Before Long Xinyu could answer, she smiled sadly, “I’m sick, and I can’t be cured. They gave me a lot of medicine and injections, but I’m not getting better. I can only live for two more months at most. So, those who owe me, I will make them pay the price. Just on the day I decided to kill Min Jun, you happened to appear and saved that little star. You didn’t save me, but you went to save other women? I was very angry, so I asked Xu Ming to put Min Jun’s body in your car and put a diamond in his head, the same diamond from the ashtray back then. I thought you would remember.”
As she spoke, she pulled out a necklace from her neck. The pendant was a fingernail-sized transparent crystal bottle with many shiny crushed diamonds inside. “I’ve worn it for so many years, but you haven’t remembered it at all!”
“I hate you for breaking your promise, so I asked Xu Ming to kill you. But don’t worry, I won’t let you die alone. I’ll be with you soon, but he—” As she said this, Li Xu pointed at Rao Xian: “He’s too annoying, so Xu Ming is dead too.”
“That day upstairs, you pushed Xu Ming downstairs?” Long Xinyu slowly connected the cases that had happened these days.
“It was me. Xu Ming was injured, and if he was caught, I would be exposed. I still had some things I hadn’t finished, so he had to die!” Li Xu said it easily, as if it wasn’t a human life.
Long Xinyu asked incredulously, “Who is Xu Ming? Why does he listen to you so much?”
“He—he’s just a tool. But after he died, Min Bocai started to suspect me. However, I’m not afraid of Min Bocai anymore. Doesn’t he care about his precious son? I’ll let him see how miserably Min Jun died. I even destroyed Min Jun’s body, blew up his coffin, and burned Pei Lei to death. As a result, that old thing Min Bocai actually had a stroke.” Li Xu shook her head neurotically, laughing, “Seeing him like that, I think death is too good for him, so I added something to his medicine to ensure that he can’t live or die. Just thinking about him suffering, I’m so happy.”
Li Xu’s eyes were filled with a strange excitement.
Long Xinyu felt that this woman was crazy, but he thought of something else: “Did you also arrange the attack on my brother?”
“Otherwise, how could I divert your attention and get you out?” Li Xu said as a matter of course.
Long Xinyu looked at Li Xu and didn’t know what to say for a moment: “…You’re crazy. To take revenge on Min Bocai and Min Jun, you killed so many people, and you didn’t even spare my family?”
“You’re crazy? Do you think I’m crazy?” Li Xu became agitated. “Are you crazy? Do you know how much I hate you? How much I hoped you could save me from despair?”
As she spoke, she stood up abruptly and paced back and forth quickly: “Ever since you saved me… I’ve been paying attention to you everywhere… I know you’re the Long family’s second young master, a noble young man, but I sincerely like you. Over the years, I’ve been working for Min Bocai, always leaving a way out, hoping that one day I could break away from him and stand in front of you to tell you I love you. But I’m sick, I don’t have a chance. My greatest wish in this life is to die with you. You actually said I’m crazy?”
She suddenly stopped and looked down at Long Xinyu: “Why don’t you even glance at me? Why?” As she spoke, she walked back and forth neurotically, muttering, “I can only die like a puppet in this life, then let’s do it in the next life. Let’s start over. In the next life, you must hate me properly!”
As she spoke, she walked quickly to a cabinet, pulled it open, and dragged out two buckets of gasoline. She began to pour it everywhere, saying as she poured, “Let’s die together, let’s start over.”
Rao Xian had been listening and felt that this girl had encountered those beastly father and son, and her experiences were quite tortuous. Listening to her words, she should know that she had a terminal illness, and she was finally taking revenge. But sympathy doesn’t mean he had to be buried with her. He had to find a way to stop her!
Rao Xian didn’t care about the pain in his wound. He moved closer to Long Xinyu and said, “Find a way to comfort her. With so much gasoline, if she lights it, we’re dead!”
Long Xinyu also looked at Li Xu pouring gasoline everywhere. He helplessly said, “Didn’t you hear her say she’s sick? How am I supposed to comfort a sick person?” Also, the head of Wu Xing that Li Xu had just thrown away was facing Long Xinyu, and his unclosed eyes were constantly stimulating Long Xinyu. Long Xinyu’s mind couldn’t react for a moment.
