Chapter 146
Liu Min was dragged by the man behind her to the entrance of the alley in the green park, which was also a small garbage recycling station near Zhiliang Hospital.
The woman's white skirt was covered in dust on the ground, her hair was disheveled, and she was struggling frantically in a messy manner.
Because of fear and terror, tears soon welled up in her eyes. She wanted to call for help, but her mouth was tightly covered by the person behind her.
Her daughter was also picked up by the fat man who came out from the corner and her mouth was also blocked.
"Brother Long, do you want to teach this woman a lesson first?" The fat man looked at the tall man standing aside and lighting a cigarette slowly, and asked in a flattering manner.
Pan Haolong squinted his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette. "No need. Let's wait until your sister-in-law comes."
"Oh yes, let her go a little, I want to chat with this Miss Liu."
The younger brother who controlled Liu Min knew the rules very well. Before letting him go, he whispered a warning.
"If you dare to yell and attract others, we will throw your daughter to death. Do you hear me?"
Liu Min was so scared that her whole body couldn't stop shaking, and she nodded obediently.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she began to cry:
"What do you want to do? I have money, I can give it to you, please don't hurt me and my daughter."
Pan Haolong didn't say anything, but smiled at her, trying to look kinder. However, he looked ferocious, and Liu Min shrank her neck in fear.
"The child is very cute, she looks like her father."
Liu Min was stunned for a moment, thinking that this person had a grudge against Tang Xiuping and had kidnapped her, so she quickly explained:
"You've got the wrong person. I'm just Tang Xiuping's mistress. I'm not his legal wife!"
"It's useless for you to kidnap me. Apart from giving me money, Tang Xiuping doesn't care about the life and death of my mother and me. Please let us go."
Liu Min begged desperately, and in order to protect herself, she was even anxious to cut off ties with Tang Xiuping.
This caught Pan Haolong off guard, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Humans are truly amazing animals. When they are in different environments, they will take on different forms and show their ugliness.
Pan Haolong smiled. He took the child from the fat man's arms. Seeing Liu Min's obviously nervous expression, he touched the little girl's head.
"But Tang Xiuping loves this child very much, and this is his only child, isn't it?"
Liu Min froze in place, speechless. Xiaoxiao was indeed Tang Xiuping's only child.
If his wife had not been infertile, he would not have been able to take the position. Knowing this, Liu Min doted on the child.
If something happened to Xiaoxiao, how would she explain it to Tang Xiuping?
Thinking of this, Liu Min couldn't stop her tears from falling, and she choked up and said:
"Please don't hurt the child, she's only three years old! If you have any problems, come to me, the child is innocent!"
Hearing this, Pan Haolong nodded in agreement.
"The child is indeed innocent, but this matter is still about the child."
"W-what?" Liu Min didn't quite understand and asked blankly.
Pan Haolong didn't say anything because Xue Yingying came.
Xue Yingying came in a hurry and didn't even have time to change out of her white nurse uniform. She avoided the attention of others and jogged all the way here.
As soon as she arrived, she saw Liu Min kneeling on the ground with an extremely embarrassed look on her face, and the child with a red face crying. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
Pan Haolong hugged her and the two behaved intimately.
Liu Min was completely stunned. It took her a while to realize that these people were brought by Xue Yingying. She cursed in disbelief:
"Xue Yingying, you bitch! You're a shameless hen that can't lay eggs! Does Xiuping know that you're cheating on me?"
"If you dare to hurt Xiaoxiao, I will never forgive you!"
Xue Yingying's face gradually turned pale under her insults.
Pan Haolong frowned and signaled to his younger brother with his eyes.
The next second, Liu Min's face was slapped crookedly.
The woman screamed, and five red finger marks suddenly appeared.
"How do you want to deal with her, baby?" Pan Haolong held Xue Yingying's hand, looking very relaxed.
Xue Yingying hesitated for a moment. She was weak-willed and originally just wanted to teach Liu Min a lesson and force him to leave Wuming Town.
