Chapter 9: Strangle You

  Ye Yun stuck out her head, looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky, and let out a sigh of relief.

  They say it's a killer night when the moon is dark and the wind is strong, but with such a bright moon in the sky, it should be safe tonight, right?

  Ye Yun's heart was also uncertain.

  If she was fearless during the day, but at night...the enemy was lurking in the dark, and her heart still had some fear.

  The entire government is completely deserted.

  Ye Yun walked around and found that everyone followed the rule of not going out at night, even the night watchmen were nowhere to be seen.

  This is really strange.

  Ye Yun quietly slipped into the courtyard where the main house was located, and suddenly felt that there were eyes on her back.

  She suddenly turned around, but there was no one.

  Illusion? It should be. Just now when she came, obviously no one was seen.

  Just as Ye Yun felt at a loss, a strange and eerie laughter suddenly came from behind her.

  Ye Yun suddenly turned around, a magnified man's face almost stuck to her body, fortunately she reacted quickly and quickly retreated several steps, opening the distance between them.

  Ye Yun was so frightened that her heart leapt into her throat, and when she looked again, "Shao, Master?!"

  "Oh? Do you know who I am?" Gao Xu's expression was somewhat strange, and his question was also quite strange.

  Ye Yun couldn't help but be on guard, "Of course I know. Young Master, it's so late, you haven't rested yet?"

  Why does his smile make people feel so eerie?

  "Are you new here?" Gao Xue asked with a sly smile, slowly approaching Ye Yun, "You didn't rest either, did you?"

  Ye Yun backed away while thinking of how to escape. The current Gao Xu made her feel extremely dangerous.

  "This servant will go to sleep now. If young master has nothing else, this servant will take her leave first."

  "No wonder." Gao Xu muttered, smiling eerily, his smile twisted almost to the roots of his ears.

  Ye Yun wanted to call out, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound.

  She had a strong premonition that those girls who were killed all died at the hands of this man.

  But why is it that during the day, Hao Xuan was so gentle and friendly, yet now he seems like a completely different person?

  Gao Xu continued to move forward, and Ye Yun also quickened her pace of retreating.

  "Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you." Gao Xu's voice was seductive.

  Believe it or not! Ye Yun shouted in her heart, and her retreating footsteps accelerated.

  She didn't dare turn around and run, she was afraid that before she could even start running, the man in front of her would catch her red-handed.

  Gao Xu's situation was clearly not right. Ye Yun's mind was a mess, and she could only keep retreating for the time being.

  Suddenly felt a chill on his back, he had reached the end of the road.

  Ye Yun secretly cursed her bad luck and quickly looked around for an exit, but both sides were dead ends. The only way out was to bypass the tall Hao Xuan in front of her.

  What's wrong?

  Ye Yun took advantage of Gao Xu's delay and quickly ran to the side, wanting to make a big circle around him to get behind his back.

  She had only taken a few steps when Gao Xu suddenly flashed in front of her, and Ye Yun was so fast that she couldn't react.

  "Ah!" Ye Yun exclaimed and her first reaction was to run quickly!

  But Gao Xu moved even faster, grabbing Ye Yun's arm and pulling her into his own embrace.

  His strength was extremely great, and Ye Yun couldn't break free no matter what.

  Have no choice but to use the most primitive method.

  "Save..."

  Before Ye Yun could shout, Gao Xu had already covered her mouth with one hand, his lips touching her earlobe, whispering softly, "Don't shout, I won't hurt you. He's really something, coming to a new place without telling me. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I won't hurt you, and I'll even bring you endless joy!"

  Ye Yun's whole body was covered in goosebumps.

  It seems that Gao Xu is the murderer! Is he a person with dual personality?!

  "Don't be afraid." Gao Xu said softly, his lips slowly moving to Ye Yun's neck.

  Ye Yun felt a wave of nausea, but her body was completely paralyzed and unable to move.

  "Don't shout, I'll let go of your hand." Gao Xiang set out the condition.

  Ye Yun hastily nodded.

  But Gao Xu merely moved away the hand covering her mouth.

  "Those five girls, did you kill them all?" Ye Yun's voice trembled slightly. As long as she got the answer, her mission would be accomplished.

  "Hmph..." Gao Xu sneered, "You want to know?"

  Ye Yun nodded and deliberately encouraged: "Think about it, will you tell me?"

  "I'll tell you anyway, those women were all killed by me. Who let them try to seduce my father and take my mother's place? They all deserved to die!" Gao Xu's voice turned sinister.

  "That's your father, getting old but still wanting to take a concubine. If he didn't want to take a concubine, why would so many people be fighting for your mother's position?" Ye Yun angrily accused.

  Isn't it a mistake? The real culprit is that old man who won't rest!

  Gao Xu grasped Ye Yun's neck with one hand, "If they hadn't seduced Father, how would he have taken them as concubines? It's all their fault!"

  Ye Yun was pinched and almost couldn't breathe, "Even if those concubines are as you said, what about Xiaochan? What did Xiaochan do wrong?"

  Xiaochan's name, Ye Yun, was heard from Wu Ma.

  Although Madam Wu said she died of illness, Ye Yun knew that she must have been murdered too.

  "She's also wrong. She dares to think that with her young body, she can climb up to the position of a noble lady, what a joke! Each and every one of them are cheap women, cheap women!" High Xu's mind was filled with the images of those women who appeared reluctant on the surface but were actually inviting.

  Ye Yun took advantage of Gao Xu's momentary relaxation, quickly broke free from his restraints and ran away.

  Ye Yun took advantage of Gao Xu's momentary relaxation, quickly broke free from his restraints, and ran away, shouting "Save me!"

  Please! Dealing with normal people is fine, but she can't handle this kind of neurotic person!

  She was completely immobilized as soon as she was caught like that.

  If she gets caught again, she's done for!

  "Don't run!" Gao Xue roared, chasing after him, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "I must kill you!"

  "Impossible?!" Ye Yun exclaimed, "I don't want to marry you or your father. Even if it's just for a meal, why do you want to kill me?"

  "Who told you my secret!"

  The angry roar behind seemed to be getting closer.

  "That's what you said yourself, I didn't intentionally want to hear it!" Ye Yun exclaimed.

  "Stop right there!" Gao Xiu didn't listen to Ye Yun's "excuse".

  "No way!" Ye Yun desperately ran forward.

  Gao Xu saw that chasing like this wasn't going to work, so he lightly tapped his feet and used his lightness skill, easily arriving in front of Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun didn't expect him to have this trick up his sleeve and slammed on the brakes just in time to avoid crashing into him.

  Just as he was about to turn around and run again, Gao Xu caught him red-handed.

  "Oh no!" Ye Yun shouted loudly, struggling non-stop.

  "Don't shout! Don't shout!" Gao Xu crazily shook Ye Yun, his eyes full of murderous intent, but he didn't actually make a move.

  "You want to kill me, why can't I scream?!" Ye Yun struggled and was held firmly by Gao Xu, unable to move. The fear in her heart intensified when she saw the crazy killing intent in Gao Xu's eyes.

  "If you shout again," Gao Xu's hand slowly crept up Ye Yun's slender neck, and suddenly used force to pinch it, "I'll strangle you to death!"
