“What is your purpose in coming here now? Are you here to try and stop me?”
Xue An’s voice was subtle and understated, but to Daxiong’s ears, it sounded as deafening as a clap of thunder. It was a voice that terrified him so much. He anxiously shook his head.
“No, no. I would never dare to do that, even if I was forced to. I heard you were here so I hurried down to offer you my services.”
These flattering words made Xie Jingjing’s eyes widen in surprise. She was confused by what was going on. All she could do was look questioningly at Xue An.
Her Brother An… When had he become so powerful?
Even a notorious Big Brother like Daxiong had to come here to extend his welcome and offer his services. And he did it with such reverence and respect too.
Meanwhile, We Zefeng went paler in the face and his entire body trembled with fear.
It had finally dawned on him that he had provoked someone he should never have messed with.
Just a few minutes ago, he had actually thought that this strange man was just a weakling that he could push around. It was ironic, through and through, now that he thought about it.
When Xue An’s gaze came to rest on him, Wu Zefeng fell to his knees with a thud and he began kowtowing as though he was using his head to mash garlic on the floor.
“Please show mercy, Mr. Xue. Please show mercy, Mr. Xue. It’s my fault. I didn’t use my brains. I let my lust take over my body. I should never have disturbed your friend. You’re a magnanimous man with a big heart, please let me off this time!”
There was a confused look in Xie Jingjing’s eyes as she looked at Wu Zefeng, who was kneeling on the ground and shaking with genuine fear. Once upon a time, this was the guy who was so high and mighty that he could do anything he pleased while controlling everyone in school. But right now, he looked like an old, abandoned dog kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
Daxiong secretly stole a glance at Xue An. He noticed how indifferent Xue An’s expression was, and he felt a little tug in his heart.
He was afraid that Xue An would have a sudden outburst and then he would be implicated once again.
But obviously, Xue An could not be bothered to pay attention to him. He merely walked up slowly to stand before Wu Zefeng and looked down at him condescendingly.
Wu Ze Feng was trembling all over. He felt a warm sensation at his crotch and a pungent smell of urine spread around the room.
He was so frightened that he had peed in his pants.
” I have no wish to kill you.”
Wu Zefeng breathed a sigh of relief. But secretly, he was filled with resentment as he thought of ways to exact his revenge. “Once I make it through this time around, I will find the chance to kill both you and Xie Jingjing,” he thought to himself.
But of course, he kept a fearful expression on his face.
What he heard next shattered his plans.
“But if apologizing works so easily, then no one in this world would deserve their deaths.”
As he spoke, Xue An stomped his feet on Wu Zefeng’s head and said indifferently, “Remember, in your next lifetime, don’t be so arrogant.”
With that, Xue An pressed down with his feet.
Poof.
Wu Zefeng’s head was crushed under a single blow.
His brains erupted as his skull was demolished. Blood splattered everywhere.
A nauseating stench of blood filled the air.
Everyone was watching in silence, too afraid to make any utterance.
Daxiong was someone who had witnessed life and death many times before, but watching a scene like this still came as a shock to him. He felt as though all the hair on his body was standing on end and his scalp tightened.
He quickly realized that Xue An’s danger level was much, much higher than he anticipated.
Daxiong came to the conclusion that in the future, if this killing machine was present, he would scoot as far away as possible. It was best that they never crossed paths ever again.
With that, this matter was concluded.
Xue An’s expression was calm as he tugged on a dumbfounded Xie Jingjing as a sign to go. He then said to Daxiong, “I’m leaving now. I’ll leave you to clear up this mess.”
Daxiong eagerly nodded his head. “Don’t worry, Mr. Xue. Leave everything to me!”
Xue An left.
Only then did Daxiong finally let out a long sigh of relief, as though a great burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Then he realized that he was drenched in cold sweat from head to toe.
“Brother Xiong, what do we do with this dead body?” Someone asked in a quiet voice.
Daxiong shot him a vicious glare. “It’s a dead body! Just find a bag and send it back to the Wu family!”
