Ch. 226..230: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 226-230
Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Do You Know Who She Is? Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Do You Know Who She Is? “So, what you’re saying is that this Sheng Siyuan is here to kill my daughter?”
Lan Cuo actually believed every word this woman said.
Lin Shuang immediately nodded.
“That’s right, look at the grand display he put on today, he even brought the military. Mr. President, if you wait for him to come over tomorrow, you truly won’t be able to hold accountable to Director Ang.”
She reminded this man once again.
Her purpose, of course, was to resolve this matter completely by dawn.
Yin Hehe, you are destined not to see tomorrow’s sun.
“Alright, since you say so, then let’s send her over tonight. You go notify the lady and have her get ready. And that little slut…”
“President, rest assured, I will make sure she obediently gets sent over.”
The woman immediately piped up.
Her face, of course, bore a smile more sinister than that of a venomous snake.
Lan Cuo agreed.
Soon, word spread throughout the Tulan Society that the second young miss was to be married off in the dead of night.
And when Ang Family’s side heard of it, who knows how Lan Cuo communicated with them, they actually agreed!
“Since everyone has agreed, then bring that little slut out and get her cleaned up and dressed.”
Seeing this, the lady began to give orders.
The other ladies from the two branches, as well as their children, were overjoyed, to say the least.
Only a servant who usually took care of the second lady, upon hearing this news, rushed to the dark cell where her mistress was locked up, wanting to tell her what was happening.
But just as she was going out the door, she bumped into the third young miss, Tiya.
“This lowly servant, she must be going to snitch, right?”
“Need you even ask!”
The personal maid following her didn’t hesitate to agree with her mistress’s words.
Tiya suddenly felt malicious.
“Then what are you waiting for? Drag her away and beat her to death!”
With that one sentence, in this gang’s den where human rights were non-existent, the pitiful servant was dragged away to be beaten. By the time Meng Zhao arrived, he could only see the dying maid.
“Meng… Meng Zhao young master, hurry and save the second young miss, they… they are going to marry her off in the middle of the night… to that fool…”
With her last breath, the maid finally managed to get the message to this young master.
Meng Zhao exploded with rage.
He didn’t bother with a proper burial for the maid and drew a dagger, furiously storming over to the residence of the lady.
But unexpectedly, just as he arrived there, he saw Yin Hehe, who looked dazed, was already being brought out, and at that moment, to prevent her from making a scene, Lin Shuang was once again injecting her with something.
“You beasts, let her go!”
Meng Zhao was so furious his eyes turned blood red, and he charged over, raising the dagger and fiercely stabbing it towards Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang was instantly terrified.
“Lady, save me!” She quickly hid behind the lady, trembling like a leaf in the wind.
The lady, seeing this, was both angry and outraged!
“Meng Zhao, what madness is this! I am your aunt!”
She immediately had people restrain Meng Zhao, not daring to be too harsh, after all, he was Lan Cuo’s only nephew.
But when Meng Zhao was restrained, the look he gave her was as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.
“The way you treat her today, one day, it will come to your daughter!”
“…”
For a long time, the lady couldn’t utter a single word.
Meng Zhao was locked up.
At two in the morning, Yin Hehe was finally dressed up like a puppet, having put on a beautiful bridal gown and adorned with jewelry. After being helped into the hall to kneel, they just waited for Ang Family’s foolish son to come pick her up.
The marriage customs here, in fact, are quite elaborate and solemn.
Therefore, although in a rush, this was a night marriage.
Still, Lan Cuo insisted that the other side’s ceremonies be not at all diminished.
So, when Ang Family’s wedding procession finally grandly arrived, it was already past three in the morning, and Lan Cuo was starting to get impatient.
“Enough, take her away.”
Finally, when people arrived, he had no more patience, waved his hand, and ordered the bride to be taken away.
The fool heard and merrily stepped forward.
