It’s a pity that although Pei Yu had died, no one knew who had killed her.
The entire He Mansion had already descended into chaos.
At this time, Doctor Zhang was taking a short rest.
Tie Hailan had already noticed many suspicious points before, and she decided to take advantage of the chaos to make her move. Using this opportunity, she aimed to find out exactly what had happened in He Mansion.
Tie Hailan and the coachman carefully avoided the Soldiers from the Outside who were left to guard He Mansion, as they crept towards the room where He Su used to live.
Suddenly, they heard the clinking sound of chains, and Tie Hailan hastily hid with the coachman.
Not long after, they saw Luo Yang hurriedly heading towards a certain room.
"Luo Zhengfu?" Tie Hailan called out to Luo Yang.
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment, then he turned back to look at Tie Hailan, "Lady Tie."
Tie Hailan felt somewhat somber. "What is this..." She looked at the iron shackles on Luo Yang’s ankle, guessing a bit of the truth already, but she still found it hard to believe!
Luo Yang politely nodded at Tie Hailan, "Lady Tie, are you here to visit the Lady? If you are here to see her, please go to the west wing. The Lady no longer stays here; she has moved to the west chamber."
Tie Hailan had always believed that Luo Yang’s love for He Su ran deep!
Every time she came to Taihang Town to find He Su, she would see Luo Yang accompanying her.
The look in Luo Yang’s eyes when he saw He Su was something that couldn’t be faked.
Helplessness, indulgence, tolerance, concern, care...
The man was very gentle, but most of the time, he appeared magnanimous and silent. Yet, his love for He Su was unquestionable.
when Luo Yang mentioned He Su, his expression and tone were remarkably indifferent.
Luo Yang bid farewell to Tie Hailan with a fist and palm salute and then entered the dark room, feeling slightly tense.
He looked at the man bound to a wooden frame.
Just yesterday, Gao Jian had been whipped mercilessly. His body was now a bloody mess.
Hearing Luo Yang’s voice, Gao Jian’s fingertips twitched slightly. But his body simply lacked the strength to move.
Luo Yang took out a boning knife from his bosom, which he had previously stolen from the kitchen during the chaos in He Mansion.
Using the boning knife, he cut the ropes, and Gao Jian’s body started to sag. He quickly supported Gao Jian, propping up his body with his own shoulder.
His voice was very hoarse, "Gao Jian, Pei Yu, she’s dead!"
Gao Jian’s body stiffened, and then, in a slow, strained voice, he asked,
"What did you say? She’s dead? Who are you talking about? Who is dead!?"
"Pei Yu, it’s Pei Yu, she’s dead!"
Gao Jian opened his mouth slightly, and then, suddenly, he burst into wild laughter, "Dead? Really? Is this true? Is she truly dead??"
The Pei Yu who had tormented him for a whole year, day and night, abusing him, lashing him, and maltreating him was actually dead!
Luo Yang was startled and quickly covered Gao Jian’s mouth, "Keep it down, do you want to alert Pei Yu’s remaining hounds? If they discover us, we won’t be able to escape!"
Gao Jian also shivered, "Brother Luo, quickly! Let’s go, let’s get out of this damned place!"
Luo Yang nodded vigorously, then removed his overcoat and draped it over Gao Jian’s battered body.
As Pei Yu had gouged out Gao Jian’s eyeballs and he was blind, Luo Yang became his eyes.
