Chapter 677: Blood Turned Cold

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This time, Xiang Wan was completely speechless.

He could guess everything right?

His insight into other’s thoughts was indeed superb.

She didn’t want to hide this so she nodded her head affirmatively. “So will you tell me why?”

Maybe her tone was too peaceful, for Ye Lun gave a smile and took several gasps before he continued. “… your dad… he was in… that coach… 19 years ago…”

Nineteen years ago?

That coach…

Xiang Wan felt her blood turned cold at that moment.

Ye Lun added, “He was… the bus driver…”

Xiang Wan’s spine had a chilly feeling as she stared at Ye Lun with disbelief. She couldn’t believe what he had told her. “How’s that possible?” She showed a disdainful smile. “I’ve asked my mom before and she said no… Ye Lun, just stop trying to confuse me…”

“Hurhurhur…” laughed Ye Lun. “Your mom… why would she… tell you… that your dad… committed adultery… and that… he even lost his life because of it…”

Xiang Wan’s expression became cold and was in thought.

All these years, Xiang Wan’s mom hardly mentioned her dad.

If Xiang Wan did not raise the topic, her mom would never talk about her dad.

And every time when she asked her, the answer she gave to Xiang Wan was never explicit enough.

When she was a child, her mom was always angry. Life was tough as she singlehandedly brought her up. She was so overwhelmed by the pressure of life that she couldn’t behave like a loving mother to Xiang Wan. Sometimes Xiang Wan would ask for her dad but her mom would fly into a rage and hurl verbal abuse hysterically… Therefore, from that time onwards, she was not very close to her mom. Xiang Wan had wanted to be close to her but she never dared to be too close and disallowed herself from making mistakes recklessly.

Hence, she would hardly bring up her dad.

When she got older, she didn’t ask for her dad anymore.

Nonetheless, at that time, she had thought that her mom was too distraught and upset because of her dad’s pa.s.sing.

After all, any ordinary widow wouldn’t like others to keep talking about her husband’s death.

When Xiang Wan got confirmation of her dad’s infidelity, it was because of her youngest uncle-in-law, Xing Yuanhang, who kept a mistress outside and her youngest aunt unknowingly revealed this fact…

Xiang Wan tried hard to recall those days when her dad was still alive but to no avail. “I remember that my mom told me that dad pa.s.sed away because of a car accident.” She shook her head.” She told me that the responsibility lies with the vehicle owner so we got a sum of compensation money. She took the money and bought a small house in Jin City. After that, in order to send me to university, she sold the house…

“My mom never mentioned that dad… had another woman outside. She never mentioned that he and Bai Muchuan’s mom had any relationship. If there really is something… why didn’t she tell me now that both Bai Muchuan and myself are in a relationship?”

She spoke very fast.

She even told Ye Lun what she shouldn’t have said.

Ye Lun could see that she was fl.u.s.tered.

It was a kind of confused emotion that came from deep within her.

Ye Lun looked on quietly. “…Cui Ming,” he continued, “the first one he killed… was your dad… he was the first target…”

Xiang Wan was confounded. She didn’t know if she should believe him.

If what Ye Lun said was the truth, that would mean that her dad and Bai Muchuan’s mom knew each other since 19 years ago. One was the bus driver and the other was the tour guide. They must’ve spent a lot of time together…

No!

Her dad had an affair.

His mom had a lover…

Xiang Wan suddenly recalled something and she felt frustrated.

She had thought of what Bai Lu had told her, as well as what Cheng Xin had told Xie Wanwan. The content of what they said was actually similar…

Xiang Wan’s face suddenly turned pale.

So all those ‘lies’ that she heard from them, were actually true after all?

Ye Lun was smiling, although his face was even paler than Xiang Wan.

He knew what Xiang Wan was thinking about and his expression seemed a little proud. “… You’re thinking about it… yes… you’re right… Bai Muchuan’s mom… and your dad…”

Xiang Wan raised her volume and stared at him coldly. “Ye Lun, I don’t believe you. Stop talking nonsense!”

Ye Lun’s eyes were almost closed. He was very weak. “… There’s more… cruel things…”

Xiang Wan didn’t want to hear anymore.

Not in the least bit.

But she was unable to stop Ye Lun from talking.

“Your dad… caused his mom’s death… your dad did that… the money that your mom used… to buy the house… was actually… the money he got… from his mom’s death…”

Xiang Wan was stumped by the news.

Her blood was cold and her heart felt chilly.

She took quite a while to recover from her chaotic feelings. When she saw Ye Lun’s face, she suddenly realized something.

There wasn’t much time left…

She still had things that she wanted to ask. She knew she had to ask about the case. The rest of the things could wait.

“Since my dad was in the flash flood and landslide 19 years ago. Why did you stop Cui Ming from trying to kill me?”Read more chapter on v ip novel. com

There were some sounds coming from his throat and he panted for a while. “I don’t… know… I don’t know… either…”

What was that?

Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows. She knew that he had difficulty talking. After a while when she didn’t hear any response, she continued to ask another question. “The first time we met was at the ‘Palace’ right?”

Ye Lun paused for a moment.

He tried to nod his head, blinking to express that she was right.

“Since we’re strangers,” said Xiang Wan, “why did you help me?”

“That time…” said Ye Lun with difficulty, “Cui Ming… didn’t want to kill you yet… He wanted to… make use of your book… to kill… I didn’t want… to help you… either… Consequently…”

“In the beginning, you didn’t want to help me,” reiterated Xiang Wan, “then why? What is it that made you change?”

Ye Lun: “… ID… that ID… you asked me… if those whose souls were tainted… deserved death, why am I… not the first one?”

Eh?

Hmm… this sounds familiar?

Xiang Wan had studied the mysterious ID before and knew each and every comment that he had left in her book reviews and comments page. There was once that ID made this comment: “Those whose souls have been tainted deserve death and no sympathy. Only by washing away these filth, the order in the society will become clean.”

That day, Xiang Wan was very angry.

That was the first time that she retorted a reader’s comment.

“If those whose souls are tainted deserve death, why aren’t you the first to die?”

She remembered that she had asked that back.

Unfortunately, he didn’t respond to her…

Xiang Wan had never thought that her remark would affect Ye Lun in any way.

“So, are you saying that you snapped out of those thoughts? But it’s impossible?”

“No… I want you… to be the last one to die… you need to see me achieve success… then you die… when you complete… your novel… you’ll die…”

Xiang Wan: “…”

She was now dumbstruck.

If he really let her survive just for the reasons that he stated, didn’t it feel like it was ridiculous?

“I guess I really need to thank this novel of mine…”

“Hurhur… hurhur…”

Ye Lun laughed.

But his laughter sounded jarring to the ear.

It felt like a joke, the same as the reasons he gave her.

Xiang Wan couldn’t laugh at all so she looked at him, slightly annoyed.

“You’re lying to me, right?”

Ye Lun had a puzzled expression on his face.

He didn’t say anything and there wasn’t any other expression on his face.

Xiang Wan voiced her doubts. “I don’t believe your reasons at all…”

How could anyone spare an author’s life just so the author could continue writing the novel because the story had not ended?

Well, even if Ye Lun’s reasons were valid, shouldn’t he be letting her write her novel instead of kidnapping her? That sure didn’t sound like he wanted to read her final chapter of the novel at all.

Xiang Wan refused to believe that.

Ye Lun’s hand quivered and he was so tired that he couldn’t open his eyes.

“… Yeah,” he sighed weakly. “There’s something else…”

Xiang Wan felt her chest tighten. “What is it?”

“I… Xiang Wan… do you still… remember why… you dropped out… from college?”

…
