Wang Xia and Li Juan simultaneously felt an ominous premonition rise within them.

Their premonition quickly proved prescient.

“The two of you will duel.

Whoever wins can leave this place.

Conversely, the loser will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks,” he said with an airy tone that nonetheless carried the scent of death.

Wang Xia and Li Juan both froze, disbelievingly widening their eyes.

“We, we have to duel?”

Especially Wang Xia, who covered the wound on her abdomen with a hand, her face filled with terror.

Lu Youting watched them with a smile on his face.

The answer was self-evident.

Wang Xia and Li Juan shook their heads simultaneously: “No, we are the best of sisters, having shared weal and woe for twenty years.

We absolutely will not turn against each other!

Don’t even think you can sow discord between us.”

“You have ten minutes.

If you can’t decide the winner by then, you’ll both be shark food,” Lu Youting said, no longer wasting time.

He stood up and left, elegantly adjusting his cuffs.

Wang Xia roared in protest: “This is unfair!

We haven’t hurt Jian Si at all.

Why should our lives be at stake?”

Li Juan echoed: “Exactly!

It’s us who have been injured, why should we be brought here?

We bear no grudge against Jian Si, we were just doing a paid job.”

Unfortunately, Lu Youting did not respond to their objections.

With a “bang,” the iron door to the basement slammed shut.

In the dark and damp basement, only Wang Xia and Li Juan were left, with the dim lighting flickering unsteadily due to an unstable voltage, making a sizzling sound.

Wang Xia and Li Juan looked at each other, neither making a move.

Fearing that Li Juan would act first, Wang Xia forced a smile: “We’ve been close sisters since we were young, and I definitely won’t raise a hand against you for self-preservation.

If we’re going to live, we’ll live together; if we’re going to die, we’ll die together.”

Afraid the other wouldn’t agree, she also asked, “Right?”

Li Juan nodded with a smile: “Yes, even if we die together, we definitely can’t turn on each other, we certainly can’t let Lu Youting’s scheme succeed.”

“Right, right, right!” Wang Xia nodded incessantly, tilting her head to look elsewhere.

Li Juan also tilted her head away.

A second of silence.

The smiles on their faces gradually faded, their expressions becoming fierce.

Suddenly, Wang Xia grabbed a chair while Li Juan snatched up a stick from the ground, swiftly striking at each other.

Seeing the stick in Li Juan’s hand, Wang Xia scoffed: “Weren’t we good sisters?

Didn’t we say we couldn’t turn on each other?

Ha…”

Li Juan fiercely retorted: “You also said we’d live and die together, didn’t you?

What happened to being good sisters?

Bullshit…”

Wang Xia snorted coldly: “Every man for himself; I want to survive!”

“So do I!”

“Is that so?

Well, let’s see which one of us can walk out of here alive today!” With those words, Wang Xia viciously kicked Li Juan in the abdomen.

Li Juan stumbled backwards two steps from the blow, breaking out into a cold sweat from pain.

Wang Xia pressed her advantage, raising the chair in her hand, smashing it towards Li Juan.

Li Juan was quick to react, blocking with the stick, then tackled Wang Xia to the ground, her knee deliberately pressing onto her wound—

The two fought entwined on the floor, sparing no quarter, each blow vicious, wishing nothing less than death upon the other.

The sounds of smashing, roaring, and cries of pain reverberated in turns.

Lu Youting stood outside the iron door, mocking the thrilling scene through the vent above the door.

Good sisters?

Shared blessings and common hardships?

United through life and death.

People are selfish.

At the brink of life and death, in order to survive, they’ll do anything.

Wang Xia had suffered injuries to her abdomen, and in no time at all, Li Juan had beaten her to the point of being unable to fight back.

Thinking that she would soon be able to leave this place, she appeared exceptionally relaxed.

When Lu Youting entered, she presented her victory as if offering a treasure, “Director Lu, look, I won.

Can I leave now?”

Lu Youting disdainfully glanced at her and said to a bodyguard on the side, “Throw them both into the sea.”

