Hearing Xiao Ying’s words, Ximen Jin, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at her.
“You remember it?” Ximen Jin stood up.
Xiao Ying turned around and looked at Ximen Jin. “Tang En asked the bodyguards to blindfold me and bring me to the dungeon. Although I couldn’t see, I could smell it.”
“I smelled the scent of lavender. There should be a large patch of lavender on that island.” As if thinking of something, Xiao Ying’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I remember that Tang En likes lavender a lot. Did your brother plant it for him?”
Ximen Jin pursed his lips. “I’ll check.”
Half an hour later, Ximen Jin found out that there was indeed an island in the Ximen family that had a large patch of lavender planted there.
Without delay, Ximen Jin immediately arranged for a helicopter to bring Xiao Ying over.
When they arrived at the island, Xiao Ying walked into the villa.
Seeing the familiar decorations, her tensed heart relaxed a little.
That’s right. Tang En had brought her here!
There were only two servants and two bodyguards in the villa.
Seeing Xiao Ying suddenly coming over, the servant who had served Xiao Ying said respectfully, “Miss, why are you here suddenly?”
Before Xiao Ying could say anything, Ximen Jin walked in.
Ximen Jin was wearing a black leather jacket, his arrogant and handsome face was dark and menacing.
Seeing Ximen Jin, the bodyguards immediately went forward, wanting to subdue him.
Ximen Jin scoffed coldly.
It seemed like these useless slaves were all being controlled by Tang En.
Ximen Jin kicked one of the bodyguards who was coming for him to the ground. Xiao Ying also started fighting with another bodyguard.
There were only two bodyguards on the island. With Xiao Ying and Ximen Jin working together, the bodyguards were not their match.
Soon, the two bodyguards were subdued.
Ximen Jin raised his leg and stepped on the face of one of the bodyguards. He said with a dark expression, “Tell me. Where did Tang En detain my brother?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s not that you don’t know. You’re asking for a beating!” Ximen Jin said and was about to raise his hand when Xiao Ying stopped him.
Ximen Jin frowned at Xiao Ying. “Why are you stopping me? These people won’t shed tears until their end is near!”
“They won’t betray Tang En so easily.” Xiao Ying glanced at the two maids and pointed at one of them. “Let’s start with her!”
The maid whom Xiao Ying was pointing at was so frightened that she shivered.
“Miss, I haven’t offended you. Why are you starting with me?”
Xiao Ying walked in front of the maid and grabbed her hand, glancing at her ring finger. “There’s a ring mark on your ring finger and the bodyguard that Long Ming stepped on has one too. It means that you two are a couple. Since he’s stubborn, we’ll start with his woman. Let’s see how long he can remain stubborn for.”
Hearing Xiao Ying’s words, Ximenjin cursed in his heart.
This woman was really ruthless when she wanted to be!
Xiao Ying took out a sharp dagger from her leather boots and pressed the maid’s fingers on the table.
“Which finger should I start with? The ring finger!” Xiao Ying sighed, looking regretful. “It’s a pity that you won’t be able to wear a ring in the future!”
The maid was so frightened that her tears and snot flowed together, her legs trembling.
“M-Miss, don’t…”
Xiao Ying had no expression on her face as she raised the dagger, wanting to cut the maid’s finger. The maid screamed in fear, “Ah Zhong, tell her!”
The bodyguard who was being stepped on by Ximen Jin said with a dark expression, “I’ll talk. I’ll talk.”
Ximen Jin let go of the bodyguard and pulled him up from the ground. “Where is my brother being held?”
“He was indeed locked in the dungeon before, but he was taken away later. We don’t know where he was taken to.”
With a bang, the bodyguard’s face was punched by Ximen Jin.
Xiao Ying pulled Ximen Jin and looked at the bodyguard with a frown. “Take us to the dungeon.”
The bodyguard brought Xiao Ying and Ximen Jin to the dungeon.
It was indeed where Xiao Ying had been locked up for two days.
It was empty inside.
Ximen Chang was indeed not here.
Xiao Ying looked at the bodyguard. “You really don’t know where he was taken?”
The bodyguard shook his head.
Ximen Jin grabbed the bodyguard’s collar and said angrily, “Do you believe that I can throw you and your lover into the sea to feed the fish now?”
Xiao Ying looked at the fiery Ximen Jin. “It’s true that he might not know.” Then, Xiao Ying looked at the bodyguard. “Think about it carefully. What did Tang En say before you brought Ximen Chang out of the dungeon?”
The bodyguard lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before he replied, “He seemed to have said something about letting that person live a life worse than death!”
Ximen Jin’s expression turned ugly.
This Tang En really hated his brother to the core!
However, there was once his brother had video-called him while he was drunk and had mentioned Tang En. His brother had said, “As long as he listens to me, I won’t be so ruthless to him. Why doesn’t he listen to me? Why does he have to make me angry?”
From his brother’s words, he could feel his brother’s special feelings for Tang En.
Ximen Jin let go of the bodyguard and left the island with Xiao Ying.
Along the way, Ximen Jin remained silent.
He looked at the clouds floating outside the porthole and seemed to be talking to himself, but seemed to be addressing Xiao Ying. “My brother had to be strong since he was young because my father was not valued in the Ximen family. We brothers were bullied since we were young. He liked Tang En because there was once a little boy who saved him and fed him water when he was drawing his last breath.”
“My brother values friendship and loyalty. In order to not let me be tortured and hurt, he always protected me. He endured all the pain, difficulty, and torture himself. He did not let me get involved in those bad things. After he gained some power and authority, he sent me abroad and let me study in the best schools.”
“Even when the war between our family broke, he did not let me know about it even though he was in great danger. He was abroad all year round, so I had little contact with my brother. He did not tell me anything. I was even jealous of Tang En and felt that Tang En was more important than me in his heart.”
“When Tang En disguised himself as my brother and came to find me, I had my suspicions too, but he disguised himself very well. I thought that my brother had changed. He even used my parents’ lives to threaten me. I had no choice but to follow his plan.”
“It was only when the Burmese King contacted me and told me that this person was not my brother but Tang En that I found out that I had been used.”
Ximen Jin let out a long sigh. “It’s my fault that Mei’er’s is unwilling to forgive me.”
Xiao Ying looked at Ximen Jin’s depressed side profile and wanted to say something, but she said nothing in the end.
“Since you’ve already made your choice, don’t regret it. The most important thing now is to find your brother!”
Ximen Jin shrugged, a bitter smile appearing on his handsome face. “You’re right.”
