Chapter 1542: Chapter 1542: A Heroic Sacrifice Once More

“So all of this was just a setup, hahahaha~ Fourth Master, I hope you won’t regret the choice you made today.” The man directly slit his throat with the dagger in his hand.

“He actually killed himself?” Jian Dan buried her head in Chu Liyuan’s chest and said.

“It seems he’s trying to protect the people behind him.” Chu Liyuan placed his hand on Jian Dan’s head.

“Heh, does he think that by dying, I won’t be able to find out who’s behind him? Too naive.” Qiu Zimo said coldly.

“Zimo, do you already know who it is?”

“Actually, I’ve known for a long time, but I don’t have concrete evidence.” Qiu Zimo shifted her gaze to Si Chengze.

“I knew it–nothing can escape your eyes.” Si Chengze held his chest with one hand, speaking with difficulty. “You’ve known my identity all along, haven’t you?”

Qiu Zimo didn’t answer his question and simply stared at him coldly.

“As I thought, I should have realized sooner. You’ve orchestrated such a grand setup–all because of me. You knew from the start that I’m the one.” Si Chengze looked at Qiu Zimo with a mocking smile.

“Leave!” Qiu Zimo said coldly.

Jian Dan looked at Qiu Zimo with surprise.

This was the first time Jian Dan had seen someone provoking Qiu Zimo and still being allowed to walk away alive.

“Leave? There’s no way I can leave anymore.”

“Are you dumb? She’s letting you go, and you don’t leave? You’ve been around Zimo long enough to understand how she handles things. You should thank your lucky stars and get out of here quickly,” Jian Dan reminded.

“I’m not leaving,” Si Chengze said, his gaze fixed on Qiu Zimo.

“You’re really not afraid of dying?”

“If I have to leave, I’d rather die by Zimo’s hand.” Si Chengze walked up to Qiu Zimo, took a handgun from her waist, placed it into her hand, and then pressed it to his own head.

“Zimo, if you really want me to leave, then kill me.” He closed his eyes slowly as he spoke.

“Jian Jian, let’s go.” Chu Liyuan wrapped his arm around Jian Dan’s waist and prepared to leave.

“But…” Jian Dan raised her hand and pointed at Qiu Zimo and Si Chengze.

“Let’s go!” Chu Liyuan pulled Jian Dan away without offering any explanation.

Back in the car.

“Uncle, is it really okay for us to just leave like that?” she asked once they got into the car.

“Jian Jian, some things need to be resolved by themselves.”

“Huh?” Jian Dan was confused again.

“Jian Jian, what you should be thinking about now is this.” Chu Liyuan reached into the back seat, pulled out a bag, and handed it to Jian Dan.

“What’s this? Is it a gift from Uncle?” Jian Dan reached in and pulled out the contents.

The moment she took it out, her eyes widened several times over.

Inside was a set of sexy lace lingerie.

“Uncle, what is this?”

“Jian Jian doesn’t know?” Chu Liyuan asked teasingly.

“Uncle, why did you suddenly buy this?” Jian Dan’s face instantly turned red.

“Can’t Jian Jian guess?”

“Huh?”

Chu Liyuan didn’t say another word and stepped on the gas, speeding all the way back to Li Garden.

Once there, Jian Dan was carried over Chu Liyuan’s shoulder again, all the way back to the bedroom.

Not a single person was seen along the way, even though it was clearly still early.

Unbeknownst to Jian Dan, Chu Liyuan had already made arrangements beforehand. The four little ones, feeling guilty over the misunderstanding they’d caused Chu Liyuan last time, were quietly staying in their rooms, cooperating without complaint.

That night, the lingerie was indeed sacrificed in rather dramatic fashion.
