Chapter 502: Chapter 502: No Need to Explain So Much to Her
The butler’s defenses were fully dismantled.
The butler kneeled with a thud, prostrating himself before Dan Hanjie, repeatedly bowing his head in apology.
“Mr. Jie, I was wrong. I thought the young master didn’t die… He came to me, just asking me about your whereabouts. I figured he didn’t want to return to the Bai family because he had other plans, so he…”
“Bang ——”
The butler’s words were abruptly cut off by a dull thud.
A hole appeared on his forehead, emitting a wisp of smoke. He collapsed onto the ground in the subsequent second.
His eyes were wide open, he had breathed his last.
Blood was slowly gushing out in a scarlet tide, pooling on the ground…
Dan Hanjie’s devilishly attractive face remained indifferent. He slowly raised his hand, dropped his gun onto the table, took a handkerchief, and began wiping his slender fingers one by one, each movement slow and elegant.
“Feed him to the dogs.”
“…”
Yao froze, a few seconds rolling by before he could react.
Dan Hanjie didn’t even give the butler a chance to explain himself, he just killed him so casually.
He used to be particularly kind to those who had followed Bai Huo, but now he had become…
Yao’s eyes flickered, his expression becoming solemn.
He was about to command his subordinates to execute Dan Hanjie’s orders when he caught sight of a figure at the door. Immediately, he froze in mid-action.
“Young mistress…”
Upon hearing that, Dan Hanjie swiftly lifted his head.
Qin Youxuan stood by the door, her horrified gaze affixed to the dead body lying at Dan Hanjie’s feet. She glanced at the gun before Dan Hanjie, and his fingers that he was wiping clean…
The air was thick with the smell of blood, yet he seemed so satisfied…
Catching the hint of ruthlessness flicking in his eyes, Qin Youxuan abruptly turned away, beginning to dry heave.
“Vomit ——”
Clamping her mouth, Qin Youxuan hovered uncomfortably over the retching for a while, unable to bring anything up.
Resigned, she leaned back against the wall.
She turned her head to the man seated at the desk.
He seemed so close, yet so far…
So familiar, yet so strange…
So eerie, it was as if she didn’t recognize him anymore.
The two of them were silent, neither starting the conversation first.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Yao quickly ordered his men to carry the butler’s body away.
He stepped forward respectfully and stated, “Young mistress, it’s been confirmed. The insider who was undermining Yujing Villa was the butler. Mr. Jie, he was just cleaning up the traitor.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan stared blankly, then looked at Yao.
The results were delivered so swiftly.
She had long suspected that Wu Qing had planted an insider in Yujing Villa.
But she never expected it would be the butler, who had always taken great care of her.
No wonder, every time she asked him to investigate a number, he would reply that he found no issues.
She suspected there is an informant in Yujing Villa and called for an inspection of the surveillance footage, all of which was handed to her by the butler. It’s no wonder she never found anything.
Later on, when she discovered paintings on the wall and asked the butler to look into them…
Almost every time, the butler was present.
That’s why they never found anything.
She even began doubting if she had met with some ill luck…
“Not only that, your recurrent nightmares could also be due to the butler planting a large amount of Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Flower in the villa.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao shared all of this in simple terms.
Concerned that Qin Youxuan may misconstrue Dan Hanjie’s actions after witnessing him murder someone.
“That’s enough. No need to explain so much to her.” Dan Hanjie curtly interrupted the loquacious Yao.
His cold eyes slightly lifted, sweeping over Qin Youxuan who was standing at the door. His gaze rested on her stomach causing him to frown.
Getting up from his chair, he went to grab his coat and walked out of the study.
What do you think?
