Liang Sichen's expression of extreme pleasure instantly froze. Cheng Yanzhe's words reminded him of his own foolish subordinates.
They hadn't accomplished much of substance, yet most of the time they had interrupted his pleasures.
"Yes, tell those scoundrels that this young master has important matters to attend to now. Tell them to get lost and not disturb me." Liang Sichen finished speaking and, seeing Cheng Yanzhe still lingering, became even more impatient. "What else do you want?"
Cheng Yanzhe spoke, "Young Master, as you know, those people never listen to me."
After speaking, Cheng Yanzhe raised his eyes to look at Liang Sichen, a man whose face was filled with impatience.
"Damn it! Take this. Whoever dares not to listen to you, kill them directly!"
Liang Sichen took a gun from his drawer. This gun had a unique design, with over eighty percent of it made of pure gold. The gun body was crafted in the shape of a coiled five-clawed golden dragon. Such a gun was called the 'Golden Dragon' in the Black Triangle.
There was only one 'Golden Dragon' in the entire Black Triangle, the most revered gun of the Qin Long Gang and a symbol of status. Anyone who dared to disobey it could be killed without reason.
"Your subordinate will ensure no one disturbs the Young Master."
Cheng Yanzhe looked at the gun in his hand with great satisfaction. Before leaving, he glanced at Lin Xingwan. Despite his reluctance, Cheng Yanzhe knew that Lin Xingwan had to walk the remaining path alone. All he could do was to make her path a little smoother.
Soon, Cheng Yanzhe's figure disappeared from Lin Xingwan's sight. Her hands, hanging by her sides, clenched into fists, and she even bit her lip.
Especially when she felt Liang Sichen's hand on her waist begin to wander, Lin Xingwan felt nauseous to the point of exploding.
"Baby, we can play to our heart's content now."
Liang Sichen finished speaking and was about to pick up Lin Xingwan, but she gently pushed him away.
Liang Sichen looked at the woman's refusal, not angered in the slightest, but instead revealing a hunter-like gaze.
"Young Master... getting straight to the point from the beginning isn't fun at all. Can't we play something more interesting?"
After Lin Xingwan spoke, Liang Sichen's curiosity reached its peak. He asked, "Oh? Then what do you want to play, my dear? We'll play that, alright?"
Lin Xingwan then took a ribbon from her hair and tied it over Liang Sichen's eyes.
The atmosphere in the entire room instantly became vibrant and lively.
Meanwhile, Cheng Yanzhe, who had left, was now walking unimpeded towards the villa's exit.
However, just as Cheng Yanzhe stepped out of the villa's entrance, another man emerged from a secluded corner.
Cheng Yanzhe's expression darkened upon seeing this man. "What are you doing here?"
The man before him was named Ling Zuo, also one of Liang Sichen's subordinates.
Before Cheng Yanzhe appeared by Liang Sichen's side, it was Ling Zuo who held Cheng Yanzhe's current position.
Later, Ling Zuo had schemed against Liang Sichen several times, only to end up harming himself. Consequently, Ling Zuo gradually fell out of favor with Liang Sichen.
Ling Zuo had always been at odds with Cheng Yanzhe, trying every means to reclaim what was once his.
"Why am I here? Of course, I'm here specifically waiting for you, Cheng Yanzhe, Cheng Yanzhe. Where are you rushing off to in such a hurry? Let me guess, you must have done something shameful and are afraid of being found out, so you're making a quick escape?"
"A joke, what shameful thing could I do? Don't be absurd. I'm merely following orders to check if there are any suspicious individuals around. Moreover, the Young Master has important matters to attend to. You shouldn't disturb him. If there's nothing else, you can leave. There's no need to stay here; my men will be guarding this place."
Cheng Yanzhe finished speaking, expecting Ling Zuo to leave. However, Ling Zuo acted as if he had heard a joke and burst into laughter.
"Oh, what a coincidence. The Young Master asked me to guard this villa and instructed me not to leave, no matter what happens."
After speaking, Ling Zuo's eyes instantly turned cold. "Cheng Yanzhe, it seems the Young Master doesn't trust you one hundred percent!"
