C212 (1/2)

Di Yanxi entered the house. The servants who did not escape were burnt to a crisp by the fire. He narrowed his eyes and turned to head to the underground laboratory.

The metal door had been deformed by the fire, blocking the entrance completely. It was impossible for anyone to come out.

The butler kicked open the iron door. This was the source of the fire. The room was pitch black and the previous layout of the laboratory could no longer be seen.

Di Yanxi looked at the shattered glass bottles on the ground, as well as some sticky liquid. His good-looking eyebrows slightly furrowed, obviously, this place was attacked first, then set on fire.

”How could it be destroyed like this!” When the butler saw the scene in front of him, his entire face became pale white. He immediately cupped his fists towards Di Yanxi and said, ”Master, it was this subordinate who took advantage of your protection. Master, please punish me!”

”Punishment?!” There was no smile on his face but only an ice-cold indifference as he said disdainfully, ”The Di Clan has always been safe. If not for someone destroying them from the inside, outsiders would not have been able to take advantage of this situation.

The butler was stunned but soon his eyes were filled with fear.

”I was unable to protect the Di Clan well. I am willing to die, but I will not admit to colluding with foreign enemies. I have been following my master for so many years, I have never had any other intentions!” The butler knelt down heavily on the ground, allowing the glass fragments to pierce his knees. He only frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.

Di Yanxi quietly looked at the man kneeling in front of him.

The room instantly quieted down.

Rustle, rustle, rustle.

A small sound broke the strange atmosphere.

The butler quickly locked onto his target. He rolled to the side and lifted up the charred wooden board. There were two people inside: Aunt Zhang and Leng Qing.

Leng Qing was already on her last breath, but Aunt Zhang was looking at the butler with a frightened face. When she saw who it was, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

”Are you guys okay?” The butler quickly helped Aunt Zhang out and asked worriedly.

Aunt Zhang waved her hands and coughed nonstop. Her face was covered in dust from the black smoke and she forcefully pulled out the coldness around her.

”Look at her, I don't know if I can save her.”

It was only then that the butler saw that Leng Qing's body was covered in burns and that he was dehydrated. If he was not saved in time, he would die in less than an hour.

”Send her to Xuanye's place.” Di Yanxi said.

The butler nodded, picked up Leng Qing and rushed out of the basement, leaving Di Yanxi and Aunt Zhang behind.

”Explain.” Di Yanxi's voice was light.

”Mistress.” Aunt Zhang quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and softly said, ”I heard a sound in the underground laboratory, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that someone would attack this place. In the chaos, I saved Miss Leng.”

”Is that true?” His voice grew colder.

Aunt Zhang slightly hesitated for a moment, then tightly frowned and said: ”Yes.”

”Not the slightest bit of deception?”

”No!”

Di Yanxi stepped on the broken glass and walked to stand in front of Aunt Zhang, his bone-sharp hands quickly pinching her neck, and his voice was cold.

”Your disguise is very similar. You must have been secretly imitating it for a few months now.” Di Yanxi said, ”Unfortunately, you do not understand Aunt Zhang, much less Aunt Zhang's superpower.

”Mistress, I …” ”I don't know what you're talking about …”
