Xue Rui really didnt understand where Huang Yi hid such big charisma to make Xue Yan lose his mind. How long did they know each other? How many times have they met? How the heck were they getting married!? Staring at Xue Yans kissed marked chest, he opened his mouth but couldnt say a word.

When did Xue Yan find out that Huang Yi was a man? What was he going to do with Xue Jia? He wouldnt take revenge for Huang Yi, right? No, no way, Xue Jia hasnt done anything to Huang Yi yet, and it wont in the future, plus, if Xue Yan wanted to have the clan quickly accept Huang Yi, Xue Jia would be useful.

Xue Rui convinced himself, then finally choked out a congratulations.

I oppose. Xue Zi Xuans voice trembled, he seemed to be trying to suppress some great pain.

What qualifications do you have to oppose? What is he to your family? Dont give me any bullshit about him being your adopted brother, I know exactly why you took him back to your house. I wonder what Xiao Yi will have to say to you if I told him the truth. Xue Yan leisurely puffed out a smoke ring.

No, you cant tell him. Xue Zi Xuans complexion worsened. Xue Yan had obviously caught on to his weakness, his greatest fear was Xiao Yi one day finding out the truth about why hed brought him back. He would hate him, reject him, and never want to see him again.

Xue Yan sneered but didnt respond.

Xue Rui spoke softly, Yan Ye, you can rest assured, we promise to treat Xiao Yi better in the future. Well start looking for another heart for Jing Yi, and pretend this whole thing never happened. The clan members need to know that he has a background, so well take him back and do all the adoption procedures, then they wont oppose to the marriage as much, what do you think?

Xue Yan stared at Xue Rui for a while, waiting for the other man to be drenched in cold sweat before putting out his cigar and saying, Ill send Xiao Yi back tomorrow. Xue Rui, you must clear up Xiao Yis identity as soon as possible. I want him to live in the light, not as your fucking heart donor. Whether your daughter lives or dies, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yi, do you understand?

I understand, I understand. Xue Rui nodded vigorously, cold sweating.

Xue Yan glanced at the wall clock and impatiently waved, Get out.

When the two people left, he took the elevator back to the bedroom, and turned off the alarm clock. If he let it ring, the boy would jump out of bed like a spring and run around the house barefoot searching for him. He was too restless.

They left? Zhou Yun Sheng felt the bedside sink and asked in a sleepy daze.

Gone. Why do you have to go back to Xue house? What are you planning? Xue Yan pulled him into his arms, nuzzling his neck.

Zhou Yun Sheng shivered and wrapped his legs around the other mans waist, nuzzling back as he humphed, Im going back to collect on my debts. Did you really think Id let them go so cheaply? Running back to be their cash cow after they treated me like livestock? In their dreams! I want them ruined and orphaned.

How ruthless. Xue Yan chuckled and pulled him in closer.

In order to vent his anger, Xue Ru drove wildly. If hed known that Xue Yan went for men, and he was perfectly able to perform, he wouldnt have sent Huang Yi to him, he really dug his own grave. Now hed lost his daughters heart, and also had to find ways to give Huang Yi an honorable identity, which would certainly provoke a lot of trouble. Huang Yi was not a nameless boy anymore, on the contrary, he was too famous, his face was plastered over numerous websites, almost everyone in the world knew of him. It was bearable if he just had to let him play the piano, but he had to get him an ID card and officially recognize him, which would immediately set off a big wave in Xue Jia.

Xue Rui gritted his teeth and ran through his options in his mind for a while, then his distorted expression unexpectedly started relaxing. Huang Yi was more talented than his daughter, and he was now a world-class treasure pianist that the country was focusing on promoting. If he shared of his eastern wind, he could catch up to the major ships, reaching a higher level in society. And if he could climb higher than that temperamental Xue Yan, his life would become more stable. On the other hand, if the boy died, hed be left with a talentless daughter, and if the secret of the competition substitution was revealed, he would not only lose all benefits, hed also have to find ways to clean up the aftermath.

Huang Yi was so famous, who knew how many people were watching him from the dark, cleaning up the aftermath would be very difficult, and if the truth about his death was found out, Xue Jia would be finished.

