Chapter 19: Ringing the Bells "Is he going to die?"
Chapter.Neenth
Under the dim light, the whole room was covered with ink, and Xu's father's ferocious figure was like a ghost, quickly approaching Xu Zhouye.
Human life was at stake, so Chen Qiudu subconsciously called out Xu Zhouye's name. However, when he tried to grab his sleeve and pull his hand back, he was dodged by him.
"Xu Zhouye!"
Xu Zhuye turned a deaf ear and faced the blade approaching his cheek. The moment the cold light touched the bridge of his nose, he nimbly dodged it and went around behind Xu's father.
Father Xu concentrated almost all his strength in this attack. The moment the kitchen knife missed, he suddenly collapsed and knelt on the ground.
There was a heavy groan mixed with the sound of bodies breaking. Father Xu might not be able to stand up for a long time after this fall.
Xu Zhouye skillfully took out a syringe from his pocket and inserted it into the back of Xu's father's neck without hesitation. In just five seconds, Xu's father became drowsy and finally fell into a coma.
At this time, the mother-in-law finally arrived. Seeing Xu's father lying on the ground, she didn't care at all. She bent over and kept apologizing, while dragging away like a sick old dog.
All the noise was silenced again. Xu Zhouye had no expression on his face and his movements were mechanical, as if the person in front of him was not his biological father.
Chen Qiudu lowered his eyes to look at the empty syringe on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "What's in the syringe?"
"You don't want to know, and knowing too much makes it harder for you to leave."
Xu Zhouye casually threw the syringe into the trash can, dusted himself off, and saw Chen Qiudu still standing motionless in the corner, and chuckled.
"Ask anything you want to ask."
"Why did he want to kill you?"
Xu Zhouye frowned and remained silent for a long time. He placed the photo frame he had snatched from Chen Qiudu back to its original position on the table before speaking calmly, "Because he always felt that I was not his son."
"In his heart, my mother and I have both betrayed him."
"He believed that I was the product of an affair between my mother and Wen Jiangchu's father."
Chen Qiudu's mind buzzed for a moment, and his pupils dilated slightly. "Why... do you think so?"
Touching Shen Qiudu's reaction, Xu Zhouye raised his eyebrows frivolously, "It seems that Wen Jiangchu is really protective of you. He didn't want to tell you these things because he was afraid that you would get involved in this mess."
He lowered his head to glance at the time on his watch. Seeing that it was still early, he sat down on the soft chair in front of the desk, crossed his legs lazily, and said nonchalantly, "Since you're leaving anyway, I'll be merciful and satisfy your curiosity."
"The Xu family and the Wen family are old friends. Wen Jiangchu and I grew up together. Our fathers grew up in the same courtyard, so we have a very good relationship."
"Wen Jiangchu's father was as outstanding as he was, with a good personality and strong abilities. He was the most outstanding junior in our year. He was such a person that he had a crush on Wen Jiangchu's mother for many years. Later, he got his wish and pursued Wen Jiangchu's mother, and they got married soon after."
"But according to my father, my mother had also been secretly in love with Father Wen for many years. She even confessed her love to him after graduating from university, but was politely rejected."
"You should have seen my father's personality. He's paranoid and suspicious by nature. He's been quiet since he was a child. Whether it's his career or his love life, he's like a madman."
"This person, when my mother's confession was rejected and she was heartbroken, took advantage of this opportunity and used a very dishonorable and even vulgar method to marry my mother home."
"Of course he knew how despicable he was, so he always believed that my mother didn't love him. But he still tried his best to be nice to my mother. He never knew how to love others, let alone be loved by others. He was completely trapped in a self-hypnosis and couldn't escape."
"He was too mean. Even after Father Wen and Mother Wen got married and had a good relationship, he would still suspect my mother of still having feelings for Father Wen because of the slightest misconception. Moreover, he even treated Father Wen as his imaginary enemy, completely severing their childhood friendship."
"This kind of illusory love, growing on the edge of a cliff, is extremely fragile. So when he saw that my mother and Father Wen were secretly in contact, and the next day the Xu family's company was revived with the help of the Wen family, he didn't feel the slightest bit of gratitude."
"Instead, he locked my mother up and kept interrogating her, even suspecting that I was her and Father Wen's bastard. My mother couldn't stand it, so she just went along with what he said because she knew that no matter how much she explained, my father wouldn't believe it."
"It was also on that day that that ethereal love completely vanished. Overwhelmed with hatred, he secretly poisoned our food that night. He wanted to take us with him to die."
"Luckily, Father and Mother Wen noticed it in advance and saved us. In the end, Mother divorced him and went abroad, and I was left here to take care of Father and live with the Wen family."
Xu Zhouye's voice was very soft and slow, without any emotion, and there was a thick fog in his dark eyes that could not be melted.
He once extremely hated this overly clear self-awareness. Xu Zhouye knew clearly that he and his father were the same kind of people. He wanted to get rid of it and struggle, but in the end it was useless.
