Chapter 692: Who is X?
“What’s it like to be paralyzed?”
Xie Xuning’s deep, seductive voice resonated in the silent and still room. His voice contained no emotion at all. It was as if Xie Xingqing was just some ordinary prisoner sleeping in front of him.
Xie Xingqing’s favorite sound used to be Xie Xuning’s voice.
She was so obsessed with his voice that she recorded him speaking on different occasions, just so she could fall asleep to his charming voice.
She used to love him so deeply…
Now, she was utterly terrified of him.
He was utterly cruel and vicious, as he used his own unique ways to slowly tear away at her heart.
She now feared him as deeply as she once loved him.
His ways of killing left no blood, yet he managed to terrify her to the core.
“Uncle, I was wrong.”
A teardrop escaped Xie Xingqing’s eye.
No one came to visit her during the first few days when she arrived here. She seemed to have been forgotten in a silent world.
Still, it wasn’t completely silent. The faint sound of her heartbeat could be heard in the background:
Ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum.
If it wasn’t for the sound of her heartbeat, she would’ve honestly begun to wonder if she was going to die…
Nobody paid any attention to her while she became incontinent. She hated the smell when it happened at first, she seemed to have gotten used to it over time.
Her desire for somebody to talk to gradually grew… but nobody paid her any attention.
It was a very dark time in her life. She couldn’t help but feel terrified when she realized that the person who put her in this position turned out to have been none other than the man she loved the most.
He had more than one trick up his sleeve.
He didn’t kill people, but he did slowly strip away at their spirits.
He used his experience to insidiously chip away her pride until all of her strengths and power had gradually disappeared.
Xie Xuening furrowed his eyebrows and asked in a solemn, deep voice, “Tell me… what does it feel like to be paralyzed?”
“It was awful.”
It wasn’t pleasant at all.
She couldn’t move her hands, legs, or even her lips.
.
She couldn’t take care of herself.
She was completely helpless; all she could do was think.
“Thanks to you, my mother-in-law is now in a vegetative state.”
Xie Xingqing shook her head violently and replied, “No! It’s not like that! I had no idea they would run Tianxin’s grandmother over like that!”
If she had known, she would have stopped them. She would have definitely asked to kill them directly.
This was all that old woman’s fault. Why didn’t she stay in Jiameng Town properly to look after Ye Tianxin? Why did she have to come to the imperial capital…?
Why did Ye Tianxin have to be his daughter?
“Xie Xingqing, I’m giving you one final chance.”
One final chance? Was he going to kill her?
“Uncle, I sincerely don’t know anything. I only just brought the mother and daughter to the party, I never intended to bump into Tianxin’s grandmother…”
Xie Xuning didn’t want to waste any more time arguing with Xie Xingqing. He only wanted to know who this “X” was.
How did Xie Xingqing find out about Linlang asking the Xie family for the favor?
“Who is X?”
Xie Xingqing fell silent for a long while before mumbling, “I don’t know, I’ve never met X. I only know that someone under that alias helped me coordinate that fake accident years ago, but I don’t know X’s true identity.”
Xie Xingqing also didn’t know who X was?
A dark realization flashed through Xie Ningxu’s eyes.
Was this possible?
“Then how did you find out that both your father and grandfather’s death was connected to the Xie Family? Did X give you this information as well?”
