Chapter 981 Xu Youning, What’s Wrong with You? (1)
The sharp pain worsened. Xu Youning gritted her teeth against the pain but failed to bear up and had to clutch at a tree beside the road.
Worse yet, a wave of dizziness. .h.i.t her at the same time.
Xu Youning really felt that she was the unluckiest person in the world.
She gripped her head with one hand in an attempt to dispel the excruciating pain from her brain. But it didn’t work at all.
Yang Shanshan looked at Xu Youning for a long time and finally confirmed that she was really not feeling well.
Yang Shanshan wasn’t interested in why Xu Youning felt unwell and whether she needed help or not.
At that moment, Yang Shanshan only knew one thing—Mu Sijue was still hung up on Xu Youning, the undercover agent who had once been pregnant with Mu Sijue’s child.
However, for all these years since she met Mu Sijue, Yang Shanshan had never gotten a second look from him. How could Xu Youning, who targeted Mu Sijue with bad intentions at another person’s command, win Mu Sijue’s love and carry his child?
Xu Youning must have used some shady tactics to seduce Mu Sijue into sleeping with her!
As long as Xu Youning was alive, Mu Sijue would never forget her, nor would he pay any attention to other women.
Only when Xu Youning was dead could Mu Sijue move on.
“He wouldn’t miss a corpse, would he?”
What reason did she have to kill Xu Youning?
Well, Xu Youning betrayed Mu Sijue and he should have killed her! It was something of a blessing that she was able to live until now!
Yang Shanshan pressed the scabbard. The military knife emerged, its blade reflecting a dazzling light in the bright sun, which shone in Xu Youning’s eyes.
Xu Youning was naturally alert to dangerous things or people. Stunned for a second, she raised her head and saw Yang Shanshan’s dark face.
Looking carefully, she read the strong killing intent in Yang Shanshan’s eyes.
“Yang Shanshan wants to take this opportunity to kill me?”
Xu Youning couldn’t help sneering in her heart—Yang Shanshan didn’t know that she was the person who was in danger now.
Even if Kang Ruicheng had no intention to hurt Yang Shanshan, once he found out Yang Shanshan’s objective, Kang Ruicheng would definitely not let her off.
Yang Shanshan flicked her hand and pointed the gleaming knife at Xu Youning.
She tried her best to control herself but her hand trembled a little.
Yang Shanshan had grown up in a very special environment. She was used to blood and weapons, but due to her father’s protection, she had never seen any gory scenes.
Since she was a little child, her father had always told her this, “Shanshan, eliminate everyone and everything that is a threat to you. Your interests and safety are the most important in any case. No matter what happens, dad will always protect you.”
“Xu Youning was supposed to die. It was not a big deal to kill Xu Youning, right?”
Yang Shanshan tried to convince herself, yet she hesitated at the same time.
She knew how to kill someone, but she was afraid when she had to carry it out.
Xu Youning’s mouth curved into a faint sneer and she snorted with disdain.
Yang Shanshan was suddenly irritated. She waved the knife in her hand, asking, “What are you smiling about?”
Xu Youning didn’t speak but gave Yang Shanshan a mocking look.
Xu Youning was amused. “Had Yang Shanshan never watched TV shows? Didn’t she know people who hesitated before killing someone would usually fail?”
Although Xu Youning was weak, she maintained her arrogance and looked at Yang Shanshan coldly, saying, “If you really dare to kill me, do it quickly. Otherwise, you’re done for.”
She was not afraid at all. She knew Yang Shanshan had no experience. She was confident that she could deal with Yang Shanshan.
Moreover, Yang Shanshan might not even dare to hurt her.
Yang Shanshan held the knife tightly. She looked around and found the street was empty in the early morning. All the people who came with Xu Youning had entered the bar.
As long as she stabbed Xu Youning with her knife, she could completely get rid of Mu Sijue’s obsession with Xu Youning and create a chance for herself and Mu Sijue.
However, Xu Youning was not afraid at all and even despised her!
In a rage, Yang Shanshan wielded her military knife, approached Xu Youning and said “Don’t think that I won’t kill you.”
“If you really dare, you’d better do it now,” Xu Youning sneered disdainfully, “otherwise, you are doomed.”
A vicious look suddenly appeared on Yang Shanshan’s face. She shouted, “Xu Youning, you forced me. Don’t blame me!”
She clenched the knife and rushed straight at Xu Youning.
Once Xu Youning called for help, Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi would dart out instantly and Yang Shanshan would not have a chance to get close to her.
But if so, Yang Shanshan would be caught by Kang Ruicheng and Mu Sijue would be suppressed because of this, which was not what Xu Youning wanted to see.
Xu Youning tried to stay clear-headed and reached out to grab Yang Shanshan’s hand. She twisted it, and with a little more force, Yang Shanshan’s knife fell and dropped onto the ground of the garden nearby.
She loosened her grip on Yang Shanshan’s hand and warned her, “Did you see the person who came with me? He is Mu Sijue’s biggest enemy and he kidnapped Aunt Zhou a few days ago. Yang Shanshan, if you don’t leave now, you will be the next to be captured.”
