Chapter 127 Mutual Destruction

Xu Yirou's heart sank, but at this moment, the already flimsy door was on the verge of collapse due to Liu Heping's violent kicking and punching.

At this moment, Xu Yirou also understood why Li Aiping and Shao Guoyang had not appeared.

Liu Heping must have already spoken to them about something.

That's why they deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb at this time, ignoring his pleas for help.

"Liu Heping, what you're doing is illegal. Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the police?"

Liu Heping, who was kicking Xu Yirou's door with impunity, sneered after hearing Xu Yirou's words and said, "Xu Yirou, after tonight, you'll be my woman. Then I'll say you seduced me, and even if the police come, they can't do anything to me. Do you think the police will believe whatever you say?"

As he spoke, Liu Heping slammed his foot hard against the door again, shouting arrogantly, "If you know what's good for you, open the door and let me in so I can get some sleep. Otherwise, once I break down this door, I'll fuck you to death..."

Xu Yirou's face was pale; this educated youth settlement was located in the most remote place.

Now that the Gu family has all left, and Li Aiping and Shao Guoyang are clearly unwilling to get involved in their affairs, she is obviously in a state of utter helplessness.

Could it be that Liu Heping is really going to succeed?

A hint of despair flashed in Xu Yirou's eyes.

Looking at the door panel that Liu Heping had kicked open and cracked, and Liu Heping who could squeeze in at any moment.

Xu Yirou screamed, then suddenly raised her hand and smashed the kerosene lamp on the table, spilling all the kerosene onto the quilt. Then she picked up a match and lit it directly.

Looking at Liu Heping with resolute eyes, she said, "Liu Heping, don't think I, Xu Yirou, am easy to bully! Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. Besides, I, Xu Yirou, have never been one to be bullied. If you have the guts, come on in. At worst, we'll both die!"

Without hesitation, she threw the match onto the kerosene-soaked quilt.

Upon seeing her actions, Liu Heping stared in shock, exclaiming, "Xu Yirou, are you crazy!"

"Yes! I'm insane! Of course I'm insane! I should have gone insane a long time ago! How could I not be insane? Hahahaha..."

Xu Yirou suddenly laughed, laughing out loud. The laughter grew louder and louder, almost manic, with an intense, overwhelming sadness in her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, she was the least loved one in the family. Since she could remember, she never knew what it felt like to be full.

Being beaten and scolded was already commonplace for them.

Even her ability to attend school was only possible because she managed to attract the attention of the neighborhood committee, forcing her proud father to send her to school.

I thought that after studying hard and getting a good job through my excellent grades, I would finally be able to change my destiny through my own efforts.

Unexpectedly, his parents forced him to give up his job to his younger sister and go to the countryside as an educated youth in her place.

When she first arrived in the countryside, unlike other educated youth, she didn't receive subsidies from her family and didn't have to worry about going hungry.

Having nothing, she had no choice but to work hard at farm work in order to have enough food to eat, and her hands were covered in blisters.

Every night, they would use a burnt sewing needle to pop the blisters one by one. Even if they were bleeding profusely, they would still pick up a sickle and hoe the next day and work hard for their food.

If that were all, she wouldn't have any resentment, after all, everyone has a hard time living in this era.

But why is it that all she wants to do is live her life honestly and peacefully, yet the malice around her never stops?

From Xie Manman's parents, from Xia Yi to Tong Yaozu, and now Liu Heping, why do they all want to harm her?

All she wanted was to survive, so why was it so difficult?

The cotton quilt, doused with oil, quickly caught fire.

The firelight illuminated the surroundings and gradually spread.

The already rickety door crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

But Liu Heping was too frightened to take another step. He looked at Xu Yirou standing by the firelight and cried out in fright, "Xu Yirou, are you crazy? Come out here!"

"Get out? Heh...you can't get out..."

Xu Yirou sighed softly.

Having decided to start this fire, she had no intention of leaving!

Why do we need to go out?

Even if you leave this room, you can't leave this educated youth settlement.

Even if they leave this educated youth settlement, they can't escape this world of suffering.

Rather than continue struggling in this malicious world, it's better to just burn to death in this fire.

Burn it all to the ground, and that will end it all.

At this moment, Xu Yirou really wanted to ask the old man why he had given her this second chance at life.

Just so that she could bear the suffering she had escaped in her previous life by relying on Gu Yanxiao?

"Xu Yirou, you...you're crazy, you're really crazy! Come out now, I promise I'll never force you again!"

Liu Heping never expected that Xu Yirou, who usually seemed the kindest and best-tempered, would become so crazy when pushed to the limit.

At this moment, he also felt a little regretful. If he had known that Xu Yirou would act this way, he shouldn't have used such a harsh approach from the start.

Instead, we should use a softer approach.

Unfortunately, Xu Yirou was no longer listening to any of this. She simply stood in the room with a calm, almost numb expression, and composedly chose to face death.

Seeing the fire growing larger and larger, Liu Heping dared not delay any longer. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a figure rushing towards him. Before he could see clearly, he felt a pain all over his body, and then he was sent flying into the air and landed heavily on the ground.

"Who goes there?" Liu Heping shouted angrily, his expression contorted with rage.

The next moment, after seeing who it was, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Director Wu... Director Wu..."

How could it be him?

How did he end up here?

"Chief Wu, please don't misunderstand, this fire has nothing to do with me, I just... I just..."

Unfortunately, Wu Yong'an had no time to pay attention to him at that moment.

He shouted loudly into the room, "Xu Zhiqing!"

By this time, the fire inside the room had already begun to rage.

Xu Yirou was lost in her own thoughts, half-conscious and half-asleep.

Looking at Xu Yirou lying on the ground, unresponsive.

Wu Yong'an didn't dare to delay and rushed in, picking up Xu Yirou in his arms.

The moment the girl's body entered his arms, Wu Yong'an was startled.

This is the size of an adult, yet it's as light as a child.

What exactly did this female educated youth go through?
