In order to get the truth from Yuan Ya'er, Bai Xuanhe didn't really intend to kill her. He let go of his hand at the last moment.
Yuan Ya'er collapsed on the ground like a heap of mud.
She coughed violently. Snot and tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes and nose due to the physiological pain, making her look even more disgusting.
After finally recovering from the feeling of near - death, Yuan Ya'er looked up and saw Bai Xuanhe playing with a scalpel in front of her.
It was his most convenient weapon that he never left behind. Just a gentle push forward, and her life would be over!
"If your answer satisfies me, I might consider helping you leave this place."
Meeting Bai Xuanhe's gaze, the desire to survive overcame the fear of almost being strangled to death by him just now. Yuan Ya'er blurted out impatiently:
"I'm willing to tell you!"
But she was also a bit worried: "However... the story behind this sounds a bit unbelievable. I'm afraid you'll think I'm just talking nonsense..."
Bai Xuanhe said, "It's up to you whether to tell or not, and up to me whether to believe or not."
Getting the answer she wanted from him, Yuan Ya'er secretly let out a sigh of relief and started to tell him.
"I'm really not the original Yuan Ya'er. My soul comes from another world. In my previous life, my name was Xu Ya, and I was a death - row inmate. And this world is actually a novel."
As Yuan Ya'er spoke, she observed Bai Xuanhe's expression. When she saw a slight look of surprise on his face, she gained confidence.
He really didn't know that this world was a novel. Then how did he see through her identity? At that moment, a malicious thought suddenly crossed her mind.
"You'll never guess who the protagonist of this novel is," Yuan Ya'er said. "The name of this novel is *The Wealthy Family's Little Wife of the Villainous Big Shot*, and the protagonists are Yuan Xi and you."
Yuan Ya'er fabricated a story for Bai Xuanhe. The general idea was that this world originally told the love story of Yuan Xi and Bai Xuanhe. Yan Zhen abandoned Yuan Xi after having an affair. Then, when Yuan Xi was heart - broken, she accidentally saved Bai Xuanhe's mother and properly settled her down.
After that, Yuan Xi and Bai Xuanhe met, and they naturally fell in love. With Bai Xuanhe's help, Yuan Xi concealed her identity as the fake daughter of the Yuan family and gradually grew into a multi - masked big shot who shocked the world. She gave birth to a pair of extremely cute twin sons.
"Bai He, you're the protagonist of this world. Yuan Xi should have been your wife, and her twin sons should have been yours! It's me. After I came to this world, I was jealous that Yuan Xi, although not the real daughter of the Yuan family, got everything. So I wanted to snatch all her opportunities from her!"
"Yan Yancheng snatched the woman who should have been yours. As long as you kill him and destroy the Yan family, Yuan Xi and those two kids will be yours!"
If the Yan family was destroyed, no one would sue her, and no one would care about Yan Zhen's death!
When Yuan Ya'er said this, her eyes were filled with intense malice. This selfish expression that ignored humanity and morality reminded Bai Xuanhe of his uncle who had ruined his family.
This woman was really a death - row inmate in her previous life. Even at this moment, she still wanted to harm others. After two lifetimes of legal sanctions, she showed no sign of repentance.
Bai Xuanhe laughed. He squatted in front of Yuan Ya'er, lifted her chin with the scalpel, and raised his eyebrows. "Me? And Yuan Xi? And we even had a pair of twins?"
The sharp knife pierced into Yuan Ya'er's shoulder. The indescribable pain made her body tremble violently, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Madman! Madman! This man was a complete madman! Yuan Ya'er gritted her teeth tightly, trying not to make any sound of pain, but her body was completely soaked with cold sweat due to the pain.
"Yuan Ya'er, I've said that I'm not as stupid as Yan Zhen. I won't believe whatever you say. If I were the protagonist, why did you go through so much trouble to scheme against Yuan Xi, marry Yan Zhen, and even have an affair with others just to get pregnant? If you don't tell the truth, I'll make you experience what it means to live in hell."
The knife was still in her shoulder. Bai Xuanhe held the handle of the knife. Just a little further down, he could cut open her heart...
Yuan Ya'er closed her eyes tightly and finally told him the truth.
This world was indeed a book, named *Young Master Yan, Please Be Gentle with Your Love*. The protagonists were Yan Xuran and Yu Yao. And Yan Xuran's parents were Yuan Xi and Yan Zhen.
Yuan Xi was originally the daughter of the Xu family in Xingcheng. She was accidentally taken away by Mrs. Yuan in the hospital and became the daughter of the Yuan family. She was spoiled since childhood and had Yan Zhen, the eldest grandson of the wealthy Yan family in Fengcheng, as her fiancé. She could be said to have won at the starting line. Moreover, she was a kind - hearted girl. Because of her kindness, she saved a female beggar who fainted on the road and got to know the world - famous hacker "Bai He".
