Huang He looked at the eye-patch guy. “You believe the words of the b*stard beside you?”
Liang seemed dumbstruck while the eye-patch guy laughed. “So are you saying I should trust you, the undercover, instead?”
Huang He’s eyebrows moved but his expression did not change. “Whatever that needed an explanation has been addressed by Brother Steel. I don’t have any other explanation, only a sentence—if you killed me here today, my men will not let you off, either.”
He paused for a while, squinted his eyes, and swept a glance at Fang Yuanyuan.
“You won’t be able to account to Danyue as well. By then, our people will be fighting against each other. In the end, the police are the ones who gain from the fall out…”
After Zhou Dequan’s death, Tian Danyue was the one who took over his business.
Huang He was Tian Danyue’s beau; the eye-patch guy should weigh the odds before coming to a decision.
Brother Steel saw hope when the eye-patch guy was stumped for a moment.
“Second Brother, he’s telling the truth! We shouldn’t go against Sister Danyue… she’s one of our key clients…”
“You’re right!” The eye-patch guy nodded his head in agreement but suddenly gave a laugh as he turned to Fang Yuanyuan and patted on her face. “Then I shall trouble Brother Crown Prince to… kill this love rival of Danyue personally!?”
Kill me?
Fang Yuanyuan felt she had suffered a blow in her heart.
When she heard Tian Danyue’s name being mentioned every now and then, it was torturous enough for her.
Now, they even wanted Huang He to kill her personally…
Hmm, come to think of it, this scene sure felt tragic.
If Yuanyuan really died in the hands of Huang He, could it be considered an end to their relationship?
Fang Yuanyuan faced Huang He courageously.
“Will you kill me?”
The corners of his lips quirked up. Huang He replied, “I’ve never killed anyone.”
After that, he looked at the eye-patch guy. “Ever since I’ve worked in this line of business, my hands have not been stained with blood. So Second Brother wants me to break this taboo?”
“Hahahaha!” The eye-patch guy laughed like a forthright man, revealing a row of yellowish teeth due to long-term smoking. “Break the taboo! I like this phrase. You’re surely an interesting ex-detective! As long as you break this taboo, you’re considered to have really entered the underworld!”
“…”
Huang He had a frosty smile but did not answer.
The eye-patch guy continued to incite him, “Look, as long as you kill this woman personally, I’ll believe you and our boss will also believe you as well.”
As long as Huang He killed someone, he would be a criminal.
That seemed to be the only way to prove he was not an undercover detective.
The eye-patch guy felt proud to have thought of this plan and his face showed a hint of self-satisfaction.
…
They were currently around mid-mountain and the winds were quite harsh.
Fang Yuanyuan’s eyes were open and she couldn’t stop tearing up… because of the winds.
She couldn’t stop the tears, she felt so bitter and her heart was as if fallen into the abyss.
She saw Huang He took a step toward her.
Another step.
And another step…
He walked toward her without any expression.
He was looking at her, as well as everyone.
Every step of his felt as though stepping on her heart.
“Fine, I’ll do it!” he said in a firm tone.
That serious tone of his seemed to be devoid of feelings.
It was as though it was a stranger that Fang Yuanyuan had never met before.
At that moment, he seemed cold-blooded and heartless, giving a feeling as if those happy times that they had experienced together had never existed.
Those sweet murmurs under the covers were as if a sweet dream only to her alone.
“There’s always a first time to everything.”
Huang He said slowly and took another step.
By then, he was about 10 steps away from Fang Yuanyuan.
Too close!
They could now see each other very clearly.
It was close enough that they would not miss any tiny expression on each other’s face.
They looked at each other, the atmosphere was as if frozen for a moment.
It was rare that the eye-patch guy and his group kept quiet as well.
People who liked dramas did not really care about the circumstance.
They were waiting to see how things would turn out, but the two who were caught in the storm seemed to be calm about it.
Fang Yuanyuan looked up with some difficulty. Her gaze fell on Huang He without flinching.
“I still remember back when you’re chasing after me. You’re really sincere and serious… as if you wanted to be together with me this lifetime.”
She sounded as though she was smiling, yet it also sounded like she was sobbing.
Huang He pursed his lips tightly, not saying a word but instead took another step forward.
The gun he was holding was pointed at her forehead.
Fang Yuanyuan could see the dark muzzle of the gun clearly with their distance.
The fear in her heart was overwhelmed by the pain of devastation.
“However, when you dumped me, you were very serious as well. You were so harsh that I felt so humiliated from head to toe…
“In actual fact, when I just got to know you, I feel that you’re a good person and if we were to break up one day, you won’t make things so ugly…
“It turned out that not only you made things so ugly, you actually went beyond my expectations by cheating and lying to me…
“Even so, I’ve never thought that you will be so ruthless.”
She started to cry.
In no time, her tears ran down her ashen cheeks.
“Since you’re such a jerk, can’t you take it further? For instance, couldn’t you just pretend that you can’t bear to part with me and have your foot in both camps? Why must you dump me?”
