"Oh, so there's another one here." Chen Dachuan glanced at Xiao Hongling, then turned to Xing Zhaozhao with a smile and asked, "You'd be heartbroken if such a pretty girl were gone, wouldn't you?"
Xing Zhaozhao's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Chen Dachuan with hatred: "If you dare to touch a single hair on her head, I'll kill you."
Chen Dachuan chuckled, still not taking her threat to heart: "If you don't want anything to happen to your three children, then obediently listen to me and go get a rope to tie Fu Lan up. If you keep dawdling, I might accidentally break your son's neck if I get impatient."
As Chen Dachuan spoke, he tightened his grip on Hongfei's neck as a warning.
Hongfei frowned in pain, his face turning pale, but he bravely remained silent.
Xing Zhaozhao was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. She hurriedly cried out, "I won't dawdle anymore, don't hurt him!" After saying that, she quickly went to find a rope and tied Fu Lan up.
Seeing Xing Zhaozhao's trembling and obedient appearance, Chen Dachuan laughed triumphantly: "That's more like it. As long as you behave, I definitely won't make things difficult for you." As he spoke, he indeed loosened his grip on Hongfei's neck slightly.
Hongfei let out a long sigh of relief, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his pale complexion slowly returned to normal.
Seeing this, Xing Zhaozhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced warily at Chen Dachuan, and while he wasn't paying attention, she secretly tied a slipknot while binding Fu Lan, and then stuffed one end of the rope into Fu Lan's hand.
Fu Lan was trembling with fear when she suddenly felt Xing Zhaozhao put something into her hand. She froze and instinctively gripped it, afraid of accidentally giving herself away. She sat there with her head down, not daring to move an inch.
Fortunately, Chen Dachuan's main target today was Xing Zhaozhao. Seeing that Xing Zhaozhao had already tied up Fu Lan, he quickly put her aside and no longer paid her any attention.
Chen Dachuan then had Xing Zhaozhao find a few more ropes and tied up Hongfei and Hongyu as well, then casually threw them onto the kang (a heated brick bed) so they could keep their sister company.
Finally, Chen Dachuan twisted Xing Zhaozhao's hands behind her back and tied her up as well.
Xing Zhaozhao initially tried to struggle a bit.
Chen Dachuan leaned close to her ear and warned, "Think about your three children..."
Xing Zhaozhao froze instantly.
Chen Dachuan chuckled smugly, sniffing Xing Zhaozhao's neck like a dog. His hot breath hit Xing Zhaozhao's neck, making her feel nauseous and giving her goosebumps. She instinctively turned her head to avoid him, but Chen Dachuan forcefully pressed her back down.
After abstaining for half a month, Chen Dachuan was now filled with lust and could no longer suppress it. He held Xing Zhaozhao tightly and said, panting heavily, "Serve me well, or I'll kill all three of your little brats."
After saying that, he threw Xing Zhaozhao onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and while unzipping his pants, he leaned over to press down on her.
"Wait a minute." Xing Zhaozhao raised her foot to stop him.
Chen Dachuan's eyes were already bloodshot, and he said viciously, "Still waiting? Don't you want your three little brats dead?"
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Chen Dachuan pleadingly: "Whatever you want to do, I don't want my child to see it. Can you let them out?"
Chen Dachuan paused, then muttered impatiently, "Troublesome." Surprisingly, he didn't object to Xing Zhaozhao's actions. However, he didn't bother moving the three little ones out; he simply grabbed a blanket, covered them up, and then eagerly pounced on Xing Zhaozhao. "Is it okay now?"
Xing Zhaozhao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she kicked him hard in the groin.
"...!!" Chen Dachuan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He clutched his badly injured lower body, his eyes bloodshot, glaring hatefully at Xing Zhaozhao, gritting his teeth and cursing, "You filthy bitch, you're asking for it." Then he lunged at her again.
Xing Zhaozhao kicked him in the shoulder again, knocking him over. In the instant he fell, she used her scissor legs to lock his neck, locking it tightly and pressing him down hard.
