Chapter 374 Kidnapping (4)
As soon as the door closed, the atmosphere in the room froze.
This place is located at the foot of the mountain in an abandoned brick kiln factory that has been in disrepair for many years, with no village in front and no shop behind.
If an accident happens, no one will probably notice.
Everyone present, including Liu Bo, was confused by Li Ke's behavior.
"What are you doing?"
Tian Xin asked her: "The money has been given to you, what else do you want?"
"Yeah, you just want money, don't you?" Liang Xiao also shouted, "Let me go!"
But her shout only earned her a roll of the eyes from Li Ke.
She closed the door, turned around slowly, and looked at Tian Xin with the same sinister smile: "Money?"
"Can money solve the problem between us? Have you forgotten what you did to me?"
"Then tell me. What did I do?" Tian Xin asked back.
Her attitude was as indifferent as when neighbors greet each other and ask each other "Have you eaten?", with a hint of disdain.
Li Ke was immediately enraged.
She first gave a bitter smile, then stared at Tian Xin with a fierce look and said angrily, "What did you do? How dare you ask? Do you know what kind of life I have been living in the past five years? If it weren't for you, would I have been abandoned by everyone and left alone?
All of this is thanks to you, but you actually forgot?"
"That's your own fault. You were the one who harmed me first. You deserve to be arrested." Tian Xin replied.
This time, she was no longer afraid of her. Even if they came head-on, she would never back down.
Such stubbornness made Lin Zhou feel distressed.
The rope had been untied. He stood up, walked around her and gently took the dagger away.
Then he held her trembling hand tightly and said softly, "Just step back. I'll take care of these things."
"Hey, have you forgotten that I'm still tied up? Can you untie me first?" Liang Xiao shouted.
"Shut up."
“…”
Lin Zhou put away the knife, held Tian Xin tightly with one hand, pointed at Li Ke and warned: "I don't care what grudges you had with Tian Xin before, after today, this matter ends here. I won't pursue the matter of you kidnapping me today. But if you still want to keep pestering me, then we'll see. I have plenty of time and means to deal with you, just try it if you don't believe me."
After saying that, he growled again, his tone unbending: "Get out of the way!"
"Okay, stop trying to scare me." Li Ke said with disdain: "I, Li Ke, was not brought up to be scared. Your tricks won't work on me."
"However, since you are here today, I can't let you come for nothing, so I will give you a gift."
As she spoke, she kicked a broken chair in front of her to the door, sat down, and smiled at Tian Xin and the others.
This smile was no longer the smirk from before, but rather a bit abnormal.
"What do you mean?" Lin Zhou stepped forward and pointed the knife at her: "I'm telling you, if you don't let us go, then..."
"Do you know how I've been through these past five years?" She interrupted Lin Zhou with a roar: "Every day I've been thinking about how to get out. The first thing I'll do when I get out is look for you. I hate it!"
She pointed at Tian Xin, her eyes full of hatred.
"From the day you put me in jail, I have no family left in this world. My parents despise me, and my relatives ignore me. In five years, they haven't even come to see me.
I finally got out, but I have nothing. You, on the other hand, are a village official, dating rich young men, enjoying everything. Your life is as carefree as it can be!
I just want to ask, why do you do that?"
"Why can you live a good life while I have to live like a rat in the gutter? Tell me why."
Crazy!
It's crazy!
Tian Xin sighed and retorted, "What kind of life I live is what I worked hard for."
"But what about you? You insisted on doing such shameful things. Who can you blame now? In the final analysis, everything is your own fault. What is there to complain about?"
"It's your own fault?"
Li Ke laughed out loud: "You said I brought this upon myself?"
"Tian Xin, why don't you just die? Huh?"
She started screaming and venting like crazy: "Why didn't I run you over with my car? Huh? Why are you always so lucky? Why? Why is it that every time at the critical moment, that damn Zhang Shuai is there to protect you? Why? Why don't you just die?"
Crazy! Completely crazy!
Tian Xin looked at Li Ke who was rushing towards her like a madman and reached out to strangle her.
Fortunately, Lin Zhou was there to block it for her and pushed Li Ke back.
When the conflict broke out, Liu Bo stood aside like a dead person, watching her and Li Ke quarreling as if nothing had happened.
Whether in his previous life or now, this person hasn't changed at all. In his eyes, he only cares about money. Everything else seems to have nothing to do with him.
Tian Xin sneered, stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Zhou, then turned and said to him, "Don't worry about me. This is a personal grudge between Li Ke and me. It has nothing to do with you."
"Li Ke," she looked at her and questioned, "So, it was you who deliberately bumped into me on the road that time?"
"Which time did you ask?"
Li Ke laughed and said, "Was it the time the kid from the next village fell down? Or the time we rear-ended each other on the highway? Or the night the village had a power outage? How come I didn't strangle you to death? Huh? I was just a little bit away? Did you know?"
Her eyes widened, her face horrifying with anger, and she was extremely ferocious. "I was just a little bit away from strangling you to death? But why did that damn Zhang Shuai show up? Why?"
She cursed and rushed forward again to strangle Tian Xin's neck.
Tian Xin then realized: "So that was when you started to retaliate against me?"
"That night, the power outage was because of you, not Lele?" She was filled with surprise. "No wonder, that place is your home, of course you're familiar with it! Put the blame on Lele, no one would blame a fool. You're really calculating!"
Before she could finish her words, Li Ke rushed over. She didn't want to talk any more, she just wanted Tian Xin's life.
Lin Zhou was completely enraged.
He pushed her away and hid Tian Xin behind him: "So those accidents were all caused by you. I was wondering why you couldn't find out. But I'm wondering, what did she do to you that made you deliberately harm her like this? Why?"
"Why? Ask her?" Li Ke pointed at Tian Xin, equally furious.
The conversation between the two was quite aggressive, but the more Lin Zhou listened, the more confused he became.
What is the reason?
Why is Tian Xin unwilling to speak out? What is she hiding?
And this Li Ke—who is he?
He turned his head and looked into Tian Xin's eyes seriously: "Tian Xin, tell me, what's going on?"
"I told you, it has nothing to do with you. Don't ask anymore."
Tian Xin didn't even turn around. She shouted at Li Ke, "Li Ke, what happened between us has nothing to do with them. Let him go. I'll settle the score with you."
After two lifetimes, some accounts must be settled.
I was tortured to death by them in my previous life. I was really a bit of a coward.
Now, I have a chance to do it all over again. If I can still let these two scumbags bully me, then my life will be in vain.
The determination in her eyes was once again revealed. She clenched her fists, looked at Li Ke's extremely disgusted face, and said again: "Let them go, and I will stay with you."
At this time, Li Ke suddenly laughed.
"Let them go? Dream on!"
She roared, "The accounts from your past life haven't been settled yet. Don't you want to see Lin Zhou's expression when he finds out about your past? I'm really curious."
After she finished speaking, she smiled at Lin Zhou: "Lin Zhou, has Tian Xin ever told you that she is already in her forties..."