The more Xue Rui reasoned it out, the more he recognized the advantages of keeping Huang Yi alive. If he was alive, he could win over Xue Yan, stabilize his position in the clan, and also pull the boys strings from behind the scenes to build bridges for Xue Jia, contending for glory and interests. There was simply hundreds of benefits without any disadvantages. But if he died, itd cause all kinds of troubles, and the troubles were all beyond his ability to clean up. Xue Jia would inevitably suffer great damage, and who knew when it would ever be healed.

Xue Rui tapped the steering wheel, finally reaching a decision. As for his daughters heart transplant, for now, they could only keep looking. Itd be perfect if they could find another one for her, but if they couldnt, it wasnt the end of the world. Theyd raised her for sixteen years, fulfilling all her wants and needs, never ill-treating her.

To put it bluntly, Xue Rui was an unscrupulous, heartless businessman. He was very good at judging the situation and taking stock. As long as it didnt hinder his interests, he could be a kindhearted and refined man, but once it conflicted with his interests, he was more ruthless than Xue Yan, not even willing to spare his own family. He didnt even acknowledge his clearly troubled and dazed son, he just quickly drove home and called Xue Li Dani into his study to discuss. Xue Li Dani was naturally very reluctant to give up the opportunity to save her daughters life, leading to a big quarrel. However, she was forced by the pressures of reality, and had no choice but to compromise. Xue Yan already knew their plans, if they really went ahead and touched Huang Yi, he would certainly dig out all their hearts.

The man had more than a dozen brothers all together, except for the 9^th oldest whod never mistreated him, all the others were either dead, incapacitated, or missing, yet no one could find out the causes behind these misfortunes. But the whole clan unofficially knew that this was Xue Yans handwriting, the man was relentless.

Xue Li Dani left the study to ask her son for help persuading Xue Rui, but didnt expect to find him sitting dazedly on his bed. As soon as she finished weeping out her grievances, he slowly opened, Mom, you want to save Jing Yi? Okay, I can give you my heart, please spare Xiao Yi. He got up and walked into the kitchen, searching for a paring knife to stab into his chest, if Xue Li Dani hadnt stopped him in time, he really wouldve pierced his heart.

Xue Li Dani was terrified, she didnt dare mention anything about the heart transplant to him again. She gently coaxed him back to his room to sleep, but Xue Zi Xuan couldnt fall asleep, he just stared at the ceiling all night, his eyes bloodshot the next day.

Xue Jing Yi noticed her familys abnormal attitudes the next morning. Her mother fawned over her with extra diligence, her father was very perfunctory, and her brother bluntly refused to look at her, leaving as soon as he heard her walking downstairs. She felt very aggrieved, her recently well-behaved heart once again squeezing in pain. Fortunately, her attention was diverted when Xue Li Dani called her over to take her to her physical exam.

The physicals results were very optimistic, the indicators were better than ever before, almost approaching the standards of normal people.

Can I have the heart transplant now? Xue Jing Yi excitedly asked.

Xue Li Dani had called Dr. Zhang in advance, telling him to forget about them finding the heart donor. Although it was to save someones life, it involved taking the life of another person without good cause, even though the money Xue family paid him was substantial, Dr. Zhangs heart was still carrying a heavy burden. Now he didnt have to kill someone, but he still received the payment, so he naturally felt very satisfied. But in front of Xue Jing Yi, he pretended to helplessly say, Im sorry Miss Xue, the heart Id arranged for you has already been given to someone else, you have to wait a while longer. Well let you know as soon as we find a suitable donor for you.

How is that possible?! Xue Jing Yi shrieked. Huang Yi is still alive and well, how can you say his heart was given to someone else?

For patients like you that need transplants, our hospital will give you a certain rank. The patients who are critically ill will receive a higher rank than you, so theyll receive a donor before you. Every hospital has such a system, we have no other way. Dr. Zhang explained while discreetly reading Xue Li Danis expression, seeing her gloomy but not angry look, he immediately felt reassured.

No, youre lying to me! Mama, didnt you say I can have the surgery in two months? Xue Jing Yi anxiously pulled Xue Li Danis sleeves.

Jing Yi, please listen to me carefully. Your blood type is very special, its not easy to find a matching heart. We can only go back home and patiently wait, theres definitely a suitable heart for you out there. Xue Li Dani quickly hugged her and comforted.

But Xue Jing Yi shoved her away and snapped, Isnt Huang Yis heart the most suitable? Or why else would you guys bring him home? What is the meaning of this farce? Youre not going to save me?

