Kneel Down, or I'll Kill You

Starry (Shen Xingkong's nickname) blinked and said, "Isn't he cute?"

Bai Ning thought to himself, Damn, he's really cute.

"Assistant Bai, you don't need to worry about me. Si Ye is upset, you should go catch up with him. I'm afraid something might happen to him."

Bai Ning was confused, feeling like these two had switched scripts.

"Why are you still standing there? Do you want to stay and watch me fight?"

Bai Ning's mouth twitched. "Um... take care of your wounds if they open up again."

"You think Si Ye will feel sorry for me if my wounds open up?"

Bai Ning's mouth twitched even more. He needed some peanuts and alcohol to deal with this.

"You should go now. Your legs are short. What if you can't catch up with our Ah Ye?"

Bai Ning almost choked!

Even though he was shorter than Si Ye, it was just by a little bit! He was still 1.82 meters tall!

In the words of the little fangirls in the office, everything below his neck was his legs!

Why were they saying his legs were short???

Soul-searching.

"Miss Shen, please rest well!" After holding his breath for a long time, he finally managed to say this and turned to leave.

Starry smiled, her eyes curving.

Bai Ning.

She remembered that in her past life, he was loyal to Huo Si Ye but died in an accident.

An accident...

Thinking about it now, maybe it wasn't an accident at all.

In this life, she would never let Bai Ning get into trouble again.

Si Ye, don't worry.

I will protect everyone you care about!

"Shen Xingkong, you bastard! I'll kill you!" Shen Xinai's furious voice echoed from outside the ward.

Xingkong smirked, a sinister smile appearing on her face.

Here they come.

Good.

Welcome to hell.

With a bang, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Shen Xinai rushed in like a lunatic, throwing herself at Xingkong with all her might.

Xingkong was prepared. The moment Shen Xinai charged at her, she held a knife to her abdomen.

Shen Xinai's pupils shrank, and she grew even angrier. "Shen Xingkong, you're asking for death!"

"If you take one more step, it'll be you who dies, Miss Shen," Xingkong sneered, holding the knife steadily.

Shen Xinai was frightened by the look on Xingkong's face. Her face turned pale. "You… you dare!"

"Try me." The sharp blade moved forward, piercing through the thin fabric of her clothes.

The cold tip of the knife touched her skin, and Shen Xinai didn't dare to move.

She looked at Shen Xingkong in horror, disbelief written all over her face.

She… she had really changed.

Back at the hotel, the way she looked at her had been so sinister and terrifying.

She thought she had seen it wrong…

How could the once meek and submissive Shen Xingkong dare to look at her like this!

But now, she was sure she hadn't been mistaken!

"Shen Xinai, if you don't want to die, kneel before me," Xingkong sneered, her gaze sharp and merciless.

"What did you say? You want me to kneel before you? Are you insane?"

Shen Xinai screamed.

"Are you a screaming chicken? So noisy!" Starry impatiently dug her ear, her face full of disgust and disdain.

"You—!" Shen Xinai trembled with anger, unable to understand why Shen Xingkong had changed so much overnight and dared to treat her like this.

And the hotel incident… where had things gone wrong?!

"Kneel down, or I'll really stab you." Starry held the knife with a steady grip, her determined and terrifying expression making Shen Xinai feel like she might actually do it.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and goosebumps covered her arms. Shen Xinai was scared, but she still tried to hold on. "I warn you, if you dare to touch me, my grandma and mother won't let you go!"

"You didn't plan to let me go either, did you?"

Last time, after the incident, the media had reported extensively about how shameless Shen Xingkong was, how ungrateful she was. People had almost thrown rotten eggs at her face.

If it weren't for Shen Xinai pulling strings behind the scenes, Starry wouldn't have believed it.

Shen Xinai's expression finally showed a hint of panic. "Our Shen family feeds and clothes you, lets you enter high society. How can you be so ungrateful?"

"Your Shen family?" Starry sneered. "Sometimes, I really wonder how you and your mother can say that with a straight face. Have you occupied someone else's nest for too long that you actually believe it yourselves?"

"You… you… what are you saying?"

"Shen family is my family, not yours."

"You're talking nonsense! The Shen family has nothing to do with you! You're just a foster daughter! Everyone knows that you were switched with me! It was my mother who pitied you and let you stay in the Shen family!" Shen Xinai's voice was full of panic.

Did she know something?!

No, impossible. She couldn't have known.

She must be making things up.

Yes, she was framing her!

Shen Xinai forced herself to calm down. "Shen Xingkong, I won't let go of the hotel incident! Don't think that just because you made Si Ye see me and Qi Heng together, he'll marry you! Keep dreaming! Si Ye and I are engaged! It's just a matter of time! This incident won't affect us at all!"

Xingkong sneered. "Do you think Huo Si Ye looks like a white knight?"

Shen Xinai clenched her fists tightly, furious. "If he loves me, he will accept it! Besides, I was framed! You framed me!"

"You're deluding yourself," Xingkong said.

Love her?

Was Huo Si Ye blind or brain-dead?

Could he really be interested in Shen Xinai, a flat-chested, brainless screaming chicken?

"Shen Xingkong!" Shen Xinai was humiliated under Xingkong's contemptuous gaze. She glared at her and threatened, "You must apologize to me! And you have to admit in front of the reporters and Si Ye that you planned everything and framed me! Otherwise, I'll kick you out of the Shen family!"

"You seem to have forgotten the knife in your lower abdomen," Xingkong reminded her kindly. "Don't think I'm joking. It would be easy for me to stab you to death right now."

The hairs on the back of Shen Xinai's neck stood up again, and she couldn't stop trembling. "You… you dare…"

"Either kneel down, or I'll stab you to death. Shen Xinai, it's up to you," Xingkong said coldly. "You have ten seconds to decide."

Kneel down to Shen Xingkong?

Shen Xinai refused, of course.

She was the real daughter of the Shen family. Why should she kneel to a foster daughter?!

But…

She looked down at the knife pressing against her stomach. It had already pierced through her clothes.

Shen Xingkong… she really would do it.

A cold sweat broke out all over Shen Xinai's body.

"You have three seconds left."

Shen Xinai wanted to strangle Shen Xingkong, but she had no choice.

With unwillingness and anger, Shen Xinai knelt down in front of the hospital bed.

Looking at Shen Xinai's cowardly appearance, Xingkong once again despised her past self for being so weak and foolish!

"Shen Xinai, now I'm going to ask you a question. Answer honestly," Xingkong said, holding the knife firmly. "Or my knife won't be polite."