“Wife, hahaha… my wife…”
He was both dark and fat, drooling constantly, and when he approached Yin Hehe, he saw her kneeling, her beautiful appearance subdued.
In a sudden move, he lunged at her.
It was at that moment that a bullet suddenly flew in from outside the door!
“Bang!”
Blood splattered everywhere!
The fool, just like a smashed watermelon, collapsed to the ground lifeless in an instant.
“Ah! Murder, murder!”
“Help, help!”
“…”
In that instant, the piercing screams and cries of women filled the entire criminal den, a sound laden with immense irony!
A crime organization that made a living from killing.
And now they were the ones crying murder?
Sheng Siyuan, with a gun in his hand, stepped into the hall he had just visited the night before, as if he were the Grim Reaper emerging from the darkness.
“My son! My boy!”
Just then, Ang arrived. Entering, he saw his idiot son on the ground and, like a madman, threw himself forward, crying and wailing.
Sheng Siyuan paid him no attention.
It was only when he entered and saw Lan Cuo, still standing there in a daze, not yet recovered, that he raised his gun and aimed it at the biggest mob boss in Southeast Asia.
“Ah!!”
In an instant, more screaming erupted in the hall.
Dozens of Tulan Society members appeared behind Lan Cuo, weapons raised and aimed at the young man.
The man sneered at the sight.
Suddenly, the synchronized, uniform footsteps behind him sounded through the night sky, and soon, all present saw rows of camouflaged figures appear outside the hall.
Their weapons were all aimed inside.
Not to mention the steadily approaching roar of fighter jets overhead.
Lan Cuo: “…”
“Lan Cuo, I told you, if she’s missing a single hair by dawn, I’ll make your entire Tulan Society pay with their lives!”
The man, whose eyes reflected no hint of humanity upon seeing the woman kneeling on the ground, a puppet devoid of any reaction, let his murderous intent surge.
“Bang!”
The matriarch sitting at the head collapsed, clutching her chest.
“Mom…”
Upon seeing this, Tiya let out a cry of alarm.
However, in the next moment, it was her turn to face the bullet. The trigger was pulled, and had it not been for the maid beside her who suddenly dragged her away, she certainly would have been dead too.
“Sheng Siyuan!”
Watching this scene, finally, Lan Cuo, his face ashen, clenched his teeth and spoke up.
“You want to kill my daughter, and you think I don’t even have the right to protect her?” he retorted, shocked and furious.
Protect?
The moment those words were spoken, the man in front of him seemed to hear the punchline of an enormous joke.
“Lock her up and inject her with Substance D! That’s protection!!” he roared like a wild beast at the animal before him.
Yes, he had finally figured it out.
The woman was so abnormal when he had visited at night because these heartless bastards had injected her with something.
She was a lawyer, for heaven’s sake!
The man’s eyes completely filled with blood-red fury.
“Bang, bang!”
Once again, the trigger was pulled twice in rapid succession.
In an instant, Lan Cuo, standing there, let out a pained scream as his two shot-through legs could no longer support him, and he heavily collapsed to the ground.
“Also, who told you I was going to kill her? Lan Cuo, do you really think she is your daughter?”
Suddenly, the man, now completely deranged, stepped forward until he was in front of the woman.
Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Finally Took Off Her Mask By Myself Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Finally Took Off Her Mask By Myself Lan Cuo stared blankly.
What did this mean? If she wasn’t his daughter, then who was she?
His gaze locked onto the man who had walked up to his daughter. It was at that moment that he saw the man reach out towards her face.
“Sheng Siyuan, what are you doing?”
“President!”
Almost simultaneously, the sound of Xu Guannan’s voice came from behind.
He was shocked, urgent, worried…
He even took a few steps forward, wanting to stop him, to think carefully before making this decision.
But it was no use.
The man, whose patience had been exhausted, finally tore the disguise mask off the woman after everything that had happened that night.
“Ow…”
The pain from being torn brought her to a slight reaction.