“But if someone from the Wu family asks…”
Daxiong laughed coldly in response. “Then you tell the Wu family that the person who killed Wu Zefeng is a big shot that even Brother Fan doesn’t dare to mess with. If they want to take revenge, then go ahead by all means! The only thing is, don’t get me involved!”
“Yes!”
Daxiong looked at the dead body of Wu Zefeng and ruthlessly spat on it. “You think you’re so smart. You deserved what happened to you.”
Just outside Blue Fire KTV, the chill in the cold wind made Xie Jingjing feel much more awake.
She looked at Xue An with some trepidation, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She did not know how to feel.
She hated Wu Zefeng!
But she did not expect Xue An to kill him. And out in public too!
After all, all life is precious!
“Are you feeling scared?” Xue An suddenly asked.
Xie Jingjing was silent.
Xue An smiled and said, “There were a dozen hidden cameras in that room just now. If I had not come for you, you can only imagine what the consequences would have been.”
Xie Jingjing felt a sudden lurch in her heart. She thought of the things that had seen on the Internet. There were plenty of those types of videos that were secretly recorded without consent.
If that had really happened, then her life would be ruined.
Xue An looked up at the sky and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
Along the way, Xie Jingjing remained silent. When they finally reached the front door of her house, Xie Jingjing suddenly hugged Xue An from behind.
“Brother An… I’m sorry!”
Xue An’s expression was hidden in the darkness of this bleak, cold night. It was only a moment later that he smiled.
“That’s all right. It’s all over now. Go home, get some sleep, and be a good student when tomorrow comes.”
Xie Jingjing’s nervous heart was about to jump out of her chest. That faint scent on Xue An’s body was setting her heart on fire.
“Brother An… I’m all grown up now,” Xie Jingjing said softly.
Xue An fell silent for a moment, then he reached out his hand to ruffle Xie Jingjing’s hair. With a chuckle, he said, “No matter how grown up you are, in my eyes, you’re still that little kid I knew back then. ”
Mr. Xue and Auntie Chubby had been sitting in the house waiting expectantly for their daughter to return.
When Xue An returned with Xie Jingjing, Mr. Xie was the first to jump to his feet and hug his daughter. Tears were falling down his face.
This was a man who would usually put up a strong front, and would never show his emotions. But he was the one who doted on Xie Jingjing the most.
Xie Jingjing felt a little lonely in her heart.
She knew what Xue An meant by those words he had said to her.
But everything that happened today was etched in Xie Jingjing’s mind.
That startling sound and that line that Xue An had said: “Take you home.”
These were things that Xie Jingjing would never forget in her life.
She did not care though. It was not a sin to like someone, right?
Xie Jingjing’s stubborn temper was back in action.
At this time, Auntie Chubby held Xue An’s hands and said with tears in her eyes, “Oh Xiao An, how can your Uncle Xie and Auntie Chubby ever be able to thank you!”
Xue An smiled and said, “Auntie Chubby, Uncle Xie, Jingjing is just like my little sister. It was my responsibility. There’s no need to talk about thanking me at all.”
“Yes, of course!” Auntie Chubby wiped her tears from her face. “Right, you guys haven’t had anything to eat, right? Xie, stop crying like a little girl. Hurry and go whip up something to eat.”
Mr. Xie wiped his tears away and said, “Alright!”
Xue An originally wanted to decline the offer. But seeing the happy looks on Mr. Xie and Auntie Chubby’s faces, he found it difficult to say anything more.
The meal was prepared in a jiffy, but it was a very sumptuous one, nonetheless.
Mr. Xie even took out the last bottle of aged wine from his precious collection and personally filled Xue An’s glass with it.
Xue An was aware that this was the old couple’s simplest and most straightforward way of expressing their gratitude. So, he laughed and downed his drink in one gulp.
Xie Jingjing watched from the side.
At this moment, Xue An was gentle and well-mannered.
But just a few minutes ago, he was like killing machine from hell.
Which of these two personas was the real him?
