Chapter 1105: Life or Death, It Depends on Her Fate

"I’ll fight you to the death!!!"

Han Yixuan’s eyes were bloodshot, her expression grotesque and terrifying, as she charged at Gu Jin like a madwoman.

She seemed to forget that she was now like an ordinary person, entirely without combat capability.

If Gu Jin wished to crush her, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.

As Han Yixuan rushed forward, Gu Jin’s eyes were as sharp as knives. She swiftly kicked out with lightning speed, aiming ruthlessly and accurately at her opponent.

The speed was so fast, it left Han Yixuan no chance to retreat.

Gu Jin’s kick landed heavily on the opponent’s knee.

The conference room was covered with thick carpet, and because of Gu Jin’s kick, Han Yixuan was forced to kneel fiercely on the carpet.

"Boom!"

The sound of knees hitting the ground was dull and painful even to hear.

Gu Jin walked up to Han Yixuan and looked down on her: "Do you think you are still alive and shouting in front of me for a reason?"

Disdain, mockery, and extreme cold from her low voice echoed slowly in the conference room.

Han Yixuan struggled to get up from the ground, her body trembling uncontrollably from pain. Her white fingers pressed hard into the carpet, and the blue veins on the back of her hand were clearly visible, a testament to her current anger.

"Who do you think you are? Just a sect leader of a small sect. This is the Chen Palace. Beijing is now the domain of the Royal Family and major families! Even if some families are unhappy with the Royal Family, they have no choice but to remain loyal and preserve the royal dignity. If you kill me today, soon you will die to accompany me!"

It had to be said that Han Yixuan’s words struck a chord with Gu Jin.

The major families in Beijing would give face to the Royal Family as long as their interests weren’t touched.

And indeed, Gu Jin would not kill Han Yixuan.

However, not killing her did not mean others wouldn’t, the Yin and Yu Families hated Han Yixuan to the bone.

Gu Jin laughed coldly and bent down, grabbing the latest fashionable wavy curls of Han Yixuan and pulling them towards her face: "Indeed, I won’t kill you because doing so would dirty my hands.

But, if you feel you’ve lived enough, I think others would be happy to serve you."

After saying this, Gu Jin dragged Han Yixuan and delivered her in front of Wanqi Jingyi: "I changed my mind. Send her to the Yin and Yu families, and whether she lives or dies will be up to fate."

"Yes, Master!"

Wanqi Jingyi swiftly took Han Yixuan, raising his hand to chop at the back of her neck to prevent further commotion.

All of Han Yixuan’s anger and shouting ended with the unwilling closing of her eyes due to this chop.

All along, Han Yong’an watched from the sidelines, without uttering a single word.

Even as his precious daughter was captured by Gu Jin, with an uncertain fate, he did not express any opinions.

"Is this enough? A Princess gave face to everyone, and the matter of the Yin Family ends here!" Han Yong’an spoke calmly, the previous hint of panic had entirely vanished.

It was as if he was certain Gu Jin, having captured his daughter Han Yixuan, would not proceed against him.

Gu Jin initially furrowed her brows, then her gaze turned icy cold, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Han Yong’an was cold-blooded and heartless, indifferent even while his own daughter was captured.

Blood ties and kinship could be sacrificed, a testament to his unscrupulous nature for achieving his goals, making him someone who should not be deeply associated with.

As partners, one must constantly guard against his schemes, and as friends, one must be wary of being betrayed for profit.

As a leader, without compassion, how can one win the hearts of others and manage a family or nation?

Han Yong’an’s selfishness and ruthlessness, his betrayal and treachery, resulting in the current plight of the Royal Family, are truly deserved.

One wonders how furious the ancestors of the Royal Family would be underground, knowing they have such a degenerate descendant as Han Yong’an.

Our forebears fought with blood for today’s peaceful era, yet Han Yong’an, as a Royal Family descendant, colludes with people from Short Country, which is beyond heartbreaking.

He is utterly heartless!

The Royal Family holds extraordinary significance in this world, serving as a parallel button for various powers. Should the Royal Family fall or vanish, chaos would ensue globally.

For the sake of family and country, and for the stability of various powers, Gu Jin cannot kill Han Yong’an.

Yet, watching Han Yong’an’s brazen arrogance, Gu Jin was truly displeased.

This man needs a lesson.

Han Yong’an did not receive a response from Gu Jin and presented a profound expression, completely ignoring her.

He raised his chin, looking down imperiously at Wanqi Yanghong.

"Yanghong, I can pretend this didn’t happen. Yixuan did wrong, take her away, the Royal Family won’t hold anyone accountable. Leave quickly now, or it will become hard for you to leave if delayed."

Wanqi Yanghong glanced at Gu Jin.

She lowered her gaze slightly, her long lashes trembling, as though deep in thought about something.

Wanqi Yanghong withdrew his gaze and bowed perfunctorily to Han Yong’an: "No need for Your Majesty’s concern."

The Wanqi Family has been loyal to the Royal Family for over a century, following Han Yong’an’s orders for years, yet they never imagined such a heartless person would exist, shifting all Royal Family actions onto Han Yixuan.

She is a Princess, Han Yong’an’s daughter, born from the legitimate wife’s womb, of noble descent.

Without Han Yong’an’s nod, how could Han Yixuan have massacred the Yin Family?

Wanqi Yanghong recognized Han Yong’an truly for the first time, utterly shameless!

His words were perfunctory, and Han Yong’an narrowed his eyes, sizing him and Gu Jin up repeatedly.

He quickly realized something, and curled his lips into a cold smile: "The Wanqi Family has lived less wisely over the years. Can a girl with just a little skill compare to the Royal Family once they are in danger? She’s backed only by the Xuanji Sect, how could she protect you?!"

Han Yong’an knew the Xuanji Sect had strong relations with the Darwin Family, but also understood that once the Darwin Family formally intervened in national affairs, it would face UN sanctions.

They often acted recklessly, but on certain matters, they had to maintain boundaries.

Before Wanqi Yanghong could speak, Gu Jin interrupted: "No need for your worry!"

She revealed two red elixirs she held, enough for everyone present to see clearly.

Gu Jin looked down at the elixirs in her hand, speaking calmly: "These are good, although not top-grade, their effect is similar to that of top-grade elixir. Those who consume them will be influenced by their effect for life, and the effect is immediate."

"What do you intend to do?" Han Yong’an’s sharp eyes narrowed, his tone lowered, and his hand at his side gently clenched.

He had a vague sense of foreboding.

This sensation was very subtle.
