☆, Chapter 69
Xiu Yangui slowly blinked his sore and swollen eyes, and the suppressed pain of the whole night disappeared with the rise of his lips.
"Just tell me what you remember."
With infinite indulgence, he gave all the initiative to Xi Mo, allowing her to reveal her shameful past.
Xiu Yangui was unsure what Xi Mo had recalled. Whatever it was, at least at this moment, being able to stand beside Xi Mo and be supported by the young lady he had admired for so long was already satisfying.
Seeing that Xiu Yangui was in a bad state, as if he was almost at his limit and on the verge of collapse, Xi Mo pulled Xiu Yangui's arm with concern. It felt cold and stiff, so she prepared to end the battle quickly.
She turned around and gestured to the bodyguard, who handed a document to Xi Mo.
Xi Mo opened the bag and took out the paper inside. This document was the verdict of Fang Guoxiang from that year. It was only a piece of printed paper, but it made Fang Sai's heart sink inexplicably.
It was just an ordinary piece of paper, which recorded the crimes committed by Fang Guoxiang and the length of his sentence. Xi Mo held up this light piece of paper, and as her hand loosened, the paper floated leisurely to Fang Sai's feet, but Fang Sai did not have the courage to pick it up.
"Do you think that just because you embezzled over a million yuan in public funds, you'll be sentenced to thirty years?"
Fang Sai felt like he had been hit hard by someone. He stood there motionless. It was not that he didn't want to move, but he simply couldn't move.
In fact, he didn't know how his father ended up in prison or how many years he was sentenced to. His mother's mental state had been poor in recent years, and she would curse Fang Xiang and Wu Manlin from time to time.
He was influenced by his surroundings and blinded by hatred. He didn't care what happened that day and followed his mother's footsteps in resenting Wu Manlin and Xiu Yangui.
Xi Mo half-closed her eyes and looked at Fang Sai, who was gritting his teeth, with an indifferent look. She pronounced the verdict mercilessly without a trace of mercy or sympathy.
"The defendant, Fang Guoxiang, is guilty of embezzlement of public funds, rape, and intentional homicide and is sentenced to life imprisonment for 30 years."
Xi Mo's calm words were like a bomb dropped into the sea, its enormous power stirring up thousands of waves. Not only Fang Sai, but everyone in the box was so frightened that they dared not breathe, and could not even scream.
Fang Sai's face turned pale, and his slightly bulging pupils became more prominent, covered with red bloodshot. He stared at Xi Mo without blinking, like a lost soul. He didn't dare to pick up the weightless piece of paper at his feet, and could only be judged by Xi Mo.
"Your father, Fang Guoxiang, adores Aunt Linlin and constantly courtesies Aunt Linlin and Xiu Yangui. The gifts you mentioned were all given by your father on his own initiative and had nothing to do with them. And your father's kindness to Xiu Yangui was also his own doing. So, in this matter, the person you should hate is your father."
"The person who is least qualified and in no position to challenge Xiu Yangui here is you, Fang Sai."
"Aunt Linlin never reciprocated your father's feelings. It was Fang Guoxiang's wishful thinking."
"The information I've collected shows that Aunt Linlin repaid every gift Fang Guoxiang sent with an equivalent amount of money. She never took a single cent from the Fang family for nothing."
"There was no such thing as asking your father to take her abroad, nor was there any false accusation of instigating him to embezzle public funds."
"You are the ones who maliciously distorted the truth and slandered Aunt Linlin."
"In fact, your father had already embezzled public funds to pay off gambling debts. Later, the matter was exposed, and Fang Guoxiang planned to abscond with the money. Moreover, he still had evil intentions towards Aunt Linlin."
"Before fleeing, he committed abusive acts with ill intent."
Xi Mo's tone of voice was flat, but it could not hide the severity of the truth.
Xiu Yangui's body shook, and he felt dizzy and his heart was beating rapidly, causing a dull pain.
He didn't know any of these things; Wu Manlin had never told him.
Xi Mo noticed Xiu Yangui's mood and looked at him, "Aunt Linlin is fine, Fang Guoxiang was unsuccessful, and the police arrived in time."
Then he looked at Fang Sai again, his inky black pupils coated with a layer of cold blue, "Guess why the police car arrived in time?"
"Why is there a charge of intentional homicide among Fang Guoxiang's charges?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the cold figure that seemed weak but was actually powerful. Xi Mo's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it.
"I called the police."
"The person Fang Guoxiang wants to kill is also me."
