The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 567 - Chapter 567 Chapter 566 I'll Do It Myself

Chapter 567: Chapter 566 I’ll Do It Myself Chapter 567: Chapter 566 I’ll Do It Myself Is something the matter?

Shen Yixin and Shen Yihe looked at Lu Mian nervously.

Unexpectedly, Ya Ling twisted Lu Mian’s shoulders, checking her up and down.

Could it be that Brother Mian never fought the mercenaries?

That shouldn’t be the case.

“Is it serious?

How are you feeling now?” Shen Yihe pressed.

When Xiao Qimo had returned from Wucheng earlier that year, they had dined together, and it was then he realized that Qimo’s girlfriend held an exceptional place in his heart.

He understood the situation well, and knew how to make his choice.

The Shen Family couldn’t afford to offend the Xiao Family.

Xiao Qimo coldly added, “It affected her mood.”

Shen Yihe: aEUR|

Everyone: aEUR|

Xiao Qimo, lacking patience to explain each detail, slowly raised his right hand.

His well-defined fingers gestured to the Shadow Guard behind him.

The Shadow Guard then advanced.

Seeing this, Shen Yiyao immediately became agitated.

“Brother Qimo, she’s fine.

Why are you still taking such drastic steps for her?

The Xiao and Shen families have always had good relations.

You can’t destroy the ties between the two families over one woman!

Besides, Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye are here as well!”

Being mentioned, Tang Wenhui paused, speaking in an attempt to smooth things over, “That’s right, Qimo.

Since Miss Lu isn’t hurt, there’s no need to pursue the matter further, is there?

Yiyao is young and can be thoughtless at times; just give her a stern talk.

There’s no need to get physical, right?”

Ye Jinwen looked at his own mother.

Are these the words of a scholar with a Ph.D.?

What does it mean that it’s okay not to pursue responsibility just because the other person is fine?

“Mom, Lu Mian is fine because she’s capable, but that doesn’t negate Shen Yiyao’s actions,” he stated.

Tang Wenhui, losing face, glared at Ye Jinwen, “Ye Jinwen, whose side are you on exactly?”

Ye Jinwen didn’t reply but silently moved to stand beside Ya Ling.

Ya Ling looked slightly disgusted and moved a few steps closer to Lu Mian.

The two Shadow Guards continued to advance, emotionlessly executing their orders.

Their actions represented the will of Xiao Qimo, leaving people in shock and feeling helpless to resist.

Frightened, Shen Yiyao kept retreating while also looking incredibly wronged, “Brother Qimo, are you really going to treat me this way?

If word gets out, people will definitely say you’ve been bewitched by a woman!”

Shen Juntao nodded, “Mr.

Xiao, for the sake of the relationship between our two families, please let Yiyao off just this once.”

Huang Lijun glared at Lu Mian, somewhat arrogantly.

Seeing Lu Mian continuously playing with her phone aggravated her even more.

“Miss Lu, are you really going to stand by and watch Mr.

Xiao get criticized for your sake?

Is this how you act as someone’s girlfriend?”

If it wasn’t for Lu Mian, how could the Shen Family become estranged from the Xiao Family!

Pressured by the Shen couple, Lu Mian had no choice but to look up from her game and cast a glance across the room, casual yet sharp.

She smiled at Xiao Qimo, “Tell them to stop.”

Xiao Qimo didn’t understand her intent but still gave the order.

The Shadow Guards retreated, and Shen Juntao and Huang Lijun let out a huge sigh of relief.

Shen Yiyao gritted her teeth, glaring hatefully at Lu Mian, her heart filled with unwillingness.

“Brother Mian?” Ya Ling thought that with Brother Mian’s style, she wasn’t someone who’d suddenly have a burst of saintly compassion.

She was clear-cut and resolute in her actions.

Others had hired mercenaries to assassinate her; surely, she wasn’t going to let it go just like that.

Lu Mian curved her lips into a smirk, of course, she wasn’t going to let it go so easily, but she had to consider things for Director Qimo.

Looking at Xiao Qimo, she spoke lightly, “I don’t want people to point fingers at you, so…

let me handle this matter myself.”

This unexpected protectiveness warmed Xiao Qimo’s heart, and he softly caressed her hair.

“Truly considerate.”

