Chapter 58: Yu Meng: You All Deserve to Die
Yu Meng skillfully evaded surveillance after surveillance, infiltrating the Zhao family estate like a panther in the darkness. Her gaze, shadowy and somber, settled on the three people in the Zhang familyâs grand hall.
âCherish your last moments! Tomorrow, youâll be forcefully bankrupted, all your assets repossessed.â
The family sat together, gloomy and despondent. Ye Chen was absent; as a guest, he couldnât involve himself in such matters.
âDad, is there really no other way?â Zhao Shaotian asked, still not giving up hope.
âWhat other way could there be? Youâve messed everything up,â Zhaoâs father coldly retorted, his gaze icy as he looked at his son.
âExactly, why did you have to provoke Lu Li? Even if heâs a nobody, heâs still a young master of the Lu family. Can you compare to him?â Zhao Lu casually played with her fingers, regarding her brother with disdain, as if he were trash.
âZhao Lu, how dare you? When our family had a chance, why didnât you behave properly? How does the bankruptcy of the Zhao family benefit you?â Zhao Shaotian exploded in anger.
âMe? Deal with the mess youâve created? Zhao Shaotian, youâre indeed the worldâs best big brother,â Zhao Lu sneered.
âHmph! Youâre also a daughter of the Zhao family. Itâs your duty to contribute when the family is in trouble. My pampering you in the past doesnât mean you can act recklessly,â Zhao Shaotian grew angrier, eventually slapping Zhao Lu across the face.
âIf it werenât for you, how could our family have ended up like this? All you had to do was speak nicely to Lu Li, just listen to him obediently. Thatâs all the use your flesh is good for, yet you couldnât even manage that.â
âZhao ShaotianâŠâ Zhao Lu, clutching her face, glared at Zhao Shaotian with resentment.
âDonât give me that! From tomorrow on, youâre no longer the Zhao familyâs young miss. Youâll lose all your clothes, your bank cards will be canceled, and your cosmetics too. I remember you spending at least a few hundred thousand a month on them. Well, you wonât have that chance anymore. What can you do? Oh, maybe you can find a place among the stars, since you wonât compensate Lu Li, go accompany those old men you used to look down upon!â
Zhao Shaotian sneered, entirely avoiding his own culpability.
It seemed only now did Zhao Lu grasp the gravity of their situation, realizing what the bankruptcy of the Zhao family meant. Her complexion turned ashen. Accustomed to a life of luxury, the thought of having her bank cards canceled, losing her clothes, and being forced to accompany men she found repulsive was terrifying.
Zhao Lu was frightened by Zhao Shaotianâs words.
âDadâŠâ She turned, seemingly seeking some reassurance from her father.
But Zhaoâs father, who had been silent since the argument began, merely nodded gravely.
âIf you donât want to suffer beside Lu Li, then prepare to endure the hardships of life!â
Zhao Luâs face was a ghastly white, her previously fiery demeanor collapsing onto the floor.
Yu Meng, having overheard everything, felt a chill in her gaze.
âDaring to offend my big brother, you deserve nothing less than death.â
With that thought, she no longer concealed her presence, confident Ye Chen wasnât around, and revealed herself.
âWho are you? Donât you know the rules? Didnât we say no entry?â Zhao Lu, venting her fear, yelled at Yu Meng.
âAnd you dare to look down on my big brother?â The murderous intent in Yu Mengâs eyes flashed momentarily.
âYou sayâŠâ
Before Zhao Lu could finish, a sharp dagger had already slashed across her throat, silencing her forever.
Yu Meng dodged Zhao Luâs falling body with agility, her shadowy figure appearing before Zhaoâs father, swiftly delivering another blow without giving them time to react.
Turning again, Yu Meng seized Zhao Shaotian by the neck, lifting him with tremendous force. The dagger that had just slit the throats of his father and sister bore no trace of blood.
âIs it with this filthy mouth that you mocked my big brother?â
Zhao Shaotianâs eyes widened in terror, unable to speak under her control. The strength of the woman before him was frightening; his tall frame was effortlessly lifted by her single hand.
Realizing the reason for her visit, he understood she had come because of his mockery of Lu Li. In recent times, he had only mocked one person â Lu Li, the very man who had driven the Zhao family to bankruptcy.
This woman was Lu Liâs person.
With this realization, Zhao Shaotian trembled in regret. He shouldnât have crossed Lu Li.
He had been wrong from the start; Lu Li was not someone the Zhao family could afford to offend. His attempt to benefit from Lu Li had already angered him, not to mention the mockery instigated by Ye Chen.
âDamn it, Ye Chen, youâve doomed me!â Zhao Shaotian was filled with resentment.
Yu Meng didnât care for Zhao Shaotianâs response. She hadnât expected one anyway. The grip on his neck ensured he couldnât make a sound, although missing the pleas was a pity. She had another target â Ye Chen.
The dagger plunged deeply into Zhao Shaotianâs face, utterly destroying his once handsome features. Yu Meng could be the humble Xiao Meng sister in front of Lu Li, but to others, she was the cold-blooded assassin.
When the disguise was stripped away, her enemies realized the terrifying nature of what they had provoked.
Delighting in the horror that transformed Zhao Shaotianâs arrogant visage, Yu Meng felt a rush of satisfaction.
Those who threatened her big brother deserved death.
Having made her point, she delivered the final blow to Zhao Shaotian.
Surveying the chaos of the living room, Yu Mengâs lips curled into a faint smile. She had completed half of the task assigned by her big brother. All that remained was to kill Ye Chen, and then big brother would accept her.
She could prove her unwavering loyalty and remain by her big brotherâs side.
Without bothering to clean the blood off her, Yu Meng headed to Ye Chenâs room.
The vast Zhao estate was eerily quiet, the servants likely having fled upon catching wind of what was happening.
Yu Meng easily found Ye Chenâs room and slowly opened the door.
âWhoâŠâ Ye Chen sensed her almost instantly.
His survival wasnât just due to his erratic thinking or his self-absorbed vanity. He possessed the necessary skills, otherwise, how could he have won over those wild subordinates of his?
âItâs me!â Yu Meng quietly concealed her dagger within her sleeve.
âXiao Meng?â Ye Chen looked at her, surprised.
Noticing the blood on Yu Meng, a dark shadow crossed his eyes. âDid that second-generation idiot Lu Li lay his hands on you?â
Yu Meng was the woman he had set his sights on. Despite her consistent coldness towards him, Ye Chen had long regarded Yu Meng as his woman.
That Lu Li dare to touch his woman.
A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Observing Yu Mengâs current state, he instinctively thought Lu Li had made a move on Yu Meng, who then retaliated.
âLucky for you, to insult me and lay hands on my woman, you died too easily.â
