Chapter 186 - Meeting with Chu Tiankuo Again (2/2)

Ye Yifan caught sight of Song Sisi, who had lost her mind, hiding in the corner. An idea came to him and he questioned him. “Why would you kill Fang Yan?”

Hearing Ye Yifan’s words, Tang Xia asked, “You killed Fang Yan?”

Even if Tang Xia used all her intelligence, she could not believe that it was Chu Tiankuo who had killed Fang Yan.

Chu Tiankuo tittered, looking indifferent to this, and asked, “So what? You feel miserable over him just because Fang Yan is your boyfriend in this place?”

Tang Xia shook her head with determination. “I won’t fall in love with a man in order to conquer in a task, much less that Fang Yan is a scumbag.”

She was kind-hearted, but that did not mean that she was naive. She did not belong to this world. She would go back where had she lived once she accomplished the task. Falling in love with someone in this place would lead her to a dead end. But now, there seemed to be an exception.

Tang Xia glanced at Chu Tiankuo with hesitation.

But Chu Tiankuo did not see this. He kept thinking, “Won’t she fall in love with a man in order to conquer her task? What about me?”

Chu Tiankuo’s simple question made Tang Xia abandon the plan to ask him if he had killed Fang Yan. But unlike Tang Xia, Ye Yifan kept holding tightly onto the clues.

Ye Yifan questioned him again. “Chu Tiankuo, why did you kill Fang Yan? Fang Yan was innocent.”

Chu Tiankuo replied indifferently, “Innocent? Fang Yan was innocent? He killed Zhang Yaoyao. A life for a life, isn’t it?”

Tang Xia shivered for no reason. Why did she feel that his argument sounded so similar to that of extremists and lunatics?

Ye Yifan said coldly, “A life for a life. That’s right, but that’s what the police do. It’s none of your business.”

Chu Tiankuo said contemptuously, “People in your broadcast room never care about the people’s lives in the worlds that you travel to, do they? Why have you become so righteous today?”

Ye Yifan felt awful in his heart when hearing these words, but he did not know how to rebut. He couldn’t help thinking, “Are people in their broadcast room really so ruthless? No! They are just reasonable!”

Chu Tiankuo glanced at Ye Yifan again, and then said to Tang Xia, “Is this your boyfriend?”

Was this the man living in the same world as Tang Xia? Was he the man who was able to live with Tang Xia? But he did not think him reliable at all. He would not allow Tang Xia to be with such a man even if he failed to get her.

There was no change in his look and tone as he said this, thus, Tang Xia couldn’t guess what he meant.

Tang Xia cast her eyes at Ye Yifan and then said, “No.”

He was not, was he? It was merely an unrequited love between her and Ye Yifan. Maybe it was not even an unrequited love at all, but just adoration.

Ye Yifan said nothing after hearing Tang Xia’s answer since she was telling truth.

Who would rebut the truth?

But seeing Tang Xia’s look, Chu Tiankuo felt sick. Even if this man was not her boyfriend, Tang Xia had to have special feelings for him, otherwise why would there have been sorrow in her eyes when she said “no”?

Tang Xia seemed to have realized something all of a sudden and asked hurriedly, “Chu Tiankuo, why did you disappear suddenly from my last live show?”

Tang Xia should not have mentioned this because Chu Tiankuo’s eyes seemed to have been lit with fire once he heard this. He went mad instantly and pushed Tang Xia against the wall, saying irritably, “Don’t you know?”

“Last live show! Last live show! How dare Tang Xia mention to me the last live show!”

Pushed against the wall by Chu Tiankuo, Tang Xia felt it hard to breathe, but she still asked, “What do I know?”

She did not know anything about Chu Tiankuo’s sudden disappearance, did she?

Chu Tiankuo was pushing Tang Xia with more and more strength, which made her feel suffocated. Was she dying? Would she fail to finish her task? Would Chu Tiankuo really kill her?

Until this point, Tang Xia still did not believe that Chu Tiankuo, the man who had helped her out three times, would really kill her.

There was still hope in Tang Xia’s eyes.

There appeared compassion in Chu Tiankuo’s eyes as he saw Tang Xia being pushed like this. He was struggling in his mind—One voice suggested that should he kill her since she would not really die, while the other asked him not to kill her or her task would fail.

On seeing this, Ye Yifan became flurried in his heart. He removed Chu Tiankuo’s hands from Tang Xia and said in anger, “Just come at me if you want. Only a coward dares to bully a mere woman.”

Chu Tiankuo cruelly knocked down Ye Yifan and responded coldly, “Of course.”
