"Lin Su," Xiao Wanqing's heart sank to the bottom when she saw that her tears and pleas did not seem to move Lin Su. She knew that her plan had failed. Looking at the gun that Lin Su had raised at her, she shrank back in fear. "Can you calm down? I am your Wanqing!"
“Xiao Wanqing,” Lin Su sneered, “even now, you still think I’ll be soft-hearted? Heaven has already been lenient by letting you live so long. It’s all my fault for being too soft-hearted back then, which gave you the opportunity to kill my mother. And you still don’t repent, you want to kill me. Tell me, how could I possibly let you go?” Lin Su became more and more agitated as he spoke, gritting his teeth as he said.
Seeing that she couldn't move Lin Su, Xiao Wanqing knelt down on the ground with a thud, pleading through tears, "Lin Su, I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to repent, okay? Please! Have you forgotten your vow? You said you would cherish and love me for the rest of your life!"
"I've heard all of these things before. It seems Miss Xiao uses the same rhetoric with everyone!" Wei Qiao, who had been quietly watching the show, said sarcastically, then glanced at Gu Qingyan, who was still bleeding. "President Gu was also completely fooled by this rhetoric."
Gu Qingyan watched this scene with mixed feelings. "I am different from him. They have emotional entanglements, but Wanqing and I do not. I swore at her brother's grave that I would sincerely protect Wanqing."
"Pah." Wei Qiao turned her head away with some disgust. "That's disgusting."
"I haven't forgotten my vow, but you're not worth it," Lin Su replied coldly, glancing at Xiao Wanqing. Looking at Xiao Wanqing weeping on the ground, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He had once loved Xiao Wanqing so much; he was willing to do anything for her, even sacrifice his own life. He had once thought they would be together forever. But all of that was shattered by Xiao Wanqing's betrayal and the crime of murdering his mother. The hatred and pain in Lin Su's heart were too deep, making it impossible for him to feel any pity or affection for Xiao Wanqing anymore.
Hearing Lin Su's words, Xiao Wanqing's last glimmer of hope vanished. She looked up into Lin Su's eyes, and suddenly, memories of their time together flooded back—those beautiful moments, now gone. She knew that the man before her hated her to the core.
"I'm sorry, Lin Su. I know it's too late for me to say this now. I'm so sorry, so sorry..."
Xiao Wanqing suddenly started kowtowing, her eyes full of pleading.
Lin Su saw that her forehead had started to bleed, but he knew very well that these words were lies Xiao Wanqing told to beg for mercy.
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear anything more from you. The only thing you can do now is let me end it all myself, that's the only way to vent my hatred," Lin Su said coldly.
Upon hearing Lin Su's words, Xiao Wanqing closed her eyes, letting tears stream down her face. Seemingly resigned to her fate, she lowered her head, knelt on the ground, and remained silent.
Lin Su looked at Xiao Wanqing, feeling somewhat strange. Based on his understanding of her, she couldn't possibly surrender so easily. But he didn't want to think about it too much, and he took a step forward.
"Goodbye, Qingyan." Xiao Wanqing looked at Lin Su's footsteps, then suddenly raised her head, but instead of looking at Lin Su, she turned her gaze to Gu Qingyan, who was covering his wound and avoiding Gu Ningning.
"No!" Gu Qingyan's heart ached when he saw Xiao Wanqing's defeated expression and tears streaming down her face, as if she had resigned herself to death. He shouted and rushed to Xiao Wanqing's side, shielding her with his body.
"Brother Qingyan." Xiao Wanqing became weak again, burying her head in Gu Qingyan's shoulder, sobbing softly, and repeatedly saying sorry.
Gu Qingyan raised his hand with difficulty and gently touched her hair. "Don't worry, I'm here."
"What? You want to commit suicide together like in the TV dramas? Gu Qingyan, you're such a romantic, I, Lin Su, admire you. Haha, even now, you still can't let go of your 'Sister Wanqing'! You're willing to die for her, fine, I'll grant your wish." Lin Su curled her lips disdainfully and pointed the gun directly at Gu Qingyan's heart.
Seeing that something was wrong, the bodyguards around him all looked at Wei Qiao, who gave them a gesture to wait quietly.
"Go ahead and do it! Don't you hate them? Why don't you kill them all to vent your anger?" Gu Ningning was furious when she saw Gu Qingyan rush over to shield Xiao Wanqing from the bullet, and shouted at Lin Su.
"Brother Qingyan, I'm scared," Xiao Wanqing said softly, shrinking her shoulders.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Gu Qingyan said softly, as if he had returned to his childhood, when Xiao Wanqing would hide by his side and seek his protection when she was wronged.
"You talk too much!" Gu Ningning glanced at Gu Qingyan, then rushed forward again like a madwoman, slashing his arm with a knife. "I'm your own sister, and you didn't even swear to protect me for life, but you'd give your life for this woman!"
Seeing the chaotic situation, Lin Su took a step back, wanting to watch them fight each other before dealing with Gu Qingyan and the others.
Just then, Gu Qingyan seized the opportunity, snatched the knife from Gu Ningning's hand, and held it directly to her neck, shouting, "Nobody move, or I'll kill her!"
Everyone present was stunned. Gu Ningning burst out with a sharp scream: "Gu Qingyan, you bastard, do you even know what you're doing? I'm your sister!"
"Don't say any more of this. Everyone has their own agenda," Gu Qingyan interrupted her, speaking harshly.
"Then go ahead and do it." Lin Su smiled faintly.
"What?" Gu Qingyan and Gu Ningning both exclaimed in confusion.
"Gu Ningning means nothing to us. What good will it do you to threaten us with her?" Wei Qiao couldn't stand it anymore and explained with a sneer, "You think you can escape by taking Gu Ningning hostage? What a joke."
"Alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." Lin Su pointed the gun at Gu Qingyan's hand holding the knife and shouted, "Put down the knife, or I'll cripple your hand."
Gu Qingyan hesitated.
"I'll count to three," Lin Su said, not in a hurry.
"one."
"two."
Gu Qingyan was getting restless; he pursed his lips. Gu Ningning also sensed Gu Qingyan's tension. She glanced at the location of the knife, opened her mouth, and bit down hard on the arm of Gu Qingyan holding the knife.
"Ah!" With a scream from Gu Qingyan, his hand trembled, and the knife slashed across Gu Ningning's neck. The wound wasn't deep, but blood gushed out instantly.
Gu Qingyan dropped the knife in fear.
At this moment, Lin Su also counted to "three".
He watched as the knife fell to the ground, but still pulled the trigger with a cold smile.