Dr. Zhang was stunned, Xue Li Dani was also stunned, theyd never expected her to know the situation so clearly. However, all this time, she pretended to know nothing, she even treated Huang Yi as her precious relative, always getting along with him.

Xue Li Dani found it difficult to accept her daughter having such a cold heart. She was an artist, although she was cruel and selfish, shed always advocated truth, goodness and beauty. On the day she adopted Xue Jing Yi, shed decided to raise her into the worlds most elegant, kind and faultless woman. Human beings were so strange, whatever they couldnt do, they always wanted to accomplish it through their children. She didnt want her daughter to be contaminated by even the slightest filth, so she concealed everything from her and protected her in an ivory tower.

But now, she suddenly found that her daughter was not as elegant and kindhearted as shed thought, in fact, she had long been stained by filth. No wonder she insisted on having Huang Yi substitute for her in the competition, no wonder her piano playing was full of malice, shed known everything, and was more enthusiastic than anyone to receive Huang Yis heart. While she smiled friendlily at Huang Yi, she was itching to gut him, to dig out his still beating, blood drenched heart.

Dont blame Xue Li Dani for describing it so gorily, Xue Jing Yis current expression was very murderous, her facial features twisted in hatred, giving her the appearance of an evil spirit.

Before, Xue Li Dani was worried that her daughter would resist using her siblings heart, but now, it seemed she had no resistance, on the contrary, she was ecstatic. They had always regarded her as a fragile glass doll that needed her familys protection, but in reality, she was ten thousand times crueler than they were. This realization instantly whittled away Xue Li Danis pity for Xue Jing Yi, turning into spine-chilling apprehension.

The girl knew that Huang Yi was her last remaining blood relative, and ever since he came to her side, he always treated her nicely, meticulously taking care of her. When she was bed ridden, Huang Yi would spend all night at her bedside, sometimes forgoing meals to stay with her. When Xue Li Dani had learned of these things, shed felt somewhat moved. At that time, shed thought that since theyd become so close, the least she could do was make up a good explanation for after the surgery, to let her daughter know that Huang Yi was doing well in a better place, so she didnt need worry.

Now it looked like all her concerns were a useless joke. How could the girl be worried? She obviously didnt want Huang Yi to live a moment too long. Since Huang Yi came back from Vienna, she repeatedly urged them to quickly schedule the surgery. Xue Li Dani hadnt thought it odd at that time, but knowing now that her supposedly innocent and kindhearted daughter was just pretending, she found it chilling.

She blocked her daughters mouth and hurried out of the hospital, pushed her into the front passenger seat, then closed the door and asked, Do you know everything?

I want Huang Yis heart! Mama, I want his heart! Xue Jing Yi repeated, mimicking digging out a heart.

Xue Li Dani was frightened, this evil spirit like person was not her cute, kindhearted, spiritually rich daughter. She ruthlessly slapped her and admonished, You will not mention anything about taking Huang Yis heart in the future. We cant touch him! Panting, she hesitated to ask, Hes your brother, can you really bear to do this?

What is there to bear? Didnt you bring him back here to save me? Hes just my heart container, nothing more. Xue Jing Yi covered her bruised cheek, giving a neurotic sneer.

Xue Li Dani slumped onto the steering wheel, wanting to cry but unable to. She knew that they had destroyed their daughter. Even if she received Huang Yis heart, her soul would be assimilated with the demons, carrying the sin of murdering her blood brother. She would never play heart touching music, she would never live a normal life, plundering and viciousness would become her first response, and she would only get more and more wicked in the future.

Xue Li Dani had wanted her daughter to live a carefree life, she always wanted to keep her pure and kindhearted, but now, everything had fallen apart.

She looked into her daughters muddy eyes and stressed, Your father is going to formally adopt Huang Yi, from now on, hes your family, not a heart container. We will help you find another heart, you have to give up any thoughts about attacking him. If you disobey me, Ill ship you off to Switzerland to recuperate, so you better start thinking clearly. Even when her daughter exposed a miserable expression, she pushed down all her pity. She needed some time to adjust to her daughters immense change.

Xue Jing Yis eyes widened, she stated yelling and kicking up a fuss, but Xue Li Dani ignored her the whole way home.

