The second brother stared dangerously at Qiao Chuchu, squinting his eyes.
Since childhood, he had never heard anyone curse at him.
He gripped the knife tightly, intending to make a deep cut and draw blood.
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the shadows, disarming him and taking the knife firmly into its grasp.
The second brother followed the line of the knife, his eyes meeting the angry glare of Huai Ling.
Huai Ling angrily signed, "If you can’t take the heat, then get lost!"
The second brother paused, a laugh of disbelief escaping him. "She cursed at me."
"So what?" Huai Ling mocked as he looked him up and down, "Can’t you take it?"
The fourth brother, twirling his prayer beads, casually spoke, "Brother, the second’s right. If you’re playing this game, you can’t throw sand in the air. It’s not surprising at all."
Some people act friendly on the surface, but behind your back, they’ll kill you. It’s not that uncommon.
The fourth brother turned his gaze to Qiao Chuchu with curiosity. "Isn’t this kind of transparency a good thing?"
He signed again, "Besides, can you really control someone’s thoughts? Can you guarantee that you never curse in your own mind? Moreover, she doesn’t know who you are. If she did, she probably wouldn’t curse at you."
The second brother was swayed, but still a little annoyed. He looked at Weisheng Yucan and the eldest brother.
Weisheng Yucan sneered, "You’re pathetic. You can’t even handle something so small. You kidnapped someone, and they’re being obedient on the outside, while cursing you on the inside. What’s the problem?"
The second brother asked, "Did she curse at you?"
Yucan shook her head, a smug expression on her face. "She’s always complimenting me. Otherwise, why would she have saved me?"
The second brother turned to Weisheng Huai Ling. "Did she curse at you?"
Weisheng Huai Ling’s expression was cold, "She complimented my looks."
The second brother: "......"
That’s probably the most worthless compliment ever. None of them were unattractive.
He grumbled and looked at the eldest brother.
The eldest brother rolled his eyes at him.
The second brother: "......"
Alright.
He realized he had gotten a bit carried away.
Since he was a child, everyone around him had always been extremely respectful, not daring to speak loudly in his presence. This was the first time he’d heard someone metaphorically kick him into the tree branches.
He felt a bit guilty and tried to wipe away the red marks left on Qiao Chuchu’s neck from the knife’s pressure.
Qiao Chuchu jolted!
[What the hell is he doing?! Why is he suddenly touching me?! Pervert, don’t touch me!]
Weisheng Lin quickly withdrew his hand.
...
So annoying.
A knife threatening her didn’t work.
Touching her didn’t work.
Qiao Chuchu’s breathing quickened, feeling like she was about to collapse.
[I can’t believe this! In the more than twenty years I’ve lived, these two days have felt like I’ve used up all the kidnappings in my life! A whole group of people coming to kidnap me.]
She couldn’t figure it out.
[Who’s behind all this? Who could kidnap me without alerting my brother or the security at home? Could they be some legendary professional assassins? This world is known for them.]
Weisheng Huai Ling raised an eyebrow and began playing with the small knife in his hand, smiling ambiguously at Qiao Chuchu.
Weisheng Lin: "?"
Then it dawned on him, "You’re not actually interested in her, are you?!"
The older siblings watched Weisheng Huai Ling with keen interest.
Huai Ling smiled without a flicker of sincerity. "No."
He walked behind Qiao Chuchu, placing his hand on her shoulder, feeling her body shudder in response.
He smirked with wickedness, "She’s the only one whose voice I can hear in this world."
"Her purpose to me is simply her voice."
He quickly pressed the knife to her cheek!
Qiao Chuchu gasped in shock!
Huai Ling, like a snake, slowly pressed against her other cheek.
Qiao Chuchu tried to pull away, but the knife pressed against her neck kept her in place.
She had no choice but to turn toward him, but he seemed to be waiting for her to come closer, and his face immediately pressed against hers.
She wanted to avoid it, but the back of her face was pressed so hard by the knife that she could barely breathe.
She could only endure the disgust, her face pressed against the stranger’s.
Huai Ling leaned in even closer, his smile widening, continuing to hold her with the knife.
Qiao Chuchu shuddered more, shrinking toward him.
Weisheng Yucan: "......"
It felt like witnessing a python slowly trapping a little rabbit in a snare.
