Chapter 2301
Murong Zhuan’s face tilted to one side, but instead of returning immediately, he maintained the motion of being knocked askew and lapsed into silence.
The tingling sensation in my palm came and my thoughts cleared just that little bit.
Yes, the truest reaction instead had a get-out-of-jail-free card in front of Murong Zhuan.
Swallowing my nervous spittle, I glared at him in resentful anger, “You deserve this.”
Only then did Murong Zhuan regain his composure and turn his face, looking slyly at me as I loosened my stiff neck, his gaze dangerous and stern.
Admitting defeat now would be a loss, I gritted my teeth and gave in, adding, “The game is over, I’m not playing, it’s a waste of time to play with someone like you who doesn’t follow the rules and has no bottom line.”
“When have I ever been unruly, what I promised you was to keep Fu Shen Yan alive, isn’t he alive and well now?” Murong Zhuan narrowed his eyes and looked at me thoughtfully, “Then am I to assume that you were wrong about this slap?”
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
But Murong Zhuan didn’t stop his aggressive rhythm, he suddenly reached out and cupped my jaw with his long, strong fingers.
His cold face came up to mine a little, and even the breath he exhaled seemed to be cold, “You deserve to be punished for making it, now, in front of everyone, coax me.”
I struggled, but only received increased force from his hands, which made my scalp tingle with pain, so I had to let go for the moment and replied vaguely, “What do you want?”
“Simple,” Murong smiled, “kiss me and hold me tight.”
I frowned at that, my remaining light quietly peeking in Fu Shen Yan’s direction, not answering.
Murong Zhuan took advantage of the situation and increased the intensity again, hurting me so much that I had to withdraw my eyes and look at him to listen to his lecture, “I’ve fulfilled so many of your requests, and as a courtesy, you shouldn’t refuse, otherwise, I’ll have to solve this misunderstanding in another way.”
With that, he smiled and looked towards the two of them, Fu Shen Yan and Chen Yi, at the entrance of the stairs, with a strong killing intent flashing under his eyes.
I suddenly understood Fu Shen Yan’s bitterness, there was nothing I couldn’t give up in front of my beloved’s life.
“Good.” I let go of my resisting hands and let them dangle at the sides of my body, closing my eyes and letting out a long breath, “I’ll do as I’m told, you let go.”
The force in Murong Zhuan’s hands instantly dissipated, turning into a gentle caress, “I like you too much the way you are now.”
What look?
Submissive, resentful but having to hold back, being swayed by him like a machine?
It’s just that I can’t have the upper hand every time, it would look even more suspicious.
“Let’s begin.” Murong patted my cheek and withdrew his hand, leaning over slightly, waiting to receive the ‘fruits of victory’.
I was almost ready to break, but after a torn glance at Fu Shen Yan, who was silent next to me, I suddenly had a flash of light, and the moment Murong Zhan closed his eyes, I raised my hand again, landing crisply, leaving a clear slap mark on his face.
Mu Rong Zhuan was finally enraged by me and grabbed me directly by the throat, “Seeking death.”
“Madam!” Chen Yi saw this and tried to come to my rescue, but he only heard a “bang” and fell to his knees.
Murong had somehow gotten the gun in his hand and hit him in the calf.
When I reacted again, the muzzle of the gun, which still held the bloodthirsty temperature of the last bullet, was already against my forehead.
Chapter 2302
He wouldn’t have fired that shot.
This was my subconscious guess.
But almost at the same time I was soberly aware that Murong Zhuan would only make the opposite choice to the norm, and that I couldn’t get away with this one bullet.
“Boom-”
“Uhhhh-!”
Before I could think of how to respond, Murong Zhuan swung his gun again and shot Chen Yi, who was trying to get up, through his other leg as well, blood gurgling on the ground, and he could only support himself by propping himself up on the ground with both hands.
Perhaps he was afraid of angering Murong again, but he was trembling with pain, but biting his lips to keep from screaming, so much so that the veins on his forehead were rippling from the excessive repression.
And Murong Zhuan was already red with murder, his gun slowly moving away from Chen Yi and pointing at Fu Shenyan, who was already badly wounded.
This had to be stopped.
I had no time to think, and my eyes quickly locked onto the gun in Murong Zhuan’s hand.
In the next second, I grabbed his hand and pulled it with all my strength, aiming the gun at my left shoulder, and with the help of Murong Zhuan’s finger, I pulled the trigger without hesitation.
“Bang–”
Muyong Zhuan tried to stop it, but it was too late, the bullet embedded in my flesh and blood, the wound felt like it was stuck by millions of needles at the same time, the dense pain almost made me faint.
The pain was so dense that I almost fainted. I couldn’t control my body anymore and I lost my weight and consciousness.
Even though it was clear that the wound was not fatal, my vision was blurred and I looked longingly in Fu Shen Yan’s direction.
He was looking at me.
Confirming this, I had no more worries and let myself fall backwards.
My last memory before passing out was of being dragged by someone around my waist and then losing all consciousness.
–.
My pupils swiveled and realising that I had survived, I quickly opened my eyes.
Judging from the décor around me and the distinctive smell of disinfectant in the air, I must be in a hospital at the moment.
I moved my fingers and pinched hard at the base of my thighs, covered by the blanket.
The bet had been won.
What about Fu Shenyan?
Desperate to prove it, I lifted the covers and forced myself to sit up from the bed, one leg outstretched, and before my foot could hit the ground, I was stopped by a familiar and sombre voice above my head, “Do you want to die with Fu Shenyan so badly?”
Fu Shenyan was dead?
No, he was lying. If he had killed Fu Shenyan, then he would not have left me alone.
“Of course,” I raised my head and looked at him with hatred, “I was born only when he was born, if he dies, there is no need for me to live, you can save me once, but not forever, as long as I find the opportunity, I will not hesitate to accompany Fu Shen Yan!”
“Do you think I would care?” Murong Zhuan’s pupils were dark, his expression indifferent, as lofty as a god of death from hell.
Of course he cares, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of leaving me alive.
Soon, Murong Zhuan would know just how terrifying emotions, a being as fierce as a flooding beast, really were.
“Of course I know you don’t care, so ……” Halfway through the sentence, I looked at the TV cabinet behind him, got up violently and slammed my head into it.
Although I avoided the sharp corner of the cabinet, the strong impact still hurt and made me dizzy, and I fell down the TV cabinet.
Murong Zhuan turned around after me, his brow twitching in anger, “Shen Shu, you don’t know how to lift yourself up!”
I held up my uninjured hand and pressed on the wound, too weak to open my eyes, but I managed to force a smile, “I could have been sensible, but you wouldn’t agree, you know …… The actual fact that you know that if Fu Shenyan died, I wouldn’t be able to live, you still wanted him dead. It’s ridiculous, Murong Zhuan, you’re really ridiculous!”
