Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Seeing Song Cheng come back alive, Song Jingyun went all pale.
Her body was trembling uncontrollably, as if she was going to faint at any time.
“Sir, please show me some mercy. I will tell you everything I know. Miss Song is behind all the wrongdoing. At her order, I tried to kill Lan Cai’er. Five years ago, at her order, several mercenary soldiers and I disguised ourselves as assassins and launched a surprise attack on General Lan. Then, at her order, I took Lan Cai’er into the Demon Cave so that she spotted the intimacy between Miss Song and Dao Ge.” Before Song Cheng even finished speaking, Song Jingyun gave a loud cry and rushed over.
“Shut up! If you dare to say one more word, I will let my father kill your whole family. Song Cheng, you damned bastard, you are just a henchman for our Song Family! But for your instigation, I certainly wouldn’t have done all these. You, Lan Cai’er, why did you appear once again? If you didn’t, Dao Ge would not have changed so abruptly.”
Song Jingyun cried out hysterically, regardless of others’ shocked look.
Dao Ge clenched his fists and blood gushed out from the wound caused by a ceramic piece before.
But the pain was not in the slightest comparable to that deep inside him. He looked at Song Jingyun with a grim look in his eyes.
To his surprise, all was plotted by Song Jingyun. The girl had been around him since childhood, calling him Brother Dao sweetly. How come she was like this now?
Dao Ge ignored Song Jingyun and fixed his eyes on Lan Cai’er with a dazed look.
Lan Cai’er was held in the arms by the tall figure, looking so delicate.
They seemed to be a perfect match when standing together. Right now, Yan Jiu was saying something to Lan Cai’er and the latter blushed slightly, reminding Dao Ge of that bashful young girl years ago.
That lovely girl had once belonged to him. But now all was lost due to the fickleness of fate.
“Jingyun, have you lost your mind?” Chief Song was stupefied. How could Song Jingyun be so reckless? Her thoughtless remarks nearly proved that she was behind all the wrongdoing. “I am quite sorry. The annulment has dealt a heavy blow to my daughter and she is muddleheaded now. Even if all the mistakes have something to do with her, I believe my young girl must have been incited.”
“Just mistakes? Chief Song, you have really understated the seriousness. My girl just killed several gangsters in order to defend herself. Then you insist on taking her life. Now all know that your daughter has committed stunning sins but you just say that she is young and incited. With a chief like you, I think the future of the Alliance is at stake. Since you don’t take any action, I will uphold justice on behalf of you.” Yan Jiu snorted.
“Chief, a great many Yan guards have besieged the City.”
A number of mercenary soldiers rushed in, beside themselves with panic.
When those soldiers were about to say more, the members of the Greedy Wolf were the first to meet their doom. They had no time to fight back and were killed by the Yan guards on the spot.
The Alliance was instantly thrown into turmoil.
Chief Song was in great worries and tried to protect his beloved daughter. Behind him were a number of senior mercenary soldiers who took out their weapons in confrontation with Yan Jiu and his men.
“Yan Jiu, you are going too far now. The Greedy Wolf has got the due punishment. As for other things... Just forget about them.”Dao Ge drew a long breath and said to Yan Jiu. Although Dao Ge held Chief Song and Song Jingyun in contempt for all their evildoing, he still felt sorry about annuling the engagement.
Dao Ge gazed at Lan Cai’er, enduring the bitterness deep inside.
“Cai’er, sorry for all your suffering. Can me start all over again?”
Lan Cai’er kept silent. What happened between her and Dao Ge used to be the most painful part of her memory. She had believed that she would never forget about the man.
But all was changed when she met Yan Jiu. Only then did she realize that someone in the world would take good care of her and stand up for her when she was wronged.
Lan Cai’er wanted to tell Dao Ge that she would not blame her suffering on him any more.
Right at this time, she felt her waist hugged by someone.
Lan Cai’er lowered her head and found Yan Jiu had hooked his arm around her with a threatening look in his eyes.
It seemed that Yan Jiu would break her waist the moment she nodded to Dao Ge.
Lan Cai’er was somewhat touched by the man’s domineering way of showing love.
“No need to feel sorry about it. Our relationship has already come to an end. Now I have found the one I love. Miss Song loves you so much and has waited for you all these years. You should not leave her.”
Yan Jiu was originally worried that Lan Cai’er might be moved by the damned guy’s sincerity. Later, however, he was surprised and overjoyed when hearing her say “the one I love”.
Yan Jiu had an impulse to hold up Lan Cai’er and kiss her hard.
But he had to keep the image of the dignified city owner before so many Yan guards.
“See? Lan Lan is so forgiving and doesn’t bother to care about all these. Since she has chosen to forgive you, I will forget about the wrongdoing of the City.” Yan Jiu cleared his throat and showed a forgiving look.
“Wait. Your woman is fine now but my woman is nowhere to be found. Dao Ge, tell me, where is Bo Qing?”
Wu Chong was tired of watching the drama and nearly fell asleep.
Yan Jiu now cared about no one else but his beloved girl and could not stop giggling. The scene was quite annoying for Wu Chong.
Yan Jiu had already got what he wanted.
But Wu Chong’s girl went away with someone else and could not be found.
“Bo Qing?” Dao Ge got nervous.
He took a look at Wu Chong and his heart was pounding. Since Sha was Yan Jiu, then Di’s real identity could be easily guessed out.
How could Bo Qing offend the Ghost Emperor Wu Chong?
In this case, he must contact Bo Qing’s parents immediately.
“Bo Qing has gone to Zizhu Mountain. He seems to have found the whereabouts of Qiankun Zijin Bamboo there.” Dao Ge pondered for a while before telling the truth.
The moment Dao Ge finished speaking, Wu Chong had already vanished in a flash.
“Hey, wait for us. Cai’er, let’s go with him.” Yan Jiu rolled his eyes and then dragged Lan Cai’er to catch up with Wu Chong without saying any more.
After they left, the Yan guards besieging the City also retreated instantly.
These Yan guards appeared and disappeared all of a sudden. Their orderliness and skills had left a deep impression on the mercenary soldiers.
“Brother Dao, thank you for standing up for me and my father just now after all these.” Seeing that almost all the others had left, Song Jingyun finally calmed down. She recovered her former gentlenss and nervously approached Dao Ge.
But Dao Ge just threw a glance at her and showed no trace of tenderness.
“Song Jingyun, I have said that I will give you only one chance. This time, I helped the City, since I am sorry for annuling our engagement. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other. You mustn’t make trouble for Lan Cai’er any more. Otherwise, I will take your life with my own hands.” Dao Ge snorted and strode off the Alliance.
Song Jingyun looked at his receding figure, losing all her hope. The hatred deep inside was growing out of control.
