Chapter 1331: Chapter 1331: A Kiss Seals Eternity (4)

“She indeed had a fragile life,” Ye Qilan echoed with a laugh, “To celebrate my realization of this matter, I plan to host a small family banquet and invite some guests over. Now that Su Hongxing is dead, I must look for a new beginning, right?”

Ye Lao found Ye Qilan’s words somewhat odd, and the other Ye Family members also thought Ye Qilan’s expression was inscrutable when he spoke this, yet no one dared to contradict him.

After all, Ye Qilan was mentally unstable, so everyone had to tread carefully around him.

When Ye Qilan said he was looking for a new beginning, everyone was more than eager.

Ye Qilan took this matter very seriously; he personally wrote the invitations, inviting only a few people – business partners and friends who had been closely associated with him in the past two years.

The first person he invited was of course Wen Beibei, along with others who appeared at the party that evening.

Without Wen Beibei’s invitation, Su Hongxing would not have appeared at the bar, would not have met Beichuan, and would not have been assaulted by Beichuan;

The second person to be invited was naturally Beichuan himself. If not for Beichuan’s forceful advances on Su Hongxing, how could she have been photographed in an indecent situation? What followed was him foolishly divorcing Su Hongxing because of it.

The third person he intended to invite was Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji was Su Hongxing’s childhood sweetheart and still had lingering feelings for her. He also had a motive to split them up, so he must be invited.

The fourth invitee was naturally Cao Shiyu. This woman, who was involved with him in the so-called compromising photos, was a major suspect and must be invited.

Also, Ye Zheng and his wife, who were plotting against the Ye Family, keeping him so busy that he had no time to be with Su Hongxing, had to be invited as well.

On the day of the banquet, not many attended, but everyone was acquainted. That night, every member of the Ye Family was present, including the servants and the Gardener, with none absent.

Initially, everything was fine, lively, with singing and dancing, laughter and joy, a scene of prosperity.

It was unclear who first noticed something was amiss, their body becoming powerless, listlessly collapsing to the ground, followed by more and more people dropping.

When Ye Qilan came downstairs holding Su Hongxing’s corpse, everyone had already been subdued by the drug, unable to move.

“Sisi, what are you trying to do?!” Beichuan asked weakly, confronting Ye Qilan.

“Beichuan, do you remember that night you tried to make a move on my wife? Because of your misconduct, she was photographed in an indecent situation while you assaulted her. Someone used those photos to blackmail me, forcing me to divorce her. So, you are the root cause of all this. What do you think I want to do? All of you present here are suspects. I don’t know who among you participated in these deeds, but I will not let anyone with a suspicion go, including all present members of the Ye Family. Don’t think I don’t know, when I was not at home, many of you were slandering my wife behind my back, showing her hostility,” Ye Qilan said, sitting down while holding Su Hongxing.

Ye Lao watched Ye Qilan in disbelief: “Sisi, what on earth do you want to do? Have you gone mad…”

“And you!” Ye Qilan turned towards Ye Lao: “Everyone dared to show hostility to my wife because you tolerated it. You’ve always looked down on her background. Now that she’s dead, you’re probably the happiest, aren’t you? You care about the Ye Family the most, right? Very well, today I will ensure the Ye Family has no descendants left, not a single one!”

Ye Lao couldn’t believe these words came from Ye Qilan; to think he actually planned to kill everyone present for one woman?
