Chapter 156: Kill Her!

Su Ziyan remained stunned for a moment before the corners of her lips curled up into a triumphant smile. She looked at Lin Feng with a gaze that carried a faint sense of possessiveness.

"Ah-Feng, are they your friends?"

With these words, she directly ignored Chu Yunran and Chu Lengshuang.

Although Chu Lengshuang maintained her usual cold and haughty expression, Chu Yunran was visibly growing anxious.

All three women turned their attention to Lin Feng, each harboring their own hidden thoughts.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Glancing briefly at Chu Lengshuang and then at the anxious Chu Yunran, Lin Feng's heart sank. He gave a vague, perfunctory response, "You could say that."

His relationship with Chu Lengshuang was not something that could be explained in a sentence or two.

Right now, what concerned him most was the story of how Su Ziyan had once saved his life.

If a person could not even figure out their own origins, they would ultimately live with regrets, no matter how much they achieved.

"You could say that?! How can you just call it that! You and my sister, you guys..."

Catching sight of her older sister's unshakable, composed demeanor, Chu Yunran grew frantic. She was on the verge of blurting out all the crazy things the two of them had done together!

However, Chu Lengshuang's freezing voice cut through the air abruptly!

"Ranran!"

Chu Yunran shuddered involuntarily and instinctively looked at her sister.

With a cold huff, Chu Lengshuang suddenly stood up. After casting a deep, lingering look at Lin Feng, she dropped a command, "Come home with me!"

It was unmistakably an order.

Chu Yunran hastily protested, "Sis, how can we go home at a critical moment like this? Didn't you prepare a gift for Brother Lin..."

"Chu Yunran!"

Before she could finish, Chu Lengshuang's murderous voice rang out once more!

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll banish you to Indonesia!"

She glared fiercely at Chu Yunran before shifting her gaze back to Lin Feng, her look bone-chilling.

Seeing the murderous intent in her sister's eyes, Chu Yunran was forced to shut her mouth awkwardly. Yet, as usual, she kept a worried eye on both Lin Feng and Chu Lengshuang.

This was no laughing matter. If Lin Feng were really snatched away by Su Ziyan, not only would her sister lose her mind, but she herself would be completely done for!

Chu Yunran could already vividly imagine the gloomy, thunderous expression her sister would wear every single day if Lin Feng left her...

Gritting her teeth, she walked step by step to Chu Lengshuang's side. After all, with outsiders present, she dared not speak out again.

Meanwhile, standing in the corner, Lin Feng was momentarily taken aback.

A gift?!

His brow arched. Everyone attending the banquet had prepared gifts for him, though most were merely collectible paintings or similar items—valuable, perhaps, but rarely exceptionally so.

By comparison, this was something entirely detached from the influence of the Chu family, and he genuinely found himself curious about what kind of gift Chu Lengshuang had prepared.

However...

"Ah-Feng, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to the terrace."

Su Ziyan tenderly placed her hand on Lin Feng's arm, gazing at him with infatuation.

The sudden contact caused Lin Feng's body to tense. Reflexively, he pulled his arm back, nodded in silence, and then stood up, glancing at Chu Lengshuang before heading toward the elevator lobby.

Noticing Lin Feng's distant and aloof reaction, a look of profound loneliness momentarily crossed Su Ziyan's face. Yet, as she watched him rise, her eyes burned with renewed fighting spirit.

Ignoring the two Chu sisters altogether, Lin Feng and Su Ziyan entered the elevator one after the other and headed up to the rooftop balcony.

Seeing the elevator doors close, Chu Yunran, who had been holding back a torrent of words, could no longer contain herself.

"Sis, are you just going to stand there and watch that woman take Brother Lin away?! This is so not your style!"

Normally, her sister showed no mercy to anyone who displeased her.

Especially when it came to someone her sister fancied!

Yet today, not only had that woman been all over Lin Feng with her hands, but the two of them had now gone up to the top floor for a private chat. If this development was allowed to continue, Brother Lin might genuinely be stolen away by that woman!

It was truly bizarre—why was her sister remaining so calm today?

"Sis, if you ask me, we should just..."

With a face full of indignation, Chu Yunran wanted to say more, but she caught sight of a sudden movement beside her. Her sister, who had just been about to leave, abruptly turned around and walked straight toward the elevator.

Startled for a second, Chu Yunran quickly came to her senses and trotted after her.

She knew her sister would never just let the two of them stay alone together! As it turned out, they were going to eavesdrop!

No, wait!

Eavesdrop? What kind of word was that!

It was practically common knowledge that Brother Lin was basically her future brother-in-law; what they were doing was investigating righteously!

As the servant pressed the elevator button and the doors opened, Chu Lengshuang stepped in first, with Chu Yunran following closely behind.

Before long, they too arrived at the top floor.

As the elevator doors slid open, the living room in front of them was completely empty.

Chu Yunran's expression stiffened as she blurted out anxiously, "Sis, don't tell me they went into one of the bedrooms?!"

Even before she uttered those words, upon seeing the vacant living room, Chu Lengshuang's complexion had already turned as dark as coal!

"Go find them!"

Squeezed out from between her clenched teeth, Chu Lengshuang's voice was restrained to its absolute limit!

"Got it, Sis, I'm on it!"

Chu Yunran hastily replied, dashing into the living room on quick steps to search every single room thoroughly from top to bottom!

She even flung open the storage room at the very back to take a look, only to find no trace of the two figures anywhere.

"No good, Sis, nobody's here!"

Beads of sweat rolled down Chu Yunran's face in her panic, and before she could even wipe them away, she hurried rushing back out.

At that exact moment, the rooftop terrace upstairs suddenly echoed with a soft, gentle laugh, followed by Lin Feng's cheerful voice.

"Hahaha, Ah-Feng, hearing you say that really makes me feel embarrassed!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just speaking the truth, your technique is genuinely impressive!"

"Really?!"

"Of course it's real, you're truly amazing!"

"......"

The back-and-forth conversation drifted lightly down into the ears of Chu Lengshuang and Chu Yunran.

The sudden drop in temperature rolling off Chu Lengshuang's body made Chu Yunran too terrified to even look her sister in the face.

With a grim expression, Chu Yunran clenched her small fists and muttered indignantly, "They have no shame at all! Running off to the rooftop in broad daylight and openly doing that kind of thing..."

Chu Lengshuang bit her lips tightly, her eyes bloodshot and blazing with terrifying malice.

With a morbid, hysterical madness, she whispered, "Kill her."

The voice sounded as though it had risen straight from the depths of hell. Turning deathly pale, Chu Yunran pleaded, "Sis, please calm down. This is the Lin family estate, we..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Lengshuang began striding purposefully toward the stairs with firm, hurried steps—

This was the Lin family estate!

The Chu family had made no prior preparations; if anything were to happen here, even they would find it difficult to escape safely.

Moreover, right at the front gates of the estate, dozens of media outlets were gathered. Once there was the slightest commotion inside the grounds, reporters would inevitably swarm in.

In such a fast-paced information age, even the Chu family would be powerless to suppress all the resulting public opinion.

Stomping her feet in despair and finding no other alternative, Chu Yunran could only hurry after her...