But now, Liu Min was like a mad dog barking non-stop, constantly insulting her.
Even though her face was swollen and her mouth was bleeding from being beaten by the man behind her, she still stared at Xue Yingying with hatred in her eyes.
"Tang Xiuping isn't here, bitch, how dare you pretend to be so innocent?"
"You're not divorcing him, so you're just trying to drag me down to death, right? Hahaha, do you think I'll let you do what you want?"
Liu Min thought about how she felt every night alone in an empty room and being ignored by men. She had a daughter, but she was still an insignificant person.
Because Tang Xiuping already had his own wife, she was just a tool for giving birth to children.
"Do you know that you are the third party?" Xue Yingying couldn't help but shout out, "You destroyed my marriage with Tang Xiuping, you destroyed a family!"
"How dare you scold me?"
Liu Min laughed, "Did I destroy your family? Without me, Tang Xiuping would have other women!"
"You know the reason, right? Didn't you already know it, bitch?"
"You are the bad guy who destroyed an originally happy family. Why don't you want to get a divorce?"
Liu Min's face was filled with resentment, which made Xue Yingying take a step back.
"Xue Yingying, do you know why you can't have children?" Liu Min suddenly showed a strange smile on her face.
Xue Yingying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Because you are not worthy of being a mother! Xue Yingying, you are not qualified to be a mother. You are not worthy, you are not worthy!"
Liu Min laughed crazily, venting her resentment and jealousy for being ignored by Tang Xiuping for so many years.
"God is punishing you, bitch! You will never be able to have your own children in this life!"
Xue Yingying was completely frozen in place, her face ashen and pale.
She looked at Liu Min's crazy appearance, as if she was looking at a ghost crawling out of hell, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The hardships of life did not defeat her, and even the cheating of her husband, with whom she had loved for many years, could not crush her.
But every word and sentence Liu Min said was like an extremely sharp knife, cutting into her heart.
The child is her lifelong pain, but Liu Min says she is not qualified to be a mother.
Xue Yingying was completely hurt. She strode to Liu Min and pulled the woman's hair. The hatred in her eyes was no less than that of Liu Min.
"How do you know I'm not worthy? It's God who didn't give me this opportunity!"
"You don't have the nerve to lecture me! Who are you! Who are you!"
Xue Yingying's outburst was very fragile. She only pushed and hit Liu Min a few times, then she lost all her strength and sat down on the ground, her face covered with tears of pain.
The child's heart-wrenching cries made her dizzy. Even until Pan Haolong pulled her up, Xue Yingying was still in despair and helplessness.
"You're too hard on me. Hit me."
Pan Haolong looked at Liu Min expressionlessly and said coldly.
After hearing Yu Xi's order, the two thugs showed no mercy anymore and punched Liu Min hard.
The woman's screams of pain came one after another, each one weaker than the last.
The two thugs continued to beat Liu Min until she begged for mercy and called for help.
"Could it be... that someone was beaten to death?" Xue Yingying belatedly realized and grabbed Pan Haolong's hand.
The man didn't say anything, but just held on tightly, staring at the dying woman lying on the ground.
Those bloody desires and impulses are difficult to suppress unless they are controlled with all one's strength.
"Are you afraid? If you are, I will tell them to stop." Pan Haolong maintained the last bit of his rationality.
Xue Yingying was about to yell at him to stop when the child who was tied up beside her suddenly touched his neck with both hands, looking like he couldn't breathe.
The child stopped crying. Even though Liu Min's eyes were swollen and her vision was blurred, she still noticed that her daughter was ill.
She tried to stand up like crazy, and even bit the two thugs regardless of the consequences.
"Get away! Xiaoxiao! Save my daughter! Ahhhh!"
Xiaoxiao's asthma flared up, and the medicine they had just bought from the hospital was thrown next to the trash can.
Liu Min stretched out her hand to grab it, but the man stepped on her foot tightly. She cried out in pain.
