3. A Hundred Ways to Threaten Someone (2)

Xie He was in a daze the whole ride home, as if he had yet to recover from the attack. Han Wenqian drove into the garage but he didn’t go in right away. Instead, he turned to give Xie He a look.

Xie He stared at Han Wenqian dumbly, tears still brimming in his eyes.

The corner of Han Wenqian’s lips quirked and he spat out icy words, “I’m so disappointed in you.”

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Xie He widened his eyes and his lips trembled. He looked as if his soul had escaped him. “Ge...you don’t believe me either...? I didn’t do any of that. I have no idea why that happened...right...I didn’t take any drugs, right? That report was wrong, right? Tell me it’s not real....”

Han Wenqian looked at Xie He, the cold moonlight casting dark shadows on his face. Han Wenqian looked ruthless and coldhearted. He slowly said in a clear voice, “Everything is real, which is why I’m telling you I’m disappointed in you. I always thought that you were a good child. If it weren’t for today, I would never have known that you actually messed around like this. Moreover, what makes me even more disappointed is that you’re not willing to admit to your mistakes.”

Xie He reached out to grab onto Han Wenqian’s sleeve. He had thought that Han Wenqian had come to comfort him, to give him support, to make sure he would not be afraid anymore. But Han Wenqian’s words made him fall deeper into despair. This wasn’t real...his older brother would never treat him like this.

He would never do something as terrifying as doing drugs....yet his brother didn’t believe it....

Xie He’s lips were drained of blood. “I’m telling the truth. I’m not lying. I really never did that....” At this moment, he recalled how he had met Zhou Yuebin before losing consciousness. It suddenly came to him. Xie He shouted, like he finally understood what had happened, “It’s Zhou Yuebin! He’s the one who framed me! It has to be him!”

When Han Wenqian heard this, he looked like he had run out of patience. He seemed to be fed up with Xie He’s act of deliberately stirring up trouble. With a cold voice, he said, “Don’t blame others. I’ve already warned Zhou Yuebin. He would never dare to do anything to you.”

Xie He’s eyes were filled with despair. He said, “I...but...except for him, who else would do it? I really didn’t do any of that....”

Han Wenqian said coldly, “Enough. If it wasn’t because you were my younger brother, I wouldn’t have bothered with you today, let alone bailed you out.”

Xie He shook all over. This version of Han Wenqian was very unfamiliar to him and frightening.

Why was the older brother he loved and trusted the most unwilling to believe him?

Han Wenqian slowly and cruelly tore Xie He’s hand off his sleeve. His tone was filled with apathy, “I cannot hide something like this. I will tell father about this and then send you to rehab.”

Xie He sobbed, gasping for air. There was sorrow and despair in his eyes. Even his older brother didn’t believe him! Father Han would definitely not believe him either. None of them would believe him! They would think that he was a bad person who didn’t know how to keep out of trouble. They would send him to a rehabilitation center. His life, his career—everything would be over. This scandal would circulate around his school. Everyone would think he did these horrible things. They would think that he was a corrupt person....He would lose all rights to stand on stage...no...he didn’t want this.

He didn’t believe it. This wasn’t real!

Xie He fell apart again. He pushed the door open and ran out, running along the pitch-dark path. He would not go back! He had thought that Han Wenqian had come to tell him that everything wasn’t real, that he didn’t have to worry, that he was fine.... He thought that he could return to a warm and comforting home. He told himself that everything was a nightmare, that it was over....

But it wasn’t. This nightmare had just begun.

It was pouring outside. Xie He was drenched from the rain. After a while, he had no more strength to run. He tumbled onto the ground, soaked and hungry. His knees burned with pain.... At this time, he saw a pair of black leather shoes appear before him.

Han Wenqian held a black umbrella with a straight handle. He looked at Xie He coldly, an ineffable, complicated emotion flickering through his eyes.

Why do you put on such a pitiful act...? Why don’t you look at me with a vicious gaze full of hatred? You look so stupid, like you don’t understand what’s going on. Like you really are pure and innocent.

