Chapter 945: Chapter 945: All of You Must Die
"Cry, cry, cry! Why are you still crying after drinking milk? You’re driving me crazy! Kill him!"
Shirley’s voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a chilling and oppressive tone.
It made people feel uneasy.
Liu He with sobs said, "No, I’ll calm the child down. He’ll fall asleep soon."
Xingxing’s young voice tried to comfort, "Auntie, after my little uncle finishes his milk and cries a bit, he gets tired and falls asleep quickly. Could you move the knife away? Grandma’s feet are tied, and we can’t run away even if we wanted to."
Lin Zhiyi, upon hearing this, immediately understood the situation inside.
Liu He seemed to have her legs tied, with two children beside her, unable to escape.
If they rushed in recklessly, Shirley’s knife might be even quicker.
Xia Wan’s breath quickened, finding it hard to believe her sister had become like this.
Just hearing Shirley’s voice, one could sense how cold her expression was now.
Gradually, the child’s cries stopped, and Lin Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the noises inside the room didn’t lessen.
It sounded like something was being moved.
Xingxing asked, "Auntie, what are you doing? Do you need my help?"
"No, you sit tight!" Shirley warned.
"Are these barrels filled with water?"
"Shut up!"
After Shirley spoke, suddenly, there was no noise in the room.
Lin Zhiyi’s heart tightened.
The next second, Shirley spoke, "You’ve been the quietest on the way here, why so many questions now?"
"I... haven’t."
Xingxing denied it, but there was a trace of fear in her voice.
"Haven’t? Ha ha, you’re the children of those people, rotten to the core! None of you are good!" Shirley spat venomously.
With a thud, something fell to the ground.
Liu He screamed, "Why are you pushing the child! Don’t touch her!"
"She must have something transmitting signals! I’ll strip her if I have to find it, don’t worry, I’m quite adept."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen stood up almost simultaneously, ready to rush out.
In their concern for the children, they accidentally knocked over the skeleton beside them.
With a clatter, one of the skeleton’s arms fell to the floor.
"Who’s there?"
Xia Wan quickly stepped in front of the two.
"Shirley, is that you? It’s your sister."
Xia Wan moved forward, simultaneously turning on the overhead light.
As Shirley reached the door, the sudden bright light blinded her, making it hard to see anything.
She raised her hand to block the light, squinting to make out who had come.
Before she could adjust to the light and see who was behind Xia Wan, she felt her sister grab her hand and pull her into the room.
"Sis, why are you here? Have they all acknowledged it?"
Xia Wan was about to explain but stopped when she saw the contents of the room, immediately nodding instead.
"Yes, don’t worry, they’ve all acknowledged it. We’ve succeeded."
She held Shirley’s hand, "Shirley, it’s all over. I’ve made some money too; we can start our own life now. Put down the knife and come with me."
Shirley hesitated, suddenly turning her head to look at Liu He and the children.
"Then let me deal with them, and then we can leave. Let the Gong Family regret it for the rest of their lives!"
"No!" Xia Wan opposed, "They have nothing to do with all this. If we kill them, the Gong Family might come after us. We’ve done enough."
"No way! Our family is destroyed, why should they reunite?"
Shirley tightened her grip on the knife, her eyes filled with hatred.
Xia Wan could only tighten her grip on Shirley’s hand, "Shirley, listen to me, let’s go."
As Shirley hesitated, her gaze suddenly turned fierce.
"No, if we succeeded, why didn’t I receive any message on my phone?"
"Sis, are you lying to me?"
Xia Wan hadn’t anticipated Shirley would suspect her; she immediately shook her head.
"No, Shirley, it’s over, it’s all over."
Shirley stared at Xia Wan, struggling, "Even you want to deceive me! Do you know the humiliation I’ve suffered over these years? It’s all because of them!"
"I know! I’ll be with you; we can’t make any more mistakes."
Xia Wan refused to let go, fearing Shirley might hurt someone by accident.
Shirley’s forehead veins stood out.
"They deserve to die, and you too. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be like this. I clearly could have a good life!"
"Ah!"
Amid the struggle, Xia Wan’s hand was cut by Shirley’s knife, instantly dripping with blood.
Xia Wan pressed her lips together and said, "You... you never really forgave me?"
Shirley laughed aloud.
"Forgive? No, I could never forgive you in this lifetime! You think you’re so noble? But have you ever thought about how I would survive alone in a foreign country?"
"That couple wasn’t human! I couldn’t fit in anywhere, was rejected outside, abused at home, life was hell."
Xia Wan choked, "Shirley I’m sorry, I just heard from the dean that the couple had a good background, couldn’t have children, so they adopted many kids. I didn’t know they were that kind of people."
"And now a simple ’I didn’t know’ can erase the harm I endured? I swore everyone who bullied me must die!" Shirley tightened her grip on the knife.
Seeing Shirley about to attack Liu He, Xia Wan quickly intervened.
"Shirley, this is wrong, everything is wrong."
"What do you mean?" Shirley paused.
"Back then it wasn’t the Gong Family who killed mom, it was... it was... dad."
"Ha ha, sis, are you joking with me? You mean to say... you’ve been bought by the Gong Family? Makes sense, you’re a renowned businesswoman now; of course, you’d compromise for profit."
Shirley waved the knife in her hand.
Xia Wan closed her eyes briefly and pulled out her phone. She hadn’t dared watch the entire video earlier, but she had recorded a part of it.
"It’s dad."
Shirley watched the phone, her eyes widening, seeming as if something inside her collapsed.
Her neck stiffened, a more hideous expression than Xia Wan had seen earlier.
"Impossible! Impossible! Then what was all my suffering for? What was the point of it all?"
"It’s all their fault!"
Shirley’s voice turned sharp, heading into collapse.
"Killing them would solve everything, it’ll mean success."
"No, Shirley." Xia Wan reached out to hold Shirley.
Shirley, as if not recognizing her, raised the knife towards her.
This time Shirley applied pressure, leaving a deep, long gash on Xia Wan’s shoulder.
Xia Wan was pushed aside by the pain.
Shirley then brandished the knife towards Liu He and the children.
Seeing this, Xingxing lunged forward, head-butting Shirley away.
"Mom! Dad!"
Shirley was knocked aside, just giving Gong Chen the opportunity.
Ambushed at the door, he strode in, twisting Shirley’s arm to disarm her.
The knife clattered to the floor, and Shirley winced in pain, her face turning pale.
Clutching her wound, Xia Wan pleaded, "Don’t hurt her, get the children out first."
Just then, dust kept falling from above.
Clearly, this place wouldn’t hold much longer.
Gong Chen picked up the knife to cut the ropes on Liu He’s feet.
Lin Zhiyi helped Liu He up, putting a safety helmet on her to turn the light on.
"Mom, take the kids and leave quickly."
Liu He knew she couldn’t help, holding her son in one arm and leading Xingxing with the other.
"You must leave too, she’s gone mad, she poured oil here."
