Chapter 60

Weisheng Yucan, seated in the VIP section, raised her hot water cup silently in a toast to Qiao Chuchu.

Qiao Chuchu, completely unaware, began to daydream like a naive rookie.

【It's not like I'm wrong about those four, after all, after Weisheng Yucan died, they all seemed to lose their intelligence one by one, each taking turns to throw themselves at Ji Yanchuan.】

【The specifics aren't clear in the plot, just a vague description, but overall, after Weisheng Yucan's death, the Wei Sheng Clan started to create trouble one after another.】

【First Old Five, then Fourth Brother, Old Three, and finally Old One.】

【Old One seemed to have some substance, but by then, all his brothers were dead, leaving him a lone commander, eventually dying from being utterly humiliated by the male lead.】

Old One: "?"

He was humiliated to death?!

His brothers teased him with amused glances.

Usually, he was a cold, icy mountain of a man, unapproachable by anyone, yet it turns out he had quite the temper, enough to be humiliated to death! ~

Hahahahahaha! ~

Qiao Chuchu squinted, 【Old Five tried to run Ji Yanchuan over, but was counterattacked and killed by Ji Yanchuan.】

Weisheng Huailing: "?"

His brothers teased him again.

Weren't you a top mercenary? Weren't you supposed to complete any tricky task for your employer stealthily? How could you get counterattacked while trying to run someone over?

Weisheng Huailing: "……"

【Fourth Brother seemed to have fallen in love with Xia Xuechun, planning a kidnapping romance, but was discovered by Ji Yanchuan. The two fought on a cliffside, and Fourth Brother lost his footing, falling off the cliff and smashing to pieces.】

Weisheng Huailing suddenly brightened up, looking joyfully at Fourth Brother.

His brothers also sneered at Fourth Brother.

Weren't you a cold, Buddha-like figure? Weren't you a vegetarian who practiced Buddhism? How could you fall for a woman Ji Yanchuan was interested in? Isn't that laughable?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fourth Brother's mouth twitched, his nose almost twisting in anger.

Was he that pathetic? Dying for love?

Qiao Chuchu continued thinking: [Second Brother's death was more dramatic. With his brothers and sister dead, he followed the clues to investigate, uncovering that Xia Xuechun had killed his sister and Ji Yanchuan had killed his brother. Since these two were a couple, he took matters into his own hands, with a resolute and unyielding heart, seeking revenge, severely injuring Xia Xuechun and Ji Yanchuan. However, in the end, the couple was rescued, and Second Brother was beaten to death by their timely reinforcements.]

Weisheng Lin: "……"

His brothers' expressions changed as they looked at Weisheng Lin.

It was something the righteous and loyal Weisheng Lin would do.

Very tragic.

They gave him a thumbs up.

Weisheng Lin blushed, mumbling as he turned his head away.

He ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‍was just very concerned about the family's honor!

Old One's face turned even greener.

Looking at it this way, among them, only his death was the most humiliating.

Qiao Chuchu felt the dead silence in the air and inwardly fumed.

【In any case, no matter what happens to me, I will not harm the members of the Wei Sheng Clan! They are just living their own lives, so why should I hurt them!】

【Moreover, Yu Can and Huailing are both quite nice, I won't do anything ungrateful!】

Everyone was astonished, their eyes on Qiao Chuchu instantly filled with unnoticeable approval.

Weisheng Yucan's eyes flashed with killing intent: "You heard it, right? We are all supporting characters meant to be stepping stones for Ji Yanchuan. Our endings are all death. I won't let all my efforts be handed over to someone else."

Weisheng Lin scoffed: "Just kill Ji Yanchuan and Xia Xuechun, the masterminds, directly, isn't that enough?"

Huailing shook his head: "I sent people to deal with Xia Xuechun, but all my men got injured."

Everyone: "?"

Huailing explained: "They said it was eerie. The daggers they threw backfired and injured themselves."

Yu Can smiled, her eyes flashing with anger: "They are the protagonists, and we, along with Qiao Chuchu and others, are the supporting characters. Before the 'ending' arrives, they will survive because the protagonists have a halo. That's why when you go after them, you end up dead."

Weisheng Lin laughed in anger: "After living so hard for so many years, I thought I was the crown prince, but now you're telling me I'm a villainous supporting character in the protagonist's story? What's the point of our existence?"

Fourth Brother: "Sacrifice."

Everyone frowned.

Fourth Brother strung his Buddhist beads on his wrist, expressionless: "Our clan exists to sacrifice for Ji Yanchuan, making him stronger."

…

They all sank into gloomy expressions.

Old One's eyes gleamed: "Xia Xuechun and Ji Yanchuan can't be killed, at least not now. Qiao Chuchu is the key to us controlling everything. Keeping her close is safer for us."

Yu Can: "Qiao Chuchu's brothers and the Lin siblings, as well as the Lou father and son, are all very attached to her. I suspect they can also hear her thoughts."

Weisheng Lin was shocked: "So, there's a bunch of people fighting over this one woman?"

Old One said sternly: "Then kill them and take Qiao Chuchu."

Weisheng Huailing suddenly became alert: "No! Those are her family and friends!"

Yu Can nodded, also opposing the idea: "Qiao Chuchu saved my life. She would save yours too. Are we going to bite the hand that feeds us?"

Old One crossed his legs, lazily glancing at Qiao Chuchu with his phoenix-like eyes: "Then leave her alone, but we need to get close to her. After all, we need to know when we're going to meet our end."

Weisheng Lin sighed: "We don't have time to get close to her every day. I'm busy enough as it is."

Fourth Brother shrugged: "Then make a plan, and we'll deal with the rest later."

Weisheng Yucan nodded: "Send her back."

Huailing agreed, walking behind Qiao Chuchu and gesturing to Second Brother: "I want to hear my name."

Weisheng Lin: "?"

Huailing blinked expectantly: "Make her silently think my name."

Qiao Chuchu, in this dead silence, was almost falling asleep.

【What's going on? Why is there no movement at all? Just tell me if you're going to kill or spare me!】

Her shoulders were once again placed on by a pair of hands.

Qiao Chuchu jumped in fright, becoming alert.

Weisheng Lin spoke in a low voice: "Qiao Chuchu, do you know who Weisheng Yucan's brother is?"

Qiao Chuchu: "……Yes."

Weisheng Lin: "Think it in your heart, don't say it out loud."

【……Weisheng Huailing?】

Weisheng Huailing's eyes widened, his cheeks instantly turning an unnatural red, the veins on his neck faintly visible, his fingertips trembling.

It was his name!

His name!

He understood!

His brothers looked at him with disgust, feeling he had reached some kind of peak of excitement.

…What a strange fetish.

Weisheng Lin's eyes rolled, he grinned wickedly and said to Qiao Chuchu: "That's Weisheng Huailing, remember, stay away from him."

Weisheng Huailing: "?"

He quickly knocked Qiao Chuchu unconscious, angrily questioning Weisheng Lin: "What are you doing?!"
