5. Scene of b.l.o.o.d.y Slaughter~

Liang Ze’s gaze was stuck on the young man in front of him, eyes unblinking. The young man silently lied on his side atop of the sofa, both eyes shut, seemingly taking a short rest. His arms were still bound behind his back. As soon as he heard the door open, his eyes opened. A cold light flashed through his beautiful phoenix eyes. It was obvious that he hadn’t fallen completely asleep…. When he realized that it was Liang Ze who had come, his expression softened and the cold dissipated from his eyes.

Liang Ze walked over with large strides and looked at Xie He, agitated. The acc.u.mulated concern burst out of his mouth. “Are you okay?”

Xie He looked at him with a complicated gaze. His voice was raspy. “You shouldn’t have come.”

There was suppressed pain in Liang Ze’s eyes. He finally got to see his beloved. He couldn’t stop himself from pressing Xie He tightly against his chest. He stressed each word as he uttered them. “I already know what happened. I believe that you aren’t a traitor. I will definitely figure out a way to save you!”

Xie He’s gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly away. He was silent for a while before saying, “You believe me?”

There was no hesitation in Liang Ze’s eyes when he bore into Xie He’s. He spoke with earnestness, “I trust you.”

There was a slight crack in Xie He’s cold mask. For a second, he looked moved. He cast his gaze down and quietly told Liang Ze, “Thank you.”

I’m sorry…you shouldn’t trust me because I don’t love you. I’m just using you…this has been the case in the past and now in the present.

If you knew everything, you’d hate me.

When Liang Ze heard this, he thought that Xie He was confirming his conjecture. Xie He had indeed been wrongly accused. He was further infuriated with Liang Chengshan’s behaviour. He said, “I’ll ask Father to give you back to me.”

Xie He stopped him at once. In a harsh voice, he said, “You can’t!”

Liang Ze asked, “Why?”

Xie He gazed into his eyes, expression solemn as he slowly said, “He already knows that there had been something between us. He also knows that I was slandered. Yet he’s intent on treating me as a traitor. He’s also stopped you from seeing me. Have you never thought about why he was doing this?”

Liang Ze paused. He was also an intelligent person. He immediately understood what Xie He was getting at. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of this, he had just thought that there was no reason for it…. It couldn’t be that Liang Chengshan had imprisoned Xie He because he doubted Liang Ze? Did he actually want to strike him down?

Xie He sighed softly, a downcast expression in his eyes. “We were too hasty…. I really wanted to help you but instead, I incurred Liang Chengshan’s disfavour and suspicion. If he knew our real relations.h.i.+p, he may use it as an excuse to attack you. If you impulsively go to him and ask for me, it’ll only make his dislike for you grow. The best course of action now is for you to refrain from meddling.”

When Liang Ze considered this angle, the things he didn’t understand before now made sense. He had always thought that he had been careful enough. But who was Liang Chengshan? He was so suspicious and ruthless…. He had even been unhappy when Liang Ze had sent Xie He to him. Moreover, Liang Ze’s influence and development had been very quick lately. Xie He may have been implicated because of him!

Liang Ze felt even guiltier. He should never have let Xie He go over to his father’s side to begin with!

A sliver of helplessness and reluctance could be seen flas.h.i.+ng through Xie He’s eyes. He closed them and then spoke to Liang Ze in a soft voice. “So you don’t have to concern yourself with me. Liang Chengshan won’t let me go…. It’s just a pity that I can no longer help you.”

He paused. Suddenly, the corner of his lips rose, bringing a smile to his face. There was a hard to read look of affection in his eyes. “Don’t forget that I love you.”

Liang Ze stared at Xie He’s face, took in the faint love in his eyes…. No, how could he not concern himself with Xie He? His beloved had risked his life to help him. Now, he was in trouble. Was he supposed to abandon the other in an act of self preservation? Could he even call himself a man if he did that?!

