Imperial Treasure

Chapter 478 - 325: Never Been So Awake

Chapter 325

Elder An was composed and casually said, "Although this girl is formidable, her foundation is ultimately too weak, and she has her vulnerabilities. To let her know our Yun family’s strength, we must destroy her vulnerabilities and make her experience true despair... Our Yun family is not to be trifled with!"

"Yes, Grandpa An is really powerful! My dad and grandfather are just too timid...saying that this person should not be provoked... Humph, so what if we provoke her! I just want to make her suffer!" Yun Junyan’s expression was fierce.

Suddenly, a man said, "Hey, why did the video suddenly go fuzzy!?"

"Huh? What’s going on! Everything’s fuzzy! What a crappy camera! Call the manager over!"

They checked the surveillance...

At this moment, Sui Yi had already left Peony Hall, and Ye Chunan was too late to catch up; he only saw her speed increasing as she walked out, and then...

"Hey, you girl, what are you doing~~" Below in the hall, a manager hurried over, about to shout something, only to see Sui Yi lightly step and leap over three meters, grabbing onto the stair railing, and then her afterimages disappeared.

She was stunned, "Hmm, did my eyes just deceive me?"

At this moment, the surveillance was still a blur, and Yun Junyan gradually felt a cold chill as he said, "She wouldn’t come up here, would she?"

Elder An frowned and snorted coldly, "What if she does come up... Young master, don’t worry, with me here, you are in safe hands..."

No sooner had these words fallen...

With a clack

a door was slowly pushed open, its lock having been cut.

Sui Yi stood at the doorway, holding the Sealed Dragon Blade, expressionlessly looking at them...

A dark red light flowed on the Sealed Dragon Blade, as cold as her eyes.

She could see inside the luxurious room, the floor-to-ceiling windows clear and bright, the light shining in, the floor covered with a luxurious, expensive Persian carpet, a glass table laid with fine wines and dishes, and the screen was a blur of white...

Previously, it had perfectly recorded how Ye Xiuling and Old Madam Ye were humiliated, and finally beaten, and then...

At that time, were they not loudly laughing and feeling proud, drinking fine wine and discussing what kind of pain Sui Yi would suffer as a result...

Sui Yi didn’t speak; she walked in, gently pushed the door, and closed it.

With a soft bang, a world was shut.

In a private room at the Eastern Hotel, Yi Chilian sat on the sofa, listlessly watching some subordinates drink, eat, and chat. His phone rang. He glanced at it and raised his eyebrows.

"To receive your call during Dr. Jiang’s working hours, something urgent must have happened."

"Are you at the Eastern Hotel?"

"Hmm, even though I don’t like that the Yun family owns shares here, the place is decent enough... What’s up?"

"Sui Yi is also there. It looks like something has happened! It involves her grandmother; it must be serious. I can tell from the tone of voice... You better go check!"

Yi Chilian suddenly stood up, startling quite a few people.

"Boss, you..."

Before anyone could say anything else, Yi Chilian already had a stern face, the Eastern Hotel... owned by the Yun family.

How could Sui Yi’s grandmother be in this place!

Not good!

Yi Chilian turned and spoke to a man, "Check if any of the Yun family members are here... I want their location! Never mind, I’ll go myself!"

He didn’t bother to grab his coat lying nearby and strode out of the room.

This action made the originally lively group tense up, everyone quickly got up and followed...

Ye Chunan had Ye Xiuling handle Old Madam Ye’s situation; he himself, clutching his phone, ran fast through the lobby, searching for Sui Yi’s whereabouts..

He was afraid—afraid that Sui Yi might do something drastic, afraid of the price she might pay...

This fear surpassed his anger, surpassed everything.

Sister Lin Yun’s phone connected; he immediately asked, "Sister Lin Yun... Are Miss Gong Jiu and the others with you?"

"Yeah, what’s up?" Lin Yun’s mood was still very good because she was handling the sales records of the store these days.. thinking about presenting this perfect report to her young boss, made her quite happy~~

"Something happened..." Ye Chunan’s three words made Lin Yun’s expression freeze, and before she could ask what happened, a loud crash came from the other side followed by a succession of screams.

"Chunan, Chunan, what happened..." Lin Yun’s shouting voice came from the phone, but Ye Chunan was just staring blankly as a young man’s body followed those huge floor-to-ceiling windows crashing into an even larger fishpond...

With a clang, countless pieces of glass splashed with the water, flooding the lobby...

The young man’s limbs twisted softly in the water, eyes bulging, terrified as he looked up...

Yun Junyan... Ye Chunan suddenly understood something and jerked his head up; he had fallen from above.

