Chapter 56: 44

  "Just arrived." The person wearing a dark fire mask didn't even look at Qin Yue, but kept staring at the TV and said, "How's the matter going?"

  "Everything is going smoothly."

  "Uh-huh, good." The voice of the Hellfire Masked Man was devoid of emotion. "Where's Fang Zhenyi?"

  "I don't know where he went." Qin Yue asked tentatively, "What kind of person is he? You all seem to be quite wary of him?"

  "None of your business!" The Phantom Fire Masked Man shouted sternly, "Listen clearly, you can only obey my orders honestly, do whatever I say, and even if there's a slight mistake, I'll make you suffer for eternity!"

  "Is... is..." Qin Yue was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he began to tremble all over, like a startled little dog.

  The person wearing the Meng Huo mask saw Qin Yue like this, very satisfied, slightly slowed down his tone: "Qin Xue Man? Have you gone to find her?"

  Qin Yue shook her head: "Not yet. I don't know why, but every time I see her, I feel anxious in my heart."

  "What are you afraid of? You're her cousin sister!"

  "Although that's the case, you also know that they're a family who has always been ruthless and merciless. Qin Xue Man's great-grandfather was a murderous tyrant, I heard from my elders that he once killed over a dozen people in one day, and even drank human blood and ate human flesh!"

  Fang Wan saw that when Qin Yue mentioned Qin Xueman's great-grandfather, the person wearing the dark fire mask actually trembled.

  Drinking human blood, isn't that referring to Qin Grandpa from Hai Shen Island?

  No wonder she always felt that Qin Xue Man's appearance was familiar, now thinking about it, indeed similar to Qin Yue.

  "Qin Xueman's great-grandfather is already dead, you don't have to be afraid." The Phantom Fire Mask thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, anyway someone will deal with her. You going would only stir up trouble unnecessarily."

  Qin Yue felt relieved of a heavy burden.

  "Fang Yuan, where did you hide him?"

  Qin Yue didn't answer immediately, but stuttered and said: "What about the money you promised me?"

  The man in the dark fire mask was furious: "Are you still afraid I'll cheat you?"

  "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that with money, it's always better to have it in hand first."

  It's strange to say, but Qin Yue was originally terrified of the Meng Huo masked man, yet when it came to money, her eyes lit up, and her greedy gaze seemed like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep, gleaming with a faint green light.

  Fang Wan sighed silently in her heart. Human greed is always so shameless, making people lose their rationality. Qin Yue now faces a ruthless devil who kills without blinking, yet she dares to try to extort money from the devil.

  The man with the dark fire mask sneered coldly: "Qin Yue, I hate it most when others threaten me."

  Qin Yue finally started to get scared, stuttering and saying: "It's what you promised me, it's also the reward I deserve. If I hand Fang Yuan over to you, but you disappear without a trace, where can I find you? Can't just guard every day..."

  "What did you say?" The voice of the Phantom Fire Mask was ominous and terrifying.

  Qin Yue suddenly realized she had misspoken: "I... I mean..."

  "Where do you want to wait for me every day? Do you know who I am?"

  Qin Yue waved her hand repeatedly: "I don't know, I really don't know."

  The man in the dark fire mask sighed: "You woman, always relying on your little cleverness to play tricks on me."

  Qin Yue let out a strange cry and tried to make a run for the door, but the Phantom Masked Man blocked her way like a ghost, his hand reaching out to grab her throat.

  "I've reminded you many times, don't play with fire, be careful or you'll get burned!"

  Fangjuan heard a faint "crack" sound, which was the sound of bones shattering.

  Qin Yue softly fell down, and her body started emitting pale blue flames.

  Fang Yuanshu held her breath and stared at all of this in horror.

  Before long, Qin Yue's body was reduced to ashes. The Hellfire Masked Man patiently swept it clean and threw it into a trash plastic bag.

  Then he started looking for Fang Yuan. Under the bed, in the wardrobe, in the wall kitchen... all the places where people could hide in the house were turned upside down, but Fang Yuan was still nowhere to be found.

  "How strange!" muttered the Phantom Flame Masked Man, "Where could she have hidden Fang Yuan?"

  He seemed unwilling to give up and searched again, but still couldn't find Fang Yuan.

  After a long time, he was tired and disappeared from the underground passage.

  Fang Wan waited for a long time until there was no sound in the house before taking a deep breath.

  Since it's a hidden room for hiding people, there should be a mechanism to open the door. With her limbs unable to move, Fang Yuan exerted herself and leaned back, using her hands to touch the wall and relying on the support of the wall to slowly move.

  She didn't know how long she had been searching in the darkness before she finally felt a protruding button. Pressing it hard, the door of the dark room opened.

  Fang Yuan was thrown out of the dark room along with her chair. Then, she slowly crawled to the table and began to grind the rope against the edge of the glass on the table.

  His hands were worn out with several blood blisters, and it was only after great difficulty that he finally managed to grind through the rope.

  Fang Yuan untied the rope from her feet and slowly stood up, moving her numb muscles.

  The room was getting darker and darker, and it was hard to see five fingers when stretching out. Fang Yuan just wanted to find the light switch, but suddenly the room lit up, and the strong light made it impossible for Fang Yuan to open her eyes.

  Then she heard the triumphant voice of Meng Huo: "Fang Yuan, we meet again."
