Shen Chu Ruo hid in the dark closet of the Shen family's pavilion and was hugged tightly by her mother. Her mother was so nervous that she almost suffocated due to the lack of oxygen.

She could not help but whisper, "Mom, why are we hiding here? Who was coming? Where's Dad? "

"Your dad, he —"

"Bam!" A loud sound interrupted Lin Qi's next words.

It was also the death knell for the Shen family tonight.

Realizing that the door downstairs had been opened, Lin Qi's face instantly turned deathly pale, and an aura of despair enveloped it. His body couldn't help but tremble.

"Mom, it hurts, it hurts."

The 10 year old Chu Ruo shouted in fear, her palm-sized face was deathly white, and her eyes were bloodshot. Hearing that, Lin Qi came back to her senses and quickly let go of the hand that was tightly holding her daughter.

She cast a glance at the half-closed door as a hint of determination flashed across her face.

"Obedient Ruo'er, you stay here! No matter what happens later, don't come out! "

Chu Ruo felt her mother's panic, and asked in fear, "Mother, what's wrong? What exactly is going on? "

"Remember, Mom and Dad will always love you. Don't lose this necklace!" Lin Qi quickly took out a necklace from his pocket, wanting to help Chu Ruo put it on.

Suddenly, a clear gunshot came from downstairs.

The hand holding the necklace trembled, and the necklace fell onto Chu Ruo's shoulder, sliding down her body and into her palm.

The necklace was bone-chilling cold. It stuck close to his skin and was so cold that it could freeze a person's heart.

The sharp sounds of gunfire pierced through Chu Ruo's limbs and bones, making her almost unable to move. Chu Ruo was stuffed into a cupboard by her mother. She watched stiffly as her mother took a deep breath and left the cabinet, covered the door, and disappeared from her sight.

Her eyes were extremely sore, but Chu Ruo didn't even dare to blink. She heard her mother's voice in the corridor!

"Where's your master?" There was a trace of hope in the voice, but more of despair.

"Mistress, it's been a long time. Master is downstairs, I have already sent him to where he should go. " The boy's voice was sharp and harsh, but it was filled with a self-righteous kindness.

Even though her voice had changed a lot due to her master's distortion, Chu Ruo was able to recognize that it was her older brother, Pei Shaoyang, who had been intimately close to her!

Why were parents hiding from their older brother? Did something happen to father?!

"You beast! A scum who doesn't know how to be grateful! "

"Yes, I am a scum!" But my great mistress, don't forget that we are the same kind of person! "

Lin Qi's voice was hoarse with anger. "We were forced to do this back then!"

"So what if I have to!?" All these years, I have never treated you unfairly, you are the traitors of treachery! "

"Shoot, it's over." Lin Qi seemed to accept his fate in an instant.

Ruo Ruo's eyes widened. She really wanted to rush out and protect her mother, but she had to listen to her mother's …

"Ah, it's over? Far from it! Your daughter is the main attraction! "

"You beast! What are you trying to do! " Lin Qi's voice was full of panic, as if he was on the verge of collapse.

"Even if I let you all die, you won't be able to rest in peace!" The voice of Peerless had suddenly risen in pitch, and was filled with a mad hatred.

Chu Ruo heard the sounds of people fighting, followed by a groan and a gunshot, the scream was firmly stuck in her throat. Through the only light under the crack in the door, she could see figures, things being dragged.

The hand that had touched her face not long ago was stained with blood. It drew a winding, twisted trail of blood on the ground …

Mom!

Tears flowed down Chu Ruo's face, leaving black marks on the bottom of the cabinet.

Without waiting for the second tear to fall, the cold, bone-piercing voice of Peerless once again sounded from the corridor, "Find them for me!" I must find that little bitch! I must make her want to die! "

Chu Ruo didn't know what it meant to live rather than die, but she knew that he was definitely a hell-like existence!

With a squeaking sound, the door of Lin Zhantian's room was pushed open by a spear.

Pei Qiong's sinister gaze shot straight at Shen Churuo's hidden cabinet, revealing a bloodthirsty light. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

He walked in, giggling strangely. His demeanor was so cold and cruel that Chu Ruo couldn't associate him with the elegant youth she once thought of. He didn't look like a twenty-something boy at all.

"Little sister, come out ~" Peerless Sir Pei opened the wardrobe and saw Chu Ruo trembling all over while covering her mouth with a few strands of hair that stuck to her face.

Chu Ruo shook her head in fear and backed off.

"No, brother — no!"

Pei Zi Yun rudely pulled out Chu Ruo's slender body and threw her out of the window.

Chu Ruo stumbled and fell on the windowsill, her head knocking against the windowsill and causing her to bleed profusely.

An immense pain engulfed Chu Ruo, she instinctively stood up and ran down the stairs. Along the way, a few men dressed in black tried to grab her, but she was familiar with the terrain of the Shen family and dodged them.

When he was close to the gate, Chu Ruo seemed to see a ray of hope, and was about to push open the door when a sharp pain suddenly came from her shoulder.

Squeezing Chu Ruo's thin shoulders, he led her back to the living room. He took out his gun and placed it on the table, his lustful eyes aimed at the weak little girl.

What happened to the gentleness of the brother? Chu Ruo thought.

"Chu Ruo, you know what brother wants to do right?" Pei Zi Yun looked at her teasingly. "Be good and take off your clothes."

"You! You actually dare! " Chu Ruo looked at him in disbelief, her eyes went from weak to firm, retreating step by step, "Impossible …" No, it was impossible to die! "Peerless, you shall die a horrible death!"

She turned around and looked for the only gap in the group of men.

The look in Pei's eyes suddenly changed, as he cursed under his breath: Damn it!

He wanted to capture Chu Ruo, but in the nick of time, the tightly closed door was kicked open. The man in a dark green military uniform strode into the Shen household and lifted the girl that had fallen into his embrace firmly.

The pair of heavy military boots, along with the utmost anger, sent Pei Qiong flying two meters into the air. When he landed on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Sir Pei, don't be too ruthless when doing things!" The man's voice was heavy and filled with killing intent, but his actions were gentle as he held Chu Ruo in his embrace.

Chu Ruo raised her head and looked up. This man who suddenly appeared had eyes filled with determination and unquestionable dignity, like a savior. He gave her a sense of security that she could live on.

She turned her head to the side and saw that her father was lying on the table with a face full of blood.

Before her consciousness left her, Chu Ruo saw that the calmness on her elder brother's face was broken …