Liang Ze grabbed Xie He’s wrist and said in a fierce tone, “I don’t need your help. I just need you!”

Xie He looked emotional but he still shook his head, resolute. He said, “You should leave. Liang Chengshan will be back soon. He’ll think that you really do have other motives if he finds you secretly meeting with me.”

Liang Ze didn’t let go. It had been so hard just to see Xie He this once, how could he leave just like that?

Xie He made a helpless expression and persuaded him again. “Go.”

Liang Ze also gazed into his eyes. But the look in his eyes gradually turned firm. Today, no matter what, he would not leave! Even if he risked being suspected by Liang Chengshan, he would take Xie He with him! When he recalled what he had seen in Liang Chengshan’s home that day and thought of how Xie He was being toyed with and tormented by Liang Chengshan, the fire raged in his chest and made him hurt so much he wished for death. He could not allow these days to continue!

Liang Ze reached out to cup Xie He’s face, deep love swirling in his eyes. “In any case, he already suspects that you had been planted by me. What’s the point in continuing this charade? Don’t worry…he’s still my father after all. Even if he dislikes me, he won’t do anything to me. At most, I’ll restrain myself in the future a bit. He probably only means to warn me, that’s all.”

Xie He knew that it hadn’t been easy for Liang Ze to get to where he was today. And yet, the other was willing to risk incurring Liang Chengshan’s spurn for his sake. His eyes stung slightly. He cast his gaze away, uncomfortable, as if he didn’t want Liang Ze to see him show such emotion.

Affection churned inside Liang Ze’s chest. He finally understood that even if he wanted something, he shouldn’t let the person he loved take risks on his behalf. If anything were to happen to Xie He, he would never be able to forgive himself.

He peered at Xie He’s profile. The sharp, cold contours of his face, the graceful outline of his lips, his shuddering eyelashes…he had missed Xie He so much….

Liang Ze caressed Xie He’s face and kissed the lips he had yearned for for so long. He had missed the taste of his cold lips&#k2026;. Xie He seemed to be moved and did not stop him. He even welcomed Liang Ze’s kiss, their tongues intertwining.

The two of them kissed pa.s.sionately, as if they wanted to meld into one. At this moment, it was like nothing could stop them.

Xie He was kissed until he was out of breath. Suddenly, he heard the door open and looked up. As a result, he witnessed Liang Chengshan walking in. At once, his pupils constricted and he stumbled back, fear in his eyes.

Liang Ze caught sight of Xie He’s sudden fearful expression and his mind blanked. But very quickly, he seemed to realize what had happened. He turned around and saw Liang Chengshan standing behind them.

Liang Chengshan was watching them coldly, anger filling his dark, black eyes.

He had only left for a moment but Liang Ze was kissing Xie He! Ordinary friends? As if! They were getting bolder and bolder. They even dared to try and trick him!

Liang Chengshan held Liang Ze’s gaze and spoke in a frosty voice. “Who let you in here?”

Liang Ze felt pressured under Liang Chengshan’s might. His face was stretched taut. But when he thought of Xie He, who stood behind him, as well as the fear in his eyes just then, he thought that the other must have suffered a lot under Liang Chengshan’s hand. Therefore, he did not withdraw. He raised his head and clearly articulated, “Father, I want to ask you to give Yang Ling back to me.”

When Liang Chengshan heard this, his anger only grew. He had already told Liang Ze that Yang Ling was a traitor! And yet, he still wanted to recklessly ask for this traitor back. He wouldn’t even know how he died when he died! In a chilly tone, he replied, “Do you not know what he’s done?”

Liang Ze did not try to skirt around the topic. “I know, but I believe that he did not betray you. He is innocent…. If you really don’t like him, please give him back to me.”

Liang Chengshan looked disappointed. His son was truly obsessed with Yang Ling. It seems that he had been too indulgent with his son in the past. He stared at Liang Ze for a while and then suddenly spoke in a flat tone. “If you must have him, it’s not like I can’t give him to you.”