Li Juan was stunned, “Why?

You just said that the person who wins could leave.”

Lu Youting said expressionlessly, “In my life, I detest fratricide the most.

If you had both persevered just now, I might have let you all go.

Of all the things you shouldn’t have done, you shouldn’t have betrayed your promise—to try to survive by sending the other to death.”

Li Juan collapsed.

Despair filled her eyes.

The hope that had ignited with difficulty had shattered, plunging her once again into despair.

The bodyguard received Lu Youting’s order and dragged the two away.

Not long after dealing with the three of them, Zhao Qingyang was brought in.

Lu Youting had him taken directly to the hidden compartment where Liu Tao was dealt with.

Zhao Qingyang’s face was covered, unable to see clearly inside, the rich smell of blood and the unknown fear stimulated every nerve in his body.

“I am Deputy Director Zhao.

Who are you?

How dare you tie me up and bring me here?

Do you know that holding an official hostage is a serious crime, punishable by imprisonment?”

Lu Youting signaled the bodyguard to remove his blindfold.

Gaining light, Zhao Qingyang immediately saw Liu Tao lying in a pool of blood, his life and death uncertain, and was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He forced himself to calm down and looked toward Lu Youting, hidden in the shadows.

“Did you do this to Liu Tao?

This is a society ruled by law.

How dare you treat government officials like this?

Aren’t you afraid of going to prison?”

Lu Youting’s thin lips curved slightly as he slowly emerged from the darkness.

As his appearance became clearer, Zhao Qingyang’s pupils dilated bit by bit.

When Lu Youting was fully exposed in front of him, he was so frightened that he completely collapsed to the ground.

“Director…

Director Lu!”

“Who instructed you to go after Jian Si?” Lu Youting looked down at him from above, his dark eyes icy, sending chills down the man’s spine.

“I…

I…” Zhao Qingyang stuttered, still thinking about how to answer when his palm suddenly touched a sticky liquid.

Opening his hand, he saw it was covered in fresh blood, which scared him too much to lie, and he hurriedly said, “It was Miss Ye!”

“Ye Qingqing?”

Zhao Qingyang nodded frantically, “Yes, Miss Ye!

She, she called me, saying it was Director Lu who asked her to pass on a message to treat Miss Jian, who had just arrived at the guesthouse, quite well.

As she is your fiancée, I naturally didn’t doubt her words and instructed my godson Liu Tao to handle this matter.”

Lu Youting’s lips curled up in mockery.

Lu Youting walked over and kicked him viciously in the shoulder.

Zhao Qingyang fell to the ground, and as Lu Youting stepped on his face, he disdainfully dusted off his trousers and sneered down at him, “Do you really think I am that foolish?

So easily deceived?”

With his face pressed tightly against the bloodied ground, the smell of blood overwhelming his senses, Zhao Qingyang felt the urge to vomit.

“What I said is true!

It was Miss Ye who instructed me!”

Lu Youting’s handsome face was taut with cold fury, his eyes filled with indignation as he stared him down, not wasting words, “Was it really Ye Qingqing’s idea, or did you use my name?

You have one minute to think clearly.”

Seeing his lie pierced through, Zhao Qingyang’s forced calm crumbled instantly as he hurriedly said, “It was Miss Ye’s idea, not yours, Director Lu.”

Lu Youting’s lips played with a mirthless hint of amusement, “Hmm?”

Though it was just a brief sound, Zhao Qingyang read it loud and clear and rushed to explain, “Miss Ye said that as long as I helped ruin Miss Jian, she, she would find a way to get me promoted to Director.

As Miss Ye is Director Lu’s fiancée, I truly thought this was your instruction, I…

I didn’t know it was Miss Ye’s idea alone…”

Having obtained his answer, Lu Youting released Zhao Qingyang and without turning back, walked toward the door.

“Keep an eye on them, don’t let them out without my order.”

After dropping a light command, his figure completely disappeared in the darkness.

Ye Qingqing.

Very good.

Exceptionally good—

For years, she had played her role so convincingly.

She had been deceiving him all along.
