“Will you let me go and let me find my family as long as 1 do as you say?” Shen Xian’s expression darkened, and her eyes were no longer as bright as usual.
Zheng Xin did not seem to expect Shen Xian to really compromise. She widened her eyes in surprise and chuckled. “Yes, as long as you kneel down and apologize to me and promise not to tell anyone about seeing me here today, I can let you go.”
Shen Xian lowered her head, as if she was seriously considering what she had said.
The silence did not last long between the two of them. Shen Xian sighed in resignation, and her eyes gradually became firm. “Alright, 1’11 apologize to you.”
A flash of ecstasy appeared in Zheng Xin’s eyes. Right on the heels of that, she saw Shen Xian moving her legs with difficulty. She hunched her body with a chair on her back, and her legs were bent and trembling.
“Kneel!” That person urged her impatiently. Her patience was completely exhausted. She wished she could rush up and press Shen Xian’s head to make the proud woman kneel in front of her.
Shen Xian silently shed a tear. Her lips pursed into a straight line as she closed her eyes in humiliation. Her knees suddenly sank.
Seeing that her dream was about to come true, that person focused all her attention on Shen Xian and did not notice that a ghost-like person had already stood behind her.
The silver dagger could still glow coldly in the dark night. A cold voice sounded behind her ear. “Don’t move.”
When Shen Xian heard this familiar voice, her bent knees suddenly paused. In the next second, a pair of strong arms lifted her up and made her sit back down steadily.
“Mom!” Seeing that the attacker had been subdued by Shi Man, Su Tang ran over anxiously to untie her.
Shen Xian looked at Yi Zheng and Su Tang standing beside her in shock, then at Shi Man, who was holding a dagger and had a cold expression on her face. She suddenly felt a lump in her throat. “That’s great. You’re fine.”
Su Tang hugged Shen Xian with tears of joy, and her tears wet her shoulder.
Shen Xian suddenly thought of something and suddenly looked toward her attacker. Her expression was dark as she said, “Zheng Xin, don’t you know how wrong you are?”
With a knife to her neck, Zheng Xin finally knew what fear was. However, she had come this time to take revenge with the mentality of risking everything. She would not show fear just because of this threat.
She curled her lips into a cold smile indifferently. “Wrong? You’re clearly the ones in the wrong! How dare a group of ants shout in front of me!”
The blade in front of her neck suddenly stuck in her flesh. Zheng Xin gasped in pain, but the provocation in her eyes did not decrease at all. “Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you have a knife. If you have the guts, kill me! Let me see if you really dare to kill someone!”
Shi Man stood with her back facing the moonlight, half of her face hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see her emotions. She narrowed her eyes and gave Su Tang a look.
Su Tang immediately understood and gently helped Shen Xian stand up. “Mom, 1’11 bring you to see Brothers and Father first.”
“How are they?” Shen Xian held her hand tightly and asked.
Su Tang shook her head gently. “They’re fine. Brother Tang came in time. I’ll bring you to see them first. Leave this to Brother Yi Zheng and Manman.”
“But…” Shen Xian was still a little worried. She turned around and saw the dagger. Her eyelids twitched unnaturally.” Manman, you can’t do anything stupid! Put away the knife later, okay?”
“Don’t worry, I won’t take her life,” Shi Man replied in a gentle voice.
Shen Xian looked at Yi Zheng hopefully and asked him to protect Shi Man no matter what. Only then did she walk down the rooftop with Su Tang’s support.
The rooftop instantly became empty. Shi Man waited for Shen Xian to leave before putting away the dagger. She pushed her aside in disgust, picked up the bag in her hand, and smiled coldly. “Tell me, who asked you to come? Who gave you this?”
“I got it myself!” Zheng Xin stood up in a sorry state and reached out to wipe the blood flowing down her neck. She sneered and said, “I thought you had some ability. Are you letting go of the knife so quickly?”
Shi Man glanced at her and said in an unfriendly tone, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone so eager to die.”
Zheng Xin raised her head proudly and said, “I’ve already said that 1 won’t die at all. 1 have the halo of a protagonist. You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Shi Man sneered and walked up to her step by step with the dagger. The sharp tip of the knife slid mercilessly past her skin and pierced into the wall behind her. “I’ll ask you one last time. Who asked you to come here?”
Zheng Xin was so frightened that she couldn’t speak. Her face was pale, but she insisted, “No one! You don’t dare to really kill anyone. Don’t swing a knife at me.”
“Who said 1 don’t dare to kill?” Shi Man’s cold gaze slowly moved from her face to her neck. The dagger was gently pulled out of the wall and suddenly placed in front of her..
