The heavy rain poured down, the abandoned land in the suburbs of Riverside City, and the dim lights were flickering.
Ruan Qingyan looked at the man kneeling in front of her. Her hands were trembling, but she was determined to untie the ropes that bound her.
She shook her head crazily, and there was a ferocious and ugly burn on one side of her face. She stared at him with her scarlet eyes. In addition to shock, there were unspeakable sadness and despair in her heart.
Her pale lips opened and closed. "Sir, it's not worth it!"
What's more, they rarely saw each other.
The first time she saw him was at her engagement ceremony. The second time she saw him at the wedding ceremony, followed by several cooperation meetings.
But no matter what he did, it was not worth it.
There were dozens of knife wounds and gun wounds on his body. Warm blood was winding on the ground into a red stream, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Huo Xiuhan coughed out a mouthful of blood and held her tightly in his arms. He gently stroked her hair with his big palm and said firmly and resolutely, "It's worth it."
"Bang bang bang!" Several gunshots rang out in the warehouse, and the bullets entered Huo Xiuhan's chest.
Ruan Qingyan's eyes widened in grief. "Mr. Huo!!"
The man leaning on her shoulder spat out a mouthful of blood. It was hot and burning hot. Suddenly, his low laughter came. "Ahem... the little girl has never met anyone in her life. If... if there is a next life, don't like him, okay?"
The man in her arms struggled to raise his head, held her face with his trembling hands, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.
Even though he was in a mess, his smile was still gentle. "Be good, don't cry... I'm sorry, I'm late. I couldn't save you..."
He lowered his head and kissed her on the corner of her mouth. After a while, he leaned back on her shoulder and promised in a low voice with his last bit of strength, "Yanyan, if there is a next life, I will definitely... definitely find you first..."
He only said half of the last word. Tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes. His big palm slipped around her and he was dead.
Ruan Qingyan's pupils constricted and her heart skipped a beat. "Mr. Huo!!!"
As his voice fell, his scarlet and sad eyes suddenly widened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her abdomen moved forward from the back, and a steel knife passed through it.
A light laugh sounded behind her. "Ruo Qingyan, you should have died a long time ago!"
Ruan Qingyan's eyes were stained with blood and hatred. She stared at the two people standing in front of her like a ghost in the dark night.
One was her ex-husband, Ji Pingdao, and the other was her half-sister, Yan Shuyi.
They bullied her! They insulted her! They lied to her! They ruined her appearance! They treated her like a beast and made her feel deeply grateful!
They threw her into the rotten and stinky world and climbed up by stepping on the bodies of countless people. It was a close shave, but they still could not escape from the killing of these two people.
As if he thought that she hadn't suffered enough, Ji Pingdao squatted in front of her and poked half of her disfigured face with a gun. "Ruo Qingyan, since you're about to die, I'll tell you another secret."
"The death of your parents was not an accident. It was an intentional murder. It was arranged by your Uncle Ji for the sake of your family property. Also, the collapse of the Huo Group just now was our Ji family's!"
After that, Ji Pingdao couldn't be bothered to look at them anymore. He played with the lighter in his hand and then threw it at the two of them who were hugging each other. The fire shone on the entire abandoned factory.
Her body was burning, her skin and flesh were torn open, and blood was gushing out. However, she laughed softly and whispered into Huo Xiuhan's ear, "Sir, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely find you first and protect you. Trust me."
The pain of despair spread along with the jumping fire. Ruan Qingyan was burned to death by the fire, but she did not let go of her arm until she died.
-
Her head was very dizzy, her eyelids were very heavy, and her limbs seemed to be tied to tens of millions of tons of stones. Even her resistance was weak.
There was a buzz in her ears. She was in a trance for a long time before she understood what they were talking about. "Hurry up and pry open this bitch's mouth! I haven't finished half of the bottle yet! I can't wait to see her being coquettish! Brother Lang's fiancee is going to be fun!"
Then, something slipped down the food path. Ruan Qingyan started coughing violently, and even her tears were coming out.
All of a sudden, the flash of the flashlight lit up, and the dazzling light stimulated Ruan Qingyan's nerves.
Then her heavy eyelids opened a gap, and she finally saw the scene in the room.
In the huge presidential suite, there were more than a dozen nearly naked men. The man who fed her the unknown liquid just now was... Ji Pingdao's number one lackey, Wang Kaize?
There were several cameras and cameras opposite her, which were in the direction of the flash just now.
This was... a hotel room!
Ruan Qingyan looked at the familiar scene in front of her in astonishment, and her memory quickly came back.
This was the night before she had gotten engaged to Ji Pingdao five years ago. This was the day before she had met Huo Xiuhan for the first time!
Ji Pingdao said that he wanted to spend the night with her before the engagement. He also said that there would be a surprise in the hotel room.
As a result, what was waiting for her in the hotel was endless humiliation! It was a aphrodisiac that could kill her! It was a face full of tears and despair under countless cameras! It was a dirty video that was always deleted in the black market!
But what about Ji Pingdao? That night in the next room, he had a great deal of trouble with Yan Shuyi! He didn't come back until the reporters had taken enough photos. He would take care of her for the rest of his life.
At that time, she was so humble and blind that she could hide that little bit of false affection in her arms like pearls and treasures. In the end, she was schemed to lose both her fortune and her life.
"Sister-in-law, you can't do this. You have to aim at the camera." The memory was interrupted. Wang Kaize grabbed her hair and pulled her up from the ground. He aimed her sallow and thin face at the camera with a grim smile.
It was as if he had already foreseen that when Ruan Qingyan's drug had taken effect, it would be ruined by this group of men!
Ruan Qingyan's eyes were scarlet, as if they were filled with blood and tears. Her eyes were full of killing intent. The thin girl suddenly smiled at the camera and said in a gloomy voice, "Okay!"
After that, she picked up the bottle on the table and smashed it on Wang Kaize's head with all her strength.
There was a slight stagnation in the surrounding air, and everyone was stunned.
Wang Kaize did not expect that Ruan Qingyan, who had always been weak and incompetent, dared to resist him!
He immediately flew into a rage. "Ruo Qingyan, you're such a b*tch. How dare you hit me! What the f*ck are you doing? Go ahead!"
Ruan Qingyan's scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her face was like the sickle of the god of death, and the evil ghosts were full of blades.
Wang Kaize didn't expect that such a thin and weak person, who had always been ugly, could show such a horrible look. He unconsciously took half a step back.
But he immediately realized it and cursed in his heart! He was actually frightened by this little b*tch!
Just when he was in a daze for a while, Ruan Qingyan rushed over and stabbed him in the thigh with a broken bottle.
A pig-killing scream sounded in the room. The scarlet blood flowed along the mouth of the bottle into her palm, as if it had ignited a switch in her body. The glaring red made her excited.
There was a dead silence in the hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ruan Qingyan, who was in a mess but full of killing intent.
