Chapter 1248: Mei Feng’s Ending (13)
The only source of light in the dim room was the bedside reading lamp.
The rest of the room was dark, but Mei Feng could clearly see the murderous look in Shen Xiu’s eyes.
She felt the hands around her neck tighten as he said, “Are you going to speak up?”
She felt all the tiny hairs on her back standing on end as she choked.
She bit her lip and extended her hands, trying to wriggle out of his grip.
But she was pinned down by Shen Xiu and she wasn’t as strong as the man. She struggled with all her strength for a while but it was useless.
Her chest was in extreme pain from the choking. For the first time, Mei Feng felt death coming down upon her.
Her mouth fell open, but no words came. She widened her mouth like a fish out of the water gasping for air. But her vision was blurring as all her other senses sharpened. Just as she thought that she was going to die, the hands around her neck loosened their grip.
Immediately, she started taking in big breaths.
Now she was beginning to get scared.
Scared of this man, this man who seemed to be going mad.
Shen Xiu lowered his voice and asked in a vicious tone, “Are you going to tell me?”
She quickly replied, “Shen Xiu, you can get imprisoned for killing someone! Don’t- don’t be rash.”
Her voice was raspy, as her vocal cords had been damaged from the choking.
Shen Xiu laughed icily and said, “How hard do you think it is for the wealthy like us to avoid the law, even if we kill someone? You know, no one would even know that you’ve died.”
Mei Feng’s pupils shrank back at once. Shen Xiu continued, “Where is Xiao Wang?”
Where was Xiao Wang?
How would she know?!
In the past, perhaps Mei Feng could have outsmarted him but right now, she was frightened by his behavior and was completely afraid.
She quickly said, “I don’t know. I really don’t know. It wasn’t me. I didn’t kidnap Xiao Wang… I have nothing to do with her..”
Shen Xiu’s eyes turned bloodshot and he shouted, “Mei Feng! Do you think that I won’t dare to hurt you?! Do you not believe me when I say that I will really strangle you to death?! If Xiao Wang dies, I will make sure you accompany her to hell.”
After saying this, he tightened his grip again.
Mei Feng’s eyes were on the verge of popping out.
Shen Xiu’s action earlier had given her the misperception that he had been about to kill her.
But he was really going to kill her now.
A sense of panic overcame her at once and she reflexively pushed him with all the strength she had.
The truth was that Shen Xiu would never have the guts, otherwise, he wouldn’t have bumbled to this extent through most of his life. What he had done had just been a carefully timed show, put up only to frighten Mei Feng.
At this point, he was just about to loosen his grip and release Mei Feng, but she had unfortunately given him a hard push.
Hence, it didn’t take much for Shen Xiu to tumble off the bed onto the floor, falling right on his bottom.
“You dare to hit me!”
Shen Xiu hollered in anger and tried to get onto his feet to charge at Mei Feng. But his bottom was in so much pain that his back gave way, and he fell backwards uncontrollably.
Then, his whole body started to tremble involuntarily.
Mei Feng was stunned and suddenly realized that Shen Xiu was having an attack.
These years, he had had high blood pressure.
He had just gotten worked up, hence his blood pressure had risen. Now he was having a stroke!
