Chapter 1453: A Fair Way to Retaliate

Still in a state of agitation, Wang Yaran didn't even think before retorting: "Shouldn't I hate you? Because of you, I became a laughingstock!"

"But you were the one willing to cooperate with the Qin Dynasty, and you were the one willing to make a trade with the family. You walked step by step to where you are today for the sake of benefits; how can you expect us to be responsible for your greed?"

Wang Yaran couldn't refute a single word of Liu Xin'ai's statement.

Yet, instead of looking for the cause within herself, Wang Yaran glared hatefully at Liu Xin'ai and said through gritted teeth: "I really hate your high-and-mighty attitude! You only say such disgusting things because you have someone backing you up now!"

Wang Yaran's behavior made Qin Yiyan frown.

He felt there was no longer any need to continue communicating with this woman.

Because she simply felt that the whole world owed her, that she was the most innocent, and even if she used others, it was just destiny!

Want her to admit her mistakes?

I'm afraid only the police could manage that!

Since that was the case...

"Hand her over to the police; we can always find evidence of her wrongdoing!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaran was no longer arrogant.

Her eyes darted around, and she demanded: "I still have a flight to catch, hurry up and let me go!"

"Thinking of leaving is impossible; your mother has also been sent back home."

Wh-what!?

Qin Yiyan's light, airy sentence nearly caused Wang Yaran's mental defenses to collapse!

She stood stunned for a moment.

The next second, she roared: "Why did you touch her!?"

Qin Yiyan continued to look down at her from a position of superiority, his tone light and slow: "I only sent her home, why are you so nervous?"

Heh, why not be nervous?

The Wang Family had already discovered her little tricks; if she and her mother didn't leave, the Wang Family wouldn't let them off!

Originally, Wang Yaran had arranged everything perfectly.

It was all because of Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai that everything she arranged was ruined!!

The more Wang Yaran thought about it, the more she hated them.

But at this moment, she was powerless to resist and could only lower her pride to plead: "Actually... I was just confused for a moment, I wanted to teach you a small lesson and vent my anger, I really didn't mean to hurt you!"

Qin Yiyan wouldn't believe her nonsense; he sneered: "It's come to this, stop pretending!"

Seeing that Qin Yiyan remained unmoved, Wang Yaran looked at Liu Xin'ai again.

She opened her mouth and immediately resorted to moral kidnapping: "We are both women, why can't you have a little compassion!"

There was no particular expression on Liu Xin'ai's face.

Hearing this accusation...

She said: "You certainly have it tough, having to survive in an environment surrounded by wolves; if you aren't a bit cunning, there wouldn't even be any bones left of you."

These words made Wang Yaran see hope, and she nodded hurriedly.

"However..." Liu Xin'ai's tone shifted, and she asked in return, "We were locked up by you for so long, how do you intend to make amends?"

When it came to making amends, Wang Yaran's first reaction was to pay money.

But Wang Yaran had only just managed to get a huge sum from the Wang Family, and she couldn't bear to pay it out.

After thinking it over...

Wang Yaran made a decision: "Then you lock me up too! When the time is up, let me and my mother leave!"

Liu Xin'ai felt this method was absurd.

But before she could open her mouth to deny it, Qin Yiyan spoke first: "That's a good idea! You all lock her in the Secret Room."

The bodyguards followed Qin Yiyan's arrangements and nimbly threw Wang Yaran into the Secret Room.

Their movements were fast; before Wang Yaran could even regain her senses, she was already lying on the floor of the Secret Room.

As soon as the door closed, a chill rose from the soles of Wang Yaran's feet!

Just before, Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan had been locked up together; at least they had each other for company.

And now?

It was entirely Wang Yaran alone, bearing it by herself!

And she was still tied up, unable to hide even if she wanted to!!

Suddenly, the lights around her went out.

Then, there were skeletons, snakes, rats, insects, bloody zombies...

"Ahhh—"

From inside the Secret Room, one scream after another rang out.

Liu Xin'ai watched for a while, then said: "That's enough, otherwise it's easy to scare her into a mental breakdown."

Qin Yiyan was not a person who liked to suffer a loss; he timed it and said: "She locked us up for about half an hour, so we will lock her up for the same amount of time; it's fair."

"You..."

"Xin'ai, are you tired? If you are, I'll send you back first."

Liu Xin'ai knew that Qin Yiyan was trying to send her away.

Once Liu Xin'ai left... he might use even more cruel methods to deal with Wang Yaran!

Based on what Wang Yaran had done, she deserved to be taught a lesson.

But Liu Xin'ai was worried that Qin Yiyan might act impulsively and do something excessive, making the situation difficult to resolve...

Considering this, Liu Xin'ai refused Qin Yiyan and decided to stay.

She kept track of the time, and as soon as it was up, she immediately had someone open the door to the Secret Room.

The person inside had been quiet for a long time.

As the light from outside shone in, everyone discovered Wang Yaran lying on the ground with her body twisted.

At the same time, a foul odor was drifting through the air.

Could this be...

Lin Ze covered his nose and looked toward the area beneath Wang Yaran.

Sure enough, there was a wet patch there!

Yet Wang Yaran seemed to have no sensation, staring at the wall with hollow eyes.

This state...

Liu Xin'ai felt something was wrong, and disregarding the foul odor, she raised her hand to help examine Wang Yaran.

But in a flash, Wang Yaran opened her mouth and lunged over!

Fortunately, Lin Ze reacted quickly and raised his leg to kick Wang Yaran hard!

Wang Yaran's body instantly lost its center of gravity, and after falling, she rolled backward twice.

Yet she seemed not to feel pain, struggling as she reached out toward Liu Xin'ai while screaming frantically.

Her screaming was extremely piercing, making one feel agitated and restless.

Qin Yiyan was undoubtedly the most annoyed one; he made a gesture, and a bodyguard immediately knocked the person unconscious.

The moment Wang Yaran shut her mouth, the world returned to peace.

Qin Yiyan gripped Liu Xin'ai's arm and asked, "Are you alright just now?"

"I'm fine, but I see that Wang Yaran's state is not very good; have someone send her to the Hospital."

Qin Yiyan did not follow Liu Xin'ai's suggestion.

He said with a displeased expression, "Why do I feel like she is faking it? Otherwise, why didn't she attack Lin Ze?"

This...

Liu Xin'ai also could not explain it clearly.

But she knew that if one wanted an accurate result, one would have to send the person to the Hospital for an examination.

Liu Xin'ai still wanted to use this as a reason to take the opportunity to persuade him a little.

But Qin Yiyan stated his thoughts directly: "I will not send her to the Hospital."

"... Why?"

"Because I have no curiosity and don't want to know whether she actually has psychological problems; furthermore, such a person is not worth sympathy."

The answer Qin Yiyan gave directly sealed Liu Xin'ai's mouth.

It also made all the reasons she had prepared useless.

Feeling helpless, Liu Xin'ai simply stopped interfering.

Then, Liu Xin'ai fell silent.

Her silence made Qin Yiyan feel somewhat uneasy.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
