THE FAKE HEIRESS AND HER FIVE VILLAINOUS BROTHERS

Chapter 97

The spiral staircase led to the great hall, where a magnificent crystal chandelier hung from the center of the ceiling, illuminating everything below with its radiant light. A long table made of black marble stood beneath it.

At the front was a stage-like area, concealed by thick, red velvet curtains.

"Ungh!"

Yuan Luoyi heard a young girl's muffled sob from behind the curtain.

The devotees sat on either side of the long table, their eyes wide with excitement, trembling with pleasure, and eager for what was to come. Today, the deity had come in person, and they had to put on a good show!

At the other end of the room stood a chair, pristine white with a plush, cushioned seat, adorned with exquisitely carved blue irises on the armrests.

Yuan Si led Yuan Luoyi towards it, his hands on her shoulders, guiding her to sit upon it.

"I usually sit here," he said. "The view is excellent. I can see the entire hall."

"Smack!"

He clapped his hands, and a female devotee swiftly approached the curtain, pulling it open with force. The red velvet parted to reveal a massive cage, inside which a short-haired girl was imprisoned.

Her body was covered in bloodstains, her frail frame convulsing with sobs. Yuan Luoyi recognized her as Zhang Xunyin, who in high school had been pressured by other wealthy girls to torment Yuan Luoyi. Later, her third brother, Yuan Yong, had captured her and brought her to the Yuan residence, where a horrific massacre had ensued, leaving only Zhang Xunyin and the gym teacher alive.

Recalling the devotee's earlier mention of "defaming the masters' brothers," Yuan Luoyi had a bad feeling.

"Fourth Brother, where are the other brothers?" she asked.

Yuan Si replied, "She would be better suited to answer that question than me."

He approached Zhang Xunyin step by step, his magnificent robes trailing gracefully behind him. He moved with an elegant, handsome, and chilling smile, his lithe body slithering like a python in silent motion.

For someone meeting him for the first time, Zhang Xunyin was momentarily dazzled by Yuan Si's allure—he was radiant and languorous.

However, her reason told her that this was the mastermind behind her abduction, and she recoiled in panic.

"Clang!"

Her back hit the iron bars, producing a jarring sound. Her face was pale, and she trembled.

"Do not worry, my dear," Yuan Si said, his voice as light as a wisp of smoke dissipating in the cold air. "The reaper's scythe has not yet fallen. You still have a chance to leave this place. Now, answer my question."

"Where are my brothers?"

Zhang Xunyin quavered, "I don't know. Someone attacked the Yuan residence and released me and the gym teacher from our bonds, and then they left."

Yuan Luoyi grew tense, realizing what had transpired after her departure.

Yuan Si continued, "So they did not kill you, but instead let you go. What did you do after that?"

Zhang Xunyin shuddered more violently. "I... I went home. I was too terrified these past few days, so I hid."

Yuan Si let out a low, rumbling laugh. "You're lying..."
