Just as I was about to dial 120, someone snatched my phone away.

It was Song Liang, who said coldly, "Vivi, what are you doing here?"

His beard was unkempt, his eyes gleaming with ferocity, looking completely deranged.

My legs turned to jelly; could he be silencing me too?

Xiao Chao struggled to say, "The child is innocent, please..."

Song Liang sneered, "Hmph, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Taking me for a fool, you despicable pair."

My cousin stumbled in.

She knelt down and pleaded, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please spare them, I don't want anything, I'll return all the money to you."

Song Liang kicked her away, roaring,

"I saved you!

"Apart from me, no one wants you; those men just want to sleep with you for money. Without me, you'd end up a hidden prostitute.

"I was engaged to Vivi, had such a good job, all ruined by you.

"My sincerity turned into a joke."

He grabbed Xiao Chao and dragged him outside.

The waves outside were rough, the water and sky vast, not a boat in sight.

No time to think, I ran.

Stumbling up the slope, my hands and feet scraped.

On the curb, I mustered courage to look back, my hair standing on end.

My cousin jumped into the lake before my eyes, disappearing.

Song Liang let out an animalistic, inhuman cry.

It seemed he finally realized what he had done.

A person committing suicide in front of you is too much to bear.

Even the most evil minds have their limits.

Song Liang abandoned Xiao Chao and ran along the lake shore.

The road was quiet, sycamore leaves drifting down, brushing against my head.

I jumped as if startled.

If this is a nightmare, it's time to wake up.
