Chapter 490 - After They Died (1/2)
Gasp!
Xiong Wuyue choked.
With shocked eyes, she grabbed onto his hands, her face turning red then purple.
W-what??? Why???
She was shocked how the always gentle Linfeng, the refined and calm gentleman, suddenly turned into something alien to her.
He…he actually laid hands on her?!
Linfeng?!
Aggrieved, tears welled up in her eyes.
Linfeng's romantic peach blossom eyes, which she had always loved, were currently staring down at her murderously. The rim of his eyes were red and wet. There was a drop of blood on his lips, born from biting his lips too hard.
”Where...where is that bastard Guan Gao Huan?!! Where did you hide my Young Miss?!!!” He angrily roared with gritted teeth.
Linfeng was ready to kill.
Xiong Wuyue could see it in his eyes.
In that moment, Xiong Wuyue thought that she would be killed.
However, what she could not believe was that she was about to be killed by the man she loved so dearly.
She cried.
Why was he being so cruel to her?
She loved him so much!
Seeing that she could not speak, Linfeng loosened his hands a little to give her leeway to do so.
Xiong Wuyue coughed hard and gasped for air.
She kept crying.
”I-I don't know, I don't know.”
Linfeng erupted and waved his hands on the dinner table. He smashed the delicate plates which Xiong Wuyue had handpicked for the date. The food she had cooked for their dinner was flung away and smashed into a mess on the ground.
Xiong Wuyue was frozen with fear.
The image in front of her was eerily familiar.
She thought she saw herself in one of her outbursts.
But he was Linfeng, the always gentlemanly Linfeng…
She then realized that she seemed to not really know him at all.
Linfeng was raging mad and seemed to be intent on destroying everything around him. That was when she finally noticed what seemed to be a photo that was being held tightly in one of Linfeng's fists.
It was crumpled to the point that Xiong Wuyue could not see what was in the image. It took a while for the furious man to calm down.
Xiong Wuyue saw the tears in his red-rimmed eyes finally fall. However, his eyes were devoid of any emotion, except for cold hatred.
Why…? Why was he crying?
All throughout the time she was with Linfeng, Xiong Wuyue knew somewhat that Linfeng was not really honest with her. It was a woman's instinct. However, her pride and selfish heart threw all her doubts away, and just wanted to believe the lie she had conjured in her own.
Xiong Wuyue hugged herself amidst the things around her that had scratched her. She hesitated whether to comfort the irate man, but her fear of his sudden outburst scared her.
She was afraid to get near Linfeng at the moment.
After a while, Linfeng wiped his tears expressionlessly.
He directed a gloomy glare at the woman who was curled up in the corner.
”Because of you...” he whispered.
He went closer to her as if he finally decided to kill her.
”Because of your greed…”
That was when a group of highly skilled forces entered the room and attacked Linfeng.
They also had guns.
”No!”
Xiong Wuyue's thoughts froze.
She stood up to stop her father's men from shooting.
Linfeng immediately threw up the table, took out a gun fluidly, and shot back at them.
More men in black outfits came running. Linfeng seemed to have no choice but to escape. Before leaving, he threw her a cold look, as if saying that he would definitely kill her next time.
That day was the last day that Xiong Wuyue had seen Linfeng eye to eye.
Because the next time that she saw him, it was two years later, and he was lying down on that woman's lap in the middle of the blood-soaked road.
****
The police and the special investigations team had put yellow tapes around the crime scene, preventing people from coming closer.
Many dead bodies were scattered around.
Xiong Wuyue had ran immediately to the crime scene the moment she heard the news from her father.
