The Blind Lover - Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Live Well

The man smiled and said, “You are a sensible woman, Zhu Yi. I want ten percent of your share of the dividend. I’ll release you if you agree.”

Zhu Yi sneered, “And what if I refuse?”

“You wouldn’t refuse such a teeny tiny request, no? What is the dividend to you when Qin Sheng’s reputation is on the line? We know Qinghe Gang wants to clean itself, that we don’t care. Then again, I can’t share the profit as initially agreed upon, right? I suppose this is a small price to pay, Zhu Yi, don’t you think?” The man said gleefully.

Zhu Yi’s straightened her stance. “So this is your intention! Why didn’t you tell us instead of accusing us of treason?”

The man replied, “How can I get my ten percent without any reason?”

Zhu Yi smiled. “Okay then, it’s a deal. Let Qin Sheng go and I’ll transfer the money to you.”

The man thought for a moment and let go of Qin Sheng and Zhu Yi.

Qin Sheng flexed his wrist and said to Zhu Yi, “We should be more cautious, why don’t we consult the Grandmaster?”

Zhu Yi shook her head and pulled out her phone. “Forget it, I’ll see it as spending money to avert a disaster.”

Then, something unexpected happened.

The moment Zhu Yi transferred the money, the man suddenly snatched Zhu Yi’s phone and threw it to the subordinate behind him. “Crack the account password right now!”

Qin Sheng’s expression changed abruptly. He rushed forward intending to grab the man’s collar.

Then, a gunshot sounded behind him. Qin Sheng collapsed with a face of disbelief.

“Qin Sheng!” Zhu Yi shouted and pounced in front of Qin Sheng.

This sudden change made Zhu Yi’s snarled. “Chang Ping, you bastard, I’ll take you down with me!”

Zhu Yi lunged forward but collapsed with the bang of a gunshot.

The man looked at the two bodies lying in a pool of blood and sneered, “This is the fate of traitors! A criminal gang can never be clean. You want to clear your name, keep on dreaming! Zhu Yi, I think you have been blinded by love! Since we came from the same sect, I will let you die together for old time’s sake. As for the wealth that you have worked so hard to accumulate, thank you so much. See you never!”

He waved his hand and his men immediately fired at the servants, before leaving the scene.

In an instant, the cozy villa became a scene of carnage as blood stained the carpet into a deep red.

Zhu Yi raised her head from the pool of blood and waved at the wardrobe, in struggles.

Qin Yu hid in the wardrobe with tears streaming down her face, but she could not move nor speak.

Zhu Yi used all her strength to crawl to the wardrobe, but she didn’t open it to let her daughter out.

She lied on the ground and looked at the wardrobe door, looking into the eyes of her daughter, even though she couldn’t see her.

“Xiao Yu, you have to remember the poem Daddy taught you, do you understand? I’d stroll to seek the fountainhead, and there take a seat to admire the sky and watch clouds grow. That is our asset, you have to value it.”

She spoke so hurriedly she had to stop and catch a breather.

“Night lights a thousand tress in bloom, a shower of stars blown, by the Easter wind. Xiao Yu, whomever finishes the poem is one we can trust. Do you understand, my love?” Zhu Yi’s voice slowed down.

“Xiao Yu, don’t be afraid. Remember what Mommy and Daddy taught you. You have to live well. Only by living can you have a chance… Daddy and Mommy loves you … Live your life the way you should!” Zhu Yi slowly closed her eyes.

Tears streamed down Qin Yu’s face but she remained motionless.

The blood on the ground, her parents lying in a pool of blood, and the helpless little Qin Yu isolated in the closet were forever fixed in Qin Yu’s memories. It couldn’t be accessed nor touched.

If it wasn’t for the strong drugs given by the doctor, she wouldn’t have remembered.

By choice, she sealed the memories in a deep place. Using the slowest method she could, she began investigating her parents’ lives from the beginning, yet, never would she allow herself to remember what happened.

If it weren’t for the drug that messed her mind up, she would not have remembered that horrific day.
