I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded

Chapter 218 Lotus Tower (44)

"Stop her?" Yu Hongzhu's voice trembled, her beautiful eyes wide open, as if she wanted to devour Zong Zheng Mingzhu alive. "Stop her from what?"

Zong Zheng Mingzhu's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a heavy sigh.

He slowly lowered his head, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible: "I... I just wanted to stop her... I didn't expect to hurt her..."

His words were full of regret and self-blame, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

"That day... Qiu Shuang secretly followed me to the back mountain..." Zong Zheng Mingzhu's voice trembled, as if he had returned to that night that made him regretful.

His eyes became empty, as if he was lost in a vortex of memories. "She...she discovered the secret between Yu Hongzhu and me..."

Yu Hongzhu's body trembled violently, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

"She followed all the way to Yu Hongzhu's room..." Zong Zheng Mingzhu continued, his voice getting lower and lower.

"That day... we were arguing... we talked about a lot of things... things we could say... things we couldn't say... we said it all..." His tone was full of helplessness and bitterness, as if those words were scars in his heart that could never be erased.

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid Qiu Shuang will reveal our secret..." A trace of fear flashed in Zong Zheng Mingzhu's eyes.

"I... I took the opportunity to slap her..." His voice became increasingly quiet, almost inaudible. "I really didn't expect... that slap would hurt her so badly..."

Yu Hongzhu's tears welled up in her eyes and she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.

Her body kept shaking, as if she would collapse at any moment.

"The second young lady...she felt that her sister and her fiancé were deceiving her..." Li Xiangyi said, "so she went to find Yun Jiao...unexpectedly...she caught Yun Jiao and Yu Mulan in their good plans..." His tone was full of helplessness and regret, as if he felt sad for Yu Qiu Shuang's fate.

"Yu Mulan... he... he killed her with a golden needle..." Yun Jiao's voice became hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat. "I... I wanted to stop it... but... it was too late..."

Li Xiangyi listened quietly, his eyes deep and complex.

He looked at Yu Hongzhu and said in a calm and cold voice, "Originally, Yu Qiushuang could have survived, but you guys killed her."

He turned to Yun Jiao again, his eyes filled with pity and regret: "The Second Miss came to you for help, but she was killed by you. You can only imagine how desperate she was at that time."

Yun Jiao's body trembled violently. She raised her head, tears already blurring her vision. She looked at Li Xiangyi, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

"Assholes, I'm going to kill you!" Yu Hongzhu suddenly let out a shrill roar, her eyes filled with madness and hatred, "I want revenge for Qiu Shuang!"

However, she never mentioned Zong Zheng Mingzhu, as if this person had never existed.

"Madam Yu, calm down!" Fang Duobing saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop them. "Although they are guilty, they should be handed over to Baichuan Court for punishment!"

"This is Yucheng's family affair. It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere!"

Yu Hongzhu pushed Fang Duobing away, her eyes filled with disdain and contempt, "Get out of here!"

"Although Yu Qiushuang is from Yucheng, she is also a living being!" Fang Duobing did not give in. He straightened his body and looked at Yu Hongzhu with a firm gaze. "The three of them are the murderers of Yu Qiushuang, and you took human life lightly, used lynching and killed the guards. You must also go to Baichuan Court to stand trial!"

"Just you?" Yu Hongzhu sneered, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain. "Who do you think you are? What can you do to me?"

After that, she started fighting with Fang Duobing. Yu Hongzhu's martial arts skills were extremely high, and her moves were ruthless, each of them aimed directly at Fang Duobing's vital points.

Although Fang Duobing is young, he is also a veteran of many battles. He is not afraid at all. He can counter every move of Yu Hongzhu and fights her to a draw.

At that moment, the escort agents from the escort agency arrived to support them. Each of them was agile and well-trained, and they quickly joined the battle. For a moment, the courtyard was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.

However, Yu Hongzhu and Zong Zheng Mingzhu were outnumbered, and Fang Duobing and the others gradually fell into a disadvantage. Just as they were about to be defeated, suddenly, a clear voice rang out: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Miss Shi Shui from Baichuan Court and Yang Yunchun from the Supervisory Department standing at the door. Behind them, there was a group of experts from Baichuan Court and the Supervisory Department.

"Miss Shishui, Lord Yang, why are you here?" Fang Duobing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the newcomers.

"We received news that a murder had occurred here, so we came here to take a look." Shi Shui's voice was cold and majestic. "I didn't expect that it was someone from Yucheng who did it."

"Take them all away!" Yang Yunchun gave an order, and the masters from Baichuan Academy and the Supervisory Department immediately stepped forward and subdued Yu Hongzhu, Zong Zheng Mingzhu, Yun Jiao, Yu Mulan and others one by one.

"You can't catch me!" Yu Hongzhu was still struggling desperately, but her resistance seemed so pale and powerless in front of the masters of Baichuanyuan and the Supervisory Department.

"Madam Yu, you are suspected of multiple crimes including murder and lynching. Please come with us." Shi Shui's voice was cold and ruthless, as if announcing an ending that had already been predetermined.

Li Xiangyi looked at everything in front of him, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He didn't want to meet Shi, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and quietly slipped back to his room.

In the room, Qiao Wanwan was sitting at the table, quietly waiting for him, her eyes gentle and concerned, as if she could see through everything about him.

"You're back." Qiao Wanwan said softly, her voice full of tenderness and care.

"Yeah." Li Xiangyi nodded and walked over to sit next to Qiao Wanwan. He gently held Qiao Wanwan's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm.

"Are all the issues resolved?" Qiao Wanwan asked, her eyes full of concern and worry.

"It's all resolved." Li Xiangyi said softly, "The murderer of Yu Qiushuang has finally been found."

"But..." Li Xiangyi hesitated to speak, frowning slightly.

"Just what?" Qiao Wanwan raised her head and asked with concern.

"However, although Yu Qiushuang's case has been solved, there is still no clue about the Golden Yuan League." Li Xiangyi sighed, a trace of worry in his eyes.
