The man's face betrayed his surprise: "Bai Ruoshui, it's you!"

Ruoshui and Bai Yuwei were equally surprised, because the person in front of them was none other than the male protagonist, Su Nanxi.

Ruoshui's lips curled up slightly, her smile both alluring and wicked: "Why can't it be me? It's you, Su Nanxi, who's been hiding your true colors quite well."

"How did you get here? Why are you and Bai Yuwei in my study? And what does what happened on Island No. 3 have to do with you?" Su Nanxi asked Ruoshui, her eyes narrowed.

"Come if you want," Ruoshui shrugged, saying nonchalantly.

"What does what happened on Island No. 3 have to do with you?" Su Nanxi continued to ask.

"I blew it up, so what?" Ruoshui crossed her arms and looked at Su Nanxi with a relaxed expression.

Bai Yuwei: Do you have to be so honest, my little cutie?

Su Nanxi: What's wrong? You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? That's an island! You just blew it up like that?

"Heh, I knew it was related to you," Su Nanxi sneered.

"Are you out of your mind? Of course it's my fault. I already said I blew it up. Why are you acting like you're so smart?" Ruoshui said to Su Nanxi with disdain.

Ruoshui's unconventional way of speaking left Su Nanxi speechless with anger and unable to refute her.

"Bai Ruoshui, I've spoiled you too much, making you too arrogant and ignorant."

Su Nanxi narrowed his already somewhat long and narrow eyes, making him look even more unsettling.

"Do you still think I'll pamper you like before? You're no longer of any use to me," Su Nanxi continued.

"Ha, are you kidding me, brother? Please, how much is your favor worth? It's not like nobody cares," Ruoshui said.

Ruoshui's eyes were playful, and a mocking sneer hung on her lips. She didn't take Su Nanxi seriously at all.

Su Nanxi clenched his fists. Ruoshui's cold smile provoked him. That smile made him feel that he was nothing to Ruoshui.

Having always been admired, Su Nanxi experienced for the first time what it felt like to be looked down upon.

Ruoshui's eyes were deep and clear, like a spring. In front of those cool eyes, everything felt as insignificant as dust.

Looking into those eyes, Su Nanxi couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority. In order to win back some points, Su Nanxi began to berate Ruoshui.

"You think you're so great? You're just someone else's discarded pawn. You don't even know that you're not your parents' biological child."

Su Nanxi's tone was full of malice; he couldn't wait to see Ruoshui's breakdown after learning the truth.

But he was destined to be disappointed. Ruoshui remained standing there calmly, her eyes cold and unreadable.

“What’s so surprising about that? I knew that a long time ago,” Ruoshui said.

Seeing that her words had failed to stir even the slightest ripple in Ruoshui's heart, Su Nanxi continued maliciously:

"Oh? Is that so? It seems I really underestimated you, Bai Ruoshui. Do you want to know who your biological father is? If you do three things for me, perhaps I will tell you."

"I don't want to know," Ruoshui clearly seemed uninterested.

Su Nanxi: I can't respond to that.

Su Nanxi's greatest skill is grasping other people's desires and wants, thereby controlling them for her own use.

But Ruoshui is that kind of person, without desires or wants, and no one can control her or guess what she really wants.

Such people are the most terrifying.

Seeing that she couldn't control Ruoshui, Su Nanxi turned to Bai Yuwei and said:

"Did you know that in order to get the Bai family to adopt Bai Ruoshui and take care of her wholeheartedly, Bai Ruoshui's father deliberately sent someone to kidnap you?"

"Bai Ruoshui has taken everything that originally belonged to you—your family, your parents, and the affluent life you should have enjoyed," Su Nanxi said, sowing discord.

"It doesn't matter, I think Ruoshui is more important," Bai Yuwei said.

Bai Yuwei has met countless parents in the vast world, but there is only one Ruoshui. Compared to Ruoshui, the others are really unimportant.

Ruoshui and Bai Yuwei remained standing opposite Su Nanxi, quietly watching her as if they were watching a play.

Su Nanxi was enraged by their gazes: "You two, not only do you refuse to listen to reason, but you also seem to have low IQs."

"While I was talking to you, I already notified headquarters. You two, cherish your time now, because you don't have much time left to live," Su Nanxi said with a chilling smile.

Ruoshui stroked her chin thoughtfully. "Hmm, no wonder you were being so long-winded, like an old woman. You were just stalling for time."

“Yes, he seems quite clever,” Bai Yuwei added.

The two discussed it in a flat tone, as if they were saying, "Oh, my dog ​​can shake hands today, he's so smart."

The two men's complete disregard for her provoked Su Nanxi, who shouted, "Enough!"

"You two will pay the price for your arrogance," Su Nanxi said, pulling a gun from her desk drawer and pointing it at Ruoshui.

The gun muzzle gleamed with the eerie luster of metal, and Su Nanxi looked at Ruoshui and Bai Yuwei as if they were two dead men.

"In my next life, I hope I can be reborn into a better family and not be a pitiful pawn again."

After saying that, a gunshot rang out, and Su Nanxi pulled the trigger.

However, to Su Nanxi's surprise, Ruoshui did not collapse. A female voice rang out, clear and melodious, yet icy cold and devoid of any warmth:

"A pawn? Ha, isn't it you who's being used as a pawn?" Ruoshui sneered.

Although Ruoshui was smiling, she inexplicably gave off a cold feeling.

Seeing that his first shot missed, Su Nanxi fired several more shots at Ruoshui.

Ruoshui remained standing in place, looking calm and collected. Just as the bullet was about to reach her, she slightly shifted her body, and the bullet was easily dodged.

For Ruoshui and Bai Yuwei, dodging bullets so easily was like an everyday occurrence; Ruoshui didn't even bother to activate her protective barrier.

But all of this seemed terrifying to Su Nanxi. What kind of reaction and speed could allow someone to dodge bullets so easily?

"Honestly, I should have just beaten you up from the start. I was hoping you'd say more so I could get some useful information out of you."

"But I didn't expect you to be so useless. Not only is not a single word you say useful, but you also ramble on and on," Ruoshui's voice carried a hint of impatience.

"Looks like the best solution is to just tie you up. Ask me anything you want to know, and if you don't answer, I'll beat you up."

Su Nanxi had already lost confidence when he saw that the bullets were ineffective against Ruoshui, and now that he heard Ruoshui was going to tie him up, he felt even more uncertain.

Su Nanxi is a very cautious person who strives for absolute certainty in everything she does.

Judging from Ruoshui's previous skills, he had absolutely no chance of winning against her.

Therefore, Su Nanxi did not hesitate to choose to get away from here first.

After making the decision to escape, Su Nanxi first pretended to fire a few shots at Ruoshui, then turned around and ran towards the door.

Just as I was about to run to the door, I saw a woman already standing there, blocking the door.

The woman, dressed in a plain-colored dress, was standing at the doorway with a faint smile on her lips—a smile that was both alluring and wicked, carrying a hint of mockery and sarcasm.

The woman parted her lips slightly and said, "Oh dear, how can you be so rude? You're leaving without even saying goodbye."

Ruoshui's voice was clean and pure, captivating the listener. As Ruoshui finished speaking, Su Nanxi felt a sharp pain in her head.
