The elderly indeed should be resting by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong force came from his hand, as Li Mochan pulled her towards the exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Li Mochan, my snacks...\" Before leaving, Master Jiu still remembered her \"cute\" little snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll bring them to you tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning from the restroom, the elder Mrs. Jiang saw the empty sofa and her anger surged instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Mochan, you brat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roaring voice full of vigor echoed in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom Chrysanthemum heard the commotion from the kitchen, turned off the stove, and hurried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, what’s the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom Chrysanthemum, stop cooking, everyone has run off,\" Madam Jiang said, rubbing her forehead, her blood pressure rising with her temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was definitely Ahan, that brat, who had spirited away Xiaojiu. What a petty fellow. Was it just because she had chatted with Xiaojiu for a while that he had to sneak off?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom Chrysanthemum gave a resigned smile, stepped forward to support her and consoled her, \"Madam, don’t be angry. It’s rare for Young Master Mohan to be so close to a girl. It’s convenient for the two of them to be alone to foster feelings. This way, you will soon have a granddaughter-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do have a point,\" Madam Jiang said, immediately smiling at the mention of \"granddaughter-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she got home, Ye Jiuliang received a call from Ji Mingqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orange light shone on the empty corridor, carrying a hint of chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang walked leisurely, her phone pressed to her ear, \"Achen has already told me about it. We will handle this matter, and you should just focus on filming your drama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been filming for so long, and you never come to visit the set. Aren’t you ashamed?\" After discussing the main topic, Ji Mingqian began to digress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang laughed softly, teasing him, \"The hot search for the ’Film Emperor Ji’ hasn’t been taken down yet. Planning to go on it again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing she was referring to the hot search about him and Jiang Yisheng, Ji Mingqian clenched his teeth, \"Don’t bring that up with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang turned a corner, entering another long corridor, \"From your tone, could it be that Jiang Yisheng got drunk and took advantage of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy can’t hold his liquor, out in one drink. I kindly took him home, and he vomited all over me,\" Ji Mingqian nearly yelled the last line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but burst into laughter, \"Ji Mingqian, even you have such days, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so funny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not like he did it on purpose.

Ye Jiuliang lowered her gaze towards the floor-to-ceiling window. Using the weak moonlight, the disarray outside the window came into full view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cluster of animal carcasses, drenched in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cats, chickens, dogs, every one of them had their throats slit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most unnerving thing was that there was also a cobra, and at that moment, it was biting the corpses of those small animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang narrowed her eyes dangerously, a bloodthirsty curve tugging at the corner of her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a unique gift for the middle of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and walked back to the bedside table, pulled open a drawer, and felt for a dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawn from its sheath, in the darkness, the blade gleamed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold laugh spread out as Ye Jiuliang looked out the window, sensing someone’s approach. The cobra was staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its long body tensed, ready to strike, poised to spit venom at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang abruptly slid open the French windows and with a flick of her wrist, infusing the throw with strength, the dagger, sharp enough to cut through iron, flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"swoosh,\" the sound of the dagger piercing flesh was clearly audible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hit directly in its vitals, the cobra was pinned to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stopped breathing in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang hooked her lip into a cold smile, stepped around the mess on the ground, bent down, and reached for her dagger, bringing up the skewered cobra with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright red blood dripped slowly down the blade, falling to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang shook the dagger, the snake’s tail swaying in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the dagger’s hilt, she walked back into the room with composed ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking out her phone, she composed a message and sent it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly, the WeChat notification sound rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ji Mingqian replying to her message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today’s surveillance footage at the Ye Family has been erased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can it be recovered?\" Ye Jiuliang asked directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian responded quickly, \"Two minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night was windy, and the stench of blood growing stronger outside the French windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went over to close the window. Just then, Ji Mingqian sent a video followed by a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite the show in the middle of the night, lively, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his teasing, Ye Jiuliang clicked on the video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the video ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She twisted her lips, her delicate eyebrows and eyes unable to suppress the untamed coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like someone hasn’t had enough of a beating last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stuffed her phone into her pocket, dagger in hand, opened the door, and stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the clean marble floor, tiny beads of bright red blood blossomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already eleven o’clock, and the living room was eerily quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a soul in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang glanced around, her icy gaze landing on the vase on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She strode over, grabbed the vase without blinking, and hurled it hard to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CRASH—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sound shattered the night’s silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the guards on patrol rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fierce aura evaporated the moment they saw who had caused the commotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren hurried over, and the guards quickly made way for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the young girl sitting on the sofa, Aren was slightly surprised. He caught a glimpse of the shattered pieces on the floor, a bad premonition rising in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked cautiously, \"Miss Jiuliang, did you smash this vase on the floor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang curled her lips, admitting, \"I smashed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\" Aren was choked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would you mind calling the others over? Otherwise, I’ll have to keep smashing things,\" Ye Jiuliang said coolly, her eyes slightly lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jiuliang, it’s late, everyone’s resting.
