"Yes, it's true. She saved my life. If I really had to die, I would take her place. Anyway, I have no ties. There's no difference between being dead and alive."
"Fifth Brother, I... I don't need you to do it for me. This is between Liang Xiaoru and me, and I need to resolve it myself."
Yi Yi wasn't afraid of death, but she had many things she couldn't bear to leave behind. She couldn't bear to leave Guo Guo, Mu Mu, Li Ma, and Ma Mao... But if this was her destiny, she could only accept it calmly.
The man didn't answer, but walked straight to Yi Yi's side, grabbed her arms and examined them carefully.
"What, what are you doing...?" Yi Yi was somewhat afraid of this person. He was different from Lao Wu. Lao Wu was only cold on the outside, but after getting to know him, you would find that he had human touch. But this man, with his gentle appearance, seemed to be wearing a thick mask, or rather, a human shell. His inner self was the most cold and unfeeling part.
When he just looked at her like that, she felt a chill run through her.
The man's pupils suddenly contracted, his cheek muscles twitched, he released Yi Yi, then quickly turned his head and punched Lao Wu hard, knocking him to the ground.
"Fifth Brother!" Yi Yi cried out in alarm, trembling with fear.
The man just now looked like a cruel and bloodthirsty beast.
The fifth brother coughed up blood, his cheek swelled up, his head was buzzing, and his vision was blurry.
Then, the man knelt down in front of Lao Wu, pulled out a dagger, and held it to his throat. The sharp blade almost sliced through his skin.
Yi Yi watched in fear, but she dared not say anything, much less plead for Lao Wu. She understood that A Yu had misunderstood her relationship with Lao Wu.
All along, A-Yu had treated Lao Wu as his own possession, not allowing him to leave his control or betray him. Previously, when A-Yu's men tried to drug her and publicly humiliate her, Lao Wu saved her. This incident must have been reported to A-Yu by his men. That's why A-Yu was so angry, ordering Lao Wu to personally set her on fire and burn her to death.
If she speaks up for Lao Wu now, it will only make A Yu angrier and less likely to forgive Lao Wu.
“Fifth Brother…” A-Yu grabbed Fifth Brother’s collar, turned his face toward him, and said in an icy tone, “You never used to lie to me. But now, you’re lying to me for a woman.”
"I don't."
"No? You said she saved your life by shielding you from a poisonous snake. I just looked at the wound on her hand; it wasn't from a poisonous snake."
The anger in the man's eyes grew stronger and stronger; it was the fury of discovering that he had been betrayed by the person he trusted most.
The fifth brother lowered his head. "I... I must have been mistaken. But it's true that she saved me. I just wanted to repay her. I had no other intentions. You're the only one in my heart."
The anger in the man's eyes gradually faded, and he softened his tone, bringing his face close to Lao Wu's. "In that case, kiss me."
"..."
"Unwilling? You still dare to say that I'm the only one in your heart. I can feel that you've changed your mind, you're unwilling anymore. If it were before, you wouldn't have hesitated at all if I asked you to kiss me. Fifth Brother, you've changed. You've ignored everything I've said. It's all this woman's fault, she must die now."
After saying that, the man turned around, turned the lighter back on, and went to light the can of gasoline.