Cheng Yanzhe frowned. To him, Ling Zuo's words were a provocation. Moreover, if this man was here, it would inevitably cause obstruction when Zhou Jinnbai and the others arrived, leading to unknown casualties. Worried that Lin Xingwan might get hurt, Cheng Yanzhe directly took out the Golden Gun.
"I told you to get lost and stop being a nuisance. Otherwise, don't blame my gun for not having eyes."
Anger was mixed in Cheng Yanzhe's voice. There was nothing more to say between him and Ling Zuo.
Even if Cheng Yanzhe had to die, he would take Ling Zuo down with him.
"Wow, the Young Master actually gave you this thing. You've got guts, kid. I'm so scared." Ling Zuo said, then even put on a display of extreme fear. However, his exaggerated expression and body language made him look ridiculous.
But in the next second, Ling Zuo directly pulled the muzzle of his gun towards Cheng Yanzhe and shouted, "I'm not leaving today, you bastard! Dare to fire a shot and see if I die or not!"
Cheng Yanzhe narrowed his eyes dangerously and pulled the trigger.
However, the expected explosion of his head never came. The gun was empty.
Not only was it empty, but Ling Zuo quickly pulled out a gun identical to Cheng Yanzhe's from his pocket. This time, he aimed the muzzle at Cheng Yanzhe.
Cheng Yanzhe's face was filled with disbelief. There was only one such gun, and he had never expected to see two of them at the same time today.
Cheng Yanzhe was confused for only a few seconds before he figured it out.
"What, surprised? The one in your hand is the one I personally gave to the Young Master not long ago. I thought it would be nice to put something like confetti in it, so it would look good when you fired it."
Ling Zuo's tone was filled with disdain. "Cheng Yanzhe, do you think the Young Master is so foolish that he'll believe any lie you concoct? You underestimate the Young Master too much. I'll wait and see who dares to come in."
After speaking, a murderous intent flashed in Ling Zuo's eyes.
He had waited for this day for so long. Now that he had found an opportunity, he would never let Cheng Yanzhe go.
*Bang*—
The ear-piercing gunshot rang out, and even Lin Xingwan, who was in the room, heard it.
Did Cheng Yanzhe fire the shot?
But why did her heart feel like it had been struck by something?
This feeling was so unbearable that Lin Xingwan felt suffocated.
As for Cheng Yanzhe, as his body crashed to the ground, his gaze remained fixed on the direction of the room where Lin Xingwan was.
He had miscalculated, mistaking Liang Sichen for a mere playboy and even taking risks.
Everything had gone so smoothly from last night until now, Cheng Yanzhe should have been more vigilant.
But whenever it involved Lin Xingwan, Cheng Yanzhe's intelligence seemed to go offline.
He desperately wanted to protect Lin Xingwan, but he had made the most fatal mistake!
And now, he could no longer protect the little princess in his heart.
However, before dying, he had confessed so many things in his heart to this woman. Cheng Yanzhe felt that he had no regrets in dying.
His consciousness began to blur, but he saw Lin Xingwan running towards him in a wedding dress.
Truly...
Beautiful...
Time ticked by, and half an hour had passed since Cheng Yanzhe left.
Lin Xingwan could clearly feel Liang Sichen's patience dwindling, and he seemed unwilling to continue playing games with her.
Didn't Cheng Yanzhe tell her he would rescue her within half an hour at most?
But now, had something happened to Cheng Yanzhe?
Thinking of this, Lin Xingwan's mood became incredibly tense.
Just then, she felt a strong force, and she was directly thrown onto the bed by Liang Sichen.
Immediately after, his body pressed down on her.
Liang Sichen was all bone, and Lin Xingwan's brows furrowed tightly in pain.
Just as Liang Sichen was about to kiss Lin Xingwan, she could no longer hold back.
She began to resist, intending to push away the disgusting man.
But to Lin Xingwan's surprise, Liang Sichen burst into laughter. "Why are you acting anymore? Didn't the medicine make me do whatever I want, unable to leave you? You've only pretended for such a short time, it's not enough at all!"
