The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 93



Three months later. On the outskirts of Yin City.

Li Yue looked at the starless sky. She welcomed the coldness of winter, letting the chill caress her cheeks as she smiled. She will miss Yin City. Or not. The calmness in her eyes slowly turned cold as she glanced at the door in the roof deck of this house.

"Miss… everything is ready." It was an older man with a goatee. He looked at the woman, an unmistakable fear flashed in his eyes. Li Yue only responded with a small nod as she walked towards the roo fdeck. Ignoring the man, Li Yue soon entered the basement of the house. She then eyed the two women bound in a chair.

"Is someone there?" Lizzy's voice shook as she tilted her head, hoping that she would hear the footsteps again. With her blindfold, Lizzy isn't so sure if someone is indeed standing near them. "Listen… I will pay you. Just let me go. I will double the payment of the one who sent you to take us. We will not tell the authorities about this. We can forget about all this."

"Lizzy stop it!" Lu Xinyi said. "Don't negotiate with filthy people like this!"

"Xinyi…." Lizzy lowered her head.

"You!" This time it was Lu Xinyi. "Let us go now! I want you to let us go, or our parents will definitely kill you! Do you even know who we are? My father works with someone from the government, you idiot! They will definitely find us before you could even touch us!" A sinister smile rose on Lu Xinyi's face. Even though she was blindfolded, she still lifted her head and confidently looked at the space in front of her. "I know you are there! If you let us go now… we can forget about this. We will not pursue this matter, and we will forgive you! If you touch even a small strand of our hair… I promise you… you will die in the most painful death there is! We will burn you to death!"

"Xinyi…" Lizzy said in a meek voice. "I think threatening them is not good. I am sure they already know who we are. If…"

"Shut up! Stop talking to me!" Lu Xinyi said. "This is your fault! They took you first! Meaning… you are the target! They only took me because I was with you! You— You… What did you do this time? Huh?"

"Xinyi…"

"Listen!" Lu Xinyi spoke again. "Since you wanted my cousin, you can have her! Just let me go! I will not tell anyone about this! You can do whatever you want with her; just don't include me in this business!"

"Xinyi!" Lizzy's lips shook She felt anger rage through her. "How dare you!?"

"I would really dare! I am someone that people love and respect. I have countless fans. How about you? Lizzy? All you do is drink all day! All you have are enemies! Hey! Hey! The man out there! This cousin of mine is an evil incarnate! If you want to get rid of her, you can do whatever you want! Just let me go!"

"Lu Xinyi! How sure are you that you are not the target, huh? You are an actress, and you just offended Li Weiwei! How sure are you that you are not really the target?"

"You— "

"You two are really funny." The two immediately stopped talking when they heard the cold voice of a woman to their left. "Blaming each other at this time." The two are already bound in a chair, blindfolded in a dark and cold environment like this. Li Yue sneered. If she gave these two knives, she was sure that they wouldn't hesitate to kill each other.

"You— Who are you?" Lizzy frowned. She was certain that she hadn't heard this voice before. "I don't remember knowing someone like you. Do you hear this Lu Xinyi? This woman is not my enemy! That could only mean that she is your enemy!"

"Shut up, you dumb bitch!"

"If she's not your enemy, then it should be your father's family! You— "

"Tsk. Tsk. How stupid." Li Yue said, clicking her tongue at the pair of clowns in front of her. Yes, these two are indeed clowns. Li Yue didn't know how she even thought that these two were the Villains when they were so dumb! How could Li Yue be that stupid? Unable to stop herself, Li Yue smacked her own forehead.

"Who are you?" Lu Xinyi asked. "If you are so brave, why don't you show us your face? Let us know your identity?"

Li Yue let out a snort in response. Truly stupid. "You don't deserve to know my face nor my name." They won't remember her anyway. "Just know that you did something to me.

"You— Did someone sent you to deal with us?" Lu Xinyi didn't stop herself from asking. She wanted to stall for more time, hoping that her father would find them soon.

"No one would find you here." Li Yue smiled. She immediately understood Lu Xinyi's motives. "You can stop hoping now."

"What did we do to you?" Lizzy asked. "If… If… it was our parents then… don't involve us in this matter! Just let us go!"

Li Yue didn't respond. Instead, she signaled one of the men to start pouring the gasoline towards Lu Xinyi and Lizzy.

"What is that?" Lizzy asked. "Is that… Is that some… hey… are you planning to burn us? Listen… we are rich. You can just ask our parents to pay. Hey! Please…. We can pay you. Our parents can definitely pay. Hey!" Panic became apparent in her voice.

"Leave." Li Yue said, ignoring Lizzy's words. After making sure that the three people that she paid already left, she immediately looked at the two. "My first mistake was letting the seed sprout. I should have killed it the first time I saw it." She said. "This will never happen again."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Xinyi asked. Her voice shook as fear laced her words. When she didn't receive an answer, she immediately panicked and said, "Just… Just let our parents pay you! We can pay you! Hey! Are you listening!? Please don't burn us. Please…"

"This time… I am completely removing the poisonous tree from this world. You two would never be able to hurt someone again." Li Yue said before she threw a burning paper towards the gasoline that poured on the floor.

Soon enough, screams and smoke filled the air. Li Yue calmly looked at the two bodies struggling on the floor. She should have done this the first time when Lizzy tried to frame her. After a few minutes, Li Yue walked out of the basement and told the men to burn the house. Then she calmly started walking towards the Yin City where she will spend her last night before asking the robot to exit this world.

Li Yue walked on the side of the streets with her hands behind her back, looking at the stores and passing cars. Soon, her eyes were glued to the large billboard with the image of the man who just received an award. A smile flashed in her eyes before she turned her head away and continued walking.
