Chapter 548: Traitors Will Die

After the heavy rain, in the dark and damp dungeon, water drops seeped out from the cracks in the stones and dripped onto the ground.

Du Ying was wearing high-top leather boots, and the crisp footsteps echoed in the long corridor.

Following behind her was Shen Luoting, whose face was ashen, and his steps seemed difficult and heavy.

“Miss Ying, please come this way.” The task force member led the way respectfully, but when he caught a glimpse of her stunningly beautiful face, he quickly lowered his head, his ears flushed with embarrassment.

My sister-in-law is so beautiful!
No wonder the commander was so bewitched that he stayed in Haicheng and didn’t even go back to the Imperial Capital headquarters.

The iron gate creaked open, and under the dim light, Yao Zhan and Jin Fanghua were in dishevelled clothes, unkempt hair and dirty faces, having long lost their former glamorous and noble appearance.

“Xiaoying! Luo Ting!” Yao Zhan raised his head suddenly, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, “You are here to save us, right? Uncle knows he was wrong, please forgive him.”

Du Ying stood in front of them, looking down at the miserable couple, her uncle and aunt who once pretended to care about her but were actually hypocritical and snobbish.

Her chest heaved violently, and anger almost burst out from her cold eyes.

“Save you?” She sneered, her voice as if it was icy, “When you betrayed the Shen family, did you ever think about the consequences?”

Yao Zhan struggled forward and threw himself against the iron railing, making a loud noise. “Xiaoying, we were forced to do this! Mo Fan was captured by the Jiang family, and they threatened to kill him!”

“Wow, Mo Fan is our only son. Am I going to watch him die? My life is so miserable…” Jin Fanghua cried in despair.

“So you’re going to sell out the Shen family? You’re going to sell out your relatives?” Shen Luoting suddenly raised his voice, and his anger echoed in the dungeon. “The Shen family has protected you for decades and given you wealth and glory, and this is how you repay them?”

He swung his fist hard and smashed it against the wall, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Jin Fanghua screamed in fear and shrank into the corner.

“Do you know that because of your betrayal, the Shen family was almost destroyed!” Du Ying’s voice was cold, and her expression was chilling. “You caused Grandpa to be almost assassinated, and Tang Yuewei’s brother and sister were also attacked. Not only the Shen family, you also want to destroy the Yao family and the Tang family!”

The four major wealthy families in Haicheng are the Shen family, the Tang family, the Yu family, and the Yao family.

Because of the stupid things done by Mr. and Mrs. Yao Zhan, the Jiang family successfully launched a surprise attack on the Shen family and the Tang family, and the Haicheng Yao family was completely destroyed.

If Du Ying and Chu Siyang had not been in Haicheng, and if the elites of the Special Task Force had not stepped in, both the Shen and Tang families would have been in danger.

“No, no, we didn’t know it would be so serious!” Yao Zhan shouted in panic, “The Jiang family only asked for some information, we thought…”

He really didn’t know that Mr. Yao would be assassinated.

Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to plot against his own father.

“What do you think?” Du Ying sneered and interrupted him sarcastically, “Do you think you won’t pay a price for betraying your family? Do you think the twelve noble families are all vegetarians?”

Yao Zhan had no awareness of being a child of a wealthy family. He was coerced and bribed by the Jiang family into doing the foolish thing of betraying his family.

Such a person cannot be tolerated by the Yao family, let alone the entire wealthy circle.

Du Ying looked coldly at the ignorant and stupid appearance of the couple and suddenly felt very bored.

People like them only know how to take advantage of their family and enjoy wealth and glory, and never take the family’s honor and responsibility seriously.

In the final analysis, they are all extremely selfish villains!
She turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Jin Fanghua’s crying.

“Xiaoying, please, for Mo Fan’s sake, forgive us.” Jin Fanghua knelt on the ground, resting her forehead on the cold ground. “Mo Fan is your cousin. He has always been good to you and even helped you with experiments…”

Du Ying pursed her lips. Her chest felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, making her feel very stuffy.

