Chapter 213: Chapter 213: The Madness of Jin Lan
“Knock knock”

“Who’s there?”

Who could it be knocking on her door so late at night?

Qin Youxuan was lying in bed, looking at her reports when she heard knocking sounds from outside. She quickly sat up.

After two eerie knocks, there was silence.

“Am I hallucinating?” she thought. Qin Youxuan pinched herself, got up, and walked to the door, then opened it.

She was stunned to see Jin Lan standing outside.

“What are you doing knocking on my door so late at night?”

“Qin Youxuan, I’m going to kill you”

“You’re insane!”

Qin Youxuan was about to close the door when Jin Lan used her strength to stop it, reaching out and grabbing her by the throat.

“Ah!”

Caught off guard by Jin Lan’s sudden attack as she was turning to close the door, Qin Youxuan was startled.

“What the hell is wrong with you, let go…cough, cough!”

Still holding her throat, Jin Lan dragged her out of the room. Gasping for breath, Youxuan yelled.

Just as she was about to call for help, her voice choked off.

She tried hard to pry Jin Lan’s hands off her.

Breaking free, Qin Youxuan spun around and threw Jin Lan onto the coffee table in the living room.

“Jin Lan, if you’re insane, go see a doctor, and stop taking it out on me! Wanting to kill me?! I’ve dreamt of tearing you to pieces!” She exclaimed furiously, clutching her aching neck.

If it weren’t for not wanting to dirty her hands, she’d have slapped her right then and there.

She’s a crazy woman!

“I’m going to kill you”

Jin Lan had a vacant expression, yet there was a glimpse of ominous intent in her eyes.

She supported herself with the coffee table, her gaze focused on the fruit knife in the tray. Suddenly, she grabbed it and stood up again.

“What…what’s wrong with you?” Qin Youxuan saw Jin Lan charging towards her, the bloodshot look in her eyes made her shudder.

She swiftly dodged, just barely avoiding the knife in Jin Lan’s hand, and then grabbed her wrist.

“Help!”

Noticing something was off, Qin Youxuan yelled as loud as she could.

But her screams seemed to rile Jin Lan up even more and made her movements increasingly aggressive.

The knife was almost at her eyes now. She was pushed against the railing at the top of the stairs, pinned down forcefully.

“Kill you…kill you…”

“Jin Lan, wake up! If you kill me, you won’t survive either!” Qin Youxuan’s face was turning red, her body immobilized under Jin Lan’s weight. All she could do was to tightly grip her wrists.

The sharp knife was inching closer to her eyes, only a fraction away from piercing her eyeballs.

She tried to avoid it, but found herself unable to move.

If this kept up, she would surely be killed by this crazed woman!

Qin Youxuan managed to think quickly and didn’t hesitate to kick Jin Lan away.

“Ah!” Jin Lan was kicked on her knee which made her kneel.

The knife finally left Qin Youxuan’s face.

Watching these developments, Meng Ziqi who was hidden in the shadows felt her heart jumping into her throat.

It was only after withholding the returns of Qin Mo and Jin Chenye and drugging all the servants with knock-out drugs that she dared to give Jin Lan the Spirit Departure Powder.

This ancient Thai recipe turned into a drink would, following its effects, make the subject susceptible to suggestions and render them into a hypnotized state.

They would lose all reason, only remembering their most detested person, and would become a tool for murder.

She had spent a lot of effort to choose this drug.

It was initially intended for Qin Youxuan. Even if she couldn’t kill Jin Lan, she could still be convicted of intentional injury and imprisonment would be inevitable.