"Bai He" fell in love with Yuan Xi uncontrollably, but because of his past, he chose to silently guard her and concealed the fact that she was not the real daughter of the Yuan family.
When Yuan Xi was 21 years old, she married Yan Zhen. The wedding was extremely grand. Nine months after the wedding, she gave birth to the story's protagonist, Yan Xuran.
As soon as Yan Xuran was born, he became the apple of the eyes of both the Yan and Yuan families. Even "Bai He" liked him very much. Yan Xuran was talented in both medicine and business. On the one hand, he received careful cultivation from the Yan family. On the other hand, he was personally taught by "Bai He" and grew into a hidden big shot who was proficient in medicine, drug - making, and hacking technology.
Just like all cheesy love novels, the outstanding Yan Xuran met Yu Yao by chance. At first, they couldn't stand each other, but in the end, they understood and cherished each other, which became a beautiful story.
As for his biological mother, Yuan Xi, she was pampered by Yan Zhen and others all her life.
After "Bai He" died, Yuan Xi's identity as a fake daughter was exposed. The real daughter of the Yuan family, Xu Ya'er, was found. But by that time, Xu Ya'er was already married and had children. Although her life was not extremely wealthy, she had both sons and daughters and lived a peaceful and happy life.
After the death - row inmate Xu Ya came to this world and learned the general plot of the story, she felt indignant for Xu Ya'er.
She was the real blood of the Yuan family. Yan Zhen, wealth and honor, the love of the Yuan and Yan families, and even the protagonist Yan Xuran should all be hers!
For this reason, she tried every means to let the Yuan family know Yuan Xi's true identity in advance. After being taken back to Fengcheng by the Yuan family, she saved "Bai He"'s mother before Yuan Xi did, got to know "Bai He", and even tried to seduce Yan Zhen.
However, neither Yan Zhen nor "Bai He" could develop romantic feelings for her. She realized that as long as Yuan Xi was still alive, she couldn't take away everything from Yuan Xi.
So, she joined hands with Ji Xinyue to design a very detailed plan. She found "Bai He" and asked him to help destroy Yuan Xi in exchange for three favors.
Yan Zhen saw Yuan Xi lose her innocence with his own eyes. Naturally, he no longer had any illusions about her. At his birthday banquet, in front of everyone, he broke off the engagement with Yuan Xi.
After that, Yuan Ya'er used Yuan's father and mother to force Yuan Xi to marry Guan Baocheng. Yuan Xi lost everything, her innocence, reputation, and the position of the daughter of the Yuan family. She was completely desperate. She quietly fled Fengcheng and was then kicked out by her biological parents. She could only find a place to hide.
It took Yuan Ya'er nearly four years to make Yan Zhen fall in love with her. The two got engaged smoothly. She replaced Yuan Xi and became Yan Zhen's fiancée. She sent the photos of her and Yan Zhen to Yuan Xi's email to force Yuan Xi to commit suicide.
The protagonist of this novel was Yan Xuran. She thought that as long as she and Yan Zhen gave birth to a child and named him Yan Xuran, the story could continue, and she would completely replace Yuan Xi and get everyone's love.
That was her plan.
But to her surprise, Yuan Xi not only didn't die but also lived well and was with Yan Yancheng, Yan Zhen's uncle! What she didn't expect even more was that it was not Guan Baocheng who defiled Yuan Xi that night but Yan Yancheng!
As for what happened after that, Bai Xuanhe already knew without her telling.
Yuan Ya'er thought that as long as she got pregnant and gave birth to a child named "Yan Xuran", this world would have a "protagonist", and she could get everything she wanted.
But reality slapped her hard in the face.
She went to prison, lost her child, and now was facing a second prosecution and judgment.
This time, she couldn't escape. She would surely become a death - row inmate again. But this same ending as in her previous life made her even more strongly dissatisfied.
She never thought she was wrong. She thought everyone else was wrong. So until just now, she still tried to use Bai Xuanhe to deal with the Yan family.
After listening, Bai Xuanhe pulled out the knife, wiped the blood on it with a handkerchief, and said to her:
"I'll take you out of here."
Yuan Ya'er's face showed ecstasy. She said, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have used you out of jealousy of Yuan Xi! I promise that from now on, I'll work hard for you and be your most loyal dog!"
But the next moment, Bai Xuanhe's words made Yuan Ya'er feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Death by execution is too easy for you. You have to pay the price for what you've done, and I have a thousand ways to torture you."
