Chapter 1839: This Life, I Don't Want It Anymore

~7 min read 1,338 words

Xie Wanyi knew that these two people were just putting on a double act.

He couldn't be bothered to look, nor could he be bothered to listen.

But when Xie Wanyi's gaze landed on Li Shu's legs, he spoke up: "Your legs..."

"Oh, they've been recovering quite well lately; I can walk a bit with a cane."

"You should still be careful and act within your limits."

"Indeed, at my age, one must act within one's limits."

The conversation between these two sounded very much like a kind elder chatting with a humble junior.

But in reality?

Whether it was Xie Wanyi or Li Shu, both hid sharpness in the depths of their eyes.

Xie Wanyi couldn't be bothered with more pleasantries and stated the main point: "I wonder what you came here for this time..."

"I came for you."

Xie Wanyi knew Li Shu was lying, but he didn't expose him.

The corners of his mouth hooked up, and he said: "I've made you worry."

"I am indeed very worried about you. What your Ping Ge did was truly too excessive. But he also wanted to wake you up; those Li Family members are very heartless, they aren't worth your devotion!"

"So, you used a human life to wake me up?"

"As long as you can turn back from your errors, never mind one life, I wouldn't care about ten!"

Li Shu's words were earnest.

But the mockery in the depths of Xie Wanyi's eyes grew ever thicker.

He even said: "I really didn't know I was so important in your eyes."

"Look at what you're saying; I have valued you highly since you were a child. As long as you want, I can even give Wuyou Hall to you!"

"These kinds of words... you had better not say them again in the future."

"Why?"

"Ping Ge and the West Hall Master are still here; it would never be my turn."

"How is that impossible? You are different from them."

Li Shu emphasized his tone.

And Ping Ge

lowered his eyes slightly because of this sentence.

The palms hanging at his sides also clenched.

This discovery made Xie Wanyi curl his lips.

Then he said self-deprecatingly: "I am indeed different from them, because there is an extra chip in my brain."

Li Shu fell silent after hearing this.

After a while, he said earnestly: "Actually, the reason I came to find you this time is also to talk about the chip."

Xie Wanyi looked at Li Shu, waiting for what he had to say next.

Li Shu didn't beat around the bush and opened his mouth to give a promise: "As long as you help me do one more thing, I will set you free and let the chip in your brain fall into a permanent slumber."

This transaction condition sounded very tempting.

But Xie Wanyi had already seen through Li Shu and didn't believe at all that he could keep his word.

However, Xie Wanyi didn't expose him either, but asked first: "What is the mission?"

"You also know that I have an old grudge with Jiang Baobao. For revenge, I intend to let her taste the feeling of losing a child too!"

As soon as Xie Wanyi heard this, he knew Li Shu's plan.

Immediately, he sternly refused: "I will not do anything to harm Jiang Motian!"

"I know you two are close, and I won't make things difficult for you, so I just want to scare Jiang Baobao."

"What does that mean?"

"I want to control Jiang Motian, make her fake her death, and make Jiang Baobao suffer in agony."

Li Shu's plan sounded like it would result in no casualties.

But Xie Wanyi knew that as long as he handed Jiang Motian over to Li Shu, he could turn the fake act into reality at any moment!

Thinking of the reason Li Shu hated Jiang Baobao...

Xie Wanyi spoke the truth: "The one who caused your child's death was not Jiang Baobao."

"No one knows better than I do what happened back then.

So, you don't need to persuade me; I have my own arrangements!"

The hatred in Li Shu's heart could not be dispelled by a few words from Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi knew this point.

Therefore, he didn't continue to waste his breath.

But he still insisted on his decision: "I cannot cooperate with you."

"But I can guarantee you that I will not harm Jiang Motian!"

"Sorry, I cannot believe your promise."

Seeing Xie Wanyi repeatedly defying Li Shu, Ping Ge couldn't stand it and shouted: "Do what the Old Hall Master tells you to do! Why so much nonsense? Don't forget, your little life is still held in our hands!"

"That's right, my life is still held in your hands."

Xie Wanyi first acknowledged this statement.

But in the next second, he smiled faintly and said: "Then at worst, I don't want this life anymore."

His fearlessness made Ping Ge burn with rage.

Ping Ge was still egging Li Shu on: "That brat is so unappreciative, just kill him! Without him, we can still get things done!"

"If you say one more word, get out!"

Bellowed at by Li Shu, Ping Ge did not dare to say another word.

From the roar Li Shu had just let out, it was clear that he was truly enraged.

However, when facing Xie Wanyi, Li Shu's mood was clearly much milder.

He even used a consultative tone, saying: "You still have three days to consider. If you agree, bring Jiang Motian here in three days."

As he spoke, Li Shu gave Xie Wanyi a slip of paper.

On it was not a specific address, but a simple map.

Xie Wanyi looked at it, silently searching his mind.

The result, however, was that he discovered there was no such location in his memory at all.

From this, it was evident that there was something fishy about this place!

Xie Wanyi lightly

narrowed his eyes.

Just then, one of Li Shu's subordinates ran over in a panic and whispered something to Li Shu.

The other person's words made Li Shu's expression change immediately.

But he quickly returned to normal.

He even said to Xie Wanyi very gently: "Three days from now, whether you gain a new life or completely disappear from this world... the choice is in your hands."

After finishing, Li Shu leaned on his cane and slowly left.

Ping Ge followed behind Li Shu a moment later.

And it was this one moment of delay that led him to glare viciously at Xie Wanyi.

Xie Wanyi, however, completely ignored him.

After standing in place for a while longer, Xie Wanyi returned to the hospital room.

And as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard an argument coming from inside.

Ling Yu was sitting on the bed with his arms crossed.

Hearing the door open, he immediately frowned and looked over.

Seeing that the person who entered was Xie Wanyi, he immediately issued a complaint: "Your girlfriend is so unreasonable, she actually made me write a self-criticism!"

Jiang Motian hurriedly corrected him: "It's not a self-criticism, it's a guarantee—a guarantee that you won't cooperate with Xie Wanyi in his nonsense anymore!"

"What I want to do is my own freedom, why would I need to write a guarantee!"

"I don't care how you want to be free, but when it concerns Wanyi, this guarantee is mandatory!"

"Hmph, you're too naive. Even if I wrote it, do you think it would have any effect?"

"This is a piece of evidence. If you can't do it, I won't let Wanyi hang out with you anymore."

What?

She wouldn't even let Xie Wanyi hang out with him anymore?!

Is this woman a three-year-old child? She actually said something so childish!

Ling Yu rolled his eyes, his expression of disdain very obvious.

He was still preparing to have Xie Wanyi say a few words.

But when he looked...

Xie

Wanyi was actually smiling!

This guy...
