The unbearable pain spread from his severed arm to his whole body.
Yao Dazhuang wept and finally understood what Bao Gucheng meant by "I have limited patience."
Not talking? Then take off an arm.
Still not talking? Fine. Keep going...
He blurted out, "I’ll confess, I’ll confess it all! It was for Xi Ruzhu. I acted preemptively to keep her status as the young lady in the Xi family!"
Chen Long, who was in charge of recording, was beyond shocked.
So young and already causing near tragedies over such malice, almost leading to four deaths in two cars.
Truly... eating too much of the nation’s grain!
Bao Gucheng’s gaze was cold and silent for a moment.
He removed the foot pressing on Yao Dazhuang’s head.
Yao Dazhuang secretly rejoiced. Although he betrayed Xi Ruzhu, at least he had preserved his own life for the days to come.
Once he’s out and safe, he’ll settle scores with these demons, hmph!
suddenly, a fierce pain came again from his other arm: "Ow ow ow... you, you broke my arm again without keeping your word!"
Bao Gucheng kicked away the severed arm, his face icy: "I never agreed to any conditions with you, so I owe you no obligation to keep my word."
Cold sweat started to trickle down Yao Dazhuang’s back.
This terrifying man hadn’t actually promised him anything.
He only said, "I have limited patience!"
"What else do you want to know? I’ll tell, I’ll say it all! Sir, sir, I beg you to spare my life..." Yao Dazhuang, lacking both arms, rolled on the ground pleading, having lost all his former bravado from bullying female classmates in the Zao Lin.
Now he seemed even less than a pathetic worm.
Bao Gucheng turned a deaf ear, calmly wiping the blood off his fingers.
After coldly instructing Chen Long, he stepped out of the dungeon.
He’d never killed a woman, but if this woman truly intended to kill Xi Zuzi, he wouldn’t mind breaking that rule.
Xi Zuzi returned to the Xi house by midnight.
The Xi family was asleep, and not a light was on throughout the building.
Naturally, the main door was also locked.
Just as Xi Zuzi was about to step over the wall...
The main door suddenly opened from inside—Wang Laowu, excitedly clutching a small flashlight: "Miss, it’s great that you’re finally back, my waiting wasn’t in vain..."
Xi Zuzi looked at the weak yet warm beam of the flashlight and smiled slightly: "Xiao Wu, you child, you’re very filial."
The fifty-year-old Wang Laowu: "..."
Thankfully, he was already used to the young lady’s peculiar ways!
While illuminating the path with his flashlight, he chatted to please Xi Zuzi, "Miss, studying must be tiring, right? Tonight’s stars are really beautiful, quite a few shooting stars have appeared. Look, there goes another one..."
Xi Zuzi looked up for a moment, then spoke maturely: "Hmm. Another person has died."
Though accustomed to the young lady’s peculiar ways, sometimes he was still caught off guard and startled!
Early the next morning.
When Xi Rubao came downstairs for breakfast, she was so shocked she almost fell off the stairs: "Ahhhhh! You, you, you!"
Following her, Xi Ruzhu’s heart also skipped a beat, she bit her lip: "Zu, Zuzi? You’re back?"
How could the fool confined in the teaching room appear at the breakfast table?
Clearly, Dad said last night he wouldn’t intervene, intended to teach the fool a lesson!
Unlike the two sisters, Xi Zuzi lazily leaned back in the chair, like a fairy lying on a peach branch: "What, you hoped I’d never come back?"
Xi Ruzhu’s expression was awkward: "Of-of course not."
Always calm and composed, she found it difficult to remain calm, even stuttering in her words.
On the other hand, after her shock faded, Xi Rubao rushed over, examining Xi Zuzi closely from head to toe, then breathed a sigh of relief: "You’ve come back safely! If you died outside, it would deliberately weigh on my conscience. Lucky you still have some sense!"
Xi Zuzi glanced at her with a half-smile: "Today, if the Four-School Joint Exam results come out, don’t jump off the building again."