Fang Yuanyuan’s words told of her grief and pain.
By now, she had a tear-stained face.
“You’re not even willing to pretend in front of me and left me for her without even turning back. Since you’re so heartless toward me, she must be so glad, right?”
The howling sounds of the winds sounded like Fang Yuanyuan’s cries.
It was light, faint, and sorrowful.
Even the group of men who heard these could not help feeling bitter for her.
“There was once a time I wanted to share my world with you,” she sobbed, “but you turned around and treated me like a stranger…”
Huang He took another step forward while furrowing his eyebrows. His raised arm still remained unchanged at the same position as the gun pointed at her without any sign of wavering.
“Does it help to say all these now?”
His voice sounded emotionless as usual as well.
But his eyes kept staring at her.
No movement, no change.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at the man she had loved with her heart.
“If I didn’t meet you here, I wouldn’t have said all these as it’s true that they’re of no use.”
She smiled and said seriously.
“It’s simply because we happened to meet here.”
She laughed again and sounded even more solemn than earlier.
“Aren’t you going to kill me personally?”
Fang Yuanyuan was completely crushed by her emotions.
“I’m going to die anyway. And you don’t even allow me to vent my frustrations?!”
Huang He’s arm moved a little. “… Are you done?”
“Not yet!” Fang Yuanyuan looked at him in anger, her tears still flowing. “I’ve never thought you’re a womanizer. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have chosen me.”
Huang He: “…”
He kept quiet.
And just looked at her without a word.
No one hurried him yet. He did not attempt to stop Fang Yuanyuan from talking as well.
Fang Yuanyuan continued to vent her frustrations. “Can you tell me why you want to be with that old woman? Is it really as per what they’ve said earlier that you’re just using her?… I want an answer from you so that when I die, I’ll die with no regrets, alright?”
Huang He’s lips moved a little before he answered her.
“She’s not an old woman. She’s simply older than me by a year.”
Hur! Fang Yuanyuan almost forgot the dire situation she was in. “Something must be bleeping wrong with you!”
When a woman was burning with jealousy, it could destroy the world.
“Things are already like this and you’re still shielding her?” She chided him loudly, “Can’t you just say something nice and coax me?”
Huang He did not talk.
Fang Yuanyuan was making a scene where she continued to cuss and kick her legs as though she wanted to kick him to death.
“You *sshole! You said you liked me. You said that you’ll only like me forever. You big liar!”
She started to speak louder and louder.
Huang He’s eyebrows squeezed together again. “People do change.”
Fang Yuanyuan burst into tears and looked at him pitifully. But ultimately, there were only her sobbing sounds. “Tell me then, have you ever liked me?”
This question seemed tough to answer.
Huang He paused for a while and then turned his head away. “I don’t remember. It’s been so long already.”
Fang Yuanyuan did not want to let him off. “How can you not remember? If you don’t bleeping remember anything, then do you remember making out with me?”
“…”
Some of the triad members couldn’t really hold their laughter as some soft chuckles were heard.
The shrewish character of Fang Yuanyuan amused them.
Precisely because of this that they were not in a hurry to press Huang He to kill her right away.
Huang He’s gaze seemed somewhat complicated. He seemed to contemplate for a few seconds before looking at Fang Yuanyuan.
“The day before yesterday, Huang He might have liked you, but after tomorrow, Huang He might have liked someone else. Men are like this…”
He turned to look at the eye-patch guy and Brother Steel. “Why are you talking about love in front of a group of men? You’ll just get laughed at.”
“I’m about to die, why should I worry about being laughed at?” Fang Yuanyuan started to wail. Her emotions were like a water tap that once it was turned on, it could not be controlled. “You’re so stupid…”
When a woman starts to wail, it could be unbearable to those around her.
The eye-patch guy started to lose his patience, the level of interest to watch more drama dwindled sharply as well.
“Stop crying now!”
He gave her a tight slap. Fang Yuanyuan’s swollen face suffered another slap.
The eye-patch guy was certainly rough and violent toward women.
“That’s enough, Brother Crown Prince, you can kill her off now!” The eye-patch guy looked at Huang He. “Let me reiterate one more time. Once you break the taboo… you’re one of us. Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave this mountain…”
If she did not die, then all of them would die together.
Fang Yuanyuan had heard it very clearly.
She had cried so much that she was in a deeply sorrowful state. In respect to life or death, she had become quite numb to that notion.
In her mind, the moment she thought about Huang He and Tian Danyue behaving intimately together, even if nobody was pointing a gun at her, she already felt like jumping down from a tall building. Why would she be afraid of death?
She looked at Huang He’s indifferent face.
“I know that you won’t let me off because you want to live,” she gritted her teeth, “I only have one request to ask of you.”
A dying person’s last wish was hard to refuse.
Huang He did not say anything. The eye-patch guy was also waiting for her to make her last request.
Fang Yuanyuan gave a sniffle. Her eyes were red from all the crying, her face was swollen, and her voice sounded hoarse. It was a pathetic sight to behold.
“Return me the birthday present that I gave you!”
