Chapter 226: Darling, Don’t Dirty Your Hands
Xu Xian stared at her with a complicated expression, his mood unchanged.
"You are really not afraid of death."
"What am I afraid of? It's just a life."
Zhai Jin didn't see any anger on her face, and he felt unhappy.
Why did she remain indifferent even after she had used all her tricks and gambled her life?
She glared at Xu Xian fiercely, gritting her teeth and saying, "You didn't hurt me? You hurt me by marrying Jiang Shibai. My family background, education, and everything else are obviously better than yours. Why can't he see my existence and choose you?"
"Why do you have a father and mother who love you deeply and treat you well with all their heart and eyes, but I don't?"
"You have all their love. I'm jealous of you and wish you were dead. If your mother died, I could get what I want and suffer with you all."
"In the final analysis, it was your existence that killed her. It was you, Xu Xian, who hindered my happiness and led to the situation today."
As she finished speaking, as she expected, Xu Xian's face showed a bit of sadness that was hard to conceal, as if he really agreed with her words.
Seeing this, Zhai Jin's scarlet eyes were filled with pride.
Xu Xian's cold fingertips trembled slightly. She closed her eyes in pain, and opened them again amid Zhai Jin's crazy laughter. Her eyes were clear and calm.
She knew that Zhai Jin wanted to see her heartbroken and let her spend the rest of her life in self-blame, but she didn't want to do as she wished.
Did she think that a few words of provocation could make her lose her self-control?
Zhai Jin was trembling with anger. The wind blew, and the coolness soaked through her wet dress. Unwilling to continue to irritate her, she said, "You know what? I didn't tell your mother that you were drugged. When she saw you shamelessly get into Jiang Shibai's car, which was emitting abnormal frequencies, how horrible was her face?"
"She kept muttering 'Xianxian is not that kind of person', but I told her over and over again that you did whatever it took to get into Jiang Shibai's bed, just for—"
Without waiting for her to finish, Xu Xian slapped her on the right cheek and knocked her to the ground again.
Zhai Jin screamed, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She spoke to herself, "She reached out to me, wanting me to save her. I told her your daughter is a rotten bitch who did whatever it took to get to the top, and she immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground."
"You didn't see her disappointed and sad look. That's because she's disappointed in you, hahahaha..."
How could Zhang Wan bear the shock that the daughter of a prominent teacher was a promiscuous woman?
Xu Xian didn't know which word in her words irritated him, and all the blood rushed to his head. His usually clear eyes turned frighteningly red, a bloodthirsty red.
Without saying a word, she pulled Zhai Jin's messy long hair and pushed her head directly into the lake. Zhai Jin struggled subconsciously, and the two bodyguards on the side grasped her struggling limbs with a glance.
Xu Xian completely lost his mind and had only one thought in mind: to kill her.
"Aren't you afraid of death? I'll make your wish come true."
The dangerous voice was cold and silent, like the judge of hell making a decision.
Whenever she thought about how it was because of her that her mother lay in the ICU with her life or death unknown, and how it accelerated her death, she wanted to cut her into pieces.
She showed no mercy and pressed her entire head into the lake, leaving no room for Zhai Jin to struggle.
Gradually, she felt that Zhai Jin's struggle was gradually weakening.
Water from all directions rushed into her head through her nose, mouth, and ears. She felt suffocated and Zhai Jin subconsciously struggled and called for help, but the lake water did not let her go. It just kept pouring in, swallowing up her air.
Her hands and feet were all controlled and she tried desperately to break free, but it was in vain.
The fear of death can only be realized when it actually comes, not when you simply say the word "death".
At this moment, Zhai Jin suddenly didn't dare to die. The fear of being on the verge of death made her have a strong desire to survive and stimulated unlimited potential. The shackles were embedded in her wrists, and her flesh and blood were blurred.
Her brain slowly lost oxygen, her heart seemed to be about to stop beating, and she could no longer breathe.
