Chapter 47: Wu Yu 07 (2)
I had no time to think, and an impulse that felt like a cold flame overfilled my heart.
Zhu Fengxian must not know that there were people in the world willing to give anything to get their loved ones back yet could not. I would give anything to have them back. Even if they were ill or injured, I would bear the heaviest burdens just to have them beside me.
Lowering my face, I saw Tan Jiao’s calm eyes that looked sad as well.
The impulse in my heart abruptly subsided upon this sight. Perhaps I should stay away from her… so that I don’t lose her. But she’s trapped in this mystery as well… I should protect her.
While these thoughts flashed across my mind, Zhu Shuyun’s voice sounded again; “I have nothing… and I want nothing but to k-kill you all… All that a-abandoned me. That… lady b-boss of that store who promised m-mother to look after me, went to play cards… I’ve k-killed her and Xiaolong. Brother Xiaolong who was playing with me ran away when I got abducted… He’s dead as well. When I kill you lot… Zhu Shuyun will be free from hatred and become h-happy.”
He has already killed two people? I thought to myself after comprehending his stuttery speech.
Tan Jiao gently pulled on my shirt abruptly before muttering, “I’ve seen news articles about those two people.”
Raising my face, I saw that Zhu Shuyun had aimed the handgun at the Zhu family with a stern look on his face. I can’t watch on as he kills someone. I promised myself that I wouldn’t allow anyone to die in front of me.
I lowered my voice to carefully instruct Tan Jiao to not come out no matter what. However, as soon as I said that, she grabbed onto my shirt and shook her head as if her life depended on it. I let out a smile before comforting her. “Stay here, great author. I must stop him. I can’t allow the innocent to die in front of me. Let me go.”