Liang Sichen's words made Lin Xingwan's previously disgusted expression turn to one of utter astonishment. Her mouth even parted slightly in shock, making her look incredibly alluring.
"You... what do you mean?" Lin Xingwan asked, but as she voiced the question, Lin Xingwan's heart already had an answer.
"What could I possibly mean? Cheng Yanzhe, that dog, ate my food and used my resources, and in the end, he still tried to scheme against me. Our Liang family doesn't tolerate traitors."
When Liang Sichen spoke of Cheng Yanzhe, his eyes were fierce and cold. Lin Xingwan finally understood that the real Liang Sichen was not a playboy at all; he was a wolf, a starving wolf that devoured people without spitting out bones!
"So... the gunshot just now..." Lin Xingwan couldn't even finish her sentence.
Because she was afraid of saying the most terrifying thing, tears began to well up in her eyes uncontrollably.
"That's right. The gunshot just now was the sound of that dog Cheng Yanzhe being shot. Don't you think it sounds beautiful? Hahaha." Liang Sichen laughed wildly. Now that his ugly true face was revealed, he began to assault Lin Xingwan.
Lin Xingwan's heart ached so much she couldn't breathe. Cheng Yanzhe shouldn't have had to die!
But because he saved her, Cheng Yanzhe died.
She had caused Cheng Yanzhe's death!
An unprecedented sense of self-blame and guilt threatened to extinguish all of Lin Xingwan's rationality.
She looked at the grinning Liang Sichen, her body filled with hatred that seemed to consume her entirely.
"Liang Sichen... you killed Cheng Yanzhe, you killed him..." Lin Xingwan kept repeating this, and seeing Liang Sichen about to assault her again, she fiercely bit down.
"My hand, you slut, how dare you bite me!"
Liang Sichen was enraged and slapped Lin Xingwan. The force was so great that Lin Xingwan felt her ears ringing.
The next second, her hair was pulled. "You're still waiting for Zhou Jinnbai to save you? Do you know that I know everything Cheng Yanzhe sent to Zhou Jinnbai? Even his message was intercepted. They've gone to another location, and everything is ambushed around them, waiting for them to fall into the trap. The Dongfang family is powerful, but meddling in other people's business is not a good thing. They want to interfere in the affairs of us in the Black Triangle, and I will make them die without a whole corpse!"
After speaking, Liang Sichen let out another arrogant and wild laugh.
Lin Xingwan felt as if she had suffered a severe shock. Because of her alone, so many people would die!
If this was the final outcome, she would rather it be only her who died.
Lin Xingwan clenched her fists, but the ring she wore dug into her finger due to the excessive force, causing pain.
It was then that she suddenly remembered what Cheng Yanzhe had told her not long ago: this ring contained a poison needle, and being pricked by it would result in immediate death.
Cheng Yanzhe had warned her not to use the ring unless it was a critical moment.
But now, Cheng Yanzhe was dead, and Zhou Jinnbai and the others had gone to a dangerous place due to the intercepted message. She had to use the ring.
"Please don't kill them. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. I beg you not to kill them."
Lin Xingwan's face was filled with terror. Her pitiful and lost expression would ignite a protective instinct in any man.
Liang Sichen saw the woman, who moments ago was a chaste and virtuous lady, transform into this state. His expression became even more delighted.
"Alright, if you serve me well, perhaps I'll be merciful."
Liang Sichen enjoyed this feeling of being subdued. Lin Xingwan could only timidly put her arms around Liang Sichen's neck, then, reluctantly but having no choice, she carefully tried to please Liang Sichen and offered her lips.
As the distance between their faces grew smaller, Liang Sichen slowly closed his eyes.
He was smart enough, and also arrogant enough!
He believed that as long as Cheng Yanzhe and Zhou Jinnbai were dealt with, Lin Xingwan would be no threat.
After all, she was just a woman; what threat could she pose to him?
However, just as their lips were about to touch, Liang Sichen's eyes suddenly snapped open.
