Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 518 - 393: What If Su Xiaomeng Died Just Like That
The door to the rooftop burst open, and suddenly several men in police uniforms rushed out!
This was truly a terribly unfortunate misunderstanding.
The police had arrived early, but they were hiding outside the door along with Dick and Qin Hui, because these people weren’t fools—they wouldn’t charge forward once they saw the situation improving!
No one expected that before Su Xiaomeng could grab Shen Dawei’s hand, Qin Hui, who was closely observing the situation from the stairwell, suddenly shouted,
"He has a knife!"
"..."
Seeing Su Xiaomeng already walked over, and just as Shen Dawei reached out to hold Su Xiaomeng’s hand, Qin Hui noticed a knife hidden under Shen Dawei’s clothes blown open by the wind!
Hearing this, the police immediately took action again, charging forward without a word!
The tall leading policeman shouted an order, and several policemen raised their guns.
This action stunned Shen Dawei directly; almost instinctively, he dragged Su Xiaomeng into his arms!
Damn it!
What’s happening?
Su Xiaomeng, eyes wide open in shock, felt no less surprised than Shen Dawei as they faced the police pointing guns at them...
"Wh-what’s going on?"
Xiaomeng cried out in panic!
She was asking both Shen Dawei and the policemen pointing guns.
Each one aimed at them like dark holes...
This was no joke!
Moreover, right now Shen Dawei was holding her tightly. If they fell backwards, they could be shattered to pieces in no time!
"He has a knife."
The leading officer simply stated, startling Su Xiaomeng. She quickly asked Shen Dawei,
"Do you have a knife?"
"What knife?" This young man, soaked in sweat from nervousness, struggled to remember before hastily recalling the Swiss knife hung from his waist!
He reached for it and unfastened it from his belt, "This one?"
"Put it down!!"
Seeing the knife in his hand, the situation’s urgency escalated dramatically!
Xiaomeng was shocked again seeing Shen Dawei pull out a knife, "Oh my god, you really have a knife!"
On a closer look...
It was just a Swiss army knife, something Xiaomeng was familiar with, seemingly quite well-crafted. Last year’s New Year, Shan Mingxu gifted Yin Shixiu a similar knife.
Odd gift.
But Shan Mingxu was always in the military, and didn’t have much else to offer. That army knife supposedly had some history and substantial value.
Yin Shixiu merely placed it on the shelf as an ornamental collectible.
Most guys have a fondness for Swiss army knives, so acquiring one could be for collection, showing off, or both.
"Why?!"
No one could better witness Shen Dawei’s terror than Su Xiaomeng at this moment; his entire body trembled!
He shouted.
Xiaomeng initially thought Shen Dawei narrow-minded and inexperienced, with no wrong assumptions at all!
Suicide was something frequently heard of, but doing it was his first time. This young man was lost seeing police mobilized, collectively wielding guns against him, his mind in chaos!
He held onto the Swiss knife, not feeling he’d done anything wrong, yet these police insisted he put it down!
He didn’t understand!
Upon hearing this, Xiaomeng’s heart tightened, realizing that compared to the intense stimuli these local police gave the boy, her earlier sarcasm truly paled in comparison.
"Calm down, calm down..."
Xiaomeng hurriedly coaxed Shen Dawei, knowing deep down his intention wasn’t malicious with the knife, perhaps merely habitual carrying.
The drawn guns were just emergent responses to specific situations!
Clear explanations could resolve it!
"How can I calm down?! Everyone bullies me! Why? I can’t carry a knife at all? They have guns, they’re great, huh?!"
Su Xiaomeng was almost driven to tears!
Indeed, they were great with guns!
But she dared not voice this, casting a brief sidelong glance at the boy, whose eyes were bloodshot.
This boy’s mental state was clearly not right; whether he ascended the clock tower to genuinely attempt suicide or merely stir attention and drama...
His psychology surely had underlying issues.
Yet earlier, Xiaomeng stubbornly believed such issues were just youthful blunders, and as she gradually approached and Shen Dawei implicitly agreed, she became more convinced of her assumption.
Unexpectedly...
Reluctantly finding a pathway to resolving this, unforeseen events urgently turned wrongly elsewhere!
Cherry watched as Shen Dawei pressed the knife against Su Xiaomeng’s neck, turning a suicide incident instantly into a threatening kidnapping!
The nature changed immediately.
"Dawei, this is not how you should act! It’s simply a misunderstanding; clear it up and things will be fine!"
"Misunderstanding? Just noticing the small knife, they treat me like a criminal! Fine, since they’re intent on criminalizing me, I might as well—"
Shen Dawei, unused to such displays, accumulated grievances originally dispersed by Su Xiaomeng’s various tactics, now given a renewed excuse by the police.
But before he finished speaking, someone entered his view...
Black coat, a light gray scarf wrapped, neatly tailored trousers, polished shoes.
Features sharp, slightly reddened by the rooftop’s biting wind.
Yin Group President—Yin Shixiu.
Shen Dawei noted Yin Shixiu emerging from amongst the police.
"Shixiu..."
Xia meng also saw him, her heart clenched.
"Is he really your husband?"
Shen Dawei asked hesitantly, still unbelieving.
Su Xiaomeng nodded,
"Yes, we’ve been married for over three years."
"..."
Shen Dawei was startled again.
"Let me go; holding the knife against my neck... he will be angry."
Su Xiaomeng said.
Shen Dawei was impulsive, emotionally unstable, furious at the police but faced with Yin Shixiu’s cold face opposite him, his heart wavered slightly, leading to Su Xiaomeng’s mild remark "he will be angry"...
Damn!
So what if he’s angry?
Acting as if his anger was terrifying!
"Ha! I have you now, why should I fear his anger?! If he truly cared about you, there’s nothing wrong in making him kneel!"
Su Xiaomeng felt close to tears, desperately explaining,
"It’s not you fearing his anger, it’s me fearing it..."
But Shen Dawei hardly paid heed to her words. This youth endlessly searching for a sense of existence, upon seeing Yin Shixiu, discovered a way to amplify his presence significantly!
"Ha-ha...Didn’t you say your husband was someone standing atop the world? Then tell me... will he comply with my demands?"
Xiaomeng, surprised, looked apprehensively at Shen Dawei,
"Classmate, you aren’t genuinely considering threatening kidnapping, are you? Have you forgotten your initial intent for suicide?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Shen Dawei, emboldened, pressed the blade against Su Xiaomeng’s neck, leaving a mark.
The rooftop wind blew fierce, darkness gradually descended, and Su Xiaomeng only felt the blade chillingly cold.
Man proposes, God disposes!
Despite claiming unwillingness to get involved in this mess, she was deeply mired in it!
"Hey! Yin, President Yin! She says you are her husband!"
Shen Dawei shouted aloud!
"Yes."
Yin Shixiu responded, brief yet powerful.
"If she dies, are you afraid?"
"Afraid."
Without hesitation, Yin Shixiu spoke truthfully.
Cherry, somehow standing beside Yin Shixiu, whispered, "The boy doesn’t harbor malicious intent; he likely isn’t truly going to harm Xiaomeng..."
"If I ask you to do three things for me, will you agree?"
"I agree."
"I haven’t said what the things are!"
"I agree."
"..."
Xiaomeng was speechless, her heart clenched again.
Cherry watched Su Xiaomeng and Shen Dawei stand at the rooftop’s edge...
Just one unsteady move from Shen Dawei, and both could fall.
If Su Xiaomeng perished then... could it count as her chance?