&#k3010;Ding, the target Han Wenqian’s Blackening Value -20. The current Favourability Value is 20. The current Blackening Value is 80.&#k3011;

The rain blended together with Xie He’s tears. Xie He looked up to stare at Han Wenqian in a daze. Suddenly, hope appeared in his eyes, as if he was a drowning man that had just seen a floating log. He did his best to grab onto it. His older brother would never abandon him.... Xie He said with a trembling voice, “Ge...believe me...I really didn’t do those things.... I’m really scared. Help me, OK...I’m really scared...I don’t know what to do....”

Han Wenqian stared at him and then slowly spat out two words, “Get up.”

Xie He promptly struggled to get up. He stood there, trembling, while looking at Han Wenqian with a timid gaze.

Ridicule appeared in Han Wenqian’s eyes. Don’t you love to act? Then I’ll continue to play this game with you, to see how far you’re willing to go. In any case...I will expose your true face in the end.

If it ended as simply as this, it’d be boring. How could it compare to the suffering I endured?

The corner of Han Wenqian’s lips rose and he said in a flat tone, “I can help you conceal this information temporarily but...if there’s a next time....”

Xie He shook his head with all his might. “There won’t be. There won’t be a next time!”

Han Wenqian cast him an icy glance and said, “Let’s go home.”

Xie He watched Han Wenqian turn around. If this was any other time, he would snuggle in close to the other under that umbrella. But this time...when he thought of Han Wenqian’s cold eyes and apathetic tone...he didn’t know why but he didn’t dare go over. There was only fear in his heart. In the end, he followed after a few steps behind, allowing the rain to fall against his body.

Meanwhile, Han Wenqian never once turned his head back towards him.

Xie He followed Han Wenqian home. Fortunately, Mother and Father Han had already gone to bed. Xie He was drenched. He secretly returned to his room, not daring to disturb anyone.

【444：QAQ】

【Xie He：......】

【444：Host dada, what are we going to do now? QAQ】

【Xie He：Baby, it’s only this much and you already can’t handle it? This is just the appetizer. Hehe. 】

【444：Σ( ° △°|||)︴】

【Xie He：The reason why Zhou Yuebin ensured I’d end up with a criminal record was so that Han Wenqian could have an excuse to fall out with me. He’s just setting the stage for what’s to come. He hasn’t even gotten a taste of me yet. He definitely wouldn’t leave matters as is. He will soon come see me. Smile.JPG】

【444：Oh my god, what will we do then...? QAQ】

【Xie He：Keep a constant eye on the condition of my body. As soon as something changes, let me know. Also, help me stay awake.】

【444：Mn!】

Xie He slept well that night. However, because his body wasn’t very robust, and because he had been tossed around like that last night, he still woke up with heavy dark circles under his eyes the next morning. He looked terrible. Xie He was satisfied with this.

Although he didn’t come out of his room, Xie He did not starve himself. He had 444 exchange for delicious food.

Luckily, Zhou Yuebin didn’t make him wait long. He acted very quickly.

Xie He received a text message from Shu Yan. The contents were very simple: Lin Xin, where are you?

Xie He looked at the text and quickly called her. However, the other declined the call and then sent another text: I’m in class right now, can’t pick up.

Xie He continued to text: Where are you? What happened yesterday? When did you leave?

Shu Yan replied: Something happened at home so I left early.

Xie He sent: I have something to ask you. When do you get out of class?

Shu Yan replied: In a bit. What’s up? Let’s meet at XX restaurant to chat in an hour.

Xie He put his phone away and changed his clothes, quickly making his way out of the house. On the way, he sent Han Wenqian a text, saying: Ge, I’m going to go see Shu Yan. I was with her yesterday. She can definitely vouch for my innocence! I’ll go find out the truth of what happened! You have to believe me! I really didn’t trick you!

【444：Host dada, what are you doing? @[email protected]】

【Xie He：Baby, it wasn’t Shu Yan who sent me the text just now. It was definitely Zhou Yuebin using her phone number to lure me out. I’m just reminding my good older brother that I’m willing to throw myself into his net. He better not forget to watch such a good show. 🙂 】

【444：......】

After arriving at the restaurant, he received Shu Yan’s text. She gave him a room number.

