　　Thank you Anon for the kofi ?

　　"Since it's like this, then let's act, ba," After hearing the news that Sui Yuan had conveyed, Zhao Xihe muttered to himself for a moment before making a decision.

　　"However, it seems that there's something fishy…" Sui Yuan furrowed his brows.

　　"There is definitely something odd about Xin Xin, that is without a doubt. Perhaps we have been misled by some things she had said all this time," Zhao Xihe shook his head gently, "It's still better to go with a Blitzkrieg strategy. We shouldn't let this drag on."

　　——He wasn't at all worried that Sui Yuan would be seduced away by the supporting male lead! For real!

　　Since Zhao Xihe had said this, and because Sui Yuan also wanted to finish their mission as soon as possible so he could free himself of Yue Minghe, the two of them quickly reached an agreement and decisively carried out their movements.

　　Perhaps Xin Xin still had some machinations occurring behind the scenes that were intended to keep her from being watched by her opponents and avoid alerting them. Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe once again deployed their 'despicable' method of drugging people. The person who would do the drugging was Yun Shan, or to be more precise, it was the Yun Shan that was being controlled by Zhao Xihe. Xin Xin was not on guard against Yun Shan so she would be easily able to drug her. Afterwards, Old Master Yun's faithful subordinates would take over.

　　Although there would be some suspicion over why Old Master Yun would act against the Xin Xin he always doted on, they had heard news of the public severance of relations.h.i.+p between Xin Xin and Yun Yi and even as to how ruthlessly she had caused the Yun Family's crown prince to lose face. Perhaps it was because Old Master Yun wanted to teach this younger generation, who wielded his doting love to act arrogant and despotic, a lesson. Or perhaps, there was a deeper level of meaning. The subordinates, who Old Master Yun had taken complete control of, did not raise any resistance. They quickly imprisoned the unconscious Xin Xin and cleaned up everything, removing all traces of what occurred.

　　When Sui Yuan received the news from Zhao Xihe and rushed to the place where Xin Xin was being held in captivity, the woman had already awakened. However, she was being controlled by the prop and had no way of resisting, nor did she have any way of getting in touch with anyone else.

　　"Hao Ning?! Grandpa Yun?! What do you guys want to do?" Xin Xin stared at the two of them with wide eyes, incredulous, using great strength to struggle, "Are you trying to help Yun Yi get out of his predicament?!"

　　"This has nothing to do with Yun Yi," Sui Yuan felt rather speechless towards this girl. Right up until this moment, she unexpectedly did not break away from the plot. Perhaps it was because she was p.r.o.ne to being too immersed in the plot, that she was incited into becoming a Destroyer, "We wanted to seize you because you are a Destroyer."

　　Xin Xin's movements halted. Anger and a feeling of being wronged immediately s.h.i.+fted into that of fear and anxiety. She gasped twice and then quickly shook her head, "No! No! You guys are mistaken! I'm not a Destroyer! I'm just an Actor! I'm being honest!"

　　Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe both furrowed their eyes. This information was not unexpected. It could be said that they had already noticed this.

　　"You're an Actor, discovered the Destroyer's tracks, and then communicated your discovery through your system?" Sui Yuan calmly helped her straighten out her thoughts.

　　Xin Xin nodded promptly, afraid that if she was just a bit too slow, she would be exterminated without any mercy. As an Actor that has already experienced the mission of eliminating a Destroyer, she naturally knew that the meaning of elimination meant that her soul would be scattered. It was a complete annihilation—leaving not a trace.

　　"Then, why did you change the plot and even secretly established your own power overseas?" Zhao Xihe narrowed his eyes slightly.

　　"Because I was not reconciled with the situation!" Xin Xin eagerly answered, trying her best to appear a little more honest, and then some more, "If we encounter a Destroyer, the elimination mission is placed in precedence to the acting mission, to the point where we don't have to worry about acting out our ident.i.ty. I was just not reconciled with becoming a cannon fodder supporting female lead as ordained by the plot—one who ends up extremely battered and exhausted because of the male lead, one who is stuck in a difficult situation who can't live if she wants to, or even die if she wants to. I just want to live an upright, free, and easy life! Even if it's just in this world! I established a company so that I could fight against the Destroyer. There is no other reason!"

　　Sui Yuan's eyes glinted. Xin Xin's words were indeed very reasonable. It was just that, he didn't know why but he felt that something wasn't quite right, "Then, who do you think is the Destroyer?"

　　"It's Yue Minghe! Him!" Xin Xin shouted that name without any hesitation.

　　Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe exchanged glances. They immediately relaxed upon hearing this answer. Yes, Yue Minghe. If it was him, then everything made sense. He was also an important suspect to Sui Yuan and Zhao Xihe before. Only, since Yue Minghe was the Destroyer, why didn't he do anything a Destroyer was supposed to do? That is, aside from his pursuit of Sui Yuan.

　　"We will look into whether you're telling the truth or not. Before that, please quietly wait here. Don't do any superfluous actions," Sui Yuan gazed at Xin Xin once more, speaking in an unhurried tone, "If what you say is true, then naturally, we will not hurt you. As a fellow Actor, we don't wish to accidentally injure the innocent."

　　Xin Xin relaxed slightly. She nodded her head, hot tears in her eyes. A moment later, she added hesitatingly, "Yue Minghe…that fellow is very cunning. He's a smooth talker. If…if he accuses me unjustly in order to protect himself, then I ask that you don't trust him!"

　　"Of course," Zhao Xihe's smile was especially amiable and placating, although the effect was greatly lessened on his elderly face, "The Destroyer is our enemy. We would definitely never listen to the enemy's lies."
