Marriage Seduction Addiction

Chapter 305 Closed Loop
Meng Liancheng had already opened and looked at the box when he got it; it contained only ordinary little trinkets, nothing special.

But at this moment, he saw with his own eyes Tang Xu pull out a small black object from a hidden compartment.

The dark, gaping opening of the pipe was pointed at him.

At that moment, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Tang Xu looked at him and said in a low voice, "Since you know that your existence will destroy her sooner or later, you should be able to guess that I never intended to let you leave this room alive."

Meng Liancheng was on edge, his eyes creased into a strange shape, but after a moment, he slowly laughed, "Kill me, then what about you? Do you think you can escape? You're still so young, don't you want the rest of your life?"

Tang Xu chuckled softly, "Thank you for considering my feelings, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I've long since given up on the rest of my life."

Upon hearing this, Meng Liancheng's expression changed again, and when he spoke again, he finally realized something, "You want to die together with me?"

Tang Xu tilted her head and smiled, which could be considered as tacit agreement.

"Is it worth it?" Meng Liancheng chuckled and asked.

“Of course it’s worth it,” Tang Xu replied. “As long as you’re dead, I’ll be at peace and have no regrets. So, I’ll accept whatever the ending may be.”

Even death?

"Hmm." Tang Xu remained relaxed and composed, her expression not stiff at all. She truly spoke from the heart, "Even in death."

At that moment, Meng Liancheng finally realized that this was the ending Tang Xu wanted.

She hadn't even considered any other possibilities; she wanted him dead, and after his death, she wouldn't face any other fate—

"You're insane—"

Tang Xu slowly shook his head. "From a very early time, this world has lost its meaning for me... and being able to take you away will be the best thing I've ever done in my life."

Meng Liancheng stared at the object in her hand for a moment, his mind racing, and finally found a flaw—

“No, you can’t kill me,” Meng Liancheng said.

"Oh?" Tang Xu was extremely patient, staring at him as if teasing a pet, and gently curled the corners of her lips. "Tell me, why not?"

"You think killing me will protect your mother's reputation? But the more you do that, the less you can hide it." Meng Liancheng stared at her and said, "Countless people will investigate your motives for killing me. You know how society is now; once someone digs in, no secret can be kept. In the end, you'll have sacrificed your life in vain, but you'll still drag your mother into the vortex of public opinion. Have you thought about how much she will suffer then?"

Tang Xu listened calmly, but then laughed again.

Meng Liancheng said, "What, you think what I said makes no sense?" "It makes a lot of sense," Tang Xu replied, "but you're overcomplicating things. The motive to kill you has been with me since the moment we met tonight, hasn't it?"

After saying that, Tang Xu gently raised her chin, revealing the marks on her neck from being strangled.

Meng Liancheng's mind went blank for a moment, and he finally connected all the events of the night.

Tang Xu asked him to retrieve the box for her, which meant she wanted him to personally retrieve the weapon that was meant to kill her.
The reason she mocked and provoked him from the very first meeting was to provoke him.

When he lost control and grabbed her by the neck, pressing her hard against the sofa, Tang Xu achieved all his goals.

She found a perfect motivation for herself—

Self-defense.

Because he struck first, because he almost lost control and killed her, she fought back and killed him in order to protect herself.

As for what grudges existed between the two of them that made him want to kill her, that was a matter between the two of them.

In this way, the whole matter becomes a closed loop between the two people, and has nothing to do with anyone else.

Having finally figured everything out, Meng Liancheng raised his dark, ghostly eyes. "Killing me is easy, but killing yourself is not a simple matter. Are you sure you can—"

"boom--"

A loud bang startled the entire house, making it tremble.

Meng Liancheng was thrown to the ground by the sudden impact, clutching his bleeding arm and howling in pain.

Tang Xu raised an eyebrow slightly as if conducting an experiment, "Huh, it's really easy."

"You'll regret it, you'll definitely regret it—" Meng Liancheng's pale face finally regained color, his face turning a deep purplish-red, veins bulging, cold sweat pouring down as he stared at Tang Xu, "Things won't turn out the way you expect, they definitely won't—"

“We’ll all be dead by then, so don’t worry about it.” Tang Xu walked up to him, squatted down, looked at him, and said softly, “As for how I will kill myself, you’ll die before me anyway, so it’s not your place to worry about it.”

She finished speaking lightly, then suddenly smiled at him, and immediately pressed the tube against his forehead—

Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open from the outside with a loud bang.

The autumn night wind, accompanied by the man's deep, husky, slightly trembling voice, swept in—

"Yaoyao..."