“`

Huang Lijun protected her daughter, her voice immediately rising by two degrees.

“Lu Mian, don’t go too far!

The Shen Family is not a place for you to run wild.

It’s one thing for Mr.

Xiao to say that, but who do you think you are, daring to be so arrogant!”

“Lu Mian, aren’t you just relying on Brother Qimo to protect you?

Without the Xiao Family, you are nothing!” Shen Yiyao hid behind her parents, her face red with rage.

Shen Yixin and Shen Yihe stood by, unsure of how to intervene.

Logically, they should support their own sister.

But they were well aware of how unreasonable their sister could be and how many wrongs she had committed.

The two shook their heads, intending to admonish Shen Yiyao, but were silenced by the scolding of Mr.

and Mrs.

Shen, so they said nothing more.

“Lu Mian, if you’re so capable, don’t rely on Brother Qimo!

You want my hands?

They’re right here.

If you’re able, come and take them!”

Hmm, someone actually made such a demand.

Lu Mian smiled faintly, a cold and sinister smile, and turned to look at Ya Ling, who was eagerly rubbing her hands together, “Zero, I think Miss Shen’s hands need to be amputated, don’t you think?”

In a very light and faint voice, she said something that made everyone’s hair stand on end, giving them goosebumps to varying degrees.

Frightened.

Ya Ling’s eyes brightened, clicking her tongue, “Based on my diagnosis, amputation is indeed necessary.”

As she spoke, she walked towards Shen Yiyao.

Casually picking up a fruit knife from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, she flipped it around in her hand, gripping the handle firmly.

Ye Qingsui and Tang Wenhui took a step back.

She looked nothing like the Ye Lingxi of the past.

The Ye Lingxi of the past was a white-robed angel full of passion, saving lives and healing the wounded.

The current Ya Ling was a killer-like figure that struck fear into the very core of people.

It wasn’t until this moment that Tang Wenhui realized that Ye Lingxi had really changed!

And she, looking at Ya Ling’s demeanor, couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear and trepidation.

As Ya Ling approached closer to Shen Yiyao, the Shen couple guarded their daughter, but Ya Ling, the commanding figure, reached out and pulled Shen Yiyao outside, pinning her down on the coffee table with a skillful capture technique.

Her hands landed firmly on the table, completely at the mercy of others.

With Ya Ling stepping on Shen Yiyao’s back, the fruit knife swishing back and forth, everyone present was too scared to even take a breath.

“Xi Xi…” Shen Yixin’s eyes filled with tears, not knowing what to say.

More than anything, she felt heartache.

What on earth had Xi Xi been through to become like this?

And how did she end up aligning with Miss Lu?

Equally shocked was Ye Jinwen who looked at Ya Ling and then at Lu Mian.

It seemed like he understood something, yet it wasn’t quite clear.

His gaze remained fixated on Ya Ling, reluctant to look away for even a moment.

“Miss Shen, don’t worry, my knife skills are pretty good.

I’ll do a nice job for you.”

The cold voice came from overhead, and Shen Yiyao, who had asked for abuse, realized that Lu Mian indeed did not need to use any of Xiao Qimo’s power to kill her.

Even if Ya Ling were not present, if Lu Mian wanted to do something, no one could stop her.

At this moment, if Shen Yiyao still did not perceive the danger, she would be too foolish.

She struggled in vain, feeling only the cold temperature of the fruit knife landing on her wrist.

“You…

weren’t you my sister’s best friend?

How could you do this to me?!”

Ya Ling spoke with a light and mocking tone, “Oh, then for the sake of your sister’s face, I’ll make it quick.

It won’t hurt too much.”

The blade of Ya Ling’s knife had already left a mark on the skin of Shen Yiyao’s wrists.

“AhhaEUR”” A scream like that of a pig being slaughtered filled the living room.

Mr.

and Mrs.

Shen’s eyes were fixed in terror, fraught with anxiety.

“Family Head Ye, Mrs.

Ye!

Please save our daughter!”

Ye Qingsui and Tang Wenhui were still in shock themselves, how could they care for the Shen Family?

Huang Lijun had no choice but to turn to Xiao Qimo, “Mr.

Xiao, Yiyao knows she was wrong, she really understands her mistake, we can compensate Miss Lu…

Please, just let her go this once!”