She whimpered.
However, even more shocking was the reaction of the people in the hall; they stared dumbfounded at the face abruptly revealed to them, their minds blasted by the revelation, unable to respond for a long time.
It was an incredibly beautiful face.
Even now, pale with abnormality, but her fine features and delicate contours were still evident.
Lan Yi wasn’t even comparable by a factor of ten.
“How could this be? Who is she?”
“Yeah, she’s actually not Lan Yi, then why did she impersonate her? Lan Yi is so ugly, isn’t her current face beautiful?”
“…”
The people throughout the hall, upon regaining their senses, showed expressions of disbelief.
They discussed and speculated…
The huge shock made them even forget the danger, including Lan Cuo.
“Who on earth is she?”
Blood streaming down his legs, he knelt on the ground, staring at the unfamiliar face and asking in astonishment and anger.
But he saw that the man didn’t answer, instead, upon tearing off the thin disguise mask and seeing her hands instinctively attempting to grasp her face from pain, he immediately reached out and caught her.
“Don’t move.”
His tone was gentle to the extreme.
That voice, completely different from the man who had just killed.
The woman couldn’t move, only struggling non-stop until the man reached out again to touch her face of his own accord.
She then leaned her face against him as if she had grasped a lifeline.
The man suddenly shuddered all over!
“Yin Hehe?”
“Ow…” She actually responded.
In an instant, the man knelt in front of her, feeling as if something in his chest had split open.
A torrent surged from within, shaking his whole body.
Even the most tough and indomitable men have a weakness in the depths of their hearts, and for the president of Shengshi Group, clearly, this woman was his Achilles’ heel.
Lan Cuo, realizing belatedly, finally understood something.
“She is… his ex-wife?”
“Yes!” Xu Guannan, holding a gun, stood in front of them and answered on their behalf.
“That year, your daughter ran away from her wedding and was saved by my wife along the way, but later, you used my wife’s life to threaten, and still successfully captured your daughter back, didn’t you?”
“But… but…”
Lan Cuo wanted to say, yet all these years, the name Lan Yi had been appearing abroad.
However, as he tried to continue, he found he had no more words to say.
Yes, back then, his daughter had actually already died.
He had her captured and handed over to the Ang Family, and on that night, Lan Yi committed suicide; he had even ordered people to collect her body.
How could a Lan Yi suddenly return now, and he had actually believed it?
“Lan Cuo, you never really cared who your daughter was, you only cared if the person was of use to you. Five years ago, the real Lan Yi was driven to her death by you, and five years later, my wife was captured back while posing as your daughter. What you valued was her ability and her name that was worth its weight in gold!”
“Do you really think you regarded her as your daughter? You didn’t, you were just thrilled to have gained a very valuable pawn,”
Xu Guannan ruthlessly pierced through the pretense of the hypocrite.
He laid bare his darkest side, denouncing him for his willingness to call a deer a horse and stop at nothing to serve his own interests.
Lan Cuo’s face turned green on the spot from the scolding.
But he dared not retort.
Because at this moment, his entire Tulan Society had fallen into the hands of the other, and his own legs had been broken.
Lan Cuo slowly closed his eyes.
“Xu Guannan, go inform the colonel that we can wrap things up here,”
Indeed, when Sheng Siyuan picked up Yin Hehe from the ground, enveloped once more by a surge of murderous intent, he only gave that one order.
In an instant, as the words fell, along with Xu Guannan firing a shot into the air.
“Bang!”
Lan Cuo, looking upwards, saw the buzzing sound dive straight down from above.
“Ahh—”
“Boom!”
A huge fireball rose into the air over the mountain top.
That night, the entire Tulan Society was destroyed, with the intense sounds of gunfire and the raging flames continuing until dawn without cease.
Come daylight, Guo Su from the capital also arrived with his people.