Every time he forced himself to make a different choice from his father, he naively believed that everything would change, but the fact was that no matter how he changed his path, the final result would not change.
This cycle pushed Xu Zhouye to the brink of despair. The madness and stubbornness were like shackles, firmly tied to him, reminding him all the time: You are also a lunatic, you will always be inferior to Wen Jiangchu.
Of course, Father Xu had also experienced this inhuman torture. No one knew the pain of his remaining sanity being gradually destroyed. In the eyes of others, his desire and unwillingness to accept his fate became the reason for the fear in their eyes.
So Mr. Xu accepted his fate.
But Xu Zhuye was still struggling.
Chen Qiudu seemed to understand this feeling.
Being possessed by Evil is not a pleasant feeling.
But Xu Zhouye chose to endure the struggle and lock himself in the web.
But Shen Qiudu chose to kill this Evil.
Chen Qiudu looked up at Xu Zhouye's expression, which was so calm that it frightened him. He also found that the smell of green apples in the air was stronger.
Even though Chen Qiudu didn't like his pheromones, he was an Omega who was about to enter a susceptible period, so there would always be some impact.
Therefore, he deliberately moved away and walked to the small window and opened it a little.
"But what you said has nothing to do with Wen Jiangchu."
Xu Zhouye lowered his eyes and stared at Chen Qiudu, "Why is it not related?"
"It was him who connected my mother and Father Wen."
Chen Qiudu frowned, feeling that Xu Zhouye in front of him seemed to be trapped in the spider web he had woven, just like his father.
"But he wanted to save your company—"
"Shut up! What do you know? I'm telling you these things just because I feel sorry for you. What right do you have to express your opinions here?"
Xu Zhuye stood up angrily, but he was at a loss as he rubbed his swollen head desperately and groaned in agony.
He threw the things on the table randomly, and they fell all over the floor. His frantic look was exactly the same as Xu's father's just now.
"Just stay here! I...I'll be back soon..."
After he finished speaking through gritted teeth, he staggered out the door, leaning against the wall and shouting, "Medicine...Give me medicine!"
Chen Qiudu had been observing all this with a cold eye. He slowly approached the direction Xu Zhouye had left. The cold, silent air was filled with Xu Zhouye's unstable pheromones.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong. The Alpha's pheromones shouldn't be so chaotic.
It seems that the poison given by Xu's father back then had a great impact on Xu Zhouye, causing him to completely suffer from pheromone disorder.
Chen Qiudu hid himself in the darkness, his cold eyes swept over Xu Zhouye who was taking a potion in the corner of the sofa and trying to calm himself down, and he felt that they were equally pathetic.
This seemingly superior person, after all, only dares to hide in the darkness and lick his wounds. Beneath the hard shell is a fragile and faded soul.
However, this is a good thing for Shen Qiudu.
He had a brand new plan.
＊
Time quickly came to ten o'clock in the evening. What surprised Chen Qiudu was that after such a long time, Wen Jiangchu had not sent him any messages or called him.
It was as if... he had already anticipated everything Shen Qiudu wanted to do and indulged him in doing so without restraint.
However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Chen Qiudu. After all, his existence was more likely to be dispensable to Wen Jiangchu. Furthermore, what he was about to do was not so clean. How could such a bright and noble person with a bright future be willing to be tainted by dirt?
Xu Zhuye opened the door. He had calmed down now, as if he was not the one groaning in pain just now.
There was ice in his eyes and his tone was indifferent, "It's time to go."
Chen Qiudu followed Xu Zhouye into the car in silence. The air conditioner in the car was not turned off, and he shivered from the cold. He bit his lips tightly, with madness hidden in his eyes, staring at Xu Zhouye's mobile phone screen.

The shrill ringing of a cell phone interrupted Xu Zhouye's actions. He clicked his tongue impatiently and found out it was his assistant calling. He had a vague bad feeling in his heart.
After the call was connected, the assistant's panicked voice came -
"Boss Xu, this is bad! That man beat someone up and then ran away!"
Xu Zhouye's breathing became heavier, and his fingers unconsciously clenched the steering wheel. The feeling of confusion made his heart roar and squeeze constantly. The disorder that he had just controlled with the effect of the medicine showed signs of regeneration.
"Go after him! Get him back no matter what!"
"Boss Xu, look where he's running, it's the Lushuiwan Bridge!"
Xu Zhouye hung up the phone and turned to look at Chen Qiudu with questioning eyes.
"You did it."
Chen Qiudu leaned his head back on the chair and chuckled when he heard this. "Boss Xu really overestimates me. My father never listens to me, don't you know that?"
"Besides, if he wanted to survive, why would he run to the Lushuiwan Bridge? Isn't that just asking for death?"
Xu Zhouye suddenly increased the horsepower like crazy, and the black car quickly shuttled through the wild forest, like a pack of wolves that had set their sights on their prey and would not allow anyone to escape.
Chen Qiudu had anticipated this outcome early on. He quietly cast his gaze at the shadows swiftly passing by outside the car window and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about..."
"He's going to die?"