Liang Ze’s eyes lit up.

Liang Chengshan walked over to Xie He and pulled out a gun. He flicked the safety off and pressed it against Xie He’s head in a quick movement!

Liang Ze’s expression changed drastically. “What are you doing?!”

Liang Chengshan had a bland smile on his lips. His gaze was intense but his tone was gentle. “Since you’re so hung up on him, I can give you his corpse.”

With the cold lip of the gun against his head, Xie He pursed his lips tightly, not moving. He glanced at Liang Ze, eyes full of powerlessness and sorrow. He then slowly shut his eyes, as if patiently waiting for death.

Liang Ze clenched his hands tightly, his voice trembling. “No, don’t kill him.”

Liang Chengshan raised a brow. “Oh? Didn’t you want him?”

Liang Ze’s heart felt like it was bleeding. He obviously didn’t want Xie He to stay with his father, but how could he watch him die…? A look of forbearance and humiliation gradually appeared in his eyes. He pried his lips open and spat out, “No, he’s yours. Please forget what I had just said.”

Liang Chengshan gave him an apathetic look and asked again, “Are you certain? This is your only chance. Even if you’re my son, I will not tolerate you going back on your word.”

Liang Ze’s eyes reddened and he slowly shook his head. “I don’t want him anymore.”

“Good.” Liang Chengshan’s gaze drilled into Liang Ze. “Remember your words. And don’t forget the reason you have all you own now. Never forget the respect and reverence you have for your father, understand?”

Liang Ze grit his teeth and spat out, “I understand.”

What respect and reverence…? He was no different from Liang Chengshan’s subordinates in the older man’s eyes. When he was in a good mood, he’d be willing to be a little more generous with Liang Ze. When he was unhappy, he would rob Liang Ze of all he had and even wanted the other to act grateful.

Liang Chengshan was nothing but a ruthless dictator. No good ending would await anyone who was disobedient. It was the same for him, even though he was his son.

And now, the other was even overtly stealing his lover.

Liang Chengshan cast an indifferent glance in Liang Ze’s direction and said, “You can leave now.”

Liang Ze didn’t make a sound. He gave Xie He a very quick look. Liang Chengshan’s gun was still pressed against Xie He’s head so Liang Ze didn’t dare tarry. He turned and made a quick exit.

When Xie He heard the door close, he slowly opened his eyes, sadness flas.h.i.+ng through them.

Although it was only for a second, Liang Chengshan still caught sight of it. When Liang Chengshan recalled the scene he had just witnessed…thought of how his ambitious son was willing to reveal their relations.h.i.+p for Xie He’s sake and ask himself for the young man, the fury and jealousy intertwined inside his chest.

It had been very long since anything had been able to make him this angry.

Liang Chengshan wrapped an arm around Xie He’s waist, pulling Xie He into his arms. At the same time, the gun moved. It now pressed Xie He’s jaw from below, forcing him to look up. He sneered. “Are you disappointed that I didn’t give you to him?”

Xie He forced a smile. “Why would I be disappointed? You’re the one I like….”

Liang Chengshan’s gaze was icy and his tone was dangerous. “Is that so? I remember that I’ve told you before that if I found you seducing other people…I would kill you.”

Xie He’s expression turned rigid. He could sense that Liang Chengshan might actually kill him.

Liang Chengshan threw Xie He onto the sofa and tore his pants off. He pressed down onto him from behind, the icy mouth of the gun sliding downwards as he spoke. “You’re skilled, to make Liang Ze so obsessed with you.”

Xie He’s body was taut. The cold sensation made his body tremble slightly. The threat of death hovered over his head. Although Liang Chengshan had tormented him before, he had never felt his killing intent as clearly as he did now.

Xie He’s face was pressed against the sofa. He let out a low, docile voice. “I’m not familiar with him. I also don’t know why he wants me so much. I’ve only ever liked you. It’s always been my dream to work for you.”

