Lin Ruoxi stood at the same spot. Ever since Yang Cheng started killing people, she hadn't moved even half a step. At this moment, seeing the man whose hands were covered with blood and half of his body was dyed red, as if he had been soaked in blood, Lin Ruoxi finally subconsciously took half a step back.
Yang Cheng raised his lowered head and noticed the panic in Lin Ruoxi's eyes. The corner of his mouth curled up into a sad smile.
"Scared!" Yang Cheng asked in a low voice.
Lin Ruoxi's two white hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white. Her delicate body trembled slightly. After a long time, she shook her head, "It's … it's alright."
Yang Cheng laughed at himself, "You don't have to say that. Sooner or later, you'll see this scene, see me like this. In the past, I deliberately avoided it, but today, I think there's no need to hide anymore. As long as it's a normal woman, oh no, as long as it's a normal person, they wouldn't want to see me like this. "
Lin Ruoxi looked at Yang Cheng with tears in her eyes. Hearing Yang Cheng's words, she felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but there were too many questions, too many complicated thoughts. When the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say a word.
What kind of person was he in the past? Why did he kill people so cruelly? How many people did he kill in the past?
Was he a murderer? An international fugitive? A terrorist? Or … or something else …
Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt afraid. The man in front of her was obviously the same, but incomparably unfamiliar. Although he was smiling at her, the two of them seemed to be separated by an endless chasm.
This kind of feeling, other than heartache and fear, there was actually no trace of joy, even if she relied on his strength to survive.
Seeing that Lin Ruoxi had fallen into a silent state, Yang Cheng felt a kind of uncomfortable but relieved feeling spontaneously.
In the end, he still had to face all of this. It was a punishment, but also a kind of redemption.
After a moment of silence, Yang Cheng sorted out his thoughts and said sincerely, "Ruoxi, I know that you definitely wish for me to disappear from your sight right now. Tonight, you will probably have nightmares, right? I'm sorry, I also didn't want this to happen. But, the matter that happened to Jingjing today … Although it was Zeng Xinlin who instigated it, it is also my responsibility. I have indeed done a lot of things to let you down.
I am not a good husband. Even now, I can't do it for you. I can't give up the other women who love me with their lives. Some you know, some you don't, but to me, they are all the same. They are the third party, but they are also the people I like and care about. I admit that I am very greedy, I am very hateful, I do not want to lose you, but I do not want to lose any of them.
When I saw you running back to your room today, I also looked down on myself a little. Therefore, although I could have chosen not to attack those people just now, I still did it in front of you.
If I choose to continue staying here, then I should tell you the real me. What you see, my hands that are filled with dirty blood, are my real hands. In the past ten years of my life, I have already lost count of how many lives I have taken away. My methods, are even crueler than those just now … "
"Stop talking! I won't listen! "
Lin Ruoxi suddenly shouted twice, interrupting Yang Cheng's words. This woman who had always been calm and even a little mechanical suddenly shouted emotionally, causing Yang Cheng to be stunned on the spot.
"If I don't allow you to say it, you are not allowed to say it. Who wants to know what you were like in the past? You used to be a mutton skewer seller! Do you think I will believe your fabricated story!? I don't want to listen! "
Lin Ruoxi turned around and squatted down. It was unknown where she got the strength from, but she helped the fainted Mother Wang up, dragged her to the sofa, and then said to Yang Cheng, "What are you still doing? You are so dirty, why don't you go take a bath?"
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly, "Ruoxi, I have chosen to be honest, you don't need to help me escape. To be honest, I am very grateful that you did not run away because of me, I am sincere. "
Lin Ruoxi's body trembled slightly, turned her head, and said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about …"
"It doesn't matter if you understand or not. I've already let you see something that I hoped you would never see. I know you can't accept it, but who can? " Yang Cheng said softly, "I am very grateful that you have tried to accept me, but I think it is time for me to leave. At least, you will not be threatened like just now because of me …"
Hearing the word "leave", Lin Ruoxi's face showed some panic, but when she saw Yang Cheng's determined look, it was not nonsense.
"Don't be too arrogant, Yang Cheng." Lin Ruoxi suddenly turned around, and said coldly, "When did I say that I want to accept you? What does your affairs with other women have to do with me!? Do you think that I will really fall in love with you? Don't think that I like you just because I treat you a little better. Even if it is a cat or a dog, after staying in my house for a long time, my attitude will become better. Yang Cheng, let me tell you, you married me with a contract, before the contract! I will not allow you to leave! Do you hear me!? "
Looking at Lin Ruoxi who was crying so loudly that her eyes were red, Yang Cheng was stunned, and could not say a word.
"Isn't it just that I am good at killing people? Isn't it just that I am cruel!? Didn't you hear just now, since I took over Yu Lei International at the age of twenty, I have stepped on the corpses of other companies, made countless people lose their jobs, and broke countless families in an instant! Just like the last time I used you and Qianni, and used a conspiracy to get rid of Changlin Media and the Xu family. If we are talking about cruelty, how much better am I than you? Just like Xu Zhihong, there are many people in Zhonghai who want to hold a gun to my forehead and shoot a hole! But so what, this is how I grew up. If I didn't do this, there would be no Lin Ruoxi living in front of you now … You destroy people's lives, I destroy business opponents, and destroy the future of families. Do you think that you are so great in front of me!? "
"Ruoxi …" Yang Cheng was stunned, and called out slowly.
Lin Ruoxi closed her eyes, and let her tears stop. Because she was too emotional, she was panting. After a moment of silence, she continued with a somewhat reminiscing tone, "In the days before my grandmother passed away, she told me a story on her sickbed …
Once upon a time, there was a highly poisonous scorpion. He wanted to cross a fast-flowing river, but the scorpion could not swim, so he asked the frog to take him across the river.
The frog was unwilling, and thought that the scorpion would sting him. But the scorpion said, if I stung you, I would also drown in the river, so why should I sting you?
The frog thought that it was very reasonable, so he agreed.
However, when the frog carried the scorpion to the middle of the river, the river suddenly became rapid, and the scorpion was afraid. At the moment of fear, the scorpion stung the frog.
The frog was immediately poisoned, and wanted to sink into the water.
Confused, the frog asked the scorpion, "Why did you sting me? Wouldn't you die like this?"
At that time, the scorpion said, "I don't want to either, but this is how I live. I know that I won't have a good ending, but I still stung you like crazy. This is an instinct that I can't resist!"
Yang Cheng felt an electric current flashing through his brain, and his body trembled.
Lin Ruoxi bit her lips miserably, stared at Yang Cheng's face, and sneered, "Now, do you understand why I always keep people at arm's length? Do you understand why I'm always alone? Just like you think that you will kill me because of your instinct, I am also afraid that my instinct will kill others.
You and I are both poisonous scorpions, and we are both living monsters because of our instinct. In the eyes of others, we are crazy. We won't be able to stab anyone to death. Only we will get ourselves killed … "
