Chapter 45: I’ll Take You back

Book:Love Like Arsenic Published:2024-5-1

As if being suddenly drained, I felt my limbs feeble with a pang of twitch in the heart, which almost made me pass out again.
Though I was filled with anger, the grief seemed more violent. The pain and sorrow rose from the bottom of my heart overwhelmed me one more time.
Despite that it was Quan Shaoze in front of me, I threw myself into his arms and burst out crying.
“Let’s go! I’ll take you back.” To my surprise, instead of pushing me away, Quan Shaoze held me up.
In a trance, I suddenly recalled what he had promised me.
He once said as long as I was obedient, nothing bad would happen to my brother.
Since then, I had never done anything against his will. But why did it end like this?
My throat hurt badly, but I still broke free from Quan Shaoze’s arms resentfully and roared with all my strength, “You said my brother would be okay, didn’t you? So why did he die? You liar!”
With that, burning tears rolled from my swollen eyes again.
I walked closer to him and suddenly grabbed him by the collar of his expensive suit with my trembling hands, feeling chilled to the bones.
It must be this man! He intended to teach me a lesson, so he plotted everything which resulted in my brother’s death!
Seeing that I was out of my mind, Quan Shaoze reached out and pulled my hands off his collar with a frown.
“I’ve found the best doctor and paid all the medical fees for your brother. What happened to him has nothing to do with me,” He looked at me indifferently while speaking coolly.
The indifference in his eyes not only made me feel like I was in an ice grotto but also pricked my sensitive nerves.
I was instantly crushed by his indifference and all my anger as well as grief were suddenly replaced by embarrassment.
I was so stupid! As indifferent as Quan Shaoze, how could he take good care of my brother? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed anyone to pull out my brother’s oxygen tube!
Maybe in Quan Shaoze’s mind, I should shed tears of gratitude for he had paid the medical bills for my brother.
In despair, I was about to leave, but in the end, Quan Shaoze took me to his villa forcibly.
I stopped struggling and let him pull me everywhere as if I was just a lifeless puppet.
At night, I stood before the window, looking at my bleak eyes reflected in the glass.
“Lin Feng, what have you done these days?”
“You said you would protect your brother, didn’t you?”
At the thought of this, tears streamed down my cheeks again.
Meanwhile, hatred mixed in intense grief suddenly rose within me.
The hatred was overwhelming that I immediately saw in the reflection of the glass that my eyes had become bloodshot.
I would definitely find out the person who murdered my brother and make him pay for his death!
The next day, I called a private detective and asked him to go to the hospital to look into it. At night, I received his message, which instantly froze me on the spot.
I collapsed when I saw Quan Shaoze appear in the surveillance video at the time of my brother’s death, which meant he was most likely the murder!
Disregarding that it was already late at night, I threw my cell phone away and rushed to Quan Shaoze’s room ragingly.
He hadn’t gone to bed yet and was untying his necktie when I stormed in.
“Quan Shaoze! Enough! When are you going to stop getting even with me!?” I roared hysterically, shivering all over.
