Xing Nian threw the knife in her hand to the ground. She ignored Xier's screams and the heavy sound of bodyguards dragging Xu Li's body and left behind a resolute back.

Back in the room, her face was as calm as water. She walked into the bathroom and let the clear water wash away the glaring red on her hands.

She had no regrets about Xu Li's death. She just regretted that she was too impulsive. How could she let a wicked person like Xu Li die so easily? She should also taste the pain that Gu Nuan had suffered.

As the night deepened, Xing Nian stayed alone in the room, his mind gradually calming down, as if all the noise had gone away.

However, this tranquility did not last long. The door was quietly pushed open, and Helan Xi, dressed in black, walked into the room silently like a ghost in the dark night.

He stood at the edge of the balcony, his eyes meeting Xing Nian's as he stared out the window, his tone somewhat playful:

"I never knew that Madam Mu was so resolute and decisive in killing people. I thought that a girl like you who seemed weak would be terrified and unable to sleep at night after killing someone."

Xing Nian sneered when he heard this, and responded with disdain: "Mr. Helan may be disappointed. This is not the first time I have killed someone, so I don't have any psychological burden. What's more, I killed the person who deserved to be killed."

Upon hearing this, Helan Xi approached with steady steps, leaned over and looked Xing Nian in the eye. The cold aura on him blended into the night, making people feel chilled.

He stared into Xing Nian's eyes that were not disturbed by fear, and finally stood up slowly, with an unfathomable smile on his lips: "Since Madam Mu can be indifferent to matters of life and death, then I think you won't mind watching a video with me, right?"

Xing Nian frowned slightly, his eyes as sharp as torches, trying to penetrate Helan Xi's deep eyes and explore the real intention behind them.

She was secretly on guard in her heart. What tricks was this guy trying to play?

Helan Xi took out the projection equipment and then imported the video in the mobile phone into the projector.

Xing Nianben was not interested in watching the video. When he was about to turn his head to look out the window, he unexpectedly caught a familiar voice in the video.

She looked back and saw a group of people having a fierce gunfight in a certain place in the video, and the air was filled with smoke. Following the sound, she finally recognized Mu Huaichen's figure behind the car.

At this moment, Mu Huaichen's face was covered in blood and his hair was messy, which was very different from his usual image of a well-dressed and graceful boss.

Xing Nian stood up and stared at the screen.

In the video, more than one force shot at Mu Huaichen and his companions. After careful counting, there were actually three parties. She watched Mu Huaichen's men fall one after another, and his coat was stained with blood.

Xing Nian's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that Mu Huaichen was injured and seriously injured.

She suppressed her worries and continued watching until the video was interrupted by the explosion of a grenade, and the picture finally froze in a chaotic smoke. She had no way of knowing whether Mu Huaichen was safe or not.

In anger, Xing Nian grabbed Helan Xi by the collar and asked repeatedly: "When did this happen? What did you do to Huaichen? How is he now?"

A playful smile appeared on Helan Xi's lips: "It's really rare, Madam Mu Shao, after so many days, I finally see an anxious look on your face."

He gently pushed Xing Nian's hand away, straightened his collar and continued, "This video was sent from the United States three days ago. As for Mu Huaichen's subsequent situation, I know nothing about it."

Xing Nian clenched his teeth, secretly speculating in his heart that Helan Xi was able to obtain this video, perhaps in collusion with his and Mu Huaichen's enemies.

She knew Helan Xi's intention very well. He just wanted to see her panic and worry about Mu Huaichen's life or death. However, she forced herself to stay calm and not fall into the other party's trap. What's more, she had absolute confidence in Mu Huaichen's strength and didn't believe that he would easily fall into danger.

Helan Xi was originally admiring Xing Nian, but accidentally caught her angry and panicked expression.

Then, Xing Nian's eyebrows slowly relaxed and his tense body gradually relaxed.

Helan Xi felt a little unhappy. His original intention of obtaining this video was not to witness Xing Nian's reaction. He expected her to panic and even hysterically question him about Mu Huaichen's whereabouts, rather than being calm and composed at this moment.

"Are you disappointed seeing my expression? It didn't meet your expectations." Xing Nian chuckled and then sat down.

"Helan Xi, sometimes I really feel sorry for you. You keep saying that you love Gu Nuan, but you ignore what you did to her, even the servants in the villa bullying her. If you didn't acquiesce, how dare they be so presumptuous?"

"Oh, by the way, I remember that your mother seemed to be taken away by your father, and you were born under coercion. It seems that you are exactly like your father, with the possessiveness and madness of the Helan family flowing in your blood. You say you love, but in fact you are hurting the one you love. No wonder the Helan family has only one descendant, and they all have an extreme desire to control their loved ones."

Helan Xi's slender hands trembled slightly and clenched into fists.

When he was a child, his mother never hugged him, and even every time she saw him, she showed hatred on her face.

At first, he didn't understand the reason. It was not until he grew up and witnessed his mother committing suicide in front of him that he learned from the housekeeper that his mother was abducted by his father and forced to become pregnant and give birth to him.

From that moment on, his respect for his father completely turned into hatred, and he even occasionally felt that it was a shame to have such blood flowing in his body. However, as father and son, they shared the same blood, and he also inherited his father's paranoia and madness.

After meeting Gu Nuan, her warm glow like a little sun made Helan Xi, who was gloomy inside, want to pull her from the light into the darkness. He was curious, what would it be like if such a radiant girl fell from the clouds to hell?

To this end, he set numerous traps, eventually forcing Gu Nuan to sell herself at an auction in exchange for a huge amount of money to maintain the operation of the welfare home.

He watched coldly as Gu Nuan stepped step by step into the trap he had set, enjoying the pleasure of playing with his prey in the palm of his hand.

Whenever Gu Nuan resisted or went against his wishes, the violent gene in Helan Xi's body would be aroused. He just wanted Gu Nuan to stay by his side obediently, without having to think, and let him arrange everything.

But Gu Nuan's desire for the outside world made him intolerable, and he continued to hurt Gu Nuan in the name of love.

When Gu Nuan gradually became less aggressive and more docile, Helan Xi thought she belonged to him completely and would never leave his protection. However, he never expected that Gu Nuan never gave up the idea of ​​escaping and finally chose to commit suicide to completely get rid of his bondage.

Helan Xi's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped Xing Nian's neck tightly, refusing to let go. His strength was so great that Xing Nian was almost certain that he intended to kill her.

The thing he couldn't stand the most was being compared to his father. He always denied it, insisting that he would never follow in his father's footsteps, but his words and actions were exactly like his father's.

Xing Nian deeply felt Helan Xi's murderous intent, and pulled out his hand with all his strength, accurately hitting his acupoints, causing him to lose the ability to move instantly.

Then, she kicked Helan Xi away and coughed a few times, her hand still covering her neck which was pinched and hurt.

Helan Xi was kicked to the ground. Although his anger had subsided a little, his eyes were still red as he glared at Xing Nian.

"What good will it do you to provoke me? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"You won't kill me," Xing Nian covered his neck, his voice a little difficult, "You are no different from your father in your bones. You are paranoid and crazy towards the people you care about. Since I haven't met your expectations, how could you take my life so easily?"

Helan Xi's aura became as cold as a demon returning from hell. He turned around viciously and left the room.
