Not far away, Li Qiaomeng observed everything with nearly exhausted patience. The knife in her hand pressed a bit deeper against Ye Xiyuan’s neck.
At this moment, Ye Xiyuan’s consciousness was becoming hazy. She could sense her life force steadily slipping away. Uncertain of how much longer she could endure, she even questioned if she would leave this place alive today.
“Since none of you care about Ye Xiyuan’s life, then don’t blame me.” Li Qiaomeng, wearing a fierce expression, shouted, “I’m going to kill Ye Xiyuan now. Even if I have to die, I want her to bear the consequences.”
“Do as you please.” Ye Lengan remained indifferent. “However, Li Qiaomeng, after you kill Ye Xiyuan, you’d better commit suicide immediately. Otherwise, your fate won’t be much better. Also, after you die, remember to protect your family. You have to know that those people from the Ye family won’t let this matter end just because you’re dead. At that time, all the revenge will fall on your family.”
Upon hearing the word “family”, Li Qiaomeng, initially in a frenzy, showed a hint of inner conflict in her eyes. Todays actions were impulsive, but once initiated, there was no turning back. However, mentioning her family introduced hesitation.
Especially her mother in the detention center and her father and brother back in her hometown. Her mother had shouldered all the blame for her.
If she killed Ye Xiyuan now, the Ye family would undoubtedly retaliate against her own. Her mother, father, and brother would likely have no way out.
Contemplating this, she hesitated.
Seizing what seemed like an opportunity, the commanding officer promptly urged, “Li Qiaomeng, think about your family! If something really happens to you, what will they do? If you release Ye Xiyuan now, it’s not too late.”
“Yes, indeed!” Zheng Anyang joined in. “If we continue to delay, Ye Xiyuan will be in trouble. It will be too late then.’
As long as Ye Lengan was not pushed to replace Ye Xiyuan, he naturally didn’t want anything to happen to Ye Xiyuan. After all, this was a school, and Ye Xiyuan was his student.
Ye Li had composed himself. He looked at Li Qiaomeng, eyes filled with pressure. “Think about your family, young girl! I believe you don’t want them to suffer because of you!’
While there were no explicit revenge threats in his words, an underlying intimidation was evident.
Li Qiaomeng found herself caught in a dilemma. She truly wanted to proceed without a care, directly killing Ye Xiyuan. However, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Bang!
Li Qiaomeng suddenly felt a sharp pain in her knife-wielding arm. Before she could react, the knife slipped from her grasp.
Suddenly, the world seemed to spin. When she regained her senses, she was already pinned to the ground, tightly controlled by several police officers as if she were a dangerous criminal.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiyuan, previously held hostage, was now being supported by a police officer.
It turned out that one of the officers in the shadows had taken advantage of Li Qiaomengs hesitation and decisively pulled the trigger, hitting Li Qiaomengs arm. This action led to the subsequent events.
Now restrained, Li Qiaomeng felt a surge of unwillingness. She struggled to stand up.
She couldn’t accept that her impulsive actions had not only failed to implicate Ye Lengan but also resulted in Ye Xiyuan being saved. Everything she had done seemed like a cruel joke.
Lin Wanqin pushed everyone aside and reached Ye Xiyuan’s side, her face marked by tears and concern. “Xiyuan, are you okay? Don’t worry; the ambulance will be here soon. You’ll be fine.’
Ye Li and Ye Anyun also approached.
Watching Ye Xiyuan surrounded by her family, Li Qiaomengs eyes emitted intense hatred. Filled with reluctance and resentment, she shouted, “Ye Xiyuan, don’t get too comfortable. Do you really think your family loves you that much? If they truly cared and wanted to save you, they wouldn’t have been so afraid to confront Ye Lengan earlier. Everything they’re showing now is just a façade..”
