70 070: Yue Xuexia's Cruelty II

Everyone in the room was in disbelief when Yue Xuexia, a beauty resembling a fairy, suddenly appeared. What a lovely young woman. Her distant aura, frigid disposition, and refined manner are all irresistible. People would have accepted this lady as a princess in a far-off land if she had been described as such. Sadly, this is a demon that has come to take their life rather than a princess.

Based on the details they had seen in her profile, every member of the Du Clan had identified her. Suddenly, the old leader of the Du Clan had risen from his throne and kneeled down in front of her. When the elders saw their old clan leader in this state, they all knelt down and followed him. The couple and the insane young guy, who had already been thrown to the ground, were staring at Yue Xuexia with dreadful looks on their faces. This woman has the power to determine how they will finish.

Tan Bingyu pulled out a chair and sat down for her mistress. She motioned for Yue Xuexia to take a seat while setting it behind her. Following instructions, Yue Xuexia sat down.

Yue Xuexia said, "You should know why I came here." Her cold gaze moves from the group of old men to the woman tied up on the ground, glaring at her.

Madam Xu shouted, "Why didn't you die? You should have died! As long as you are gone, everything will have been alright."

"Are you the one who sent killers to kill me?"

A hysterical laughter resounded in the room. "Hahaha~ of course, I am. I want you gone. You and the family that gave birth to you. How can you touch my son!? I only have this one son!" Madam Xu said.

Yue Xuexia watched her craze, shouting with an expressionless face and dull eyes as if looking at a dead corpse.

She asked, "Killing me is one thing. Why involve my family in it?"

"How laughable! Isn't it better for a family to be neat and tidy? Since you're gone, your family can go with you. Hahahaha~" The lady had gone insane with anger and fear. In the end, he became fearless, as she already knew that regardless of her words today, she would still be dead, and she wasn't wrong about that.

Tan Bingyu senses that his mistress's anger is growing as long as this foolish woman talks without fear. She was aware that her mistress became more frightening the quieter she became. This was hardly going to be a successful assassination attempt for someone as overly guarded as her mistress. In fact, the Du Clan would probably become involved and aware of her mistress's fury if it were not for Du Yuming.

Yue Xuexia said, "Du Yuming. You can take anyone from Du Clan in this room away. I will give you 30 seconds to bring them out. That's the reward you get for saving me. I shall spare those you brought out. Begin!" She closed her eyes as if wanting to rest them. Beside her, Tan Bingyu was doing a countdown for those 30 seconds, which her mistress had given to the Du Clan.

Tan Bingyu said, "30. 29. 28... 27. 26. 25..."

Only when Tan Bingyu gave him a glance did he hurriedly make a move and help his father and grandfather out first.

Du Yuming said, "Father, Grandfather, Clan Leader, and elders. Please come out with me." He even helped his trembling elders out of the room in which they bumped into Taiyang, who were dragged to people that looked like they had passed their fifties.

This elderly couple has labored from the start to the finish and is no longer presentable. When Taiyang found them, they were occupied with torturing the servants. Their daughter appears to have a restricted and conceited mindset. If someone insulted them or was superior to them, they could not take it.

The group of employees who unintentionally spilled tea on the elderly woman's dress—which in turn caused her to become enraged and beat the maids—were the tortured maids. This old lady's partner, an old man who is sadistic and enjoys watching people suffer, is likewise not a good man. He thus found amusement in seeing his elderly wife physically abuse young maids.

Remaining apathetic, Taiyang seized the elderly couple as soon as he noticed they resembled the picture Tan Bingyu had provided him. Like two sacks of potatoes, he dragged them over and paralyzed their legs.

Upon recognizing the two individuals being led by Taiyang, Du Yuming and the Du Clan deduced that the Xu Clan must now be in disarray or essentially extinct. Who instructed them to provoke that demon?

The elderly couple made a help request after realizing they were among the Du Clan members. They were unaware that the Du Clan narrowly avoided becoming embroiled in their daughter-in-law's reckless behavior.

"In-laws, save us!"

"This man trespassed in our house and beat up all the guards."

"He kidnapped us! Save us!"

Unfortunately, no one from the Du Clan was willing to help them, and they even stayed away from them.

Taiyang glanced at them and asked, "Want to save them?"

Du Yuming and the rest of the Du Clan shook their heads, indicating that they were not going to become involved. The elderly Xu Clan couple recognized their daughter must have offended someone they should not have when they saw them respond this way.

"No. No. We don't know them!"

"That's right. They are strangers. We don't know them at all."

"They had nothing to do with us!"

The old couple from the Xu family looked at their in-laws in disbelief. They were enraged by how the family of their son-in-law treated them like this.

"You bastards! How can you do this to us!? We gave you our daughter to marry your useless son, and this is how you treat us!"

"Old bitch! It's that stupid daughter of yours that dragged my son down. If she didn't give birth to that evil spawn, our Du Clan wouldn't land ourselves in this state. Your evil blood caused all these problems." The elder, who is also the father of the husband who is married to the daughter of this old couple, bellowed at them. He didn't even know if his son would be spared because of his wife's stupidity.

Taiyang enjoyed this drama for a while until he got bored and interfered in their conversation. "Okay. Enough of that. It's better to give you two to Xue'er to clean up." He then looked at the Du Clan and added, "By the way, the military might come so you guys can talk to them yourself."

