She had heard about Zhao Shuncheng’s shenanigans a long time ago, but she had never paid much attention to it. After all, they all knew what kind of person Zhao Shuncheng was. It was strange for him to fall prey to such an ailment.

However, not long after that, Zhao Youlin suddenly heard from the people in the company that the mistress that Zhao Shuncheng had previously kept was found out and seduced other people’s boyfriends and husbands. In the end, when she was on her own, she was splashed with sulfuric acid. Her face was definitely disfigured, and she didn’t even know if she survived.

When the two things were mixed together, Zhao Youlin finally realized something. Zhao Shuncheng had just been diagnosed with an illness, and his mistress had met with an accident. It didn’t seem like a coincidence, no matter how she looked at it.

When Zhao Youming and the others heard Zhao Youlin’s words, their hearts skipped a beat. After all, Zhao Shuncheng’s illness was not an ordinary illness. If that was really the case, this woman…

Zhao Youxi lowered her head. Her long bangs cast a shadow on her face, making her look a little gloomy.

“What if I say yes?” Zhao Youlin and the others felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the innocent look on Zhao Youxi’s face when she raised her head.

Zhao Youlin furrowed her brows and held it in for a long time before she finally said, “He’s your father.”

“He’s also your father.” Zhao Youxi refuted Zhao Youlin’s words bluntly and sneered, “He’s also your father. Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t acknowledge him?”

Zhao Youlin was speechless. She didn’t know what to say.

Zhao Youxi was not expecting any answer.

Zhao Youxi’s face darkened when she recalled the time when she went to ask Zhao Shuncheng for help regarding Li Hongyu’s matter. Zhao Shuncheng had held Sun Qian in his arms and showed her off before her face.

“That scumbag. When my mother was in prison, he was having fun with yet another woman. And that b*tch. She acted like a saint in front of me. She’s a piece of trash. Her legs lose their use when she sees a man. I treated her like a sister, but she went ahead and seduced my father. Heh, all these b*tches deserve to die horrible deaths!”

In the face of Zhao Youxi’s roar, Zhao Youlin and the others fell silent at the same time. They all knew that Zhao Shuncheng had raised another woman and had a child with that woman.

However, they didn’t expect that Zhao Youxi would sear this matter into her mind and even take revenge on them so ruthlessly.

“They deserve to die a horrible death… One of them is suffering from that disease, and the other is disfigured and dying. For them, this ending is even more painful than death!

“Alright, I’ve said what I should say. Even if you die now, you won’t have any further questions. So next…”

Zhao Youlin’s face changed when Zhao Youxi said that. She stared at Zhao Youxi’s hand that was holding the gun and realized that she was going to pull the trigger. She immediately exclaimed, “Wait, wait! I just said that we can’t blame the child for what happened between us. If you have any resentment, you can come at me. Don’t hurt the child. If possible, I’m willing. I’m willing to change places. You holding me hostage must be much more useful than holding a child hostage.”

As soon as Zhao Youlin said this, before Zhao Youxi could say anything, Mu Tingfeng and Han Yichen had already raised their objections.

“No, you’re pregnant now. How can you do such a dangerous thing?

“That’s right. What did you promise me before you came? How can I go back and explain to mom if something happens to you if you do such a dangerous thing?”

Zhao Youxi was also stunned by Zhao Youlin’s words for quite a while. When she came back to her senses… the first thing she did was to sneer. “Do you think I’m stupid? Of course, you’re more valuable than a child. But with your skills, do you think I stand any chance?”

Zhao Youlin’s face changed slightly. She once again realized that the woman in front of her was no longer the unruly, spoiled princess from a few years back. It was simply unrealistic to try to fool her with the same tricks as before.

Zhao Youxi looked at the helpless looks of the few of them and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “Moreover, do you think that I even planned to escape after doing all this?”

Zhao Youlin’s expression changed again when she heard this. Indeed, after so many things had happened, even if they let her go, the law would catch up to her.

Zhao Youxi had known this all along. From the get-go, she had been on a suicide mission. She was only here today to witness their pain.

Zhao Youlin bit her lip, her face slightly gloomy and at a loss. Her eyes were fixed on Joy in Zhao Youxi’s arms.

Joy seemed to have also felt the smell of gunpowder in the air and began to cry uneasily. “Mom… Mom… I want Mom!”

Joy’s sudden burst of crying not only stunned Zhao Youlin, but also startled Zhao Youxi, who was holding him tightly. She lowered her head and looked at Joy’s sad little face, which was red from crying. Her hand that was holding the gun suddenly became hesitant.

What was even more unexpected was that at this moment, Zhao Youming, who should have been lying on the ground because of the two shots just now, suddenly came out from behind Zhao Youxi, holding a shiny knife in his hand.

It turned out that he had been silent just now because he had been trying to retrieve the knife that Zhao Youlin had kicked to the side when no one was paying attention.

No one had expected Zhao Youming’s sudden counterattack. Zhao Youxi hurriedly jumped away, but she was still cut in the arm by the sharp blade.

Fortunately, Zhao Youming was already injured, and he had lost a lot of blood. Even if he had taken her by surprise, the wound on Zhao Youxi’s hand was not deep.

However, because of this, Zhao Youxi grunted in pain and let go of Joy.

Seeing this, Zhao Youlin and the others quickly rushed toward the child, wanting to take the opportunity to snatch the child away.

Unfortunately, they were too far away from the child. Even if they tried their best, they would not reach in time.

“Don’t come over!” Zhao Youming shouted angrily, causing the expressions of Zhao Youlin and the others to change slightly. They had no choice but to stop on the spot.

Joy, who was originally held in Zhao Youxi’s arms, returned to Zhao youming’s hands at that moment. Zhao Youming pointed his shiny knife at his neck.

“Don’t come any closer. Otherwise, I’ll kill this child!” Zhao Youming’s leg was still injured. It was slightly bent on the ground like that of an old man’s.