“President, the lieutenant just called and said that since Guo Su has arrived, he won’t make any more moves. After all, Henry has already died by his gun,”
Xu Guannan was on the phone when Sheng Siyuan sat in the hospital room, quietly gazing at the woman lying in the bed.
Without even blinking his eyes.
“Understood.”
In the face of this news, his only response was a mechanical reply.
After hanging up the phone, soon, the doctor, who had finally arrived for the day’s work, also entered the ward.
“Mr. Sheng, the blood test results for your wife have come back, and here… we still suggest that you send her to a specialized detox center, I’m sorry!”
Unexpectedly, these were the first words out of the doctor’s mouth.
The man who had been sitting stoically by the bed for several hours heard this and suddenly looked up.
“What do you mean? Why should she be sent there?”
“Mr. Sheng, according to the test results, your wife… has a very high level of ‘D’ substance in her blood. If I’m not mistaken, they must have injected it with a needle, and in a large dose at once,”
Seeing that the man still did not understand, the doctor dared to explain further.
The room fell silent.
In that momentary silence, the doctor stood as if the whole room had frozen over.
Deadly still!
“Mr. Sheng… Mr. Sheng?”
“Thud!”
Finally, there was a reaction.
The man sprang from his chair in one swift motion, and the next second, with a forceful sweep of the chair aside, he bolted out like a beast gone completely mad, his eyes bloodshot.
Before long, a black sedan roared away from the hospital.
—
The local police station.
Xu Guannan was here, already preparing to leave.
“Mr. Xu, three of Lan Cuo’s lieutenants have been killed, and one has escaped. That was a minor leader; he wasn’t of much significance,”
Guo Su personally reported to him during the handover, and seeing that he was about to leave, even made a point of bringing over a casualty list from the Tulan Society.
That person had sought out Guo Su just a few days ago.
Of course, now to dissociate himself, he would certainly do his utmost to handle this matter.
Xu Guannan flipped through the list.
“What about his family members? Why don’t I see them on the list?”
He suddenly asked.
Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Who is the murderer? Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Who is the murderer? “His family,”
General Guo Su immediately produced another list.
“Here it is. Lan Cuo’s first wife died under Mr. Sheng’s gunfire, and his second wife is Lan Yi’s mother. As for the other two wives and their children, I have them locked up. Unfortunately, there’s a mistress I couldn’t find.”
“Mistress?”
Xu Guannan, who was looking through the list, turned his head to look at him.
General Guo Su nodded: “Yes, she was just brought back from a casino not long ago. Take a look, it’s this name.”
He pointed at the name on the list.
Only then did Xu Guannan take notice, and he stared intently.
“Lin Shuang?”
His eyes suddenly widened.
How could it be this name? Was it a coincidence? But Lin Shuang was supposedly killed by Yin Beixiao in Jiangbei.
Xu Guannan was stunned for several seconds.
Yet, always cautious, he asked once more, “General, do you have a photo of this woman?”
“I don’t have that. But since Lan Cuo’s family is locked up, we can go in and ask; that should tell us.”
“Right!”
Xu Guannan was reminded.
Immediately, he followed General Guo Su back into the police station where they found the incarcerated Lan Family members.
“Lin Shuang? I know her, that bitch actually ran away? All those ideas were suggested by her to my mother, and in the end, she even escaped?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the prison and met Lan Cuo’s wives and children, Tiya, the third daughter, immediately spat out her words with venomous hatred.
Xu Guannan’s eyes flashed with a fierce intensity.
“You’re saying, all the torment inflicted on our madam was this woman’s idea?”
“Yes!”
Tiya admitted without hesitation.
“Moreover, a few days ago when Lan Yi and my dad went to the capital, it was she who sought my mom and persuaded her to send someone to the capital to act against Lan Yi. That’s why my mom injected Lan Yi with Substance D, which left her in a dazed state during my dad’s business meeting with General Guo Su, ultimately ruining their affairs.”
