Chapter 1545: The culprit is actually you.
“I believe that you’ve gotten it all wrong. I wasn’t close to you back in middle school.”
Pei Ge looked coldly at the guy before her. Her beautiful face had disdain and mockery written all over it. “When I was in middle school, you were chasing after another girl. I couldn’t help but say that you’ve matured early. Now, it seems that you’re just a skirt-chaser.”
“You…”
Huang Zhian could not believe it. When he saw her walking in, he was very confident that she would rescue him, but why did the outcome turn out like this? Could it be that they had planned everything? n.o.body would save him and n.o.body would care about his fate. Did he return to those days when he was orphaned and n.o.body cared about him and he had no one to rely on?
No! He did not want it!
All of a sudden, he slammed the table aggressively. “Are you really not giving a d*mn about our years of friends.h.i.+p? Don’t you know that you and Ji Ziming can never be together. You can only be with me because only we’re the same kind—only we are able to live together forever!”
He bellowed in fury as he glared at the woman. If only his hands were not cuffed, he would pounce on her and grab her tightly, not letting the woman go regardless of who entered the room.
“If you told me this five years ago, I’d probably listen to you, save you, and leave with you, but right now, why do you think I’ll listen to your words aimed to destroy my relations.h.i.+p with Ji Ziming?”
“You’ll heed my words because he can’t give you what you want, but I can! I can give you anything you want!”
He appeared as if he had seen hope again—as though her question was meant for rescuing him.
“Oh? You can give me anything I want? Everything is possible?”
Pei Ge curled her lips and spoke with the frostiness of winter breeze.”You really think too highly of yourself.”
“Are you really so unfeeling? Why aren’t you saving me? Do you think I can’t give you what you want? You sl*t, you should’ve died in that accident!”
Huang Zhian glared at her with eyes full of deadly intent. He suddenly stood up, but because his legs were cuffed, he could not leave his seat. The only thing he could do was provoke her verbally. “Do you think you really escaped from death? Ptooey! You totally deserved it! I could knock down and kill a hundred sl*ts like you!”
“You’re the one who ran me down with a car?”
Pei Ge stood there in disbelief. It turned out that everything was done by this person who was smiling at her so gently back at the company and who also happened to be her former middle-school cla.s.smate. Before she met him today, she even ridiculously thought of saving him.
“That’s right! It’s me. You haven’t thought of that, have you?!”
Huang Zhian laughed conceitedly, looking like a demon from h.e.l.l. His murderous and ruthless glare filled the small room. Standing right next to the one-way mirror, Ji Ziming looked on with cold eyes; the disappointment in his woman’s eyes was evident.
“Sir, I didn’t expect this guy to be crazy, and you actually thought of saving him.”
He Xing felt indignant for the couple. Was Huang Zhian taking their goodwill for ill intent? Both were trying to rescue someone who wanted to kill them for money or status—they were truly dumb for doing so. Who would actually do such a thing in this world?
“Why?” asked Pei Ge coldly, her eyes on Huang Zhian was full of anger. “I’m asking you why you did it? There’s no ill will between us, so why did you do that to me? Didn’t your heart ache?”
“Ache?” The guy sat down, and his laughter sent s.h.i.+vers down people’s spines. “Back when you saw me, a foreign student, getting bullied by those gangsters, did your heart ache?”
“What gangsters? What bullying?”
She choked as she looked at the guy in front of her while feeling puzzled. What was he talking about, and why did she not understand?
“Don’t you have any idea what I’m talking about? Right! People like you who have parents to take care of won’t understand what I felt back then. At that time, after getting beaten up by those people, I still had to go to school the next day with my wounds. In the end, I had to face your ridicules, laughing at me for tripping when I was only walking. That’s right; I knocked you down for a 5-million-yuan car. I truly didn’t expect your life to be worth that much. I haven’t seen so much money in my life!”
Huang Zhian revealed the truth like an unrepentant child. He was presently deeply engrossed in that thrilling scene and his look of enjoyment made Pei Ge feeling repulsed.
“We haven’t seen each other for so many years. You’ve really secured yourself a prominent man in this capital. I truly didn’t expect such a chubby girl to grow up like this. When I saw you at Red Star, I almost didn’t recognize you. Only after I heard the female employees’ gossip did I learn that Ji Ziming is unwilling to marry the Qu family’s eldest daughter because of you.”
He c.o.c.ked his head to one side, and there was not a bit of humanity left in his eyes. Currently, he had the appearance of a criminal on a death row, awaiting his last salvation.
“I didn’t expect you to survive my attack. They spent so much money to make a broke chap admit my crime. You didn’t expect it either, did you? That broke chap is from the same village as I am! He only agreed to it because he badly needed money. What he didn’t know is that more than half of his money is still with me. Hmph!”
He leaned against the chair and looked at her with clouded eyes. “I really wanted you to die because, that way, I’d be able to get that five-million yuan. With five million yuan, I wouldn’t need to stay in that d*mn company and leak its trade secrets. Also, Red Star’s old chap wouldn’t have suffered a stroke because of being angered by me and would still be working in his office.”
Pei Ge stood on the same spot and listened to the words coming out of Huang Zhian’s mouth quietly.
“Who are they?”
He appeared not to have heard her question. His voice only became softer and softer until she could not hear it. In order to know who was behind all these, she could only walk to the other side of the table to hear his murmuring.
Standing on the other side of the one-way mirror, Ji Ziming anxiously called, “Pei Ge, don’t go there!”
As he spoke, he hurriedly opened the door and dashed to the interrogation room where his woman was. Alas, he arrived late. Huang Zhian showed a knife, which he had gotten from who knew where, and placed it right at Pei Ge’s neck. A thin, b.l.o.o.d.y line appeared on her neck thereafter.