"No! Please don't!"
"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please! Please!"
"Xue Yingying! Xue Yingying, please save her! The child did nothing wrong! I was wrong! I apologize!"
"Xue! Ying! Ying!"
Liu Min's cry was so miserable, like the last struggle of a dying person.
She looked so miserable. Her beautiful manicure had long been broken, and her face was covered in blood as she crawled on the ground, leaving trails of blood.
Xue Yingying was stunned and subconsciously picked up the bag of asthma medicine.
With this small action, Liu Min's eyes lit up again.
She didn't say anything, but just pointed her finger at Xiaoxiao who was having a seizure.
Xue Yingying is a nurse. Even though she doesn't have asthma, she knows how to use basic medications.
Pan Haolong watched Xue Yingying pick up the medicine and quickly walk towards the child lying beside him, and he came to a conclusion in his mind.
He had bitten the soft flesh in his mouth until it bled, just to restrain Pan Haolong's desire for violence.
He watched all this like an outsider. Although he was in charge of the power of life and death, he did not say a word. His purpose was to know Xue Yingying's choice.
The game is teasing them, but they are also teasing the game.
This is the only balance he can find in the gambler's game, the last line to control himself from going crazy.
Pan Haolong felt mixed emotions, but Xue Yingying's final choice did give him a sense of comfort.
This poor woman lost the right to have children and lost her beloved husband. Faced with the mistress's child, she still chose to save it.
She always had good intentions in her heart. After all, the adults committed the sins, and the children were innocent.
Xue Yingying's hand holding the medicine was shaking. Seeing that the medicine was about to spray into Xiaoxiao's mouth, she hesitated.
Liu Min stared at the scene with wide eyes and let out a final desperate cry from her throat.
"You save her! You're a nurse, you can't just stand by and watch her die!!!"
This sound completely brought Xue Yingying back to her senses. She looked at Liu Min with unprecedented indifference and ruthlessness in her eyes.
Xue Yingying smiled at her and then threw away the medicine bottle in her hand.
Liu Min went completely crazy, and blood mixed with tears covered her dirty face.
"You will die a horrible death! You will die a horrible death!"
"You're all going to hell... to hell..."
Liu Min's voice gradually weakened until it disappeared.
She lay on the ground motionless, her eyes still looking in the direction of her daughter, but there was no light there.
The mother had just died, and the girl's twitching body stopped.
One big and one small, died one after another.
Xue Yingying stood there, her pale face shrouded in a shadow, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.
Her lips, which were bloodless, trembled slightly, and then she whispered:
"This time, I choose to save myself."
She is a nurse and an angel who saves lives, but she cannot save her own marriage or her own life.
There will never be another opportunity like this. It’s all because of my previous weakness that I have ended up in such a ridiculous situation today.
The child is innocent, but all the illnesses are caused by the child.
Xue Yingying knew, she knew better than anyone else.
If Tang Xiuping is not qualified to be a mother, then he is not worthy of being a father.
"Brother Long, that woman is dead."
Two thugs came over. Although their voices were nervous, they were not very scared. After all, it was not the first time they had beaten someone to death.
"Awei and I didn't use much strength, and he died while fighting." The younger brother complained.
Pan Haolong didn't say anything, and the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.
He never expected that Xue Yingying's final choice would be like this.
Neither adults nor children were saved.
The cigarette had burned out long ago, leaving a cloud of ash on the man's chest.
Pan Haolong blinked his sore eyes and brushed them away as if nothing had happened.
"If you die, then die."
Then he looked at Xue Yingying, who had no reaction and must have been numb, and frowned:
"Child...."
Xue Yingying seemed to have guessed what he was going to say and interrupted impatiently:
"You are not God, and you cannot judge my guilt."
"You are not me, how can you know the hatred in my heart?"
Pan Haolong stopped talking. He looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly realized that she was completely different from what he remembered.
They all understood that even without Liu Min, their marriage with Tang Xiuping could not be fundamentally repaired.