Filled with resentment, Tiya spilled all the past incitements Lin Shuang had suggested to the main madam.
Xu Guannan was so enraged that his veins were bulging.
“This wretched woman, who is she really? Why did she want to poison my madam like that? Do you have a photo of her?”
He asked, word by word.
But upon hearing about a photo, the third miss shook her head.
“No, she never took photos.”
“What did you say? She never took photos?” Xu Guannan’s suspicion was piqued by this statement.
What kind of woman would dislike taking photos?
Don’t all young women nowadays like to take selfies?
Xu Guannan left.
He planned to visit Lan Cuo, who was incarcerated separately, but just then, Sheng Siyuan had already come knocking.
“President, why have you come?”
As Xu Guannan stepped out of the police station, he was startled by the sight of this man radiating an aura of deadly coldness.
“Where are those beasts? Lan Cuo? I want to kill them all!”
Indeed, no sooner had he arrived than he pulled out his gun, ready to storm inside.
Xu Guannan hurriedly stopped him.
“President, what has happened? The Tulan Society is already gone, all of Lan Cuo’s men are dead, and you’ve crippled him yourself. He’s now a disabled man locked up; President, who else do you want to kill?”
“Who injected her? Who was it?”
He was like a vengeful ghost crawling out of Hell.
At that moment, his ferocious and terrifying expression made everyone shiver with fear.
No one had ever seen such a horrifying person.
“Mr. Sheng, we have just interrogated Lan Cuo’s family members, and they confessed. It was done by Lan Cuo’s lover, whose name is Lin Shuang!”
General Guo Su was also frightened.
He immediately rushed to speak out.
“Lin Shuang?”
As soon as this name was mentioned, the man’s reaction was the same as Xu Guannan’s initial one, his pupils contracted instantly.
“Which Lin Shuang?”
He asked in return, his irises roiling with an ominous foreboding that made everyone’s scalp tingle.
Xu Guannan immediately replied, “We don’t have her photo here. I was about to ask Lan Cuo. President, would you like to come along?”
“…”
Without a moment’s hesitation,
this man, already shrouded in murderous intent so dense that not a glimpse of clarity could be seen, turned and got into the car.
About ten minutes later, in the special hospital where prisoners were held.
When the two kicked open the door of the hospital room, Lan Cuo, lying on the bed with both legs broken, shuddered with fright.
“Sheng Siyuan? What are you…”
“Lan Cuo, I ask you, who on earth is your lover Lin Shuang?”
The tall figure emerged step by step from the entrance of the ward, his presence sharp and formidable as if he were a dark emperor of the night.
Lan Cuo’s face paled even more.
“Lin Shuang? I took her back from the casino. That’s right, now I remember. She told me you were her enemy.”
This former underworld boss of Southeast Asia finally recalled this.
As his words fell, before Sheng Siyuan could erupt, a gleam of sharp light flashed through Xu Guannan’s eyes.
He swiftly approached the bedside.
“What do you mean? Our President is her enemy?”
“Yes, your ex-wife’s identity, she was the one who told me about it. She said my daughter became your housekeeper, and later, to avoid my pursuit, she tried every means to seduce you, wanting to become Mrs. Lu.
In the end, when you discovered she was inciting Shengshi’s shareholders to seize power, she panicked and fled… This bitch! I’ve been deceived by her!!”
Lan Cuo fully recalled everything that had occurred in his room with Lin Shuang the previous night.
Finally, he realized belatedly that he had been played by that woman.
“This bitch, I’m going to kill her! Kill her!!” He howled hysterically on the bed.
Asia’s once formidable underworld boss ended up with his family destroyed by a woman.
Indeed, his heart would be filled with bone-deep hatred!
Xu Guannan watched this middle-aged man who had gone mad, and after a long while, he turned back to look at his BOSS behind him.
“President, we can now confirm that it’s Lin Huanqi’s daughter. I’ll go catch her right now.”
“Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will bring her before me!”