It was just an ordinary day, and no one would have thought that something like this would happen.
Xi Mo was going to Xiu Yangui's house to retrieve the watch she left there last time, and informed Wu Manlin and Xiu Yangui in advance.
Wu Manlin was not at home that day because she was going out to drink with friends, and Xiu Yangui was not at home because he was going to a classmate's house at school, so Xiu Yangui gave the key to his house to Xi Mo.
Just as Xi Mo walked out of Xiu Yan's room with her watch, she heard a quarrel coming from outside. It was Wu Manlin and Fang Guoxiang.
Xi Mo had only met Fang Guoxiang once or twice, and usually knew him based on Xiu Yangui's description.
In Xiu Yangui's description, Uncle Fang was a gentle and considerate man who never spoke loudly, but the Uncle Fang she heard now was not like that.
"Manlin, Manlin, come with me! Let's go far away. Haven't you always wanted to go abroad? Let's go abroad now, okay?"
"I have money, I have a lot of money, come with me, I will give you money! I can let you live a good life!"
Wu Manlin was still speaking politely to Fang Guoxiang at first, but after being annoyed for a long time, she also became irritable. "Even if I want to go abroad, I won't go with you. There is no possibility for us. Why don't you understand?"
"What does it have to do with me if you have money? I still have money."
"Don't come to my house so often. Aren't you afraid that your wife will be sad? You don't even take care of your own son, so why do you always come to see Xiu Yangui?"
"If you want to leave, go ahead. I won't say it again. Get out of here now."
Originally, Wu Manlin was drinking in a bar. The friend she had made an appointment with didn't show up, so she had to have a few drinks by herself.
At this time, she saw Fang Guoxiang in the bar. It seemed that Fang Guoxiang came to find her and ran straight towards her when he saw her.
In fact, Wu Manlin had long been disgusted with Fang Guoxiang. She was not made of iron and would still feel sad and angry when she heard the rumors in the community. Besides, there was nothing unclear between her and Fang Guoxiang.
So she was about to leave, but Fang Guoxiang kept pestering her and even invited her to drink.
Wu Manlin was not some innocent little girl. Seeing the blueness under his eyes, sunken cheeks, and nervous look, she knew that he had bad intentions.
After repeatedly rejecting him, she remembered that Xi Mo should be at home by now, so she said to Fang Guoxiang, "I don't want to drink anymore. I have children at home. I'm leaving first."
Fang Guoxiang thought that the "child" Wu Manlin was talking about was Xiu Yangui. He had known for a long time that Xiu Yangui was not at home today, and he was convinced that Wu Manlin was lying and that there was no one at home.
Originally, he was annoyed by Wu Manlin's repeated rejections, so he decided to throw away the drugged wine and follow Wu Manlin back to the community, continuing to think about that evil idea in his heart.
However, Wu Manlin did not want to get involved with him any further, so she kept urging him to leave and warned Fang Guoxiang that if he did not leave, she would call the police.
Fang Guoxiang seemed to have gone crazy, and kept hugging her and touching her.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dire, Wu Manlin whipped out her phone to call the police. "Get out of here! Get out of here! Damn it! You beast! I'm calling the police!"
Fang Guoxiang snatched Wu Manlin's phone while rubbing her disgustingly, "No, no, no, Manlin, I really like you! Just follow me, I will treat you well, I will make you happy!"
Wu Manlin had no choice but to rush open the door and go into the house, trying to lock Fang Guoxiang out, but she was a step too late. Fang Guoxiang broke down the door, rushed in, and pushed Wu Manlin to the ground.
The purple, smelly lips kept touching Wu Manlin. Fang Guoxiang restrained Wu Manlin's hands and feet, making her unable to move. "You smell so good, Manlin, you smell so good."
"I haven't been this happy in a long time. How can that yellow-faced woman at home compare to you? You are my goddess. You smell so good."
"I love you, only I love you, I love you so much."
Fang Guoxiang had already lost himself in thought, but Wu Manlin struggled too hard, yelling and shouting, making it difficult for him to move, so he dragged Wu Manlin towards the room.
"Don't you like being on the floor? Then let's go back to the room."
Xi Mo had just quickly hidden in Xiu Yangui's room and was calling the police.
I don’t know what Fang Guoxiang did to Wu Manlin. I can no longer hear Wu Manlin’s cries, but Fang Guoxiang’s disgusting and sticky breathing continues.
Xi Mo couldn't bear to watch Aunt Linlin being violated, so she decided to go out and delay time until the police arrived.