Rao Xian saw Li Xu concentrating on pouring gasoline. The short knife she had just thrown on the ground was some distance away from them, so he whispered to Long Xin, “Find a way to save yourself!”
Long Xinyu: “Huh?”
Rao Xian gave Long Xinyu a look, and Long Xinyu followed Rao Xian’s gaze and saw the bloody short knife, and immediately understood his meaning. So he secretly moved towards the short knife.
But before he could move very far, Li Xu turned her head as if she sensed something.
Rao Xian quickly bumped Long Xinyu with his shoulder. Long Xinyu’s body tilted from the bump, and he said in surprise, “Why did you bump me?”
Rao Xian glared at him: “It’s all me, it’s all because of me that Ye Yuning is hurt, and you’re crippled. These things originally had nothing to do with you. It’s all me. Now you have to die with me. Why?”
Seeing Li Xu looking at them, Long Xinyu understood immediately. He understood and said, “Just because I’m more valuable than you!”
“What are you saying?” Rao Xian bumped Long Xinyu again.
Long Xinyu leaned forward, taking the opportunity to move towards the short knife, while turning his head and saying, “I was born well, and someone loves me. You deserve to take bullets for me—” He was very close to the short knife, but—
“Clang!” Li Xu dropped the gasoline bucket in her hand, walked over, and picked up the knife from the floor.
Long Xinyu swallowed.
Li Xu, holding the short knife, walked to Long Xinyu, squatted down, and reached out her other hand to lift his chin and look into Long Xinyu’s eyes. The distance between the two was very close. Long Xinyu could see himself in her pupils. Long Xinyu was wondering what Li Xu wanted to do when he saw Li Xu lean forward, wanting to kiss Long Xinyu’s cheek.
Long Xinyu hurriedly turned his head to avoid it.
Li Xu didn’t kiss Long Xinyu, and her eyes became dangerous. But who was Long Xinyu? He had a good background and had been spoiled by his father and brothers since he was little. Not to say he was domineering, but he had never suffered any grievances. At this time, although he was under someone else’s control, when he thought that Li Xu had killed Luo Pingping, harmed Ye Yuning, sent someone to attack his brother, and wanted to burn him and Rao Xian alive, he only felt disgusted.
Long Xinyu knew that he should be hypocritical at this time, but when Long Xinyu’s young master’s temper came up, he didn’t care about anything. He said recklessly, “Li Xu, I sympathized with you for being abused by Min Bocai back then, but if I had known you would kill so many people, I definitely wouldn’t have saved you.”
Everyone has a yearning for justice in their hearts. Even if they can’t act on behalf of heaven, they always have to stand up for injustice. Long Xinyu saw Min Bocai beating such a young girl, so he stood up to stop him. But if he had known that Li Xu would kill innocent people indiscriminately, he would definitely not have saved her.
Li Xu seemed to be stimulated by Long Xinyu’s words. She used force to insert the knife straight into the floor in front of Long Xinyu. The force was so great that the knife went into the wood several inches.
However, Long Xinyu didn’t care at all: “My experiences make me want to take revenge. I can understand, but that doesn’t mean you agree.”
Li Xu asked excitedly, “Shouldn’t Min Jun and Min Bocai die? Do you know how many bad things their father and son have done over the years? They deserved to die.”
“Then what about me? You had me attacked, don’t I deserve to die too?” Long Xinyu looked at Li Xu angrily.
Li Xu bit her lower lip, looking at Long Xinyu without speaking.
Long Xinyu looked at Li Xu. She was very beautiful, with an oval face and big eyes. The blood stains on her face couldn’t hide her beauty, but Long Xinyu couldn’t understand the things in her eyes.
Long Xinyu sneered, “In your eyes, I also deserve to die. Aren’t you trying to burn me to death now? You hate the Min family father and son for bullying you, but what’s the difference between what you’ve done and what they did? You hate, you resent, you want to avenge yourself, but according to you, I’m kind to you. Luo Pingping, Ye Yuning, Rao Xian, and my brother don’t know you at all. I don’t know Xu Ming and Wu Xing, but they are willing to kill for you. They must have a close relationship with you. But because of your hate, your resentment, you want all of us to be buried with you?”
