Chapter 77: It’s Been a Long Time

Book:Love Like Arsenic Published:2024-5-31

Despite the resentment and anger inside me, I could only put up with it.
The ball was now in Zhao Dong’s court. Like what he had said, nothing good would come out of a desperate fight!
I could only try to outwit him and find the right time to escape!
With this thought, I quieted down. Zhao Dong had also let go of me and continued to observe the situation at the window, holding his gun with vigilance.
He looked like he was going to shoot Quan Shaoze anytime, and I was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
So much so that I kept staring nervously at his every move, ready to stop him anytime.
But when I walked next to him, Quan Shaoze outside still caught my attention.
Seeing Quan Jinnian, Quan Shaoze walked towards him in shock, and his usually indifferent voice had a hint of disbelief, “Brother?”
Seeing him calling Quan Jinnian “brother” without knowing that he wanted him dead, I felt really indignant for him.
He still admired and respected him as his elder brother, but Quan Jinnian only wanted him dead so that he could take possession of his assets!
However, now that the situation was controlled by Zhao Dong, my anger was of no use.
“It’s been such a long time since I last clapped eyes on you,” Quan Jinnian walked closer to Quan Shaoze, and the unprecedented viciousness in his eyes made me panic.
The contrasting huge smile on his face also made my hair stand on end.
Watch out!
Worried about Quan Shaoze, I wanted to rush out and expose Quan Jinnian’s hypocrisy, but was once again caught by Zhao Dong.
I struggled with him for a long time, but to no avail.
I had no choice but to stop unwillingly again, feeling anxious and upset.
I heard Quan Shaoze outside asking in a confused voice why Quan Jinnian was still alive, and my chest tightened when he asked why Quan Jinnian was here.
Quan Jinnian was still smiling, but given his perverted character and his hatred for Quan Shaoze, I was worried that he would just draw a gun and point it at Quan Shaoze the next moment.
But Quan Jinnian’s emotions were still stable, although he had no intention to keep his act up much longer.
I looked at him anxiously as he walked closer to Quan Shaoze, struggling hard as Zhao Dong tried to control my movements again.
Just when I had no more energy left after struggling, I happened to hear Quan Jinnian say in a sneering manner, “My dear brother, now that I’m back, you may rest in peace.”
It was just like how he had forced me to watch Quan Shaoze get engaged.
No! I must get out to help Quan Shaoze!
I had been misled by Quan Shaoze’s expression and didn’t notice the coldness behind the startled look in his eyes.
Therefore, I was shocked when he said that he would live well and take care of the company himself.
At this point, the killing intent in Quan Jinnian’s words was already very obvious.
I panicked at once, and my forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
His last few words were drowned in his own eccentric laughter.
However, Quan Jinnian didn’t answer his question, and was still saying that he would hold a grand funeral for Quan Shaoze after his death, as well as help him take care of his company.
The sense of despair in my heart grew as Zhao Dong pulled me up again by the hair, forcing me to watch how Quan Shaoze was going to die.
The feeling of despair was so great that I wanted to just give up, but my worry for Quan Shaoze made me persevere.
However, I still ended up being pressed against the ground by Zhao Dong, and he was pointing at me with a gun as he said brutally, “Behave yourself!”
This time, despite the disparity in our physical strength, I struggled frantically to escape.
Quan Shaoze still looked as though he was unaware of anything, and merely asked him what he was talking about.
