Chapter 179: I Will Die

She glared at him, as though teaching her younger brother a lesson. Only then did Xiao Ye say, “Fine, fine, no matter what, I’ll give you a call and wait for you to come and save me, alright.”

That was the last sentence he ever said that day. She still remembered.

On the day of the meet up, she kept waiting in the alley. For some reason why, her heart was jumping really quickly that day. She kept thinking that it was because she had not slept well last night. She only understood that it was a premonition after everything happened.

She waited for a long time. She kept pacing back and forth in the alley, kept touching the phone in her pocket, kept waiting for someone to call her and inform her what was happening. No matter good or bad, as long as someone was able to tell her.

She waited until the sky was almost dark, and then she saw the person who had accompanied Third Young Master in the afternoon.

He stood before her and he did not look very good. She understood in an instant that something had probably happened.

“What happened?” She asked.

“Third Young Master wanted me to take you back.”

“I asked you what happened?!”

That person did not speak and only came up to her and restrained her, twisting her arm and dragging her away.

She swung her arm out of his grip and asked him loudly, “I asked you what happened?!”

That person remained silent and continued to restrain her.

“I want to see them! Where’s Third Young Master? Where’s Xiao Ye? What happened exactly, say something! Where are they?” She was almost howling.

He only spoke a sentence into her ear, “I’m sorry.”

And then her world turned dark.

When she woke up, there was nothing around her, just like all those years before. Her head was a little dizzy, and this made her feel as though she had returned to the past, but she soon quickly remembered the events before she fell unconscious. She immediately sat up and wanted to leave, but a bunch of people rushed in from outside and forced her to lie back down.

“I want to see Third Young Master,” She said.

“It is not convenient for Third Young Master to see you now,” That person replied.

“You guys have to tell me what happened at least! Why do you all want to keep me in this godforsaken place and refuse to even let me leave?”

These were Third Young Master’s orders.

She was locked there against her will for a day, and then she managed to escape from there with a lot of difficulty. She went back to the nightclub that she frequented, thinking of looking for Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye would definitely be there if he returned. Everyone refused to tell her what happened, so she wanted to ask Xiao Ye, he would definitely know what exactly happened.

Except Xiao Ye was dead.

The boss of the nightclub she went to told her that. He said that he personally saw Xiao Ye’s body covered in a white sheet. There were a lot of injuries on his body, and he was covered in blood. Actually, he could no longer be saved when he arrived at the hospital, so a death certificate was issued just an hour after his arrival.

She felt completely stunned when the boss of the nightclub told her that. The only words she managed to hear was that Xiao Ye was dead, and she seemed to be unable to hear anything else that he said. Everything was simply a buzzing noise rushing back and forth around her ears.

She went to find Third Young Master. He was in the Intensive Care Unit, his eyes were closed and a lot of tubes were attached all over his body.

She did not dare to continue looking after one glance. She turned her back to him and tightly covered her mouth with her hands, not daring to make any noise. She buried her head in her arms and did not come out for a long time.

She was not even sure how she had spent those days after. She did not go to see Xiao Ye for the last time, and neither did she go to his funeral, as though she would have to accept that Xiao Ye was already gone if she went. She did not want to accept this fact, so she remained sitting at the rooftop letting the wind blow past her. The wind at the rooftop felt comfortable to her, but it also suddenly brought up memories of something that had happened a long time ago.

This matter from a long time ago actually let her understand something.

The batch of goods was still not resolved and remained in Wang Sheng’s hands. First and Second Young Masters were saved by Third Young Master, and were staying at home to remain in hiding for now, so no one knew when Wang Sheng would appear again.

Third Young Master was in the Intensive Care Unit for nine days. She went to see him the day he was transferred to a normal ward. He was still very weak, and he had a stubble on his chin, making him look extraordinarily decadent.

She said, “I’m leaving, Third Young Master.”

He listened to her.

“I’m going to find Wang Sheng. I will deal with everything, don’t worry about it.”

She kept speaking. “First and Second Young Masters are not in the condition to do it, and they don’t know when Wang Sheng will come and make trouble for them again, but someone has to deal with this mess before things can proceed.

“If I die in Wang Sheng’s hands this time, then take it as repayment for your kindness for taking me in that year. If I’m lucky enough to survive, let me leave, I wish to lead a normal life.”

Third Young Master rejected her, saying, “I will deal with Wang Sheng’s matters a few days later after I’m better.”

“I realize that I seem to understand a lot of things in this short period of time.” Her voice was calm as she suddenly spoke.

“What do you understand?” Third Young Master stared at her.

