To Love You Again-Chapter 805 - When Did Hell Started?
Smash!
The violent air scattered. The leaves run around. The dust did not settle for a long time.
The first ray of the sun peeked, showing some light to the old body who got smashed by Linfeng's deadly blow.
Butler Qian coughed up blood.
'Cough! Cough!" He looked at his stomach that was caved in.
His intestines were ruptured, his lungs were smashed, his ribcage was broken poking his heart. It was a miracle he would still be alive in a few seconds.
Linfeng looked down coldly at the old man who suddenly appeared and become cannon fodder. The deadly blow was called a 'deadly blow' because he had the intention to kill.
Ming Zhi Yi caught the old man who was sent flying.
The coughed up blood fell on the latter's tattered suit. f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶
Ming Zhi Yi looked down at the old butler who raise him and never betrayed him once. This foolish butler of his traded his life for him.
Yet...no emotion passed in his eyes.
Butler Qian knew well he was about to die. Thus, he could only utter.
"M-master....I-I've d-done m-my ser...vice."
Ming Zhi Yi had no expression. But he could feel the blood on his suit soaked him wet. For some reason, this blood was darker than the rest of the blood on his body. It was a very strange feeling.
"I know. You've done well."
Even in the last moment of his most loyal subordinate, Ming Zhi Yi could only give him a cold look.
Butler Qian could not even close his eyes. His breath scattered.
In his mind, he whispered,
'See you in hell, Master. Maybe I won't be able to meet my innocent family, but I can wait for you and serve you again in another hell...'
Butler Qian wondered even after death....
When the hell started to engulfed them?
Did it start on the night that Head Lu come to their mansion and wreck havoc?
....
That night, after the Head Qian visited the Lu mansion, Head Lu visited them unannounced.
No...it could not be called a visit. But rather an invasion.
The already bleak mansion who had few loyal servants left was pressed on the grounds by Head Lu's people.
Old Lu, who was the young head at the time had cold look in his eyes. In those eyes, only revenge and seeing blood could satisfy him.
Only by killing many lives could put down the anger and restlessness in the young head's heart.
Butler Qian, a young man in his late twenties, watched as Head Lu walked up to him.
Head Lu forced everyone to kneel on the ground. Even the Old head Qian and his grandson were not spared.
Head Lu's steps were heavy and loud. Those two feet stopped in front of Butler Qian. Head Lu raised his chin hardly.
Butler Qian was forced to look at the coldness of Head Lu's eyes.
"Bring this man's family at the front."
Butler Qian: !!!
A bad premonition rose in his heart.
It could not be...
"No....I was wrong! I could pay for my life!" Butler Qian struggled. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
Head Lu let go of his chin. He watched coldly as Butler Qian's wife, who was the current head maid, and his two sons who were not yet a teenager kneeled on the ground wailing.
Head Lu took the gun handed by his subordinates. He approached Butler Qian's family with heavy feet.
"Young Head Lu....it's my fault! Please don't drag my family! My two sons...my elder son is not yet ten...please...let them live...Kill me...Just me..."
Head Lu pointed the gun to his wife first.
"When you drive the car and smashed it to my wife's car and let her bleed there to die....Have you asked your conscience if you are guilty of killing an innocent woman and unborn child...?" Young Head Lu's voice trembled. His eyes turned red.
His voice turned furious.
"You are never remorseful! So your family! The wife I dearly cherished...My wife...you killed her....!" Tears welled up, reddening the rimmed of the young head's eyes.
"My daughter might have survived but she is motherless and her body is weak. Living every day would be painful for her. Every single day, I would be in constant fear and worry if my daughter is breathing well or she might suddenly leave me one day. Tell me...is that considered living?!" The gun clicked.
"And you...the murderer asking me to spare your family!"
Bang!
In his rage, Young Head Lu killed his wife.
The wailing turned louder.
Butler Qian had his eyes wide. His bloodless face was full of tears. He was continuously begging.
"No...."
The gun was pointed at his elder son.
"You want me to spare your innocent child? Too late."
Bang! Bang!
Butler Qian felt all life in his body was depleted. He must have yelled, cried, and begged. But the only thing he could see and hear was the sound of his son's body dropping to the ground and the pool of blood.
No....
Not them....
They were innocent....Why? Why them?
In the next moment, his throat was slashed. But he had no sensation left on him. He did not feel the warmth slowly leaving him. Nor the feeling of blood flowing out from him.
Before he could die, the young Head let his people treat him.
"You can't die. You have to live like me. When you commit murder, you should have thought of your wife and sons. This is your own work. Live a long and hellish life. That is your punishment."
Butler Qian thought that hell started that night.
No...the seed of hell must have started when the Madame he served asked him beggingly one day.
...
The week before the crime, the Madame who was not sound in the mind summoned him.
The Madame had deranged look on her face.
"Butler Qian, your family is very loyal to us, right? You have sworn to serve me for the rest of your life. Butler Qian, I command you...kill that slut! Kill that slut who took everything away from me! Kill her! Kill her! Only her death would make me feel at peace..."
Butler Qian supported his Madame.
"Madame...This matter is not something we can do. The Lu family will retaliate heavily on us."
"I don't care! It won't happen if you are careful enough! Many families wanted the Lu family to be gone right? We can pin it on them."
"Madame..."
"Butler Qian, you are enjoying the sweet taste of life thanks to my family, right? This is the only thing you can do for me. After this....I won't ask anything from you."
"Madame, I have sworn to serve you in my whole family. And so my sons. But this Madame..."
"Butler Qian please! Can't you see me? Look at me! I can't peacefully sleep at night. My heart is torn apart by betrayal and hatred. I...I have lived my life waiting for the two family's promise...but all of it... is gone ever since she appeared!"
Madame Qian continued to wail crazily, "I have married a disgusting man! I have born a son I hated! I have been living in hell! The woman I hated...is living her life happily and in bliss. How could I live knowing that? Just one thing....Just let me do this one thing....All my dreams are already crushed. Just let me have this one wish. Please...Butler Qian..."
Butler Qian hesitated a few more times. But as a servant, he doesn't have the power to disobey her orders. Especially when she was begging like this.
Thus, on that day he tempered the Lu Madame's car and smashed it with the truck, he unknowingly threw away his humanity. He did not know that he planted the seed of hell at that time.
Ah....
Probably hell started because of that...
Or perhaps...Hell started long ago for some people and he was just caught by it...
A pity...
He truly lived a pathetic and pitiful life.
But who would pity them?
The world would condemn them even after their death.
Perhaps it was only themselves who could have such thoughts about their pathetic life.
An image appeared in the flowing darkness.
It was his Master's desolate figure with a deranged look on his face.
That crazed look...was the same as the Madame's when she begged him.
Master...you too...we...are...
Indeed pitiful.
