Chapter 52: Hong Xiaobei’s story (Part 4 *final*) (2/2)

“Seeing how you’re about to die, I’ll tell you the truth. I honestly really like Kevin. Considering how much I’ve helped you, please be kind and help me out for once. Silently depart to another world so that he can forget you.”

“You’re insane!” Hong Xiaobei managed to push Xu Weishan’s hand away from her direction. After all, Hong Xiaobei had been working all sorts of hard labour jobs her entire life. Naturally, she was physically much stronger than Xu Weishan.

Hong Xiaobei could vaguely see a sewer behind Xu Weishan. As long as she could shove Xu Weishan to that direction and throw the knife elsewhere, she’ll be ok.

Thinking of this, Hong Xiaobei began to implement her plan.

“You….” Hong Xiaobei’s strength surpassed her expectations. Xu Weishan was very anxious. If she didn’t succeed today, then she'll never have the opportunity again. And if Kevin found out about this, he'll definitely leave her.

Xu Weishan bitterly sighed on the inside, why has she allowed him to affect her so much?

During their struggles, Xu Weishan thought about making a final strike. She desperately used all her strength as she pushed and shoved. Suddenly, Xu Weishan appeared to have stepped on something and slipped forward. Her chest happened to land on the knife that Hong Xiaobei had successfully taken away a second ago.

At that moment, all was silent.

Xu Weishan’s body twitched as she stared at the knife that had entered her body. Then, she fell backwards. She didn’t even have time to say her last words. In ten seconds, there were no vital signs left.

Everything happened too quickly. Hong Xiaobei never shifted from her original spot.

“Sister….” Hong Xiaobei crouched down and lightly tapped Xu Weishan’s body. Her hands were covered in fresh blood. Hong Xiaobei almost lost consciousness as she collapsed onto the ground. “What am I going to do? What am I going to do?”

She frantically looked around her surroundings. There wasn’t even a ghost in sight. In this type of circumstances, how could she explain herself? Regardless of which way one would look at it, she was the killer.

Who would believe her that Xu Weishan had fell over and accidentally killed herself?

Hong Xiaobei took out her cell phone and hysterically tried to find someone to contact. The only person she could think of was Kevin.

“Save me...what..what am I going to now?”

The moment Kevin picked up the phone, he heard Hong Xiaobei sobbing. Initially, he was at home sulking. But now, he was extremely alert. “What happened? Stop crying. Tell me the story. Where are you now?”

By the time Kevin had arrived, Hong Xiaobei was sitting next to Xu Weishan’s body. Her eyes appeared empty as she stared fixedly at the ground.

Now that Kevin had arrived, Hong Xiaobei slowly opened her mouth. “I didn’t do it on purpose. Sister wanted to kill me. So….so I grabbed the knife. And for some reason, she fell over and crashed into me. And now...what am I going to do?”

It was as if she was narrating someone else’s story. Hong Xiaobei was calm by now.

“What happened to you?”

Hong Xiaobei shook her head as she intently gazed at Kevin and desperately tugged on his sleeve. “Is it because you don’t believe me? You think I killed her?”

Kevin tried to comfort Hong Xiaobei and lightly patted her head. “I trust you. So you must trust me too. I will help you solve this problem. Don’t be scared. Let me think about what to do…”

If they called the cops, no matter how he explained it, Hong Xiaobei was going to be imprisoned.

So in the end, in order to protect her, Kevin brought Xu Weishan’s body to the deserted countryside. Then, from his car, he took some gasoline and poured it over Xu Weishan’s corpse and lit it up. The fire will destroy all the secrets and turn them into ashes.

Kevin turned to Hong Xiaobei. “From today on, you are now Xu Weishan….”
