The man in black was drenched in blood from the explosion. He lay on the ground unable to move. Looking at Xue Fanxin, who was staring down at him, he had already realized that all of this was a trap set by her.

“You…” The black-clothed person wanted to speak and yell, but his injuries were too serious. It was already difficult for him to maintain his consciousness. He could not do anything else.

The current him could be said to be at the mercy of others.

Before coming, he had never expected to fall into the hands of a little girl.

“I don’t care how you got Li Yaoyao to search in the Duke’s Estate, but anyone who is in cahoots with her is my enemy. And I’ve never been merciful to my enemies. You must have contributed a lot to Li Yaoyao being able to successfully climb into the Third Prince’s bed, right?”

The black-clothed person looked at Xue Fanxin with wide eyes, filled with disbelief. How could the rumored stupid and foolish Young Miss of the Duke’s Estate be such a smart person?

“Tell me, what are you looking for? Also, who’s the mastermind behind you? Don’t say that you’re the mastermind. I don’t believe such nonsense. The real boss won’t easily show himself unless you’re just a small force.”

The black-clothed person closed his eyes, unwilling to meet Xue Fanxin’s gaze. This was because it made him feel afraid. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through human secrets, and they were terrifying.

“Do you think I can’t do anything to you just because you won’t say it? I have many methods to torture and force a confession out of you! I’ll definitely let you know what true living hell is.”

“There’s no need to ask. He won’t say.” Ye Jiushang walked over and stood behind Xue Fanxin. He took one look at the black-clothed person and ignored him.

Xue Fanxin turned back to look at Ye Jiushang and asked, “How did you know that he wouldn’t speak?”

“He has a restriction on him. Once he says a secret that he shouldn’t say, he will immediately die. Therefore, no matter how hard you torture him, it’s useless. Based on what I know, there are not many people in the Tongxuan Continent who know such a restriction. According to this clue, we should be able to find some hints.”

“Oh, you mean he’s worthless now?”

“No,” Ye Jiushang said confidently.

At this moment, the others from the Duke’s Estate had also rushed to the scene. They were shocked to see Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang watching a black-clothed person covered in blood.

Xue Batian had also come. He asked worriedly, “Little Xin’er, are you okay? What happened?”

“Grandpa, why aren’t you lying in bed? Why did you come out?” Xue Fanxin hurriedly went to support Xue Batian. She checked his injuries first and was only relieved after making sure that he was fine.

“A huge commotion just now seemed to have rocked the entire Duke’s Estate. How could I not come out to take a look?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I was just catching a thief.”

“Catching a thief?” Xue Batian looked at the black-clothed person lying on the ground, covered in blood. Thinking back to the assassins who had recently appeared in the Duke’s Estate, he thought that the emperor had sent people to assassinate him again. He was furious. “Can it be that those people really can’t tolerate me?”

“Grandpa, actually…” Xue Fanxin wanted to explain, but she suddenly realized that Li Yaoyao was hiding not far away. She decided not to say anything.

Once the black-clothed person was caught, it was time to deal with Li Yaoyao.. If she left this woman alive, there would definitely be trouble in the Duke’s Estate.
