Chapter 64 Red Rose, Red Blood (2/2)

”Yes.” Xiao Bing twitched the corner of his mouth quite a few times. ”He's... dead,” said Xiao Bing with difficulty.

All of the sudden, Yingzi's eyes turned ferocious. It was not like that she intended to kill someone, but rather extreme desperation which was deprived of the will to live. It scared Xiao Bing. He immediately said, ”I know he's your friend, he...”

”He's my boyfriend, my man...”

”What?”

”I said he's my man.” Yingzi asked, ”How did he die?”

Xiao Bing briefly told her what happened and sighed, ”In additional to the roses, he gave me this deposit book to give to you so you can live a normal life.”

Yingzi took over the deposit book and found a balance of 200,000.

200,000 was just enough to pay her debt, which meant that she could live a happy life like a normal person for the rest of her life.

Yingzi sobbed. ”All of this is nothing if I can't have you.”

Her sobbing made Xiao Bing feel slightly sad. Yingzi was right. She truly loved this man and Zhang Gui definitely loved her since she was the only one on Zhang Gui's mind while he was dying.

Xiao Bing didn't know how to comfort her. He thought that maybe a good cry would weaken the pain she was going through.

Eventually, Yingzi stopped crying and wiped the tears on her face. She looked at him with her peaceful eyes, which made Xiao Bing found scarier than when she stopped crying.

Xiao Bing sighed, ”Obviously this is for you. I don't know how you two got together or how strong your love was. The only thing I know is that his biggest wish when he died was to let you have a good life.”

”I know what you're about to say.” Yingzi pointed to a chair nearby and said, ”Thank you for telling me this. Are you interested in our story?”

Xiao Bing sat down on the chair and stared at her.

”I was sold by my father. He's a gambler. He sold me for 200,000 when he lost all of his money. I was only 18 then... I have seen all kinds of men here: fat men, bellicose men, white-collared men... No matter how they look, I can only think of one word when it comes to describing them: disgusting!”

”Until I met him...”

”One day I was walking on the street and met few rascals who all had bought me before. They wanted to take advantage of me on the street.”

”I know a whore is always dirty, but I'm a woman. There was only money between me and them. It's my job to sell my body, but I was not working then... so I resisted. And that's when he came into my life.”

”He was neither tall nor strong, but he protected me with his body. They beat him black and blue, but I remembered him telling me 'They are gone. You are safe now' with the same smile on his face.”

”I would never forget that day...” Her eyes were filled with love. When a woman's eyes turned like that after mentioning a man, it could only mean one thing: she had fallen in love with that man...

”We have been together since that day. He never despised me and I never despised him. We didn't care about how others looked at us. We were perfect in each other's eyes.

”He always wanted to save me. A few days ago, he told me with excitement that he was doing a big project and I would soon be freed...”

Yingzi's nose suddenly stung and so did Xiao Bing's.

”I'm sorry. I need to go to the bathroom.” Yingzi stood up and walked toward the bathroom like her mind was crushed. Soon Xiao Bing heard her crying after she locked the door.

Xiao Bing put his arm on the table and gently rubbed his eyebrows as they had begun to pain him.

The sound of flowing water continued, but her sobbing gradually stopped. Xiao Bing waited for quite a while and suddenly he smelt blood. He immediately stood up and dashed toward the bathroom. He kicked the door open, but soon stepped backwards and fell to the ground.

Yingzi was lying on the ground with a sharp blade in her hand. Her throat was cut open and blood was everywhere. The wide-open eyes on that pale face were deprived of all vitality, but there was a smile on her face.

”Why? Why?”

”Why did you make me see this?”

”How did I let this happen? Was there nothing I could do?”

”Why didn't I stop their deaths?”

Xiao Bing even shed tears. Zhang Gui was no longer that filthy, little man to him. He was noble, and Yingzi was even more so.

But a group of sturdy men broke in. The red-haired guy seemed to be the leader. He shouted to Xiao Bing: ”Did you say that you'll fucking burn this place to the ground?”

Xiao Bing's wide open eyes turned bloodshot because of his anger. He roared while rushing toward them. ”Go to hell!!!”
