Everyone subconsciously followed Wan Qing and Fu Yuxing, only seeing them running ceaselessly ahead, but not noticing Liao Qianqian meticulously trailing behind them.
"Liao Qianqian, you, don’t come any closer... just let us go..."
Once Fu Yuxing turned his head, he saw Liao Qianqian following closely behind, her face deathly pale, her mind taut with tension, pleading non-stop.
Liao Qianqian seemed to take delight in the cat-and-mouse game, following them at a consistent distance without getting too close.
If Fu Yuxing and Wan Qing ran faster, she would chase quicker.
If the pace of mother and son Fu Yuxing and Wan Qing slowed, she also slowed down, always maintaining the same distance.
Like a frog being boiled in warm water, the slowly intensifying sensation of being cornered was almost enough to break down the sanity of Fu Yuxing and Wan Qing completely.
Both were on the verge of mental collapse.
Fu Shiyan followed the crowd, walking out without changing his expression.
Running ahead, Fu Yuxing and Wan Qing faced the relentlessly pursuing Liao Qianqian, with no choice but to keep running forward.
Just as they reached the villa’s entrance, they saw Jiangli, Xia Xin, and... Master Mu.
The two of them had eyes only for Master Mu; they couldn’t pay attention to anyone else.
"Master Mu, save us!"
"Master Mu, hurry, Liao Qianqian is right here, kill her quickly!"
The voices of Fu Yuxing and Wan Qing rose simultaneously, looking at Master Mu as if he were their savior, hoping that Master Mu would help them escape from peril.
However, at this moment, the two of them failed to notice the bloodstains and the pallor of Master Mu’s face.
They simply thought that with the appearance of Master Mu, they could survive.
Master Mu heard their cries for help but showed no reaction.
He couldn’t give any reaction.
It was as though all the bones in his body were broken; if it wasn’t for Fu’er supporting him, he wouldn’t even be able to stand now, let alone make any move.
Moreover, Jiangli was still present...
Even if he had the strength to move, he wouldn’t be able to save Fu Yuxing and Wan Qing.
"Master Mu Dayang, what are you doing? Can’t you see Liao Qianqian right here?!"
Seeing him motionless, Fu Yuxing completely lost his composure and began to shout frantically.
Wan Qing ran up to Master Mu with him, "Master Mu, don’t forget what you promised me!"
Fu Yuxing followed up with a threat, "Exactly! If you still want to receive half of Fu Shiyan’s fortune, you better take action now!"
Following behind them, Fu Shiyan and the others all changed expressions.
Fu Shiyan met Jiangli’s gaze directly, instantly realizing the current situation, and asked with a raised eyebrow and a clear voice, "How does this all relate to me?"
Hearing his voice, Wan Qing and Fu Yuxing realized that everyone had followed.
Their expressions turned even uglier.
But there was no chance for explanations now.
Liao Qianqian was about to pounce in front of them.
Fu Yuxing grabbed Master Mu’s hand, rage uncontainable, "I’m telling you, Master Mu Dayang, if you don’t help me deal with Liao Qianqian, I’ll spill everything you’ve ever done!"
"What have I done?" After hearing Fu Yuxing’s words, Master Mu took a deep breath and said, "I’ve only been following your orders. If you’re talking about what I’ve done, isn’t it just helping you hide bodies and plotting against Fu Shiyan?"
"No... What are you talking about?" Fu Yi’s plump face immediately turned pale as he quickly interjected, "You better not talk nonsense; not every utterance can be taken at face value!"
Fu Shiyan’s face grew cold, "Uncle Three is right. I am indeed curious about what you all mean. Would anyone care to alleviate Fu’s concerns?"
