The entire VIP section saw Weisheng Yucan raise the hot water cup in her hand, silently toasting to Qiao Chuchu.
Qiao Chuchu, completely unaware, began to drift off like a fool.
[It’s not that I’m wrongfully accusing those four people, after all, after Weisheng Yucan died, those four seemed to be like their intelligence was forcibly lowered. One by one, they started to send themselves toward Ji Yanchuan.]
[Specifically, the plot didn’t clearly write it out, it just gave a general description. Overall, after Weisheng Yucan died, the Weisheng family started to cause trouble one by one.]
[First the fifth brother, then the fourth, the third, and finally the eldest.]
[The eldest seemed to still have some sense, but by then all his brothers were dead, and he was a lonely commander who was killed by the male lead out of anger.]
Eldest brother: “?”
He was killed out of anger?!
The other brothers teased him with their looks.
Usually, he had a cold and aloof expression that no one dared approach, but who knew his temper was so bad that he could actually die of anger?
Hahahahahaha!
Qiao Chuchu squinted her eyes. [The fifth brother seemed to have crashed into Ji Yanchuan, but was killed by Ji Yanchuan's counterattack.]
Weisheng Huai Ling: “?”
The brothers teased Weisheng Huai Ling again.
Isn’t he supposed to be a top-tier mercenary? Isn’t he supposed to accomplish all the tricky tasks for his employer without a hitch? How did he end up getting counter-killed in a car accident?
Weisheng Huai Ling: “...”
[The fourth brother seemed to have fallen in love with Xia Xuechun and deliberately planned a kidnapped romance, but Ji Yanchuan found out. The two fought on the edge of a cliff, and the fourth brother lost his balance and fell off, dying a miserable death.]
Weisheng Huai Ling suddenly looked happy, surprised, and glanced at the fourth brother.
The other brothers also mocked the fourth brother.
Wasn’t he supposed to be the pure and quiet Buddhist? Wasn’t he supposed to eat vegetarian meals and recite Buddha’s name? How could he fall for a woman that Ji Yanchuan liked? Is he even a man?
The fourth brother’s lips twitched, his nose bent in anger.
Has he really fallen that low? Died for love?
Qiao Chuchu continued to think: [The second brother’s death was more spectacular. After his younger brother and sister died, he followed the clues and found out that Xia Xuechun killed his sister and Ji Yanchuan killed his brother. And these two were a couple. He directly took matters into his own hands and went to seek revenge with a "no turning back" mentality, injuring both Xia Xuechun and Ji Yanchuan. But in the end, the two of them were rescued, and the second brother was beaten to death by the reinforcements that arrived just in time.]
Weisheng Lin: “...”
The brothers' faces subtly changed as they looked at Weisheng Lin.
This seemed like something Weisheng Lin, who was so loyal and devoted, would do.
Very tragic.
They gave him a thumbs up.
Weisheng Lin blushed and murmured, turning his head away.
He just cares a lot about family honor!
The eldest brother’s face turned even greener.
Looking at it now, of all the deaths, his was the most pitiful.
Qiao Chuchu felt the silence in the air and became angry inside.
[Anyway, no matter what happens to me later, I will never hurt anyone from the Weisheng family! They’re just living their lives, why should I hurt them?!]
[Moreover, Yucan and Huai Ling are both nice people. I won’t do something ungrateful!]
Everyone was stunned, and the way they looked at Qiao Chuchu instantly turned into admiration, something they hadn’t even realized themselves.
Weisheng Yucan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: “Did you hear that? We’re all just stepping stones for Ji Yanchuan. Our ending is death, and I won’t let all my hard work be handed over to others.”
Weisheng Lin sneered: “Just kill Ji Yanchuan and Xia Xuechun, the two main culprits. Isn’t that enough?”
Huai Ling shook his head: “I sent people to deal with Xia Xuechun, but the ones I sent were all injured.”
Everyone: “?”
Huai Ling said: “I don’t know why, but they said it was very strange. The daggers they threw bounced back and hurt them.”
Yucan smiled, her eyes flashing with anger: “Those two are the protagonists. We, along with Qiao Chuchu and others, are side characters. Before the so-called ‘grand finale’ arrives, they will survive because the protagonists have a halo. This is why when you went to trouble them, you all ended up dead.”
Weisheng Lin laughed angrily: “After living so many years, I thought I was the crown prince, but now I’m told I’m the evil side character in the protagonist’s story. Then what’s the point of our existence?”
The fourth brother: “Sacrifice.”
Everyone frowned.
The fourth brother strung a Buddhist bead on his hand, expressionless: “Our family was born to sacrifice Ji Yanchuan, to make him stronger.”
...
They all grew silent.
The eldest brother's eyes flickered sharply: “Xia Xuechun and Ji Yanchuan can’t be killed, at least not now. Qiao Chuchu is the key to everything. Keeping her close to us is safer.”
Yucan: “Qiao Chuchu’s brothers and the Lin family siblings, as well as the Lou family father and son, are all very attached to her. I suspect they can hear her thoughts too.”
Weisheng Lin was shocked: “So there’s a bunch of people fighting for this one woman?”
The eldest brother's face was stern: “Then kill them all, and take Qiao Chuchu.”
Weisheng Huai Ling suddenly became alert: “No! Those are her family and friends!”
Yucan nodded, also rejecting the proposal: “Qiao Chuchu saved my life, and she will save you all too. Are we going to repay her kindness with cruelty?”
The eldest brother lazily crossed his legs and glanced at Qiao Chuchu: “Then we won’t touch her, but we need to stay close to her. After all, we need to know when things will go wrong.”
Weisheng Lin sighed: “We can’t always be near her, I’m busy as hell every day.”
The fourth brother helplessly said: “Then we make a plan and deal with things as they come.”
Weisheng Yucan nodded: “Send her back.”
Huai Ling nodded and walked to Qiao Chuchu's side, signaling to his second brother: “I want to hear my name.”
Weisheng Lin: “?”
Huai Ling blinked expectantly: “Make her silently think my name.”
Qiao Chuchu was about to fall asleep in the thick silence.
[What is this, there’s no sound at all, if you want to kill me, say something!]
A pair of hands landed on her shoulders again.
Qiao Chuchu jumped in shock, becoming alert.

Weisheng Lin lowered his voice: “Qiao Chuchu, do you know who Weisheng Yucan’s younger brother is?”
Qiao Chuchu: “...I know.”
Weisheng Lin: “Think silently, don’t say it out loud.”
[...Weisheng Huai Ling?]
Weisheng Huai Ling’s eyes widened, his cheeks turning an unnatural shade of red, veins faintly popping on his neck, and his fingertips trembled.
It’s his name!
His name!
He understood it!
The other brothers looked at him with disdain, feeling like he had reached some sort of peak excitement.
...What kind of strange fetish is this?
Weisheng Lin’s eyes flickered, a wicked smile forming as he said to Qiao Chuchu: “It’s that Weisheng Huai Ling, remember this, stay far away from him.”
Weisheng Huai Ling: “?”
He quickly knocked Qiao Chuchu unconscious, angrily questioning Weisheng Lin: “What are you doing?!”