It was only then that Taiyang left the Du Clan waiting outside and dragged the elderly couple inside the chamber. They had no idea what was going on in the hallway of their house, but they were certain it would not be easy.

Happy to bring the elderly couple inside, Taiyang had them kneel in front of Yue Xuexia.

"Xue'er, I've found what you want~" Taiyang said.

Yue Xuexia said, "Okay. We will eat what you want for dinner."

"I want to eat sushi then," Taiyang said.

Tan Bingyu said, "I will call in for reservations."

In the meantime, Madam Xu and her husband noticed the two elderly couples who were made to kneel in front of them. They were shocked to learn that a member of the Xu Clan could even bring some members of their family this easily.

Madam Xu shouted in shock, "Mother! Father! Impossible! How can you be here!?"

"Daughter!? What the hell is happening!? Who is this young lady?"

"What the hell did you do? Someone just came to the Xu Clan and grabbed us. Moreover, the military even came to our house to give away a sealing order and turn a blind eye to our situation!"

"Sealing order!!!"

Yue Xuexia was annoyed by the noises in the room and mumbled, "So noisy."

With lightning speed, Tan Bingyu moved to press the mute acupoints of the kneeling individuals. When Yue Xuexia saw this, she thought her subordinate was a true expert and gave a small nod of approval.

Yue Xuexia said, "Sister Bingyu, do you have a gun? Something smaller than the one I used before."

"Here, Mistress." Tan Bingyu took one from her back and passed a Ruger LCR 38 revolver gun to Yue Xuexia. There are already bullets inside.

When Yue Xuexia received the little revolver from Tan Bingyu, she thought it was lightweight and very helpful. Despite her lack of gun knowledge, Yue Xuexia was proficient with a revolver. Everyone in the room was terrified when a gun entered, Madam Xu most of all.

Yue Xuexia looked at her coldly and said, "I heard you say that it's only right for my parents to die just because they are my parents. Actually, those killers you hired almost succeeded. If not for some fated preparation from my side, you would have killed my family as you ordered. That's why I shall do the same thing."

She took hold of the elderly woman's hair, who happens to be Madam Xu's mother. They are still under the effect of the silent charms, so they are completely unable to communicate and beg. Unfortunately, Yue Xuexia is ruthless when it comes to her opponents; dread, shock, and pleads showed in their eyes. In particular, for those who went after her family. With tears welling up in her eyes, Madam Xu gazed at Yue Xuexia as though pleading with her.

Yue Xuexia coldly looked down on her with an expressionless face. "If I were the only target, I wouldn't care much; killing you was enough, but since you wanted my family dead too, then... your family must also pay, right? A life for a life. A family for a family. I will never let those who dare to harm my family exist, no matter who they are." The trigger of the gun was pulled without hesitation.

BANG!

The revolver gun aimed at Madam Xu's mother's back of the head burst with a thunderous explosion right in front of everyone's eyes. Blood rushes from the wound and contaminated, white flesh, appearing to be part of the brain, were mixed in with the bullet that went through the head. Madam Xu's mother met her immediate demise.

THUD!

Madam Xu was shocked to see the icy corpse fall on her. She could not bring herself to yell. Her spouse believed that if he became involved in this scenario, he would also perish. He clearly put some distance between himself and his wife by crawling away from her. This frightened man would never spend his life saving her. He had no desire to go with her in the first place. They had never married for love.

Yue Xuexia, as if unaffected by the scene, glanced at the husband, who immediately moved away the moment he saw death.

"It seems that your husband doesn't care much about you. Anyway, I'm getting bored. It's better to clean you all up."

Madam Xu was shocked to see the icy corpse fall on her. She could not bring herself to yell. Her spouse believed that if he became involved in this scenario, he would also perish. He clearly put some distance between himself and his wife by crawling away from her. This frightened man would never spend his life saving her. He had no desire to go with her in the first place. They had never married for love.

Gasp!

The man said, "Please spare me! I truly didn't know that she would do that! I didn't have a plan to move the lady or her family. I didn't even think about it!"

Yue Xuexia said, "I only spare you because you don't seem to be involved in it. But you wouldn't take revenge, wouldn't you?"

"Definitely not! I don't want to die, so I will never do it. Please don't kill me!"

Hmp!

"Useless!" Yue Xuexia stood up and gave the gun back to Tan Bingyu. Before she left, he said, "Take good care of your son. If your Du Clan offends me for the second time, you won't need to exist anymore."

"We won't. We don't dare to offend the lady for the second time."

Yue Xuexia did not leave with Taiyang and Tan Bingyu until after that. As Taiyang said, the troops arrived after they left the Du Clan's residence. They assisted with the cleaning and made everyone present in the mansion sign a sealing order that day. The details of what transpired that day are kept a secret, as are the identity and existence of Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and Yue Xuexia, the young woman who was with them.

It is difficult to conceal what transpired that day, particularly for the large clans that keep an eye on all the social shifts in their community. The news was never a secret for the Tian Clan, the Chen Clan, the government, or the military. They only decided not to tell the other family the specifics. All rich families in the district are aware that the Du Clan had shut down for a few months following this disaster and the Xu Clan had gone bankrupt. At this point, nobody is unaware of Yue Xuexia's name.
