After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Lu Xinyan had a very deep impression of that bodyguard.

After all, that bodyguard was the executioner who ultimately killed her in her previous life, and Yuan Yutong's capable assistant.

This time, Lü Xinyan acted first, dealing with the bodyguard before dealing with Yuan Daniu and Yuan Erniu.

After leaving the Yuan family, Lü Xinyan had already arranged some surveillance methods and kept an eye on her surroundings. She quickly discovered the presence of this secret guard.

Having already gained a good understanding of the secret guards trained by the Yuan family, Lü Xinyan had prepared targeted medications before leaving the Yuan family, just in case.

Since they had encountered that bodyguard, and knowing that Yuan Yutong still didn't want to let her go, Lü Xinyan made her move while they stopped to rest and eat at this dilapidated temple, and it worked.

After killing the guard, Lü Xinyan approached and took out a bottle of corpse-dissolving powder, which she then sprinkled on the guard's body.

In no time at all, the entire corpse rapidly dissolved, turning into a pool of sewage along with the surrounding corroded weeds. It seeped into the ground, leaving nothing behind, without making a sound or even emitting a pungent odor.

Corpse-dissolving powder is a rare and valuable substance, and its effectiveness far exceeded Yuan Daniu's understanding.

Witnessing all this, Yuan Daniu was stunned and realized that Lü Xinyan was not someone to be trifled with. She must have been hiding her true strength and deliberately pretending to be weak to take advantage of others.

After all, with such formidable abilities, could the Yuan family of Yuan-cho County really bully Lü Xinyan?

Throughout their journey, Lü Xinyan had been very cooperative, appearing weak and vulnerable, which was actually a deception to lower their guard and allow her to outmaneuver them to this extent.

It should be said that Lü Xinyan deliberately pretended to be harmless and vulnerable in order to deal with the Yuan family's secret guard, and even the secret guard was fooled.

The thought that they had been deceived by Lü Xinyan all the way and almost did something improper made Yuan Daniu's face turn ashen.

Lu Xinyan is so powerful that he took care of the secret guards and disappeared from the world without a trace. So, will Lu Xinyan use the same method to deal with him and his second brother?

But things have already progressed to this point, and Lü Xinyan even showed him the entire process of destroying the evidence. Doesn't he know too much?

The more Yuan Daniu thought about these things, the worse his face became.

Having thoroughly dealt with the bodyguard and resolved the biggest problem along the way, Lü Xinyan turned to look at Yuan Daniu.

Seeing that Yuan Daniu was already panicked and scared, Lü Xinyan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Lu Xinyan's expression terrified Yuan Daniu even more. He stared intently at the medicine bottle in Lu Xinyan's hand, wondering where Lu Xinyan had gotten such a potent medicine. He dared not touch even a drop of it. Would Lu Xinyan really attack him with such a terrifying powder?

At this moment, seeing that Yuan Daniu was quite frightened, Lü Xinyan finally spoke up: "Yuan Daniu, so what decision do you want to make now? How do you want to deal with me? And how do you want to explain to Yuan Yutong?"

The deterrent effect was quite good, and Lü Xinyan wanted to see what decision Yuan Daniu would make at this moment.

This time, Lü Xinyan's series of actions made Yuan Daniu no longer dare to underestimate her, and he was quite frightened.

Knowing how formidable Lü Xinyan was, Yuan Dani hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully and replied, "Miss Lü, I beg you to release my servant's second brother. My servant was disrespectful to you before, and I will leave it to you to decide what to do with him."

“My second brother is kind-hearted, but because of his status as a servant, he has to do things against his conscience. I beg Miss Lü to spare his life.”

"Miss Lü, we will not complain about how you decide the fate of our servants."

After saying these words, Yuan Daniu bowed again, humbly waiting for Lü Xinyan to make a decision.

With Lü Xinyan's formidable abilities, he had no other choice.

Regardless, Yuan Daniu still hoped to make an effort for his second brother, Yuan Erniu.

Seeing how sensible Yuan Daniu was, still protecting Yuan Erniu even at this critical moment, Lü Xinyan held him in higher regard.

But was Yuan Erniu inherently kind?

Lü Xinyan disagreed with this point.

Fortunately, Yuan Erniu should have already fainted and be unaware of what was happening here. Therefore, Lü Xinyan was not in a hurry to take Yuan Erniu's life.

Of course, Lü Xinyan would still take precautions to keep Yuan Daniu and Yuan Erniu in check.

Lu Xinyan nodded and said, "Letting you go is not impossible, but you'd better forget everything you shouldn't have said and everything that shouldn't have happened. When you go back, keep these secrets safe."

"If you harbor any ill intentions, don't blame me for taking your lives!"

"I'll let Yuan Erniu off this time, since you're a good older brother."

"But remember, I'm even more worried about Yuan Erniu! He's not exactly a kind-hearted person!"

After Lü Xinyan finished speaking, Yuan Daniu frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning behind her words.

Was his timid second brother, Yuan Erniu, not a kind person?

Although he instinctively wanted to refute her, Yuan Daniu held back because he was wary of Lü Xinyan's strength and methods.

However, since Lü Xinyan had made these instructions and was prepared to let the two brothers go, Yuan Daniu quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Lü. I will definitely keep an eye on my second brother and explain these things to him so that he knows what's going on. I will definitely keep this secret."

Lü Xinyan was willing to give Yuan Daniu a chance based on his statement, but she still made other preparations.

Besides covert surveillance and prevention, Lü Xinyan has also used some overt methods.

After a pause, Lü Xinyan looked at Yuan Daniu and added, "You'd better not cause any trouble and not reveal my secrets. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can bear."

"I've poisoned the food you just ate."

"If you don't believe in this, you can press two inches above your navel and see if you feel a sharp, stabbing pain."

Seeing Yuan Daniu's face change drastically, Lü Xinyan smiled faintly and continued, "The poison in your body is different from that of the guard just now."

"As long as you do what you promise, you will get the antidote."
