13: C13 I'll Stop My Horse at the Edge of the Cliff

C13 I'll Stop My Horse at the Edge of the Cliff

That pair of flaming eyes contained a kind of killing intent that could be called killing intent. The current Yang Xinyi almost wanted to cut me into a thousand pieces.

However, in the deepest part of that pair of eyes, there was a kind of undetectable weakness.

There was also fear.

That weakness and fear made me especially excited. I couldn't wait to tear apart that layer of disguise on this woman's body and expose her weakest side completely.

...

"Don't..."

Yang Xinyi let out an ear-piercing scream.

Yang Xinyi's eyes were wide open and her entire body was trembling.

The expression on my face became more and more distorted and excited.

The intense fear in her heart that she had never felt before even caused a trace of despair to seep out of her eyes.

Two lines of clear tears rolled down uncontrollably from the corner of Yang Xinyi's eyes.

I was originally prepared to continue insulting Yang Xinyi but when I inadvertently saw Yang Xinyi's face, especially those two lines of tears, I couldn't help but cry.

In that instant, I felt as though a sharp dagger had stabbed into my heart.

That hopeless and hopeless face made me feel as if I had been violently smashed by a hammer.

My movements involuntarily stopped.

I... What am I doing?

My body trembled vigorously. A layer of cold sweat appeared on my body almost instantly. The mirror on the top of the wardrobe beside the bed reflected my current appearance.

When I saw my own appearance, I was shocked.

In the mirror, I saw a hideous and disgusting face that looked like a monster.

Both of his eyes were red.

That weak and beautiful woman was like a little lamb, about to be completely destroyed by me.

The person in the mirror, is it really me?

Is that really not an evil ghost?

When did I become like this? Although I am a bastard, I have never done such a thing before, using force to take a woman.

Before this... Anger and humiliation seemed to have completely plunged me into an endless darkness, like a bottomless abyss.

I suddenly raised my right hand and gave myself a slap.

With a slap, I finally woke up a little.

Lowering my head to look at Yang Xinyi, I slowly moved my body away.

Yang Xinyi did not know what was going on. Why did I suddenly give up at such a crucial moment?

But Yang Xinyi knew that she seemed to be saved for the time being.

Almost instinctively, her body kept moving backward on the bed until she reached the bedside. Her large eyes were still looking at me in fear.

I looked at Yang Xinyi. Her clothes were still tattered and her body was almost completely exposed. I casually pulled the blanket and prepared to throw it to Yang Xinyi to cover her.

But I did not expect that this action would cause Yang Xinyi to feel extreme fear.

She suddenly screamed and grabbed something with both hands, waving it wildly at me.

"Don't, don't come over." Yang Xinyi screamed.

However, when I saw the thing in Yang Xinyi's hand, I couldn't help but laugh.

Smile?

Still smiling? At a time like this, he could actually still laugh?

"Hey, do you think you're holding a knife in your hand?" I asked Yang Xinyi.

Yang Xinyi was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that she was holding a pair of stockings from before.

The fear and resentment that she had been holding back suddenly deflated like a broken rubber ball. She weakly threw the stockings in her hand to the side.

"Sorry, I seemed to have lost control just now." Taking a deep breath, I took out a cigarette from my pocket and sat by the bed, lighting it.

The smoke lingered around me, and my throat and lungs felt a burning pain.

"It was my fault. I'll admit it even if you beat me and scolded me. I just won't allow anyone to insult my grandfather." I said softly.

Yang Xinyi seemed to have calmed down a little. "Your grandfather... is very good to you?"

I didn't expect Yang Xinyi to ask such a question.

After a moment of silence, I replied, "Yes, if it wasn't for my grandfather, I would have died a long time ago..."

"My parents are trash gamblers. You know about this. Ever since I was born, it was almost my grandfather who took care of me."

"It was my grandfather who raised me up with one hand."

"Then... what about your grandfather?" Yang Xinyi frowned.

"He's dead. He's been dead for many years." I smiled bitterly and replied.

Yang Xinyi's heart skipped a beat and her expression changed slightly.

"Lung cancer. My grandfather likes to smoke. When I was six years old, I suddenly quit smoking. At the beginning, I didn't know what happened."

"It wasn't until I was nine that I found out that he had lung cancer. It was just that his family was poor and didn't have money to treat it, so he stayed close to it. After three years, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell ill..."

"It was my grandfather who raised me. He raised me for nine years. I said that I'm not going to school anymore. I'm going to work, even if it's to pick up trash. It's my turn to raise Grandfather, but he secretly bought rat medicine. He ate it and died..." I said in a low voice, as if I was talking about something completely unrelated to myself. However, the tears in my eyes could not be controlled no matter what.

"Later on, when I was packing my things, I realized that in these three years, Grandpa... He actually saved thirty thousand yuan for me to use in school in the future. Unfortunately, that thirty thousand yuan was also taken away by my parents. Take it to gamble. It'll be gone in less than three days."

Yang Xinyi finally understood why I was so angry when I scolded my grandfather.

"I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have scolded your grandfather..." Yang Xinyi said in a low voice.

Seeing Yang Xinyi apologize, the resentment in her heart disappeared at this moment.

Taking a deep breath, I stood up, "Alright, I should leave. Don't worry, I won't tell you about our matters. However, you have to find another person to impersonate us."

"Lastly, I beg of you to call the police later so that I can have some time to escape..."1

As I spoke, I walked towards the door.
