CH 65
Dressed as a Stand-in for the White Moonlight
After the initial surprise, Su Yuli quickly found himself wondering whether to laugh bitterly or be angry.
The heavens really wanted him to die. Things have come to this point, and somethingâs still trying to get the plot back on track â and let Wen Jin and Lin Suiyan go to the end and find their eternal separation.
Su Yuli groaned then felt the blindfold covering his eyes being torn off. Because he hadnât been able to see for a long time, he couldnât adapt to the light outside for a while, and couldnât help but close his eyes.
Before Su Yuli could open his eyes again, the tape on his mouth was violently torn off, and a burning pain came from his cheeks, leaving an aching feeling behind.
Su Yuli frowned and opened his eyes. He saw Luo Xing staring at him viciously. At a glance, Su Yuli was surprised.
Luo Xing has always been very concerned about his image. In Su Yuliâs impression, every time he saw Luo Xing, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. But now, Luo Xing had lost a lot of weight, his hair was messed up, he had stubble growing on his chin, and his eyes were bloodshot. He clearly hasnât slept in a long time. Not only that, but the suit he was wearing was also wrinkled. Obviously, the fugitive career brought great psychological pressure to Luo Xingâs heart, leaving him no time to pay attention to his appearance.
Su Yuli looked at Luo Xing and felt that he looked very much like a villain from a TV series. Then he thought about how Luo Xing was indeed a villain in the world of âSubstituteâ. And this villain had now kidnapped him.
At this time, Su Yuli found that he was still in the mood to think about this. He couldnât help smiling bitterly. His heart was really big.
Su Yuli was observing Luo Xing to prevent him from making any drastic action. In order to avoid it in time he was watching his surroundings from the corner of his eye.
He found that he wasnât in a room as heâd assumed, and that what he was stepping on was not the floor, but a smooth stone surface. The place where he and Luo Xing were now was a cliff, and a few meters away from him was the turbulent sea.
Su Yuli just transmigrated back. His senses hadnât fully recovered and he was a little dazed. Now, after a little time, he had regained control of his body, and all his senses come back in turn.
He felt the sea breeze blowing, bringing a biting chill. He heard the waves crashing against the reef, making a clattering sound. He saw Luo Xingâs eyes flashing with bitter hatred and jealousyâ¦
Su Yuli moved slightly and found that his hands were tied by rope.
The sea, cliffs, kidnapping, and Luo Xingâ¦
Su Yuli took a deep breath, looked into Luo Xingâs eyes and asked, âWhat are you trying to do?â
Luo Xing stared at Su Yuli coldly. Just as he was about to speak, a shrill bell suddenly rang. Su Yuli noticed that Luo Xing was holding a cell phone in one hand.
Luo Xing stared at the caller ID, his eyes flickering coldly. After a long time, he clicked to connect. But when he put the phone to his ear he didnât say anything.
The man on the other end of the phone said a few words. His voice drifted into Su Yuliâs ear along with the sea breeze. Although it was somewhat distorted and he couldnât hear the content clearly, Su Yuli recognized it. It was Lin Suiyanâs voice. He immediately called, âSuiyan, donât worry, Iâm fine.â
Luo Xingâs expression turned cold. He lifted his foot and kicked. Su Yuli swayed slightly, and fell to the ground following Luo Xingâs strength.
Luo Xing looked at Su Yuliâs weak hands and feet contemptuously. He turned his head and whispered a few words into the phone, then hung up.
Lin Suiyan came quickly, and according to Luo Xingâs request, he came alone, without calling the police. He parked his car in the distance and walked over on foot.
When Lin Suiyan approached, Luo Xing pulled Su Yuli up from the ground. At some point a dagger had appeared in his hand and was held to Su Yuliâs neck.
The icy blade was pressed against Su Yuliâs neck, and Su Yuli couldnât help shivering. Although if he died in this world, he would still be alive and well when he returned to his original world. But if he went back now, there would be a sea of people. He doesnât know anything about Lin Suiyan. How could he meet him again?
If he really âdiedâ here, then for him and Lin Suiyan, it would be goodbye. He struggled so far that he couldnât accept such an outcome.
Lin Suiyan stopped three meters away from Luo Xing. The sea breeze blew the hem of Lin Suiyanâs clothes. The sea breeze was biting, but Lin Suiyanâs eyes were gentle. Although he didnât speak, Su Yuli instantly understood the thousands of words in his eyes.
At that moment, Su Yuliâs eyes ached, and he almost burst into tears. Itâs just that the tears didnât fall in the end, as if to make Lin Suiyan feel at ease. Su Yuli put away the worries in his heart and slowly raised his eyebrows. He said, âIâm fine, donât worry about it.â
Lin Suiyan nodded and looked at Luo Xing: âIâm here. You let him go.â
Luo Xing, holding Su Yuli hostage looked at Lin Suiyan and smiled, but there was a bitter hatred in that smile âYou came very quickly. Who told me that he was just my stand-in?â
Luo Xing lost control of his emotions when he mentioned this incident. The hand with the knife was unstable, and Su Yuliâs neck was immediately covered with blood.
