Chapter 913: I Admit Defeat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“He agreed to help you out...”

“Huo Chen and I share the same family name,” Huo Yunting explained casually. Then, his eyes narrowed dangerously and his voice turned icy.

“May I remind you that the woman you murdered was not only my grandma but also Huo Chen’s mother. Did you really think he would sit this one out?”

Xiang Jinxi froze on the spot.

He had killed so many people and had forgotten about old Mrs Huo.

As expected, no action is without consequences.

Had he not killed old Mrs Huo, Huo Chen would not have interfered.

In fact, even Huo Yunting would have left him alone.

His original intention was to kill only Huo Zhenning.

How did things spiral out of control?

After the first mistake was made, there was no turning back.

“I see.”

In the next few seconds, Xiang Jinxi seemed to have realized a lot of things, but he also felt as though he understood nothing at all.

When he spoke again, he sounded calm.

“I admit defeat. Do what you want with me.”

Huo Yunting watched him quietly and narrowed his eyes. His expression was unreadable.

For a long while, he did not speak.

Standing beside him, Huo Li figured that Xiang Jinxi was technically a brother by blood to Huo Yunting. That may have hindered the man from doing what was necessary.

Hence, Huo Li raised his pistol and aimed it straight at Xiang Jinxi’s heart.

“Brother Ting, let me give you a hand.”

He pulled the trigger!

Bang! The bullet flew toward Xiang Jinxi!

Xiang Jinxi made no move to avoid it.

Just as the bullet was about to hit him, Qiu Jin, who had stayed out of their verbal exchange, pushed him aside and took the bullet on her shoulder!

Blood gushed out of her wound, but she did not feel the pain. She growled desperately, “Xiang Jinxi, run!”

After that, she pulled out a gun from her waist and started shooting at Huo Yunting and Huo Li.

“F*cker!”

Huo Li’s eyes turned cold as he avoided her shots and shifted his aim toward Qiu Jin.

Qiu Jin did not take cover as she was trying to buy time for Xiang Jinxi.

Bang!

Suddenly, Huo Li fired a shot and hit Qiu Jin in the stomach.

She moved her empty hand over to press on the wound. Despite feeling pain all over her body, she willed herself to stay on her feet.

Qiu Jin continued to shoot at Huo Yunting and Huo Li.

Abruptly, a hoarse voice spoke, “Enough!”

Qiu Jin stopped moving but she lost momentum and felt her legs give way. Just as she was about to hit the ground, someone caught her just in time.

“Jinxi...” She coughed. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

“Why didn’t you leave?”

Xiang Jinxi half-kneeled on the floor and carried her in his arms. He was overwhelmed with emotion, so much that he did not know exactly what he was feeling.

He did not reply to Qiu Jin’s question, but instead made an honest confession, “Qiu Jin, the truth is, I have been using you all along.”

“...”

Qiu Jin opened her mouth and struggled to form words.

“I never loved you.”

Xiang Jinxi added as he watched her face gradually becoming pale.

He wiped away all emotions on his face and continued cruelly, “I never harboured any feelings for you since the very beginning.”
