Chapter 418 Desperate Sisters
Gao Dongxu's voice echoed in the room, and every word was like a needle, accurately piercing the nerves of Liu Ruxin and Liu Ruqing.

His tone was neither hurried nor slow, but it caused the two sisters' pupils to shrink suddenly. Liu Ruxin's fingertips trembled slightly, while Liu Ruqing subconsciously clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms.

——How could he know?
This is their biggest secret, a unique skill that their master taught them before his death. Even Old Chaofeng doesn't know that they have mastered the real Thirteen Ghost Needles.

Gao Dongxu looked at their reactions and smiled even more deeply. He knew that he had guessed right.

You know, when he watched the original drama, seeing the two of them giving acupuncture according to the time, and letting Xu Yuan reveal the Xu family's secret Su Ding Lu, he knew that the Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles used by the twin sisters were definitely not ordinary acupuncture methods to treat mental illness, but a real forbidden method!
Liu Ruxin's breathing was slightly disordered. She tried to maintain her composure on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Her eyes subconsciously swept towards her sister, but she found that Liu Ruqing's expression was even uglier than hers. The almond-shaped eyes that were usually smart and cunning were now full of surprise and doubt.

Gao Dongxu walked slowly in front of them, looking down at them with a playful look in his eyes.

"Now, are you still going to deny it?"

Liu Ruxin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Her eyes met Gao Dongxu's, and her voice was low and alert:
"What on earth do you want to do?"

Gao Dongxu smiled slightly and finally revealed his purpose——

"I want you!"

Ruxin and Ruqing both subconsciously shrank back, their pretty faces flushed, their beautiful eyes wide open as they stared at Gao Dongxu and shouted in unison, "Impossible—"

"Haha, why not?" Gao Dongxu looked at the two women and shook his head, laughing. He smiled and said, "In my opinion, nothing is impossible in this world. It's just a matter of whether the price you pay is high enough."

"That's what you think. You want us? Humph, you'd better give up that idea!"

The younger sister glanced at her sister who was frowning and thinking, raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered at Gao Dongxu.

"Haha, I didn't realize that you two are so loyal. Good, very good. I like loyal people." Gao Dongxu looked at his rebellious sister who sneered at him and praised her with a loving smile.

"Hmph..." Sister Ruqing snorted again and reached out to pull her sister Ruxin's arm.

Sister Ruxin recovered from her contemplation, glanced at her sister, then looked at Gao Dongxu, and said with a complicated look: "I believe that with Boss Gao's ability, he must have been fully aware of our situation, otherwise we wouldn't be like this now..."

"Then you really guessed wrong." Gao Dongxu looked at his sister, who had become more calm and composed, and shook his head and chuckled softly. "I really don't know much about you sisters. I just know that you two are assassins for the old Chaofeng and are proficient in the secret technique of Thirteen Ghost Needles."

When the old Chaofeng was mentioned, a strange light and ambiguous expression flashed in the eyes of the two girls at the same time. The sisters looked at each other, saw determination in each other's eyes, and shut up together and stopped talking.

Seeing that the two women were prepared to respond to him with silence, Gao Dongxu did not care. He just lit a cigarette and smoked it leisurely, saying, "It is just as I thought. The old Chaofeng holds a very important position in the hearts of the two of you. I can't convince you with just a few words to betray her and become mine.

However, since I dare to approach you two directly, I am naturally confident that I can win you back."

"Dream on! Wishful thinking! We will never betray you..." Little Pepper looked at Gao Dongxu with disdain and sarcasm, and said in an extremely firm tone.

"Really?" Gao Dongxu smiled noncommittally, then looked at his sister and said with a smile, "Are you so insistent too?"

"Yes, we will not betray." Sister Ruxin said expressionlessly.

"Even if I let you die and lose your freedom forever, you will not betray me, right?" Gao Dongxu teased as he looked at the two sisters who changed color because of his words.

"What do you mean?!" the younger sister glared at Gao Dongxu angrily.

"It's meaningless." Gao Dongxu leaned back on the sofa, looking lazy and comfortable, and smiled faintly: "Since you two are unwilling to be used by me, then you have no value. Since you are worthless, then I can only make use of you and hand you over to the police or the Cultural Heritage Bureau. As killers, you must have done a lot of dirty things for the old Chaofeng, and your hands must be stained with blood. It's enough to sentence you to death.

Even if you're not sentenced to death, you'll likely receive a suspended death sentence or life imprisonment. From now on, you two will completely lose your freedom and spend at least twenty years in prison, separated from each other. You won't see each other for twenty years. If you behave well, your sentence can be reduced. And when you're released, you don't know if Old Chaofeng will still be around. Even if she is, you two will probably have no value to her anymore...

