Chapter 80: A conclusion "The past is full of grievances and grudges, who is right...
"The past, the grudges and grievances, the right and wrongs, have already happened. Revenge is meaningless and of no benefit to either you or me. It's better to be realistic," Li Ci said. "Name your price. A solid sum of money is worse than anything else. I can pretend that what happened today never happened, and I won't bother you again."
"Who do you think we are?" The scarred man gritted his teeth and pointed at the crew-haired man. "The man lying in the hospital is his father, my uncle! You think you can get rid of us with a few dollars? We can't afford to offend the Li family, but since we've done this, we've prepared for the worst. It's worth it to die after venting our anger!"
Li Ci stared at them. "You guys want to vent your anger, and your target is me. There's no need to make things complicated. Bringing a girl along is nothing."
The scarred man smiled meaningfully upon hearing this. "When did Master Li start to reason? It's really surprising."
Lin Xicai was completely frightened by this sudden change, and her whole body was tense and stiff.
She knew that Li Ci had escaped secretly, and she originally thought that the car behind was Li Ci's father chasing him and taking him back. She even felt a little relieved.
But after listening to it, it is obviously not the case.
This group of people seemed to be Li Ci's enemies, and were even more dangerous than Li Ci.
Lin Xicai felt unwilling. Since he was Li Ci's enemy and was targeting Li Ci, why did he involve her now? Why didn't he let her go?
The two were pushed into a modified white van, and several people drove them away. Along the way, Lin Xicai roughly understood what happened.
Li Ci was kidnapped when he was a child. She had heard about this before. Now everything connected. He was kidnapped when he was a child and was locked in the trunk for a day and a night. The leader of his kidnappers was Liu Yinxiang.
Later, Li Ci was rescued by the Li family, while Liu Yinxiang and his group were sentenced and imprisoned, and were not released until two years ago.
Those who participated in the kidnapping case felt that they had been sentenced to prison, punished and paid the price, so the matter was over. But Li Ci obviously didn't think so. This person has always been vindictive and has been ready to make a move outside.
After these people were released, they were tortured one by one, unable to live or die, some were disabled, some were injured, and the ringleader of the kidnapping case, Liu Yinxiang, was even turned into a vegetable.
Those who came to seek revenge today were Liu Yinxiang's next generation, his son and nephew.
But what does this have to do with her?
Whatever is happening now has nothing to do with her!
She had no grudges or hatred against Li Ci, and was just harassed and retaliated against because of an inexplicable look; she had even less grudges or hatred against Li Ci's enemies, but she was implicated and suffered such an unprovoked disaster. What did she do wrong to be toyed with like this again and again?
"Why didn't you leave him a chance to live? He's already been in jail! He's already received the punishment he deserved! Why didn't you let him go?" The scarred man gritted his teeth and said, "Don't feel wronged. If this day comes for you, blame yourself for being too ruthless."
Li Ci looked over. Even at this moment, there was still no panic or fear in those unruly eyes. He even smiled, coldly and disdainfully. "How can a kidnapper complain? I'm the victim. I'll have to decide whether he's had enough or not! Is ten years a lot? That's the crime the law has convicted him of. What does it have to do with me, Li Ci?"
"Fuck you, I'm going to kill you..." The man with the flat head was about to pounce with red eyes, but was caught by the man with the scar.
The scarred man seemed to smile as well, and said in a sinister tone, "Well, you're from the Li family as expected. You're really tough. I wonder how long you can keep this tough streak going."
It was a warehouse, empty with some broken car windows, the air was filled with rust and mildew, and the only light bulb was so bright that it made people dizzy.
Lin Xicai was pushed and thrown aside, and Li Ci was pressed to the ground with his arms tied behind his back. His pale face almost touched the rough concrete floor. His eyes were looking at her, and when their eyes met, he even smiled at her indifferently as usual.
The man with the flat head picked up a steel pipe as thick as his forearm from a corner of the warehouse. He held it in his hand and glanced down at Lin Xicai as he passed by her. He saw her beautiful big eyes looking at Li Ci blankly. He shook the steel pipe in his hand and smiled as if to ask for credit: "You're tied up like this. You must have been bullied by this little scumbag a lot. Watch over your sister. I'll avenge you."
The crew-haired man looked fierce as he walked towards Li Ci, holding the rusty steel pipe in his hand and shaking it in front of him. "My father's leg was broken in the same way, right? I wonder if Young Master Li ever imagined that this day would come."
