Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 298 - Now It's My Turn

Zizi slowly gasped in horror as she felt herself falling. The sight of Yunru was going farther and farther away and she tremblingly raised her hand towards him. A tear escaped her eye.

Yunru…

She shut her eyes hard, scared and afraid.

This is the end. I am gonna die. Yunru and I will never be able to spend our lives together. I hope you find a good woman-

Suddenly, she felt a strong and firm hand grab her wrist. Her eyelashes fluttered open and she saw herself hanging down the cliff with the help of Yunru's support who had tightly held her.

"Grab onto me. I will pull you up!" He screamed.

Zizi was a bit stunned.

"Don't give up, Princess! I won't let you fall! Trust me!"

She saw the resilience and determination in his gaze, his decisive expression to save her and his clenching jaw.

Zizi lifted her other arm and shakingly held onto him. Yunru slowly and steadily lifted her. It had lightly rained so he had to be extra cautious. The ground was wet and slippery. But thankfully, the cliff was not too steep. It had a fair enough gentle slope.

"Put your step there and try to lift yourself. I will pull you from here," he calmly said although his heart was beating like crazy.

Zizi fearfully looked down.

"Don't look down!" Yunru warned. "You will only get more afraid. Just look at me."

"E-En…" she was somehow hanging with his help. "Al-alright. I will only concentrate on your handsome face. I won't be scared."

"..."

Princess doesn't fail to flirt even in a life and death situation…

Two minutes later, Zizi was finally at the top and into Yunru's arms. She was trembling and shaking. She smelled his familiar scent, but she was having it hard to believe that she was finally in his embrace.

She lifted her head and stared at his beautiful irises. They were separated for a few hours only, yet they felt as if they were years.

"W-what happened to your super handsome face? You look like an old man haha…"

But Yunru was icily gazing at something else. He brushed the tip of his thumb along her slightly reddened cheek.

"...Milo did this right?"

He spoke with such an extremely low voice that even Zizi had trouble hearing it. But she distinctly felt the danger and alarm in his tone. She saw his eyes clouded with bloodthirsty darkness.

"He slapped you?"

Zizi pursed her lips. "He was very angry that I left a message for you and then you managed to foil his plans…He even cursed me and grabbed my hair."

The atmosphere turned even chillier and heavier.

"B-But it's okay! I am fine and Milo…well he must be d-dead by now…"

Yunru stared at her and noticed the wet corner of her eyes. He balled his fist with his aura emanating the killing intent.

He sneered and softly shifted her aside. "Dead? I don't think so."

Yunru walked over to the edge again and craned his neck at the side. He faintly saw a movement and someone's figure tightly clutching onto a tree branch who was desperately trying not to fall.

"What happened, Milo? I thought that you wanted to die. Why are you holding on to your life then?" He taunted.

Yunru had already seen him alive and hanging when he was trying to save Zizi.

Milo stiffened. He was trying to save himself without coming to his notice. It was the perfect chance to escape in the guise of darkness. It might have been easier if the ground was dry.

Even the fucking rain is against me!

He couldn't be so hasty or he would have slipped for real and died.

Zizi widened her eyes and came to check too. She was dumbfounded.

He is alive!

Yunru dangerously smiled. "Don't worry. I will save you. After all that shit, you are just one another pathetic creature who doesn't want to die."

They heard the sound of sirens and several police cars stopped. Chief Xu Hui, Bai Guiren and Sun Zihao along with other officers quickly stepped out.

They saw Zizi and sighed in relief. "You are safe. That's great."

Zizi nodded.

They looked at Yunru. "What about Milo?"

He sneered and pointed his finger towards him. Everybody saw the state in which he was hanging off the branch.

"S-save me please!"

Yunru chuckled in disgust.

Chief Xu Hui yelled at the officers. "Make arrangements to go down and bring him up! Be careful!"

Five minutes later, Milo was pushed to the ground, handcuffed.

Chief Xu Hui said, "Get ready to serve your punishment, Milo. You tried to kill innocent people tonight. You can only look at a death sentence."

"You…-"

Milo didn't understand when but a strong punch came flying at his face and his head sharply tilted back. His neck bone almost cracked because of the sudden movement.

"Ahhh!!"

Blood spewed from his nostrils and immense pain shot in his face. His nose turned crooked that clearly said his bone was broken.

Chief Xu Hui widened his eyes. "What are you doing, Soo Yunru?"

Zizi was just as startled.

Yunru was in no mood to listen to anybody. Milo was having difficulty coming back to his senses when his fist landed on his cheek again. Milo felt as if his jaw was split and crushed and blood dribbled down his mouth too. He couldn't shout anymore.

Sun Zihao stopped Chief Xu Hui. He cleared his throat. "Let it be, Chief. You saw Han Zizi's face, right?"

Of course, he had noticed her red cheek and could have imagined what would have happened.

He sighed.

Bai Guiren said, "Well if it was my girlfriend then I would have killed him and given the excuse of an encounter," he shrugged.

"..."

"He is one bastard anyway. Before he dies, let him take out all our grudges. I am actually feeling great after how he tried to just blow up the whole building. Let him suffer."

Yunru jabbed his abdomen with the most painful kick, making him tremble hard and puke more blood.

He grabbed his shirt and his chilling gaze sent a sharp shudder across Milo's spine.

He whispered in a cold voice, "Now get ready for my revenge, you bastard."
