Xiao Chen indifferently stood in place, coldly watching Annie, who was still acting crazily, with no indication to stop her.
Before long, Xiao Chen heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from behind.
The group of people turned and came back.
Xiao Chen didn’t feel surprised, and didn’t even bother turning his head.
Wang Xueke ran out of the dark corridor and immediately noticed how Xiao Chen was still standing in the same spot, motionless, with no signs of fear or evasion, which was quite incredible.
Besides surprise, her gaze was also filled with suspicion.
The look in her eyes was no longer as pure as it initially was.
Like Wang Xueke, Su Lele also clearly noticed this scene. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression changing unpredictably.
However, the most important thing at the moment was to deal with the threat of Annie’s presence.
Duan Aoming couldn’t bear to look at the newly mangled corpse on the ground. He felt sick to his stomach, extremely uncomfortable.
When Annie, who had originally been single-mindedly attacking Du Chonghua, saw the sudden appearance of Su Lele, her attention shifted and her initially lifeless eyes focused again.
She pulled the knife out of Du Chonghua’s body with a sinister chuckle and then crawled up from the ground.
When she got up, her brain suddenly experienced a rush of blood, causing her to stumble a couple of steps and almost fall.
At this moment, Annie had completely lost her humanity, resembling a remorseless demon who would kill without hesitation.
An image of Su Lele dead, with both her eyes wide open and unblinking, had been conjured in Annie’s mind, further fueling her murderous desires. She held the dagger and lunged towards Su Lele without hesitation.
Go to hell, you wretched woman!
However, this time everyone was prepared, not to mention how they outnumbered her three to one.
As Annie charged forward, Su Lele swiftly dodged her, taking advantage of the continued momentum Annie had from jumping at her. Without any hesitation, Su Lele viciously stabbed her personal mini knife into Anne’s lower back and quickly withdrew it.
Anne staggered, her expression momentarily blank, as if she hadn’t realized what had just happened. She looked behind herself, and blood was already gushing uncontrollably.
Finally, her expression changed, turning into that of an enraged lion. She immediately resumed her attack on Su Lele, as if the previous stab hadn’t inflicted much damage on her.
Su Lele kept evading, clearly at a disadvantage.
Duan Aoming was beside her, and at some point had magically retrieved a metal rod from who knows god where. He seized the opportunity to charge towards Annie, aiming at her head. He ruthlessly swung the rod without hesitation.
Annie immediately collapsed from the blow, and as she fell, her body began to convulse uncontrollably. The back of her head had been struck with such force that it created a hole, from which blood gushed uncontrollably.
The dagger Annie had been holding slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. She reached out several times to grab it, but her movements were feeble.
Seeing this, Su Lele rushed forward and used her foot to kick the dagger away, sending it flying far away. Anne lay on the ground, her face covered in blood, features contorted. She looked towards Su Lele.
Su Lele immediately kicked her again, muttering angrily, “You’re so ugly, yet you still have the nerve to glare at me!”

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, who had been watching this entertaining spectacle from the sidelines, silently curled up the corners of his mouth.
After Su Lele had kicked Annie to her heart’s content, Annie was left with only her last breath. She could only lie on the ground with slight convulsions, foaming at the mouth.
Su Lele’s gaze directly turned towards a trembling Wang Xueke, who was standing on the side, holding a knife.
As soon as Wang Xueke locked eyes with her, she looked like a startled rabbit, nearly jumping up, her face filled with fear.
Su Lele let out a cold laugh and said, “Come here!”
Wang Xueke dared not move and stood frozen in place. However, Su Lele seemed to have had enough and, with her foot leaving Anne’s face, she rushed over to confront Wang Xueke.
Wang Xueke was trembling. With her spirit shattered, tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.
Su Lele grabbed her hair like she was holding onto a dog and dragged her over to the nearly lifeless Annie.
Wang Xueke’s eyes met Annie’s, which were full of hatred, disgust, and despair. Her body trembled even more violently.
Su Lele smirked and ordered, “Kill her!”
Wang Xueke suddenly lifted her head, her whole body frozen in place, indecisive.
Seeing her lack of action, Su Lele slapped her across the face, leaving an immediate red mark. She yelled, “Kill her for me!”
Wang Xueke cried even louder, her body convulsing, still too afraid to move.
Su Lele kicked Wang Xueke in the body, causing her to collapse to the ground.
Grabbing her by the hair, she sneered, “If you don’t kill her, you might as well die too!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Xueke’s eyes widened, and her mind instantly cleared. She nodded rapidly, almost shaking her head off with the speed.
Su Lele released her grip on Wang Xueke’s hair with satisfaction.
Wang Xueke got up from the ground, holding the knife, and slowly approached Annie.
Annie had not yet passed away and was still breathing faintly, gasping for air.
Wang Xueke’s hand trembled, her heart raced, and tears streameddown her face. However, she did not hesitate, directly stabbing Annie in the heart.
One deadly blow, and Annie immediately stopped breathing.
