Xin Zaozao felt a little cold.

So cold she was shivering.

So, Mu Cidian was always like this. Whenever she thought that he had changed a bit, was less aggressive, or even when she thought he was compromising with her, that’s when he struck back twice as hard. It always caught her off guard.

Yan Quan was never going to harm her. So she believed that the breakfast he brought her every day was safe! But Mu Cidian knew that the only person in the entire corporation she trusted was Yan Quan. So he disguised his deceit and fooled Yan Quan! She truly never considered that anything was wrong with the breakfasts, and she ate them for a long time. She had been eating them for so long without any reactions, she simply did not think that the breakfast could have been the problem, thus, being lethargic these past two days, she chalked up to working overtime. She never thought it was something she ate, especially not the breakfast!

She was really filled with hate.

Hate that sapped her of her strength.

Mu Cidian was truly formidable, every move he made seemed to always catch her by surprise. Whenever she thought he might change, even when she truly thought he was changing, that’s when he would deal a crippling blow!

It was the same at the last engagement banquet, and it is the same now!

Can she never win against Mu Cidian in this lifetime?!

She does not believe it!

Her eyes narrowed and the malicious aura that suddenly emanated from her face showed an intense hatred that was undisguised.

Indeed.

Mu Cidian is definitely the one most capable of hurting her!

At any time and at any place, as long as he wishes, she can be tortured to within an inch of her life!

She bit her lower lip to control herself and to hold herself back.

“That’s right, I like you just the way you are now!” The man suddenly became excited and his disgusting laughter echoed in the room, “You should be ruthless to those who are unkind to you. You should make those who are unkind to you suffer a miserable death!”

“Uncle, you’re right.” Xin Zaozao nodded.

The man’s laughter grew even more lewd.

“I shouldn’t show them any mercy, they have done me wrong. I should retaliate and make them endure the torment they have put me through! I won’t be satisfied until they are dead!”

“Yes!” The man kept nodding his head, “Yes, not satisfied even when they’re dead. Even after they’re dead, we should mutilate their corpses. Let them never find peace in the afterlife!”

At that moment, it seemed like Xin Zaozao completely agreed with the man’s viewpoint.

The hatred was prominently displayed across her face.

She said, “Uncle, let me go.”

The man hesitated for a moment.

“First, let me go. I won’t run. I need someone like you to help me seek revenge! You just promised to help me kill Mu Cidian and Wan Quan. You are my benefactor; I can do whatever you want. I have always been fighting alone. I can’t do anything about Wan Quan and Mu Cidian, I can only rely on you!” Xin Zaozao spoke with an earnest expression.

The man looked at her, not entirely convinced. “Do you really think that?”

“Yes.” Xin Zaozao nodded in affirmation, without a doubt.

The man kept staring at her for quite a while longer.

He nodded, “Alright, I’ll set you free, but you can’t run, Uncle is fierce. Even if I like you, I might still hurt you if you don’t cooperate. You must listen to me, and Uncle will help you get your revenge.”

“Don’t worry Uncle, my biggest wish this life is to take revenge on Wan Quan and Mu Cidian! I would be overjoyed to have someone help me, I won’t do anything to you!”

The man was very satisfied.

He stood up, looked around, and went to the kitchen to get a shiny cleaver since he had used a dead-knot to tie her up before.

Xin Zaozao watched this play out with a bit of fear.

The man looked at her and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle won’t hurt you, as long as you behave.”

Xin Zaozao nodded.

She watched as the man, who was holding a cleaver, untied her hands and feet.

Once free, Xin Zaozao didn’t dare make any rash moves.

The man still had the cleaver in his hand, and with one slip of attention, he could bring it down on her and she would truly be dead.

She was afraid of death. All living beings fear death, and what she feared even more was the fact that Wan Quan and Mu Cidian were still living their lives carefree!

She clenched her teeth, her body slightly shaking, but she kept trying to control herself.

The man still carried the knife, brandishing it casually as he wiped it on his body. He said, “Do you know? This is the cleaver I used to dismember my ex-girlfriend’s stepmother and stepbrother. The feeling was exhilarating. Uncle will let you do it with your own hands next time!”

The thought of that scene made Xin Zaozao feel nauseous, but at this moment, all she could do was nod.

“Zaozao, you wouldn’t believe how much I loved my girlfriend, we were deeply in love, we had even pledged to share our lives together. I couldn’t believe how evil her stepmother and stepbrother were. I didn’t see it coming at all. The news I received on my wedding day was that my girlfriend had committed suicide.” The man’s eyes suddenly grew red, and he started to lose control of his feelings.

The cleaver in his hand was swinging back and forth.

