Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 367 - Yes, I Did It!

Lei Biya hurriedly stepped out of her car, twitching and sweating ever since she got Caihong's call. Her heart was pounding in fear and anxiety.

She stepped into an abandoned warehouse that was shut down for a long time. She felt nauseous of the damp and rusty smell and covered her nose.

It was quite dark inside. She cautiously walked further, taking uneasy breaths. She looked around but didn't see Caihong anywhere.

"I am here. Where are you?"

Silence.

It irked and scared her at the same time. She clenched her teeth. "I am here! Didn't you hear me? Come forward! How dare you accuse me of plotting murder?"

She gasped in shock as she was suddenly pushed from behind. She stumbled and fell on her butt harshly. She whimpered in pain.

"W-who?" She raised her head and froze upon seeing Caihong standing in front of her.

But the reason the color drained from her face as if she saw a ghost was because Caihong was pointing a gun at her.

"Y-you…are you crazy!? Why are you pointing a gun at me? It's dangerous!"

"I know. That's why I am pointing it at you," Caihong quietly said, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "After how a mother tried to kill her own son so cruelly, I shouldn't be just pointing it at you but shoot you right through your heart."

Lei Biya froze.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I tried to kill Xiaosi? You have lost your mind! How can you accuse me like this?"

"Because you are the only one who has such deep hatred for him. I thought it had some limits. But you proved me wrong. You went as far as killing my husband," her grip tightened on the gun, and her body trembled in rage. "Xiaosi...is really unlucky that he was born to you. I curse the fact that you are his mother. Just your sight alone makes me puke."

"Enough! Stay within your limits. Don't forget that you are talking to an elder and without any evidence!"

Caihong's expression sent a chill down her spine. "I don't need it. And even if I do, you will give it to me yourself. Once I shoot you, your mouth will start speaking itself."

Lei Biya widened her eyes. "You...you have turned into a maniac!"

She chuckled. "Not more than you who has put her own son to deathbed. You have crossed all your limits, Mrs. Lei. Tell me. Why did you do this? Wasn't Xiaosi staying away from your life? Then why did you try to kill him!?" Caihong's loud and angry voice furiously reverberated in the warehouse.

"I didn't do anything! I wasn't there when his accident happened! How would I know?" Her nostrils flared. "I am going to sue you for this!"

Caihong smiled. "Really? Go ahead. But before that, answer my question. How did you know that it was an accident? I never said it was. He could have been poisoned or stabbed or shot or pushed down from somewhere. But you said accident. Why?"

She stiffened.

"Of course, because you set that driver to crash into his car. You don't need to be present at the scene to get your hands dirty."

Lei Biya stammered. "I-It was just a figure of speech! Don't take it too seriously-"

*Bang!*

Suddenly a shot just narrowly missed past her ear and hit the wall behind her. Lei Biya turned as white as a sheet. It was loud and so close that she felt her heart in her throat.

"Next time, I won't miss it. Trust me, Mrs. Lei. I am running out of patience. I had enough of your selfishness, but today…" tears streamed down her cheeks. "Today, once again, you put him into danger. Last time, I warned you. But not now. Xiaosi will live. And you will die."

Mrs. Lei scrambled onto her feet, but Caihong easily pushed her again. "Let me go, you maniac! You are accusing me out of nowhere and trying to kill me!"

"Then confess that you are the murderer. If I feel generous, I might just leave you alive but not before shooting through your knee."

"You-you won't do it! You will go to jail. I am sure you don't want to leave your daughter alone-"

She fired another round that scared the shit out of Lei Biya.

"Don't talk about my daughter with your shitty mouth. Besides, I am not afraid of jail. I have enough power to live freely even if I kill you," she sinisterly smiled.

She was horrified. "You…"

"Maybe I should fire a shot at your left knee. Like a trailer," Caihong narrowed her eyes.

She paled.

Caihong lowered her gun to aim at her left knee. Her finger was on the trigger, pressing it harder every second.

"Stop!" Lei Biya burst into tears, trying to shield herself from the gun. "Yes! I did it! I hired that man to kill Xiaosi!"

Caihong froze.

"I had no choice! It's all because of him that my children now know the truth! They know everything! They know that I am his mother. They know that I left him in the orphanage! They know everything! Because Xiaosi planned it."

Silence.

"Everything happened when Shing and Shu visited your damn house!" She flared in a fury. "They saw an old picture of us together, and they investigated. Do you think I am a fool!? Why would Xiaosi keep a picture like that? After so many years? Don't say now that it's because he still loved me. I never did. I even left him alone. Why would he love me back still? It's because he wanted them to see it and realize the truth!"

She broke down. "Everything is over...I tried so hard to hide it. Now they will leave me... Just like that man did…" she whispered. "Everything is over…"

"Biya…"

A voice faintly whispered from a distance. Lei Biya widened her eyes and looked up. Her blood ran cold as she saw her husband and children standing in front of her.

"Deming....?"