The dazzling blood almost burned Lin Suiyanâs eyes. He immediately said, âCalm down.â
Seeing how nervous Lin Suiyan was, Luo Xing couldnât calm down. He growled, âI thought you loved me. You donât know how happy I am, but youâre lying to me. Youâve betrayed my trust, you liar.â
Lin Suiyan listened quietly to Luo Xingâs curse. When he stopped breathing angrily, Lin Suiyan said in a low voice, âWhether you want to believe it or not, I didnât say that about the stand-in.â
Luo Xingâs eyes widened, then he laughed out loud: âItâs not you? Was that a ghost? Lin Suiyan, are you taking me as a fool?â
Compared with Luo Xingâs anger, Su Yuli, who was being held hostage by him, was much calmer. He knew that Lin Suiyanâs words werenât for Luo Xing, but for him.
He didnât have to worry about the questions he didnât ask that day. At this moment, he had the exact answer in his heart.
Luo Xing was angry and shouting, but Lin Suiyan remained calm. He asked, âYou keep saying that you love me. Do you really understand love?â
Luo Xingâs eyes narrowed, and he was about to attack again. Lin Suiyan raised his hand and motioned him to calm down and listen to him first. Then Lin Suiyan began to count what Luo Xing had done over the years. From the first time he made use of his appearance and body to gain benefits and embarked on the road of no return.
Su Yuli silently listened to Luo Xingâs actions over the years. Lin Suiyanâs information was very complete. Luo Xing had been with many people over the years, men and women, old and young.
At first, Luo Xing just wanted to get contacts and resources. Later, he began to be dissatisfied, so he used his loverâs identity to steal confidential documents from his company. Later, he even started killing people uncontrollably, but it was well disguised as an accident by him.
Every time Lin Suiyan said something, Luo Xingâs face went paler, and in the end it became ashen. He wanted Lin Suiyan to shut up, but his teeth were rattling and he couldnât say a word.
Having finally finished talking about what Luo Xing had done all these years, Lin Suiyan paused for a moment. He looked deeply into Luo Xingâs eyes. âLuo Xing, who did you really love along the way? Your parents? How long has it been since you went back to see them? Do you love them? Thereâs no need to make excuses. You only love yourself.â
Lin Suiyan looked at Luo Xing with pity in his eyes. âEver since you were young, you have been very outstanding. Youâre smart and have an enviable appearance. Your teachers appreciate you very much. When you entered society, your colleagues loved you very much. You have many precious things, but you lost them yourself. Your eyes are always looking at others, and you forget what you have. Today youâve ended up like this. Do you think I hurt you? No, you did it to yourself.â
When the bright young man stepped into the big dye vat of society, he failed to defend himself and lost himself.
Lin Suiyanâs interrogation was loud and clear, and Luo Xingâs face turned white. Finally, he sneered: âMr. Lin, what you said is really good. You were born as a proud son of heaven, and grew up with rich clothes and food since you were a child. But what do I have? Have you ever been looked down upon? Have you ever been ridiculed? My appearance and body are my own, a gift from God. Why canât I use them? I just want to be better and get more peopleâs respect. Whatâs wrong with me?â
Su Yuli found that it was almost impossible to explain to such a man as Luo Xing. This person has been broken from the inside out. He has hurt so many people and done so many wrong things, and now he is still asking, whatâs wrong with him?
Su Yuli didnât even have the heart to scold him.
Itâs pointless, just a waste of words.
Lin Suiyan watched Luo Xing vent quietly. When he stopped to breathe, he asked in a low voice, âThen how can you be satisfied? Will you be satisfied after being with me?â
Luo Xingâs expression was blank for a moment. Obviously, he never thought about this problem. He has been keeping a close eye on Lin Suiyan all this time because Lin Suiyan was the strongest and most capable in A city and Lin Suiyan had been interested in him when he was still in school. He felt that he could seize Lin Suiyan.
But as Lin Suiyan said, he abandoned one gold owner after another in order to climb up these years, because there were always stronger and more powerful people. Then, if he really stayed with Lin Suiyan, would he live with Lin Suiyan in peace?
In addition to City A, there was also City B, City C ⦠There was a wider world outside. What position does he have to stand in and what kind of wealth does he have to have before he can be satisfied?
When Su Yuli fell to the ground just now, he took the opportunity to grab a stone in his hand, and this effort had successfully broken the rope. Taking advantage of Luo Xingâs daze he grabbed Luo Xingâs wrist and threw Luo Xing over his shoulder.
Luo Xing was stunned. Obviously, he expected Su Yuli to be soft and weak. How could he have so much strength?
Su Yuli patted the dust off his hands, fluffed the hair on his forehead very coolly, and gave Lin Suiyan a victory gesture.
Lin Suiyan stepped forward quickly and hugged Su Yuli.
