Chapter 341 Ning An Ru Meng: You Yue is no longer stupid (45)

"What?" Lü Xian tensed up.

Fear is something he finds very difficult to overcome.

He truly liked Fangying; he liked her simplicity, persistence, seriousness, and even her stubbornness.

Whether it's doing business or being a person.

He had inquired about her past. A silly girl who was bullied so much by her stepmother and stepsister that she couldn't even get enough to eat, actually accepted the nonsense of reforming herself so easily and became devoted to her stepsister who had bullied her to death.

Is her brain really not made of tofu dregs?

If You Yue was just playing a trick on her, one can imagine how difficult her life would be.

But it must be said, she dared to gamble, and she won!

She's definitely born to be a businesswoman, and her growth during this period has indeed proven this talent.

Lu Xian admitted that he had been unknowingly attracted to her. He had thought that he would never be blinded by a woman in his life, but now he was willing to take all his wealth and nervously went to her door.

“Okay, just tell me. If I can’t do it… no, I definitely can, even if it costs me my life!” Lü Xian made up his mind and spoke with unwavering determination.

Chu Yuan shook her head. "Don't say such stupid things. What I want is for you to treat Fang Ying well. What use is your life to me? On the contrary, you should always be thinking about protecting your own life. Otherwise, how can you protect Fang Ying if you die?"

"Second Sister's reprimand is well-deserved, Lü Xian will remember it!"

That guy really knows how to take advantage of a situation.

That's how she got called "Second Sister"!

Chu Yuan pursed her lips, ignoring these unimportant things, and said in a deep voice, "There is someone who is a calamity for Fang Ying and will threaten her life. What I want you to do is very simple: kill this person."

Defeating Zhou Yanzhi is not difficult. Whether Chu Yuan asks Yan Ling or Xie Wei for help, it would be an easy task. Entrusting it to Lü Xian is merely a test of his sincerity towards Fang Ying.

Furthermore, as a scholar, he is physically weak; does he really have the ability to take care of Fangying?

Otherwise, she wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting Fangying to him.

Upon hearing this, Lü Xian's already tense expression became even more panicked, "Kill...kill people?"

It wasn't the matter of killing out of shock; having followed Xie Wei for several years, he had witnessed many of Xie Wei's ruthless acts.

Sometimes I even have to help with the cleanup of the sword book and the zither, no longer as timid and conflicted as when I first started.

What surprised him was the calm and resolute way You Yue said "kill," as if it were not a bad thing, but as ordinary as dressing, eating, or shopping.

Are you scared? Don't you want to?

You Yue's beautiful eyes shot towards him with a sharp glint in them.

Lu Xian suddenly felt his heart beat faster and he felt weak. He quickly nodded and shook his head, "No, no, if you don't tell me clearly who I need to kill, I can't judge whether I can kill them or not."

They neither agreed nor refused outright, but rather assessed the other party's strength before making a decision.

Chu Yuan thought he was really smart and had a bit of cleverness, no wonder Xie Wei took a liking to him and recruited him.

Nodding, he said, "You know this person, Zhou Yanzhi. He was originally Jiang Xuening's man, but later he relied on Jiang Xuening to work for Jiang Boyou, and then entered the Ministry of Revenue through Jiang Boyou. He worked his way up step by step to his current position as the commander of Xingwu Guard. He is cunning, meticulous, and two-faced. On one hand, he uses information about the Yan family to curry favor with the Duke of Dingguo, and on the other hand, he pretends to surrender to Yan Ling and Xie Wei. Don't you think such a person is terrifying?"

"Once Yan Ling and I leave, only Xie Wei in the capital can rival the Duke of Dingguo. With him caught in the middle, any mischief he does could pose a great threat to Xie Wei."

Moreover, I heard that Prince Dayue is already on his way to Gan. They intend to arrange a marriage alliance. The royal family only has one Princess Leyang. Once the marriage alliance is agreed upon, Xie Wei will most likely leave the capital to escort her. Once he leaves, Duke Dingguo will not let go of this good opportunity to suppress Xie Wei's power!

Zhou Yanzhi may seem to be on our side, but in reality, he doesn't trust anyone. He only cares about his own interests. Unfortunately, he is skilled in martial arts and acts despicably, resorting to any means necessary. If he can't find fault with you, he will try to kidnap the people you care about.

"Think about it, if he captured Fangying and used her life to coerce you, wouldn't you give in?"

Chu Yuan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was like a warning bell, slowly and gently striking the depths of Lü Xian's mind, achieving the effect of a sudden awakening!

He suddenly stood up, instinctively about to leave, but after taking two steps he couldn't help but turn back. "Second sister, this sounds more like your prediction and guess, doesn't it?"

It's just killing Zhou Yanzhi. You don't need to explain so much. I believe Fangying, Fangying believes you, and naturally I believe you too.

But do you really have the ability to predict the future, as people say?
