Became a vicious male mother

Thanks to Li Taihe?

These words truly surprised him.

But Li Taihe seemed to really think so. He drank several cups of wine in a row, his hands trembling, and sadly lit the incense on the candlestick before sticking it into the incense burner.

The photo in front of the incense burner was one that he had previously asked Le Sheng Wa to give to Le Thai Ho.

In the photo, the woman's part was torn off, and only Li Taihe's father was in it.

After Li Taihe knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and offered incense, Gu Xinglan asked, "Why did you tear up the other half of the photo?"

"She's not dead, there's no need to worship her."

Li Taihe took the bottle and began to pour the liquor in front of the photo.

Ordinary people might bring baijiu (Chinese liquor), but people like Li Taihe bring fine, expensive liquor. The aroma of the liquor permeates the air, and since the villa's windows are sealed, the strong smell spreads quickly.

"Gu Xinglan, wanna play games?"

Gu Xinglan was a little hungry and wanted to eat the small cakes that Li Taihe had bought at the supermarket. When she heard the word "game", she nodded, after all, Li Taihe was currently radiating the feeling of "I am very sad".

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

On the other side of Wushui.

The banquet hall.

Waiters carried silver trays filled with wine, some stacked into small triangular towers, weaving through the crowd. Chandeliers cast their light, illuminating the elegantly dressed people below.

Li Huiwen stood in front of the lounge door.

"Young Master, this is President Li's instruction. You need to copy the commitment letter again here."

It was supposed to be a birthday party, but instead, they were locked in the lounge and forced to copy a pledge by hand.

"Assistant Li, where is my father?"

"He's upstairs. You need to copy it and then personally deliver it up to him for his review. Once you're done, he'll let you out."

There was still more than an hour before the banquet officially began.

Assistant Li glanced at his watch.

Actually, the morning meeting is the most important.

The current banquet is merely a way to send a message to the outside world about the change of leadership.

Several thick sheets of white paper, the handwriting cut like ink blades, the strokes becoming increasingly rapid, until finally, Li Hetai's hand began to ache slightly from writing, but only ten minutes had passed.

"If Gu Xinglan comes over, I hope you can let him come up to me first."

Li Hetai stared intently at the paper, his head bowed, his black hair slightly obscuring his eyes and brows.

Assistant Li, standing at the door, stared for a while before finally saying, "Okay."

The cool breeze carried fallen leaves, but couldn't penetrate the air at all.

Changgu Villa.

From bottom to top, all the windows were tightly closed.

Gu Xinglan kept patting Li Taihe's back, making a loud thumping sound.

Her voice, initially filled with surprise, now cracked slightly, "Li Taihe! I'm not playing anymore! Put me down!"

After they finished eating the small cakes and drinking a few glasses of wine, Li Taihe said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with him.

The villa is so big, and there are no servants yet. Especially considering Li Taihe's recent somewhat frightening behavior, how could he possibly play hide-and-seek with this person?

What if you manage to hide and end up losing your life?

"obedient."

Li Taihe held Gu Xinglan's legs tightly with both hands, carrying him steadily on his shoulders. No matter how much the person on his shoulders hit his back, he did not budge an inch.

Just as Gu Xinglan's head began to flush slightly and her eyes started to glaze over with green dots, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her back and was stuffed into a cabinet.

Li Taihe also squeezed in.

The place, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became crowded.

"Li Taihe, what do you want me to do now?!"

The breath he exhaled still carried the sweet aroma of cake.

In the confined space, even the sound of a heartbeat becomes very clear.

The person opposite him reeked of alcohol, and Gu Xinglan could smell a distinctive metallic rusty odor from nearby.

Even when struggling, you could see the person's slightly furrowed eyebrows through the cold light filtering through the cracks in the cabinet.

This person must have been injured somewhere.

"When we play hide-and-seek, someone will come looking for us after about an hour."

Li Taihe produced a large roll of duct tape from somewhere and sealed his mouth shut in an instant.

Circle after circle.

Gu Xinglan thought this person was crazy.

I don't want to hear you speak.

After sealing his mouth with tape, Li Taihe's tension immediately disappeared.

"When a person is about to die, their potential is limitless. I'm just afraid that you'll be like the Sirens in Greek mythology, using your voice to bewitch the crew."

In addition to the sound of Li Taihe's breathing, there was also the faint crackling of sparks in his ears.

Gu Xinglan's pupils trembled for a moment.

"Ah, there's a fire," Li Taihe said with a slight smile.

The sweet little cakes would attract the rodents hiding in the villa. With so many traps here, just one coming to eat the cake would be enough. The flame from the candlestick fell down and ignited the woven fake petals and the oil blocks hidden under the petals, which could burn slowly without any problem. He poured a lot of wine.

“All the ventilated areas of the villa have been sealed off, and the walls and exterior doors have been designed with fire resistance. With no wind blowing in, the fire won’t spread so quickly. It will probably take about an hour to reach this floor, which is enough.”

The interior of the Changgu villa will be completely burned down without anyone noticing.

Gu Xinglan frantically rammed her shoulder into the person opposite her, her exposed eyes bloodshot, and she kept making muffled noises.

Li Taihe tore the fabric off his arm and tied his hands together.

When Gu Xinglan's gaze fell upon Li Taihe's two arms, which reeked of rust, she frowned deeply.

Li Taihe used a sharp object to carve some indistinct patterns on his body.

"I am a sacrifice."

Unexpectedly, Li Taihe casually unbuttoned his shirt.

It was full of strange red runes, some of which had already scabbed over slightly.

“There’s still plenty of time. Thank you for being the first listener in my life.” After showing off his masterpiece, Li Taihe’s eyes shone with an eerie light. His face was no longer all smiles; it was expressionless and as calm as a piece of wood.

The slowly moving breath finally settled on Gu Xinglan's forehead.

Li Taihe placed a light kiss on his lips and began to talk to himself.

“I am not a member of the Li family. I am my mother’s illegitimate child with another man.”

"I had my face surgically altered for the first time when I returned to the Li family's old house. My mother told me that my mission was to change the Li family's fortune."

Do you believe in the existence of luck in this world?

“She said that if the Li family members don’t die, it will be her, me, and my biological father who die.”

There are two sides, one of which can survive.

Decades ago, a mudslide on the mountain destroyed the Li family's house. After the rain stopped, Mr. Li went up the mountain and not only rebuilt the house, but also rescued a beautiful woman.

“My biological mother was abroad. She suddenly woke up and said it was God’s will. She hurriedly returned to China, got married, and then went abroad again with her husband. In a foreign land, I was the product of my mother’s accidental affair with a sorcerer who specialized in left-handed magic. My poor stepfather treated the sorcerer as a brother and treated me, who was not his biological child, as his own.”

“In the Li family mansion, my stepfather was very strict with me. He often made me kneel on a mat to read. At first, I hated him. My biological father taught me how to poison him and how to use special methods to make him more and more nervous and weak.”

“This is a hurdle I can never overcome in my life. My father was like my stepfather, strict with me but never lacking in love. But I only focused on the bad points and even magnified them.”

"The main branch of the Li family is getting smaller and smaller. Some are dying, some are sick. The original population of one hundred has been reduced to a dozen or so."

"I am one of the executioners who caused this tragic situation."

Words kept pouring out of Li Taihe's mouth, and Gu Xinglan felt like she was being strangled by those two hands.
