Chapter 68 I Just Want to Find an Excuse to Beat You

basement

"I have a problem with spatial perception. How did you do this?" Yi Jiu asked the question in his mind.

"Do you know why you had the surgery?" Xiao Shaoyue was very excited when talking about the surgery. "You have congenital amaurosis. To put it simply, it is a retinal disease. The most taboo thing about this is stimulation. Everyone thought that you heard what He Jingxin said in the hospital and it stimulated you. Your emotional excitement caused your retina to detach, and you were forced to have the surgery early."

Yi Jiu was silent.

Could it be possible that what she heard with her own ears was false? But from Xiao Shaoyue's words, she guessed that it was not He Jingxin's words that caused her mental breakdown and the surgery for retinal detachment.

"She took the blame for me, but she has no fault in taking it. She deserves it, such a scumbag!"

Xiao Shaoyue was very satisfied with Yi Jiu's pale face. She was counting the time and waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect. She supported the operating table with both hands and stood opposite Yi Jiu, like a winner. Her shadow completely enveloped Yi Jiu.

She said lightly, "Where should I start?"

She turned on the monitoring computer next to her. The strong wind outside made the evergreen trees tremble and the fallen leaves flutter. The sky gradually darkened. She looked at the weather and said, "Is this weather like the day when the typhoon landed and the flights were delayed at the airport? In such a harsh environment, some major life events usually happen."

"Then let's start the story of that day."

"Two hours before your surgery, you had an argument with He Jingxin, so you drove your sports car alone to the hospital to visit your adoptive father, Mr. Yi. That was also the last time you enjoyed the thrill of driving a sports car." Xiao Shaoyue's mobile phone played the sound of a sports car engine. The roar of the engine was getting louder and louder, the wheels rubbed against the road, and the shadow of the car was red and lightning.

With precise advancement of time, events, people, and weather.

These scenes are like a movie replay, and memories come flooding back.

Although these things happened more than half a year ago, when I think about them now, they seem like they happened yesterday.

At that time, her marriage with He Jingxin was already in a state of collapse. Any external force would burst it immediately like a bubble.

She and He Jingxin had their first uncompromising argument, and He Jingxin agreed to accompany her to visit her adoptive father, Mr. Yi, who was in hospital. However, He Jingxin promised to prepare a few contracts for Meng Li, and she planned to give the contracts to Meng Li first before going to the hospital.

Her adoptive father Mr. Yi's hospitalization had already made her nervous, and He Jingxin's outrageous behavior undoubtedly stimulated her.

She left He Jingxin behind, packed her suitcase with a sigh of relief, and went to the hospital to take care of her adoptive father, Mr. Yi.

She got a file bag about her mother Cheng Suhe from Mr. Yi, and He Jingxin also came at that time, so she entrusted Mr. Yi to He Jingxin to take care of him.

The moment she returned to the sports car, a photo fell out of the file bag.

When she bent down and picked it up, she finally knew her life experience. The photo was a family portrait of the Cheng family.

And then...then I lost consciousness.

"You attacked me?" Yi Jiu said, then denied the guess, "No, you were still in a vegetative state in the hospital bed at that time."

"Attacked you? No, you slapped Meng Li. Did Meng Li just let it go?"

Yi Jiu's eyelids twitched. How could she forget about Meng Li?

She attacked herself.

"Yes, she ambushed you in the parking lot. She hit you on the back of the head with an iron bar. She probably didn't use too much force, otherwise you would have been killed. Your diseased retina fell off due to the heavy blow. You fainted and she hid you in the stairwell afterwards."

"And I woke up a long time ago. I was lying on the hospital bed all the time, wanting to kill that unfilial daughter. She schemed against me and finally turned me into a vegetable." Xiao Shaoyue mentioned her other eldest daughter and she also gritted her teeth at her.

"Because there was no surveillance in the stairwell, I just happened to pick you up when I was escaping."

Everything is so wrong.

Being attacked by Meng Li was the end, but she didn't know that she fell into the hands of a demon more hateful than Meng Li.

Xiao Shaoyue put her hand on Yi Jiu's shoulder. Yi Jiu's shoulder trembled with fear. The smell of Xiao Shaoyue's perfume and the disinfectant in the basement came to his face.

After the stress reaction, her face instantly lost all color, her breathing became rapid as if she was drowning, her pupils were dilated, her whole body was shaking, and the wheelchair she was sitting in made a creaking sound.

Xiao Shaoyue was very satisfied with the situation. She whispered in her ear and told her about her evil deeds.

"I took you to the stairwell on the eleventh floor, and I gave you a hallucinogen. I gave you the drug just now." Xiao Shaoyue said, pressing hard on the needle hole on Yi Jiu's arm, grabbing her hair and letting her get closer to see the needle hole. "Of course, there was an anesthetic that day. After all, I felt sorry for you. Retinal detachment must be very painful."

