Chapter 424 A Timeless Stratagem
"Kill, kill, kill her?" Lin Wanrong's mind thundered, and his face drained of all color, stammering, "Old man, what do you mean by this? She is Madame Xiao's own daughter. How could you lay a hand on her?!"
The Emperor spoke calmly, "It's true that she's Miss Guo's daughter, but what of it? When I want to kill someone, do I need to ask whose daughter she is? Lin San, why are you so naive?"
Seeing the Emperor so tyrannical, and thinking of the Eldest Miss's beautiful face, Lin Wanrong's blood boiled, his eyes glowing red, "Naive? So what? I don't kill indiscriminately, especially the descendants of old friends. Eldest Miss Xiao is beautiful, virtuous, gentle, and kind. What crime has she committed that you would draw your butcher's knife?"
The Old Emperor laughed heartily, "Beautiful, virtuous, gentle, and kind? If anyone else said that, I would believe it! But coming from your mouth, it's the biggest joke in the world! You and Miss Xiao bicker constantly, like sworn enemies. Who doesn't know that?" His expression turned cold, he sneered, "Moreover, how do you know she hasn't committed a crime? In my opinion, her biggest mistake is consorting with you, Lin San! Be honest with me. Besides the two women in your house and the two from the Xiao family, who else is close to you? I'll kill them one by one!"
Lin Wanrong's back was dripping with cold sweat. ‘What did this old fellow mean? He wants to kill all my loved ones?’ Thinking of the Eldest Miss, his eyes turned red, and he said coldly, "If you want to kill, then kill. All the women in this world are my loved ones."
The Old Emperor smirked, "Don't think I don't know with whom you are intimate. I know everything, Lin San. It's not that I'm cruel, but you are simply too greedy, and this disaster all falls upon you."
"Me?" Lin Wanrong pointed to his nose, "Are you mistaken? It's clearly you who want to kill, so how is it my fault?"
The Emperor slammed the table, angrily shouting, "In my presence, you still dare to talk back? You are the most shameless in the world. Let me ask you, do you know who Qin Xian'er is to me?"
