She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1277: Shouldering Responsibility

”Where is Sheng Ning?” Li Xia squatted down and yanked Aunt Wu’s hair. ”Speak, or I’ll gouge out your eyes first.”

”I... I don’t know!” Aunt Wu spat fiercely at Li Xia, ”Even if I die, I won’t say a word.” She was a maid in the President’s household and knew the integrity a comrade should have. She would never betray a rescue comrade.

”Hmph! Who would have thought a cooking and cleaning maid could have such backbone.” Li Xia pulled out a curved knife unique to the Southern Border from her leg and stabbed it fiercely into Aunt Wu’s thigh.

”Ahhh...” The searing pain made Aunt Wu scream, heart-wrenching. Hiding behind the door, Sheng Ning tightly covered her mouth. If it weren’t for the child in her belly, she would have rushed out long ago.

Because of the child, because of the bond, she had lost her former fierceness. She couldn’t die. What would happen to the child if she died? What about the Living Yama?

Due to hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy, she, who now often burst into tears, surprisingly didn’t shed a single tear at this moment.

Li Xia pulled out the knife and stabbed again in the same spot, ”Still not talking? If you don’t speak, the next stab will be the eyes, then the heart.”

”Captain, why bother with her? Just kill her. I don’t believe we can’t find the person. We’ll turn this place upside down if we have to and we’ll find her.”

Yoda was right, but the house was so big. Searching slowly was too time-consuming, and they didn’t have three minutes.

”Are you going to talk or not?”

”I won’t say, I won’t say...” Aunt Wu bit down firmly, ”I can’t disgrace the union comrades. I will never betray them.”

Hiding behind the door, Sheng Ning was suddenly shocked. Yes! She was a mother, a wife, but more importantly, she was a union comrade. If even an ordinary citizen like Aunt Wu could understand this, why couldn’t she?

As a comrade, how could she tarnish the Living Yama’s name? How could she stain the Su Family’s name? How could she besmirch the General Union’s reputation?

If she stayed alive by watching the enemy kill an ordinary citizen in front of her eyes, how would she be any different from scum like Shen Yu?

”I’m here, let her go.” Sheng Ning calmly pushed the door open and stepped out.

She was wearing a very cute pajama set, the one she got from Meng Ping’s store back in the day. Standing there in front of Li Xia and looking down at her squatting figure, her presence seemed to loom much larger suddenly.

Li Xia raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased with the way Sheng Ning looked at her.

Her eyes were filled with disdain, contempt, and disregard, as though she was looking at something filthy. The strangest thing was, under her gaze, even Li Xia couldn’t help but feel like she was filthy.

Seeing Sheng Ning, Yoda gleefully pressed a gun against her torso.

Sheng Ning’s whole body trembled, nearly stumbling to the ground.

”No, no...” Aunt Wu looked on desperately at everything unfolding before her. Ningning was the Su family’s treasure, and she was pregnant. If she was taken away, how could Aunt Wu face the President or the leaders?

Mr. Su’s body was barely cold, and in his dying moments, he had been thinking of his granddaughter and great-grandchild. If he knew what was happening, how heartbroken would he be?

”Retreat!” Li Xia, knowing time was tight and there was no room for waste, grabbed Sheng Ning’s hair and started dragging her out.

The pain, like her scalp being torn apart, made Sheng Ning’s face contort in agony. To lessen the pain and protect her belly from falling, she had no choice but to comply with Li Xia’s pace.

”Let go of Ningning, let go of Ningning,” Aunt Wu desperately followed them, but Yoda, already tired of the old woman, shot her without hesitation.
