Chapter 119
After those words, Ling Si was rendered completely speechless.
"Zhi Yao doesn't need you to accompany her!" He glared fiercely at Pei Chiyao, that glare being downright ferocious to the extreme.
If it were someone else, they would likely have been terrified already, but Pei Chiyao just seemed oblivious.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother."
Ling Si gritted his teeth, "Who's your Fourth Brother?! You shut up! I don't acknowledge you as my brother-in-law."
"Enough, Fourth," Ling Er, who had remained silent on the side, spoke up, "Don't act rashly."
Lying on the ground, trembling in pain with a pale face, Shen Yilian seemed to grasp at her final lifeline as she hurriedly said, "That's right, don't kill me, don't kill me! You all can have as much money as you want... just don't kill me!!"
She was a movie star! A new rising movie star! Didn't these people know what a huge mess it would cause if they killed her?
Ling Si frowned slightly, saying with some displeasure, "Second Brother, don't waste words on her, just shoot her dead, to serve as a deterrent. Let's see if any other blind fool dares to provoke Zhi Yao after this."
Zhi Yao was the apple of the entire Ling family's eye, cherished and protected. How could just any riffraff lay their hands on her?
Ling Er ignored Ling Si. He crouched down, raising his hand and gesturing towards Shen Yilian's forehead without touching her skin, "How did you know that Zhi Yao is a Fox?"
There was a seal on Zhi Yao that greatly concealed her Fox aura, making it difficult for ordinary people to see through.
What Shen Yilian threw at Zhi Yao today was essentially something that could revert her back to her original form.
She wanted to record the entire process of Zhi Yao transforming from human to Fox.
Once that got out, it would cause mass panic in the human world. At that point, not only would Zhi Yao be the subject of widespread discussion, but she might even be hunted down by human society!
This was their tragedy.
Their identities could never be revealed. If exposed to the public, the consequences... would be unimaginable.
Not only would they themselves suffer harm, but more critically, it would implicate their entire clan.
This was precisely why the Ling family had been so low-key all these years, rarely interacting deeply with other humans.
If not for Pei Chiyao's unusual relationship with Zhi Yao, they would have killed Pei Chiyao too long ago.
Anyone who knew their identities, they would sooner kill three thousand by mistake than let a single one go.
So, he had to investigate how Shen Yilian found out about Zhi Yao's identity.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yilian immediately became flustered, "I... you all..."
Suddenly, Shen Yilian seemed to realize something, hurriedly saying, "I know! You all must have... must have been bewitched by that vixen Fox! She's a Fox demon! Why are you siding with a monster like her? Wake up, I have a way to completely eliminate that vixen Fox."
In Shen Yilian's view, there was no way Zhi Yao could be their real sister.
One was surnamed Zhi, the other Ling. And they didn't look even remotely alike.
More importantly, Zhi Yao was a Fox! And they were humans! The thing Foxes excelled at most was bewitching humans, right? These people must have been blinded by Zhi Yao's Fox wiles, which was why they wanted to kill her!
It was utterly vile!
Hearing Shen Yilian's words enraged Ling Si even further, wanting nothing more than to kill Shen Yilian on the spot! She had already fallen into their hands, yet she still dared to insult Zhi Yao?!
But before he could act, Pei Chiyao grabbed his wrist to stop him.
Just from the look on Ling Er's face, Pei Chiyao could sense that this matter was far from trivial.
Ling Er gave a slight smile, his demeanor very relaxed, looking like a caring elder brother that inspired a sense of security and... made one instinctively trust him.
"Then can you tell me, what's your method to eliminate her?" Before Shen Yilian could speak, Ling Er leaned forward and gently touched her leg.
Shen Yilian's leg was already bleeding profusely, "Does it hurt?" He frowned slightly, seeming somewhat sympathetic, "What a pity."
It was a pity it wasn't an inch deeper. That spot, if injured, would hurt dozens of times more than this.
Shen Yilian was completely dazed now, utterly entranced by Ling Er's gentle demeanor, "Can you... save me? Can you save me...?"
"Of course, but..." He withdrew his hand, gazing at Shen Yilian with tender affection, "Shouldn't you answer my question first?"
She finally came to her senses, scrutinizing the few people around her. Only then did she feel the full weight of their intimidating auras, yet the man before her...
He was her only hope now.
"It was... a man who told me, and he gave me that powder too, saying that if I sprinkled it on Zhi Yao, Zhi Yao would immediately revert to her original form. He also told me that Zhi Yao had used some Fox seduction techniques to bewitch Pei Chiyao, and that if I killed Zhi Yao, or... if Zhi Yao died, Pei Chiyao would snap out of it." Shen Yilian laid everything out.
For Pei Chiyao's sake, she had returned to the country, only for him to immediately announce his relationship with someone else. This had driven Shen Yilian completely mad.
She urgently sought out many people to investigate Zhi Yao, until one day, another man, who knew the truth from somewhere, took the initiative to approach her.
"Good girl." Ling Er raised his hand, carefully fixing Shen Yilian's hair that had become extremely disheveled from her frantic struggling, "Tell me, who was he?"
"I... I don't know!" At this point, Shen Yilian was in tears, "I've told you everything I know, please let me go, please take me to the hospital, I beg you!"
"Okay." Ling Er stood up, "I'll take you right away."
Behind his spectacles, his eyes seemed to hold the oppressive gloom before a storm.
He had eyes that could see through to one's heart, and he knew that Shen Yilian was indeed not lying. If so...
This woman was of no further use.
Just as Shen Yilian thought she was saved, Ling Er suddenly turned around!
In his hand was a razor-sharp dagger, and when their eyes met, that dagger flew from Ling Er's hand, plunging straight into Shen Yilian's chest.
She died with her eyes wide open.
The others had long grown accustomed to Ling Er's bizarre behavior of toying with his prey before it died. Ling Si couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Er, you're as morbid as ever."
"I told you not to call me Er," Ling Er said, taking out a white handkerchief and meticulously wiping each of his fingers.
After ensuring that he had cleaned off every trace of Shen Yilian's filthy scent, he carelessly tossed the handkerchief onto her face, covering it.
"Tsk, it seems things are getting interesting."
