His movements as he picked up the scissors were somewhat sluggish, and it was easy to see that he had been injured before.
Seeing the scissors in his hand, Xu Zhaozhao frowned deeply.
She asked him warily, "Yu Yao, what exactly do you want to do?"
This morning I went to great lengths to tie her up here, dressed her in ten wedding dresses, and now I've even picked up a pair of scissors...
Yu Yao approached her with scissors in hand.
Because the light emitted by the incandescent bulbs in the room was limited, his expression was shrouded in shadow.
But the smile on his lips sent chills down one's spine.
"Sister, we don't have much time left."
Xu Zhaozhao instinctively stepped back, but the back of the sofa blocked her way.
He wouldn't be thinking of cutting her up with a pair of scissors, would he?
Xu Zhaozhao was so scared that she couldn't speak and kept swallowing.
Yu Yao knelt on one knee in front of her, and Xu Zhaozhao finally saw his expression clearly.
His eyes were filled with extraordinary excitement, the smile on his lips was almost impossible to suppress, and his hands trembled slightly involuntarily.
His hand rested on her wedding dress, and he murmured in a daze.
"Sister, you looked so beautiful in your wedding dress, it's such a pity..."
What a pity.
My sister is unwilling to wear a wedding dress for me.
She was going to wear a wedding dress and marry another man; she broke her promise.
The untrustworthy kitten must be punished.
Click... Click...
The scissors opened and closed, flashing a blinding light under the lamp, making an unpleasant sound as they cut fabric.
His condition was clearly abnormal.
Now, all Xu Zhaozhao can do is remain silent and try to go along with him.
Wait until Gu Qingyan finds her.
Click, click...
The sound of cutting fabric continued.
Those merciless scissors were recklessly tearing apart the pure white gauze.
Xu Zhaozhao's pajamas were actually quite thin, and sometimes when the scissors were opened, the cold metal temperature would seep through the clothes and freeze her.
She felt the unusual temperature and the pressure of the sharp weapon, which made her tremble slightly and get goosebumps all over her body.
Soon, the sound of cutting fabric stopped.
He cut Xu Zhaozhao's wedding dress in half, and it silently slid to the ground under the force of gravity.
He didn't mind at all, picked up the tattered wedding dress, held it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, looking completely infatuated.
Xu Zhaozhao felt a chill and even felt nauseous.
Swallowing hard, I suppressed my physical reaction—I absolutely couldn't provoke him.
It wasn't until the cold, metallic heat pressed against her stomach without any resistance that Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but curse him out.
"Yu Yao, are you crazy?!"
She screamed, and the last word even cracked a little.
Yu Yao not only wanted to cut up the wedding dress, he also wanted to cut up her nightgown that covered her body!
Under Xu Zhaozhao's angry glare, Yu Yao visibly became even more excited.
Click!
Without hesitation, the scissors cut a hole in her pajamas, and Xu Zhaozhao could feel the cool autumn breeze squeezing in from her waist.
Click.
With another snip of the scissors, her clothes were torn even deeper upwards.
Xu Zhaozhao's breathing was rapid, her chest heaving violently, and she squeezed out a few words through her teeth.
"You want to force yourself on me?"
As if he had guessed what Yu Yao was thinking, he looked up at her, his eyes filled with his undisguised madness and obsession.
He threw the scissors aside, and even though Xu Zhaozhao's hands were tied, he still hooked his little finger around hers.
"Sister, we will have children too, and we will have a wedding too."
His sister should have belonged to him from the start, but Gu Qingyan stole her away, using the child to take her away.
"What era are we living in? You don't think that I or he would 'care' about so-called innocence, do you?"
Xu Zhaozhao tried her best to make her voice sound normal.
"Xiaoyao, it's not too late to stop now. If you really do that, the Gu family, the Song family, and even the Yu family will not let you off the hook."
"Where did the child come from? Where did the wedding come from?"
Yu Yao's smile deepened, her eyes holding a venomous tenderness as she looked at Xu Zhaozhao.
"Sister, you may have misunderstood."
His hand touched her face, and Xu Zhaozhao endured the discomfort without turning her head away.
"The child and the wedding I'm talking about... will take place in a romantic place just for the two of us, in the underworld."
He uttered those chilling words without the slightest hesitation.
Xu Zhaozhao shuddered violently and collapsed limply.
If you can't grow old together in life, then you'll drag her to the underworld with you, right?
So you want to take her to the underworld, and then have your own pleasure too?
Xu Zhaozhao just wanted to spit in his face.
