Chapter 45: Why Did He Take the Bullet?
Translator: DWM
My hesitation made Qin Mochen’s eyes gradually become dim and painful.
Suddenly, the rasping voice of Murong Shuo came through, “Mo Yulin, you are the most pathetic person. You were adopted by Mo family, and you were jealous of everything that Mo Yufei had. Later, you were stranded on a deserted island for two years because of her, and suffered inhumane torture day and night. But now the one you love the most has abandoned you, and you have nothing now, even becoming a prisoner. Do you reconcile to this? Don’t you hate them?”
Murong Shuo’s crazy words lingered in our ears. Mo Yulin’s face turned pale and her hostile eyes stared at me. I knew that Murong Shuo wanted to provoke Mo Yulin and perish together with us. Mo Yulin kept her gun up all the time, and the target was me.
My body shivered. Before I had time to move, Qin Mochen suddenly put me behind his back. He looked at Mo Yulin calmly, “Put the gun down. If you hurt Fei’er, I will make you regret it forever.”
Mo Yulin lost her energy for a moment, and then looked at Qin Mochen in pain. She shook her head in disbelief, “Chen, are you kidding me? In fact, you loved me all this time, right? Please tell me! As long as you say you love me, we will get out of here right away.”
She looked at Qin Mochen with expectations in her eyes. Her tense expression and eager tone made me suddenly feel that she was really pathetic.
She was adopted by my father when she was a child. She ran out of her mind to rob everything from me, but it turned out to be nothing.
Qin Mochen looked at Mo Yulin coldly and answered her indifferently, “Mo Yufei is the only one I love!”
His voice was serious and powerful, and every word hit on my heart. I looked at the man in front of me tremblingly, but I found that his back was soaked with blood. I was shocked by his condition and embraced him in panic, “Mochen, don’t say anything else! Let’s go! You have lost a lot of blood.”
I was really afraid that Qin Mochen would lose too much blood and leave me forever.
I supported him and wanted to take him away. Suddenly, the angry roar of Mo Yulin sounded through the warehouse, “I hate both of you! Qin Mochen, Mo Yufei, I hate you!”
She glared at us with hate and laughed miserably, “I have nothing at all. No one can get the things that belong to me!”
Then she pointed the gun at Qin Mochen!
“No!!”I screamed loudly. I wanted to take the bullet for Qin Mochen, but a pair of powerful arms held me tightly. I struggled to free myself, but it didn’t work.
“Mochen, don’t do that... No...”
I shook my head in pain. The sound of gunfire and groans of pain kept coming from behind me. A sharp pain overwhelmed me as if my heart had been torn apart.
My world turned blue at this moment.
I embraced Qin Mochen’s arm tightly and closed my eyes in despair. I thought if he died, I would die with him. I just hoped that we wouldn’t have to go through so much pain in the next life.
After the shooting, I tried to free myself from his embrace but discovered that his arms were stiff. But suddenly, he freed me and turned back.
I was shocked, then quickly turned around. When I saw the dying Su Chengzhao lying in a pool of blood, I collapsed on the ground.
How could he do that!
Did Su Chengzhao take the bullet for Qin Mochen?
Didn’t he hate Qin Mochen before?
Why did he do that?
Qin Mochen frowned and looked at Su Chengzhao, suddenly knelt in front of him, and asked him seriously, “Why did you do that for me?”
Su Chengzhao smiled gently, his eyes fixed on me all the time, then reached out to me weakly. I felt shocked when I saw his bloody hands.
I scrambled confusedly to his side and held him carefully in my arms. I shook my head in pain and burst into tears. At this moment, I didn’t know what else I could do expect asking him why.