Xue Yan sent Zhou Yun Sheng back to Xue house after dinner. Xue Rui was very welcoming to him, willing to agree to any of his conditions in order to persuade him to perform at the Congress Hall. Zhou Yun Sheng gave him a vague agreement, then went back to his room and immediately turned on his computer to review the surveillance videos from the past few days.

Nothing unusual had happened, even Xue Zi Xuan had followed his expectations, his furious expression quite impressive. Just like hed done to him in the last life, hed almost crushed Xue Jing Yis fingers. Seeing this scene, Zhou Yun Sheng smiled and collapsed onto his bed, his hatred finally feeling a little vented. Not just anyone could disturb Xue Jing Yi, only Xue Zi Xuan could hurt her the most, so right now, she certainly must be on the brink of madness.

Xue Jing Yi really was on the brink of madness, shed hid by the stairs to eavesdrop on the conversation between her father and Huang Yi, confirming her mothers statements, they really were going to formally adopt Huang Yi. On the other side, theyd decided to give up on her, letting her life run its course. She walked back to her bedroom in a trance, shocked to find Xue Zi Xuan leaning against Huang Yis door, his face was expressionless, but two lines of tears were rolling down his face. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw her, then a thread of loathing started growing in his dark eyes.

Brother. Her heart aching, she reached out to touch him, but he walked away, returning to the third floor without looking back at her.

Xue Jing Yi buried herself in her blanket and wept for a long time, then she seemed to think of something, and turned on her computer to contact a recent pen pal.

How do I get someones heart? She typed this question with a dark expression.

Soon, Zhou Yun Shengs computer beeped, receiving this message, he pursed his lips and smirked, replying, Kill them.

Kill them? Yes, kill them! As long as he died, everything would go back to normal. Xue Jing Yis mouse shook neurotically, after half a day, she closed the chat window and opened up Google. Zhou Yun Sheng glanced at the webpages constantly popping up on his screen, already understanding what Xue Jing Yi was planning. She was going to knock him out, then personally dig out his heart, so she was searching for information on anesthesia, and also ordering a freezer, scalpels and other medical equipment, even downloading a surgery how to video.

I really didnt underestimate you, Xue Jing Yi. Zhou Yun Sheng murmured cheerfully. Xue Jing Yi was his meticulously cultivated, highly toxic flower, when she fully bloomed, she would drag all the people around her down into eternal damnation. Her actions were so dynamic, he was full of expectations for the games finale.

Half a month later, Xue Rui and Xue Li Dani attended a cocktail party together, and Xue Zi Xuan was teaching at the university, leaving only Xue Jing Yi and Zhou Yun Sheng home. Xue Jing Yi personally boiled a pot of milk tea and brought it to the table, coaxing Zhou Yun Sheng to drink. When he was unconscious, the steward helped carry him to the underground garage. The garage was already full of all the latest medical equipment, the tools she bought online were redundant.

Miss, Ill cut it. Seeing Xue Jing Yis trembling hands, the butler volunteered to cut. The Xue couple were always busy with work, it could be said that he personally raised Xue Jing Yi. He loved her more than anyone else, how could he watch her die? As long as they took out Huang Yis heart, the situation would be irreversible. When the Xue couple came back, what could they do? Would they send their daughter to jail? They couldnt afford such a scandal, so they would definitely try to cover up for her. Then the heart would naturally be transplanted into her body.

Xue Jing Yi waved, No, Im not afraid, I was too excited. She took a few deep breaths, then raised the scalpel up to the boys chest. The blade was very sharp, with only a light touch, it opened up a line of blood. Under the lamps harsh shine, everything was completely illuminated, it looked very ghastly.

Tons of blood started pouring out from a small wound, startling Xue Jing Yi to jump back. She gritted her teeth and raised the knife again, but was stunned to see the boy suddenly wake up, forcefully pushing her away.

What are you doing? He asked, clutching his wound. Because he had been drugged, he staggered as if he would faint at any moment.

Xue Jing Yi noticed his weak movements, so was not afraid of him running away, she pointed to the laptop on the operating table and said, Im removing your heart. The computer was playing the heart removal surgery video. Xue Jing Yis resolve was very astonishing, even though she was missing assistance from a doctor, she was determined to do it herself. She had to kill him before her parents and brother came back, but she also couldnt let his heart stop beating. Fortunately, her home was very well-equipped, they even had liquid to preserve the heart, sparing her a lot of headaches.

