards Pei Xingzhi with a smile when a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.

"Xiao Song, did I say you could leave?"

Xie Zhaoyuan ignored him and shook off his hand, running down the steps. Unexpectedly, he suddenly grabbed Xie Zhaoyuan's shoulder and easily pulled her back with just one hand.

Xie Zhaoyuan frowned impatiently, and was about to struggle when something cold and hard was suddenly placed against her temple.

"Ah--"

When they saw what it was, everyone in the yard gasped.

Xie Zhaoyuan was startled and subconsciously tried to turn her head, but the cold and hard thing was pressing too hard, and her temples hurt as soon as she moved her head.

Helpless, she could only shift her gaze to the right. But what she saw caught her completely off guard: a dark, menacing handgun!

"A gun..." Her heart skipped a beat, and her instinctive reaction was disbelief.

"Qin Wushuang, what are you doing? Is this gun fake?"

"..."

Qin Wushuang did not answer her.

He removed the gun from Xie Zhaoyuan's head, then raised it high above his head and pulled the trigger sharply towards the dark sky.

"Oh!"

A loud bang rang in Xie Zhaoyuan's ears, causing her body to tremble violently. As she smelled the strong odor of gunpowder, her ears were ringing incessantly.

"Ah..." She closed her eyes, her face full of pain.

"..."

The courtyard was quiet for a moment, then immediately descended into chaos.

"Aaaaaah!!! There's a gun! There's a gun!"

"Help! Help!"

"There's a gun! How could there be a gun! Call the police! Call the police!"

"Someone's dead! Someone's going to die!!"

The bodyguards screamed and scattered in all directions. Pei Xingzhi suddenly came to his senses and his face turned deathly pale when he saw Qin Wushuang press the gun against Xie Zhaoyuan's head again.

"Qin Wushuang!!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted those three words, then ran toward Xie Zhaoyuan with red eyes.

Qin Wushuang put her finger on the trigger and spoke lightly before Pei Xingzhi could rush over: "Stop. If you dare to come any closer, I'll take Xiao Song and die right in front of you."

These words were like a stabilizing force; the moment they fell, Pei Xingzhi and Xie Mingyi, who were about to rush over to snatch the person, both froze in place.

Xie Zhaoyuan's face turned deathly pale, and she said in disbelief, "Qin Wushuang, you...you actually have a gun..."

"Hmph..." Qin Wushuang smiled slightly, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Song, isn't it normal for someone like me, who has committed countless evil deeds and deserves to die, to have a gun on me?"

"Qin Wushuang!" Pei Xingzhi stood stiffly at the bottom of the steps, desperately forcing himself to calm down and negotiate with Qin Wushuang.

"Kidnapping isn't a capital offense. As long as you cooperate with the police investigation and behave well in prison, you'll be able to come out and start a new life soon!"

"But killing is different. If you kill Ayuan, you will die too! You are the only useful child in the Qin family. If you die, what will happen to the Qin Group? What will happen to your parents and your sister?"

"I don't have time to worry about them." Qin Wushuang said expressionlessly, showing little reaction when he heard about his parents and sister.

"You want to take Xiaosong away from me? This is worse than being slowly sliced ​​to death for me. I'm living a life worse than death. How can I care about them?"

As she spoke, Qin Wushuang lowered her eyes, gazing tenderly at Xie Zhaoyuan in her arms: "I really don't want to care about them. I just want to be with Xiaosong. We'll stay together in life, and we'll be buried together in death!"

"You—" Pei Xingzhi's rationality was almost shattered by his words.

Xie Mingyi quickly stepped forward and shielded the nearly collapsing Pei Xingzhi behind him.

"Qin Wushuang, you've already ruined Zhaozhao once, do you want to ruin her a second time?" Xie Mingyi stared intently at Xie Zhaoyuan while keeping an eye on the fire on the second floor.

The second floor had long been engulfed in flames, with rampant flames leaping out from the balconies and windows, frantically licking at the villa's exterior walls.

Xie Zhaoyuan and Qin Wushuang stood beneath the burning outer wall, constantly in danger of being engulfed by the flames. Meanwhile, the flames inside the house were slowly spreading downstairs.

The security guards in the villa had already found fire extinguishers, but because Qin Wushou had a gun, none of them dared to approach easily.

Lin Jiahe noticed the fire growing larger and quickly instructed his men behind him: "Call the fire department first, then call 110 to call the police, and then grab the fire extinguishers from the bodyguards to put out the fire!"

"Split up, quick!"

"Who dares to move!"

Qin Wushuang suddenly raised his voice, and the gun pressed against Xie Zhaoyuan's head followed with force.

The gun barrel was too hard, and Xie Zhaoyuan was too scared. As soon as Qin Wushuang made a sound, she tightly closed her eyes and screamed in fear.

"what!!"

"Woo-li-woo-li-"

Along with her scream, the sound of police sirens echoed through the mountains and fields.