She seemed to realize that Xu Xian really wanted to kill her.
I don’t know how long it took, my consciousness became blurred, and scenes of joy, sadness and grief replayed in my mind like a fast-paced movie.
Suddenly, she was pulled out of the lake. Fresh air rushed in through her nostrils and mouth. She gasped for breath and collapsed on the shore of the lake.
The whistling wind carried Jiang Shibai's frightened but still gentle voice, "Dear baby, don't dirty your hands. Calm down. Mom is still waiting for us in the hospital. She is waiting for us."
If Xu Xian openly killed Zhai Jin in Zhai's house today, he would be able to handle the aftermath for her.
But he didn't dare let her really kill Zhai Jin. The murderous intent in her heart had swallowed up her rationality. What if she really killed Zhai Jin?
He was afraid that when she woke up, she would think of herself as a ruthless executioner and fall into an endless nightmare cycle.
She has always been soft-hearted and didn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone a living life. He was afraid that she would live in regret and fear every minute of the rest of her life.
Xu Xian was held by Jiang Shibai's waist, and the coldness invaded her every limb. Her eyes were misty. Through the blurred vision, she looked at her own hands, and her vision was full of red.
Just now, she could feel Zhai Jin's life slipping away in her palm. Her strength to struggle weakened little by little, and even the splashes on the lake surface became smaller.
She was almost a murderer.
Jiang Shibai didn't dare let her stay in the villa for long. He looked at Zhai Jin who was vomiting on the ground with contempt, left a word to Du Yuanzhou, then picked her up and carried her back to the hospital.
"Yuanzhou, kill them all."
A man without warmth is colder than a hard and cold glacier, like a foreshadowing of death.
Zhai Jin, who had always been indifferent, felt scared at this moment. She didn't want to die again. The feeling of death made her feel scared, and she didn't have the courage to say "It's just a life" again.
She sat on the ground and muttered to herself, "No, you can't do anything to me. This is a society ruled by law. You can't kill me, you can't..."
As she spoke, she tried her best to shrink back, away from Du Yuanzhou who was looking down at her, as if this could give her a sense of security.
But behind her was an unfathomable lake and she had no way to retreat.
Du Yuanzhou laughed with an ambiguous tone, "I've already said I'm a serious businessman, what are you afraid of, Miss Zhai?"
"Besides, isn't Miss Zhai really seeking death? I'm just giving you a ride."
"You can't kill me. If you kill me, public opinion won't let you go. Do you want to go to jail?" Zhai Jin held on with all his strength, his heart pounding.
There are not only the Jiang family and the other three families in Hai City, there are also other forces that want to replace their position. Once someone dies, the other families will definitely make a big fuss about it.
Du Yuanzhou smiled frivolously, "What's the point of killing you? Making someone's life worse than death is the highest level of torture. Send her to Fourth Uncle and tell him to treat her well."
"Yes." The bodyguard lifted Zhai Jin from the ground.
"No, no, you will not die well." Zhai Jin's eyes were full of horror.
She knew who the fourth uncle Du Yuanzhou was talking about was.
Fourth Uncle is his grandfather's illegitimate son, and is called Fourth Master in Hai City. Unlike the Du family who do business honestly, most of his industries are in the gray area, and his influence is mainly in Hong Kong and abroad.
She had heard that Du Yuanzhou was the nephew in the Du family who had the best relationship with his fourth uncle. Once she was handed over to the Fourth Master, the fate that awaited her would be a lifetime of torture in imprisonment, or she would even become a slave.
Worse still, loss of life.
"Noisy." Du Yuanzhou glanced at him coldly.
The bodyguard covered her mouth without saying a word and dragged her into the car.
Before the car door closed, Du Yuanzhou said compassionately, "Don't worry, you won't be lonely. Someone will keep you company."
As he spoke, he glanced at the back seat of the black business car, where there was also a person tied up.
