The woman dared not utter a sound.

"I just killed your mistress and her whole family, now you're the only one left."

The man pulled something out of his pocket, and the woman's eyes widened in surprise.

The words the man spoke made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Hahahaha, isn't this your lover's finger? Look, he touched you with this hand, so I'll cut off the fingers of his hand."

"Honey, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Think about our son, he can't live without his mother."

The woman tried to awaken the man's conscience with her son, but it seemed to have backfired. The man stabbed the woman in the thigh, and the blood splattered onto his face the moment the knife was pulled out.

"Ah..." The scream sent chills down the spines of those outside who heard it.

"You still dare to mention your son? How long has it been since you went home? If you hadn't been away from home so often and didn't care about your son, he wouldn't have done this, he wouldn't have done this."

The man didn't finish his sentence.

The man grabbed the woman's hair and whispered something in her ear.

"I want you to go down and keep your son company, to atone for his sins. It's all because of you, all because of you."

"Who goes there?" The man was very alert; he noticed Chu Xingyue as soon as she turned to the side.

"Don't move, or I'll kill her."

The man's ferocious expression made Chu Xingyue frown.

"Put down the knife in your hand." Chu Xingyue, who was crouching down, slowly stood up after the man noticed her.

The man squatted on the ground, holding a knife to the woman's neck. The woman trembled and covered her thigh.

There was already a pool of blood on the ground.

"What business is it of yours how I discipline my wife? Get the hell away from me, or I'll kill you too."

The man was currently in a berserk state, and Chu Xingyue wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from him. However, he had a hostage in his hands, which made Chu Xingyue have to reconsider her actions carefully.

The sound of running footsteps came from outside. Chu Xingyue frowned. "At this time?"

"Make way, make way, the police are handling a case."

The noise outside made the man inside tense up instantly. The knife against the woman's neck had already gone several inches deeper into her neck, and blood was already flowing down her neck.

"Don't move, stand up. If you don't stand up, I'll shoot."

Where did this brute come from? Can't he see what's going on?

Isn't this provoking men?

The man didn't stand up, but just squatted there with one leg crossed over the other. Chu Xingyue's eyes narrowed. Had this man been a soldier?

At this moment, Chu Xingyue knew that if this matter was not resolved properly, the pressure from public opinion would erupt.

"Don't get agitated. Let's talk things out. I know you don't want to go through this either. Tell me what's wrong, and I'll do my best to help you. I promise."

"A guarantee? Hahahaha, a guarantee? What guarantee do you have? Do you know what I've been through?"

“I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I believe you’re a kind person, and this is definitely not what you meant.”

Chu Xingyue reached into her shirt pocket.

"What are you doing? Put your hands down." The man was now like a frightened bird; even the slightest movement could enrage him.

“I’ll show you my identification. You can see I don’t have any weapons in my hand.”

Chu Xingyue threw the baseball bat in her hand in front of the man.

"Who are you? Show yourself right now..."

"Shut up."

Chu Xingyue's reprimand interrupted the policeman's sudden opening of the door.

Chu Xingyue's gaze was like a pair of sharp swords piercing into the eyes of the policeman who was speaking. His chilling gaze made him swallow the words he was about to say.

Can I show you my ID?

"If you dare to play any tricks, I'll slit her throat."

Seeing that the man was starting to relent, Chu Xingyue took out her ID from her jacket pocket.

The man froze the moment Chu Xingyue pulled out her ID, and tears even welled up in his eyes.

He used one hand to scratch his hair a few times.

Chu Xingyue saw the struggle, reluctance, and sadness in the man's eyes.

While the man was distracted, Chu Xingyue showed her ID directly to the police officers outside.

"I believe you, but I can't go back. I don't want to, I really don't want to, but I can't help it, I have no hope left."

The man's dim eyes gradually reddened.

"You can go back. Put down the knife. You must live up to your former identity."

The laughter, "Hehe, hehe," was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

In that moment of hesitation, Chu Xingyue strode forward and struck the man directly in the face. Her body's subconscious reaction always outpaced her brain, and in that instant, Chu Xingyue found an opening. She grabbed the man's wrist, which was holding the knife, and twisted it backward. The intense pain caused the man to release his grip.

The man was subdued by Chu Xingyue the moment the knife fell to the ground.

The woman, who had just escaped danger, immediately screamed.

"Arrest him quickly, he's a murderer..." Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xingyue chopped him unconscious with a single chop to the neck.
