Chapter 434: Chapter 430 Yu Linger Chapter 434: Chapter 430 Yu Linger Hearing Yu Linger’s voice, Helan Xiaoyue laughed, her laughter cruel.

Her expression was like that of a cat hunting a mouse.

Eerie and terrifying.

Thousand Faces stepped forward two paces, “I, Thousand Faces.”

“Is there something you need?”

Yu Linger asked, puzzled.

“Miss Jiang has sent for you.”

Thousand Faces said casually.

“Just a moment, I am changing.”

Yu Linger called out, completely unsuspecting.

“Okay!”

Thousand Faces replied with a cold smirk.

Thousand Faces gestured toward Yu Tianqi’s room nearby, signaling Helan Xiaoyue to take care of Yu Tianqi first.

However, Helan Xiaoyue shook her head.

Stubbornly pointing at Yu Linger’s door.

Thousand Faces did not press Helan Xiaoyue.

Instead, he pointed off into the distance and made a throat-slitting gesture, indicating to Helan Xiaoyue that he was off to hunt on his own.

Helan Xiaoyue nodded indifferently.

Thousand Faces pulled out a steel wire and turned to leave.

Leaving Helan Xiaoyue alone, waiting for Yu Linger.

Thousand Faces walked down the corridor to the end, turned the corner, and entered a room.

This was the room arranged for him by Jiang Xinyan.

Thousand Faces was deceiving Helan Xiaoyue.

He would certainly not risk killing someone.

Thousand Faces planned to wait in the room for Helan Xiaoyue to go on a killing spree in the manor. Then he would fish in troubled waters, taking the chance to kidnap Nannan.

By kidnapping Nannan, he could threaten Jiang Xinyan and Taotie with the child’s life.

Thousand Faces did not believe Jiang Xinyan and Taotie would be so loyal to Fang Xiaocao that they would sacrifice their own daughter’s life.

As long as he controlled Jiang Xinyan and Taotie, he would indirectly control the Tomb Raider Sect.

Then he could accomplish his mission without any obstacles.

Thousand Faces’ plans were grand, calculating everyone’s moves, including Fang Xiaocao’s.

This was also a do-or-die situation; if his plans were exposed, his fate was not hard to imagine.

Whether it was the couple Taotie or Fang Xiaocao, they would not let him off easily.

He would be left begging for life but unable to die.

Creak–
Yu Linger’s door opened!

Seeing Helan Xiaoyue, Yu Linger froze, exclaiming, “Helan…”

Helan Xiaoyue let out a cold laugh, not letting Yu Linger finish her shout, Helan Xiaoyue made her move.

She reached out to cover Yu Linger’s mouth, dragged her into the room, and swiftly shut the door behind them.

Because of the suddenness, Yu Linger staggered, knocking over a stool.

“Sister Linger, we meet again.”

Helan Xiaoyue, with the gleam of a cat’s eye, leaned into Yu Linger’s ear and whispered low.

Her face’s playful expression was the very image of a cat toying with a caught mouse.

Yu Linger stared back with eyes wide with terror.

Tears cascaded down like a broken dam.

In those watery eyes, written with shock and helplessness, the mouth that Helan Xiaoyue covered let out a “wuu wuu” sound, as if pleading, or perhaps crying.

Helan Xiaoyue smirked coldly, her cat-like eyes meeting Yu Linger’s large eyes, “Sister Linger, are you surprised to see your sister, is it unexpected?”

“Are you happy to see your sister free?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, look how happy you are, you’re crying tears of joy.”

Helan Xiaoyue spoke to herself, her expression gradually turning insane, like a crazed sadist.

Yu Linger tried to struggle, desperately shaking her head, attempting to break free from Helan Xiaoyue’s iron grip.

The next second!

Helan Xiaoyue’s expression turned ice-cold.

She grabbed a nearby glass, veins bulging in her hand, with a “bang,” the glass was crushed in Helan Xiaoyue’s grip.

Ignoring the fresh blood flowing from her palm cut by the glass, she grabbed a shard and pressed it against Yu Linger’s neck, “Sister Lingling, if you struggle again, Sister will first scratch your face with this piece of glass, then cut open your neck and sever your artery.”

“Such tender cheeks, if they get scratched, won’t look pretty anymore.”

Hearing Helan Xiaoyue’s words and feeling the chill of the glass shard against her skin, Yu Linger trembled with fear and shook uncontrollably.

She appeared as helpless as a little child.

“Be good, don’t struggle.”

“Listen to Sister obediently.”

“Sister promises not to hurt you.”

Helan Xiaoyue’s cat-like eyes glittered with a bloodthirsty light, her entire demeanor was extremely ominous.

Yu Linger swallowed hard and nodded her head.

“That’s a good girl.”

Helan Xiaoyue smirked ruthlessly.

Pushing Yu Linger into the room, she made her sit on the sofa. Helan Xiaoyue then took out the handcuffs and leg irons that had bound her, handing them to Yu Linger, “Be good, cuff yourself.”

“Move slowly, or be careful with your face.”

Helan Xiaoyue threatened with a cold laugh.

Yu Linger’s body trembled, feeling as if Helan Xiaoyue could see right through her.

Yu Linger had initially planned to resist, to snap the handcuffs on Helan Xiaoyue’s wrists, but after Helan Xiaoyue called her out, she dared not make a move.

She could only obediently follow Helan Xiaoyue’s instructions, cuffing her own wrists.

Under Helan Xiaoyue’s watchful eye, Yu Linger locked the leg irons and looked up at Helan Xiaoyue.

Yu Linger’s face was streaked with tears. She trembled as she spoke, “Sister Helan, you should run. Sister Xiaocao will be back soon, and once she gets here, you won’t be able to escape.”

Yu Linger tried to intimidate Helan Xiaoyue, urging her to run away and stop hurting her.

Helan Xiaoyue chuckled coldly, “What can Fang Xiaocao do once she returns? Before she gets back, everyone in this estate has to die.”

Helan Xiaoyue’s words sent a shiver down Yu Linger’s spine; she realized she was going to die today.

Thump, thump, thump–
At that moment, there was a knock on Yu Linger’s door again.

“Sister, what were you just yelling about?”

“Why did I hear a chair knock over and the sound of a glass breaking?”

“Are you alright? Open the door!”

Yu Tianqi’s voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Yu Tianqi’s voice, Yu Linger’s eyes flashed with urgency and worry.

Helan Xiaoyue’s eyes, however, lit up.

She showed a look of surprise.

“Let your brother in!”

“Don’t try any tricks, or you will die a painful death. Sister will break your limbs, scratch your face, sever your arteries, and make you watch your own blood drain out.”

Helan Xiaoyue whispered into Yu Linger’s ear, threatening her.

Listening to the terrifying scenario described by Helan Xiaoyue, Yu Linger shuddered with horror and nodded repeatedly, signaling she dared not.

Helan Xiaoyue was very pleased with Yu Linger’s reaction, but she failed to notice the fleeting look of determination that crossed Yu Linger’s large eyes.

Before Yu Linger’s eyes, she saw flashbacks of the times spent with her brother, every adventure they had been on, he had protected her. This time, it was her turn to protect her brother…

Even if it was just once!

As long as her brother could survive, as long as fewer innocent lives were lost, she was willing!

Helan Xiaoyue slowly let go of the hand covering Yu Linger’s mouth, seeing Yu Linger’s unexpectedly calm demeanor, without trying to scream or shout, and smiled contentedly.

This sense of control was immensely satisfying for her vanity.

Helan Xiaoyue felt utterly delighted.

“Speak!”

Helan Xiaoyue pressed the shard of glass against Yu Linger’s neck.
