87: Xiaoxi, why are you here? Go away!
“If it weren’t for you incompetent police, would he, a rich second-generation, be able to go around deceiving people? How many girls has he bullied? Do you even care?”
“Ah!”
As soon as Lu Shaohui was mentioned, the waiter became extremely agitated, and the knife in his hand grazed Young Master Long’s neck, immediately leaving a bloody mark.
“Brother, brother, calm down. He deserves to die, to die ten thousand times over,” Young Master Long cried, agreeing with him, while desperately trying to look down to see where the knife was, praying it wouldn't move again.
“You calm down, we won’t hurt you, rest assured, rest assured,” Team Leader Guan assured him vigorously, pressing his hands back. The armed officers collectively retreated a few steps, not daring to provoke the killer’s emotions.
Ye Lin wasn't entirely clear about the killer's motive, but hearing this, he roughly understood. It seemed to be a revenge killing; Lu Shaohui must have done something that led to this retaliation.
He glanced at the two young masters standing beside him. Young Master Fang immediately sensed it and said proudly:
“Officer Ye, don’t worry, I wouldn’t do such a thing. If I see something I don’t like, at most I’d just beat them up. If it were a truly deadly feud, then he wouldn’t be standing here anymore.”
Ye Lin’s heart tightened. This Young Master Fang truly gave him an indescribable feeling. His actions were eccentric, yet he had his own limits. He was truly a second-generation who was both good and evil.
In contrast, Young Master Kang, likely managed more by Secretary Kang, was a traditional second-generation young master. He lacked a bit in the courage of his actions, but at least he walked the righteous path.
Just as the waiter and Team Leader Guan were at a stalemate, a girl suddenly rushed in from the periphery, crying out, “A Feng, why are you so foolish?”
“Xiao Xi!”
“Xiao Xi?”
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
One was the waiter holding Young Master Long hostage, and the other was Lili, who had been drinking with the deceased, Lu Shaohui, that night.
Ye Lin turned to look outside. The girl named Xiao Xi was a young woman in her early twenties, not tall, with a petite figure that made one instantly want to protect her.
Dressed in a long white dress, with a head of raven-black hair, she had a 'first love' face. Although not stunningly beautiful, she was definitely a beauty. In later generations' terms, she was a classic 'white moonlight'.
Her pair of watery, large eyes seemed to speak, looking at the killer with a sorrowful expression.
And the appearance of this girl made the previously fearless killer's hands tremble with agitation.
“Xiao Xi, what are you doing here? Hurry and leave!” the killer cried out anxiously.
“Feng, boo hoo hoo hoo,” the girl named Xiao Xi just softly called out his name before bursting into tears.
As if suffering immense grievance, Xiao Xi’s tears evoked a feeling of heartache in everyone.
That soft call, that simple word “Feng,” was spoken with such heartbreak.
Even the surrounding police officers seemed a little moved.
A Feng, surrounded by the police, watched Xiao Xi cry from afar and couldn't help but choke up. “Xiao Xi, don’t cry. I killed the person who bullied you. No one will dare to bully you again.”
“No one will dare to bully you again. I will protect you from now on.”
It turned out to be a revenge killing for this girl. It seemed the motive for today's murder had been found.
“Feng, why are you so foolish? I told you about what happened before only because I didn’t want to lie to you, not so you would come and kill him!”
“He’s dead, and you’re arrested. What will I do now?” Xiao Xi looked at her boyfriend, who had already crossed the point of no return, and cried bitterly, covering her face.
“I…” The usually eloquent A Feng was suddenly speechless. A hint of guilt seemed to appear in his eyes, feeling that he had let his girlfriend down.
“I, I just didn’t want anyone to bully you. You’re so kind, so beautiful, you deserve to live a good life,” A Feng explained.
Young Master Long now felt very awkward, caught between the two, watching them talk about their love.
Xiao Xi tried to move forward again but was pulled back by Team Leader Guan. “Miss, it’s dangerous inside, you can’t go any further.”
“Let her go! If you touch her again, I’ll kill him!” Team Leader Guan had only lightly pulled Xiao Xi, but it provoked a violent reaction from A Feng. The knife in his hand pressed tighter against Young Master Long’s neck again.
Helpless, Team Leader Guan could only raise his hands, indicating that he wouldn't stop Xiao Xi.
“Try to calm him down and cooperate with us,” Team Leader Guan whispered to Xiao Xi.
The girl nodded and gently passed through the police cordon, drifting towards A Feng like a white lotus flower.
Just as Xiao Xi was about to reach A Feng, he suddenly shouted, “Don’t come over! I have blood, blood! I can’t get you dirty. Just stand there!”
Xiao Xi still wanted to move forward, but A Feng hardened his heart, and the dagger in his hand lightly grazed Young Master Long’s neck, causing a few drops of fresh blood to flow out.
Frightened, Xiao Xi’s face lost all color, and she quickly stopped in her tracks.
Young Master Long felt so wronged. Oh, girl, if he tells you to stop, then stop! Why come forward? I got cut for nothing!
“Feng!” Xiao Xi’s eyes were tearful as she looked at A Feng with deep affection.
A Feng, too, though he hadn't lowered the knife in his hand, his eyes now only held Xiao Xi.
This touching scene even gave people a slight illusion, as if it wasn't a crime scene but a scene of romance.
The culprit was distracted. This was a good opportunity. Team Leader Guan gave a look to a few officers, and one of them quietly moved a few steps forward, hugging the wall.
Unexpectedly, he stepped on an empty mineral water bottle,
“Crunch!”
which startled A Feng awake.
“Don’t move! If you move again, I’ll kill someone!” A Feng roared, pressing the knife tighter again.
Frightened, the officer quickly retreated.
Xiao Xi’s face was full of concern, and she gently persuaded him, “A Feng, put down the knife. It’s okay, I’m here.”
“You go, you go! I’m satisfied that you came to see me. Hurry and leave! Hurry and leave!” A Feng cried out in agony.
He could seek revenge and kill for his girlfriend, but he didn't want his girlfriend to see him in his current state. He wanted to leave a beautiful impression in the 'white moonlight' of her heart.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xi was stubborn enough. She shook her head and said firmly, “I won’t leave, Feng. Put down the knife, it’s okay. You sought revenge for me, the judge will be lenient.”
“Even if you go to jail, I’ll visit you. I’ll wait for you. If you serve ten years, I’ll wait ten years. If you serve twenty years, I’ll wait twenty years. I’ll wait for you my whole life. Please put down the knife, okay?” Xiao Xi said with deep emotion.
“Good! That’s so well said!”
A loud voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone turned to look, and it was Ye Lin.