Hallucinogens refer to a class of natural or synthetic psychotropic drugs that affect the human central nervous system, causing changes in sensations and emotions, illusions and hallucinations about time and space, and even leading to self-distortion, delusions, and split thinking.

"I also happened to hear what He Jingxin said, and I also happened to record it." Xiao Shaoyue took out her phone and played what He Jingxin said. "Such remarks by a scumbag should be exposed if they are posted online."

The conversation between He Jingxin and Liang Yin started playing on the phone...

He Jingxin said: Little boy, you have been in a bad mood recently.

Liang Yun said: People want your love.

He Jingxin said: "It's just that she is too emotional... She has given me a cold look many times this month. Whenever I don't coax her in a nice way, she becomes arrogant because of her favor."

He Jingxin said: I don’t actually ask for much. What I require of my partner is that she has a sense of boundaries, not too clingy to me, but not too clingy to me either.

Liang Yin: I understand that you find Yi Jiu too clingy and beyond your tolerance. You use Meng Li to provoke her. Similarly, if Meng Li is too much to you, you use Yi Jiu as a shield.

Liang Yun said: Please stop being such a jerk, you are simply...

......

These words echoed in Yi Jiu's ears over and over again, as if they were in Ling Chi's once sincere heart.

Yi Jiu pursed her lips. The invisible pain from her eyes and the mental blow made her temporarily lose the ability to speak. She stared blankly at the incandescent lamp on the ceiling, the flickering white light reflected in her pupils.

"You were panicking and angry. You thought He Jingxin was near you. You wanted to grab her and ask her why she did that. Your emotions were on the verge of collapse."

"The stairwell is filled with clutter, and you keep falling and fainting. I use the alarm on my phone to play this conversation multiple times, making you feel like you are falling into an abyss, dreaming within a dream, and unable to distinguish between reality and dreams."

What Yi Jiu thought was a long period of imprisonment was actually only half an hour. Xiao Shaoyue successfully destroyed Yi Jiu's understanding of space and time.

As a result, she was trapped in darkness, and she became afraid and had palpitations. Her cerebral cortex told her not to move in the dark, otherwise she would get hurt.

"Later, I heard the voice of that unfilial daughter." Xiao Shaoyue's pupils flashed with a strange light, "What can I do? This unfilial daughter comes to see me anytime and anywhere to see if I am dead?"

"Just when I was afraid that she would find out that I was not in the ward, your crying successfully attracted that unfilial daughter." Xiao Shaoyue held the dumbfounded Yi Jiu in her arms, stroked her hair, and praised her in a gentle voice: "You are really mommy's intimate little cotton blanket, which successfully caused a stir, so I got out."

The weirdness and hypocrisy in this matter really made Yi Jiu feel disgusted.

In the first half of her acting career, she probably could not portray such abnormal, neurotic, insane, extreme, crazy, and completely insane characters.

"You caused a commotion on the eleventh floor. Everyone thought you were provoked on the twelfth floor and stumbled to the stairwell on the eleventh floor. Even He Jingxin thought so. Little did they know that you had been in the stairwell on the eleventh floor the whole time."

"Your existence reminds me of my painful past. It reminds me of Cheng Suhe's despicable behavior."

Yi Jiu stared at Xiao Shaoyue, "What do you want?"

"I want it." Xiao Shaoyue murmured, she grabbed Yi Jiu's arm, she was out of control, almost crazy, "You can help me once, then help me a second time. You didn't die during the operation, Cheng Chencheng drew 80 blood to save you, this time I ask you to die, okay?"

Yi Jiu was shocked by the shameless remarks.

This mental state is simply insane. She actually asked her to die? This brain is simply dead!

"Would you like to die?"

"This time, let these 24 years of life come to an end forever. From now on, the Cheng family no longer owes my Xiao family anything."

"I swear I will never do anything to harm the Cheng family again." Xiao Shaoyue stretched out two fingers with his other hand to assure her.

Yi Jiu looked at the hand with two raised fingers and the extremely pious oath, and then his eyes fell on the mask.

She no longer had any illusions at this moment. She sighed helplessly and compromised: "I can promise you."

Yi Jiu soothed Xiao Shaoyue's emotions. Xiao Shaoyue held her in her arms, smiled with relief, and said wildly and incoherently: "Yi Jiu, I know that your heart is as kind as hers. You are different from Cheng Suhe. Even though you look like her, you are not as despicable as her."

The "she" that Xiao Shaoyue mentioned?

I wonder who the "she" in the former refers to?

The two "she" in the latter refer to Cheng Suhe.

"Before I die, can you answer a question for me?" Yi Jiu smiled bitterly, "Solve the doubts in my heart."

"You say."

Yi Jiu asked sincerely, "Is my birth due to my mother Cheng Suhe doing something to you? Or did she drug me and then do something else?"