She has been trying to find a way to rescue Yao Mofan and has come up with different plans for this purpose.

However, Yao Zhan and Jin Fanghua stabbed them in the back and betrayed their own people.

To be precise, the three members of the Yao family have no blood relationship with her.

If it wasn’t for the sake of Mr. Yao and Yao Lixuan, she wouldn’t bother to care about their life or death!
“Forgiveness is impossible.” She said calmly, with a piercing coldness in her voice, “From the moment you chose to betray me, everything is too late.”

The betrayer will only die!

This is the unwritten rule of the nobles.*
Du Ying left the dungeon and Chu Siyang, wearing a long windbreaker, was waiting for her by the car.

“Are you tired? You don’t look well.” The man took off his windbreaker and put it on her. His movements were gentle, completely different from his stern image just now.

“Sir, our people captured Madam Yu at the airport. She plans to escape to Yuzizhou.” A member of the task force reported.

Chu Siyang’s gaze fell directly on Du Ying’s face. Seeing that she had a gloomy face and looked slightly angry, he frowned slightly.

“Don’t worry, she can’t escape.” He opened the car door and let Du Ying sit in the back seat. “This time, the Yao and Zhan couple betrayed the Shen family, and the Yu family made a lot of efforts in secret.”

Du Ying nodded silently. Yao Zhan and Jin Fanghua, those two idiots, were not capable of calling the shots in Haicheng.

But if the Yu family is behind it, it would be different.

“Let’s go meet Madam Yu together. I just have something to say to her.” Du Ying thought of something and it was time to tell Madam Yu the truth.

The car started slowly.

The car window was half lowered, and a light breeze blew on her face from outside. Du Ying took a deep breath, trying to dispel the stuffiness in her chest.

Chu Siyang’s big hand stroked her back, and the warmth spread throughout her body through the fabric.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Chu Siyang could clearly feel the tenseness in her body, and his deep voice was filled with undisguised concern.

Du Ying shook her head, and the corners of her lips barely pulled out an arc, “I just didn’t expect… Yao Zhan and his wife were so stupid that they chose a dead end.”

After all, she had called them uncle and aunt, and she saw with her own eyes that the whole family was trying to commit suicide, and she felt very bad.

Chu Siyang chuckled and rubbed her face with his hand, “Are you soft-hearted?”

Du Ying slapped his hand away, her face red with anger, “They deserve it!”

If Chu Siyang had not received the news in advance and secretly sent out an elite task force with careful deployment, the four major families in Haicheng would have been wiped out.

The purpose of the Jiang family’s sneak attack this time is to stir up bloodshed among the wealthy families in Haicheng.

To give a warning to the powerful families who stand against the Jiang family.

Chu Siyang turned his head and stared at her. The sunlight shone through the car window onto his well-defined face, outlining a golden edge.

“Why are you looking at me…?” His eyes were so deep that Du Ying’s heart beat faster.

“Xiaowai.” His deep voice was particularly clear in the small space of the car, “Do you know what I like most about you?”

Du Ying held her breath and pretended to be calm, “What?”

“You’re so soft-hearted, but you pretend to be cold.” He chuckled and ruffled her hair, making it messy like a kitten with its fur standing on end. “So adorable.”

Du Ying was so angry that she slapped his hand away, “Chu Siyang! You messed up my hair, believe it or not…”

Her harsh words were cut off by the sudden kiss.

The man’s lips were warm and strong, with an irresistible force.

Du Ying struggled for a moment, but soon fell into this kiss…

The task force member driving in front: “…”

They get married as soon as they disagree.

You are worthy of being my commander!
When Chu Siyang stepped back, Du Ying’s face turned red and her breathing became a little unstable.

“You look much better now.” He rubbed the corner of her wet lips with his thumb. “When you came out of the dungeon just now, your face and expression made my heart ache.”

Du Ying felt warm in her heart, but she was not forgiving in her words, “Stop it, when did Young Master Chu become so cheesy?”

Chu Siyang had a faint smile on his face and said in a low voice, “Only to you.”