Liang Chengshan’s tone raised. “Oh?”

Xie He spoke in a wronged tone, “I’m telling the tru—oh—”

Halfway through his sentence, he felt pain, like his body was being torn in half. His face paled and he sucked in a cold breath. He then chuckled with his raspy voice. “I only like you. I won’t leave with Liang Ze. He’s just confused. You don’t have to bother with him—”

Liang Chengshan’s gaze only grew colder. If you really don’t like him, then why are you thinking about him at a time like this? Why do you want me to not bother with him?

You tell me you like me but there’s another man in your heart. You pretend to be compliant for the sake of protecting another man.

Even if that man was his son, he still could not tolerate it….

…………………

When Liang Chengshan stopped, he took the half-conscious Xie He into his arms. In the end, he couldn’t steel his heart.

【Ding, the target Liang Chengshan’s Favourability Value +3. The current Favourability Value is 75.】

Liang Chengshan looked down at the person in his arms. Xie He’s eyes were only opened just a slit and there were tears clinging to his eyelashes. The corner of his lips were slightly broken and his body was littered in purple marks. He had indeed been a bit violent just now.

Liang Chengshan knew that he had lost control. Although he knew that Xie He and Liang Ze had had something between them, he didn’t think that Liang Ze would be so hung up on Xie He. Even more, he hadn’t expected for Xie He to actually like Liang Ze…. Every day, he heard Xie He tell him that he liked him. But he knew it was all fake. There was no sincerity in it. No matter how good he acted, it was still fake….

But even if Xie He had never said he liked Liang Ze, Liang Chengshan could tell that he truly did love him. For the sake of protecting Liang Ze, he didn’t care how Liang Chengshan treated him. From the beginning, he had come to Liang Chengshan’s side for Liang Ze’s sake.

Sometimes, saying ‘I like you’ didn’t make it true. Likewise, even if the words weren’t spoken, it didn’t necessarily mean that the feelings weren’t there.

Liang Chengshan pinched Xie He’s chin, kissing him gently. You’re already by my side and yet you want to like someone else…that won’t do….

The actions of you two are only serving to provoke me.

It seems that I’ve been too lenient with the both of you before this, to the point where you actually dare to play such a trick on me. A cold light flitted through Liang Chengshan’s eyes.

……………………………

【444：Host dada~ The sun’s up~】

【Xie He：Ah, yet another beautiful day. Smile.JPG】

【444：(⊙v⊙) Mn! But what were you doing yesterday Host dada? Why did you provoke Liang Chengshan on purpose?】

【Xie He：Even you could tell, Baby, hehe.】

【444：……】Uh huh, he’s felt like he’s gotten a bit better. _(:зゝ∠)_

【Xie He：It’s really simple. If I didn’t do this, how else will I cause a rift to form between father and son? With how tightly Uncle Liang watches me, it’s hard for me to find a chance to do anything. The plot won’t be able to proceed if this continues. Moreover, I can gain Favourability points by making them think they have a rival in love. Men, ah, if you don’t make trouble, they’ll think that you’re too easy.】

【444：(⊙o⊙) Oh.】

【Xie He：With Uncle Liang’s suspicious nature, even if he didn’t used to doubt Liang Ze, he’s definitely displeased with him now. Even if he’s his son, Liang Ze had concealed the truth from Liang Chengshan and sent his lover to the latter’s side. Furthermore, this lover of his had also betrayed him. Liang Chengshan can’t help but overthink things. He will definitely want to beat Liang Ze up. Meanwhile, Liang Ze will be thinking, “Not only did you take my lover from me, you’re even oppressing me. You don’t take me seriously, do you?” The two of them will develop grudges towards each other…. You know, love is truly an annoying little hussy. Once you become rivals in love with someone, forget about brothers, even a father and son will fall out with each other. ? 】

【444：……】

Xie He opened his eyes and discovered that he was in Liang Chengshan’s arms. He s.h.i.+fted, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He noticed that Liang Chengshan was aroused early this morning.

