After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Bent by the Villainess (GL) - Chapter 31

Everyone was waiting for night to fall, waiting for the main event to arrive.

Ever since she called Su Wenhu at Su Wenchang’s request, Xia Chuci had been allowed to move freely on the deck, but with the scar-faced man always by her side, she was powerless.

Time passed minute by minute. Xia Chuci watched the sun set, and her heart sank with it.

The sound of waves echoed in her ears, mixed with the salty sea breeze brushing her face. Suddenly, footsteps came from behind. Xia Chuci turned around and was instantly stunned.

She saw Su Yiming being pushed forward by a burly man. Her hands were tied behind her back. Although she looked disheveled, her face was calm, without the slightest panic.

Xia Chuci quickly ran over, wanting to ask what was going on, but before she could open her mouth, Su Wenchang signaled the scar-faced man to tie her up too.

Xia Chuci ignored the struggle and asked Su Yiming, “Why are you tied up too?”

Su Yiming didn’t explain much. Seeing Xia Chuci alive and well, she breathed a big sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re okay. Don’t be afraid, no matter what, I’ll be with you.”

It was clear that Su Yiming was tied up voluntarily. With her skills, capturing her would not have been an easy task.

Xia Chuci was frustrated: This female protagonist has the protagonist’s halo protecting her, she won’t die. Why are you, a big villain, coming to join the fun!

At this moment, if she hadn’t been tied up so tightly, she really wanted to grab the other person’s shoulders and shake them vigorously, yelling: Wake up! Saving the beauty is not something a big villain should do!

Xia Chuci was not grateful and angrily said, “Nonsense! Is this something to play with! You just delivered another hostage to them for nothing, are you stupid?”

Su Yiming showed a doting and indulgent smile, but in Xia Chuci’s eyes, it was just a silly grin.

Su Wenchang signaled his subordinates to hang both of them on the railing outside the ship, temporarily fixed by another rope for each of them. Once the rope broke, they would instantly fall into the sea.

Xia Chuci looked down at the choppy sea below, her legs trembled, and her heart raced. Although she knew she wouldn’t die, the subconscious fear that arose when in danger was beyond her control.

Su Wenchang looked at the dark distance. Suddenly, a light spot appeared, getting closer and closer. He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, “You finally came.”

Su Wenhu slowly walked onto the deck from the small yacht, placed the briefcase on the ground, and said, “What you want is all here. Can you let them go now?”

The scar-faced man stepped forward, opened the box, checked it, and nodded at Su Wenchang.

Su Wenchang looked at Su Wenhu mockingly and sneered, “Big brother, you wouldn’t be so naive as to think I would let you go so easily, would you?”

Su Wenhu knew his character well and said bluntly, “What other conditions do you have? Just say it.”

“I don’t have any special conditions, I just want to play a small game with big brother.”

Su Wenchang pointed at Su Yiming and Xia Chuci, showing a sinister smile, and said, “I’ll count to three, you choose one, only the chosen person can live, and the one not chosen can only accept the fate of being abandoned.”

Su Wenhu looked straight at him and said, “You already have what you want, why are you still unwilling to let them go? They have no grudges with you, why are you retaliating against them?”

Su Wenchang scoffed, “You’re wrong, I’m not retaliating against them, I’m retaliating against you. The reason they encountered such misfortune is because they have you as a father.”

The usually calm and wise Su Wenhu couldn’t help but show anger at this moment, shouting at him, “Since you want to retaliate against me, then come at me! Don’t involve my family, they are innocent.”

“Family, haha, family, yes, they are all your family, what about me!” Su Wenchang’s eyes widened, looking as if he had gone mad. He shouted, “What do you treat me as, a filthy illegitimate child!”

Su Wenhu closed his mouth, frowning and staring at his irrational younger brother.

Su Wenchang continued his incoherent accusations: “I know you despise me and look down on me, but why? The words you said, why can you take them back whenever you want?”

The more Xia Chuci listened, the more familiar it sounded, as if she had heard similar words somewhere before.

She turned her head to look at Su Yiming. That’s right, Su Qirong had said the same thing to Su Yiming not long ago!!!

So both you father and daughter have messed with the other father and daughter quite badly, even the methods of deceiving people are exactly the same!

Su Yiming was confused by Xia Chuci’s resentful and disdainful look and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

“Be honest, how many people have you cheated on?”

Su Yiming: Huh???

“I broke my promise. This matter is ultimately my fault towards you. I once tried to pretend that nothing had happened and wanted to treat you as my own brother. But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t be a cordial and harmonious older brother to the biological son of the person who forced my mother to death.”

Su Wenhu sighed and continued, “Although I can’t regard you as my own brother, I believe I haven’t treated you badly all these years. You haven’t missed out on any of the property you deserve.”

“Hmph, who cares about the pittance you gave! Don’t think I don’t know, you put on a show of being a big brother in front of outsiders just to make people think you’re a good person, that you, Su Wenhu, are a tolerant and generous gentleman.”