W-Why? Zhou Yun Sheng struggled to jump off the operating table, accidentally knocking over the surgical instruments placed on the tray, scalpels, surgical clamps and other tools scattering everywhere.

Because I suffer from congenital heart disease, only your heart can save me. Did you really think we brought you out from the countryside just to adopt you? Dont dream. Fu Bo, hold him down for me.

The steward nodded and walked over to press the boy onto the operating table, but unexpectedly, the boy had hid a scalpel in his sleeve. He ruthlessly stabbed it into his stomach, and even shook it around a few times. The steward screamed in agony and fell to the ground, and Zhou Yun Sheng staggeringly ran towards the door. He had already sent a text message to Xue Zi Xuan using Fu Bos cellphone, luring him back, he shouldve come back by now.

Sure enough, before he reached the door, Xue Zi Xuan kicked it open and rushed in, meeting a blood soaked boy wearing only a pair of jeans. His face distorted in horror, and catching sight of his sister brandishing a scalpel to attack the boy, without pausing to think, he immediately pulled him behind him.

He frantically gripped the blade and asked through gritted teeth, What do you think youre doing?

Doing what you guys wanted to do earlier, dig his heart out. Brother, didnt you bring him back to save me? Did you forget? Xue Jing Yis eyes were crazy.

Xue Zi Xuans fingers throbbed with piercing pain, but he knew that he couldnt let go of the blade, he looked back and shouted, Run Xiao Yi!

Zhou Yun Sheng looked at him with complex eyes, then clutched his still bleeding wound and ran out. When he reached the living room, he resumed a normal gait, and slowly picked up the phone to call 110.

Help, someones trying to kill me! His panic-stricken voice was a strong contrast to his smirking face.

Dont panic, tell me your current address, and your name. Well send someone to help you as soon as possible.

Im at Longquan Mountain Golf Course, Villa Residence 88, my name is Xue Jin Yi. Someone is trying to kill me, Im injured, and bleeding a lot. I also feel very dizzy.

Please quickly find a safe place to hide, well immediately send out police officers. After the operator hung up the phone, he kept feeling that the name Xue Jin Yi sounded very familiar, something seemed to flash across his mind, and he quickly called his superiors, confirming that the famous child piano prodigy really did live in Longquan Mountain.

The police didnt dare delay, they immediately sent out several police cars to rush over to Longquan Mountain. Zhou Yun Sheng monitored the operating rooms situation with 008 while rubbing his bloody hands along the walls, then he ran out and stood in the middle of the road. Xue Yans car was coincidentally passing by, seeing his bloody body, the mans complexion was frightfully dark.

Didnt you say an accident was unlikely to happen? Tell me how this isnt an accident! He grabbed the boys ears and roared, but seeing his face scrunched in pain, he quickly pulled him into his arms and took off his coat to press it onto his chest wound, still breathing heavily. Seeing the long cut, he felt paralyzed with agony, he finally knew how it felt to feel someone elses pain as if itd happened to himself.

The wound looked scary, but it was not even a minor injury to the battle hardened Zhou Yun Sheng. He put on an act and sobbed, but in fact, he was watching the brother and sister confrontation through 008. Thanks to Xue Ruis careful preparation, the operating room was fully equipped, including a real-time monitoring system. As long as the operation lamp was turned on, the monitoring system would automatically start up, and store all the footage.

He hadnt expected Xue Zi Xuan to unhesitatingly grab the blade to save him. The other man didnt dare let go, once he did, his fingers would be cut off, so he could only force Xue Jing Yi into the corner and trap her. Although Xue Jing Yis heart was ruthless, she couldnt cruelly attack Xue Zi Xuan, seeing his fingers constantly leaking blood, she finally regained some rationality. She let go of the knife and tearfully hugged him, crying and crying until a heart attack took her and she fainted.

The butlers abdomen was seriously injured, he had already entered a coma from losing too much blood. Xue Zi Xuan despised his sister, but he couldnt heartlessly watch her die, so he staggered through the pain and ran upstairs to find her medicine. Catching sight of the bloody footprints leading through the living room and out the door, he sighed in relief, knowing that Xiao Yi was safe.

He pushed the pill into Xue Jing Yis mouth and performed simple first aid on her, seeing her improved condition, he stumbled to the wall and slumped to the ground. Ten minutes later, he heard police sirens and chuckled faintly, Our familys retribution has finally come, Jing Yi, are you ready?