Xi Mo quietly opened the door and looked into the room opposite. Fang Guoxiang did not close the door. He pressed on Wu Manlin and twisted like a maggot. Their clothes were gradually falling off.
From Xi Mo's perspective, she could only see half of Fang Guoxiang's disgusting body and Wu Manlin's gradually fading consciousness.
"Smells good, doesn't it, Manlin? I prepared this specially for you. If you had drunk that glass of wine just now, there wouldn't be so much trouble, and we could have made the most of the time to spend some quality time together as two people."
"Just wait and enjoy it. Since you won't go with me, we have to be a one-night stand. Otherwise, all my efforts for so long will be in vain, right?"
Wu Manlin, breathing weakly, tilted her head and looked past Fang Guoxiang to see Xi Mo standing in the corridor. She tried her best to mouth the words, "... go, go."
Xi Mo would not leave. She wanted to stop this ongoing inhumane invasion.
Xi Mo walked over silently, measured the distance with her eyes, and then used all her strength to smash the phone at Fang Guoxiang, hitting him right on the back of the head. The severe pain made Fang Guoxiang fall onto the bed in exhaustion.
"ah!"
Fang Guoxiang touched his head and stood up grimly. There was no one behind him except the cell phone that fell at his feet. At this time, Fang Guoxiang knew that there was another person in the house.
He stopped violating Wu Manlin, walked out of the room, and saw Xi Mo opening the door to escape.
"Isn't this Xi Mo? Are you here to play with Xiu Yangui?"
"What did you see?"
"It's no use. I've already changed the lock on this door. You can't open it."
It was indeed impossible to open the door, so Xi Mo quickly ran to the living room, faced Fang Guoxiang, and tried to put some distance between them.
The spoiled little girl stood fearlessly, and in her clear and bright dark eyes, there was only his vulgar and despicable figure.
Fang Guoxiang exuded a dangerous and vicious aura. He was desperate and at that moment, the thought that flashed through his mind was to kill the person to silence him. After all, he had already committed many crimes and this one was not a big deal.
Xi Mo originally wanted to negotiate with Fang Guoxiang around the coffee table, delaying the matter as long as possible, but Fang Guoxiang had become so desperate that he had to kill Xi Mo.
The young and naive Xi Mo was no match for Fang Guoxiang. She was caught by him and strangled viciously.
"Die! Die! Die now!"
"Damn you little brat! Is it because of your dad that Manlin doesn't want to go with me? Xi Yicheng is rich! Can your mother keep an eye on him?"
"Tell your father to stay away from Manlin! She is my woman!"
All he could hear was Fang Guoxiang's insane roar. His neck was being strangled tightly, tightened again and again. The oxygen kept disappearing from his body. His vision gradually blurred, and he could only see Fang Guoxiang's hideous face.
Xi Mo struggled, clenching her fists and swinging them at Fang Guoxiang's nose and eye sockets. This was the self-protection method Xiu Yangui had taught her before. It was originally just for precautionary purposes, but she didn't expect to actually use it. It was especially effective at this time.
Fang Guoxiang screamed in pain and let go of Xi Mo. When he stood up slightly, Xi Mo seized the opportunity to roll to the side and hit the edge of the coffee table. She ignored the intense pain and distanced herself from Fang Guoxiang.
After only three steps, she was grabbed fiercely by Fang Guoxiang again. The pain and suffocation came over her again. This was the moment when she was closest to death, but she was not afraid at all, because in this flickering moment, she heard the sound of sirens coming from afar, and the hoarse roar of Wu Manlin who struggled to get up from the bed and staggered out.
"Xi Mo!"
When she lost consciousness and was about to fall into darkness, Xi Mo knew that they were saved.
Although Xi Mo appeared calm and composed, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl. Due to the excessive mental stimulation and the injury on her neck, she stayed at home for almost ten days.
Apart from the fever, she had no other discomfort. It might be that the body's self-protection mechanism was activated. After her body recovered, she slowly forgot this incident, including some other small things, as if a complete small piece of memory was erased by an eraser, with a little edge of other memories.
Not only that, as time went by, she also felt that certain functions in her brain were degenerating, specifically in her increasing dullness in perceiving other people's emotions and feelings.
However, due to her family and personality, she has no friends to confide in, and no one will have conflicts with her, so this defect does not have much impact on her. The only person who has been hurt by her indifference and slowness is Xiu Yangui, whom she wants to protect.