Su Wenchang glanced around and saw the two people tied to the outside of the railing watching the show leisurely. He suddenly remembered the main business and said, “Alright, no more nonsense. I’ll count to three. If you choose, one can live. If you don’t choose, both will die.”

“I choose Yiming.”

In an instant, a flock of crows flew overhead: ……

A moment later, the burly man who drove the yacht to escort Su Wenhu onto the ship kindly reminded him, “He hasn’t started counting yet…”

Su Wenhu decisively repeated his decision: “I choose Yiming. If only one can live, then I choose to let Yiming live.”

Hearing Su Wenhu’s choice, Xia Chuci did not feel sad or upset. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief. This way, at least both of them could survive.

Survival was more important than anything. Ensuring Su Yiming’s safety was not only an indispensable condition for the transmigration mission but also Xia Chuci’s subconscious wish as a good friend.

She looked at Su Yiming, wanting to perform a touching scene of separation.

Who knew, Su Yiming showed no signs of sadness and wasn’t anxious at all. Instead, she looked at her and smiled gently.

Damn it, I’m almost dying, how can you still smile? Where were all those deep feelings before? What about the eternal friendship you promised? It was all lies!

Xia Chuci felt she could never love again. The big villain was truly a scumbag. She cheated Su Qirong, and now she’s cheating her!

“Hahaha, as expected of you, Su Wenhu. Your biological flesh and bl00d are not as important as someone useful to you.”

Su Wenchang turned his head and said to Xia Chuci, “Xia Chuci, you heard it all. Be sure to keep your eyes open in your next life and don’t choose such a cold-blooded animal as a father.”

Xia Chuci nodded and said, “If I could choose, I would rather not choose an inhuman uncle like you.”

Su Wenchang smiled coldly, “Then I wish you good luck.”

At his signal, a burly man swung his knife and cut the rope.

Xia Chuci’s body immediately lost balance, and she was about to fall.

But Su Yiming had somehow untied the rope and quickly pounced towards her. Before anyone could react, both of them were submerged by the seawater.

Suddenly, a burst of gunshots came from afar. The three burly accomplices immediately became alert. Then, a message came through the scar-faced man’s earpiece. His expression was serious, and he said, “Our command ship is surrounded by the police. The boss ordered us to evacuate immediately.”

The other two burly men reacted quickly. One ran to start the yacht, and the other grabbed the briefcase and weapons brought by Su Wenhu and also jumped onto the yacht.

The scar-faced man suddenly drew his gun and aimed it at Su Wenhu. Su Wenchang quickly ran forward, blocking Su Wenhu, and questioned, “What are you doing?”

The scar-faced man said expressionlessly, “He has seen our true faces. We can’t leave any loose ends. That’s the rule.”

Su Wenchang retorted, “Bullshit rule! Take him with us. He’s still useful.”

The scar-faced man didn’t compromise and said, “No. He must have a tracker on him. There’s no time now. Besides, the boss ordered his death.”

Su Wenchang angrily said, “Killing him is absolutely unacceptable. I’ll talk to the boss later.”

While the two were at a stalemate, the person on the yacht urged, “Stop talking nonsense, hurry up.”

“You brought this upon yourself.” As soon as the scar-faced man finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

The bullet hit Su Wenchang right between the eyebrows. Su Wenhu reacted quickly and rolled to a nearby cover. The scar-faced man fired several shots but missed. Seeing that the police were about to arrive, he didn’t care about Su Wenhu’s life or death and quickly jumped onto the yacht and sped away.

Su Wenhu stared blankly at Su Wenchang, who was lying motionless on the deck. He ignored his trembling legs and staggered over.

Su Wenchang was dead. This eyesore of a younger brother had finally disappeared completely from his world.

However, Su Wenhu did not feel the relief he expected. He couldn’t even figure out what he was feeling at that moment.

Recalling the forty years of entanglement, he seemed to have no way to refute what Su Wenchang had said. The grudges and conflicts of the previous generation were like a thorn, deeply buried in the flesh and bl00d of the two brothers. Although not fatal, they could never be truly reconciled.

He still remembered the first time he met Su Wenchang, a skinny little kid being teased by a group of naughty children and trapped in a tree. It was Su Wenhu, who was passing by, who climbed up and brought him down, solving the trouble. From then on, Su Wenchang became an inseparable little shadow behind Su Wenhu.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Su’s mother learned that Su’s father had an affair, she suffered a sudden heart attack and passed away. Before her body was even cold, Su’s father brought his mistress and illegitimate son into the house.

After this series of changes, Su Wenhu’s attitude towards Su Wenchang also changed. It started with pity and affection, then turned into disgust and hatred, and finally, contempt, ignoring him as much as possible.

He thought that he had been indifferent to this half-brother for many years, feeling neither joy nor sorrow, no matter how their relationship turned out. However, when Su Wenchang died in front of him, he was far from being as unmoved as he had imagined.

The long-suppressed emotions suddenly surged into his chest, like chronic poison, unknowingly eroding his heart. He began to doubt whether everything he had done all these years was wrong.