The air in the room seemed to freeze. Gao Dongxu's words were like a blunt knife, slowly and cruelly cutting through the sisters' psychological defenses.

My sister's fingers unconsciously clenched into her palms, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force. Her pupils dilated slightly, and her breathing became rapid and irregular. "You—" Her voice caught in her throat, and her once fierce eyes began to wander, like a trapped animal searching for an exit that didn't exist.

My sister's reaction was completely different. She lay motionless on the sofa, injured, her lashes trembling only slightly as she betrayed her inner turmoil. Her eyes flickered constantly, as if calculating the possibility of escape, or assessing the veracity of the other person's words.

"Sister," the younger sister's voice trembled more than ever before, and she subconsciously leaned towards her sister.

Gao Dongxu admired the sisters' reactions, a satisfied smile curling his lips. He slowly extinguished his cigarette and said with a faint smile, "By the way, when the time comes, I'll also disclose Lao Chaofeng's true identity to the police and issue a nationwide wanted notice for her. The police will credit you sisters for this effort. I'm sure Lao Chaolie will be very grateful to you two..."

The younger sister's face had turned from red to white, and her lips had lost their color. She turned to her sister suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief and horror: "No, you can't do that-"

“That’s enough!” her sister suddenly interrupted, her voice an octave higher than usual. She took a deep breath and turned to Gao Dongxu, “What do you want?”

Gao Dongxu smiled, a smile that sent a chill down the spines of both sisters. He leaned forward. "It's simple. Become mine." His gaze flickered between the two sisters. "Either I send both of you to jail. Or I let one of you go, and the other takes all the blame, claiming to the world that you betrayed Old Scorn..."

The room fell into deathly silence.

The younger sister's body visibly swayed, and she reached out to hold on to the back of the sofa to steady herself. The older sister froze in place as if struck by lightning, a flash of unprecedented fear in her eyes.

"You, you lunatic!" The younger sister suddenly burst out, her voice filled with tears, "We won't let you control us! Sister, we——"

"Shut up!" the elder sister shouted. As someone who stayed by the old court official's side, she knew Gao Dongxu's background and identity, so she had no doubts about his abilities. Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, revealing her inner panic.

Gao Dongxu observed the two sisters' contrasting reactions with great interest. The normally calm and composed elder sister was now visibly flustered, while the usually impulsive younger sister displayed a certain determination.

"Consider my proposal." Gao Dongxu stood up and straightened his suit. "I'm going to the bathroom. You have—" he checked his watch. "Three minutes. If you don't agree, I'll call the police..."

He walked towards the door, then turned back and added, "Oh, by the way, even if the crime of killing a police officer doesn't carry the death penalty, you'll still be living a life worse than death. The uncles will give you special care."

The sound of the door closing was like a hammer hitting the sisters' hearts.

When sister Ruqing saw Gao Dongxu walk into the bathroom, she hurriedly took Ruxin's arm and whispered in a trembling voice with some fear, "Sister, what should we do? I don't want to go to jail." Her voice choked with sobs.

The elder sister mechanically walked over to sit beside her younger sister, and put her arm around her shoulders, only to find that her arm was shaking too. Her mind raced, trying to find a way out, but fear washed over her like a tide, sweeping away all rational thought.

"We've been apart for twenty years." My sister suddenly looked up, tears welling in her eyes, "Sister, I can't, we can't..."

The elder sister's throat tightened as she recalled how they had been adopted by the old court official at the age of ten and had been inseparable ever since. Twenty years of separation? That was more terrifying than death. She squeezed her sister's hand, only to find that both of their palms were equally cold and clammy.

"Calm down," my sister said, forcing herself to speak in a steady voice, even though her heart was beating wildly. "There must be a way."

"What can we do?" My sister's voice suddenly rose. "We are no match for him at all. We can't get out! We are finished!" Her breathing became more and more rapid, and she almost fell into panic.

The elder sister Ruxin suddenly grabbed her younger sister's shoulders and forced her to look into her eyes: "Listen to me, we won't separate, I promise." But even she herself was not sure whether this promise could be fulfilled.

The elder sister patted her younger sister's back, but her eyes drifted towards the door of the room and the bathroom. She kept calculating the success rate of the two people's counterattack. However, when she thought that Gao Dongxu had injured both of them with just one move, she could only helplessly reveal a desperate smile.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two sisters snuggled together, neither of them spoke, because at this time, they were already flustered and confused, and had nothing to say.
