Qin Xue’s thoughts were in chaos, and after thinking of the face that harmed her mother, her mind was filled only with that hated face.
At this moment, in her world, the notion of her father no longer existed; before her eyes was entirely the face of a villain, entangling her with no other thoughts left.
Qin Xue clasped her father’s throat, driven by subconscious intent to kill, causing her father’s face to flush red instantly as suffocation gripped him, unable to speak.
Father Qin opened his eyes wide, looking at his daughter with nothing but love, yet filled with helplessness and sighs.
"Perhaps, dying might be a sort of release," Father Qin contemplated but thought that he couldn’t die at his daughter’s hands. Even if he had no regrets, as Ye Fan and Zhang Lu suggested, giving the daughter a heavy blow would be disastrous. She had suffered too much and could not bear the pain of patricide.
Father Qin thought this way, but what could he do?
His life and death were already in his daughter’s hands.
He had shared a brief moment of warmth with his daughter and felt content, but since the daughter had committed a crime, she was bound to be punished. At that time, he must help her rest in peace. He couldn’t let her be unearthed.
Father Qin still had his last wishes, hoping to handle his daughter’s aftermath, yet did not want to die .
Qin Xue gripped her father’s neck, her gaze full of hatred toward the enemy, filled with murderous intent. In her eyes, villainous faces floated indistinctly; even with little strength, it was immense harm to Father Qin.
"Villain, villain..." Qin Xue murmured, her intent to kill surging in all directions.
"Bang!" Ye Fan and Zhang Lu, noticing something was wrong, broke through the door.
Rescuing Father Qin from Qin Xue’s hand wasn’t possible at once from outside.
What they feared happened.
Qin Xue glared at them; at this moment, Ye Fan and Zhang Lu had villainous faces in her eyes as well.
"Villain, villain, you all are villains," Qin Xue shouted angrily.
"Do you still remember who you are?" Ye Fan spoke, his gaze sharp as a knife, his voice booming like thunder in Qin Xue’s heart.
At this moment, he focused all his attention on Qin Xue, with a powerful murderous intent aimed straight at her.
For an ordinary person, under Ye Fan’s gaze, the murderous intent alone would make someone lose their senses, trembling with fear.
Ye Fan’s intent was so strong, it directly drowned the murderous intent on Qin Xue.
Targeting only Qin Xue alone, Father Qin was unaware of the anomaly, but Zhang Lu keenly caught the drastic change in Ye Fan’s aura.
"It seems like he’s filled with energy," Zhang Lu watched Ye Fan in surprise and shock.
Qin Xue felt cold inside, her anger and intent to kill dissolved easily under Ye Fan’s aura. At this moment, an overwhelming emotion flowed through every cell of her body, seemingly replaced entirely by Ye Fan’s aura, shattering the villainous faces floating before her eyes into nothingness.
This was an invisible contest, and Ye Fan successfully defeated Qin Xue in terms of murderous intent and aura.
Qin Xue regained some sanity, her mind surrounded by two voices, a killer and a little girl, tormenting and tearing her apart.
"Dad!" At the same time, Qin Xue finally saw who she was about to strangle, and terrified, she quickly loosened her hands.
Father Qin coughed violently, hurriedly retreating to one side, looking at his daughter with worry and eyes full of tears.
"I recognize you two, I’ve fallen into your hands, especially you, you’re strong," Qin Xue said after releasing her father, turning into a killer as she looked at Ye Fan and Zhang Lu, focusing particularly on Ye Fan.
Just when Ye Fan and Zhang Lu were exchanging glances, ready to act.
Qin Xue’s voice changed, "Mom, mom save me."
Her memory shifted back to when she was taken by the villains.
"What should we do?" Zhang Lu frowned.
"Let’s watch and see," Ye Fan calmly observed Qin Xue’s reactions.
At this moment, Qin Xue alternated between being a killer and a little girl. The two couldn’t bear to attack her.
"Dad, what’s wrong with me? I’m scared, save me quickly, the villains are trying to take me away," Qin Xue said to her father pleadingly, now starting to speak incoherently.
"My poor daughter," Father Qin wept bitterly.
Qin Xue’s thoughts were chaotic and suddenly she said, "Mom, I want to find mom."
Then, she took off, fleeing.
As Ye Fan was about to act, Zhang Lu held him back, "The direction she’s looking at is where the overpass is. Maybe amidst her chaotic thoughts, there’s still an obsession. Let’s fulfill her small wish and see what she’ll do before making a move."
Looking ahead, within sight, Ye Fan could see the overpass which carried significant trauma for Qin Xue.
Qin Xue ran wildly, alternating between confusion and deadly focus, slowly approaching the overpass under this dual identity.
Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and Father Qin followed behind, Father Qin shedding tears all the way.
Under Zhang Lu’s instruction, the people hidden in the surroundings didn’t make any moves.
On the overpass, Qin Xue stood at the spot where her mom had fallen and was hit by a car, lost in thought for a long time.
Ye Fan and the other three watched from behind.
"Could she be trying to commit suicide?" Zhang Lu wondered.
"Perhaps, it’s possible. If she wakes up slightly, she might seek release through suicide. Her ability to come here shows a struggle between the little girl and the killer identities, with the child’s identity gaining temporary advantage. She knows what she’s done, and suicide seems like the only complete release," said Ye Fan.
"Are we just going to watch and do nothing?" Father Qin spoke numbly.
"Do you have any requests? Let us see if we can meet them," Zhang Lu asked.
"What requests?" Father Qin felt extremely bitter, as though he was being asked to decide how his daughter would die.
How could he endure watching his daughter die?
At this moment, Qin Xue looked at Father Qin, "Dad, don’t cry, I’m going to find mom. I can’t live, I want to die."
Below the bridge, a truck was approaching head-on.
Qin Xue jumped, her body plummeting down.
"Daughter!" Father Qin howled, filled with despair and sorrow.