Xiao Shaoyue shook her head and said, "No."

Yi Jiu said softly, with tears in her eyes: "Then can you come and hug me?"

Xiao Shaoyue hugged Yi Jiu again. Yi Jiu curled the corners of his lips. A strong pheromone burst out from Yi Jiu's glands, causing Xiao Shaoyue to fall heavily to the ground, completely changing his obedient image just now.

Yi Jiu broke free from the restraints in his hands, snatched the gun that was stuck in Xiao Shaoyue's leg, and pulled the trigger directly towards Xiao Shaoyue's ear without mercy.

"Bang!" The sharp sound of the gunshot directly shook Xiao Shaoyue's eardrums. It was a miss.

Xiao Shaoyue was caught off guard by the sudden explosion. She covered her ears, her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.

“I ask you, if you had the chance to do it again, would you do it again?”

Xiao Shaoyue looked at her with resentment. It turned out that being kind to the enemy meant being cruel to oneself. He was indeed deceived by her acting skills.

She was unconsciously on the verge of losing control of her emotions: "Then you would never have been born. You don't deserve to live in this world."

"Very good, well said!" Yi Jiu said gritting her teeth. She raised the butt of the gun and hit Xiao Shaoyue directly on the forehead. She used 80% of her strength and hit Xiao Shaoyue so hard that his head was bleeding and stars were in his eyes.

She fell to the ground, and the blood from her forehead dripped down, forming a small pool on the ground.

Yi Jiu took a deep breath, and the resentment in her heart dissipated as the pool of blood grew larger. She played with the gun with her fingers, casually and effortlessly, and gave her a faint smile: "I just want to find an excuse to beat you."

The mask on Xiao Shaoyue's face fell off, and his eyes stared at each other.

Yi Jiu took the initiative and looked at Xiao Shaoyue's gentle and elegant face. The first time was on the high-speed rail. She was wearing a mask to save people, so she didn't see her appearance clearly.

This was also the first time the two faced each other. She thought of Xiao Shaoyue’s wedding photos when she was young, a gentle, tender, elegant and generous beauty.

The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the stubbornness and gloom in his eyes made Yi Jiu feel disgusted, fearful and unfamiliar.

Xiao Shaoyue got up from the ground and shouted hysterically, "The drug in your body is about to take effect, plus you just released pheromones, you are doomed!!! Just wait for your susceptible period to take effect. If you fall into my hands later, I will not let you off."

"Tsk tsk tsk! How come you're not elegant anymore when you get older?" She picked up the scalpel on the ground and blew away the dust on it. "Fortunately I don't look like you, otherwise I would look in the mirror every day and would be so ugly."

He held a gun in one hand and a knife in the other, which made Xiao Shaoyue feel apprehensive. In her basement, she was actually controlled by Yi Jiu, and the air in the basement was filled with Yi Jiu's pheromones.

"Are you scared?" Yi Jiu smiled in relief: "Xiao Shaoyue, you did one thing right. You told me your life story. You did what no one else was willing to do. Even though I have the blood of someone like you in my veins, they still treat me well and stick with me."

The sharp knife parted the black hair scattered in front of her, and the cold scalpel gently stroked her face, along her contours, and stopped at her neck. She could see the beating pulse with her naked eyes.

"Xiao Shaoyue, you are a shameless person who abused your own daughter, suspected of murdering your wife, and conducted human experiments. This will be a scar that will be difficult to heal in my life. So..."

"Do you want to rid the people of harm? To uphold justice?"

The scalpel was about to cut open Xiao Shaoyue's neck. Drop after drop of blood fell from the wound on Xiao Shaoyue's head onto the blade, reflecting her wolfish expression. "Xiao Shaoyue, I am a law-abiding citizen, not a legal clique. I am different from you. I don't have that kind of perverted hobby."

"I have people I love, family I love, and friends. I will become better for them, and you, you will get the punishment you deserve, and I will see you spend the rest of your life in prison."

Xiao Shaoyue let out a loud cry of pain, and Yi Jiu picked up salt water and cleaned her wound directly. The mixture of salt water and blood was enough to make her scream like a slaughtered pig in pain and roll on the ground.

"I don't have any abnormal hobbies, but that doesn't mean I don't have a temper. It doesn't mean I will take some things lightly."

The door to the basement was opened, and a bodyguard suddenly rushed in. Xiao Shaoyue wiped the blood off her face and frantically ordered, "Kill her for me!"

The bodyguard was shocked by this scene. He held up his phone and said, "Ms. Shao Yue, Ms. Yi. Minister Xiao is calling."

Minister Xiao's face and voice appeared on the video: "Xiao Shaoyue, get back to Beijing right now, or you'll never come back again in your life. As for Yi Jiu, you hurry home and pretend this never happened."