“Actually, I did not really understand why you would let Xiao Ye be your driver at that time, and I only understood a few days ago.”

Third Young Master looked at her, but he seemed to be looking at a spot behind her, staring past her eyes.

“Xiao Ye told me in the past that there was an old man who would keep secretly staring at him for a period of time. He said that old man had waited at the place where he once lived at and touched his behind before. When I found out that Xiao Ye had died a few days ago, a daring thought suddenly came to my head. That old man had to be Wang Sheng.”

She spoke the words out loud, “You knew that Wang Sheng liked Xiao Ye, didn’t you? So that was why you brought Xiao Ye along with you, even though he didn’t do anything much usually?”

Third Young Master scolded her, saying, “What rubbish are you talking about?!”

She glanced at his expression and smiled. She was able to see his true feelings even at this time. His eyes were filled with guilt. She thought, he probably did not expect her to know about this matter as well, so he was unable to hide his feelings in such a short amount of time.

“Third Young Master, the things you do certainly live up to your title of Poisonous Third.”

She did not cry and kept smiling in front of him. But she smiled and smiled and started to feel tired. She suddenly thought of Xiao Ye, what was he thinking during the last few moments of his life? Had he hoped that she would go and save him?

Xiao Ye had not known that Third Young Master was using him until he died, right? That’s good, not knowing was good, she could not imagine what he would feel if Xiao Ye found out.

She said, “I will try my best to settle this one last matter for you. No matter how things turn out, the both of us no longer owe anything to each other.

“Third Young Master, I wouldn’t stop me if I were you. You can’t stop me either, you know that. I’m just like you, we dislike changing our decisions once we’ve made them.

“Whether I’m alive or dead in the future is no longer your business.”

Third Young Master finally asked her, “Are you sure you want to do this?”

She nodded.

Third Young Master said after a long time, “I hope that you can stay alive. No matter what happens, if you’re alive, then leave here as you wish. I will not question your life in the future.”

After she left Third Young Master’s side, she went to where Xiao Ye had lived. She tidied up his place, packed all the things he had loved into a big box and moved it to her place. The goldfish that he kept was also taken away by her and released into a pond.

Before she left, she tidied up her own room. She put Xiao Ye’s box into the deepest part of the storeroom so that no-one else could touch it. It was the safest place for it.

She went to see Wang Sheng. She brought a recording pen along with her, but no weapons. She stood opposite Wang Sheng, while there were many men at his side. He never truly looked at her from the start to the end, probably thinking that she was a naive brat who had come here to die.

She smiled, but she did not say out Wang Sheng’s thoughts nor her own. She had come here not just to get killed herself, but to send him to his own death as well.

She had never gone into a fight unprepared. She tricked Wang Sheng into speaking with her alone and secretly pressed the recording pen hidden on her chest to record him. She lured him into saying a lot of things, and then gently pressed the pen again to send the recording to the police.

After that, she took another empty recording pen that looked exactly the same and waved it at him, telling him that he would probably be taken to the police station for investigation at this time tomorrow.

Wang Sheng smiled and said that her actions were unnecessary. He had a lot of connections within the police, otherwise he would not have lived until now.

She smiled too and slowly walked closer to him. She held the recording pen high up with both hands, as though she was going to pass it to him. Then in a flash, she swiftly covered his mouth and pressed the button on the pen. A knife popped out from below, and she forcefully drove the knife right into Wang Sheng’s heart.

She saw Wang Sheng stare at her with his eyes widened. His hands were gripping hers, leaving bloody red impressions on her arm, but she did not feel the pain. The moment she saw Wang Sheng fall, she quietly spoke a sentence to herself; “My main purpose of coming here was to take your life.”

Wang Sheng lay on the ground, and she used her feet to drive the knife even deeper into his heart.

There were noises at the entryway, and Wang Sheng’s cronies came.

The moment she saw them rush towards her, she smiled, as though she had seen her final destination.

She would die at the hands of these people. These people who had the same blood-stained hands as hers.

She would personally watch them kill her, personally see her blood flow out until she had none left. She had never thought that she would be able to walk out of there alive.

Song Nianmu would die there that day, she deeply believed in that.

A man had already rushed to her side with a dagger. The dagger was deadly sharp, and he plunged it right into her chest. Fresh blood flowed out from the wound, and the people around her attacked her even more ferociously after seeing that she was injured. Their punches were powerful, and she could not hold on any longer. She slowly fell down, lying on the bloody ground.

That was her last memory. That was Song Nianmu’s and Lina’s last memory.
