Yanzi was so frightened that her face turned as pale as paper. She thought that she was dead for sure this time.

In the past, she had heard that Ye Qilan was a ruthless person, but she had never taken it to heart. From what she knew, Ye Qilan had always been a gentle and refined man. There was even a time when she felt that there was probably no man in this world who was gentler and more considerate than Ye Qilan.

How could she have thought that Ye Qilan’s ruthlessness would be used on her one day? Their childhood friendship could not compare to the ugly woman he had just registered his marriage with.

She looked at Ye Qilan with teary eyes and asked in a choked voice, “Brother Qilan, do you like Su Hongxing that much?!”

Ye Qilan looked at Yanzi intently for a while. Then, he casually pulled the sleeve of one of his men and wiped her tears and snot.

“How dirty.” His movements were gentle, but his tone seemed to be harsh.

Yanzi looked at Ye Qilan in surprise. She thought Ye Qilan was going to let her go.

“Yanzi, you’ve been following me since you were young. I watched you grow up. Of course, I can’t bear to take your life.” Ye Qilan paused and said, “But humans are despicable creatures. If you don’t suffer once, you’ll never learn.”

The smile on Yanzi’s face quickly faded. When she heard Ye Qilan say “but”, she knew that there was more to it.

Ye Qilan looked at the two men who had detained Yanzi and curled his lips slightly. “Stay here and play with her for 24 hours. Remember, she’s timid. Don’t scare her to death.”

“Yes, Mr. Ye!” The two men replied in unison.

Ye Qilan glanced at his watch. “I’m leaving. I’ll leave this place to you.”

When Yanzi saw that Ye Qilan was about to leave, she shouted at his back, “Ye Qilan, you can’t leave just like that. Stop…”

However, Ye Qilan walked away without looking back. Soon, he disappeared from her sight.

Yanzi gritted her teeth in hatred.

Ye Qilan knew that she was afraid of heights, but he still made her stay in this place for 24 hours. She was probably going to be frightened to death instead of falling to her death.

Such psychological torture was far more terrifying than being stabbed to death.

“Ye Qilan, you’re so cruel!”

Ye Qilan drove back to the Ye family’s old residence. As soon as he entered the house, he realized that the atmosphere in the room was not right.

“What happened?” He went to stand beside Su Hongxing and looked at the angry servant.

“Miss Su pushed Madam into the swimming pool just now. I saw it with my own eyes!” The servant looked at Su Hongxing indignantly.

Ye Qilan raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Su Hongxing, who looked normal, and asked, “Is that true?”

Su Hongxing couldn’t be bothered to explain, nor did she want to.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qilan pinched her cheek gently. “What kind of physique do you have? Everyone wants to make their presence felt on you.”

When he said this, everyone was very surprised. Even Su Hongxing herself found it unbelievable.

Logically speaking, since Ye Qilan liked Du Qingyu, he should be on the same side as Du Qingyu. Moreover, there was a servant as a witness. No matter what, Ye Qilan should seek justice for Du Qingyu.

However, Ye Qilan did not play by the rules. Even she could not figure out what he was thinking.

“Fourth Young Master, it was clearly Miss Su who disrespected Madam and pushed her into the swimming pool. How could Fourth Young Master protect Miss Su without asking for the reason?!” The servant who complained looked at Ye Qilan in disbelief.

“Hongxing is my woman. Of course, I should trust her unconditionally. Should I trust a petty person like you who only wants to stir up trouble?” Ye Qilan asked calmly.