Xie He gave Liang Chengshan a lazy smile. He looked like a cat that had yet to fully wake up. When he retracted his claws, he didn’t seem the least bit dangerous. He was beautiful and captivating. Liang Chengshan narrowed his eyes and entered him.

…………………………………

Xie He leaned against Liang Chengshan’s chest. His alluring eyes were hazy. Liang Chengshan pinched his chin. “You seem to really like me doing these things to you….”

The corners of Xie He’s eyes were slightly red. He looked as if Liang Chengshan had caught on to how he really felt. There was a watery light to his phoenix eyes and he looked embarra.s.sed.

Liang Chengshan laughed. “Liang Ze is so h.e.l.l-bent on a s.l.u.t like you. If he saw how unrestrained you act beneath me, I think he’d be too embarra.s.sed to ask for you back. We should really let him see you like this. Let’s see if he still likes you and if he still wants you after that.”

Panic flickered through Xie He’s eyes. Soon after, he curled his lips into a smile and beamed at Liang Chengshan. “What are you talking about him for? You’re ruining the mood. How could he ever compare to you?”

A ridiculing light appeared in Liang Chengshan’s eyes. “Since you’re such a charmer, I’ll let you see him once.”

Xie He’s expression finally changed. He looked at Liang Chengshan in shock.

Liang Chengshan opened the closet in the bedroom and took something out before using it on Xie He. He then helped dress Xie He.

Xie He pressed his lips in a straight line and didn’t speak. He could only look at Liang Chengshan with a wronged and denouncing gaze.

Liang Chengshan felt his heart tickle, being looked at like this. But when he recalled the scene of Xie He kissing Liang Ze yesterday, his heart cooled back down. He said in a cool voice, “Not used to it? Did Liang Ze not play with you like this?”

Xie He’s voice was quiet, carrying a tiny nervous quiver. “You’re still angry.”

Liang Chengshan chuckled. This little s.l.u.t was seducing his son while pretending to be pitiful in front of him. He wasn’t an idiot like Liang Ze.

Liang Chengshan didn’t pay Xie He any attention. He grabbed his own clothes and coat and dressed himself with graceful movements. He then turned his head and said to Xie He, “Let’s go.”

Xie He could only struggle to climb to his feet. His face was pale as he slowly followed after Liang Chengshan.

Liang Chengshan brought Xie He to the largest casino under his name. This casino used to be managed by Henry, but had been handed over to Liang Ze after Henry’s death.

Xie He sat next to Liang Chengshan. The thing in him made him really uncomfortable. He leaned against Liang Chengshan’s shoulder coquettishly. Seeing that the other wasn’t angry, he came in even closer and grumbled, “I don’t like these things. I only like you.”

Liang Chengshan smiled slightly, tipping the other’s chin upwards. He teased, “I don’t have time to satisfy you. Isn’t it good to use something else to satisfy you? It seems to me that your body really likes it.”

Xie He’s eyelashes trembled. The teary light in his eyes made him even more lovely and enchanting. He looked very wronged. However, the lingering looks and glances between them made it look like they were having a little lover’s spat.

Xie He turned his head away, as if a little angry.

At an angle Liang Chengshan could not see, everything disappeared from his eyes. All that was left was an ice-cold, bone-deep hatred.

This man had not only murdered his parents, destroyed his entire life, but was also now toying with him and humiliating him. Sooner or later, he would kill the older man himself! He would pay any price to kill him!

At this moment, a knock came from outside. Liang Ze’s voice came through. “May I come in?”

The author has something to say:

You guys really seem to like this world. But why is it that when I write strong MC x strong ML, I feel cold. _(:зゝ∠)_

Eve: Not gonna lie, it’s very exciting. Hehe.

sere: can i just say that pretty much every arc has a chapter t.i.tled scene of b.l.o.o.d.y slaughter
