"Dad! I’m begging you!"
"I said no and that’s final!"
"Dad! Just this once, I promise, if you help this ti, I will listen to you in the future, I beg you! Dad!"
Fang ngzhu shook her father’s arm pleadingly with a cute yet pitiful look on her face.
Fang Keyi paused for a mont, staring at his daughter, who looked at him eagerly.
Seeing his daughter’s posture, he sternly interrogated, "What’s your relationship with Su Xin? Why are you pleading for him? Why should I help him?"
"He... he’s my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? Isn’t he a high school student?"
Even though he had ntally prepared when he saw his daughter’s behavior earlier, hearing her confession still left Fang Keyi incredulous.
Fang ngzhu, too anxious to worry about embarrassnt, pleaded, "This is not the ti to discuss that; Su Xin is really in need of help, Dad, I’m begging you! You have to help him!"
Fang Keyi shook his head firmly:
"No need to say more, I can’t help!"
Seeing her father’s resolute face, Fang ngzhu dropped to her knees beside him, tears flowing as she sobbed:
"Dad! If you don’t help him, he’ll definitely die! I’ve finally found soone I like, how can you let watch him go to his death? I’m begging you this one ti, how can you be so heartless..."
At this mont.
Han Danfeng was startled by the commotion and walked out from a room upstairs. Seeing the scene in the downstairs hall, she was shocked:
"ngzhu, what are you doing? Why did you kneel down? Get up!"
Fang ngzhu looked up at her mother as if seeing hope and quickly said:
"Mom, help plead with Dad, Su Xin is in big trouble now, I want to ask Dad to help him, please talk to Dad for ."
Fang Keyi, though shocked at his daughter’s kneeling, would definitely not help Su Xin in such a matter.
After all, he himself was the murderer.
Besides, the matter was too complicated; even pretending to investigate could involve him, leading to the police discovering sothing unusual.
"Soone, take the young lady back to her room."
Fang Keyi ordered, turning to leave.
"Dad!!"
Fang ngzhu sat weakly on the ground, tears streaming down while her mind was filled only with thoughts of the tragic outco Su Xin might face.
With the help of the maid, Fang ngzhu returned to her room in a daze, lay in bed spacing out, worrying about Su Xin.
After an unknown amount of ti.
A gunshot suddenly rang out from outside.
Fang ngzhu imdiately ca to her senses, sat up, and nervously walked out of her room, just in ti to see her father also stepping out.
"ngzhu, co here."
Fang Keyi held a gun and calmly instructed.
"Okay!"
Knowing what the gunshot outside implied, Fang ngzhu naturally wouldn’t act willfully now; listening obediently was best for everyone.
Once she entered the room, Fang Keyi quickly closed the door, carefully stood behind it, holding the gun and listening closely to the noises outside.
"Don’t worry, the bodyguards will take care of it."
Han Danfeng patted Fang ngzhu’s head, pulling her to the inside, standing behind the wardrobe.
But soon, more gunshots rang out, and the voices of the bodyguards grew fainter.
Fang Keyi’s face grew increasingly solemn.
Two minutes later.
The villa fell into silence.
The three inside felt their hearts tighten simultaneously.
They all knew what it ant.
If the bodyguards had killed the intruder, they’d certainly report, not stay silent.
So, most likely, all their bodyguards have been killed, or anyone daring to erge has been killed.
Why is there no movent then?
This silence made the three inside even more uneasy, completely unaware of the situation outside.
Just as Fang Keyi hesitated.
"Click!"
An extrely faint sound reached the ears of the three inside.
It was the sound of the door lock turning.
Fang Keyi quickly raised his handgun.
Silently...
The door was slowly pushed open.
Fang Keyi’s gaze was fixed on the direction of the door, watching the gap widen, with more and more of outside space visible, his forehead unconsciously dotted with sweat.
At this mont—
"Ah!!"
"Ah! He’s inside!"
Two simultaneous screams made Fang Keyi’s mind jolt as he failed to grasp the aning of the words.
By the ti he realized, his wife seed to be saying ’the enemy is inside’, a harsh gunshot sounded behind him.
"Bang!"
Fang Keyi clutched his chest in confusion.
Seeing his hand covered in blood, feeling his strength rapidly dissipate, he slowly collapsed.
"Bang Bang Bang!!"
Three more shots completely drained his strength, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.
As he collapsed, he finally saw the attacker and his eyes widened in shock and bewildernt.
"Black... Robed Man?!"
After uttering these words, his expression froze, motionless.
Blood spread everywhere.
"Keyi!!"
"Dad!!"
Two won scread simultaneously.
Su Xin glanced at the two, casually disengaged the gun’s safety, tucked it into his waistband, then, with hands hidden beneath the black robe, perford a pinpoint Instant Teleportation, vanishing from the villa.
What he didn’t notice was.
Just as he was leaving, Fang ngzhu happened to turn her head, eting his gaze.
In that instant, Fang ngzhu shuddered violently.
...
By the ti Su Xin returned ho, it was around eleven at night.
The long and painful day had finally reached its end.
Su Xin washed up and lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his mind in turmoil.
This day, too much happened.
The initially highly anticipated system task triggered as expected, completed smoothly, and awakened his third superpower.
Yet he couldn’t feel happy at all.
His parents were both killed today.
The girlfriend Fang ngzhu, whom he truly started liking today, turned out her father was the true culprit who killed his parents, and Su Xin ruthlessly killed him, fulfilling revenge for his parents.
But he still felt an imnse heartache.
Before today, he didn’t have such deep feelings for Fang ngzhu, avenging his parents would have been done with no psychological burden.
But today, during his most sorrowful and vulnerable mont, seeing Fang ngzhu’s caring effort and selfless devotion stirred real feelings within him.
Ironically, it happened at this ti...
He avenged his parents, yet despite so lingering hatred and anger, it has little to do with Fang ngzhu and her family now.
But now he is Fang ngzhu’s father’s murderer.
"How will I interact with her from now on?"
"Sigh!"
Su Xin let out a long sigh.
Then suddenly—
"Knock Knock Knock!!"
A rhythmic knocking sounded.
