Chapter 884: 870, Stay Here if You Donât Want to Die (3) Chapter 884: 870, Stay Here if You Donât Want to Die (3) âGet out of my way, or youâll be the next I beat up,â Jian Luo said as he stood beside Jian Qing, casting her a warning glance with his icy gaze.
Jian Qing, staring at Zhao Xuanâs increasingly reddening face and the fear in her eyes, couldnât help but recall the car accident that had occurred seventeen years ago.
The sky was filled with snow, the blood horrifyingly red; her small body cradled her mommy, the unstoppable bleeding staining her hands red, yet she felt utterly powerless to save her.
That panic and helplessness still felt as clear as ever, as if it had happened just yesterday.
She had always thought that the accident was just thatâan accident, and her grandpa had later found the person who had hit and killed her mother. But now, it seemed that all of this was merely a scapegoat Zhao Xuan had found to deceive everyone.
Her grip on Zhao Xuanâs hand tightened relentlessly, the corners of her lips curving into a sharp, cold arc, âZhao Xuan, for the sake of An Chong, you didnât hesitate to run over my mom with a car, did you?â
âCough⊠I didnât⊠I didnât,â Even with death looming, she was still stubbornly refusing to admit to the crime she had committed.
âZhao Xuan, shall I start with your son or should I go after your daughter first?â Jian Qing looked at her calmly, yet her eyes were filled with unmelting frost.
âWhat do you want to do?â Zhao Xuan panicked immediately when her children, An Yun and his sister, were brought up.
Jian Qing let go, picked up the fruit knife on the ground, and swiftly pulled An Yu over, placing the bloody blade against her neck, âSpill the truth about what happened back then, or donât blame me for being ruthless.â
âYuyu!â Zhao Xuan steadied herself, and when she saw that An Yu had been captured, she reflexively looked at An Chong, hoping he would help save An Yu.
âZhao Xuan, tell the truth,â An Chong said.
Hearing this, Zhao Xuan felt utterly cold-hearted, realizing that for him, knowing the cause of Jian Weiâs death was still more important than his biological daughterâs safety.
She lifted her hand to wipe away the tears in the corner of her eyes, glanced at Jian Qing and the others, and admitted, âI did it, so what? Who asked her to destroy my family? She deserved it, she was a homewrecker.â
Right after her words fell, an irresistible force yanked her over.
Before she could see who had pulled her, a slap landed on her face.
âSlapââ
Zhao Xuan fell to the ground, her cheeks bearing distinct handprints, now symmetrical.
Mo Xiao looked down at her condescendingly, the corners of his eyes tinged with chilling frost, âZhao Xuan, if you keep running your dirty mouth, the consequences wonât just be a slap in the face.â
âAn Zhe, you said she was your woman, then why did you let her destroy my marriage? When An Chong kept her hidden away, do you have any idea how nasty the rumors in Beijing were? Because of that woman, I, Zhao Xuan, became a laughingstock, and I had no one to share my grief with,â Zhao Xuan got to her feet and screamed.
âZhao Xuan, had you not killed Jian Wei, my brother and I wouldnât have been punished by Grandpa because of it. It turns out you were the sole cause of it all,â An Rong jumped out and accused.
If it hadnât been for this matter, the old master wouldnât have looked down on them so much, to the point that he wouldnât even help them when they were in trouble.
âAn Rong, what right do you have to accuse me?â Zhao Xuan turned her head towards her, her gaze sliding over Zhou Qi and An Man and said with sarcasm, âIf weâre being honest, I should thank you all for enabling me to find Jian Weiâs address. Had I not overheard your conversation by chance, I wouldnât have been able to locate her that easily. If An Man hadnât taken Jian Luo away, forcing Jian Wei to chase after her, I wouldnât have been able to get rid of her all at once. So even if Iâm the ringleader, youâre all accomplices too.â
An Chong looked at her, filled with regret for having married such a woman.
If only he hadnât used the favor of saving her life to force Jian Wei to stay, perhaps she wouldnât have left this world so early.
Mo Xiao bowed his head, his fists clenched tight, and when he looked up again, his eyes were bloodshot as if he was a lion in a furious rage. His fingers curled into claws, ready to strike, but someone was faster than him.
Jian Qing grabbed Zhao Xuan and dragged her to the open space in the middle, and with an over-the-shoulder throw, Zhao Xuanâs plump body smashed onto the cold floor.
âThudââ
A heavy muffled sound, one could faintly hear the noise of bones being dislocated.
To the side, Quan Jingwu watched Jian Qing, who had suddenly turned ruthless, with a streak of heartache flickering through his eyes.
âMom!â An Yuâs face turned deathly pale, her legs gave way, and she fell to her knees, crawling and rolling towards Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain, curling up, a slight movement causing all her bones to feel as though they were being torn apart.
An Yu shielded Zhao Xuan with her body, turned her head to look at Jian Qing, the murderous intent coming her way caused her to shake uncontrollably, âJian Qing, killing is against the lawâŠâ
Before she could finish, Jian Qing lost her patience, her red lips slightly parted, âGet out of the way.â
An Yu looked at her defiantly, âI, I wonât let you hurt my mom.â
At this moment, Jian Qing was like a dragon that had been touched on its reverse scale, transformed into a vengeful demon from hell, her whole body emanating a deadly aura that pervaded the ward, rendering others afraid to approach.
She suddenly reached out, her pale hand easily picked up An Yu, and threw her to the side.
âAhââ
An Yu let out a scream, her piercing voice slightly grating to the ears.
An Yunâs facial expression changed slightly. He quickly reached out to catch her, preventing her from suffering the same fate as Zhao Xuan.
âJian Qing, donât go too far.â After putting down An Yu, An Yun angrily walked towards Jian Qing, only to be stopped halfway by Jian Luo.
âYour mom killed my mom, heh, you think this is going too far?â He hooked his lips into a cold smile, his gaze sharp as a sword shooting towards him, âSay one more word about my sister, and I wonât mind giving you a taste of what a bullet feels like.â
An Yun turned his head to meet his fierce eyes, clenched his fists tightly, feeling almost swallowed by a sense of powerlessness.
Jian Qing squatted down, grabbed Zhao Xuan by the hair, forcing her to lift her head, âZhao Xuan, back then, which hand did you use to drive the car, one hand or both hands, huh?â
âHissââ
Her scalp tore painfully, cold sweat appeared on Zhao Xuanâs forehead, her hands struggling to scratch at Jian Qingâs face, but she always fell just short.
Jian Qing released her grip, a trace of disgust flashing through her eyes, she reached down to pick up the fruit knife from the ground, then grabbed Zhao Xuanâs hand.
âBai Jue, did you bring those things?â she asked.
Bai Jue nodded understandingly, turned around and took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box, âPlenty to spare, guaranteed to be enough, absolutely making her unable to forget until death.â
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan struggled even more fiercely, but how could she break free from Jian Qingâs strength, âLuoluo, come and give me a hand.â
Hearing the request, Jian Luo didnât ask why; he walked over directly, and An Yun wanted to take the opportunity to rush forward to protect Zhao Xuan, but was stopped by Black Jack.
âIf you donât want to die, stay here.â
He held no shred of fondness for Zhao Xuan and her group; if it werenât for them causing the death of Jian Qingâs and his mother, Jian Luo might have ended up with autism.