He stood at the door to the room. Although he didn’t know why Shu Yan wanted to meet him here, his anxiety and impatience caused him not to dwell on it. He was in a hurry to find out the truth of the matter and Shu Yan was the only person involved he could speak to.

The door to the room was slightly open. Xie He pushed the door open and walked in. He discovered that this was a very high-end business suite. When he saw who was inside, surprise and anger flared in his eyes. “Zhou Yuebin! Where’s Shu Yan?”

Zhou Yuebin was sitting on the sofa and was playing cards with a few other rich kids. There were also some people drinking at the bar, as if there was a get-together going on.

Zhou Yuebin gave Xie He a lascivious look when he saw him. He was no longer as polite and courteous as he had been in the past. Right now, he looked like he was staring at prey that had gotten caught in his net. He dropped his cards and smiled at Xie He. “She couldn’t wait that long and left first. But it doesn’t matter. I know more about what you want to know than she does. I can tell you everything.”

No matter how pure he was, looking at Zhou Yuebin’s expression, he finally understood that something was wrong. He glared at the other with hatred in his eyes, his voice trembling from fury. “It was you, wasn’t it...you did it....”

Zhou Yuebin laughed. “Yes, ah. So you’re not that stupid after all.”

Everything went dark before Xie He’s eyes. He said, “You...you...I’m going to tell my brother. He won’t let you off!”

When Zhou Yuebin heard this, he laughed so hard his body rocked back and forth. The other folks also couldn’t help but laugh as well.

Xie He clenched his fists. He was a little afraid. “What are you guys laughing about?”

Zhou Yuebin gave him a wicked smile. “Go tell your brother, ah. See if he believes you or me.”

He then walked over to Xie He, a dark glint in his eyes.

Xie He instinctively perceived danger. He knew that this was another trap so he turned around, wanting to escape. However, the other men were even faster. They blocked Xie He, grabbed him by his thin wrists and pinned him on the floor!

Xie He struggled with all his might, screaming, “Let go of me!”

Zhou Yuebin laughed and spoke to the others, “Should we do him one by one or all together?”

One of the men smiled and said, “Zhou shao, he’s yours. Of course you should get to play with him first. We’ll have our turn once you’re down.”

Zhou Yuebin clapped his hands and laughed. “All right, then I won’t be polite.”

He watched as Xie He’s struggles became more fierce. Suddenly his expression changed and he went over to grab a syringe, once again stabbing it into Xie He’s arm. He said with a smile, “Don’t move. You’ll feel really damn good in a bit.”

Xie He looked at the syringe as if it was an extremely horrifying poison. His pupils constricted and he struggled with all the power he had inside of him! Those people didn’t expect that Xie He would unleash such strength and were nearly thrown off. However, they very quickly tightened their holds!

Xie He was, in the end, a weak young man. How could he fight against several adult men? Very soon, he was rendered unable to move. He watched as Zhou Yuebin injected the liquid inside of him, utter despair filling his eyes! In a hoarse voice he sobbed, “No—no—let go of me—no—ah!!!”

Zhou Yuebin sneered and threw away the syringe when he was done, watching Xie He calmly.

Very soon, Xie He could not struggle anymore. His whole body felt weak and his consciousness became fuzzy. He felt people undress him. When he thought about what was about to happen to him, dread flooded him.

He tried to move his arms instinctively, wanting to move away from these people. His pupils dilated. Just then, he could faintly make out a familiar silhouette at the door.

It looked like...his big brother....

Tears streamed down Xie He’s face non-stop. He sobbed in despair.

“Ge...is it you...? Save me....”

The author has something to say:

Fine, reality has proven to me that my angels are all big shots who have read countless novels. You all figured out my plan already. This author whose plot is spoiled in every world is lighting a cigarette with a face of one who has experienced the vicissitudes of life.

Eve: It’s even worse the third time around. *sobs*
