Chapter 3066 — The Plot Exposed
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
On any ordinary day, Feng Tianqi would have had no interest in looking at Dongfang Xiaocui's phone, but today, perhaps because his mood was restless, he somehow found himself picking it up as if possessed and reading the message on the screen!
"Understood, little sister. I've long wanted to send men to deal with her. Ruo has taken a fancy to her, so I'll have Ruo lead men to deal with her—play with her first, then finish her off!"
The person who had replied was Dongfang Xiaocui's eldest brother, Dongfang Jinxing, and "Ruo" referred to his younger son, Dongfang Buruo. Feng Tianqi also knew that his elder son, Dongfang Bushu, had died during the trial at the Xuandan Sect, but he had little dealings with the Dongfang family and had not asked further.
At this moment, however, Dongfang Jinxing's message left Feng Tianqi somewhat puzzled. Who had Dongfang Buruo taken a fancy to? Who was he going to deal with? What did "play with her first, then finish her off" mean? Driven by curiosity, Feng Tianqi read the earlier messages between Dongfang Xiaocui and Dongfang Jinxing—and no sooner had he read them than cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and fury blazed in his eyes. Those earlier messages filled him with boundless rage!
For the earlier messages showed Dongfang Xiaocui begging Dongfang Jinxing to send men against Xu Shilan, and moreover asking him to dispatch a host of experts at Earth rank and above to deal with her. This left Feng Tianqi drenched in cold sweat!
"Dongfang Xiaocui!" Fury blazed in Feng Tianqi's eyes. Few as these messages were, they settled a grave matter. Feng Tianqi's desire of moments before vanished like smoke. He had always felt utterly indebted to Xu Shilan, and as the young heir of the family, he could not even let her return to the Feng family or reclaim her ancestry—how stifled and bitter he was!
Now that Feng Tianqi knew Dongfang Xiaocui meant to do away with Xu Shilan, his fury knew no bounds. He had already failed to care for Xu Shilan, failed to give her a father's love, and had even caused her to be separated from her mother since childhood, her mother's fate unknown. All of this was painful enough for Feng Tianqi—how could he possibly endure what had happened today?
Just as Feng Tianqi was seething with rage, Dongfang Xiaocui finished her bath and stepped out of the bathroom. She had no idea that Feng Tianqi had already learned of her scheme to have the Dongfang family assassinate Xu Shilan, and she said to him tenderly, "Tianlin, it's your turn to bathe. I'll be waiting for you in bed!"
"Waiting? Waiting for my daughter to be killed by you?" Feng Tianqi said coldly.
"Tianlin... you... what are you talking about? What do you mean, your daughter being killed?" Dongfang Xiaocui was startled, her face turning somewhat pale, but she stubbornly argued, "Tianlin, I don't understand what you're saying. Didn't we agree to be intimate?"
"Dongfang Xiaocui, don't play innocent with me. These are the messages you sent yourself—do you deny it? Do you want me to pull them up and show you personally?" As he spoke, Feng Tianqi flung Dongfang Xiaocui's phone before her and said coldly, "I've seen the messages between you and your brother Dongfang Jinxing. Are you still going to argue?"
