: A single word seals life and death, even a grandmaster bows! Tonight, I'll force yo

"Young Master Song, I'm so sorry!"

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for offending the gods and demons of heaven!"

Before Song Yunfei could even plead for mercy, he chopped down with his hand.

Song Yunfei didn't even have time to let out a scream before he collapsed limply to the ground.

The female internet celebrity next to her let out a short scream.

He immediately grabbed her hand and tore her expensive shirt to shreds, creating the impression of an intimate encounter inside the car.

"In your next life, open your eyes wider, and don't choose the wrong husband."

Qin Sanye showed no mercy, locking the doors and windows of the Mercedes-Benz van and easily pushing it into the dark river.

"Gurgle..."

A string of bubbles rose to the surface of the river, but it quickly returned to calm.

After doing all this, Master Qin knelt down beside the Ferrari again, his posture even more respectful than before.

He knew that from the moment he pushed Song Yunfei into the river, he was completely tied to Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran finally showed a hint of satisfaction.

"Please keep that piece of lightning-struck wood safe for me."

"Follow me, and becoming a mere Grandmaster of Internal Energy is not out of reach."

He left Qin Sangui with a promise that made him ecstatic, and then ignored him.

The car window slowly rose, shutting out the stench of blood and the cold wind from the outside world.

Zhou Ran turned his head and gave Xiao Hongli, who was already speechless with shock inside the car, a gentle smile.

Inside the car, Xiao Hongli's pupils were not yet fully focused.

The scene outside the car, and the stench of blood blowing from the air conditioning vents, made her stomach churn.

But the gentle and refined young man inside the car made her feel incredibly at ease.

At this moment, she felt fear, shock, and above all, dependence.

Zhou Ran's bloody smell was mostly dissipated by his spiritual power, but there was still a faint smell of rust.

"drive."

Xiao Hongli came to her senses and started the car with trembling hands.

The Ferrari let out a deep roar, circled the dump truck, and disappeared into the night.

......

The night rain in Jiangcheng was falling rather heavily.

At the foot of Yunding Mountain, the Xiao family manor, covering hundreds of acres, was brightly lit, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of oppression and coldness.

The atmosphere in the main hall was so heavy it could be squeezed out of you.

Grandpa Xiao Zhenguo lay in the special care ward on the second floor, his vital signs barely maintained by a ventilator.

Downstairs in the hall, the core members of the Xiao family sat neatly in rows, but none of them wore a look of sadness.

They were more like waiting.

Waiting for the good news that will determine the future of the Xiao family.

"Second brother, do you think that girl really won't be coming back tonight?"

The speaker was Xiao Yufen, the third aunt of the Xiao family.

She wore a dark green cheongsam, held a silk handkerchief in her hand, and had exquisite makeup on her face, but her eyes revealed an undisguised greed.

Sitting in the main seat was Xiao Changfeng, the second son of the Xiao family and Xiao Hongli's uncle. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"I just got the news that at the auction, that pretty boy Hong Li offended the second young master of the Song family in the capital to the point of no return."

"Young Master Song brought two Grandmasters of Transformation Realm with him this time, and also joined forces with Wang Guocheng of the Wuji Sect."

"With this kind of lineup, let alone that girl only has a gigolo by her side."

Even if you send in all of the Xiao family's bodyguards, it's still a dead end.

Xiao Changfeng put down his teacup, his voice resolute.

"That girl is too assertive and too conspicuous."

Even though the old man is ill, she still holds sway over the group and completely disregards us elders.

"If we let her continue to hold power, we might not even be able to get a sip of soup in the future."

"that is!"

Xiao Yufen immediately echoed in a shrill voice,

"She's a woman, she'll get married sooner or later!"

Are we really going to let her take our Xiao family's empire and let it benefit an outsider?

Several collateral relatives in the corner nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Once Xiao Hongli dies and the old man also passes away, the Xiao family's commercial conglomerate will be reshuffled.

They will have the opportunity to sit at the poker table.

"But...she's her own niece after all, doing this..."

The fourth uncle, Xiao Changlin, who had been silent all along, was somewhat uneasy.

"Fourth brother, stop with your laughable womanly compassion!"

Xiao Changfeng's eyes flashed sharply, and he coldly snorted:

"This is the Song family's way of taking action against her. What does it have to do with us?"

We were simply unaware of it!

"This time, Young Master Song is heading straight for the port."

The Song family will acquire our port business at three times the premium. Don't you want that money?

Upon hearing the mention of that fatty piece of meat, Xiao Changlin shrank his neck and fell silent.

It's far more worthwhile to sell this port to the Song family at a premium than to manage it ourselves.

Unfortunately, with Xiao Hongli holding them back, insisting on developing overseas trade, it will be a long time before things start to improve.

Self-interest can render kinship worthless.

Just then, the door to the hall was hurriedly pushed open.

Xiao Changfeng's trusted steward stumbled in, pale-faced and soaked to the bone.

"Second Master! No...something terrible has happened!"

Xiao Changfeng frowned and said unhappily:

"What's the panic! The sky isn't going to fall!"

Has news come from over there?

"Hongli is gone?"

The butler, panting heavily, wiped the rain from his face, his voice trembling.

"No...no...Young Miss...Young Miss has disappeared!"

"Missing?!"

Xiao Changfeng suddenly stood up, smashing the teacup in his hand on the ground.

"How is that possible!"

What about Wang Guocheng and the Song family?

What are they good for?!

The butler swallowed hard.

"The TV station just reported that a serious car accident occurred on the riverside highway."

It is said... it is said that more than a dozen bodies were found at the scene...

The second young master of the Song family, as well as the Song family's grandmaster, are all inside...

The only thing missing... the young lady was nowhere to be found.

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's expressions became incredibly interesting.

Shock, confusion, and deep disappointment.

Xiao Changfeng slumped back into his chair, his face terribly gloomy.

……

at the same time.

A black Ferrari sped through the rain.

The heating in the carriage was already turned up to the maximum, but Xiao Hongli felt as if she were in an ice cave, shivering with cold.

Her lips had turned bluish-purple, and a thin layer of white frost had formed on her eyebrows and the ends of her hair.

That bone-chilling cold erupted from her lower abdomen and spread rapidly through her meridians to every part of her body.

"It's so...cold..."

Xiao Hongli's jaw was chattering wildly, her hands gripping the steering wheel were stiff and unresponsive, and her vision began to blur.

This is a sign of a cold poison attack.

Tonight, the betrayal of her family, the shattering of her hopes, and the threat of death—a series of blows—completely ignited the chilling aura that had been accumulating within her for over twenty years.

This outbreak is a hundred times more ferocious than any previous one.

"parking."

Zhou Ran noticed the disorder in her breathing and his voice suddenly turned deep.

"I...I can still hold on..."

Xiao Hongli shook her head weakly, afraid that there were pursuers behind her, and that Chen Ya was also threatened.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to explain it to Zhou Ran...

"I told you to stop the car!"

Zhou Ran stopped wasting words, reached out and gripped the steering wheel, and steadily pulled the speeding Ferrari to the side of the road.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over.

At this moment, Xiao Hongli's consciousness began to dissipate.

Her skin was pale and translucent, icy cold to the touch, and even her breath carried a white mist of cold air.

Zhou Ran's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

This is not a simple backlash from the cold poison; it is a fatal calamity triggered by utter despair!

If she is not rescued immediately, her heart will be completely frozen and shattered within half an hour, and she will die.

"Go to the back seat."
