The Apocalypse of the Book: So What If I'm Just a Cannon Fodder? I Can Still Have Fun

127: To be a pair in hellWu Yao looked at Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan with a ’savior’ expression and shouted.

Su Mianmian took a closer look, and when she found a bullet only about two centimeters away from Wu Yao’s chest, she showed an expression of understanding everything.

No wonder Shi Xu had sped over earlier; he must have sensed Wu Yao was in danger.

Su Mianmian glanced again at Su Lie, who was holding a knife but hesitated to strike, and then she understood everything even more clearly.

”Shi Xu, come in. Is this your masterpiece?”

”So you knew Wu Yao was in danger.”

Su Mianmian turned her head and called out towards the door.

Shi Xu entered, and seeing the scene before him, he showed no surprise at all.

Wu Yao heard what Su Mianmian said and gave Shi Xu a grateful look.

He had been wondering why the bullet hadn’t hit him and why Su Lie’s machete hadn’t fallen. It turned out it was because of Shi Xu.

”Boss Shi, thank you. I will dedicate myself to you wholeheartedly from now on, even to death.”

”If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.”

Wu Yao looked at Shi Xu with gratitude, speaking excitedly.

He still didn’t know if dying this time meant truly dying, and he didn’t want to die.

Fortunately, Shi Xu helped this time; otherwise...

Su Lie saw Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan. He was initially a little happy, but after hearing what they said, he became enraged out of embarrassment.

His children were actually on good terms with Wu Yao, and Shi Xu, his son-in-law, was actually stopping him and helping Wu Yao instead.

Su Lie looked at the three people at the door with an angry expression, as if condemning their actions.

Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan completely ignored Su Lie, not even looking at him.

”Brother, go help Wu Yao.”

”That bullet looks so dangerous.”

Su Mianmian tugged at Su Jinxuan, pleading.

Su Jinxuan nodded. Even if Su Mianmian hadn’t said anything, he would have helped Wu Yao.

He went over and, in a few swift moves, rescued Wu Yao from Su Ran and Su Yao’s grasp.

After Wu Yao returned, he flexed his wrists and looked at Su Ran and Su Yao with annoyance.

”I want to deal with these two personally later.”

”None of you try to steal my chance.”

Wu Yao looked at them angrily, but his words were directed at Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan.

The two of them had no objections and nodded.

The person they truly wanted to deal with was Su Lie.

”Shi Xu, you can release your control over Su Lie and that bullet now.”

Su Mianmian found the scene a bit comical, and she felt bad for Shi Xu constantly using his mental energy on them. She turned to Shi Xu and reminded him.

Shi Xu nodded. The moment he withdrew his ability, the bullet began to fly again.

Su Ran didn’t know what was happening; perhaps she thought the bullet wouldn’t move again. Her wrist was directly in the bullet’s path.

With a ”whoosh,” the bullet pierced into Su Ran’s arm.

She screamed in pain.

Su Mianmian looked at her helplessly. She had seen her standing in the bullet’s path earlier, but she was too lazy to remind her, as she was going to die today anyway.

She watched Su Ran jump around in pain, then turned her head away, no longer looking at her.

”How can you two be so cold-hearted?”

”She’s still your sister, after all?”

Su Yao looked at Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan, always feeling that they wanted to snatch Su Lie from them. They must have also known about Su Lie’s connection to the base and wanted a share.

How could he let them succeed?

Compared to hating Su Ran, he hated them more.

Su Yao’s moral blackmail seemed like a huge joke to Su Mianmian.

She seriously sized up Su Yao, as if looking at some amusing object.

”What you’re saying is truly hilarious. When did we ever have such younger siblings?”

”Our mother only seems to have us two children, not you.”

”Your mother, look, isn’t she lying over there?”

”If you don’t save her, she seems to be losing her breath.”

Su Jinxuan couldn’t stand anyone morally blackmailing Su Mianmian. They could morally blackmail him, but they couldn’t blackmail his sister.

Su Mianmian was his bottom line.

Su Yao heard Su Jinxuan’s words, filled with intense sarcasm, and was so angry that his face turned red.

He turned to look at Su Lie, not expecting Su Lie not only to not care about him but also to not even look at him.