“Now, it’s fine. I’ve found you. You are my girlfriend, you are the reincarnation of my dead girlfriend. I will love you dearly in the future, I will avenge you, I will make you happy,” he said wildly, “Don’t be scared, I won’t hurt you, I’ll treat you really, really well…”

“I’m not scared of you.” At that moment, Xin Zaozao even managed to force a smile, “I should be grateful for you, I’m not afraid of you, I even understand you. I know what you’re going through. You killed your girlfriend’s stepmother and stepbrother. They got what they deserved. You don’t need to feel guilty.”

“I knew that you could understand me. I knew that you were the only one in the world who could truly understand me. Those people didn’t understand, they didn’t know the magnitude of the disaster I’ve been through, they didn’t know how much pain I’m in. So, I came on my own, I dealt with everything on my own!” He said emotionally.

Xin Zaozao stared at the kitchen knife, swinging uncontrollably in the man’s hand in front of her.

She said, “Can you put down the knife?”

Her voice had a flirtatious tone to it.

The man seemed to just realize that he was still holding the weapon.

“I’m not scared of you, but I’m afraid of what’s in your hand…” said Xin Zaozao uselessly, her voice soft.

The man hastily threw the knife to the side, “Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. See, I’ve thrown it down, haven’t I?”

“Thank you.” Xin Zaozao’s smile was attractive.

The man was stunned for a moment.

He really loved Xin Zaozao. Ever since he found out about her family situation, he swore to help her kill the damn relatives, which was why he always stayed close to her. However, she never noticed his existence! He fell asleep every night thinking about her, day after day, without finding the opportunity to take her to his side.

Today, he finally got his wish.

Looking at Xin Zaozao in front of him, the excited, repulsive, dirty, and sly grin on his face was deeply engraved in Xin Zaozao’s eyes, like an incessant nightmare.

But at that moment, she did not move.

What Xin Zaozao was thinking was, she wouldn’t just lose her life for some virtue, it wasn’t worth it, it wasn’t worth dying like this.

Maybe Wan Quan and Mu Cidian were waiting for her to commit suicide out of shame.

But she wouldn’t.

She would endure, she would bear all that happened until she killed Wan Quan and Mu Cidian with her own hands.

If they didn’t die, she definitely wouldn’t die!

She gritted her teeth and sucked it up.

She reasoned, nothing was more important than staying alive. Once you’re dead, everything is gone, all the grievances and resentments would be gone.

So, she shouldn’t die.

She couldn’t die…

However.

She was still nauseated.

Finally, she exploded in silence.

She kicked the man right in the body.

With great force.

The man was caught off guard and was kicked down under the bed by Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao grabbed her tattered clothes, not even thinking before rushing towards the door.

However, as soon as she reached the doorway.

Her clothes were ripped off. The next second, the man’s muscular arm blocked her, and he dragged her back!

Xin Zaozao’s heart-wrenching screams echoed in the room.

Mu Cidian drove like a madman to the address Liao An gave him.

This was the most run-down area in Jin City. The area was currently undergoing redevelopment, but a few holdouts had stalled the progress and because it was certain that rebuilding was needed, many people had already left. This left only a few households behind and the place seemed particularly desolate and ruined, like a wasteland.

Mu Cidian opened the car door and quickly ran into the small alley.

His abdomen was tearing apart, but he seemed to have stopped feeling it.

His soaked clothes were already indistinguishable whether it’s from blood or sweat.

He ran up the stairs towards Liao An’s building, madly pressing the button for the outdated lift.

But the lift didn’t move.

Without wasting any time, Mu Cidian bolted for the emergency stairs next to him.

He managed to reach the 12th floor in one breath.

His breathing was erratic, and he felt dizzy several times, with everything in front of him turning black.

He was enduring, constantly taking deep breaths to control his emotions.

He rested for no more than a dozen seconds.

He entered the deep, dark corridor.

The light in the corridor was dim, making it hard to see. Each step he took made the surroundings feel eerily imposing.

Sweat was dripping down Mu Cidian’s forehead, falling to the ground, drop by drop.

He scanned both sides, looking for room numbers.

This place was rundown, the room numbers were long gone. The residents were mostly the old-fashioned type, with over ten families living along this corridor. He could only eliminate them one by one.

He told himself to stay calm.

Those rooms with thick layers of dust on the doors were definitely unoccupied.

He passed by each door, continually touching the doorknobs. If there was a significant amount of dust, meaning that no one had lived there for a long time, then it definitely wouldn’t be Liao An’s home.

So he searched like this, calmly and methodically.

He had just checked the fifth home.

That moment, he froze.

All of a sudden, a woman’s voice, loud and clear, echoed through the corridor.

