Bang!
An antique vase was smashed to the ground by Gu Beichen with a furious force.
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. The glass reflected his bloodshot and vicious eyes.
The people he had arranged around Si Jingyi were all useless!
Just a short while ago, Si Jingyi still trusted Song Fei'er's words, willing to give her his heart. Why had he suddenly changed his temperament?
And Wen Yan, who had always fawned over him, obeying his every word.
That night, she was like a lunatic, stabbing her own abdomen three times in a row, scaring him half to death.
Gu Beichen disliked Jing Lan's children. He wanted to ruin them all.
As long as they were gone, the Si family would eventually fall into his hands.
What Gu Beichen feared most now was Si Moyan. Si Jingyi was brawny but simple-minded, not a significant threat for the time being.
Just as Gu Beichen was pondering how to deal with Si Moyan, his phone rang.
It was a call from the Xie family.
"Gu Beichen, you told me to drive up the bidding price for plot E30, saying Si Moyan would definitely compete for it. The bidding results are out today, and Si Moyan only bid ten thousand!"
"There's a problem with that land. Now our Xie Group has successfully won the bid for five billion. What do we do? If that land can't be developed, our group will suffer a massive loss!"
Gu Beichen's hand gripping the phone tightened abruptly.
How could this be?
He had a mole planted beside Si Moyan. The intelligence he received clearly stated that Si Moyan had prepared nearly six billion for the bid.
How could he only offer ten thousand?
Could it be that Si Moyan also discovered the ancient tomb beneath that land?
"Gu Beichen, you'd better give me an explanation."
Gu Beichen's face darkened. "President Xie, I will give you an explanation for this matter. Please give me some time."
After hanging up, Gu Beichen's eyes turned so red they seemed about to bleed.
Si Moyan had actually played him! He would take his life now!
Gu Beichen entered his bedroom, pressed a switch on the cabinet, and entered a secret room.
The room was eerie, housing a "Guzai Tong" bronze statue, cast from copper and invited from abroad.
Fresh offerings and incense candles were placed beside the sealed jar.
Gu Beichen picked up a fruit knife, closed his eyes, and slashed it hard across his palm.
Crimson blood dripped onto the Guzai Tong.
Soon, a giggling sound appeared in the quiet air.
A black shadow floated up to the ceiling.
"I want Si Moyan dead!"
The giggling ceased, replaced by a sinister sneer. "If he dies, I want more blood."
Gu Beichen nodded. "Don't worry, I'll give it to you."
...
Around 8 PM.
After having dinner with several major clients, Si Moyan was riding back to the Si residence in his car.
He had drunk quite a bit that evening, and his temples throbbed with a dull ache.
He raised his hand to massage his temples.
He had only rubbed them a couple of times when he suddenly sensed something amiss.
The driver, who had been steadily driving ahead, suddenly saw a ghostly face appear on the windshield—its eyeballs bulging, its tongue hanging out nearly two inches long.
The driver was so frightened his heart nearly stopped. He failed to see an oncoming minivan. By the time he reacted and tried to brake urgently, it was already too late.
Si Moyan's stern features instantly tensed. He saw the grotesque, ferocious ghost face lunging towards him.
Si Moyan's dark eyes narrowed sharply.
The moment the ghost face got close to him, it sensed a fierce, intimidating aura.
Before it could even touch Si Moyan, it was repelled.
With a shriek, it vanished without a trace.
The Bentley collided with the minivan. Both Si Moyan and the driver were injured.
...
After her shower, just as Wen Yan was about to sleep, her room door suddenly knocked.
Wen Yan stretched lazily and walked unhurriedly to open the door.
Si Youyou stood outside, looking anxious. "Sister-in-law, Big Brother was in a car accident on his way back."
Wen Yan responded with a nonchalant "Oh."
Dabai had already told her.
Iceberg Si was injured, but he wasn't in life-threatening danger.
"Sister-in-law, shall we go to the hospital together to see Big Brother now?"
Wen Yan originally didn't want to go, but upon second thought, if she, as his wife, didn't go, Iceberg Si would surely dislike her even more.
Now that he was injured, it was the perfect opportunity for her to show her care.
"Okay, let me change my clothes."
At the hospital.
Si Moyan had changed into a patient gown. His left leg was in a cast, and his arms were bandaged with gauze, injured to varying degrees.
Seeing the usually cold and formidable man lying in the hospital bed, Wen Yan found it somewhat amusing.
Old Master Si looked at Si Moyan with heartache. "Grandson, how did the accident happen? Did someone tamper with your car? How are you feeling now?"
Si Moyan frowned slightly. "Nothing serious."
He couldn't very well say that he and the driver had encountered... that thing!
Wen Yan browsed through the gossip system, wanting to see exactly how Iceberg Si had gotten into the accident.
[Wow, so it was Gu Beichen who used his blood to summon the little ghost he's been nurturing, ordering it to take Iceberg Si's life.]
[But Iceberg Si's yang energy is too strong; evil entities generally dare not get close to him.]
[The little ghost didn't harm Si Moyan; instead, it was hurt by his yang energy.]
[Oh dear, Gu Beichen will have to offer more blood to sacrifice to the little ghost next!]
[No wonder he became a film emperor at such a young age. So he's been keeping such a thing. Doesn't he know that if he doesn't handle that thing carefully, he'll suffer backlash?]
Old Master Si and Si Moyan exchanged a glance.
Suffering backlash would serve him right.
Using such sinister methods to harm others will ultimately harm oneself.
Old Master Si truly couldn't understand Si Jinxiao. How could he not love his own outstanding son, but instead favor an illegitimate child from outside?
Did he know how underhanded that illegitimate son's methods were?
Such a vicious creature is actually the male lead?
Are we really in a book? The author who wrote this must have a screw loose too!
After confirming that Si Moyan was not seriously injured, Old Master Si asked everyone else to leave, keeping only Wen Yan behind.
Seeing that the old master hadn't even left him a nurse, Si Moyan's face darkened. "Grandfather—"
Old Master Si cut him off. "Grand-what-father? With your wife taking care of you, you should be secretly delighted!"
With that, Old Master Si gave Wen Yan a kind and amiable smile. "Xiao Yan, can I leave A'Yan in your care?"
Wen Yan made an OK gesture. "Sure, of course."
[Hehe, I can finally have my way with Iceberg Si.]
[He'll need to wash up later. Where should I start?]
[Chest muscles, abs, the v-line, and...]
Si Moyan interrupted Wen Yan's inner thoughts with a gloomy expression. "You should go back with Grandfather and the others."
If she stayed here, his innocence would definitely not remain intact.
Wen Yan's beautiful fox-like eyes curved into a smile, dazzling and enchanting. "Don't worry, hubby, I won't eat you up."
[I'll eat you until not even bone fragments remain, you dog man.]
[You can't escape the clutches of me, Wen Daji.]
