Chapter 2703: I Can Wait
Even after Ning Shu slapped him, Cheng Fei still acted dotingly. He looked at her like she was just a cute but spoiled wife.
Cheng Fei licked the blood stains at the corner of his mouth. He smiled at Ning Shu and said, “I know that it’ll take time for you to accept this, but I can wait.”
Ning Shu: …
He wasn’t asking her for something simple, like money, right now. He was asking her to die! How could he put it so lightly?
“How are you going to fossilize me?” Ning Shu asked. “Will it hurt?”
Cheng Fei gently smiled. “It won’t. Not even in the slightest.
“I’ll first use the plastination technique, then I’ll cover you in amber. You’ll be forever young and beautiful. You’ll remain the way I love most forever.”
Ning Shu: F*ck your love…
Could this even be called love?
Why didn’t he just fossilize himself?
How did her living get in his way, for him to insist on killing her?
“Since you’re going to kill me, at least let me die with my questions answered. Were you the one behind what happened to my dad?” Ning Shu asked. “Were you trying to kill my parents?”
Cheng Fei shook his head. “No, I’ve never thought of killing your parents. Why would I kill them?
“They are your parents and I love them as much as you do.”
“Thank you so much then.” The corners of Ning Shu’s mouth twitched. Talking with him really made her feel sick.
Cheng Fei smiled at Ning Shu. “Don’t mention it.”
Ning Shu looked at piles of amber on the ground, as well as the corpses soaked in formalin.
“Did you kill all these girls?” Ning Shu asked.
Cheng Fei shook his head. “I got all of them from funeral homes. I just practiced on them.
“My amber-making technique has improved by a lot. I’ll definitely be able to make you my most perfect amber creation,” Cheng Fei said.
So the only reason that Ai Yun survived as long as she did was because Cheng Fei had yet to be skilled enough in amber-making.
Ning Shu couldn’t help scratching her head. Cheng Fei was a very careful man. So far, he’d denied everything that she’d accused him of except for his wish to fossilize her.
Ning Shu now not only suspected that Cheng Fei was pulling the strings behind the scenes but also suspected that he had killed his adoptive family.
At that time, Cheng Fei was only a preteen.
If he really did kill his adoptive parents, then he was truly a monster.
Ning Shu felt that Cheng Fei was not just simply mentally ill. He was a high-functioning and intelligent psychopath.
He had a good personality and charisma. He was physically attractive and highly educated. Everyone seemed to like him and he seemed friendly to all of them, yet he used his charm only to manipulate others.
He was very ruthless. He did evil things without feeling even a speck of guilt.
Psychopaths were professional manipulators who could achieve their goals by using other people.
They lacked the basic human empathy. No amount of teaching would help them understand the concept. They were more likely to start manipulating the people who tried to teach them instead.
Indeed, they were very capable of manipulating other people’s emotions.
For example, if a person was happy when they ran into a psychopath, that psychopath might very well deliberately tell them that their boss had been very dissatisfied with their work recently.
Could that person still be happy then?
Their mood would sink to the lowest level with a bang.
One by one, Cheng Fei showed Ning Shu each of his finished ambers. He smiled and said to her, “Look, they got less and less flawed, right? I’ve been practicing this for a long time.”
Ning Shu: …
Was it really okay for him to discuss this with her like this?
He was going to fossilize her. Wasn’t doing this practically like asking a dying person to choose their own coffin?
Ning Shu looked at Cheng Fei. He was a handsome young man, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, clad in a white doctor’s coat.
This skin of his was truly the strongest and most deceitful disguise.