It was Xin Zaozao’s voice.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he dashed towards the source of the sound.

He was thankful that the poor soundproofing of the old building allowed him to know that Xin Zaozao was still alive.

As long as she was alive, everything would be alright.

Everything would be alright, just as long as she lived.

The redness in his eyes faded instantly.

He stared at the door in front of him.

He could hear the frantic screams from inside, coming out in waves.

Without thinking, he kicked the door open with all his strength.

The door was an old-fashioned security door, so worn out that its quality had deteriorated. It took Mu Cidian three ruthless kicks to kick it open.

He rushed in, into the room.

And that’s when he saw Xin Zaozao.

He saw her, disheveled on the bed, looking terrified at the man in front of her.

In that moment, she looked horrified to see him too.

He didn’t know how she felt towards him. Was there hatred, anger, desperation… His heart ached as he glared at the man in front of him, the man who had risen from the bed dressed only in an ugly pair of boxers.

Mu Cidian could only imagine what Xin Zaozao’s scream had been about.

He looked at the man in front of him.

As expected, it was Liao An.

At this moment, he was without his wig, his face no longer concealed.

Mu Cidian’s body quivered with rage when he saw the scene before him.

His emotions trembled uncontrollably.

“Are you here to die?” The man glared at Mu Cidian, sneering coldly, “Are you here to die?!”

A bloody smirk was present on his face, directed towards Mu Cidian.

Without a second thought, Mu Cidian rushed forward, swiftly grabbing a chair and smashing it towards the man.

The action was too swift.

Even though the man was well-trained, he didn’t react in time, and the chair hit him hard.

Ignoring the pain in his body, his veins bulging in a terrifying way.

He stepped forward and brutally kicked Mu Cidian in the stomach.

In the stomach.

The pain almost made it impossible for Mu Cidian to stand upright.

He glared furiously at the man in front of him and, seemingly oblivious to the pain, he charged again! As he rushed towards him, the man picked up another chair, didn’t hesitate, and landed it hard on his head.

The pain had become numb.

Mu Cidian glared at the man in front of him with bloodshot eyes. Blood started to drip down his forehead once again, making him look terrifying.

He tried hard to keep his eyes open, he couldn’t just pass out now.

He had to get out of there with Xin Zaozao.

Today, he had to get Xin Zaozao home safely.

He struggled to stand up.

The moment he managed to stand, his body trembled and he fell again. With continuous struggling, the man fiercely kicked him, knocking him down once again!

And then another chair was slammed down on him. 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝖒

Mu Cidian’s vision started to blur in and out of darkness.

But…

In the end, he still fell down.

The man looked disdainfully at Mu Cidian, his cold laughter echoing, “Good, just in time to die. It’ll be the first gift I give to Xin Zaozao.”

Having said that.

The man picked up a kitchen knife that was thrown on the floor.

He walked towards Mu Cidian step by step.

His cruel face showed no sign of emotion, killing was as commonplace as slaughtering a dog to him.

He raised his arm, the kitchen knife held high.

“No!” Xin Zaozao suddenly called to him.

She then suddenly embraced him from behind.

The man paused for a moment.

Xin Zaozao said, “I beg you to come over…”

The cold-blooded man suddenly smiled at this moment.

He set the kitchen knife aside on a nearby cabinet, figuring that with the state Mu Cidian was in, he wouldn’t be able to get up anytime soon. Maybe when he checked back later, he would already be stiff dead.

He turned around and gripped Xin Zaozao, taking her away.

Xin Zaozao glanced at Mu Cidian lying in the pool of blood.

She swallowed, there was a hint of redness in her eyes.

She didn’t know what emotions she could feel towards Mu Cidian at the moment, whether she hated him or truly despised him!

She just coldly watched him lie there, covered in blood, motionless.

She looked back.

She knew that this time, there was no escaping.

If Mu Cidian hadn’t barged in earlier, everything might have already happened.

She was suppressing her feelings.

She just watched this man, watched him as he gave her a sleazy, devious smile.

Xin Zaozao closed her eyes.

A tear rolled down her cheek.

She thought, once all this was over, she would exact revenge, and it would be even more brutal. This was the only belief that supported her will to survive.

The only belief that allowed her to continue living!

However…

What she expected didn’t happen.

All she felt was, some kind of liquid, some kind of warm liquid, falling on her face.

She abruptly opened her eyes, seeing the man in front of her staring at her in disbelief and brutality.

The blood trickling from his neck, drop by drop, fell on her face, or maybe, it was Mu Cidian’s blood.

All of it fell onto her face.

Just like that, she stared blankly, watching the scene unfold before her.
