Chapter 76: Eerie
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As he reached the doorway, Tang Hai suddenly halted and emitted a series of strange laughter, sounding as eerie as if it were coming from an animal.
Humans found it difficult to produce such sounds, and both Lu Yuan and Xia Xin were creeped out.
Tang Hail s figure against the backlight seemed as if he had traversed from hell, still laughing. The laughter lasted for about two minutes. He bent over while laughing, then abruptly straightened, even his voice turned somewhat sinister. He said, “You’ve discovered, so what? Why bring it up?”
Both individuals were left dumbfounded. Lu Yuan slammed the table in anger and asked, “Tang Hai, what are you saying?”
Tang Hai laughed again and said, “Hehe, don’t you understand the literal meaning? Even if you’ve found out that I did these things, what can you do about it? Those animals deserve to die! A monkey with psychological issues, a disabled-legged panda, and a lioness who lost her cub, what’s the point of them being alive? Why don’t they just die?”
Tang Hail s words filled Xia Xin with fear and dread. Trembling, she asked, “Are you admitting that you did these things now?”
“Yes, I admit it. What’s there to not admit? Unlike that coward who, when falsely accused, can only leave without arguing back, a true waste!” Tang Hai said.
Xia Xin was taken aback for a moment. She thought, ‘This way of speaking… it sounded so much like… split personality?’
Tang Hai smirked coldly and said, “You’re no saint either. What gives you the right to discuss me?”
Xia Xin countered, “What do you mean by that?”
“Clearly, you have a boyfriend, yet not telling anyone, putting on an innocent face to the world. Then you flirt with other men everywhere. You’re nothing more than a b*tch!” Tang Hai said.
Xia Xin had never heard such offensive insults before. Angrily, she retorted, “Whether I have a partner or admirers is none of your concern. What gives you the right to comment on my affairs?”
Tang Hai turned to look at them. His gaze was no longer the honest and genuine one from before. Instead, it was fierce and full of resentment. He said, “I can’t stand the fact that you have a boyfriend and still try to seduce me, using that innocent appearance of a pure white rabbit to seduce people every day. In reality, you’re just a promiscuous fox! I kindly went to the hospital to see you, and you dared to reject me in public! Also, why didn’t you tell me when you were discharged? I wasted a trip to your house, waiting downstairs for you. You dared to say that I was disturbing you? I waited for you at your door for three days. You, this wretched woman, didn’t leave the house for three days! If it weren’t for you not coming out, you would have died long ago.”
After hearing the last sentence, Xia Xin took a step back in fright. The expression and tone of Tang Hai’s words made her spine tingle. The stark contrast in Tang Hai’s attitude before and after left her in a state of shock.
Rong Qi often heard footsteps outside her door and it wasn’t her imagination. Tang Hai had been monitoring her all along. Xia Xin found it hard to imagine what would have happened if she had actually gone out that day. The fear of narrowly escaping death caused her undergarments to become instantly damp with cold sweat.
Tang Hai continued, “That’s right, I stole that lion cub too. I smeared its scent on your hat because you deserve to die! You should have died. To think you didn’t was a pity. I wonder what tricks you have up your sleeve to make those animals so docile around you. It seems you have a way with not just men but animals too!”
Xia Xin couldn’t bear to listen any longer, her eyes reddened with anger. She shouted, “Shut up! Don’t project your filthy thoughts onto others!”
“Heh, pretending to be righteous. Don’t use your fake innocence to deceive me. I’ve long seen through your true self. Do you think I’m as gullible as the others? Dream on!” Tang Hai exclaimed.
Xia Xin calmed herself down. She couldn’t let Tang Hail s words get into her mind. She shielded herself from his words.
Looking at Tang Hai, Xia Xin retorted sharply, “Because your heart is dark, you see everyone as unworthy of respect, just like you. Ultimately, you don’t respect yourself. You’ve never acknowledged yourself. You’re just a coward, too afraid to admit your failures, so you put the blame on others. You’re a laughable coward!”
“Shut up!” Tang Hai shouted as he clenched his fists, his gaze as if he wanted to tear Xia Xin apart alive..
