Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 200 - The Reunion Arc : The Truth Of That Night (2)

"To protect her dignity, I chose to destroy it myself." - Zhu Xiaosi.

---

Under the blanket of darkness that the night cast upon the city, Xiaosi followed the mysterious car on his bike. His heart was rapidly pounding in his chest. Sweat trickled down the side of his cheeks as he gulped.

Caihong…don\'t worry, okay? I will save you. I will not let anything happen to you. I am coming for you. Hold on for a bit more okay…

He halted his bike after his long chase. The car had stopped in front of a small farmhouse-like building. He hastily got out and ran towards the building where the men had taken Caihong.

Xiaosi barged into the villa and screamed. "Caihong! Caihong!" He curled his fingers into a fist and cursed loudly. "Come out, you bastards! How dare you take her away! Bring her back to me! Bring Caihong back to me!"

There was no answer.

He saw a stairway that lead upstairs and didn\'t waste any time searching for her.

"Caihong! Caihong!"

Suddenly, a group of guards blocked his way. "Leave," one of them coldly said.

Xiaosi lunged at him. "Who the hell are you who took Caihong away? How dare you? What do want with her!"

"If you don\'t want to get hurt, then get out or we have to throw you out ourselves."

His face reddened in anger. "You-"

"Who the hell is shouting so much?" A cold voice rang in the air.

From behind the guards, Xiaosi saw a figure step in and his eyes widened as he immediately recognized it. "Grandpa Han!"

Han Huizhong paused in his step. He turned and narrowed his eyes as he saw Xiaosi.

"What are you doing here?" He quietly asked.

Xiaosi felt relief wash over him seeing him here too. "Grandpa! Caihong! These men kidnapped Caihong here! I came following them here. Please help, Grandpa. Where is Caihong? I don\'t know what these people want with her. We must save her!"

Han Huizhong said nothing.

Xiaosi pushed the guard away and ran up to his side. "Caihong? Where is she? Grandpa, you call the police and arrest these goons! I will check on Caihong."

No answer.

Han Huizhong craned his neck and sharply said, "Couldn\'t you do a single thing right? You just had to bring her here and you let a brat follow you here?"

The guards lowered their heads, afraid.

Xiaosi blinked his eyes. "Grandpa...I don\'t understand. Told to bring her here? You…?"

Han Huizhong smiled and patted his shoulder. "Xiaosi my boy.?Better that you leave. This has got nothing to do with you."

Xiaosi blankly stared at him. "If it\'s regarding Caihong, then it has to do with me."

He curiously looked at him and realization dawned upon him. "You...do you love Caihong?"

Xiaosi froze.

His lack of response gave Han Huizhong his answer. "Hahaha! So you love that woman. Wow, this is news to me. Caihong loves Zhiyuan and you love her. Oof. Such a sad fate."

This whole situation became more jarring than ever to him.

"Leave Xiaosi," his expression turned solemn."

"...I am not going anywhere without Caihong. Grandpa, what is going on?"

With Han Huizhong\'s strange reaction, Xiaosi got a bad feeling.

"Well, you cannot take her away anywhere because I have told them to bring her here."

He looked at him, stunned.

"Bring her here by kidnapping her?"

He smiled. "Yes."

"Why? What...do you want with her?"

"Her dignity."

Xiaosi was shocked. "Dignity?"

Han Huizhong sighed. "Since you are already here and saw me, there is no use hiding it from you. Come with me."

They walked towards a room where Xiaosi saw Caihong sleeping on a bed.

"Caihong!" He exclaimed and ran towards her but the guards stopped him. "Get out of my way!"

He then saw a stranger man in the room too near the bed. "Who is he?"

"The one who will steal away her dignity."

Xiaosi froze. "Grandpa! You are not making any sense! What the hell is going on? If this is some kind of a joke then-"

"Joke?" He coldly reiterated. "Trust me, my boy. I am in no mood to joke around here. I brought Caihong here so that he ruins her. That is what I want and that is what I will get."

His face turned ashen, hearing such a bizarre thing from his mouth. "Are you crazy? R-rape Caihong? Why? Why would you go this far!"

"Because I don\'t like her for Zhiyuan," he plainly stated.

Xiaosi couldn\'t wrap his head around what he was saying. "So just because you don\'t like her, you will stoop so low? Do you even know what you are talking about! You might not like her, but you cannot go this far to drive her away from Zhiyuan\'s life! They-they love each other. What is wrong if they stay together?"

Han Huizhong yawned. "You know, Xiaosi. You are wasting my time. None of what that you are saying will have any effect on me. I don\'t have to explain myself to you."

"Hell you do!" Xiaosi burst out in outrage. "Caihong is a wonderful woman who…" his heart ached, "loves Zhiyuan. They are so happy with each other. And you want to separate them in such a way!?"

"Sure why not? Tomorrow morning, Caihong would find the inevitable truth and she will herself leave Zhiyuan. You know. Zhiyuan\'s heart is really big. He will definitely accept her even though she would have been defiled. But the question is will Caihong let him? Will she have the heart to force Zhiyuan to accept her as a compromised woman? I told Zhiyuan that I don\'t like her, but he still hopes to make me understand how happy he will be with her. What a load of crap. Zhiyuan will be happy with the woman that I will choose for him."

Xiaosi failed to understand him. He felt as if they weren\'t even speaking the same language.

"Grandpa. Y-you are talking about rape here. You are saying as if it\'s not a big deal at all. It is to Caihong! She is innocent! She doesn\'t deserve this. You might have some differences with her but she doesn\'t deserve this!" His face reddened and tears slid down his cheeks.

Han Huizhong shrugged. "I don\'t care. I have decided that I will do this and like hell a poor orphan like you can stop me," he sneered.

Xiaosi looked at him stunned.

Han Huizhong coldly glanced at that man and ordered him. "Do it."
