Chapter 407 Impulse is the Devil
"Xiao Yifei!"
Zhou Meifeng hurriedly ran over, grabbed Xiao Yifei, and rescued Dage from his grasp, "Xiao Yifei, do you realize what you’re doing? You’re committing murder! Even I know that murder calls for retribution! How could you do such a foolish thing? Even though you’re trying to do it for me, you can’t be so impulsive!"
Zhou Meifeng looked at Xiao Yifei with a shrill voice, filled with worry, "What will we do if you really killed him!"
After being saved by Zhou Meifeng, Dage finally caught his breath. He collapsed onto the ground, taking deep breaths of the air that now seemed so precious to him, and his eyes, when looking at Xiao Yifei, were filled with lingering fear and dread.
Xiao Yifei cocked his head, looking at Zhou Meifeng with a light, clear gaze, and could see that Zhou Meifeng’s concern was genuine. She worried about the trouble he might get into if he killed Dage, not out of concern for Dage himself.
"Huff... huff..."
Zhou Meifeng was also breathing heavily, relieved that she had managed to persuade Xiao Yifei at the critical moment. Otherwise, the mistake made in a moment of impulsivity by Xiao Yifei would have burdened her with guilt for the rest of her life. Though Zhou Meifeng was not highly educated, she was innately kind-hearted. Not understanding Xiao Yifei’s true capabilities, she knew only the maxim that killing leads to retribution. Xiao Yifei was so good to her, she certainly didn’t want him to suffer any misfortune because of her.
Seeing Zhou Meifeng looking at him with such worry, Xiao Yifei gently smiled. He knew that if he tried to explain that he could have easily handled Dage, Zhou Meifeng would never believe him. Rather than trying to convince her, Xiao Yifei preferred to wait and see how Zhou Meifeng planned to resolve the situation.
Meanwhile, after hearing Zhou Meifeng speak, and Xiao Yifei had let go of his grip, Dage, who was deeply fearful of Xiao Yifei’s strength, thought bitterly, "Even at a time like this, you still act so innocent? It’s just farting around!"
At that moment, however, Dage knew that what he needed to do most was to save his own life. He had come to recognize Xiao Yifei’s truly ruthless nature—the indifferent attitude toward his life, as if he didn’t even regard him as human. So Dage knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to beg Zhou Meifeng for mercy.
