Seeing Xue Wuheng, Xue Shi's whole body shook, his face extremely ugly: "You still dare to show up!"

"Why wouldn't I dare to show up!" Staring at Xue Shi, whose body was slightly trembling due to anger, Xue Wuheng let out a chuckle!

"You... you're not afraid of death!" Xue Shi's blood-red eyes widened, breathing heavily through his nostrils, fists clenched tightly with a grinding sound, forcibly restraining himself from making a move!

Xue Wuheng glanced at Xue Shi's clenched fists, raised his head, face ice-cold, staring at Xue Shi: "What? You still want to make a move!"

"I..."

"You don't care about your sister? You don't care about your parents? You dare to attack me? Ridiculous!" Xue Wuheng's eyes flashed with an indifferent light!

Upon hearing 'sister' and 'parents', Xue Shi's body shivered, and then he seemed like a deflated balloon, slightly hunching his back, appearing totally defeated, becoming despondent, muttering to himself: "Tell me, why did you find me!"

Seeing the utterly resigned Xue Shi, a cheerful smile appeared on Xue Wuheng's face: "That's more like it! As for why I found you, it's..."

Saying that, a trace of madness flashed across Xue Wuheng's scarred face, his eyes tightly fixed on Xue Shi, speaking word by word:

"I! Want! You! To! Kill! Ye! Feng!"

"What?" Xue Shi abruptly lifted his previously lowered head, shocked!

Seeing Xue Shi's shocked look, Xue Wuheng felt a moment of satisfaction, laughing gurglingly: "I want you to kill Ye Feng! How about it? Doesn't it feel great!"

"Impossible!" Xue Shi firmly refused, his tone resolute!

Hearing Xue Shi's immediate rejection, Xue Wuheng's face became extremely grim, coldly saying: "What? You don't care about your family anymore? You don't care about your sister!"

"I..." At the mention of his sister, a look of pain flashed across Xue Shi's face.

In his mind, his sister's innocent and lovely smile resurfaced. Is she still as lovely as back then after so many years?

But, but... to have him kill Ye Feng, kill his own brother!

He... he truly couldn't do it!

The fierce internal struggle caused Xue Shi's whole body to tremble, breathing heavily repeatedly!

Watching Xue Shi's continuously changing expression, a trace of a cold smile appeared on Xue Wuheng's face:

"I'll give you three days. If Ye Fan isn't dead in three days, then your sister and parents will die! Think it through yourself!"

After speaking, Xue Wuheng ignored the significantly changed expression of Xue Shi, slowly turning to leave!

Xue Wuheng knew Xue Shi well, understanding that Xue Shi is someone who loves his family deeply, and he might choose to abandon Ye Feng for his family's sake!

At that time...

Ye Feng, wonder what you'd feel like when you're killed by someone closest to you! Haha!

Thinking of this, Xue Wuheng felt a moment of sheer pleasure!

Xue Wuheng left, Xue Shi didn't even notice, standing there dumbfoundedly, body slightly trembling, face continuously changing!

Family... brothers...

The two sides continuously intertwined in his mind!

Xue Shi could be certain, with Xue Wuheng's cruelty, if he didn't follow through, his family would surely die!

But, but to have him kill his own brother! He couldn't do it!

Conflicted!

His heart was endlessly conflicted!

The depression and annoyance inside nearly drove Xue Shi to the brink of collapse! Feeling like his entire chest was about to explode from being stifled!

Xue Shi, hazy and dazed, didn't even know how he returned!

Returning to the Purple Bamboo Garden, he happened to run into the Lynx!

Seeing Xue Shi's slightly lowered head and somewhat pale face, the Lynx noticed Xue Shi's originally spirited gaze now appeared dim and dark!

Seeing Xue Shi in such a state, the Lynx was startled, hurriedly walked over: "Xue Shi, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah?" Xue Shi was stunned, raising his head to see the Lynx's surprised expression, paused for a moment, then took a deep breath, forcing a smile:

"Nothing, just thought of something. I'm kind of tired, I'll go back to my room and rest!"

Saying this, Xue Shi headed towards his room!

"You..." The Lynx reached out intending to stop Xue Shi, but after thinking for a moment, put his hand down.

The Lynx felt there was something wrong with Xue Shi, so gritting his teeth, he quickly headed towards Ye Feng's residence to inform Ye Feng about the situation!

Finding Ye Feng, the Lynx recounted the situation with Xue Shi.

"What?" Hearing the Lynx's words, Ye Feng was stunned, looking quite surprised!

"I'll go check!" Ye Feng abruptly stood up, quickly heading towards Xue Shi's room!

In Xue Shi's room, the lights were off, making the room appear somewhat dim, and Xue Shi sat dazedly by the bedside, slightly hunched, head hanging!

In the dim light, Xue Shi's changing expression was visible, and he was gripping a sharp dagger in his right hand!

Holding the dagger, Xue Shi slowly raised his head, his originally confused gaze gradually becoming firm:

"I can't harm the boss... nor can I harm the family!"

With that, Xue Shi's face showed a deep bitterness:

"Boss, I... can only go ahead first, take care!"

With those words, Xue Shi exerted force with his hand, fiercely plunging the shiny dagger into his chest!

With a squish!

A large spurt of blood gushed out! Gradually, Xue Shi's robust body fell softly onto the bed, his eyes slowly losing focus...

In his final moments, the corners of Xue Shi's mouth slightly lifted, a trace of a smile appeared on his face: "I've died, my sister and the others should be safe now, the boss should also be fine... As long as that's the case, that's, then it's good!"

Upon finishing, Xue Shi slowly closed his eyes — Xue Shi died!

Xue Shi preferred to die himself rather than harm Ye Feng!

He used the sacrifice of his life to protect his family and Ye Feng!

A minute later, footsteps sounded outside the room!

Seeing Xue Shi's door tightly closed, Ye Feng frowned, knocking on the door: "Xue Shi?"

There was no response from inside!

"Xue Shi?" Ye Feng knocked on the door again!

But still, there was no response from inside!

Ye Feng's eyes showed a trace of doubt, just as he was about to knock again, suddenly, Ye Feng's face changed!

Something's wrong!

Where's that smell of blood coming from!

With a quick glance, Ye Feng raised his head, staring intently at Xue Shi's room, from where the smell of blood was originating!

"Damn!" Ye Feng's face changed, suddenly kicking open Xue Shi's room door!
