Chapter 69: 069, there’s even better to come (third watch)

Ye Jiuliang couldn’t care less to elaborate and threw the dagger onto the table.

"Thud—"

In the bright light, the cobra impaled by the dagger was covered with bloodstains, leaving everyone agape and rooted to the spot.

Aren swallowed hard, realizing that things were getting serious.

He looked up at Ye Jiuliang, the chill in the young girl’s eyes piercing him to the bone, "Miss Jiuliang, what is this...?"

"Tap tap tap—"

Multiple sets of footsteps intermingled, chaotic and rushed.

The Ye Family’s patriarch and his group hurried down from upstairs; everyone was dressed in pajamas, seemingly disturbed by the loud noise and rushing out to check what had happened.

Aren turned to his bodyguards and said, "You go down first."

"Yes."

The bodyguards exited in an orderly fashion, coming and going in a hurry.

"What’s going on here?" The Ye Family’s patriarch drew his coat around him and said with a stern face as he surveyed the mess all over the floor.

Ye Xin looked at the cobra on the table, her face turned pale in fright, "Who threw this here?"

The rest also changed their expressions upon looking.

Even though the snake’s body was stiff and lifeless, it was still terrifying to look at.

Ye Miao’s eyes flickered, and her fingertips involuntarily curled.

Aren stepped over the debris on the floor, walked to the Ye Family patriarch’s side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, the Ye Family patriarch raised his eyes to the person sitting quietly on the sofa, "Jiuliang, what’s with the snake, and why aren’t you in your room resting at this hour?"

"What’s going on?" Ye Jiuliang, with her legs crossed, a cold smile playing on her crimson lips, said, "That’s what someone else should be asked, don’t you think?"

"Ye Jiuliang, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don’t be here spouting your sarcasm," Ye Xin snapped angrily.

The others looked on, equally perplexed.

Ye Jiuliang picked up the remote control from the table and pressed it lightly; the television screen suddenly lit up, then she took out her phone unhurriedly.

Ye Yan watched Ye Jiuliang’s actions, his gaze suddenly turning dark and sinister. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Please open your eyes wide and watch this carefully," she said coldly, her voice tinged with menace.

In the next moment, a video popped up on the TV screen.

Everyone followed the noise to the screen, where a tall figure stealthily entered Ye Jiuliang’s room in the video.

Dressed in all black, with a mask covering the face, the person’s identity was utterly obscured, although the outline of the figure indicated a man.

The audience showed astonishment, and among them, the Ye Family patriarch’s face turned ashen, his eyes widened as if he was forcefully holding back his anger.

In the video, the man in black carried two burlap sacks, quickly moving to the French windows,

and carelessly threw the sacks onto the ground.

Then, he took out a dagger, sliced open the sacks, and dumped out their contents all at once.

When everyone saw what was dumped out of the sacks, their faces turned to shock.

The air around them seemed almost to twist.

The atmosphere was oppressive, heavy.

"Heh!"

A cold laugh, laced with a touch of sarcasm.

Ye Jiuliang swept her gaze over them coolly, "Don’t be too surprised, there’s more to come that’s even better to watch."

As the words fell, the video on the screen suddenly changed.

A doll in a white long dress floated past the window, with its disheveled long hair, fierce face, and the bloodstains on its body, startling everyone abruptly.

Ye Xin’s face turned slightly pale, and she rubbed her arms, unconsciously blaming Ye Jiuliang in her heart for showing them such things late at night, clearly intending to keep them from sleeping.

"Aren, what on earth is going on, and what are those bodyguards doing?" the old master Ye roared furiously.

"Go and find out for me immediately, I want to know who is playing tricks at this hour of the night?"

Daring to cause such trouble in the Ye Family, they really must have the audacity of bears and leopards.

"Yes," Aren nodded solemnly.

Just as he was about to leave, Ye Jiuliang spoke up in a cold voice, "No need to check."

She suddenly stood up, and not far away, Ye Miao’s eyes tightened.

"There’s another video, why don’t we all watch it together?" Ye Jiuliang toyed with her cell phone, speaking indifferently.

Before she had finished speaking, the scene on the screen changed again.

It was the Bamboo Forest behind the pavilion.

One of them, dressed in black clothing and pants, had a tall figure that matched the shadow in the first video.

Aren recognized the person at a glance; it was Abiao, the guard at the front gate.

He glanced at the old master Ye and then quietly stepped out.

"Master Miao, this isn’t right, is it?"

"Do what you’re told. Your family is still waiting for money, aren’t they? Handle this matter well for me, and you won’t have to worry about money anymore. Besides, I’m not asking you to kill or set anything on fire, just to scare that stinky girl, Ye Jiuliang."

Because of the angle of the camera, the person standing opposite Abiao wasn’t captured, but from the voice alone, one could tell who was speaking.

Ye Lei looked at Ye Miao in astonishment, "Amiao, you..."

"No, it wasn’t me." Confronted with everyone’s surprised gaze, Ye Miao panicked, his mind went blank.

How could this be? His plan was supposed to be flawless.

Why were there still videos?

It’s impossible.

"Mom, it wasn’t me. It’s Ye Jiuliang framing me, I didn’t do it," Ye Miao rushed to Ye Yu’s side, clenching her hand, his tone shrill.

Ye Yu’s complexion wasn’t looking good either, casting a glance at the old master Ye’s grim face while pondering, she finally steeled her heart.

She raised her hand and slapped Ye Miao with some force.

"Slap––"

The surroundings went dead silent.

A burning pain spread across his cheek, and as Ye Miao came back to his senses, he looked incredulously at his own mother.

She had never hit him since he was a child.

And now, in front of so many people, he felt somewhat embarrassed, his voice hoarse, "Mom, don’t you believe me?"

"Amiao, you’ve disappointed me greatly," Ye Yu said with a stern face, her expression sorrowful, "When you do something wrong, you need to admit it. Go and apologize to Jiuliang right now."

Ye Miao stubbornly insisted, "I already said it wasn’t me, why won’t you believe me?"

However, the evidence was there for all to see, and nobody present was a fool.

At this moment, Aren returned, "Old Master, I’ve brought the person."

When Ye Miao turned to look and saw the person following behind Aren, his face turned ashen, and he took a step back.
