Cao Jinbo slowly put down the satellite phone in his hand. The next instant, he drew the pistol from his waist again, pointed it at Yang Sisi's head, and roared ferociously, "You bastard... don't you know how to spell death?!"
Driven by rage, saliva streamed down Cao Jinbo's face. He released the safety from his pistol, his eyes bloodshot, veins bulging on his hands... In his fury, he had already decided to kill Yang Sisi.
Yang Sisi ruined his life's work and personally sent him to his doom... The anger of a normal person is already terrifying, let alone someone who was originally a vicious and ruthless person! I know that when he has one foot on the road to ruin, he will definitely not let any of us go.
At this critical moment, Ye Zhi shouted to Cao Jinbo, "President Cao, please have mercy... Sisi is Xiaobei's most beloved woman. If you kill Sisi, it's the same as indirectly killing your son... because Xiaobei is a man who is deeply devoted to love. Please give your son a way out."
Cao Jinbo looked at Ye Zhi, and Ye Zhi looked at Yang Sisi...
Yang Sisi was now deathly pale. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be muttering something... I couldn't hear her clearly. The fear in my heart had taken over my body... I wanted to snatch the gun from Cao Jinbo's hand, but my subconscious told me I couldn't...
The moment Cao Jinbo slapped Ye Zhi, I wanted to kill him, but the situation wouldn't allow me to. I could only endure this agonizing night, feeling like I was living a life worse than death... At this moment, all talk of youthful vigor and lone heroism was meaningless... I was facing Cao Jinbo, and simply surviving was the best I could do!
...
Suddenly, another string of lights shot towards us from afar... The other car was traveling at a speed exceeding the limit for driving on this road, so it quickly approached us and attracted everyone's attention.
As soon as the car door opened, Cao Xiaobei came running towards him, panting heavily, his voice hoarse as he cried out to Cao Jinbo, "Dad, Dad... please let Sisi go... I beg you, please don't hurt anyone else... you really can't hurt Sisi, she's carrying my child, your grandson... I'm begging you, it's all my fault... Dad, I beg you, let Sisi go... please..."
Cao Xiaobei knelt down with a thud and then kowtowed repeatedly to Cao Jinbo, each kowtow landing squarely on his forehead. Blood streamed down his forehead, and his pitiful state was worse than that of anyone else present...
Amidst utter fear, I suddenly felt a pang of inferiority; I was no match for him.
A slight softening finally appeared in Cao Jinbo's eyes, and he asked Cao Xiaobei, "Are you telling me the truth?"
"It's all the truth... Dad, you have to believe me... If she weren't pregnant, I wouldn't have dared to call off the engagement... Please put the gun down, okay?... If anything happens to Sisi..."
I won't survive either... Are you only satisfied when you've destroyed our family? ...You've already wronged my mother... When she passed away, you promised her... you would raise me properly... You can't go back on your word!"
Cao Jinbo's lips twitched. With endless resentment, he replied to Cao Xiaobei, "For a woman like this, you drove your father to the brink of despair... Do you really think it was worth it?"
Cao Xiaobei looked at Yang Sisi, then at Cao Jinbo, and burst into tears... I had never heard such a heart-wrenching cry before, filled with pain and torment... No matter how heinous Cao Jinbo was, he was still Cao Xiaobei's father. The more miserable Cao Jinbo's fate was, the more Cao Xiaobei would suffer!
Cao Jinbo shook his head and smiled bitterly. He then said in a sorrowful voice, "I, Cao Jinbo, have been clever my whole life, how could I have given birth to such a fool like you?!... Xiao Bei, can't you see?... This woman isn't sincere with you. Doesn't she know what consequences taking what I entrusted to you will have on my son and me?... Everyone fears the gun I hold, but the unseen gun is what truly kills... Xiao Bei, I can't keep this woman. I won't be content with keeping her, and you won't have a good life either... No matter what my fate is, you must remember... You must find a woman who truly loves you..."
"Dad, you can't hurt her... Just consider me a worthless wretched person..."
Cao Xiaobei screamed in anguish as he knelt down beside Cao Jinbo... Yang Sisi was already in tears, whether from fear, guilt, or repentance, it was hard to tell!
It was at this moment that I changed my view of myself... I suddenly felt that I was not good enough for Yang Sisi, let alone Cao Xiaobei... I saw a lowly version of myself and despised myself from the depths of my soul!
Because I've given up on love, I only want to please and indulge myself in my own little world.
I know no one will blame me, because most people are like this, but seeing this scene still made me feel disgusted with myself.
...
Suddenly, Cao Xiaobei, who had been kneeling beside Cao Jinbo, stood up abruptly, then hugged Cao Jinbo tightly and turned to me with a pleading look... In the chaos, Cao Jinbo fired a blank shot, which, although it missed nothing, shocked the wilderness!
Without a second thought, I rushed to Cao Jinbo and Cao Xiaobei, grabbed Cao Jinbo's wrist holding the gun, and shook the gun out of his hand...
I had given it my all, and Cao Xiaobei had given it my all too. With the immense impact, Cao Xiaobei and Cao Jinbo both fell into a ditch five or six meters deep behind them... I used all my strength to grab Cao Xiaobei, but it was too late for Cao Xiaobei to grab Cao Jinbo...