Li Ci didn't say anything, but just raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly. His eyes were dry and red, but surprisingly bright, like an ice-hardened knife, shooting towards the flat-headed man defiantly.
"Fuck!" The man with the flat head was furious at the look in his eyes. He suddenly raised his foot and stepped on his left knee. "Hold him down!"
Almost in the next second, the steel pipe came crashing down with the sound of wind. Li Ci's body trembled violently, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat. His originally pale face became even paler, but he bit his lips tightly and swallowed back the scream that was about to come out of his throat.
The trouser legs of the uniform trousers bulged at an unnatural angle. Another person took a look and said, "It must be broken..."
"It's broken already?" The man with the flat head poked his injured leg with the tip of his shoe. Li Ci's body tensed up suddenly, his fingertips almost digging into the concrete floor. His fingers trembled violently, but his eyes still did not show any sign of begging for mercy. Instead, they became even colder and colder. He looked at them as if they were a group of jumping clowns.
Then he suddenly laughed, spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is that all you can do?"
"What did you say!" The man with the flat head was choked by these words and his face turned pale. He raised his hand and slapped him. Blood immediately flowed from the corner of Li Ci's mouth. He seemed to be still laughing. His laughter was very low and had a bloody smell, as if he was mocking their incompetence.
Li Ci's reaction successfully angered everyone. They could no longer bear it and attacked him with fists and kicks. Li Ci didn't care about his life and was not afraid of death. He let them punch and kick him without saying a word. He was covered in blood but he refused to make a sound. His eyes passed over those fists and fell lightly on Lin Xicai's face. It was as if a piece of pure land was split out of thin air in his unruly and violent eyes, and they became soft. Lin Xicai read two words from his eyes, "It's okay..."
Lin Xicai closed her eyes.
The body is shaking.
"Damn, this guy is a lunatic!" After punching and kicking him for a while, everyone couldn't help but curse out loud.
He clearly had the upper hand, and the kid was clearly beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back, yet he still felt as frustrated as if he was punching cotton.
It’s boring. If we keep beating him like this, what’s the point even if we beat him to death?
This situation continued until the flat-headed man once again set his eyes on Lin Xicai in the corner. He stared at the slender figure in the corner and walked towards her. He stopped in front of her and suddenly tentatively touched her face with his hand, "Why did you close your eyes, sister? Are you scared or can't bear to leave?"
Li Ci suddenly reacted, his body suddenly struggled, and was forcibly suppressed.
Li Ci stared at his outstretched hand, his voice as if quenched with blood: "Take your dirty hands away!"
The flat-headed man was stunned for a moment, and seemed to suddenly understand his cousin's intention to keep the girl. He immediately became excited, "Oh, so this is the vital point of Young Master Li."
As if deliberately provoking, the flat-headed man rubbed his fingers across Lin Xicai's face, his fingertips sliding down her skin. He looked down at the pretty girl under his command, thoughtfully, "So you're not the victim, but a bitch who hooked up with him?"
Lin Xicai struggled backwards, glaring at him fiercely with a pair of eyes. The man with the flat head felt hot all over and had evil thoughts in his mind after seeing that look.
As if he had suddenly found a new way to take revenge on Li Ci, the flat-headed man's Adam's apple moved. He looked at Li Ci and smiled provocatively, "I thought second-generation rich people like you would only treat others as toys. I didn't expect that even someone like you would care about something. What a pity, such a beautiful sister, let me taste it for you first."
"You dare!" Li Ci's eyes were bloodshot. "If you dare to touch her, as long as I am still breathing to get out of here, everyone present, your relatives and friends, don't even think about escaping."
"Master Li, don't you find it funny when you say that?" The flat-headed man laughed. "You know how ruthless you are, and we know it even better. Let's be honest, when we captured you today, we didn't expect you to escape with your life intact. Do you have any other bargaining chips? Tell me. You're not planning to wait until you die and become a ghost to keep on chasing us, are you? Hahaha, you can try it then and see who's more powerful, you ghost or us villains."
As the flat-headed man spoke, he reached out to tear the tape on Lin Xicai's mouth. Before his fingertips touched her face, the bloody man on the ground suddenly laughed.
