Due to the intense pain in her abdomen, Weimar felt her mind becoming somewhat hazy. Black spots appeared before her eyes, and a ringing filled her ears. It wasn't until she dry-heaved and expelled a sour liquid tinged with blood that her senses began to return.
As the ringing in her ears gradually subsided, she heard a cold voice that seemed to come from nowhere. To her shock, the voice belonged to the pale-faced individual she had always looked down upon.
The scene before her, constantly shifting between Dual Shadows, along with the echoing voice, forced Weimar, whose face was ashen, to weakly lift her gaze to meet the indifferent eyes looking down at her.
Seeing those eyes devoid of any human emotion, as if she were no different from an inanimate object, filled Weimar's heart with humiliation.
But soon after, a wave of intense fear washed over her—not for her own safety, but for the realization that such a person had been by Fia's side all along without being discovered!
What was their true intention?
"Are you wondering what my intentions are?" casually lifting a foot to step on her shoulder, the seemingly light action crushed Weimar down to the ground with a resounding crack. Yang Xiaoyou's cold and ruthless demeanor intensified, making her appear like a frigid machine.
"Do you really think someone like you could stop me from achieving my goals?" After stepping on her other shoulder as well, Yang Xiaoyou continued in that indifferent tone without any hint of mercy.
Weimar lay on the ground, cold sweat beading on her forehead. Yet she gritted her teeth to suppress any sounds of pain that might escape her lips. However, as the excruciating pain forced her into a state of calmness, hearing those words made her heart feel bitter.
The other party was absolutely right; if they truly had ulterior motives, there was no doubt they could have acted against Fia long ago.
All her efforts to guard against this and that now seemed foolish in hindsight. The stark contrast made her feel as if all hope had been extinguished, as if her very existence had lost its meaning.
Then she saw that cold figure, resembling a machine, draw the dagger from her waist. In an instant, she closed her eyes and quietly awaited the final judgment.
A sharp sting appeared on her face followed by a piercing sound in her ears; the anticipated fatal blow never came.
When she opened her eyes, she found the dagger embedded deep in the ground beside her face and saw the figure turning away. For a moment, a sigh flickered in what little remained of her vision.
He was indeed living under the mercy of the other party, having narrowly escaped death. However, it was clear that this was likely due to the last shift in his mindset being noticed by the other person. It seemed they were using their actions to convey that no matter how he struggled, if they wanted to take his life, they could do so at any moment. To think that he believed the other party wouldn’t dare to kill him was utterly ridiculous.
Moreover, it appeared that the other party placed significant importance on the collaboration between Hive Security Company and HLI. In this situation, Weimar found himself hesitating about whether to report this information.
If he truly informed Fia and she reacted in anger towards him, how would he be able to stop that? Having followed Fia for so long, he understood that while Hive Security Company valued HLI, the company also held a similar regard for their counterpart. If his selfish desires were to disrupt this hard-won harmonious relationship, then—
Could it be that his resolve was even less than that of a mere fellow?
“Ah, am I really going to listen to Menglu and let her hit me?” After leaving behind the fellow who had lost an arm and wouldn’t fully recover without two months of proper rest, Yang Xiaoyou opened his front door and walked in. He spoke in a tone that seemed directed at the air.
Just then, a sword sheath struck his head with a sharp sound. A stunningly beautiful ethereal girl, as if she had stepped out of a painting and shouldn’t exist in this world, appeared right before him. The curtains by the window fluttered slightly, as if acknowledging her entrance.
“If you don’t go, I’ll take action.” In response to Yang Xiaoyou's joking words, Feng Lin replied seriously. Although her words were brief, Yang Xiaoyou, accustomed to her way of speaking, understood that she meant if he didn’t attend the concert, she would resort to violence.
Taking in the orchid-like fragrance that filled his nostrils, Yang Xiaoyou felt his mood shift from its earlier turbulent state back to calmness.
“Were you waiting here all along? There must be a reason for it.”
“Send over that woman you picked up.” Feng Lin’s words surprised Yang Xiaoyou; could the woman he had found be the One-Eyed Sister? It seemed quite possible.
If it weren’t for someone as terrifying as Feng Lin suppressing things, Weimar would have likely tried every means to contact Fia by now and wouldn’t have let her stew in anger for so long.
It was indeed somewhat absurd that Feng Lin had picked her up.
