'He's not thirsty. He deliberately did it to disgrace me. Humph!'
Tie Ningshuang was about to smash the teacup onto the ground in anger.
Wu Shan quickly grabbed her arm to stop her, shaking his head. He hinted at her not to act recklessly.
Before Tie Ningshuang spoke, Qin Tian declared loudly at the entrance, "All of you from the Su family, remember my words today."
"If you don't obey my orders, you all will be so doomed in 10 days."
His voice was thunderous, as if he were a god.
At this moment, he looked highly superior from behind.
The hall was enveloped by horror. Dead silence blanketed the house.
"Let's go, Lady Ningshuang," Wu Shan reminded Tie Ningshuang, following Qin Tian.
Their bodyguards followed behind them.
Shortly after, no one was at the entrance.
When the Su family rushed out, they saw a group of black Mercedes roaring away. They disappeared in the dark in a blink.
Only then did they realize what had happened earlier. They exchanged terrified glances.
"No wonder Qin Tian was so arrogant. It turned out he had hooked up with the Tie family," Su Beishan muttered.
He kept wondering about the two demands that Qin Tian had made earlier.
Su Beishan hesitated if he should be responsible for the incident.
He also thought about Su Wencheng's company, which made profits every day and had become a primary income source of the Su family.
He was unwilling to return it to Yang Yulan.
"No worries, Grandpa. I know what happened."
Su Wencheng's words attracted others' attention.
"Wencheng, what do you mean?" Su Wenbin hurriedly asked.
Su Wencheng sneered, "Qin Tian didn't become a friend of the Tie family."
"Forgotten what I said just now? He was bold enough to force Ma Yong to fire two doctors in Wang Bonian's name."
"The medical licenses of Cao De and Li Qiang have been canceled."
"As far as I know, Ningshuang's grandfather has been sick for a long time."
"I guess the Tie family heard the incident and misunderstood Qin Tian had something to do with Wang Bonian. So they invited him to check on the old Mr. Tie."
"They've tried every possible means but can't do anything else."
"Qin Tian even put on an act to ask Ningshuang to serve tea for him. How ridiculous!"
"If the Tie family found he was nothing but a liar, they wouldn't let go of him easily."
His analysis sounded reasonable, sending others into joy.
"Wencheng, you must expose Qin Tian and win Miss Tie's favor."
"If the Su and the Tie families could be united by marriage, it would be a great honor," Su Beishan said excitedly.
Su Wencheng replied, "I will, Grandpa."
"According to my study, Ningshuang looks aloof but is enthusiastic inwardly. In fact, she has a crush on me but is too shy to admit it."
"I promise I will marry her and we will have a child for our Su family."
Thinking that he would marry Tie Ningshuang, a triumphant smile was written on his face.
Since everyone now knew it was just a false alarm, everyone at the banquet became more joyful and lively.
"Grandpa, Wencheng, uncles, and aunts, let's continue to feast."
"Today is the Mid-autumn Festival. We heard the good news about the National Academy of Medicine, and Miss Tie came to our house. We should thank Wencheng for all the good things."
"We must celebrate!" Su Wenbin echoed.
"Exactly! Let's drink."
"To Wencheng, the future son-in-law of the Tie family," others cheered.
Su Wencheng became more complacent, swaggering toward a table, followed by others.
One servant fetched some utensils from the table. Suddenly, he asked in a panic, "What is this?"
"Why do you care? Toss all useless things. Replace them with clean ones."
"I'm going to get drunk with you all," Su Wencheng snapped impatiently. He looked over leisurely.
When his gaze fell on the thing, he shook violently and couldn't utter a word.
Meanwhile, Su Beishan and others also saw the black sign on the uncut cake.
Scarlet words were carved on the sign, which looked like blood, definitely a sign of disasters. Bad hunches rose in their hearts.
"Who sent the gift here? How rude!" Su Wenbin remarked. He was about to remove the sign.
The words were written in the Flourish on the sign, so he didn't recognize it. Since the sign looked delicate, he mistook it as a gift from some family member.
"Don't touch it!" Su Beishan exclaimed. In a trembling voice, he read the words, "Reaper's Gem."
His words shocked others like thunder.
"It's said the owner of Reaper's Gem is the head of a killer organization. Reaper's Gem is just his business card."
"Where the sign appears, there will be a disaster..."
Recalling the rumors, all people at the banquet felt terrified.
They looked around, feeling Reaper ambushing in the dark to end their lives.
The timid ones started sobbing.
"Impossible! Our family has been decent with a good reputation for generations. Why would Reaper's Gem punish us?"
"It must be a mistake," Su Beishan muttered. Although he said so, his eyes were full of horror as he thought of the immoral things he used to do.
"Qin Tian!" Su Wencheng suddenly yelled.
"It must be his trick."
"Don't worries, guys."
"Qin Tian was so bold to force Ma Yong in Wang Bonian's name, so he dared to use Reaper's name as well."
"It must be him."
"Didn't he say he'd give us 10 days when he left?"
"As I know, after Reaper's Gem appeared, the deadline would also be in 10 days," Su Wenbin growled.
"Qin Tian, you damned bastard! I'm not going to let go of you." Su Wencheng's eyes were bloodshot. He turned away and was about to expose him immediately.
Suddenly, his Afghan hound howled miserably and hopped onto the table.
It seemed to be haunted by something, rolling and wailing in pain. Shortly after, blood oozed from its eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The dog died.
Its blood was sprayed onto Reaper's Gem, making it more terrifying.
All people were shocked by the weird scene and believed Reaper's Gem was real.
They realized the punishment had started.
The dog was the first one to die.
They wondered who the next one would be.
"Is Qin Tian the legendary Reaper? Wencheng, we shall ask him for mercy."
"You deceived Aunt Yulan and stole her company. Hurry! Return it to her," Wang Mei yelled in a panic.
Su Yukun added, "Dad, who has pushed Su Su off the nursing house? Please tell Qin Tian!"
