Chapter 581 - Evidence for her innocence.
Li Xue remained seated on her seat as she leisurely stared at the man slumping on the floor. Her lips curled into a sadistic curl while the devilish glint got all evident in her eyes like she was enjoying seeing the man die a suffocating death in her hands.
"You are talking so much about your future, Mr Han. But I doubt that you have got one tomorrow. What do you think?" She asked, disinterestedly giving a blow to her fingernails before standing up and slowly taking her steps towards the man who was now dearly gripping his neck like the tighter he gets to grip his breath the longer he would be able to live.
Sigh! Doesn\'t man always overestimate themselves? When they already know that one\'s death is not in their control then why waste time holding the strings of hope?
The old man\'s face turned all pale as his aged eyes slowly and slowly turned all lifeless. His fingers were wrapped around his neck, trying his best to hold in the breaths that were slowly and seemingly feeling like getting exhausted. "Li Xue, what did you do to me? You witch …"
"Oops, did you not just refer to me as a beauty? How can you now call me witch, Mr Han? I am truly hurt. Anyway, I won\'t mind your last words. If you want to call me witch in your last breaths then do it, I won\'t blame you" Li Xue interrupted his words halfway, bending down on her knees near him.
Her face was all calm and chilled as if in front of her an old man was just not counting his last breaths. Seeing her like that Han Guoli was all horrified. It was dilemmatic to say what was horrifying him the most. Was it the feeling of seeing his own death coming near? Or was it knowing that his one of the greatest l.u.s.tful d.e.s.i.r.es of life has brought him to this suffering?
"What did you do to me, Li Xue? Just tell me straight and … ah …" He tried to say in between his heavy breaths but it was simply getting too painful. Li Xue kept on smiling looking at him like that.
"Mr Han! Mr Han! Please don\'t ignore the truth like this. It will only increase the affliction in your heart until it exhausts all your remaining heartbeats. So, save it" Li Xue said, giving a mask of pitiful expression on her face while patting onto the man\'s shoulders lightly and sympathetically. "By the way, Mr Han, I almost forgot to ask you. How was the drink that you earlier drank while having my talks with Wen Sying?"
The old man\'s expressions got confused at her words but he didn\'t need to ask her the meaning behind it, since Li Xue was more than excited to reveal it herself. Wouldn\'t let the person know their arriving death triple the agonizing fear in their heart? Definitely, it would and since it would, there is no way Li Xue was going to let go of the opportunity.
Keeping her smile all intact to her expressions, she slowly explained, "I was just curious to ask the taste of it, Mr Han, after all, it has cost me so much effort to blend the bitter taste of slow poison all well with the taste of wine. It was so tough but I needed to at least do this much for you. Because the way you hold me in a special corner of your heart, in the same way, I have gotten you a special place in my hatred. And I need to do some justice to that position. I can\'t just give you the bitter taste of death".
Just the mention of the word poison was enough to make the man lose all his hopes in life and believe in his death. "You gave me the poison?"
"Mhm – Hmm!" Li Xue affirmed, "Didn\'t I just explain the same thing? Did you forget the dialect of Chiboa just after leaving the country for a few years? Sigh, Mr Han, that\'s not a good way to remember your learned knowledge. You need to keep practising so that it doesn\'t become rusty. Now, see you have even disappointed your dead parents"
Han Guoli, no longer heard the words coming to his ears. The only thing that made sense in his brain was the fact that he was given the slow poison mixed in the drink that was now slowly and slowly showing the effect on his system. He was already feeling suffocation in his heart while his limbs were also getting paralyzed.
His eyes dilated in horror as he desperately looked at Li Xue, grasping hard onto his c.h.e.s.t. "Ms … Ms Li Xue, please take me to the hospital. I am not feeling well right now. I feel like if not visited right now, I might die here. Come one, Ms Li Xue, please help me call the ambulance. I don\'t want to die yet". The old man Han said, knowing well about the necessity of the time, changing his tone all 180 degrees towards Li Xue.
But he was left dumbfounded when in reply to his words, he received mocking laughter. He paused as he saw the woman, slowly getting back to her heightened posture, before moving her hands to undo half of her jacket\'s zip. "Hospital, Mr Han? I thought you would be more than happy sleeping with me here. That\'s why I have come all prepared today. See around, I have already kept all the arrangements ready for you. Scented candles along with dim lights. Come, let\'s have fun first, Mr Han. Then if your life is left for afterwards, we can visit your doctor too". She said slowly walking her way to light the candles but just when was about to cross from the front of the man, her legs were grabbed desperately.
"Ms Li Xue, please. D - Don\'t be so cold and heartless. I was impudent to you before but believe me, if I live today, I would never dare to repeat that ever again. Just save my life first, I don\'t want to die". The old man begged and cried but Li Xue was not a kind woman to bat her eyes to those begging. Seeing her lack of interest in his words the man desperately promised, "Save me and I will do anything you ask me. But please save me!"
Li Xue\'s eyes paused for a moment. This was the deal she was waiting for. Earlier what Wen Sying said to her manager was not completely wrong. Every person has got a bending point where no matter what happens they would give in. And one such inevitable point is one\'s life. No matter what happens, not everyone would have the guts to risk it.
"Fine, then confess your deeds and help me prove myself innocent. And I will think about your request". She spoke with the utmost nonchalance.
"Okay, I will do as you say but first help me reach the hospital. I might not have time. Believe me, I have enough evidence to prove you innocent from a 5 years back scandal but …"
"Evidence?" Suddenly Li Xue was intrigued. She has just planned to get a confession from the man but seeing the man mention the evidence, she doesn\'t understand what it could be.
