CHAPTER 687: CHAPTER 273 XIE RUILIN’S TRUE FACE FULLY EXPOSED (THREE MORE)

This time, it was a real faint.

The moment Qin Shuyang was seen, he passed out completely.

Probably because he had always been living in fear deep down.

When faced with it directly, an unbearable great terror arose.

"The saline is right there," Xie Ruotong reminded Qin Shuyang.

Meaning, you can splash him awake.

Qin Shuyang, of course, had no trace of compassion as he lifted that bucket of water and directly poured it over Xie Ruilin’s body.

The pain snapped Xie Ruilin back to consciousness in an instant.

Upon waking, he started screaming like crazy, "Ah..."

A heart-wrenching, agonizing scream.

It echoed in waves within the interrogation room!

Xie Ruotong just listened on.

An expression of utmost cruelty appeared on Qin Shuyang’s face.

Song Yanqing also looked towards them.

"Qin Shuyang..." Song Yanqing called out to him.

Qin Shuyang turned his head to look at him.

If it weren’t for Song Yanqing calling him, he really wouldn’t have known that the man with an unrecognizable face in front of him was Song Yanqing.

He thought it was just any criminal who had suffered punishment.

Qin Shuyang scrutinized him for a long while.

After a long while, he burst into insane laughter, "Song Yanqing, ever since you were young, you were talented and full of ambition. Who would have thought you’d end up in such a state one day! Truly unexpected."

While speaking.

He turned his head again to look at Xie Ruotong, "Xie Ruotong, you are indeed quite remarkable!"

Xie Ruotong had no reaction to Qin Shuyang’s "praise."

Qin Shuyang didn’t go out of his way to be disrespected.

Now, it was time to kill Xie Ruilin.

To vent all the humiliation he had suffered on this woman.

He looked at Xie Ruilin with a ferocious gaze as she writhed in excruciating pain.

"Qin Shuyang." Song Yanqing called out to Qin Shuyang again.

Qin Shuyang frowned tightly, turning towards Song Yanqing, his mouth full of sarcasm, "What now, can’t even protect yourself, yet you still want to protect Xie Ruilin?! To be honest, I really don’t understand why you like Xie Ruilin so much. Speaking from a fair and just standpoint, talent and appearance-wise, Xie Ruilin is truly no match for Xie Ruotong. How could you be so utterly devoted to Xie Ruilin?!"

Qin Shuyang thought that Song Yanqing wanted to plead for Xie Ruilin.

Therefore, he was quite contemptuous towards Song Yanqing.

"Was it you who conspired with Xie Ruilin to drug Xie Ruotong back then?" Song Yanqing asked.

Qin Shuyang sneered coldly, "It wasn’t me who drugged her, it was her who drugged Xie Ruotong and then let me take advantage of her..."

"Qin Shuyang, that’s enough, don’t say it, don’t say it!" Xie Ruilin yelled in collapse.

She didn’t want Song Yanqing to know about such a disgusting side of herself.

In Song Yanqing’s eyes, she was a demure woman, a little woman who needed love and protection.

She was not so sinister and brutal.

Even in death, she didn’t want Song Yanqing to see her true face.

"Scared that Song Yanqing will find out what kind of person you are?" Qin Shuyang raised an eyebrow.

"I’m not, I’m not!" Xie Ruilin denied frantically.

"Xie Ruotong, you’re quite clever indeed." Qin Shuyang turned his head to look at Xie Ruotong, "To use this method to let Song Yanqing see clearly what kind of person Xie Ruilin truly is? I thought you had a change of heart and wanted me to seek revenge for you."

"I don’t care what Xie Ruilin means to Song Yanqing," Xie Ruotong replied to Qin Shuyang, "I never wanted to show Song Yanqing Xie Ruilin’s true face by summoning you. That’s their business, not mine. My purpose for bringing you here is simply to have you help me torment Xie Ruilin; you have more tricks up your sleeve than I do! At most, there’s one other reason: once you’ve had your revenge on Xie Ruilin, our score is settled, and from then on we’ll go our separate ways."

"So, you really have no feelings for Song Yanqing?" Qin Shuyang asked.

"Isn’t it obvious?" Xie Ruotong gestured towards Song Yanqing’s current state.

Xie Ruotong could do this to Song Yanqing, could do this to Xie Ruilin.

There was no room left for reconciliation between them.

Qin Shuyang smirked again, "Had you treated Song Yanqing this way earlier and followed me instead, wouldn’t that be better? Even if I, Qin Shuyang, took you as a concubine, I would never mistreat you. You’re the only woman who has ever touched my heart over these many years..."

"Enough," Xie Ruotong interrupted Qin Shuyang.

Nonsense, she didn’t want to hear any more.

Qin Shuyang, with a self-mocking tone, "Indeed, now you are a Great General, and a favorite of the Princess in front of Chen King; you are living a better life than anyone else. And I... And I am no longer even a man."

"That’s why I let you have your revenge, and our account is settled," Xie Ruotong suggested he go deal with Xie Ruilin.

Qin Shuyang was suppressing the fury in his heart.

He turned to Song Yanqing, and said coldly, "Xie Ruilin is not the gentle, kind, fragile, and pitiable creature you thought she was; she has secretly harmed Xie Ruotong countless times behind your back. During the last birthday feast for your mother, it was she who sought out prostitutes to frame Xie Ruotong. Unfortunately for her, Xie Ruotong caught on early and Xie Ruilin ended up causing trouble for herself. Later on, she even drugged Xie Ruotong and sent me to violate her, yet with Gu Xingchuan’s help, Xie Ruotong narrowly escaped disaster, resulting in the way I was treated..."

The more he spoke, the angrier Qin Shuyang became.

"Song Yanqing, hurting Xie Ruotong for such a cunning and deceitful concubine is the biggest mistake you’ve ever made in your life, no less severe than your choice to follow the Chu King and suffer your current fate," Qin Shuyang said fiercely.

Song Yanqing swallowed hard.

His mouth tasted entirely of blood.

Indeed.

The biggest mistake of his life was not recognizing Xie Ruotong as his lifesaver at first glance, then indulging Xie Ruilin and causing so much harm to Xie Ruotong.

And, killing the flesh and blood between them...

Song Yanqing closed his eyes.

As if to quell his emotions.

Qin Shuyang observed Song Yanqing’s expression, "Regretting it now?"

Song Yanqing did not speak.

"Too bad, it’s too late," Qin Shuyang sneered, "Xie Ruotong has given up on you."

Song Yanqing still did not speak.

But it seemed that behind his closed eyes, blood was seeping through.

It was unclear whether they were tears.

Or just the fresh blood flowing from the wounds on his face.

"Qin Shuyang, can you waste less time?" Xie Ruotong asked Qin Shuyang.

Qin Shuyang looked back at Xie Ruotong and asked, "Have you grown this impatient with Song Yanqing?"

"Are you still seeking revenge?"

"Of course," Qin Shuyang affirmed.

His gaze finally returned to Xie Ruilin.

Xie Ruilin met Qin Shuyang’s eyes.

She was a picture of utter defeat.

In the end, every despicable and dark aspect of herself had been exposed.

Exposed before Song Yanqing.

At this moment, she felt it was the most painful and shattering moment of her life.

She had no reason left to live, nor any dignity to maintain.

Little did she know.

That what was to come was even more cruel, something she would find even more unbearable, waiting for her!