Long Xinyu said puzzledly, “I don’t understand. I blame you for not saving me, but I never asked you for help. Although you, Long Xinyu, aren’t some great evil person, you won’t stand by and watch if someone asks you for help. But I haven’t even appeared in front of you. And now, you say you hate me, but is your hate wanting to burn me to death?”
Li Xu’s chest heaved violently, and her lips began to tremble. Long Xinyu didn’t know what she was thinking, only stared at her, waiting for her answer.
After a while, Li Xu was stared at by him and became a little flustered before saying something in a muffled voice. Her voice was almost pressed in her throat. Long Xinyu couldn’t hear clearly. He asked, “What did you say?”
“I can’t ask you for help!” Li Xu’s voice was very low.
This time, Long Xinyu heard clearly. He didn’t understand: “Why?”
Li Xu closed her eyes: “Because you are my last hope. If you are harmed by Min Bocai, or you are unwilling to save me, no one will save me. You are my last hope for survival!”
Long Xinyu didn’t understand this woman’s lingering thoughts, but “I’m sorry!” Long Xinyu suddenly said.
Li Xu thought Long Xinyu was apologizing for not being able to save her, but who knew that Long Xinyu slammed his head against her head.
“Bang—” The two people’s heads collided, and Li Xu fell backward, her head hitting the floor lightly.
Long Xinyu also fell down because of the excessive force, lying on Li Xu’s body. He had hit her too hard, and his head was hurting badly, but Long Xinyu didn’t care about the headache and pressed down on Li Xu with his upper body.
Li Xu was stunned by the collision, but still struggled to push Long Xinyu away.
Rao Xian, who was on the side, quickly moved forward. Because his hands and feet were tied, he could only use his knees to hold Li Xu’s head, trying to knock her unconscious.
Long Xinyu also used all his strength to press down on Li Xu on his body. Li Xu struggled desperately, trying to lift Long Xinyu and Rao Xian away. Long Xinyu and Rao Xian desperately tried to suppress her, trying to subdue Li Xu with their weight, but they both felt that Li Xu’s strength was unusually strong. They couldn’t control her with their strength.
Li Xu, who was being pressed down, struggled to pull out one hand and grabbed Rao Xian’s wound on his leg. Rao Xian felt a jolt of pain.
Li Xu used more force, and Rao Xian was in so much pain that he couldn’t use any more strength. And the effect of force is mutual. Long Xinyu’s head was also hurting from the collision just now. Moreover, their hands and feet were tied, making it difficult to move. Rao Xian also had injuries on his body. Although the two of them used all their strength, Li Xu still used both her hands and feet and, after a few somersaults, broke free from Long Xinyu and Rao Xian’s control. She rolled away from the two, grabbed the knife stuck in the floor, and knelt on one knee on the floor, stroking her neck and coughing, glaring at the two.
The cabin was silent, except for Long Xinyu and Rao Xian’s breathing, and Li Xu’s coughing. The atmosphere was tense.
Long Xinyu and Rao Xian half-lay on the floor, panting. They both felt that they were done for, and felt that Li Xu might kill them at any moment!
The three of them didn’t speak. After a long time, Li Xu slowly stood up with the knife and walked towards the two.
Long Xinyu’s head hurt, and his heart was even more gloomy. He felt that he was going to die this time. He didn’t know if this crazy woman was going to chop him into pieces or slice him up!
Li Xu ignored Long Xinyu and walked straight to Rao Xian, raising the knife…
Seeing Li Xu raising the knife, Long Xinyu moved backward, blocking Rao Xian: “Li Xu, didn’t you want me to be with you? You be with me, you’re willing to be with me, I’ll let Officer Rao go.”
Li Xu asked in an incredibly gentle voice, “You want me to let him go?”
Long Xinyu nodded.
Li Xu smiled: “Then beg me!”
Long Xinyu had never begged anyone in his life, but for Rao Xian, he went all out. He said the words “You beg me” without hesitation.
Li Xu slowly lowered the hand holding the knife. She tilted her head to look at Long Xinyu and smiled: “After so many years, you haven’t changed. You still want to be a hero, but do you know that if you can’t save people to the end, the people you save will only be more miserable.” As she spoke, she pushed Long Xinyu away, with a ferocious smile on her face, and swung the knife towards Rao Xian…
