Tang Li Yue's fingers twitched once. It didn't escape Lu Chengran's eyes but he chose not to interfere.
Tang Li Yue breathed out.
"No."
Bai Ruolan's eyes widened at the answer that was different than what she expected. Tang Li Yue leaned back.
"No, I will not kill you."
Relief broke across Bai Ruolan's face.
Tang Li Yue continued in a cold tone, "You are being expelled."
The relief that just showed up in Bai Roulan shattered. She frantically shook her head and looked up at Tang Li Yue.
"No. No. You can't! Those people are out there!" She said almost hysterically.
"Yes."
"They'll kill me!"
"Possibly. My condolences in advance."
Bai Ruolan stood so fast the stool toppled.
"You can't do this! I didn't kill anyone!"
Tang Li Yue's face turned sharp, eyes squinting at the woman in front of her.
"Neither did Liang Wei and Ma Shun before you sent them toward disaster."
"I didn't send them!"
"You did."
Bai Roulan desperately denied, "No! I didn't. I really didn't."