“Do you want to kill her?” Noticing Yang Xiaoyou’s contemplative expression, Feng Lin tilted her head curiously. Just moments ago, she had sensed a hint of murderous intent from Xiao You.
“At first, it was a bit much, but this is my doorstep. Since she knows how to be sensible, I’ll let it go. After all, one should win people over with virtue,” Yang Xiaoyou said with a somewhat shameless grin. His words made Feng Lin, who wasn’t very good at joking, ponder and nod in agreement, as if he had learned something.
This change left Yang Xiaoyou feeling a bit embarrassed.
Weimar was at best just a captain of the Royal Guard or a head bodyguard. Yang Xiaoyou valued Fia’s safety but didn’t care about Weimar’s life or death.
To her, Yang Xiaoyou’s presence only served to protect Fia and reduce some trouble.
That bodyguard girl should be grateful; if it weren’t for the slight change in attitude from the other party, if it weren’t for the fact that this was her own doorstep, if she hadn’t sensed Feng Lin’s presence, and if she hadn’t needed a peaceful state of mind, she would have indeed taken direct action against the other person just now.
Moreover, it was likely that the One-Eyed Sister herself didn’t even realize that she had a tail following her. Feng Lin guessed that she had merely followed her home because it was close to where she lived and happened to run into her.
Originally, the Beach Villa had been filled with emotional fluctuations during the banquet, but after Feng Lin’s naturally ethereal presence appeared, everything became increasingly stable. The initial emotional turbulence was suppressed, leaving Yang Xiaoyou quite enamored with this feeling.
On August 7, 2009, the super internet idol Dream Butterfly, who had taken Southeast Asia by storm, held her first solo concert at Lutai Stadium in Z City, JS Province.
When the official promotion began a week prior, it exploded online. Many fans started complaining about not being notified earlier about Clouds.
This explosive atmosphere made seasoned idols feel deep jealousy, and many negative messages began circulating online.
Most of them claimed that evidence of Clouds’ deception would be exposed after this concert. Many netizens with opposing views and well-known anti-fraud warriors seized on the fact that the other party had never demonstrated their abilities live and believed they had only succeeded through post-production tricks and relied on “a bit of charm” to achieve their current status.
Such rapid success, which seemed nearly impossible to replicate, naturally made those stars who had worked hard to rise from humble beginnings feel envious.
Amidst this atmosphere, Yang Xiaoyou unexpectedly realized another significance behind Chen Wuyou’s choice to hold the concert in Z City, a place not known as an entertainment hub.
It could greatly weaken the schemes of some entertainment giants who wished to take advantage of the situation. This was not within their sphere of influence, and by promoting it just a week in advance, the possibility of last-minute infiltration was eliminated.
The negative impact caused by external factors was minimized to the greatest extent.
This truly made Yang Xiaoyou marvel; Sister Wu You's expertise in this aspect was indeed top-notch. While planning the concert, she also considered various potential troubles and assessed the possible impact on Dream Butterfly quite accurately.
Even with just a week's notice for promotion, ticket sales were incredibly hot, and despite temporary seating being added in the stadium, it was still completely sold out.
Due to the advantageous location, ticket prices were set above average and could even be considered expensive, yet more than half of the tickets remained in the hands of locals.
“Cousin, I really can’t thank you enough! Hehe, those folks are definitely going to be envious!” Qin Yao exclaimed, looking at the ticket in her hand with an excited expression directed at Yang Xiaoyou. Her eyes sparkled with joy; she was the daughter of Yang Xiaoyou's uncle and had been somewhat dissatisfied with him during the New Year celebrations.
Her brother, Qin Yu, stood smiling on the other side. The way Yang Xiaoyou had interacted with Liu Lianyue at the banquet had made him and their father eager to matchmake those two.
Unfortunately, neither their aunt nor uncle, nor even Cousin himself seemed particularly invested in this matter.
During this last visit before summer vacation ended, their father had given them quite a lecture by pulling on their ears. Recently, just because of that previous performance—merely a deliberately leaked rumor—the family business had expanded by thirty percent, and half a year's earnings equaled what they had made in the past two years.
Because of this, every topic during their meeting would inevitably lead Qin Yu to steer the conversation toward Liu Lianyue, making Yang Xiaoyou feel overwhelmed. However, since he was a guest, he couldn't say much. At that moment, only Qin Yao's innocent chatter provided a way to avoid discussing that cousin.