Even though the child is gone, it does not solve the tragedy of Xue Yingying's inability to have children.
If it was the Xue Yingying of the past, this bloody scene would never have happened.
Any normal person, a normal person with flesh and blood, knows what is the right choice.
However, this scene still happened to Xue Yingying.
Pan Haolong didn't quite understand the reason, but he guessed a little.
Something in the dark infinitely magnified their desires, whether it was grief, love, hate, or anger.
That thing looked complicated, yet terrifyingly simple.
It is so simple that it can be summed up in just two words: human nature.
Pan Haolong felt a chill on his back. What Xue Yingying couldn't resist, he probably couldn't resist either.
After the incident was over, Xue Yingying returned to the hospital alone from the small path, and Pan Haolong also removed the props he used to block the audition.
It would take some time for the bodies of Liu Min and her daughter to be discovered. By the time the police found the murderer, the card game would probably be over.
Pan Haolong had no psychological burden, he was just a spectator. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man standing not far away.
Pan Haolong was stunned, but quickly recognized the person.
"Why are you here?"
Yi Tu's eyes were still fixed on the two corpses, one large and one small, at the entrance of the alley. He did not answer Pan Haolong's question, but frowned and asked:
"Did you get the answer you wanted?"
As soon as he said this, Pan Haolong's face suddenly darkened.
The man didn't answer him, but lit a cigarette first.
"You know what I'm thinking? In other words, are you peeping into my thoughts?"
Yitu did not deny it, but just reminded softly:
"Don't let it convict you."
Pan Haolong was stunned, and his hand holding the cigarette stopped at his lips.
After Yitu finished speaking, he turned and left without saying another word to him.
There is an invisible hand in this card game, controlling their emotions.
He and Jiang Hanyu both committed corresponding crimes, and if others cannot escape, no one knows what will happen next.
Xue Yingying killed two people who should not have died out of selfishness.
This was something Yitu had never expected. Human desires are like ravines that are difficult to fill.
And in the building where they are, there are already too many chilling desires.
After Pan Haolong finished his business, Yi Tu went back to find Jiang Hanyu.
It wasn't originally the man's turn to be on duty that day, so he just came to work to make ends meet.
Jiang Hanyu sat in the office drinking tea, sending a few messages to his wife, and was very bored waiting.
As soon as Yitu arrived, he couldn't sit still and wanted to leave.
The two of them returned home, and it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning when they arrived.
Yitu was not very hungry, so Jiang Hanyu hugged his spouse for a while before going to cook.
Thanks to Kan Xingyuan's identity, Jiang Hanyu successfully lit up the golden finger of a good cook.
He also didn't let Yitu help, but he had to watch over it personally, otherwise he would sulk.
Yitu was so annoyed by him that she had no choice but to stand outside the kitchen and talk to him.
If they didn't know clearly that they were in a card room, they would really think that this was just a simple, ordinary and satisfying day.
The days passed so slowly that they thought they were just part of this world.
After so many days in the card room, Yitu still doesn't have much of a clue, and even living is the main theme here.
Yitu had a hard time guessing, but Jiang Hanyu, who didn't care, really enjoyed it.
"Hey, you said that after so many days, have you achieved your goal?"
Yi Tu suddenly thought of the mandatory tasks for each of them. His target was Shen Xin, and the other was to escape from the town.
And up to now, there is no sign of the second task being completed.
What about Jiang Hanyu? Will he be the target of his mission?
Hearing Yitu's words, the man's hand picking vegetables paused.
Jiang Hanyu's eyes were bottomless, but when he looked at Yi Tu, they were filled with a soft light.
"What do you think? Is there anything I can't accomplish?"
Yitu didn't think too much about it. After all, his spouse was the number one Spade King, and it was impossible for him to fail to complete the ninth-level card field task.
"Are you targeting me?" Yitu smiled at him with gentle eyes.
The man's heart moved, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss his thin lips.
"It has to be you."
