CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 400: DEAD COMPLETELY

Uncle Liu stepped forward. "I did it all for your own good."

Tears streaming down her face, Bai Yuejie gave a sardonic laugh. "For my good? Do you know why I keep living? It’s just to let him know that I can be better than Tang Wu, I can be superior to Tang Wu. If he dies, what’s the point of me living alone?"

Uncle Liu’s face turned ugly. "Yuejie, have you gone mad? Do you really think this way? That man doesn’t have you in his heart at all. Why must you cling to him when he’s like this? What’s so good about him?"

"He’s good in everything!"

Uncle Liu, beside himself with anger, stepped forward and shouted, "You’re beyond hope! Do you know what he has done? He killed Kevin and Kadi! Do you still remember Kevin and Kadi, the brothers you used to play with when you were little?"

Of course, Bai Yuejie remembered.

But later, they had lost all contact.

Bai Yuejie scoffed coldly, unimpressed. "If you hadn’t sent them to deal with Brother Ling Yan first, they wouldn’t have died. They deserved it!"

Grinding his teeth, Uncle Liu raised his hand as if to slap her.

Bai Yuejie turned pale and stepped back in fright.

Seeing this, Uncle Liu realized what he was doing and lowered his hand, walking toward her.

Terrified, Bai Yuejie stepped back and asked with a pale face, "Were you going to hit me just now?"

Her tone was too panicked, too fearful.

Uncle Liu’s heart clenched, feeling a twinge of pity. "I didn’t mean to. I was just a bit angry. Don’t be scared."

Tears fell from Bai Yuejie’s eyes. "Please leave, I need to calm down alone."

Her tone was imperious, like commanding a servant, which made Uncle Liu’s expression instantly darkened even more. He didn’t leave but instead stepped forward and said coldly, "Forget him. Such a man isn’t worth your anger nor mine. He is completely out of your life, dead, gone."

"No!" Bai Yuejie’s face was filled with unsteady rage and deep-seated fear. "Brother Ling Yan can’t die. If Brother Ling Yan dies, what’s the point of me living!"

"He killed my people; he must die!" Uncle Liu responded grimly. "You’re really poisoned by him. I might have let you act recklessly before, but this time, if Shi Lingyan wakes up and starts reflecting on this matter, we are doomed."

"But..."

"Only with his death can Tang Wu’s death remain a secret forever. Only with his death is there no one to protect that fool, and only then can his heart be successfully transplanted into you. Do you understand at all!" Uncle Liu fumed in frustration.

Bai Yuejie trembled slightly. "But... it’s not possible. Brother Ling Yan can’t die."

Seeing Bai Yuejie like this, Uncle Liu felt an overwhelming disappointment and shook his head, ultimately not saying anything else.

As he was about to leave, Bai Yuejie quickly stepped forward to grab him. "Uncle Liu, you mustn’t let him die. He can’t die; he’s going to marry me. He definitely will!"

Uncle Liu remained unmoved but did not speak, simply making to leave.

Bai Yuejie shouted out, "Dad!"

Uncle Liu finally stopped and turned around incredulously. "What?"

Bai Yuejie, pale-faced and nearly groveling, pleaded, "Dad, dad, please don’t kill him, okay?"