From the sixth-floor central private room, an entire floor-to-ceiling window had disappeared.

No one knew what was inside...

But, the people across from the sixth floor did!

Many people leaned over the railings looking at the central private room across; they saw something.

A white blur on the screen, several people lying on the ground, a very quiet room.

Quieter than death.

————————

People had died in the hotel, and quite a few at that.

This news set the entire hotel abuzz, with many who had been staying in their rooms rushing out to see what was happening. Quite a few noticed a young woman in a transitional, small lounge between buildings. She was tall and slender, her beauty extraordinary, sitting on a high stool with one leg dangling and the other bent, holding a glass of deeply red wine, the liquid shimmering enticingly.

But the way she drank was peculiar, numbly and indifferently, sip by sip, her pale lips gradually staining deeper with each touch of the wine, yet her eyes and brows remained cold...

There was an inexplicable aura of asceticism about her.

The bartender had been staring at her for a long time, finding it difficult to look away.

Grape wine under the moonlight, it is not the wine that intoxicates but the person themselves.

Intoxicated by such a woman.

But no one dared to approach her.

Her isolating and chilly demeanor was too intimidating, even a distant look could unsettle onlookers.

Not until a similarly striking young man came along.

He stood not far off, observing for a while before approaching.

Closer now, from a distance of two meters, he said, "Sui Yi, you’re drunk."

Sui Yi put down her wine glass, turned to look at him, "Yi Chilian... it’s you.."

"You’re calling my name, seems like you really are drunk," he had always thought about how it would be if this girl, younger than him by a few years, would call his name with the familiarity of a peer...

But she was too composed... more restrained even than the self-control he had always prided himself on.

"Drunk?" Sui Yi glanced at the half glass of wine still in her hand, pursed her lips and said, "I just realized, all these years, I have always been drunk, only now... am I most sober."

Her delicately perfect neck line tilted slightly as she swallowed the wine, finishing it in one go.

She walked away, past Yi Chilian.

Yi Chilian walked over and took hold of the wine glass, his fingertips brushing it slightly...

Mr. Yi, she had always clearly drawn a line for them.

Crossing it was not allowed.

He didn’t even want to admit that he had always been cautious.

But now, it was she who had crossed the line, not to approach him, but... to pass by him, as if intending to leave him far behind.

"Boss, boss.."

Yi Chilian’s subordinate finally found him, his tone wary, saying, "Someone from the Yun family has been murdered, just now, and they say the killer might still be around, boss, you should..."

Yi Chilian turned his face, interrupting leisurely, "Wreck the surveillance system... Use whatever means necessary... Take care of anyone who has seen the footage as well."

The chilling tone made the man pause, then he nodded, made a call giving out orders... After a while, his expression became peculiar, saying, "Boss... the surveillance system has been down since earlier, all data inside are jumbled, completely unrecoverable..."

Yi Chilian was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow, "That’s for the best, then. Let’s go... As one of the hosts of this hotel... I should handle some things... don’t you think?"

"..."

Compared to the Yun family members being wiped out here, the situation in Peony Hall A43 didn’t seem that important...

Though those people had already started tremblingly calling the police..

By the time the police were called, Miss Gong Jiu and her group which included Flower Demon grandly arrived, Flower Demon strutting elegantly on her ten-centimeter heels, saying as she walked, "What a masterful setup for a feast turned lethal... turning everyone into a tomato omelet in the end, you must be quite pleased."

She reached the woman who was calling the police, her slender fingers pinching the phone, and with a gentle squeeze-

Crack!

The whole phone burst apart.

She smiled, "The manager who was paying you well enough to let you eat, drink, and harm others has been taken down... fell from the sixth floor, bones all cracked... though he died better than those few... at most a tomato and egg soup... By the way, did you not consider before doing all this that your children would end up buried with you.. such small pity~~"

She smiled extra tenderly towards those few children..

Was this a threat?

Someone had already seen Gong Jiu along with Feng Sha and others walking to a wall, sprinkling something...

The flesh gave a hissing sound, and soon the corpses of seven strong men turned into a pool of blood on the ground..

It was cleaned up in no time.

Someone else was painting over with white paint...

Everything was brutally yet dreamily horrid.

Others who were planning to call or had already called the police swiftly killed the idea, some returning to tell the police... sorry, I just dialed the wrong number...

The police on the other end were already sensing something fishy, but since the Eastern Hotel had already received several calls, they were supposed to go and check...

By the time the police arrived, Sui Yi and the others had long since left.

In the car, none of Gong Jiu’s group spoke,

Old Mrs. Ye just lay on Sui Yi’s lap, Sui Yi’s hand gently resting on her cheek...(To be continued.
