These two words were like lightning that struck her.
Xiang Wanâs face was now colorless like paper. She even looked a little worse than Ye Lun.
Her eyes were fixed on Ye Lun like hooks. The mist beneath her eyes betrayed her current emotion which was captured accurately by Ye Lun.
It was clear that she didnât want to talk about it.
She didnât even want to recall that incident.
Ye Lun smiled, even though it was tedious for him.
Yes, he was smiling, always smiling.
Although he was about to die, he didnât forget to laugh and mock at anotherâs misfortune.
This was Ye Lun, a man who could make others hate him.
âWhat do you know?â Xiang Wan said each and every word clearly, unable to conceal her troubled feelings.
Ye Lunâs eyes were half-opened and his lips twitched. His gaze slowly moved to her mobile phone.
He had a lot of difficulty with his every action but every word could make her feel even more pain.
âAre you sure, you want to continue, recording the video?â
The hand that she was holding her mobile phone with was not quite steady. The blood in her seemed to be boiling. Her body temperature increased and she felt her cheeks burning, all the way to her earsâŠ
How did he know about this?
Xiang Wan couldnât think of how Ye Lun managed to know⊠so much.
Whether it was Cui Ming, Bai Muchuan, Xie Wanwan, as well as herself, and many more.
All of their personal matters and secrets were transparent before Ye Lun.
Xiang Wan couldnât help but recall the scene when she met Ye Lun for the first time at the âPalaceâ.
After countless times of playing the exact same scene.
She had thought about this scene numerous times.
Ye Lunâs devilish smile with an evil aura had been interpreted by her with all kinds of possibilities.
But this time, she had a new finding. His smile at that time actually contained the mocking of her past when she dropped out of college.
âYe Lun, did I know you back then? No, did you know me back then?â
Ye Lun shook his head slightly.
âThen how did you⊠why?â
âI⊠know everything about you.â Ye Lunâs words started to sound muffled. However, he was ecstatic, seeing Xiang Wan in such a poor mood. Although he couldnât say a complete sentence in one go, his tone actually sounded joyful.
â⊠Xiang Wan, you, couldnât hold a candle⊠to Xie Wanwan.â
âBoth of you⊠are called⊠Wanwan, with the same pronunciation. But sheâs⊠far better!â
It seemed that he said that deliberately to make Xiang Wan feel inferior.
He even used a disdainful and derogatory tone.
âThat⊠flash drive. It contained what you⊠were looking for⊠back then. If youâre still interested, you can⊠watch it together⊠with Bai MuchuanâŠâ
Xiang Wan looked at him motionlessly and emotionlessly.
âDo you think I donât dare to?â
Ye Lun blinked weakly. âYou may⊠or may not. When a person is unfortunate, he will be daring enough. But when a person gains happiness⊠then, he wouldnât be daring. He would be⊠reluctant to let go.â
A while later, she finally spoke in a calm tone, âBack then, I didnât have the guts like Xie Wanwan. But now, I have it.â
âHurhur! HurhurhurâŠâ
Ye Lun laughed at her response.
He had been laughing like this the whole time.
He seemed to be mocking the whole world but himself.
He had sustained serious injuries and he could no longer give a full smile. That made his smile seem especially creepy when he was obviously overjoyed yet there was only a half-smile on his face.
Each and every word sounded chilling to the bones.
â⊠You can face what happened, in your younger days. But can Bai Muchuan, face it? Your dad killed his mom. His mom also brought death to your dad⊠hur, hurhurhurâŠâ
Xiang Wanâs breathing became shorter and hastier.
Her head seemed to be in chaos.
She needed time to digest all of these.
âYou can give it⊠a tryâŠâ Ye Lun seemed to have reached the end of his life. âWhat if, what if, thereâs really true love, in this world? Hurhur⊠hurhurhurhurâŠâ
Xiang Wan interrupted him.
âYouâre dying, donât you know? Why didnât you try to keep some strength so you can live longer?â
Ye Lunâs gaze seemed distracted.
He looked at the ceiling for quite a while before his gaze returned to Xiang Wan.
Like a dying old man, he opened his mouth but no voice came out. When he tried to talk, he had difficulty moving his tongue.
âTeacher Xiang, whatâs⊠Qin Shuâs ending?â
He called her Teacher Xiang.
And he asked her about Qin Shuâs ending one more time.
He asked about it before already.
Xiang Wan sneered. âWhat is your obsession with the character? Do you really think of yourself as Qin Shu?â
Ye Lun continued to ask, âHow did⊠Qin Shu die? I forgot.â
âHe was shot to death by the police.â
Xiang Wan replied the same answer to him.
It felt like regret as well as relief.
He didnât speak for a long time. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was filled with sadness and reluctance.
âHe died well. But I⊠why am I killed, by a woman?â
What was the difference between being killed by the police and killed by a woman?
Xiang Wan could see his disappointment.
She could also tell that he was comparing himself to a character that exists only in the fictional world.
Xiang Wan: âQin Shu lived till the last chapter of the novel but you didnât.â
Ye Lunâs head suddenly froze, staring at Xiang Wan.
âQin Shu lived in âThe Grey Listâ till the ending. He had countless amounts of fans who adored him. You live in âMurder The Dream Guyâ but you didnât make it to the ending. Contrary to Qin Shu, no one likes you and everyone wished that youâd quickly die soon. Qin Shu was the main antagonist in âThe Grey Listâ. Whereas you, youâre just a supporting character that hardly anyone will notice.â
Ye Lun felt a lump in his throat, he was agitated and was still staring at Xiang Wan.
âCanât you⊠change it?â
âI canât.â Xiang Wan met his gaze. âEveryone knows that Xiang Gongziâs novel is an adaptation of many real cases and very realistic⊠I wonât change your ending.â
Ye Lun suddenly closed his eyes.
There was no more sound, as though he had passed out, or passed away.
âHowever, I can tell you your ending beforehand.â
Ye Lunâs eyes opened again.
Miraculously, his eyes were seemingly sparkling.
Xiang Wan let out another sneer.
She was all geared up to return the mockery and satire that Ye Lun had imposed on her earlier, with a tinge of vengeance.
âAfter your death, in order to maintain social stability and not cause panic amongst the public, the police chose not to disclose your crimes. All these perfect crimes that you have committed, will not be exposed. The public wouldnât know that you have done so many things that could shake the world. All they would know is the death of a famous celebrity.â