The flat-headed man looked over. Li Ci was staring at him straight in the eye. His eyes were sharp as before, but also had some ambiguous meaning. "A bunch of idiots who have never seen the world. What's so fun about women? If you dare, I'll play with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of everyone present, including the flat-headed man and Lin Xicai, were shocked.
The man with the flat head stared at Li Ci blankly, as if he doubted what he had just heard. Li Ci still looked at him steadily, and even raised the corner of his lips, which was dangerous and passionate.
Li Ci was already outstanding in appearance, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a noble air. The handsomeness of a man and the elegance of a woman were combined in one face. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were as charming as silk.
The man with the flat head spat and cursed viciously, his blood suddenly boiling.
He had no interest in playing with men, but was very interested in torturing Li Ci.
The man with the flat head's eyes changed, and he suddenly walked over and pulled the bloody Li Ci up from the ground. "Okay, you're a rich man who's seen the world, right? Fine, if you can make me happy, I won't touch your good sister."
The man with the flat head was dragging Li Ci towards a warehouse when the man with the scar grabbed his arm and shouted, "Enough! He's a pervert and you're a pervert too, right? We're here for revenge!"
"Isn't this revenge?" the crew-haired man said, as if possessed by a ghost. "He was the one who suggested this. I'm going to kill him."
After saying this, the man with the flat head dragged the blood-covered Li Ci to a warehouse nearby. Li Ci was dragged and barely stood up from the ground. Half of his shirt was red. His left leg was broken and he walked with a severe limp.
He seemed unfazed by his situation, glancing at her as he entered and even giving her a reassuring smile.
Lin Xicai had never seen him so miserable.
I have never seen him give such a compromising smile to anyone.
This person has always been hateful. He always tortures others to the point where they would rather die than live, and chases and blocks others so that they have nowhere to escape. This person has always been ignorant of the sufferings of the world, has always been vindictive, has always been arrogant, and has always regarded other people's lives as worthless.
But until this moment, Lin Xicai found that he did not have any feeling of revenge or gloating in his heart.
What she wanted was never a cycle of revenge where one person was worse off than the other. This feeling of being out of control was terrible.
"Hey, she's crying? Brother Pi, is this girl crying?"
"Are you heartbroken?"
At that moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the warehouse.
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and then someone exclaimed, "Why does this voice sound like Xiaochen's?"
"Oh no! We've been fooled by that bastard! Let's go and take a look." No sooner said than done, everyone rushed in. Something seemed to have happened inside and there was chaos.
"Neck, neck, loosen!"
"Open his mouth, open his mouth, Xiaochen! Xiaochen!"
"Damn it, kill him for me!"
"Call 120, get emergency help!"
"If I call for emergency treatment, how do I explain this..."
"It's already this fucking hour. He bit the aorta and his neck is almost broken. Do you want to watch him die?"
At that moment, the warehouse door was broken into from outside.
A group of people rushed in, took a quick look outside, and broke into the warehouse.
A few minutes later, Li Ci walked out with blood in his mouth and body, his face pale, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
All the people inside were forced out by the well-trained bodyguards. The man with the flat head was held by two people. He seemed to have lost consciousness. There was a hole on his neck and blood was oozing out. He looked like he was breathing in less than out.
The scarred man glanced at his brother and immediately lost his arrogance. "Please, take him to the hospital first. Please, please..."
Li Ci had a blank expression on his face. He pulled a knife from the bodyguard and walked towards them with the knife in his hand. There was a bloodthirsty murderous intent in his dark pupils.
The tip of the knife lifted up a man's chin. The man whose neck he had almost bitten off looked as if he had been covered in blood, and his eyes were dull.
He seemed unable to resist doing something. He caught a glimpse of her looking at him from the corner of his eye. He gritted his teeth and raised his chin towards the bodyguards: "Drag them away and wait for me."
Those people were then dragged away. Li Ci threw away the knife and walked towards Lin Xicai with a bloody smell. When he got closer, he squatted down and saw tears on her face. He seemed a little surprised.
The bloody hand wiped the tears from her face, "Why are you crying? Who dares to touch you?"
He squatted in front of her and wiped her tears. His fingertips touched the scorching temperature and he was suddenly stunned. "This is the first time you shed tears for me."
"Is it for me?" he asked. "Or are you scared?"
He suddenly smiled, his tone a little coquettish, "Even if you were scared, you were scared by me, and for me."
