Qin Jiang had Mo Da and Mo Er drive. They sped all the way to the Yan family’s first-class sanatorium.
Not far off, thick black smoke billowed up, turning the entire sanatorium into something that looked more like purgatory.
Fortunately, the Yan family’s top hospital mainly served the family’s big shots, with almost no other patients.
Many distant relatives of the Yan family weren’t even qualified to enter and receive care from the professional medical team here.
Qin Jiang had just gotten out of the car. Seeing the rolling black smoke not far away made his chest tighten.
He dashed toward where the fire was spreading. Intuition told him that Yan Liang had to be in the most dangerous spot of the sanatorium.
Because she had always been a yandere, a crazed Young Mistress who danced with danger.
The place ablaze was a small storage room.
Yan Han was tied to a wheelchair. The skin on one hand had come apart and blood streamed down his arm, along with whatever vitality the man had.
But he wasn’t dead yet.
He watched lucidly as Yan Liang, mad and unhinged, lit one firework after another for him in broad daylight!!
Through the choking smoke and a haze of consciousness, he could still see spots of red on the sickle Yan Liang held.
He was completely petrified with fear.
“Zhou Ning, go give Big Brother a few injections of the nutrient solution.”
“He’s Father’s most valued heir—how could he die so quickly…”
“He should at least stay alive a while longer to accompany me…“
Yan Liang tilted her head. Tiny blood-red plum blossoms bloomed on her skirt, grotesquely beautiful.
Yet there was a bizarre, maddening beauty to it!!
“Okay, Ms. Liang.”
Zhou Ning, practiced and efficient, stepped forward and neatly administered a few life-sustaining nutrient injections to Yan Han.
Based on what she was doing, it was clear that she never planned to let Yan Han die so quickly.
Yan Han now felt gut-wrenching regret. He knew well that Yan Liang didn’t care about whether he was family or not if she was having an episode, yet he had provoked her.
How was this different from seeking his own death?
“Li… Little Liang, I’m begging you as your brother, give me a quick end.”
Now Yan Liang’s punishment had far exceeded what he could bear.
Nothing was more despicable than stripping a proud heir of his inheritance and status, then taking his legs and the dignity of standing!
But now, Yan Liang seemed to have no intention of stopping.
She had truly gone mad!
At this moment, Yan Han desperately wished there existed someone in this world who could restrain Yan Liang’s madness.
If there were such a person, it would be a blessing for the whole world.
A bona fide savior!!
“Nope~”
“This is punishment for bullying the man I love behind my back! If you dare to hurt Jiang today, you’ll dare to come for me tomorrow…”
“Big Brother, victors are kings and losers are bandits! Don’t you understand… your little life has long been clutched in my hands.”
“See, aren’t these fireworks beautiful?”
“I heard this has been trendy in funerals lately, but how can the dead see such a grand firework farewell?”
“Big Brother, you’re so lucky—you’re alive to see the funeral gift I give you. Aren’t you going to thank your sister?”
Yan Liang spoke to herself merrily. She had completely lost the ability to suppress her frenzied desire to torment.
She only wanted to destroy… destroy… everything visible to the naked eye!
“I thank you…”
Yan Han forced out a smile uglier than crying. He regretted it—truly regretted it.
In the past, he’d sent people to assassinate Yan Liang at least a hundred times, yet she never held it against him.
She merely had those assassins buried and turned into fertilizer.
But now… he had only entertained the small thought of teaching Qin Jiang a lesson.
He hadn’t even planned to actually take Qin Jiang’s life.
The original plan was merely to sow discord between the two.
Yet the price he paid was hundreds or thousands of times greater than before…
“Little Liang, if you will spare me…”
“I will never lay a hand on Qin Jiang again, I swear as your brother—I’ll just cling to life, never cause trouble again!!”
Yan Han had always feared death, even with shattered legs and an arm nearly ripped off by Yan Liang.
At his core, he was afraid to die!
After all, if he died, he’d really get nothing.
