What do you want from me?

Without giving him any further chance to attack, she took out another small dagger from the back of her dress and she pierced it right onto his other thigh making him let out another loud scream. A sudden gush of pain jolted throughout his body. By now both of his legs were injured, and they began to weaken.

"Damn it!" Ji Chenglang let out a loud curse as h dropped to the ground. His entire body was soaked in the blood. Bruised and winded, with his legs in agony, he seized Su Yanruo's foot and hauled her to the ground.

"Damn!" Su Yanruo muttered under her breath as she fell on her back. Seeing him taking a big vase and throwing it towards her, she sneered rolling on the ground. The big vase crashed onto the ground, breaking into several small pieces.

Thankfully! She rolled over in time otherwise her face would be badly hurt.

Abruptly getting up on her feet, she kicked Ji Chenglang's face and removing the ribbon from around his neck, she quickly tied his hand in order to restrain all of his movements. "Did no one teach you to never mess with a woman's face?" she sneered, raising her foot and striking him on his stomach.

A large amount of blood spurted out from his mouth and he glared at her. Both of his legs were injured making him unable to move, his hands were tied making him unable to attack. He had never been in a situation like this before and this enraged him. But more of his anger was on his stupidity for being lowered into this current situation. His blood was boiling under his veins with fury and anger but all he could do right now was to be her punching bag.

He was completely restrained under her power, and he couldn't even shout for help. "Who sent you here? Who are you working for?" he asked finally looking up to her.

Su Yanruo rolled her eyes at his foolish question. "Why does every guy that I want to kill always ask me the same lame question? Why do you think that someone might have sent me here? Can't I come here on my own?" she asked.

Ji Chenglang's brows twisted in confusion. Looking at this woman now, he couldn't even find a shadow of her previous self. She was nothing like the helpless, bullied damsel in distress. She was more like a fire burning bright to destroy everything in its way.

He again cursed himself internally in his heart for being played by a woman in his own game. 

"What do you want from me?" he asked.

He realized that she might want something from him otherwise he would have been dead by now. He is alive just because he is of some use to her and he wanted to take advantage of this chance to work out a deal with her to save his life.

"Now that's like an intelligent question," she smiled.

"So what do you want from me?" he asked again in a humbler tone.

"Some answers," Su Yanruo replied. Taking out another dagger that was hidden inside the dress, she started moving it in between her fingers.

Ji Chenglang was startled by her move. He glanced at the mini dagger that she was playing with. The dagger glided smoothly in her slender hand just like a snake. For some reason, he felt that her moves were quite familiar to somebody but he just couldn't remember the person.

"Who are you?" he asked as his eyes kept looking at the dagger in her hands.

She smirked increasing the speed of her hand. The dagger started dancing on her fingers as she moved it all around in a beautiful pattern. "Guess?" she said mysteriously.

Frowning his brows, his eyes stayed glued to her hand movements. The more he looked at the danger dancing in her hand, the more he felt that those moves were familiar to him. Suddenly, like an electric bolt, a figure of a woman came into his mind and his eyes went wide in fear, his mouth agape and he gasped back in fear. "Y-you…. y-you are.….," he stammered one word for a while but he didn't dare to complete that sentence. 

Su Yanruo smiled like a devil. "I am?" she asked raising her brows.

"R-r-rose…" he said fearfully.

"Correct answer," she laughed pointing her dagger at him. "Quite smart I must say," she chuckled.

But this chuckle was like a devil's laugh in his ear. His entire body started shivering in fright and his face went pale. This was Rose, the She-devil of the Underworld was standing in front of him. He was dead. There was no other option for him.

"Do you know what I want to hear from you?" she asked.

Ji Chenglang nodded fearfully.

"Then why are you wasting my time. Start speaking!" she barked.

Ji Chenglang's shoulder jumped up with fear. He glanced at her nervously and immediately opened his mouth. "I-I-I…. I didn't kill your mother…. I didn't do it…. Please don't kill me… I didn't do it…." he begged.

SMACK!

As soon as his words were finished, he met with a powerful smack on his face. Another small amount of blood spurted out from his mouth but he didn't dare let out any sound from his mouth. 

"One more lie from you and I will kill you," she roared, placing her dagger at his neck.

"N-no…no, don't!" he requested her. "I am not lying. I didn't kill you mother," he explained.

BAM!

Another fierce punch landed on his face. "Stop lying Ji Chenglang!" Su Yanruo yelled at him. 

"No, I am not lying, Miss Rose. Trust me," he pleaded. "I was part of that murder. I helped them kill the guards around her but I didn't kill your mother. They did," he said.

They?

There were more people involved in her mother's murder. A frown came upon her lips immediately. Clutching his collar, Su Yanruo made him look into her eyes, "Who?" she asked.

Ji Chenglang gulped in fear. "I-It was Qin Juran and Yu Sifeng. They killed your mother; I didn't," he told the truth.

Qin Juran?

Yu Sifeng?

Su Yanruo frowned. She didn't know anything about these people. They were just a bunch of unfamiliar names to her. She tried racking her brains but yet she didn't find anybody she could remember as Qin Juran and Yu Sifeng.

"What was your motive? Why did you guys kill my mother?" she asked.
