Xu Xian'er drifted to them slowly. She looked like a fairy in her long red dress and her long hair fell like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind. Although her face looked like a total disaster, her hair and dress still proved that she was a beauty.

She stretched out her fingers. Her sharp fingernails had already turned black and her palm was rotting. The bones of her hand were exposed.

Her hand flew towards Yan w.a.n.gchuan's heart rapidly.

Her sinister voice cried out, "Yan w.a.n.gchuan, you caused me to die! I want your heart! Give me, give it to me... I want to see if it is black!"

Her voice was cold, sending chills down their spines.

Long Xi clench her jaw and stepped forward, blocking Yan w.a.n.gchuan with her body. "Did you see the wrong person? How could he have killed you?"

At this exact moment, Long Xi had already planned on being his s.h.i.+eld.

She did not see Yan w.a.n.gchuan's touched expression.

Out of a sudden, Yan w.a.n.gchuan ripped off an amulet hung on his neck. He plastered it on Xu Xian'er's forehead and her body froze.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan panted as he said, "One should be responsible for his own actions. I did indeed do something to you that I feel sorry for, come at me! She is innocent, let her go!"

Xu Xian'er could not move but she could still talk. "Yan w.a.n.gchuan, speak for yourself. Are you the one who pushed me into the fire pit? You knew what kind of people Chen Qiangjian, Cheng Yilun, and Jiang Ba is, and yet you still tricked me to go see them? Huh?"

Yan w.a.n.gchuan replied, "Yes, I am in the wrong. But I hope that you can understand that I was forced too. I was also a victim and an even bigger one at that. Can you listen to my sorrows?"

He started telling his own painful experience while stuttering. Although his story was all over the place without a beginning and an end due to his nervousness, he finally told the whole story. At the very least, Long Xi understood it.

It turned out that while he was studying in a middle school in City B, he was unlucky enough to b.u.mp into the Brutal Pranks Gang. Chen Qiangjian, Cheng Yilun, and Jiang Ba were members of this big gang.

Back then, Cheng Qiangjian and Cheng Yilun were about 18 to 19 years old. They did not study, neither did they go to work. They just played all day. Their toys were all people, human beings with blood, flesh, and life.

Jiang Ba was in the same grade as Yan w.a.n.gchuan. He repeated one year and they were both in year one of middle school. Chen Qiangjian and Cheng Yilun often came to find Jiang Ba to hang out together. Many of Jiang Ba's cla.s.smates became their prey.

The three boys came from very wealthy families. They had huge power in their hands. n.o.body dared to go against them in school and they had everything they wanted. Forget ordinary student like Yan w.a.n.gchuan, even the princ.i.p.al was afraid of them.

Initially, Yan w.a.n.gchuan was not in the same cla.s.s as Jiang Ba. He would often try to get out of their way and successfully survived two years of middle school peacefully.

What he did not know was that his father, Yan Yu, was working under Chen Qiangjian's father, Chen Jian. His father was a civil servant in City B and Chen Jian was the city's leader.

Chen Jian seemed like a decent man with producing excellent results at work. However, behind the mask, he was a morally corrupt man who plays around with people.

As an unlucky low-level civil servant, Yan Yu was bullied by Chen Jian very badly. He even started having hallucinations, which almost caused him to get dismissed from his unit.

Since the two men had a vastly different background, he could only feel angry and was unable to muster up the courage to tell anyone. He could only feel sorry for himself and suck it up.

Afterward, Chen Jian was probably tired of playing those old games and invented a new game called "Fall Guy".

He would anoint one person as the fall guy for the person being played. For example, he anointed Yan Yu's only son, Yan w.a.n.gchuan, as his fall guy. As long as Yan Yu introduced Yan w.a.n.gchuan to Chen Jian, then Yan w.a.n.gchuan would become Yan Yu's fall guy and Yan Yu would be free of torture.

As the breadwinner of the family and to protect himself, his father followed the instructions.

On that fateful day, it was Chen Qiangjian's birthday. Yan Yu brought Yan w.a.n.gchuan to the Chen's and formally introduced Yan w.a.n.gchuan to Chen Jian. Yan w.a.n.gchuan knew nothing at this moment.

Just like that, Chen Jian, as well as Chen Qiangjian and his two counterparts (Cheng Yilun and Jiang Ba) preyed on Yan w.a.n.gchuan. They tried all kinds of methods to bully him and side him out.

He was not the only one. Even his mother was prey to their torture. She often slipped on the streets or was almost hit on the head by a falling flower pot. She was a saleswoman in one of the top 50 big companies of the country. Sometimes, there would be clients who made things extra difficult. They would intend to sign the contract but pull out suddenly.

Chen Jian and his gang then told Yan Yu that as long as he divorced his wife and nullified his relations.h.i.+p with Yan w.a.n.gchuan on the newspaper, they would let him go completely.

Yan Yu followed suit. Soon after the divorce, he re-married.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan was in complete despair at that time!

Fortunately, his mother did not abandon him. She would rather resign than leave him. She was a loving and open-minded mother, and she respected her child's ideas.

He was very guilty and felt that he was dragging her down.

Yan w.a.n.gchuan was forced to drop out of school and move far away from that city. He stayed at a mental hospital in X City for about half a month and recovered. He still had to take medicine on a nightly basis, or else his condition would return.

Afterward, he got into Yulin High School. He thought that he could finally get rid of the three devils. Little did he know that they were everywhere.

Jiang Ba's father sent his team to X City. Through his connections, he got his only son a place in the Yulin High School's key cla.s.s. It was a school that paid more attention to students who need help.

Seeing Yan w.a.n.gchuan, Jiang Ba felt like a cat that saw the mouse he once played with. He was so excited, he quickly called Chen Qiangjian and Cheng Yilun over so that they could continue bullying him.

Luckily, at this moment, Man Shahua stood up for him. She protected Yan w.a.n.gchuan through making use of her father's connections. She made an agreement with the three of them. Yan w.a.n.gchuan was very grateful to her and she took advantage of the timing and confessed to him. He accepted her feelings.

An obvious gun was easy to dodge, but a silent arrow was difficult to defend from. Afterward, they accidentally found Xu Xian'er's love letter to Yan w.a.n.gchuan when they were flipping through his school bag. They became very excited, as if they have discovered a new piece of land.

Hence, they told Yan w.a.n.gchuan that they were already tired of him. As long as he got Xu Xian'er to be his fall guy and introduced her to them, they would let him go.

"So? So you took advantage of my feelings for you, you lied and said you have friends to introduce me to. You brought me to Jiang Ba's family's villa. Did you know how they treated me? After you left, they took turns to rape me and used all kinds of methods to torture me. They electrocuted me with an electric rod. They burnt me with fire. They cut my mouth open with a knife and sew it back with needles and thread. I might as well be dead! I wanted to die!" Blood was overflowing from Xu Xian'er's eyes. She looked terrifying yet pitiful.