The man added, his fierce, bloodthirsty eyes staring over, full of chilling terror and dread, more ominous than the storm outside the window.
Lin Shuang, he would make sure she had no place to be buried!
“Buzz… buzz…”
As the two men left the hospital room, Sheng Siyuan’s phone rang.
He mechanically took it and held it to his ear.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Sheng, there’s trouble. The lady’s drug addiction has acted up.”
From the other end of the phone, the voice of the vice-president of the branch company came through, along with the unnatural howling and screaming of a woman.
In an instant, Sheng Siyuan’s mind went blank, and he sprinted out.
D-drug, if it’s the first consumption and exceeds 3 grams, a person will die.
And the level detected in Yin Hehe’s blood not long ago was already over two points, which meant that apart from being addicted, her life was also at risk.
Sheng Siyuan ran all the way, fear in his mind like he had never felt before!
Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Don’t worry, I will avenge you! Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Don’t worry, I will avenge you! “Let me out! Ahhh!!!”
That was the terrifying wail that reached Sheng Siyuan’s ears when he returned to the hospital, before he even reached the ward area.
Indeed, it was a wail.
Just like an animal tied to the chopping board, it was a desperate and heart-wrenching shriek; so harrowing that Sheng Siyuan didn’t dare to proceed for a moment.
He was afraid to witness the woman’s miserable state.
Because, for so many years, his impression of her was either dignified and gracious, gentle and virtuous, or wise and composed, her amber eyes always twinkling with intelligence.
Sheng Siyuan moved forward step by step.
“Ahhhh—”
Another piercing scream.
In that ward, something had been overturned by her, making a loud noise.
Sheng Siyuan finally arrived.
At first glance, he saw a disheveled woman going mad inside, and the bed, chairs, cabinets… and so on, had all been smashed by her.
But that was secondary.
What really made his heart feel as though it was being fiercely gripped was after the woman had vented her rage, the pain inside her body, like tens of thousands of ants gnawing at her, made her fall to the ground and start curling up and trembling…
“Quick… give it to me, give it to me… please, I’m begging you!”
“…”
Sheng Siyuan was grinding his teeth so hard they were almost bleeding.
“Mr. Sheng, you’re finally here!”
At the critical moment, the doctor arrived, greeting him from his side.
Sheng Siyuan immediately turned and grabbed the doctor by the collar.
“Why aren’t you going in to save her? Don’t you see she’s in agony?”
He roared, his terrifying gaze as if he wanted to skin the doctor alive.
The doctor was so frightened that he trembled all over; he hurriedly explained, “Mr. Sheng, she… she’s having a D-grade episode. I told you, we don’t have the medicine here, especially the high-purity stuff that she needs, we’re really powerless!”
“Mr. Sheng, please calm down.”
Fortunately, at this time, the vice president of the branch company was also present. Seeing the president lose control like this, he quickly stepped forward to pull him aside.
Only then did the man catch his breath and was pulled to one side, panting.
“Mr. Sheng, he’s right. For things like this, only specialized facilities can handle it. You’d better take your wife back home quickly; in our country, such specialized institutions have better technology,” the vice president advised hurriedly after he saw that Sheng had calmed down a bit.
Meanwhile, the doctor took advantage of this moment, rushing in with two nurses to inject Yin Hehe with a sedative as she convulsed and trembled on the floor.
That was the best this hospital could do.
Some ten minutes later, in another clean and tidy ward, Sheng Siyuan sat by the hospital bed, looking at the woman on the bed who had finally fallen into a peaceful sleep.
Suddenly, he lowered his head, his hands limply resting on his knees, and for a very long time, he did not raise his head again.
The only thing visible was the slight shaking of his shoulders!
This was his guilt.
If that day, in Provincial City, he hadn’t cold-heartedly indulged her, perhaps, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Or if, back then in M country, she hadn’t risked her life to save him, she wouldn’t have ended up in this state today.
