Chapter 1254 - Only Live For Herself In The Future (2/2)

“If that’s not the case, why did Young Master Qiao come here?”

“Before Young Master Li fell, what did he tell you and what did he give you? Cen Xi, Young Master Li is the young master of the organization. If we cannot apprehend him, he will cause a lot of danger to society. Who knows how many more people would die in his hands?! He knows the most advanced techniques to produce poison. So if he’s still alive…”

Cen Xi interrupted Qiao Yanze’s words, her eyes turning red. “If you want to apprehend him, do it yourself! Even if you continue to ask me a million times more, I’ll still say the same things. I don’t know anything! There’s no point in asking me!”

Inside, Cen Xi told herself to calm down. However, whenever she saw that he was only treating her as a tool he could use, it felt like she had an anger that was threatening to spray out without warning. Her body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath, looking down as she recollected her emotions.

“Young Master Qiao, from now on, I don’t want to be a part of how you want to apprehend Young Master Li, or know whether you can apprehend him anymore.” Cen Xi looked down, tears covering her eyes slightly. She bit down on her lip tightly, her voice choked. “I know very well that my older sister owes the Qiao family, that was why I did my best to repay some of her sins after I found out about it all. If you think that it’s still not enough, how about I give you my life? Is that enough?”

She looked up, smiling faintly at him. A faint blush appeared on her pale face, tears swelling in her bright black eyes as her expression was determined and ashen with sadness.

Looking at her, Qiao Yanze’s expression instantly darkened. “What are you doing?”

Cen Xi took out a sharp arrowhead from her prisoner’s uniform. She didn’t even think as she immediately stabbed it into her chest.

Qiao Yanze’s expression changed, his cigarette falling on the floor. Just as the arrowhead was about to touch her chest, he quickly grabbed it.

His palm was cut by the arrowhead and blood flowed out immediately. However, it seemed like he wasn’t able to feel pain, as he merely stared at the woman in front of him.

Her pale expression was determined.

With a pull, Qiao Yanze took the arrowhead out from her hand. Blood immediately flowed onto his wrist, drenching his white sleeve. He furrowed his eyebrows tightly, a part of his heart constricting before a fiery anger started to burn within him.

She actually dared to commit suicide in front of him to threaten him!

Qiao Yanze closed his eyes, standing up immediately as his expression was frighteningly cold. “Do you think your life is worth a lot? You don’t deserve for me to take your life!”

With a hand on his waist, that unknown fiery burning brightly in his heart. He stared at the arrowhead he had thrown in the rubbish bin, remembering that she had hidden it on her since last night. Was she waiting for him to visit her so she could die in front of him?

When she was dealing with Shen Hao and Chu Yu, he could tell that she had a very strong personality. She wouldn’t have any care left towards people who have hurt her before.

She was so young, but her temper was so strong! It was no wonder she was Xiao Ying’s younger sister. Xiao Ying was like that too at first, and it was that that made him see a different light to her.

Qiao Yanze panted twice before he nodded at Cen Xi. “Tell me, with your life, what do you want to exchange for?”

“I want it to end all of the unhappiness between us! I want it to change so that the next time we meet, we will only be strangers. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Qiao Yanze’s lips moved, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t laugh at the same time. Cen Xi stood up, staring at his bleeding hand before she turned around to leave.

Staring at her back, Qiao Yanze chased after her.

He pressed her against the wall, his handsome face leaning closer to her, his breath warm. “Cen Xi, you were the one who said you want to repay for your sister’s sins and now you’re saying you don’t want it anymore. Why are you so shameless?”

Cen Xi looked up into his eyes, their breaths intertwining with each other. “I’m the one who overlooked my ability. I hope Young Master Qiao wouldn’t be too petty to hold it against a young girl like me. If we’re talking about repaying sins, I already did my best to repay them, but like you said, who am I to deserve it? If Young Master Qiao doesn’t want my life, my life will be mine from now on. But if Young Master Qiao wants it again, it won’t be that easy anymore!”
