"..." The leader swallowed his saliva. It was not yet snowy, but he felt as if he was already standing under the ice and snow, being attacked by the fierce wind and snow... He was frozen stiff.
"Brother Heng!" A man ran out of the house, saw Yuan Heng, showed joy on his face, and ran up.
That person is Lai Yuan.
Yuan Heng asked Xiang Laiyuan anxiously, "Ah Yuan, where is Ah Jin?"
Lai Yuan's smile froze on his face, Yuan Heng's expression changed, and his fingertips trembled so much that he could hardly make a fist.
Lai Yuan took something out of his sleeve and presented it to Yuan Heng with both hands. Yuan Heng looked down and saw that it was a hairpin with a hollow pattern carved on the end. The plain hairpin was originally the color of shiny white jade, but now it was stained with blood. The blood had dried and the red and black blood was stuck to the hairpin, making it lose its original luster.
Yuan Heng's heart felt as if someone had hit him hard with a very heavy hammer, causing his ears to ring. The only thing in his mind was the image of the hairpin in front of him.
He pursed his lips, his face was pale, and his eyes were sharp like a god of war returning from the battlefield, carrying the breath of death.
The man clearly didn't say anything, he just stood there quietly, but his powerful aura and pressure came from all directions, forcing Lai Yuan's knees to go weak and he knelt in front of Yuan Heng.
The leader's knees felt weak and he could hardly hold on any longer.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and slowly took the hairpin from Lai Yuan.
It was just a normal hand-stretching motion. The moment he opened his hand and stretched it over, Lai Yuan thought that he was going to put his hand on top of his head and crush him into a pulp...
It was the first time that Lai Yuan felt such a strong aura and pressure from Yuan Heng.
Even when he had friction with the leader in the past, the man had never lost control and let his aura run wild like this.
“Heng… Brother Heng… I… Xiaoruo and I tried our best… we tried our best…” Laiyuan said with a pale face.
Yuan Heng pretended not to hear anything. He stared at the hairpin and asked, "What happened?"
His voice was light and there was no emotion in it at all, but it seemed to carry a weight that pressed on the leaders and Lai Yuan's hearts, leaving a blood-red mark on them.
Lai Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It was the leader... Xiao Ruo and I led the beasts away, and the leader went in to rescue them, but he rescued Yue Ge'er instead..."
Yuan Heng's gaze was fixed on the leader's face. The leader's face turned pale, and under Yuan Heng's gaze, which seemed to be staring at a dead man, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
It was as if she was instinctively succumbing to this man's power.
“… No… And Brother Yue…” Another person walked out of the room. He was supported by someone and walked over tremblingly, his face pale.
That's Muge'er... Ajin's best friend.
"It was Brother Yue who hung the raw meat on the wall of Ajin's house, which attracted the monitor lizards. The monitor lizards attacked Ajin's house... and surrounded me, Ajin, Ayuan, and Xiaoruo..."
"!" Raw meat...
Yuan Heng looked down with a dark gaze as he looked at Yue Ge'er who was lying on the ground and staring at him. His face was as gloomy as the messenger from hell, as if he was ready to take someone's life at any time.
Mu Ge'er choked up and said, "Brother Heng, I'm sorry. We didn't protect Ah Jin well... In the end, it was Ah Jin who grabbed Yue Ge'er who was about to escape and used him as bait... He lured away the monitor lizard and saved us..."