When Yi Jiu heard how her "grandfather" handled things, her favorable impression of the Xiao family dropped to the freezing point. "Minister Xiao, your good daughter kidnapped me. You just downplayed it and didn't let me investigate? Are you just protecting her like this?"

Minister Xiao saw Yi Jiu standing with a gun and a teacup in his hands, and Xiao Shaoyue lying on the ground. It was a complete disgrace to the Xiao family.

His face darkened. "Do you look like you've been kidnapped?"

Yi Jiu sneered as a thin stream of liquid slowly poured out from the container in his hand. The stream splashed on his forehead. Xiao Shaoyue trembled in pain, but she endured it and refused to cry out.

Minister Xiao stopped him and said, "Yi Jiu, what are you doing?"

"What?" Yi Jiu shook the beaker in his hand and kindly reminded: "Minister Xiao, you didn't see that your daughter was injured. This basement has been abandoned for a long time. Who knows if there are bacteria in the air? What if she gets tetanus? I am disinfecting her."

"...That's salt water. Didn't you see the chemical name on it?"

"Oh!" Yi Jiu suddenly realized, but she didn't stop her hands. "I'm not a medical student. Isn't this saline water physiological saline? Mommy...you won't blame me, will you?"

Yi Jiu picked up the gauze beside her and wiped Xiao Shaoyue's wound vigorously. She felt Xiao Shaoyue trembling in pain, but she refused to make a sound. She thought the father and daughter were very strange. Minister Xiao obviously favored her, but she didn't even want to ask for help and just held on.

"Minister Xiao, your daughter didn't say no."

Yi Jiu's nonsense and rebellious nature made the high and mighty Minister Xiao extremely dissatisfied. Wasn't this embarrassing for him in front of his daughter and subordinates?

"I'm your elder, and you talk to me like that!"

"If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext for it!" Yi Jiu said coldly, and then she left the basement.

"I said this is a sin!" Xiao Shaoyue laughed softly, and said to the old father on the phone, "He should be strangled to death. Aren't you just afraid that the competition between me and Yi Jiu will affect your election?"

"...... Xiao Shaoyue." Minister Xiao was silent for a while, and then he issued an ultimatum: "I give you until tomorrow to come back."

"Are you putting me in solitary confinement like a lunatic? Just like when I was a kid, I was locked up because I didn't obey." Xiao Shaoyue stared at Minister Xiao with resentful eyes. She stood up and snatched the phone.

Minister Xiao was unexpectedly not angry. He was used to her crazy behavior. He didn't even raise his eyebrows and said coldly, "That's good to know. I'll help you settle the matter this time. Don't bother Yi Jiu anymore. Do you understand?"

"I let Yi Jiu go, but others won't let Yi Jiu go."

......

Yi Jiu walked out of the basement, and the effect of the drug began to take effect. She covered her head, and everything began to distort.

Xiao Shaoyue gave her an enhanced version of hallucinogen. It was already night and she was so scared that she could only walk to a place and wait for rescue.

She thought about it and decided to stay away from the Xiao family. If Xiao Shaoyue went crazy, wouldn't that be like trying to kill her?

She gritted her teeth and hurried away. The cold wind blew on her and fear surrounded her.

Danger always appears when people are at their worst. A white car hidden in the dark appeared, and a beam of high beam shone straight at him, which made Yi Jiu's eyes go completely dark for a moment.

The accelerating white car tore through the air, broke through the darkness, and drove straight towards Yi Jiu, determined to crush her to death.

"Jiujiu!"

"Don't come over here!!!"

Immediately following the familiar engine roar, golden lightning rushed towards the out-of-control white car. With a loud bang, the sports car crashed into the car. He Jingxin stepped on the accelerator and crashed the white car into the grass on the side.

The white car roared and looked at Yi Jiu who was far away from the battlefield. The driver had a fierce look in his eyes and turned the car around, determined to hit Yi Jiu to death.

The white car rushed towards Yi Jiu at high speed. Yi Jiu could no longer tell the directions and she tripped and fell on a staircase. Her wrist hit a sharp stone and blood flowed out.

Then go die!

Yi Jiu, your death is coming!

The golden lightning came out directly to intercept, and the front ends of the two cars collided with each other, causing a violent vibration. He Jingxin retreated dozens of meters and stepped on the accelerator, and the front end of the car directly hit the driver's door of the white car.

The driver of the white car was trapped inside the car. Looking at the person's profile, He Jingxin knew it was Meng Li.

He Jingxin was too lazy to care about Meng Li's life or death. Red and blue lights were flashing in the distance. He Jingxin knew that the police were coming, so she went to find Yi Jiu, but she didn't find her near the stairs.

Where did Jiujiu go?

She called out Yi Jiu's name and walked towards the depths with a flashlight.

And she smelled a strong scent of minty coconut pheromones, what happened? Her glands started to stir...
