What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

92

The sun was gradually setting, its twilight rays casting a golden veil over the land.

The wind blew, rustling abandoned plastic bags on the rooftop.

Huo Xiaozheng dragged Jiang Suyuan with one hand, strolling casually towards the edge.

Huo Xiaozheng pulled Jiang Suyuan's body, making him stand on the edge of the roof.

Jiang Suyuan glanced down.

At least six stories high, if he fell, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.

Jiang Suyuan tried his best to steady his voice, but a slight tremor still escaped.

"Have you considered your daughter's future in doing this? If you act, she'll forever be known as a murderer's daughter."

Huo Xiaozheng, like him, stood at the edge of the roof, gazing out at the vast fields.

The setting sun had painted half the sky red, unbelievably beautiful.

"Jiang Suyuan, only with your deaths will my daughter have a future."

These words sent chills down Jiang Suyuan's spine.

"Spare Zhi Yi," Jiang Suyuan said, calmer now. "I can write a suicide note, proving I took my own life."

He turned to look at the crazed man beside him: "You wouldn't want other children to suffer the same fate as your daughter, would you?"

Huo Xiaozheng's gaze gradually settled into silence as the sun disappeared.

"Jiang Suyuan, you've got it wrong."

"What do I care about others' lives or deaths?"

As he spoke, his fingers slowly began to loosen...

Jiang Suyuan closed his eyes in despair.

"La la la la la la la..."

A sudden burst of music rang out.

Huo Xiaozheng's brow twitched slightly.

It was Ningning's personalized ringtone.

He pulled out his phone and answered: "Ningning?"

The nearby bodyguard swiftly steadied Jiang Suyuan's body.

"Dad, where are you?"

Hearing Ningning's voice, Huo Xiaozheng's eyes suddenly reddened.

He said hoarsely, "Daddy's out. Are you hungry?"

Hearing this, Huo Guining's nose also began to tingle with emotion.

But hearing the howling wind on the other end of the phone, her unease only grew.

"I'm hungry. Can you buy me some fish porridge from Xiang Ji?"

Ningning's voice sounded a bit dry, her speech slow and somewhat pleading.

Huo Xiaozheng replied gently, "Daddy will go buy it for you now. Wait for daddy, don't fall asleep."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Xiaozheng hurriedly headed downstairs.

On the other end of the phone, hearing Huo Xiaozheng's footsteps, Huo Guining hung up with relief.

The nearby bodyguard also breathed a sigh of relief. He had been on edge ever since Huo Xiaozheng had nearly let go.

He weighed in his mind what he should do if the boss really intended to kill someone.

The bodyguard had followed Huo Xiaozheng for many years, and while they had done plenty of bad things, they had never actually broken the law.
