THE FAKE HEIRESS AND HER FIVE VILLAINOUS BROTHERS

Chapter 53

In the murder chamber of the underground parking garage, Cheng Cheng was nearing his last breath. He had participated in the murder of Yuan Luoyi and now had to pay the price for it.

Yuan Ao wanted to inflict extreme suffering on him in his final moments.

But...

His little sister was a normal person - she would be scared.

He didn't want to fully reveal his dark side in front of her.

Yuan Ao looked toward Yuan Luoyi. She appeared as an 11-year-old, standing in the corner, her thin body trembling slightly. The previous Yuan Ao had already frightened her.

However, her large eyes gazed at Yuan Ao without retreat. She had chosen to accept Yuan Ao's dark side.

No matter how terrifying Yuan Ao became, how insane his mind, how much blood clung to him, Yuan Luoyi knew that he was her brother.

He had cared for her as an infant. He would often smile warmly. He would never harm his little sister.

Yuan Ao approached Yuan Luoyi, crouching down to meet her at eye level, and took out a pair of headphones.

"Cheng Cheng is about to die. I need to deal with him quickly, and the process will be horrific. You wear these headphones and listen to music - they have great sound insulation."

Yuan Luoyi took the headphones and nodded.

Yuan Ao stood up. He had wanted to ruffle Yuan Luoyi's little head, but his hands were covered in blood, so he didn't.

"And you must not open your eyes until I'm finished, okay?"

Yuan Luoyi said, "Okay."

Yuan Ao picked up a bag of knives and walked toward Cheng Cheng. They were extremely sharp, and Yuan Ao handled them with ease. Each one was indispensable - they would work together to inflict ultimate suffering on Cheng Cheng.

Meanwhile, Yuan Luoyi put on the headphones, opened her music app, and closed her eyes.

The sound insulation was good. As she listened to the unknown music, the floor beneath her feet began to tremble faintly, growing more violent with each shake. Terrified, Yuan Luoyi hugged her head with her hands and crouched in the corner, curling into a ball.

Don't open your eyes.

Don't imagine it.

It will be over soon...

And then brother will be his old self again.

Yuan Luoyi didn't know how much time passed before the shaking stopped. Yuan Ao's cold hand touched her cheek and removed her headphones.

Cheng Cheng was gone. The knives were gone. Everything was calm again, as if no brutal killing had ever taken place here.

Yuan Ao had changed into a white shirt, the top button fastened. Not a trace of blood remained – he looked clean and tidy, just like before.

He took Yuan Luoyi's small hand and gazed at her intently. His dark eyes were still filled with sadness, but there was a glimmer of light at last.

Yuan Ao said, "I used to fantasize about you still being alive. I even prayed to the heavens for your return. Now my wish has come true. I won't let anyone hurt you again. Will you stay by my side forever?"

Yuan Luoyi didn't speak. Time travel had limits – she would eventually disappear again. Seeing her brother like this, she couldn't help but feel sad.

She was his lifeline, but how could she bring herself to tell him that this lifeline was beyond his grasp?
