"Lin Su, let's leave it at that. You can't bring yourself to kill me anyway, and staying here will only get in the way. I still have grudges with her to settle." Xiao Wanqing pointed her chin at Shen Zhi Qiu from her high position, her words implying that she didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Su anymore and just wanted him to leave quickly so as not to ruin her plans.
She truly didn't think she had done anything wrong; the fault lay entirely with others!
"Wanqing, stop. I saw those two people downstairs, I know what you did. Don't let yourself go down a path of no return!" Lin Su earnestly advised.
Shen Zhi Qiu, lying on the ground, couldn't help but twitch her lips. The conversation had already connected the dots between what Si Ming Yu had told her. She thought Lin Su's love-struck mind was truly terrifying! Love really could make people lose their minds; this was a blood feud, and she was just going to let it go so easily?
At first, when she saw the hatred in Lin Su's eyes, she thought that this young man was hot-blooded and wanted to avenge his parents. However, she did not expect that Xiao Wanqing's few words would make him seem like a completely different person. He actually began to worry about the woman who caused his family to be destroyed.
"I've already crossed the line!" Xiao Wanqing raised her hands casually, examining them carefully. "Look at these hands, they're stained with the blood of several people. They all died because of me, but I don't feel afraid at all. On the contrary, I feel a special kind of pleasure from killing. Do you want to experience my pleasure?" Xiao Wanqing looked at Lin Su with a somewhat crazed gaze, gradually enticing him to look at Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Do you want to kill her?" Xiao Wanqing laughed, her laughter echoing through the dilapidated factory and sending chills down people's spines.
Shen Zhi Qiu shrank back, curling up against the wall in a corner.
The light was dim, and Xiao Wanqing couldn't see Shen Zhi Qiu's actions clearly, only vaguely making out that she was curled up in a ball. Xiao Wanqing smiled smugly, thinking that Shen Zhi Qiu was scared, and she happily curled the corners of her mouth.
Seeing that they hadn't made any move yet, Shen Zhi Qiu quickly moved her hands from behind her back to her front, then stared intently at their every move while her hands continued to move, using small but rapid cuts on the ropes on her feet with a tile shard.
"Wanqing." Lin Su gave a bitter smile. "I've loved you for too long, and I've hated you too much lately. I can't even tell what my feelings for you are anymore." As she spoke, Lin Su lowered her head, looking utterly defeated. "You're right. Even though I've been yelling that I want to kill you, when you're actually standing in front of me, I just can't bring myself to do it."
But Wanqing, Heaven is watching what people do. Don't go too far, or you'll be struck by bad luck.
"You're not going to do it, are you? Then I will!" Xiao Wanqing glanced at him disdainfully. Seeing that Lin Su was not of any use to her, she had no choice but to stride towards Shen Zhi Qiu.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Just as she took her fourth step, Lin Su grabbed her arm and cried out emotionally, "Wanqing, I can't stand by and watch you make a mistake anymore!"
Just then, Shen Zhi Qiu cut the rope. Having been bound for too long, her legs were numb and she couldn't run at all. She quietly rotated her ankles and began to slowly move her toes.
"Let go! I'm determined to kill her! If it weren't for her, I would never be in this state!" Xiao Wanqing struggled frantically, trying to break free from Lin Su's grasp, but Lin Su held on tightly, and she couldn't escape.
Xiao Wanqing's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her.
"You hurt me! Lin Su, you never treated me like this before!" As she spoke, large tears slid down her cheeks.
The acting was so good that Lin Su instinctively wanted to let go.
Seeing this, Shen Zhi Qiu knew that if Lin Su softened her heart, she would likely perish here. Her face darkened, and she shouted, "Lin Su, you piece of trash! Xiao Wanqing killed your mother! She was the one who gave you life and raised you! If your mother knew this in the afterlife, she would curse you as an unfilial descendant! Your father even died of anger! How can you face your ancestors in the Lin family?!"
Lin Su's shoulders stiffened, and his lost rationality seemed to return somewhat. He gritted his teeth and roared at Shen Zhi Qiu, "Shut up!"
Xiao Wanqing's expression changed; she sensed something was wrong.
"You hit a nerve, didn't you! You're a complete waste! For some worthless love, you disregarded the revenge for your parents and are still here begging the woman who killed your family for love? If this woman had ever loved you, how could she have been so heartless as to kill your mother! Bah, I've never seen such a cowardly man!" Seeing that provoking him had an effect, Shen Zhi Qiu quickly added fuel to the fire.
Xiao Wanqing pursed her lips. She clearly felt Lin Su's grip tighten, a strength laced with restrained hatred. Sure enough, when she looked up, she met Lin Su's suppressed gaze. She frowned, and said impatiently, "Let go of me!"
"What if I don't let go?" Lin Su's voice turned cold, but her eyes looked at Shen Zhi Qiu. "She's right. If I let you go, I'll really become a piece of trash."
Xiao Wanqing lowered her head with a gloomy expression, then quickly pulled a small knife from her coat, held it in front of her, bit off the cap of the knife tip, and stabbed at the dazed Lin Su.
Shen Zhi Qiu was startled, her heart tightened, and she blurted out instinctively, "She has a knife, be careful!"
Lin Su's pupils constricted sharply. Before he could even turn to look at Xiao Wanqing, he felt a piercing pain in his right abdomen. He stared at Xiao Wanqing in disbelief, his face a mixture of anger, hatred, and regret. He gasped in pain, and before he could utter a word of questioning, Xiao Wanqing forcefully stabbed the knife deeper into his abdomen.
Lin Su's expression began to contort as he bent over in pain, his body tilting slightly to one side.
Xiao Wanqing sneered, drew her knife without hesitation, and kicked him away. Lin Su, caught off guard, was kicked to the ground.
Seeing Xiao Wanqing's frenzied killing spree, Shen Zhi Qiu quietly moved her feet to make sure she was no longer numb. Then, she stared intently at Xiao Wanqing, preparing to make her move at the opportune moment.
"Useless!" Xiao Wanqing cursed at Lin Su, who was curled up on the ground, and then raised her foot to walk towards Shen Zhi Qiu.
Enraged, Lin Su grabbed Xiao Wanqing's ankle and, ignoring the pain in her wound, yanked hard, causing Xiao Wanqing to fall to the ground, the knife slipping from her hand.
"How dare you pull me!" Xiao Wanqing shouted angrily, rubbing her sore leg in frustration.
Now!
Shen Zhi Qiu slowly got up and quietly moved quickly towards the stairwell, hugging the wall.
Lin Su clutched his abdomen in pain, but surprisingly, he stood up due to his intense hatred. He quickly walked to where the knife had fallen, picked it up, and walked towards Xiao Wanqing with a cold face.