Someone who had been pampered since childhood couldn’t endure such treatment. He couldn’t help but run to Su Lie’s side and started to make a scene.

”Dad, don’t take them to the base. We are your most beloved children. Don’t take these bad people.”

”It’s best to kill them now.”

Su Yao tugged at Su Lie’s clothes, shouting loudly.

Su Mianmian couldn’t help but laugh. She hadn’t expected Su Yao to misunderstand their purpose for being here.

Su Lie looked at Su Yao with a gloomy expression. If it weren’t for the paternity test just now, he would have considered his request, but with that matter, he had no lingering affection for him.

He flicked his arm, and Su Yao, unaware, was directly thrown aside by Su Lie.

Su Yao looked at Su Lie in disbelief, seemingly not expecting him to treat him this way.

”You are not my child. Why should I listen to you?”

”I haven’t completely wiped you out; that’s already being good to you.”

”Your mother deceived me so much; do you think I won’t pursue anything?”

Su Lie looked at Su Yao’s incredulous expression, smiled faintly at him, and said sarcastically.

Hearing Su Lie’s cold words, Su Yao only felt fear.

He wanted to continue walking towards Su Lie, but before he could act, Su Lie flung a knife onto the ground in front of him.

Su Yao was completely stunned by his action, standing rooted to the spot, questioning his existence.

Su Mianmian watched this farce and only felt satisfied.

It was a pity that Su Lie knew they weren’t his children, but he didn’t seem very sad.

However, it might also be because his heart only contained himself.

Su Mianmian looked at Su Lie with a disgusted expression, her eyes full of dislike for him.

”Su Jinxuan, you are my child. Are you going to help outsiders deal with me?”

”If you follow me, I can still take you to the base.”

”Now I only have you.”

When Su Lie turned to look at Su Jinxuan, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes. Originally, with Su Yao, he had felt nothing for Su Jinxuan, especially since his mother... But now he only had this son, and he couldn’t abandon him again.

Thinking of this, Su Lie couldn’t help but glare at Li Mei, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

If it weren’t for her, how would he be in such a predicament?

”Heh, do you think I care about going to any base with you?”

”Have some shame!”

”I ask you, did you kill my mother?”

Su Jinxuan crossed his arms, looking at Su Lie with an expression of ”I already know everything, you don’t need to lie to me anymore,” and spoke in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this question, a hint of guilt flashed in Su Lie’s eyes.

He never expected Su Jinxuan to know this truth. How on earth did he find out?

Even Li Mei didn’t know this truth.

Su Lie looked at Shi Xu suspiciously, wondering if Shi Xu had told them.

But how did he know, either?

Su Lie was utterly confused.

How could he admit this truth? He shook his head blankly and asked, puzzled, ”Your mother passed away from illness. How could I have killed her? She probably fell ill after giving birth to Su Mianmian, leaving behind a chronic ailment.”

After speaking, Su Lie looked at Su Mianmian with a condemning gaze.

He could do without a daughter, but he absolutely needed a son.

If Su Jinxuan severed ties with Su Mianmian, he would be very pleased.

Su Mianmian didn’t expect that even at this point, this man still dared to shirk responsibility, and even tried to shift the blame onto her. Was he underestimating her too much?

If she didn’t speak, did he think she was someone easy to bully?

Su Mianmian looked at Su Lie angrily, her tone cold: ”Su Lie, do you think we’re really asking you? We already know the truth. My brother said this to see if you still have any shred of decency or malice.”

She squatted down, watching Su Lie’s face grow increasingly ugly, and continued, ”It seems you not only don’t have any, but you’re also cunning and sly. I don’t know how my mom ever fell for you. After you go down, continue to be a pair with Li Mei; don’t go to heaven and bother my mom.”

After Su Mianmian finished speaking, she gave Su Lie a disgusted look that said, ”You are truly an evil person.”

It was the first time Shi Xu had seen Su Mianmian complain so much, and he couldn’t help but smile.

After laughing, to prevent Su Lie from becoming enraged and wanting to retaliate against Su Mianmian, Shi Xu turned his head and looked at Su Lie warily.
