Better Off Dead 01

Su Hua casually picked up the piece of meat with her gloved hand and tossed it to the white tiger that had been eyeing it hungrily.

The white tiger immediately caught the piece of meat, chewing it with its sharp teeth, its mouth stained red by the blood from the flesh.

The members of Night Rose watched this scene without any change in their expressions.

Clearly, they had grown accustomed to such a sight.

Huo Shen watched as the white tiger devoured the piece of meat that had belonged to his own body.

His eyes were wide open.

Hua’er, she... she actually fed my flesh to a beast?

What did Hua’er take him for?

Something even lower than a beast?

Another cut came down.

“Ah——” Huo Shen screamed, the pain making the veins on his forehead bulge.

His suffering was not just physical but also emotional. Lin Xuan had already let him off.

Yet the woman he loved most was treating him like this.

Su Hua cut off two or three more pieces of meat.

The basement was filled with the bloody scent belonging to Huo Shen.

Su Hua let out a dry heave.

She frowned.

She hadn’t expected that her pregnancy would make her unable to withstand even this faint smell of blood.

Huo Shen, lying on the ground, widened his eyes.

“Hua’er, are you pregnant?”

The others in the company already knew about Su Hua’s pregnancy. But ever since Lin Xuan sent Huo Shen the wedding invitation,

Huo Shen had been planning to hypnotize Lin Xuan, making him forget about Su Hua and instead remember being with another woman.

He hadn’t been to the company since, nor had he paid attention to anything in the company’s group chat.

None of the employees at Su Corporation had a good relationship with Huo Shen,

let alone would they inform him about Su Hua’s pregnancy.

“That’s right,” Jiang Qing nodded and said. “President Su is indeed pregnant. She has been pregnant for over a month now.”

Su Hua and Lin Xuan had been together for two years without her getting pregnant.

He had secretly checked their medical reports.

Under normal circumstances, Su Hua should have become pregnant long ago.

Huo Shen had thought that Su Hua didn’t love Lin Xuan enough to bear his child.

But now Su Hua was pregnant.

This completely shattered Huo Shen’s illusions.

With a “clang,”

the knife covered in Huo Shen’s blood fell to the ground.

It hurt.

His heart ached beyond recovery.

Su Hua removed her white gloves.

With an expressionless face, she said, “I’ll leave Huo Shen to you. Remember, keep him alive and cut off his flesh piece by piece.”

If they merely chopped his corpse into pieces,

that would be far too merciful for Huo Shen.

“Yes.”

Jiang Qing nodded respectfully.

She glanced at Huo Shen and shook her head.

Old Master Su had always treated Huo Shen like his own son. If Huo Shen had been content to work quietly at Su Corporation without causing any trouble,

and had continued to be filial to Old Master Su,

he could have lived a good life.

But his ambition was too great. He not only wanted to be with Su Hua but also sought to take over Su Corporation.

And on top of that, he dared to lay hands on Master Lin.

How could President Su ever forgive him?

After giving her orders, Su Hua walked expressionlessly toward the basement door.

Huo Shen watched her retreating figure.

He spoke in pain, “Why, why? Hua’er, I love you so much. My conditions aren’t bad either. Why won’t you even give me a second glance?”

Jiang Qing crouched down in front of Huo Shen.

“Chairman Huo,”

Jiang Qing said, “you’re far from being as good as Master Lin. Master Lin is capable, knows how to make people happy, and is good-looking. It’s only natural for President Su to like him. As for you.”

At this, Jiang Qing shook her head and continued, “Even without Master Lin, President Su would never have taken a second look at you.”

Huo Shen stubbornly insisted, “No, it’s because of Lin Xuan. I could have been with Hua’er. It was Lin Xuan—Lin Xuan came between us—otherwise, I would have been dating Hua’er long ago.”

Jiang Qing shook her head. “Huo Shen, you really are incorrigibly obstinate.”

She gave up trying to reason with him.

“Huo Shen,”

Jiang Qing said with a smile, “President Su ordered me to tear you apart into pieces. Now, brace yourself for the agony to come.”

Huo Shen had been at Su Corporation for so long, yet he still didn’t understand how much Master Lin meant to President Su, and he even dared to target Master Lin.

He truly brought about his own destruction.

Today, she would properly teach a lesson to this man who tried to tear President Su and Master Lin apart.

Good thing Master Lin was clever and didn’t let Huo Shen succeed. Otherwise, President Su would have reverted to her old temper.

And as her secretary, she wouldn’t have such an easy life now.

Su Hua had worn gloves only because Lin Xuan had said he didn’t want her hands stained with blood.

But Jiang Qing had no such concerns.

She picked up the blood-stained knife from the ground and, just like Su Hua, plunged it into Huo Shen’s arm,

forcibly gouging out a piece of his flesh.

A doctor stood nearby, performing hemostatic treatments on Huo Shen.

They couldn’t let him die too quickly.

"Aaah — Aaah —"

Amid Huo Shen's screams, piece after piece of his flesh was carved off by Jiang Qing.

His legs, his hands, his face — blood was everywhere.

The white tiger beside him had its fill.

Finally,

Huo Shen died, bleeding out until his life faded.

In death, his eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't accept it, a look of unwillingness still lingering.

Jiang Qing pressed her fingers to Huo Shen's nose to check his breath.

"He's dead."

Jiang Qing said flatly, "Chop his whole body into pieces and feed them to the tiger."

One of Night Rose's subordinates respectfully asked, "Should we inform the Alliance Leader of his death?"

Jiang Qing shook her head. "No need. To President Su, he's nothing more than an irrelevant nobody. If it weren't for Young Master Lin, President Su wouldn't have spared him even a second glance."

"This trivial matter doesn't need to be reported to President Su."

The Night Rose member respectfully agreed. "Understood."

Jiang Qing took one last look at Huo Shen, whose body was now unrecognizable, filled with bloody holes.

"He dug his own grave. No one to blame but himself."

Jiang Qing also left the basement.

Back at Golden Dragon Gang, the matter about Huo Shen was reported to Lin Xuan by one of his subordinates.

"Boss, I overheard Night Rose's people saying that Huo Shen had several chunks of flesh dug out by their Alliance Leader. She also said she wanted him cut into pieces. But after she took those chunks off, she let her assistant handle the rest."

"Now Huo Shen is dead. I heard there wasn't a single intact spot left on his body. His death was even more gruesome than anyone Night Rose had ever dealt with before."

Lin Xuan frowned upon hearing this.

Cut into pieces...

Wasn't that exactly what Huo Shen had once said about him?

Looked like Hua had remembered Huo Shen's words and used the same method he planned for her against him.

Thank you to dear Jiao Tan Kao Shui for the explosive flower sprinkle for bonus chapters — the plan is to finish at chapter 1314.
