"Why should I care? I'm only here to save the Scattered Soul Boss and keep Meng Po's position. The rest is none of my business."
"You don't understand a thing. Zhou Yu is the world's corner; if he dies, Nan Jing's soul will be exposed. He’s in a weakened state and could easily be attacked by enemies. With that level of combat, how could a mere Meng Po like you survive being dragged into it?"
Yun Zhi Yue cursed inwardly. Wasn't this just using someone else's Little World status as a shield? When she arrived, the Reincarnation Stone didn't mention there would be so many complications. She was only trying to keep her job, and now it was tied to life and death? She had fallen into a trap!
Now that she wanted to quit the underworld, the Reincarnation Stone would never agree.
Yun Zhi Yue remained silent for a long time, while Zhou Yuan's face twisted with anger. "Aren't you fond of Zhou Yu? If you really like him, how can you not even save him?"
Yun Zhi Yue glared at him. "Why do you drag me into your hatred for him? I was also rejected! I'm on your side here." She had tried to get close but failed.
Zhou Yuan sneered, "Let me tell you this: if you don’t go, today will be Zhou Yu's death day. After he dies, I might still have a chance to fight for the Zhou family's fortune."
Yun Zhi Yue narrowed her eyes. Zhou Yuan was clearly foolish; he had already shown his face in the Yun Family, and regardless of whether she got into trouble or not, he would escape unscathed. Who brainwashed her into being so reckless? Yue Tong? Hadn’t she already been forced out by Nan Jing? Did she still have the energy to stir up trouble?
To avoid being implicated by the big shots, Yun Zhi Yue obediently followed Zhou Yuan away, preparing to save the world's corner.
No wonder Puppet Body liked him so much; Zhou Yu was a corner, and what did it matter that Puppet Body, this rich young lady, was pursuing him? Didn’t they all go crazy for love?
At that moment at the airport, Yue Tong glanced at her watch and smiled faintly.
Suddenly, the lights went out at the Yun Family banquet. The only thing illuminated was the giant screen in the main hall that began playing a video automatically.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically as they scrambled to make phone calls—reporting to the police and searching for people.
Lan Mu's voice trembled with urgency. "Yun Zhi Yue!"
Zhou Yu's mother looked on in horror as her son hung there; she slapped Zhou Fu's face in despair and screamed hoarsely, "This is your daughter! If anything happens to Xiao Yu, I will kill you!"
Zhou Mu was understandably frantic. In the video, Zhou Yuan, with a crazed look on his face, was holding a gun to Zhou Yu and Yun Zhi Yue.
It appeared to be a factory-like space where Zhou Yu was bound with ropes, her hands tied around her waist and suspended in mid-air. She had likely been hanging there for quite some time, as the veins on her forehead were prominently visible from the strain.
Yun Zhi Yue was being threatened by Zhou Yuan, who had the gun pointed at her head. Upon entering, Zhou Yu's expression darkened. "You've lost your mind. This has nothing to do with Yun Zhi Yue."
Zhou Yuan laughed maniacally. "You're panicking! Didn't you say you didn't like her? Why are you so flustered?"
Zhou Yu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "It's my fault for not recognizing you. There's no need to go this far. No matter who is behind you, they are only causing you harm. You are my half-sister; you know we can never be together. If you're truly unwilling to accept this, just kill me—there's no need to involve the innocent."
Bang! A gunshot rang out, and Zhou Yu let out a muffled groan.
Zhou Yuan's expression was wild with madness. "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Damn it, his aim was terrible; the bullet merely grazed her arm.
Yun Zhi Yue remained silent, watching the chaos unfold.
Truly, Zhou Yu was cursed by romantic misfortune; first, she had entangled herself with someone else, and now another life-threatening situation had arisen.
