"who is it!"

"!!"

The woman sitting by the door had a deathly pale face.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and he covered his lips tightly, afraid to make a sound.

"... "

Xie Ze lay on the jade bed, his face pale with pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

But in his dazed state, he vaguely sensed a faint fragrance in the bitter air, and Qiao Wanwan immediately came to mind.

Could it be... she's outside?

Why is she here?

Xie Ze felt a little flustered.

We absolutely cannot let his father find out that Wanwan is outside.

Otherwise, her father would definitely have killed her.

Xie Ze watched as Xie Zhentian put down the poisonous insect in his hand and was about to walk out.

A shiver ran through my chest.

He hurriedly called out in a weak, hoarse voice.

"Father…"

The chains on his wrists clanged as he struggled.

At this moment, however, he forgot himself, locked on the jade bed, unable to move.

"!"

The woman hiding behind the door felt a chill run down her spine when she heard Xie Ze's somewhat flustered voice.

Oh no!

Is Master Xie about to come out?

She pressed down on her thighs, feeling too weak to get up.

How to do!

We absolutely cannot let them know that we are spying on them.

Otherwise, she would have died a terrible death.

Qiao Wanwan's mind went blank, but suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her, and she thought of the dumbest method.

My mind is filled with self-hypnosis.

I am a cat.

She pinched her throat and, pretending to be a cat, softly and tentatively called out.

"Meow meow meow~"

"... "

Qiao Wanwan bit her lip, clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and prayed silently:

I hope they believe it's a real cat passing by, and don't come out or pursue the matter.

Perhaps it was heaven that heard her prayers.

Xie Ze's voice came from inside, trying to help.

"Father, it was just a cat passing by outside."

"cat?"

Xie Zhentian raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly disbelieving.

Looking at his son's deathly pale face on the bed, and then at the motionless doorway, he smiled and said:

"A stray cat? When did a stray cat come to our Xie residence? How come I didn't know?"

“This is…my child, he brought it back a few days ago.”

"Oh, Ze'er is so kind-hearted? That's rare indeed. Then I must take a good look at what this cat looks like."

"No, Father, cats aren't really that interesting."

"is it?"

Seeing his anxiety, Xie Zhentian smiled slightly:

"Since your 'pet' has come to us, it would be a shame not to take a look."

Xie Zhentian emphasized those two words heavily, clearly expressing his strong doubt about Xie Ze's words.

Watching him walk towards the door, Xie Ze could only make futile struggles.

"Father, don't hurt her!"

As Qiao Wanwan heard the footsteps approaching from inside, her face turned pale, and her heart pounded wildly.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared beside me.

Qiao Wanwan looked up at the person who had arrived and was slightly taken aback.

Just as Xie Zhentian was about to open the door, it was opened first.

The door was gently opened, and standing outside was Xie Yi, dressed in black, holding a black cat in his hand, which was struggling and meowing.

"Meow~"

Xie Yi knelt down and admitted his mistake to Xie Zhentian.

"Please forgive me, sir. The young master's cat came over at some point and disturbed your medicine testing. Xie Yi just caught it and will leave immediately."

Xie Zhentian glanced at the black cat in his hand and curled his lip in disinterest.

"So it really was a cat?"

Xie Ze, who was inside, saw Xie Yi appear at the door and knew that he had blocked Qiao Wanwan's view, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your punishment, sir."

"Alright, then I'll punish you..."

"Father."

"?"

Xie Ze interrupted him, enduring all the pain, his pale lips taunting him:

"Father's poison seems to have weakened; I don't feel any pain anymore. Is it because your formula is becoming less effective?"

"What?! How is this possible?"

Sure enough, those words clearly stung Xie Zhentian, and he instantly forgot what he had just said.

His face turned ashen, and he hurriedly ran back to the jade bed to begin studying his poisons.

Xie Yi knew that the young master had helped him again.

He stared into the young master's eyes, which were dark and somewhat cold, as if the young master harbored some resentment towards him.

It must be that the young master knew about Miss Qiao's incident at the door, and that he orchestrated everything on his own initiative.

He lowered his head, his throat tightening slightly.

"Xie Yi will take his leave now."

"Let's go, let's go, I won't punish you this time."

"Thank you, sir and young master."

Xie Yi closed the door, grabbed the black cat by the scruff of its neck, and glanced sideways at Qiao Wanwan, who was slumped on the ground.

Without saying a word, he left the scene.

"... "

Qiao Wanwan is completely innocent.

She belatedly realized that it wasn't Xie Ze who had called her over.

It's possible that Xie Yi orchestrated this.

I witnessed that scene.

Why on earth?

Qiao Wanwan was also unaware of this. Could it be that they wanted to use Master Xie to kill her?

They're all lunatics, everyone in the Xie family is a lunatic.

Qiao Wanwan bit her lip, hearing Xie Zhentian laughing loudly inside.

"If you don't feel any pain, then it means your body has indeed taken effect from the medicine. It's worth all the years I've spent nurturing you to become the world's most powerful drug user. Wait here, I'll increase the dosage to make sure your body becomes even more resistant to the drug."

"... "

After Xie Zhentian finished speaking, he took an even more poisonous substance and threw it directly at Xie Ze.

The man who bore everything suffered double the pain.

Every inch of his skin was pierced and stung by something sharp. Cold venom flowed through his bloodstream, and the blood on his body gradually congealed.

Xie Ze's vision began to blur, and the entire space seemed to be spinning.

However, his heart was telling him something clear.

You can't sleep. If you really fall asleep, you'll never wake up again in this lifetime.

So he had to endure it.

He was numb with pain, and just turned his head to look at the door, forcing his eyelids to stay open.

They were all internally mocking themselves:

If Wanwan saw how disheveled she looked, would she hate him?

Even a normal person would be scared if they saw it.

Everyone wants to stay away from him...

...

Hearing the commotion inside, Qiao Wanwan, who was standing outside the door, knew that she was safe now.

She slowly regained her strength, no longer daring to look at the situation inside. Carefully propping herself up, with an upset stomach, she ran straight out of the yard.

With a gust of wind, Qiao Wanwan rushed back to her room and ran straight to the spittoon, hugging it and vomiting.

"Ugh~"

She vomited up all the acid in her stomach and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Cough cough cough."

It choked her so much that tears streamed down her face.

Why is this happening?

Is there not a single normal person in the Xie family?

The thought that Mr. Xie, who seemed so loving towards his child this morning, could be so cruel to his child in private was truly unbearable.

Qiao Wanwan felt a surge of fear.

No wonder the villain has this personality; it turns out it's all due to his father's influence on his values.

For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness when she thought about how the villain had always been treated by his own father.

She knew she was a soft-hearted person and easily empathized with others, which made her feel particularly distressed.

She took a deep breath, trying to reassure herself.

It's alright, the Alliance Leader will be here soon anyway.

Take her away, and never have any contact with these strange people again.

She doesn't need to feel sympathy or sadness for other people's lives or deaths.

Everyone has their own destiny, and there are some things that she cannot stop.

If Xie Yi knew her true feelings, he would be very disappointed. He had placed all his bets on her, only to find she was a useless pawn.

Therefore, Qiao Wanwan chose to pretend that nothing had happened, went back to sleep, and tried to forget about it as soon as possible.

I hope that when I wake up, everything will be back to normal.

The night is dark.

I don't know how much time passed, but the night was extremely agonizing.

Qiao Wanwan tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

Images of Xie Ze being brutally murdered flashed through my mind.

She suddenly became worried that the other person might die.

But soon she realized that her worries were unnecessary.