Qiao Chuchu was on the verge of breaking down.
[This is pure perversion! So disgusting! He’s forcing me to get closer to him!]
[At least this guy smells nice, faintly elegant, and he maintains personal hygiene. If it was some creepy guy with a stinky body odor, I’d probably puke right now.]
[...Should I just puke now? Right in his face! No one’s getting away with this!]
Weisheng Huai Ling: "......"
Weisheng Yucan was amused. "Hurry up. Before this guy tries to throw something dirty at us, let’s get to the point."
Weisheng Lin nodded, stepping onto Qiao Chuchu’s chair. "I’ll ask you. Did you see Weisheng Yucan today?"
Qiao Chuchu, still bewildered, answered, "I did."
Weisheng Lin sneered. "How was her attitude toward you?"
Qiao Chuchu: "...Pretty good."
[Why are they asking me about this? Everything’s about the Weisheng family. Are they enemies?]
Weisheng Lin smirked, his voice low. "I know you saved Weisheng Yucan’s life today. You really are kind-hearted."
Qiao Chuchu’s voice trembled from fear. "I don’t know if I’m kind-hearted anymore, considering if you kill me, I’ll have a cold heart."
"I won’t kill you." Weisheng Lin teased, "You saved Weisheng Yucan. She’ll definitely want to thank you properly. She won’t be wary of you. How about this? You do me a favor, and I’ll let you go tonight. I’ll never come after you again. What do you think?"
Qiao Chuchu hesitated. "What favor?"
Weisheng Lin grinned. "Help me kill Weisheng Yucan."
Qiao Chuchu: "What?!"
She couldn’t accept it. "Why don’t you ask me to go kill Tang Seng and his disciples too?!"
Weisheng Lin: "...If I asked you to kill Tang Seng, could you even find him?"
Qiao Chuchu replied without hesitation. "Yes, if you let me go now, I’ll call Monkey Brother."
Weisheng Lin: "......"
Yucan: "......"
Huai Ling: "......"

Weisheng Lin’s lips twitched in frustration. "I just want Weisheng Yucan dead. Are you going to do it or not?"
Qiao Chuchu hesitated, then cautiously asked, "If I do it, can you really let me go now?"
Weisheng Lin: "Of course."
Qiao Chuchu didn’t hesitate. "Then I’ll do it!"
[Once I’m safe, I’ll warn Yucan that someone’s trying to kill her. But right now, I have to focus on staying alive. Even if I had a chance to be reborn, I can’t waste it. After all, this world is trying to erase me, and I still need to survive until the end!]
Oh?
All five of them raised their eyebrows.
She still has a chance at rebirth?
This world is still trying to erase her?
Weisheng Lin was finally intrigued. "How do I know you’re not just pretending, lying to me, waiting for the chance to warn Weisheng Yucan?"
Qiao Chuchu sincerely replied, "I won’t say anything! You managed to bring me here without anyone knowing. You must be professionals. If I talk, I’m just digging my own grave!"
[Grandfather, I’m going straight to Yucan’s house! I’ll tell her about your plan! I don’t believe someone as clever as Yucan can’t catch you all. When that happens, I’ll play a song on the suona at your gravesite!]
Weisheng Lin: "......"
Yucan’s intelligence?
Does Qiao Chuchu really think that highly of Yucan?
They all silently turned their eyes to Weisheng Yucan.
Yucan placed her hands on her chest and nodded proudly to everyone.
Yes, it’s her.
She’s the smart, captivating, decisive leader of the Weisheng family, in Qiao Chuchu’s eyes.
Weisheng Lin chuckled, continuing to intimidate Qiao Chuchu, "I’ll be watching your relationship with Weisheng Yucan. The moment you tell her anything, we’ll know."
Qiao Chuchu sighed. "Ah... Don’t worry, I won’t say a word."
[This is troublesome. If I’m being monitored in my relationship with Yucan, who else can I turn to?]
[The Weisheng family has five big shots, but the smartest one is definitely Yucan.]
[The others are all weaklings. I don’t even know if they’ll understand me. They might even throw me out.]
[After all, it’s Weisheng Yucan and four useless brothers.]
Weisheng Lin: "?"
Weisheng Huai Ling: "?"
The fourth brother, twirling his prayer beads: "?"
The eldest brother, watching from the sidelines: "?"
