Chapter 1279 You Must Die!
Qian Kun's expression grew increasingly awkward as he listened to Li Anna's words. Li Anna was right, and he couldn't bring himself to be angry.
"Now that things have come to this, I don't want to make excuses!" Qian Kun replied. Making excuses at this point would only be more hypocritical.
Li Anna laughed heartily, "Yes! You can't deny it! When you chased Fu Chen to Sifang Island and saw that he didn't like me but liked Liu Meilan, you turned your attention to Liu Meilan! At that time, I felt it was absurd. I wanted to save face and protect you, so I acted rashly and did something wrong."
"Everything spiraled out of control from that point on. I, the daughter who was pampered by my parents since childhood, was trampled on like this by you. Even though Liu Meilan had clearly rejected you, you still didn't change your mind. Since you couldn't have Liu Meilan, you messed around with those sluts, trying to take the opportunity to dump me!"
Qian Kun thought for a moment, then nodded, "I'm sorry! Back then, I was just as stubborn as you, thinking I was invincible. In reality, I was just an arrogant fool!"
Anna Li sneered, "Yes, we're both despicable and shameless, both stubborn and arrogant. It's just that you're in control, making it seem like I'm the one relentlessly pursuing you, like a victim. But that's not true. You and I are equally despicable. Even if I die soon, I won't let you go."
Qian Kun was dumbfounded and looked at Li Anna suspiciously, "Did you hire those assassins?"
Li Anna nodded, making no attempt to hide anything. Since she was going to die anyway, she figured Qian Kun would know the truth. "Yes, that's right. I hired them all. I spent almost all the money I earned on them."
“You…” Qian Kun was anxious. “Li Anna, you… I admit I’m sorry, but aren’t you also at fault? It’s not just my fault that we’ve ended up like this. If you think I’m wrong, then I’m completely wrong, is that alright? I was assassinated twice and almost died.”
Seeing that Qian Kun was no longer indifferent but rather a little flustered, Li Anna laughed, "Aren't you still alive? You're not dead, but I'm going to die, and I'm not happy about it."
Qian Kun was dumbfounded. "You...you hired more assassins? How many assassins did you hire?"
Li Anna gave a mocking laugh, "Guess! You should be glad that Liu Meilan was willing to take you in and let you work on an island with a limited range of activities, otherwise... hehe, you would have died many times over by now."
Qian Kun was nervous. If anyone else had said this, he would have suspected something was amiss, but Li Anna was dying, so why would she need to lie like this?
"Li Anna, what exactly do you want? I beg you, please let me go!" Qian Kun said hurriedly. "What other wishes do you have? Just tell me, and I'll grant them to you."
Li Anna laughed loudly, tears welling in her eyes, and shook her head. "If you had married me back then, we would have our own family now, children, my parents wouldn't be dead, and all the people I care about would still be here. But you didn't want me, you lied to me, you ruined me, and now you want to walk away unscathed? Is there such a good thing in this world? Why should I?"
Qian Kun, who had been very excited, slumped down after hearing these words, his back no longer straight. "I'm sorry, I..."
Li Anna shook her head, her smile serene. "Your apology comes too late, and the hurt you caused me is too great. I won't forgive you. Anyway, I'm about to die, so I'll take someone down with me. I need someone to keep me company on the road to the underworld. Be careful, don't get killed by the assassins. I know you're a smart person, very cautious, and don't want to die. I have plenty of patience; I'll be waiting for you on the Bridge of Helplessness. If we can't be husband and wife in this life, then let's be husband and wife in the next."
Qian Kun's arms were covered in goosebumps. "Anna, I beg you, please let me go."
Li Anna shook her head and laughed heartily, "When I knelt down and begged you, you still didn't agree, did you? I still remember the look of disgust in your eyes back then, as if I were a disgusting piece of filth. This is called karma. The cause you planted back then has borne fruit now."
Qian Kun was on the verge of collapse, but seeing the satisfaction in Li Anna's eyes, he suddenly mustered up his courage and said, "You were caught in such a hurry that you probably didn't have time to hire someone?"
Li Anna laughed again, "You're too naive! The reason I've survived until now isn't because I want to live, but because I want revenge, and I'll never forget it. All the money I've earned has gone into this. Okay, no matter how much I say, you won't believe me. I won't waste my breath; you'll experience it for yourself eventually. Well, seeing your regretful face makes me happy. Although I might not hear the news of your death before I die, it's only a matter of time. I'll be waiting for you on the Bridge of Helplessness! Staff, my conversation with Qian Kun is over. Next, Dong Yunyun."
Qian Kun was distraught and his legs went weak. The two assassination attempts had left a deep impression on him; they were terrifying.
Seeing Qian Kun like this made Li Anna even happier. She knew it was wrong, but it made her happy. Since there was no turning back now, she might as well die a swift and painless death.
Qian Kun's face was deathly pale, and his movements were uncoordinated, which worried Liu Meilan and Dong Yunyun greatly.
Dong Yunyun was anxious and quickly asked, "Qian Kun, what did Li Anna say?"
Liu Meilan frowned. "Li Anna admitted that she was the one who arranged the assassination attempt on you?"
“She admitted it!” Qian Kun nodded, revealing an expression more painful than tears. “She also said there would be more assassination attempts, and not just once. She’s spent almost all the money she’s made on this. I… I might not escape the next assassination attempt.”
Dong Yunyun turned pale with fright. "Li Anna, what if... what if she tries to assassinate me too?"
Liu Meilan frowned, thinking of Liu Ruoshi who had also hired someone to kill her three times. "You should talk to Li Anna first, and be nice to her. Actually, this matter doesn't have much to do with you."
Hearing Liu Meilan's words, Dong Yunyun felt a little better. "Yes, I will definitely apologize sincerely."
When she got together with Qian Kun, he had already broken up with Li Anna, so she wasn't exactly a third party. Furthermore, the poisoning at their wedding had already cost her and her family dearly.
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Dong Yunyun followed the staff member inside.
As soon as Dong Yunyun entered, she saw Li Anna with a half-smile and immediately bowed. "I'm sorry, Li Anna. At that time, I thought you and Qian Kun had divorced, which is why you married Qian Kun. I didn't mean to ruin things between you two, I..."
Seeing this, Li Anna smiled and waved her hand, "There's one thing I really admire about Liu Meilan, and that's that she doesn't take her anger out on others. Your marriage to Qian Kun was a result of your weighing the pros and cons and deciding that being together would maximize your benefits. Qian Kun may not even like you or love you."
