Chapter 155 Hongying wants to kill Lin Yiyi.
Just as Hongying was about to lose her temper, the person who reported the incident continued, "But this time we saw the owner of the Shadow Hall."
"Who is it?" Hongying frowned.
"It's the Prince's Banquet." The subordinate replied quickly.
"Wang Ziyan?" Hong Ying murmured the name, and then she laughed, "Oh, it turns out to be you, you hid it really well." Then she said to her subordinates, "Spread the news to Yingtang and Jiang Xue, and execute Lin Yiyi in three days."
"Yes."
After her subordinates left, Hongying's eyes became dangerous and the corners of her mouth rose. Humph, she wanted to lure Jiang Xue and Wang Ziyan here, and then kill them all, so that no one could block her way.
------
The sun slowly rose in the sky. In the cell where Lin Yiyi was, a ray of sunlight shone through the high window and hit Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi slightly raised her face, which was slightly wet. It was hard to tell whether it was the sweat from being tortured by the cold needles all night or the tears from the pain. Her beautiful and ethereal face was pale and bloodless, so fragile that it made people feel distressed.
Lin Yiyi looked at the sunlight shining on her face. It seemed warm but also a little cool.
After just a moment, the weak back bent down. Lin Yiyi lowered her silent eyes, and her messy hair was stuck to her bloody white neck because of sweat. In just one night, Lin Yiyi was tortured beyond recognition. Her once lively and clear eyes were empty and lifeless.
Mo Cang was surprised when he saw Lin Yiyi outside. He looked at his men beside him and asked, "She didn't say a word all night?"
"Yes."
Mo Cang looked at Lin Yiyi again. He didn't expect that such a thin and skinny figure would have such strong willpower. The cold poison on the cold needle was the coldest thing in the world. Ordinary people couldn't stand it at all, but Lin Yiyi in front of him persisted for the whole night.
"Open the door." Mo Cang said softly.
His men immediately opened the door. Lin Yiyi heard someone coming in, but she didn't have the strength to look up.
Mo Cang walked in front of Lin Yiyi, squatted down and placed a bowl of water in front of her. Lin Yiyi didn't say a word, eagerly picked up the water in front of her and started drinking.
The cool water slid down her throat, and Lin Yiyi felt that her throat seemed to be much more comfortable, so she drank the rest of the water in one breath.
Mo Cang whispered beside him: "Miss Lin, why bother? If you cooperate with us, you won't be tortured like this."
Lin Yiyi's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she put the bowl aside. Without raising her head, she said hoarsely, "If you were caught, would you also betray your landlord?"
Mo Cang's expression changed, and he said directly: "No."
Lin Yiyi raised the corner of her mouth but said nothing.
Mo Cang knew it was too late for him to say anything, so he said, "We already know who the big boss of Yingtang is."
Lin Yiyi's heart trembled, she looked up at Mo Cang and whispered, "Are you lying to me?"
"No, Prince Yan destroyed our Qianyu Casino in the capital last night, and deliberately spread the news to let us know that the owner is him."
Lin Yiyi's eyes were filled with surprise, and then she thought of what Wang Ziyan had found out. If he exposed his identity like this, wouldn't all the pain she had endured in the past few days be in vain?
"Ms. Lin, I know you like him, and he...cares about you too." Mo Cang said with deep eyes.
Lin Yiyi snorted coldly and said, "So what if I care?"
"You don't like him?" Mo Cang asked.
However, Lin Yiyi did not answer Mo Cang's words, but just reminded him kindly: "Master Mo, let me remind you that it is better to be ruthless when dealing with your enemies. If you are too compassionate like you, you will die quickly."
"You..." Mo Cang narrowed his eyes slightly. Lin Yiyi was right. He came to inform Lin Yiyi that she would be executed the day after tomorrow, but when he saw her tragic appearance, he felt sympathy for her again.
"Thank you for your reminder." Mo Cang said coldly: "You will be on your way the day after tomorrow, so cherish these last moments."
After saying that, Mo Cang left and the cell door closed again. Lin Yiyi lay on the ground. She had already guessed Hong Ying's purpose. She wanted to use her to deal with Wang Ziyan.
