Pei Mingzhu’s words had just fallen when they exploded like a thunderclap in everyone’s ears!
Every face was filled with disbelief, and for a moment, the entire scene plunged into a deathly silence.
It turned out that the reason Yin Yixuan had been weak since childhood was because of Pei Mingzhu.
And now, even Yin Hanyu had been harmed by her…
Lan Si and Yin Haoting rushed toward Yin Hanyu almost simultaneously, like arrows released from their bows.
At this moment, both Lan Si and Yin Haoting had anxious expressions as they gazed at Yin Hanyu.
They opened their mouths slightly as if wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in their throats, unable to come out.
However, even without words, their concerned and tense gazes had already conveyed everything.
Pei Mingzhu, still basking in her triumph, continued speaking—Yin Hanyu was about to die.
Lin Qingyou’s eyes turned red, her gaze fierce as she glared at Pei Mingzhu. “You used me?”
Hearing this, Pei Mingzhu showed no trace of guilt. Instead, she threw her head back and let out a wild, arrogant laugh.
“You’re only realizing it now? Lin Qingyou, Lin Qingyou… I really should thank you!”
After pausing for a moment, Pei Mingzhu continued, “Since childhood, Yin Hanyu underwent inhuman, cruel training, turning him into a ruthless wild wolf. Dealing with him was never an easy task. But…”
Pei Mingzhu’s tone suddenly changed. “But fortunately, a fool like you exists. Because of you, I was able to easily shackle this fierce wild wolf!”
“Hahahaha… Hahahaha…”
As her laughter grew louder, Pei Mingzhu’s entire demeanor became even more frenzied. She was completely consumed by the pleasure of her successful scheme.
Her piercing laughter echoed through the air like a demonic chant, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
“Pei Mingzhu, after all the evil you’ve done… what exactly do you want?” Old Master Yin was beyond furious, his eyes bulging in rage, veins popping out as if they might burst.
His cane was gripped tightly in his hand, pounding the ground repeatedly with resounding “thud thud” sounds, his entire body trembling violently in anger.
Pei Mingzhu, however, merely smirked sinisterly as she took slow, deliberate steps toward Old Master Yin.
“What do I want? Revenge, of course…”
At this moment, the depths of Pei Mingzhu’s eyes burned with hatred, raging like a stormy sea. The immense loathing and near-maniacal emotions she harbored were enough to make anyone shudder.
“I want the Yin family to be buried alongside the Pei family!”
Pei Mingzhu gritted her teeth, her words seething with endless resentment.
“The Yin family mercilessly slaughtered my entire Pei clan! If I don’t avenge this blood feud, I am not fit to be human!”
“And now, it’s time for the Yin family to pay their debt!”
“You old bastard… I’ll start with you first!”
“What are you doing?!” Yin Haoyang leaped forward, spreading his arms wide to shield Old Master Yin.
He glared at Pei Mingzhu with fierce determination and barked, “Pei Mingzhu, you venomous, heartless woman! If you dare harm my father, I swear I’ll make sure you die without a burial place!”
Yet, Pei Mingzhu merely curled her lips into a disdainful smirk.
She replied coldly, “Yin Haoyang, do you think you can stop me? How naïve!”
“Let me tell you—it’s not just Yin Yixuan and Yin Hanyu whose lives are in my hands. With just a flick of my finger, they will perish instantly.”
“Even without them…” Pei Mingzhu continued smugly, “You still wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me.”
“We have been lying low for years—we are not weaklings!”
“Lying low for years?” Lan Si’s eyes locked onto Pei Mingzhu as he seemed to realize something. “So all these years, those missing young men and especially the infants across the country… that was all your doing?”
“So what if it was?”
“So what?!” Lan Si clenched his fists tightly. “Pei Mingzhu, after all these years, your Pei family still refuses to repent.”
“The destruction of the Pei family was a deserved fate!”
“Shut up!” Pei Mingzhu roared furiously. “I have no time to waste debating morality with you!”
“Besides, this world follows the law of the jungle—survival of the fittest.”
“Those who lack the ability to protect themselves are nothing more than prey, meant to be slaughtered!”
“They were weak… that’s their own fault!”
“Just like now—Yin Yixuan and Yin Hanyu, the Yin family’s last hope, are both in my hands. If I want them dead, they will die!”
At this point, Pei Mingzhu suddenly cast a mocking glance at Lan Si and Yin Haoting.
“That night, Yin Haoting wasn’t in his room… so the person in his bed was you, wasn’t it?”
Although phrased as a question, Pei Mingzhu’s tone made it clear she was certain.
Lan Si and Yin Haoting had always been close.
Lan Si even showed more respect toward Old Master Yin than Yin Haoting did.
After all, Old Master Yin was strict, while Lan Si was rebellious by nature—always defying authority.
One was overly controlling, while the other hated being controlled. Naturally, their relationship was strained.
Lan Si despised his father’s restrictions and discipline.
But Yin Haoting was different. He was an outstanding eldest son and an exceptional elder brother.
He always believed that by taking on more responsibilities himself, his younger siblings could live more freely.
Thus, he bore everything—shielded everything.
His younger brothers were not ungrateful. They cherished, respected, and admired him deeply.
Even though Lan Si was unruly, he would always listen to Yin Haoting.
Yet, Yin Haoting never used his position as the eldest brother to pressure Lan Si into anything he disliked.
Because of this, Lan Si sincerely respected and admired him, and often clung to him.
He would even use Yin Haoting as cover to sneak off to his office to slack off and nap.
“Lan Si, were you the one in that room that night?”
Pei Mingzhu frowned, but when she considered Lan Si’s current status as the President—someone even more powerful than Yin Haoting—she quickly accepted the possibility.
“So… Yi Feng is your son?”
“Pfft!”
Lan Si nearly gagged in disgust. “Are you insane?”
“What do you mean?” Pei Mingzhu’s arrogance instantly turned into rage. “Lan Si, what do you mean by that?!”
“What do I mean?” Lan Si’s disgust was written all over his face. “You? A vile woman like you? Just looking at you makes me feel filthy. You think I’d ever touch you?”
“You…”
“Besides, didn’t you see the DNA test results?” Lan Si pointed at the report.
“It clearly states that Leng Yifeng and my brother have no biological relation whatsoever. If Leng Yifeng were my son, he would have a genetic connection to my brother.”