But no, because if she opens her mouth, she'll vomit.
Yu Yao picked up the scissors again, and Xu Zhaozhao quickly stopped her, "Wait!"
He looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Xu Zhaozhao's face remained expressionless. "So how are we going to die? We should at least die a respectable death in the underworld, right?"
His gaze was downward.
The wind blew open Xu Zhaozhao's shredded clothes, revealing her slender waist, and a moment of infatuation flashed in Yu Yao's eyes.
"My sister's waist is beautiful... let's sew it together with mine."
He wanted to reach out and touch it, but seemed hesitant, only staring intently at it.
"That way, once we get to the underworld, we can... stay together forever..."
Every word he said shattered Xu Zhaozhao's worldview.
Shock, disgust, hypocrisy... and other emotions weighed on her heart, leaving her speechless for a moment.
"Sister, is this sofa comfortable?"
Yu Yao stroked the sofa beneath her; its soft, plush fabric felt very comfortable. He continued talking to himself.
"This was sewn from the skins of 100 cats; it took me a lot of effort..."
The skins of 100 cats...
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't hold it in and vomited.
But I was tied up here without eating anything today, and I didn't vomit anything, just a lot of sour water.
The cat, which had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly started meowing and making a fuss.
It kept meowing, which was getting a bit annoying.
"Sister, are these cats bothering you?"
Yu Yao didn't give Xu Zhaozhao a chance to answer. She stood up and walked into the shadows. "I'll take care of them for you."
Xu Zhaozhao started gagging again, and even after emptying her stomach, she still felt nauseous.
His first instinct wasn't to care about himself, but to deal with the cat. How awful...
Gradually, tears blurred Xu Zhaozhao's vision.
...
On the other side, the Song family compound.
The lights were on, but there was only deathly silence.
Now, only Gu Yulin and Song Zhiyu are sitting on the sofa.
But this time, Song Zhiyu wasn't eating melon seeds anymore; instead, she was silently shedding tears, which soaked through sheet after sheet of paper.
Gu Yulin also put down his computer. Although he was worried, he patted Song Zhiyu on the shoulder to give her a little warmth.
"mom!"
The silence was suddenly broken when Song Jinshi burst in through the door.
"Mom, my sister is missing?"
He was still in the recording studio when he received a call from Xia Huai saying that Xu Zhaozhao was missing. He rushed home without stopping.
Upon seeing her son, Song Zhiyu's strong exterior crumbled.
She threw herself into Song Jinshi's arms and burst into tears.
“Zhaozhao has gone missing. Your father… Xiaoyan… has been looking for her.”
She spoke haltingly and indistinctly, "Not...not found yet..."
But Song Jinshi understood and comforted his mother.
"Aren't there any clues? Why are you searching the whole city? It's so hard to find someone like that!"
The capital city is populated by a large and diverse population, and even someone with exceptional skills would find it time-consuming to search an entire city.
That's really thoughtful of him; his sister passed away a long time ago.
"That thief... he's so clever!" Song Zhiyu cried sadly.
Although he's mischievous, he's not rushing home to see his mother cry.
His gaze fell on Gu Yulin.
"Nephew, do you have any clues to show me?"
If Gu Qingyan couldn't be found, what could Gu Yulin possibly have? Aside from those two pitifully few surveillance videos, there were reports of him not being found after searching various places.
But he still pointed the computer screen at Song Jinshi.
Song Jinshi helped Song Zhiyu sit on the sofa. "Mom, sit down next to me and cry. I'll listen."
Song Zhiyu was too exhausted to argue with him anymore, so she just sat next to him and cried silently.
Gu Yulin suddenly understood why he wasn't allowed to tell his grandmother immediately.
If Grandpa doesn't come home, Grandma can cry herself to sleep.
The information from those two surveillance videos was pitifully scarce.
He repeatedly played the surveillance footage of Xu Zhaozhao leaving the villa.
Seeing her daughter's face, Song Zhiyu felt increasingly saddened and bumped her head against Song Jinshi's shoulder, causing his fingers to press off to the side.
I meant to press the screen button, but I pressed the volume up button instead, turning the speaker to maximum.
"mom……"
Just as Song Jinshi was about to speak to comfort Song Zhiyu, a faint sound coming from the speaker made him freeze.
The video automatically replayed, and he checked again to make sure he hadn't misheard.
"You piece of shit!"
Song Jinshi stood up in anger.
With one hand supporting Song Zhiyu, he excitedly dialed a phone number with the other.
"Dad, I know where my sister is!!"