But... I wonder what Wang Ziyan would do if he knew he was dying? Would he save himself at all costs, or would he be rational and give up himself for the sake of the overall situation?
As she was thinking, Lin Yiyi laughed absentmindedly. What was she thinking about? Wang Ziyan could hide his identity from her, which meant that in his heart, she was not the most important. So... the result was predictable, he would choose the latter.
------
In a courtyard in the capital, after hearing the report from his subordinates, Wang Ziyan learned about Lin Yiyi's identity. It turned out that she was the daughter of Prime Minister Lin. This news was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, making him even more regretful.
He had not deliberately checked Yiyi's identity before, but he did not expect that she was the daughter of Prime Minister Lin.
"Sir, the people from Fengyun Tower have spread the news that they will kill Miss Lin the day after tomorrow. What should we do?"
Wang Ziyan's eyes moved slightly. He had been rushing to the capital city these past few days and destroyed the Fengyun Tower's business site. He had lost weight visibly.
There was no expression on his cold face, but a chilling aura emanated from his whole body. Atong felt that the young master had changed too much in the past few days. In the past, even if he was angry, he would not do things so ruthlessly, but now... he was decisive and ruthless.
"Speed up the process and find the location of Fengyun Tower." Wang Ziyan said only this sentence and was about to get up and leave.
Ah Hui came in from outside, "Boss, Prime Minister Lin is here."
Wang Ziyan's eyes tightened and his hands clenched unconsciously. After a moment, he reacted and said, "Please come in."
"Yes."
When Lin Yanfu came in, he saw Wang Ziyan standing there, so he didn't exchange pleasantries and asked directly, "Young Marquis has returned to the capital. How is Yiyi?"
Wang Ziyan's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at Lin Yanfu. It seemed that he no longer had the high-spirited look he had before. His originally black hair was now stained with a layer of white frost, and his complexion no longer looked as healthy as before.
Prince Yan couldn't help but say: "Prime Minister, you..."
Lin Yanfu knew what Prince Yan meant, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've been busy these past few days and I'm tired."
Prince Yan nodded slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Yiyi is fine."
"When will she return to the capital?"
"It's almost there." Wang Ziyan's eyes drifted away, not daring to look at Lin Yanfu.
Lin Yanfu nodded and said, "Yiyi ran away to escape marriage. I spent a long time looking for her before I could find out anything about her. But when I sent someone to look for her, she left again. When I heard that the Queen Mother was going to send someone to harm you, I was always worried. Fortunately... fortunately... you are all fine."
"Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. You don't have to worry. Yiyi will be fine."
"Yes." Lin Yanfu nodded, and then said apologetically: "Young Marquis, Yiyi is young and ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf."
"Don't say that. If Yiyi hadn't run away from her marriage, we wouldn't have met each other, and I wouldn't have fallen in love with Yiyi."
Lin Yanfu's old face was slightly stunned, and then he nodded, "That's it... that's good."
Later, Lin Yanfu asked a few more questions about Jiang Xue's situation, and then left in a hurry because of something.
Wang Ziyan looked at Lin Yanfu's expression and knew that he was very worried about his daughter. He pursed his lips slightly, but he still chose to keep it a secret.
When Lin Yanfu came out, he went to Jiang Jian's house and told Jiang Jian the news. Jiang Jian, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was relieved to hear that Jiang Xue was fine, and then said to Lin Yanfu: "Yanfu, I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
"What are you talking about, old man? Can I just watch you die?"
Jiang Jian smiled softly and patted Lin Yanfu on the shoulder. "I owe you this time. If you hadn't bet your life, I might have died a long time ago."
"Bah! You are so lucky, who dares to take your life?"
Jiang Jian glanced at his legs with a gloomy look and looked depressed.
Lin Yanfu noticed Jiang Jian's mood, looked at Jiang Jian's legs, sighed and said, "Old man, how are you going to explain to Xue'er when she comes back?"
Jiang Jian looked up at Lin Yanfu and said with a wry smile: "She already knows."
"When did it happen?" Lin Yanfu asked in surprise.
Jiang Jian thought of the envelope he received two days ago and said, "I was able to stay safe this time thanks to Xue'er's help in the capital."
