The Birth of a Villainess

Hearing Chu Chu's hoarse and weak voice, Lin Xiaofei felt the blood in her body going colder as she stared at the blood on the floor.

With shaky hands, she reached for Chu Chu but stopped just before they could make contact.

"I apologize for letting you see this sight." Chu chu started the conversation with an apology, digging another thorn Lin Xiaofei's heart.

Tears were threatening to come out of Lin Xiaofei's eyes as she continued to stare at Chu Chu. An indescribable feeling was starting to roll its way inside her and she felt nauseous. Not because of the blood that was within her sight but because of the fact that Yu Fangzhu had set his sights on her friend.

She lowered her head and didn't speak for a few seconds.

Chu Chu who was sitting in front of her while still on the floor wanted to say something. Her thumb was still hurting from having its nail pulled out by that fat man who was with Yu Fangzhu.

At first, she was terrified that he would defile her and kill her but instead of doing those vile things, Yi Fangzhu ordered him to pull out one of her nails. She didn't scream.

No, she wasn't allowed to scream.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-birth-of-a-villainess_16977433905988805/a-hero-of-justice_48332594479167360 for visiting.

If she did. The people around them would hear it and might come to the room to see what was going on however, she was positive that even after someone came to see what was going on, they wouldn't really do anything as long as Yu Fangzhu was inside.

She could still remember when Yu Fangzhu tried to pull two of her toenails before and she screamed bloody hell for help but even after someone came, no one really walked forward to help her.

With one word from Yu Fangzhu telling that she was a sinful woman who committed a sin, everyone accepted it as a reality and didn't question him.

That was how powerful the influence of the Fourth Prince, Yu Fangzhu.

Everything he does, no matter how gruesome it was, they would treat it as a solution for evil. They will treat him as the hero of justice as always.

Everyone was brainwashed by his kind personality and his tenacity to achieve justice.

"Young Master…" Su Tang's soft and uncertain voice sounded from behind Lin Xiaofei.

When her young miss dashed towards the room after the fourth prince left, Su Tang didn't know why but she was nervous. Her senses were telling her that something bad was going on but she didn't expect it to be this bad.

Pulling out a clean handkerchief, Su Tang kneeled beside the beautiful woman that had her fingernail pulled out.

She was about to wrap it around the bleeding finger when her young miss suddenly gripped her wrist.

"Young master?" Came Su Tang's voice.

"Give that to me." Lin Xiaofei said, her voice unusually calm that it evokes the two other people who were inside the room feel the roots of their hairs standing.

Su Tang gulped. "O-of course."

The maid who was disguised as a young male servant handed the handkerchief to Lin Xiaofei. She then saw her young miss wounding the handkerchief around the bleeding finger gently.

At first, Chu Chu flinched at the sudden touch by Lin Xiaofei and gasped. It hurts a lot more than she thought. She tried to keep her mind away from the pain when Yu Fangzhu was around as she refused to let him have the satisfaction of knowing that he could break her with pain. However, with him gone, she could finally utter a sound of pain.

And surprisingly, it was in front of an acquaintance who was close to a stranger to her.

"Where is Shen Mo?" Lin Xiaofei finally spoke after she was done wrapping the handkerchief around her friend's thumb.

"The guard?" Chu Chu asked as she didn't know who was this Shen Mo and when she saw that Lin Xiaofei slowly nodded, she soon said, "I sent him to do something errands for me."

Lin Xiaofei paused slightly. She knew her friend too well for her to know that what she had just said was utter nonsense and lie. Chu Chu must have sent Shen Mo away using an errand as an excuse before Yu Fangzhu could get closer to her so that he wouldn't see this scene and come out, jeopardizing their plans.

Such a quick decision making and meticulous one at that. If Shen Mo were to witness something like this, he would surely fight against Yu Fangzhu and take Chu Chu to safety. However, that would risk their plans from being found out and also, Yu Fangzhu was no ordinary guy. He at least had some ability to repel Shen Mo and might even kill him.

Clenching her jaws, Lin Xiaofei decided to go along Chu Chu's lies. If her friend chose to keep things from her then she wouldn't force it out from her mouth.

Lin Xiaofei suddenly fell silent once again. She was looking at the finger wrapped with a handkerchief and saw the blood seeping through it.

With her head still lowered, she asked, "Why was that man here? What did he come here for?"

Chu Chu looked at her hand before looking at the beautiful woman disguised in men's clothing in front of her, "I wasn't sure myself. He had been such a blaggard who uses justice to choke other people's life. Unfortunately, like other people, my friend's life ended in his hands too. He was supposed to not appear in front of me again. Well, not too soon. But…"

Lin Xiaofei didn't say anything and waited for her to continue.

"He came to me to ask about something." Chu Chu creased her eyebrows and finally said, "I don't even understand what he was talking about but he asked me if I was involved with the explosion of Tian Li cave."

Lin Xiaofei's eyes moved. Her heart shook at the guilt and other emotions that battled against each other inside her.

Until one of them won.

And that was her fury.
