Death

Sitting tied to a chair in an extremely embarrassed state was a slender young man. Even his current situation couldn't hide his attractiveness and this seemed to aggravate the person standing over him.

"Zhu Mingze, do you think you're all that? Your family is ruined. All because of you. Let me tell you, it's all your fault that your family ended up like this. If you hadn't listened to me none of this would have happened. Even if I encouraged you, at the end of the day the one who made the decision was you. So stop looking at me like that"

Even when being totally betrayed and back stabbed there's still one thing I don't understand.

"Sun Zhiyu why did you do this? I genuinely considered you my best friend and I don't think I did anything to harm you. Why do you hold so much hatred towards me?"

The other man seemed to not want to hear his words at all.

"Considered me your best friend? Was I not just a dog who obediently followed after the Zhu family's young master?"

"I never asked you to follow me. You wanted benefits from my family. None of us have ever wronged you in any way "

"Zhu Mingze, let me tell you something. I was jealous of you. Why should one person be born with everything? A wealthy and loving family while another was born with nothing. I really hated you and your self righteous face. You have no idea what the world is actually like because you have been protected by your family. Why do get to have all that without doing anything? But I would not be able to survive in city A without you, So I had to follow you and pick up the scraps you threw to me. And when someone approached me to help destroy you, you have no idea how excited I was. I immediately agreed. And you're way too easy to fool. Causing you to have a rift with your family was the first step. But I didn't expect that even after everything they would continue to support you behind the scenes. So when he told me the next step of the plan was to destroy the Zhu family, I couldn't be happier. Zhu Mingze you might not know this but you're a dead man anyways so it's no problem telling you. You were not supposed to be born. For as long as when the Zhu family ended up in your father's hands, he had already begun to plot. Your father was arranged to be with a woman who had strange diseases but by some twist of luck he ended up with your step mum. Hahaha you never could have imagined that they met that far back could you? After your father searched for her to no avail, he decided to leave it be and got married to your mother two years later. This matter should have ended there but then your sister got sick and your step mum had to contact you father to treat her. The only condition was that she would have to leave her daughter. So your step mum decisively left and your sister was raised by your mom until you were born two years later. He didn't expect that your mom could still consieve and even give birth so he decided to fast forward the plan and directly had Butler Li poison your mom. That was supposed to be a breaking point for your father but she probably knew she didn't have much time left to live so she contacted your step mom and left you in her care. After her death, your step mom was hired as a wet nurse and treated you even better than her own daughter. Your father and her probably worked around the misunderstandings and decided to get married. Tsk it's quite sad how she was utterly sincere towards you but a few words was enough to make you doubt her. That is simply treating a gentleman with a villains heart"

Zhu Mingze looked at his best friend of over ten years and couldn't even work up any hatered. I regret it. I never should have doubted my family. My eyes began to get heavier. The poison was spreading through my veins . I looked at him with pity. His heart was corroded with hate. He noticed my pity and that seemed to throw him over the edge

"Zhu Mingze who do you think you are? Do you think you're still the proud young master you used to be? Hahah. Zhu Mingze is it so easy to die? Listen to me. You will die with regret. You remember your big sister right? You remember how you hate her because I told you of the 'schemes of the mother and daughter '? You sister didn't even know your step mum was her biological mother . "

He shoved a phone in my face and showed me a picture of my house engulfed in flames

"Look at your beautiful house. It's all going to burn down to nothing. As for your company, he already swallowed it. Too bad the old man died of a heart attack earlier. As for your sister, she wasn't home when the fire happened but that made it even more fun. All we had to do was tell her you were here and she came running over. She's quite loyal. It's a shame. Even knowing it was a trap she still came. Because there was a 1% chance it was real. But it wasn't.

He switched to another video and shoved it in my face.

"Your beloved sister. You are really the bane of her existence. If she hadn't come, she might still have been able to make a comeback but she's totally ruined now"

Looking at the video, I saw the particularly familiar and at the same time unfamiliar figure of my sister. I had never seen her like this. She had always been so very meticulous. I had never seen her fall this low. And it was all because of me. When I saw those people putting their hands on her something in me snapped .

"Sun Zhiyu, I hate you. I hate you with every fibre of my being"

He just looked at me and laughed. "So you're finally getting a reaction. Ah sibling love is do touching. Too bad you're both dead anyways. Any last words or wishes? Don't bother. I won't grant them . Goodbye, Zhu Mingze.

It was the sound of the gun, but it didn't go off as he expected.

*Click* *click* *click*

"What's going on? How could this happen?"

"Sun Zhiyu, you seem to have forgotten something very important. The Zhu family was a military family before we branched out to business." I stand up slowly from the chair and shake off the ropes from my hand. I smile softly as he backed away.

"I didn't have any qualms about dieing because I thought all you wanted was me. I didn't know you would go as far as to touch my family as well."

He kept backing up until he got to a wall

"Zhu Mingze if anything happens to me you won't make it out of here alive"

"I had no thoughts of making it out alive. I don't mind rotting in hell. But now, I'm bringing you with me."

I snatched the gun from his hand and put in the bullets I'd previously unloaded. I would have wanted to slowly torture him but unfortunately time didn't allow it. I shot five bullets at him. His legs , his eyes and then his forehead.

They were chaotic footsteps coming from outside but I didn't pay any attention and aimed the gun at my head and pulled the trigger. Tsk damn. Missed. I'd hit my frontal lobe .Oh well it's just a few more minutes of consciousness. The poison was finishing me off anyways. I could barely see anything as blood clouded my vision but there was a faint outline of shiny black shoes. They moved towards me slowly and the owner of those shoes bent down and took me into his arms and he seemed to be faintly shaking. Ehhhh? He smelled like spruce trees and oranges. Not a bad way to die. If there is an afterlife , I want to pay back everyone I hurt. I'll be with you soon mom. I could vaguely feel something warm falling on my neck. Huh tears . Too bad I couldn't live long enough to see what he looked lik-.
