When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 66.1

The temperature on the mountainside dropped lower, the sky was gloomy and heavy, and snowflakes started drifting down.

Lin Qingyan stooped down in front of Xu Xu, his cheeks thin and pale, with a warm and gentle smile. He reached out his hand to brush the snow off Xu Xu's head, then lightly held her chin..

"Little lady, open your mouth."

Xu Xu clenched her teeth tightly, and her stubborn eyes filled with tears. As she thought of Ji Bai, and their baby, her heart ached immeasurably.

At her silent and futile attempt at resistance, Lin Qingyan's eyes glinted with laughter. He was just about to force the contents of the bottle down her throat, when he heard Yao Meng, behind him, laughing, "Ha . . . Didn't you say you wanted a child, that you liked children? Once a psychopath, always a psychopath, you would even kill a pregnant woman. I rejoice that I never got pregnant. If I were pregnant, the child would also be poisoned by you . . ." As she finished speaking, her tone became distressed.

Lin Qingyan put down the medicine bottle and turned to look at her. His voice was very quiet and cold: "How would it be the same? If we had a child, how would things have come to pass this way?"

Yao Meng was in agony. She took a deep breath, and held his gaze: "Then, let her go. I beg you, let her go! We don't have any children. Take it that you have freed our child."

Lin Qingyan looked down, and made no movement. He looked as if he were in acute distress.

Yao Meng and Xu Xu both looked at him. They felt as if a knife was being twisted in their hearts, but could only cry silently. Even the surroundings were still.

After a brief moment, Lin QIngyan lifted his head. There were tears in his eyes, but his expression was calm.

"Since you like this child . . . kill her, then the child can also die together with us."

Ji Bai and Da Hu climbed at high speed, following the mountain's contours.

The thorny undergrowth amidst the tangle of trees was recklessly trampled, and the vast snowy land bore witness to their wild rush. However, the wilderness was still and quiet in all directions. With the snow swirling around them, obliterating any possible traces, the two men were unable to confirm whether the direction they were heading in had any hope of success.

As they clambered over a bare rock, Da Hu's handphone rang. He quickly answered it, and reported to Ji Bai: "Chief, the reinforcements are close by, and the helicopters have already left the city!"

Ji Bai nodded.

Da Hu took a deep breath, and could not help but ask: "Chief, why does it have to be the location of the third corpse?"

Ji Bai raised his head. He could only see the entire sky filled with swirling snowflakes, and the mountains and forest towering over them like malevolent spirits.

"Perfection." He softly uttered the word.

As Xu Xu had mentioned before, Lin Qingyan had invested a lot of emotional energy in his first two victims. The third case had been Tan Liang's doing, crudely and impetuously carried out, and the chosen victim had been ordinary, with nothing to write home about. How could Lin Qingyan endure the total disparity between the third case and the other two?

Every psychopath has his or her own inclination or prejudice. Lin Qingyan was near death, and he would definitely want to rectify this mistake.

The night sky was gloomy, and the snow fell without sound. Xu Xu was covered in snowflakes, and she looked like a white sculpture as she sat, still and silent, watching Lin Qingyan approaching her yet again.