For the first time, Chen Dachuan felt this oppressive power from a woman. He felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, and a look of panic finally appeared on his face as he struggled desperately.
Xing Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and continued to lock herself in place.
She knew that if she let her guard down and Chen Dachuan got away, none of her family members, including Fu Lan, would survive.
Rather than risking so many lives, let him die alone; consider it an act of eliminating a scourge for the people.
With a "clang," as Chen Dachuan struggled, his foot accidentally kicked the winnowing basket that Fu Lan had placed on the kang (a heated brick bed) to store needles and thread. The basket overturned, and a pair of scissors fell out, landing not far from Xing Zhaozhao and Chen Dachuan, within arm's reach.
Chen Dachuan suddenly stopped struggling. His bloodshot eyes stared at the scissors for a moment, then he slowly raised his eyes to look at Xing Zhaozhao, his eyes flashing with resentment.
Xing Zhaozhao glanced at the scissors, then at Chen Dachuan, and her heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling and immediately tightened her legs.
Sure enough, the next moment, after a brief rest and regrouping, Chen Dachuan began another round of even more intense struggle. While struggling, he desperately reached for the scissors. He was so close, so very close. If he had gotten them, everyone in the room would have died.
Chen Dachuan was like a fish on a chopping board, making a final, desperate struggle.
The final, desperate struggle was still incredibly powerful. Xing Zhaozhao used all her strength, but she could barely restrain him. She watched helplessly as Chen Dachuan's hand slowly reached for the scissors, almost touching them. Her heart leaped into her throat. If he actually reached the scissors, it would be a huge problem, especially since her hands were tied and she couldn't exert any force.
Nearby, Hongfei and Hongyu, tucked in the blanket, heard the commotion outside but couldn't see what was wrong with their mother. They struggled frantically, calling out, "Mommy, Mommy..."
Little Hongling also started crying loudly, "Mom...Mom..."
Xing Zhaozhao was sweating profusely with anxiety. She watched as Chen Dachuan's hand moved forward again, then snapped onto the scissor handle. Her heart sank. Oh no, this is it.
Chen Dachuan also looked up at Xing Zhaozhao, grinning maliciously: "You're finished, you bastard..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xing Zhaozhao tightened her grip on his neck again, and Chen Dachuan was so gripped that he almost stuck out his tongue. He felt like he was about to ascend to heaven, so he quickly hooked his finger, trying to grab the scissors into his hand.
Just then, a slender hand suddenly reached out from the side and grabbed the scissors that Chen Dachuan had almost snatched.
Chen Dachuan was taken aback and turned to look at the owner of the hand, only to meet Fu Lan's resentful eyes.
Oh no. Chen Dachuan felt a chill in his heart and raised his foot to kick Fu Lan.
Without a second thought, Fu Lan picked up the scissors and plunged them into his heart.
Chen Dachuan's pupils contracted. He tried to struggle again, but his neck was tightly locked, and he couldn't breathe at all. His struggles became weaker and weaker until they stopped completely...
The huge room was filled with only the heavy breathing of Xing Zhaozhao and Fu Lan.
It took Fu Lan a while to come to her senses. Looking at her blood-stained hands, her face turned deathly pale, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. She looked at Xing Zhaozhao and said, "Sister Xing, I...I...I think I killed someone..."
Xing Zhaozhao's expression was also grim. Seeing Fu Lan's panicked look, she managed to force a smile and comfort her, "No, it has nothing to do with you. I killed him. You just helped me. Besides, he harmed so many people, he deserved to die. Come on, help me untie the ropes."
"Oh." Fu Lan looked at Xing Zhaozhao in a daze, nodded, and went over to untie her rope.
After being untied, Xing Zhaozhao kicked Chen Dachuan aside and tried to get up from the kang (a heated brick bed), but unexpectedly, everything went black and she almost fell off the kang.
"Sister Xing?" Fu Lan was startled and quickly went over to help her up, asking worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Xing Zhaozhao shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted, I'll be fine after a rest." She can't afford to collapse with so much going on at home.
