I … never thought of killing him…”
Anna covered her face with both her hands. The sound came out of her fingers, which turned vague. “But I, I had to do that … He shouldn’t have threatened Efim … since he escaped, why did he still come back?”
These things needed to be spoken out.
They had been buried in her heart, which made it hard for her to breathe at this moment.
“Fortunately, I’m the person that he wanted to see…” Anna put down her hands and took a deep breath, saying as tears dropped, “Yes, I pulled the trigger, but I never thought to kill him. He may be seriously injured, but at least he can lie in the sickbed safely… Efim will never forgive anyone who threatened him. Urey, should not have come back.”
Luo Qiu looked at Anna, speaking emotionlessly, “But you did shoot him, didn’t you? No matter what the reason is, since you shot him, you’ve already let Mr. Urey suffer the most sorrowful thing… Or will you tell him the fact for earning his forgiveness?”
Anna shook her head.
She took a deep breath again, “I won’t do that. He’ll be good after several days of treatment in hospital. And I won’t show up in his sight, even though he will never forgive me. Even if he lied to me, not telling me that the seller of the painting was Efim; asking me to come back to Efim. Even if I lost my life, I will not blame him.”
She sneered at herself, “But neither I nor they had expected that… we’d meet you, anyhow.”
Luo Qiu said lightly, “As customers, both Ms. Anna and Mr. Urey have excessively strong desires.”
As the club owner, Luo Qiu didn’t intend to explain to the guests… their heart was strong enough to lure a starving wolf.
When the deal had been carried on, the club owner holding limitless powers also needed to assume the obligations that came up to the customers.
“Do we?” Anna gave a wry smile.
She was very clear what her rage and resentment was like when Efim strangled her neck.
“I spent three full years and tried all the ways to get close to Efim and I did gain his trust!” Anna said in a low voice, “But how can I die before sending that demon to the hell to suffer for all his sins! I can’t die— unless I can pull him to the hell together with me!”
“I want to be alive … and see him suffer pain, uneasiness, losing all his wealth and living a life worse then death!” Anna bit her teeth, and resentment was filled in her eye, “No matter by using what kind of ways.”
“So since you met Urey, you planned to take advantage of him?” Luo Qiu asked curiously.
Anna took a deep breath and wryly smiled, “Every day, I could only fake laughter while being with Efim, who had never trusted me. I had to do something… I had to lure him to make mistakes. At the moment I encounter Urey in the gallery, I knew I got the chance.”
“I know Efim is a restless man. I told him my plan, he immediately agreed with that.” Anna lowered her head and whispered, “We knew each other since that day. God granted him incomparable talent. However, he didn’t obtain a chance matching with his talent… he had his dream, and hopes to be a real painter, and his works could get recognition by the world; he hopes to thrive.”
“But eventually I took advantage of his dream.” Anna said, “I told him that there was a chance that could satisfy his desires. He didn’t know these at first, but focus on imitating ‘The Nameless Maiden’. That’s all because I told him to do this way, so that it’d reveal his strength to a potential investor… but finally, he understood that.”
Anna shook her head, “It was not an opportunity to make his mark at all; he was just a tool for Efim to make money… He won’t really show his painting to the world. He didn’t even have chance to draw what he would like to draw. He could only draw others’ works. However, he had finished the ‘first’ work belonged to his own—‘The Nameless Maiden’.”
“I think it might be because of Miss Anna.”
Anna shoulders slightly shrugged, crying sorrowfully, “I know… I can clearly feel his affection for me … but I can’t, and won’t respond to him, because I reminded myself all the time, not to forget my purpose! I have to let Efim receive the punishment he should get. Only in this way, it might be enough to console those who have been killed by Efim and suffered misfortune.”
“Las Padskaya Mine Lot?” Luo Qiu suddenly asked.
“You know?” Anna suddenly raised her head.
Boss Luo answered, “Not really, but I met a man coming out of this mine lot.”
“Did you?”
Anna didn’t make a detail inquiry on that man’s identity, but just heaved a sigh heavily, “Las Padskaya Mine Lot… it’s where I grew up; but it’s been controlled. The capital keeps oppressing us; and when it came to Efim, he did it more seriously. In my childhood, there was a hero-like figure that showed up in the mine lot. Originally I thought that our life would become better, but later on…”
Anna said painfully, “The hero was gone, and he took away my home and family members.”
But she also said spitefully, “But I’ll never let go the demon-like Efim!!! I’ll try to end his domination!”
She added, “No matter what I will sacrifice or how seriously Urey hates me… no matter how seriously he hates me…”
Both of her eyes flickered glistening teardrops.
Seeing this, Luo Qiu turned around, and backed on to Anna, saying slowly, “It’s good for Miss Anna to have such consciousness. And it’s good to speak it out too. Isn’t it?”
She couldn’t speak out the enmity that had been hiding in her heart over 10 years.
It was too heavy.
Anna lost control and cried out loud.
Nobody else could see her frail face… but her low mutters which were heard clearly, gradually died down.
…
…
Luo Qiu didn’t turn back until she stopped crying and regained calmness.
He reached out to receive the handkerchief from You Ye; then he walked to Anna and passed it to her, asking softly, “Are you feeling better?”
Anna was stunned.
She subconsciously looked at the handkerchief. Suddenly felt like to continue crying… but she also felt easiness that never sensed before.
She took a deep breath and looked at the police car that was about to leave… Since Brubov was involved in this issue, a bad end would be the only consequence for Efim.
“Can I still make a deal?”
“Of course, you can do it at any time.” Luo Qiu smiled and nodded.
“I think…”
Boom—!!
Suddenly, a huge noise sounded, which was so shocking!
As they turned about, an SUV was seen crashing into the police vehicle with Efim in it! At this moment, a man with a black mask rushed out of the SUV.
He held an automatic rifle and began to shoot randomly!
It made several policemen go hide behind their vehicles! At the same time, Efim climbed out of the crushed police car! He swore loud as his hands were still handcuffed.
But the man shot the area in front of Efim’s feet; then he pointed at that SUV.
Efim face turned pale, daring not to say anything except hurrying to get on the SUV, while the man with black mask kept shooting while retreating, backing up into the car, and then leaving leisurely