Xu Youning felt more and more uncomfortable. In the end, her face turned completely pale.
Looking at the weak Xu Youning, Yang Shanshan felt no fear. She snorted and said, “Xu Youning, stop scaring me! You want to frighten me away so that you can find someone to save you, don’t you? You know what, I must kill you today! Anyway, even if I don’t do it, Brother Sijue will!”
Xu Youning was stunned and suddenly became absent-minded.
“Mu Sijue would kill her—did Mu Sijue tell Yang Shanshan this?”
“Mu Sijue does not want to see me alive?”
Noticing that Xu Youning was distracted, Yang Shanshan realized this was a good chance. She pulled out the knife from the soil and plunged it toward Xu Youning again.
Though she was not stabbed yet, Xu Youning felt as bad as if she had been really hurt by Yang Shanshan.
The headache was about to tear her apart and her vision was getting blurred.
But this time, Yang Shanshan came at her at full force and Xu Youning felt she could not withstand her attack.
Yang Shanshan was completely overwhelmed by anger and hatred. She smiled grimly as she visualized the blood spurting from Xu Youning after being stabbed by the knife.
Xu Youning kept retreating and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.
She had tried to dissuade Yang Shanshan from doing this. But as Yang Shanshan insisted on killing her, she had no choice but to put Yang Shanshan’s safety aside for now.
If Kang Ruicheng used Yang Shanshan as a bargaining chip to threaten Mu Sijue, she would solve the problem for Mu Sijue by killing Yang Shanshan.
Yang Shanshan also realized that either Xu Youning or she would die today.
She dashed toward Xu Youning with a sinister smile on her face. “Xu Youning, say goodbye to this world! Sijue will forget you forever!” she screamed.
Though Xu Youning couldn’t see clearly, she could sense the danger approaching her. She stepped back but could not escape the coming knife.
Right at this moment, there came a squeal of brakes and the car door was wrenched open at the same time. Then Mu Sijue got out of the car.
The tip of Yang Shanshan’s knife was less than five centimeters away from Xu Youning.
Mu Sijue pulled out an anesthetic gun from his waist at lightning speed. With a shot, a needle was embedded into Yang Shanshan’s hand that had the knife. The drug worked instantly, numbing her hand and she could not hold on to the knife anymore.
At the same time, Xu Youning took a step back and brushed against the blade.
The pain and discomfort gradually faded away. Xu Youning’s headache and vision finally cleared and she saw distinctly that the person was Mu Sijue.
“But Mu Sijue wanted to kill her, didn’t he? Then why did he stop Yang Shanshan?”
However, if it weren’t for Mu Sijue, Yang Shanshan would have stabbed her belly with the knife. If that had happened, not only would her child not survive, but she would have been in great danger.
Such a fear made Xu Youning sober up.
She was glad that Mu Sijue appeared just in time.
Mu Sijue’s face was as dark as the cloudy sky. He threw the gun back to his subordinate and walked toward Yang Shanshan and Xu Youning in a towering rage.
Yang Shanshan’s hand was still numb. When she saw Mu Sijue’s expression, she felt the tingle spreading from her hand to her heart.
She said in a weak and aggrieved voice, “Brother Sijue, I…”
She wanted to explain to Mu Sijue that she tried to kill Xu Youning for his sake.
Xu Youning had a great impact on Mu Sijue. Keeping her alive was not a good decision for him.
Yang Shanshan didn’t expect that Mu Sijue’s target was Xu Youning instead of her.
Mu Sijue walked over and grabbed Xu Youning’s shoulder, almost lifting her off the ground.
He pressed Xu Youning against the tree and looked at her angrily, shouting, “Xu Youning, do you have juvenile dementia?”
“What’s juvenile dementia?”
After a long while, Xu Youning finally realized that Mu Sijue was scolding her. She wanted to retort, but Mu Sijue grabbed her hand and asked angrily, “Did you break your hand or are you disabled? If someone points a weapon at you, do you just stand there and take the hit?”
Xu Youning was really confused this time—Mu Sijue was so angry because she was almost hurt by Yang Shanshan?
“Did Mu Sijue still care about her?”
Seeing Xu Youning’s blank look, Mu Sijue wanted to wring her neck. He pushed her away and said, “Xu Youning, you hopeless idiot!”
Xu Youning also got angry. She looked at Mu Sijue disdainfully and asked, “Are you done?”
“Wow, you can talk?” Mu Sijue sneered, “I thought you only knew how to stand there and wait to be killed!”
Xu Youning almost exploded.
Mu Sijue was the one who just stood there and waited for the knife. Not only in this life but also in his next life! d.a.m.n it!
Seeing Xu Youning keeping quiet, Mu Sijue was furious. When he was about to scream abuse at her, he suddenly noticed that Xu Youning’s forehead was beaded with sweat.
“Why was Xu Youning sweating so much on such a cold day?”
Moreover, her face was as pale as a ghost’s.
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and found that something was wrong…
