Chapter 732: 360: Going too far in deception!_2

Zhi Ning took the water and drank it down in large gulps.

Suo Lun looked into her eyes and said, "Zhi Ning, you were unwell in Rage Wave Kingdom before, often vomiting blood and becoming thinner than a flowering twig. But after you went to Yanjing, you didn’t have to worry about anything, and you put all your love and emotions into your son. Moreover, to protect your son, you forced yourself to be strong. That’s why your health improved, you became strong, your mind broadened, and you turned into a more beautiful and feisty person."

Suo Lun’s words went straight to Zhi Ning’s heart.

"But as soon as you returned to Rage Wave Kingdom, you fell back into sadness, anger, and sorrow. Even for the matters concerning me and Zhi Li, you are once again draining yourself." Suo Lun said, "If this continues, you will become haggard, narrow-minded, pained, and weak, just like before."

Zhi Ning’s beautiful eyes looked at Suo Lun and said, "You could have resolved all of this, you could have made me a happy little woman."

Suo Lun shook his head and said, "Zhi Ning, I have seen through your brother, I understand him all too well. The fact that he revealed his incapacitation can only prove that he has recovered. His pitiful letters beseeching you to return were not to reconcile with me. He knew in his heart that I would definitely not agree. His sole purpose is just to hold you and your son in his hands as hostages!"

At these words, Zhi Ning’s delicate body trembled, and she hissed, "You think everyone is as despicable as you..."

Zhi Ning quickly became hysterical, fiercely disputing Suo Lun.

"He’s my brother, the brother who I depended on for life. We are the closest to each other. It’s you who has wild ambitions. Over a year ago, to save your Tianshui City, you took advantage of my love for you and possessed me. You keep saying my brother is shameless, but you are the truly shameless one."

Seeing Zhi Ning so agitated, Suo Lun stepped forward to gently support her shoulders.

"Don’t touch me, you shameless villain," Zhi Ning struggled frantically, shouting angrily.

Then, she splashed the water she hadn’t finished drinking directly into Suo Lun’s face.

She didn’t understand why she was so agitated, so angry.

It was unknown whether it was because her brother Zhi Li was the most important person in her heart and not to be defiled by Suo Lun, or because she was angry at Suo Lun’s cold-heartedness.

Suo Lun wiped the water from his face and looked into her eyes, saying, "Zhi Ning, I know that in your heart, I can’t compare to Zhi Li. And the fact that I used you to save Tianshui City from disaster is unforgivable to you. But to protect our child, you need to do this next."

Zhi Ning’s beautiful eyes were red with hatred as she looked at Suo Lun.

Suo Lun said, "Firstly, I will never agree to the terms you proposed. There is no room for reconciliation between me and Zhi Li."

Zhi Ning said, "Fine, then I will help my brother and keep up our relentless fight against you. I made a foolish mistake before, allowing you to escape. I won’t be so foolish this time."

Suo Lun ignored Zhi Ning’s irrational response and continued, "Secondly, after returning to Zhi Du, tell Zhi Li that our negotiations have failed. Do not hide your anger and hatred for me, and do not reveal that you plan to leave with the child. Maintain this hatred, and agree to stay at his side to fight me. This will keep you and the child safe."

"Third, I’ve heard your sister-in-law Fang Qingzhuo is very gentle and kind. Perhaps you can get the true answer about whether Zhi Li is truly fated to have no descendants from her."

"Finally, no matter if we end up as enemies or allies, regardless of the outcome, I will do my utmost to keep you and our child safe." Suo Lun concluded, "Now go back to Zhi Du, and remember what I just said."

Tears had already wet Zhi Ning’s entire face.

Her gaze towards Suo Lun was filled with undisguised hatred.

"Suo Lun, I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to reconcile with my brother Zhi Li for my sake, for our child’s sake?" Zhi Ning said, "This is your last chance."

Suo Lun shook his head.

Instantly, Zhi Ning said word for word, "Suo Lun, I will never forgive you."

Then, she turned and walked away.

...

Luan Yang City!

Turing Duo received a secret letter, a letter from Wangcheng Zidu. The cipher on it was something only she and Zhi Li could understand.

The letter stated that Zhi Li’s recovery was complete. Moreover, in the letter, Zhi Li invited Turing Tuo and Tuli Yang to enter Wangcheng Zidu and attend his and Turing Mo’s wedding.

As Turing Duo looked at the letter, her feelings were incredibly complex.

It meant that the moment had finally arrived, the moments of her affair with Zhi Li, and the moments of plotting to murder her husband.

She and Tuli Yang had been married for over half a year, and during this time, Tuli Yang had perfectly embodied the most ideal husband.

His care was meticulous, and his love was absolutely devoted.

Turing Duo could hardly imagine that a person could be so good to another.

So tender to the bone, so attentive to detail.

Moreover, throughout this half year, she had been playing the role of a paralytic, without any intimate contact with Tuli Yang.

Yet Tuli Yang never showed the slightest disdain, always afraid of not taking good enough care of her.

Humans are not heartless like grass and trees.

Despite the prior agreement with Zhi Li that they would conceive a child and then murder Tuli Yang, making her and Zhi Li’s child the Lord of Luan Yang City.

Now, Turing Duo truly had a change of heart and found it difficult to proceed.

But could she really live the rest of her life so meekly?

Closing her eyes, she pondered for a full quarter of an hour, and Turing Duo had her answer.

...

In the Governor’s mansion of Donghai City!

Suddenly, Yan Nai’er burst in, urgently saying, "Husband, one of our maritime trade fleets was robbed near the Pirate Harbor, fifteen hundred thousand Gold Coins were stolen, two thousand of our people were captured, and over three hundred were killed. Not only that, but our auction at Pirate Harbor was also completely overtaken and blockaded!"

Suo Lun was startled and could hardly believe his ears.

At this moment, the Suo family’s power was at its zenith, and all forces under the heavens steered clear of their edge. How could anyone provoke them deliberately?

"Who did this?" Suo Lun asked.

"The new King of the Rock Pirates, your half-brother, Yan Mo," Yan Nai’er said.

Yan Mo? The last time he had sent the Rock Pirates to join Gui Xingfu’s navy to plunder the Chaos Stone Island Salt Fields during a moment of chaos, Suo Lun had not yet had the chance to settle the account with him, and now he was knocking at his door again; what did this mean?

Yan Nai’er said, "He also sent a letter."

After Suo Lun took it and opened it, the arrogance of Yan Mo leapt off the page, confronting him head-on.

"Suo Lun, come to Pirate Harbor for a chat, or I will blockade all of Suo’s maritime trade routes. Any Suo merchant ships I see, I’ll attack. Don’t expect to sell a single Mirror or an ounce of salt by sea," it read.

Instantly, Suo Lun’s rage skyrocketed. This was going too far!

Had Yan Mo lost his mind?