But if he stayed alive, he could at least endure… endure until Yan Liang’s death at twenty-five.
There could still be a turning point.
“Tch, I only trust the dead won’t cause trouble…”
An innocent, gentle smile spread across Yan Liang’s face but the sickle in her hand starkly contradicted that pure expression.
It terrified Zhou Ning. The more innocent the Young Mistress’s smile, the more ruthless her strike would inevitably be!
Help!
He’s scared! Very scared!!
“Yanyan!”
At the critical moment, Qin Jiang’s voice suddenly rang out, breathless—obviously he’d just run over from afar.
He had come for Yan Liang.
Yan Liang’s sickle-wielding hand trembled, nearly dropping it. The dark strands in her eyes ebbed away like a tide. Like a guilty little girl, she quickly hid the weapon behind her and turned to Qin Jiang with an obedient smile.
“J… Jiang, why are you here?”
Had he finally seen it for himself? Had he finally seen the uncontrollable side of her, the demon tangled with madness and killing…
He had seen the uncontrollable her, a monster whose nerves were entwined with frenzied slaughter…
She truly could no longer hide it.
“Yanyan, don’t kill him.”
Qin Jiang paused in his footsteps. Upon seeing how tortured Yan Han was and how he trembled in undignified fear, he said that one sentence.
Just one sentence.
Yan Han felt as if he’d glimpsed the dawn of life.
Qin Jiang, shockingly, repaid hatred with kindness like a little sun!
If he could still inherit the Yan family’s conglomerate in the future, he didn’t mind sparing Qin Jiang’s life…
“Living a life worse than death, living without dignity—that is the greatest punishment for him!” Qin Jiang continued.
This time, the innocence in Yan Liang’s eyes turned to suspicion, then sparkling stars began to bloom brighter and brighter in them.
Jiang didn’t seem afraid of her?
She had thought what Jiang had seen before were child’s play, and now that she attacked Yan Han, he would be frightened.
But evidently…
Jiang supported her—perhaps even showed signs of being assimilated by her.
Zhou Ning was horrified. What? He has to serve two yanderes?!!
The sky must be falling!
“Mm… whatever Jiang says goes.”
“Jiang, Yanyan’s skirt is dirty.”
Yan Liang stood still, the sickle clattering to the ground. Upon Qin Jiang’s arrival, her imposing aura vanished. In his eyes she was the fragile and aggrieved pretty, little Yanyan.
Pouting in grievance, adorably explosive.
Yan Han nearly cursed out loud.
You’re a living devil!!
Yet Yan Liang’s state almost scared this disabled man into standing up.
What’s with that aggrieved expression?
He’s the one who was suffering!!
Qin Jiang stepped closer and pulled the fragile, bloodied woman into his embrace like holding a fragile porcelain doll—gentle and cautious.
He reached out to gently wipe the marks from Yan Liang’s face and lightly kissed the bloodstained spots.
“This way, Yanyan won’t be dirtied.”
“She’ll only pick up my scent—the scent Yanyan likes!”
Qin Jiang lowered his gaze, pressed his forehead to Yan Liang’s, giving her all his warmth.
Yan Liang frantically held him like he was her salvation.
Clinging tightly, utterly insecure.
But Qin Jiang wasn’t much different from here. It turned out that the first step of falling in love was…being afraid to lose the other person!
Smooch.
“I love Jiang so much, Yanyan loves Jiang the most~”
Yan Liang couldn’t help but lock her arms around Qin Jiang’s waist, pressing herself against him without any gap.
“Yanyan, have you heard of a cruel ancient punishment?”
“There is a story—Lu Zhi transformed Lady Qi into a human pig!”
“Do you think Big Brother would be suitable for that?”
“His legs are ruined, his hands are ruined… isn’t he a perfect fit already??”
Zhou Ning nearly shrieked in horror. Perfect fit?! What?!
Even the King of Hell would have to tattoo Qin Jiang’s name on his back!!
