Instantly, the atmosphere around them became stagnant. No one spoke, and a strange silence filled the air.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Yi Huai spoke again with difficulty, "You all know very well what the purpose of my coming here today is. Just tell me directly! What do you want in exchange for letting Wan Wan go?"

Although he knew that it was difficult to achieve his goal here today, he had no other choice.

After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. But when he received the call from home, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

Later, when he returned home and saw his wife's appearance, he finally confirmed one thing. That is, Zhong Nianyao was not just talking, it was all true.

In just three short days, his wife had been tortured beyond recognition. He had consulted many famous doctors and tried to find people from other hidden families who were proficient in medicine to help, but there was still no way.

During these two days, his wife had been tortured to the point that she had lost the will to live and even began to beg him to kill her.

The most important thing is that he didn't even know what was wrong with his wife, let alone any way to save her.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go again.

However, he didn't dare to face Baili Hengyuan, so he went directly to Zhong Nianyao. Unexpectedly, he still had to face her in the end.

"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded and said with a smile, "We all know why you came here, but so what? Just because you come to ask for help, do we have to agree to help you?"

Seeing Zhong Nianyao's fearless appearance, Yi Huai was filled with resentment. But he also knew that the only person who could save his wife now was Zhong Nianyao.

Therefore, no matter how unpleasant Zhong Nianyao's words were, he could only endure them all.

"No matter how wrong I am, it's all my fault." Yi Huai lowered his eyes and lowered his attitude. "But this matter is entirely my problem and has nothing to do with Wanwan. No matter what kind of punishment there is, come at me! As long as you are willing to let Wanwan go, even if it means taking my life, I won't blink an eye."

"You are indeed a lovesick person!" Zhong Nianyao's smile was ironic. "It's a pity that I can't sympathize with you. Maybe it's because you hurt my mother for the so-called love!"

"Yes, you did it, but the beneficiary is your wife, isn't it? Now you ask me what I want, so I'll tell you! I want to take back all the vitality that belongs to my mother from her."

"No, this is absolutely not possible." Yi Huai objected subconsciously, "If this is the case, Wanwan will definitely die."

"She should have died a long time ago." Zhong Nianyao exuded a chilling aura. "She is still alive now because of my mother's vitality. It is only natural to return the property to its original owner, isn't it?"

"No, you can't do this." Yi Huai kept shaking his head, then raised his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao with a hint of madness in his eyes, "Do you know that by doing this, you are killing someone!"

"Yi Huai, you are going too far."

Baili Hengyuan, who had been listening nearby, could no longer control his anger. He took a step forward and kicked Yi Huai. "Your Wanwan is kind and beautiful, so my daughter deserves to die and become a victim of your love, right?" "You actually have the nerve to come to our Baili family and shout at us. I have to ask the head of your Yi family how you are going to give us an explanation for doing something like that."

"This is all my own decision. It has nothing to do with the Yi family."

Originally, Yi Huai could have dodged it, but facing Baili Hengyuan's anger, he didn't dare to dodge at all. He could only take the kick head-on. He felt a sharp pain in his calf.

However, the physical pain was far less than the panic in his heart. "Uncle, if you want to settle the score, just come to me. The Yi family knows nothing."

"It doesn't matter whether the Yi family knows about it or not." Baili Hengyuan said coldly, "As long as you are a member of the Yi family, you harmed my Baili family's daughter. Then your Yi family cannot escape responsibility for this matter."

After saying that, he turned his head, looked at Zhong Nianyao, and said directly, "Why bother talking to such a beast? He actually wanted to step on my daughter to save his wife. It's just a daydream."

Hearing Baili Hengyuan's merciless words, Yi Huai was really anxious. He looked directly at Zhong Nianyao, "Didn't you say those words at the beginning to lure me to your door? Now that I'm here, just tell me what you want to say!"

Now that things have come to this point, he can almost imagine what kind of storm the Yi family will stir up next. It is still unknown whether he can continue to stay in the Yi family.

Since it costs such a huge price, no matter what, we must ask Zhong Nian Yao to agree to save Wan Wan today.

"But I don't have anything I want from you!" Zhong Nianyao tilted her head and smiled, her words carrying a hint of cruelty, "Maybe I brought you here just to make you feel the taste of despair?"

"Just like my grandparents and uncles, who have been going from hope to disappointment and even despair for my mother over the years. How does it feel?"

Every word was like a knife cutting into Yi Huai's heart, making his face turn pale.

"you--"

Yi Huai raised his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, trying to find some clues from her face. Unfortunately, he could not find anything.

"Oh, I think you should know this very well." Zhong Nianyao suddenly continued, "Because of my mother's affairs, my grandmother was very unhappy and passed away a few years ago."

"You made my grandfather suffer the pain of losing his wife, and now you want us to save your wife. Is this reasonable?"

Yi Huai felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and could feel a strong chill from the inside out.

He vaguely felt that his decision to come here today seemed wrong.

Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Butler Bai came again. However, surprisingly, there was a woman in her forties with him. (End of this chapter)