Wang Xueke’s body went limp and slumped to the ground. Then, she started sobbing softly.
She had actually taken a life!
Su Lele didn’t have time to deal with the now broken Wang Xueke.
She narrowed her eyes.
In comparison, who she wanted to deal with now was Xiao Chen!
Xiao Chen’s face was hidden behind a mask, making it impossible to discern his expression. It was unclear what he was thinking.
Su Lele slowly walked back to Duan Aoming. When this man saw her approaching, he instinctively stepped back.
Observing his reaction, Su Lele slightly squinted her eyes, a glimmer of understanding in her gaze.
She had seen through this man a long time ago; he was a coward without a backbone in critical situations.
Despite Duan Aoming’s resistance written all over him, Su Lele still approached and embraced his waist.
He froze in place, unable to move, overwhelmed by fear.
Su Lele rested her head on Duan Aoming’s shoulder, and her actions were very affectionate. However, the words that came out of her mouth the next moment were malicious and fierce. “Kill Xiao Chen!”
Duan Aoming shivered again, too afraid to move.
“We are like grasshoppers on the same string now. We three killed Annie, but Xiao Chen hasn’t done anything. If he doesn’t die, we won’t survive!”
Duan Aoming’s lips turned pale, but he didn’t say a word in response to Su Lele’s demand.
Su Lele patted his stiff shoulder with satisfaction, then smiled, her voice extremely soft, “Am I right, darling?”
The term “darling” was what Su Lele often called him in private, and Duan Aoming usually enjoyed hearing it.
But at this moment, hearing her say it gave him a chilling feeling.
Su Lele released her grip on Duan Aoming’s waist, turned around, and locked eyes with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen gazed back at her calmly and took the initiative to speak, stating the facts calmly, “You want to kill me.”
Su Lele smiled without confirming or denying it.
Xiao Chen shifted his gaze away from her and instead looked at Duan Aoming, who was standing behind her. He spoke indifferently, “Do you think that if she kills me, she will spare you?”
Duan Aoming remained frozen in place.
Truth be told, this was his current dilemma. His gaze was somewhat evasive, and he remained silent.
In his eyes, she used to be a bit spoiled and would throw tantrums at most. Where did this behavior today come from?
She had shattered his previous perception of her time and time again!
Shivers went down his spine.
Su Lele sensed Duan Aoming’s wavering and immediately, in a show of vulnerability, embraced his waist, softly sobbing, “Isn’t my current state all because of Annie’s pressure? Don’t you remember how I used to be? Have you forgotten, darling?”
Duan Aoming’s heart softened, and he reciprocated by hugging Su Lele’s waist.
Indeed, Su Lele was his pampered little princess, and he saw her every day. How could he forget what she used to be like?
With this realization, he felt a twinge of guilt, surprised by the unwelcoming thoughts he harbored of her in his mind.
Su Lele buried her head in his chest and, in a hidden corner where he couldn’t see, curled the corners of her mouth. She held Duan Aoming tightly, while her fingers moved upward slowly.
The next moment, Duan Aoming’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked at Su Lele with a mixture of disbelief.
Su Lele, with an emotionless expression, withdrew the knife that had been plunged into Duan Aoming’s back. His blood sprayed out in spurts.
Duan Aoming staggered and took a couple of unsteady steps before collapsing. He died with a look of disbelief, gazing up at Su Lele’s unemotional eyes.
Seemingly asking, why?
Su Lele stared at Duan Aoming’s lifeless body with a calm demeanor, showing indifference.
On the other hand, Wang Xueke was completely stunned, huddled in a corner with a knife in her hand, tears and snot streaming down her face, trembling all over.
Su Lele maintained a calm gaze as she looked at Xiao Chen and smiled, “How about this: you kill Wang Xueke, and we both escape from this together.”
Upon hearing her suggestion, Xiao Chen didn’t immediately refute it. Instead, he lowered his gaze in contemplation, as if he were considering the feasibility of the idea.
Wang Xueke, on the side, widened her eyes and began to sob uncontrollably, as if she had given up all hope of resisting.
Seeing Xiao Chen’s contemplative expression, Su Lele assumed that he agreed to her proposal. She was about to say something when Xiao Chen lifted his head and calmly responded, “Please allow me to decline.”
“You!” Su Lele was frustrated.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Don’t you think it’s more advantageous for me to kill you than to kill Wang Xueke?”
Xiao Chen took a step, slowly approaching Su Lele, who stared at him with wide eyes.
Xiao Chen’s lips curved, and he calmly said, “You want to kill me! There’s someone who might disagree!”
Su Lele didn’t understand and furrowed her brows.
In the next instant, a figure in red materialized behind Xiao Chen seemingly out of thin air.
A man with a chilling presence stood behind Xiao Chen, his gray eyes completely emotionless, staring coldly at Su Lele.
Su Lele felt a chill running down her spine, recognizing him instantly.
It was the man from the painting on the corridor wall!
Su Lele is just dying to die, isn’t she? 
What the hell is wrong with them all.
Thank you for the update.
