Chapter 825: Tragic End (1)
However, no one dared to underestimate the knife in his hand. This crazy man could really do it to a child.
“Zhao Youming!” While Zhao Youlin and the others were hesitant, Zhao Youxi did not have such concerns. Her face darkened as she looked at her arm, which was bleeding. She raised her hand and pointed the gun at Zhao Youming.
“They care, but I don’t. I wanted to kill this child, and so do you. Now, both of you can go to Hell.”
Zhao Youming’s heart skipped a beat. He was already regretting the fact that he had failed to kill her just now. Now that he heard Zhao Youxi’s words, he felt an indescribable fear.
In this world, everyone was afraid of death, so he was naturally no exception.
However, after realizing that he could not escape death, no matter what, Zhao Youming suddenly went a little crazy.
When he took in Zhao Youxi’s resolute gaze, Zhao Youming suddenly felt that since he was already about to die, he might as well drag someone along with him to be his scapegoat, he would die by his own terms.
He had nothing left, and these people were the main culprits who had taken away his life. As long as the child died, they would be in excruciating pain. As long as the child died… they would live in darkness for the rest of their lives.
With that thought in mind, Zhao Youming finally raised the knife in his hand high up.
“Mom, Mom…” Joy’s cries never stopped. His shrill cries were like the last struggle of a dying small animal, they were absolutely heartbreaking.
…
Zhao Youxi looked at Joy and was momentarily absent-minded. When she came back to her senses, she raised the gun in her hand firmly.
“Bang…” A loud sound accompanied Zhao Youlin’s desperate cry, “No!”
Blood spurted out and splashed on Zhao Youming’s snow-white shirt.
Zhao Youming stared at his bloody palm in a daze. After a while, he finally felt the pain in his hand. It was too late for him to do anything.
It turned out that Zhao Youxi had wounded Zhao Youming’s knife-holding hand with a gun at the critical moment just now. Then, under everyone’s shocked gaze, she quickly stepped forward and pulled the child out of Zhao Youming’s arms. She successfully pulled Joy to the side, then grabbed Zhao Youming’s body tightly and shot him in the stomach again.
Zhao Youming was in pain, but he did not put down the knife in his hand. He knew that this was his last hope. If he lost his knife, there would really be nothing left.
Zhao Youming’s face darkened. The knife that was originally aimed at Joy turned and stabbed at Zhao Youxi’s back.
The sharp pain of the knife penetrating into her back made Zhao Youxi cry out in pain, but the gun in her hand rang again.
With a bang, Zhao Youming’s body trembled. He had already suffered a few shots and was already close to blacking out. He knew very well that he had no chance of winning today. Gritting his teeth, he threw away the bloody knife in his hand. He used the last of his strength to hug Zhao Youxi tightly and pull her back.
This building was originally just an empty shell, and there were no walls behind them, let alone the edge of the fence.
Zhao Youming hugged Zhao Youxi tightly and fell backward. Everything happened too quickly, and Zhao Youxi fell down with him, not even bothered to resist.
Zhao Youlin and the others had already rushed over the moment Zhao Youxi pushed Joy over.
Zhao Youlin immediately hugged Joy in her arms and watched in shock as the siblings mercilessly killed each other.
As the two of them embraced each other tightly and fell down, the other adults gasped at the same time and quickly rushed to the edge of the building, but they were still one step too late.
The fifth floor was very high, but it only took them a short while to fall from it.
With two muffled thuds, the two of them landed on the ground at the same time. Zhao Youming was already critically injured. The moment he hit the ground, he almost died immediately. On the other hand, when Zhao Youxi landed on the ground, she vomited blood from her mouth, but she did not die just yet.
She raised her head slightly and saw the group looking down through her blood-red eyes. She could not help but reminisce the past.
At that time, she and Zhao Youming had just entered junior high school. She went to an ordinary high school, but Zhao Youming went to an aristocratic school that only rich families could afford.
At that time, she did not know any better. She only heard people talk about how good the school her brother went to. Her mom had sent her brother to a boarding school.
Zhao Youxi was already spoiled by Li Hongyu to the point of being out of control. She immediately ran home to question her mom.
At that time… Li Hongyu had said, “You’re a girl, and your grades are not as good. I can’t bear to see you suffer too much. You only need to live a casual life, find someone who dotes on you in the future, and live happily for the rest of your life. Your Dad and I will take care of the rest.”
“Then why can’t my brother do the same?”
Li Hongyu smiled. “Because he is a boy. He will grow up to be an indomitable man in the future. He will protect me, you, and his future wife. So he will have to work harder than sister. Youxi, you must treat him well in the future. Let’s love and protect one another, okay?”
At that time, she had agreed happily. “Yes, yes. I will definitely love little brother in the future and protect you together.”
At that time, she began to suspect that their mom was biased toward her and Zhao Youming because of some gossip.
Little did she know that in Zhao Youming’s heart, he also thought that Li Hongyu was biased toward her. Moreover, because of this bias, he killed their mom who wanted to protect them.
It was because of this that Zhao Youxi hated Zhao Youming so much. She hated Zhao Youming’s ruthlessness and hated how Zhao Youming did not understand the high hopes that Li Hongyu had for him. He did not understand at all how much their mom had silently done for them and paved the way for them. In the end, he had even caused her death.
Zhao Youxi looked at the dazzling sunlight above her head and suddenly realized that she had either fought with others or had hardened her heart to take revenge. She had never been as happy as her mother had hoped. In the end, she had not been able to fulfill the promise she had made to her mother. She had not supported Zhao Youming or protected him.
However, she did not regret it. She could not swallow her anger and did not intend to swallow it just like that. Therefore, she would have to go to heaven to apologize to her mother for the promises she had failed to fulfill.