“Yin Hehe, you’re really foolish. Why would you save me like that? Does a scum like me deserve your sacrifice?”
He choked up, speaking his sins in a place where no one could hear or see.
He truly couldn’t forgive himself.
This pitiful woman had even borne him three children.
“Buzz… Buzz… ”
The phone vibrated against him once more.
He paused for a while, and after a long moment, he took the cell phone out of his pocket.
“Hello?”
“President, Lin Shuang has been found. It turns out she was rescued by her parents. The knife that Yin Beixiao wielded that day didn’t hit her vitals. Lin Huanqi stole her away from the morgue and brought her here,” the call was from Xu Guannan.
The man listened, and all the sorrow and guilt gradually calmed down, leaving only a chilling coldness in those frost-covered eyes, more terrifying than Hell itself.
“Bring her here.”
“Yes!”
Xu Guannan hung up the phone.
A moment later, the man in the hospital room also stood up from his chair. He straightened his clothes, even carefully fastening each button on his shirt.
Only then did he look down tenderly at the woman lying on the hospital bed.
“Don’t worry, I’m going to avenge you right now. Whatever she did to you, I’ll make her pay back a thousandfold. Just wait here nicely, okay?”
His last note sounded almost indulgently affectionate.
The woman on the bed did not move.
However, she stirred slightly when the man bent down, his lips touching her forehead like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Her dense, long eyelashes fluttered while shut.
Sheng Siyuan left the room.
Before long, just when he had lit a cigarette amidst the chaotic mess of the patient’s room, the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside, followed by the muffled struggling sounds of a woman.
Xu Guannan finally arrived with Lin Shuang.
“Go inside, don’t you want to meet the president? He’s already waiting for you in there,” Xu Guannan told the woman as he pushed open the door of the hospital room.
Instantly, seeing herself released, all the blood drained from the woman’s face, and she nearly collapsed at the hospital room’s entrance.
No, she didn’t want to see this man now.
In the past, she dreamed of it, yearned day and night, almost sick with longing.
But not anymore.
Because she knew that for her, this man now represented the most horrifying Hell.
“Ah—”
Alas, she was still brutally kicked inside.
Lin Shuang fell to the ground.
Looking up, she saw the man sitting in the center of the hospital room, legs crossed at the knee, waiting for her.
“A… Ayuan…”
She shook like a leaf in the wind, but at the first glimpse of the man’s stunning features, she couldn’t help calling out his name.
The result, as soon as the word left her lips, the man nonchalantly grabbed the ashtray next to him and smashed it into her mouth.
“Thud!”
Before she could even make a sound, she fell to the ground, covering her mouth which was gushing blood.
“Ayuan is also a name you can call?”
After the act, disgust rose in the man’s eyes, and he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his hands as if the ashtray he had just used to strike had dirtied him.
“Lin Shuang, you’re quite capable, managing to escape from Yin Beixiao with your life.”
The man stood up and walked across the debris-strewn floor to the window.
“Before Yin Beixiao made his move that day, you wanted to tell me that Sheng Xi is not your child, but Yin Hehe’s, right?”
He lit another cigarette and spoke slowly, gazing at the view outside.
In an instant, Lin Shuang, curled up on the floor, shivered fiercely as she recovered from the extreme pain in her mouth.
“Five years ago, using a fake pregnancy, you successfully got me to drive Yin Hehe away. Then, you found a pretext to go abroad for your pregnancy, but in fact, you were just waiting for Yin Hehe to give birth so you could take Sheng Xi, who was born first, and bring him back to the Sheng Family, weren’t you?”
Unexpectedly, the man had investigated the events of five years ago thoroughly.
Lin Shuang, seeing the writing on the wall, raised her head to look at the man.
“You never touched me; I had no choice but to think of this method.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, and about driving Yin Hehe away—Sheng Siyuan, did I really make you do it? Those two years, it was clearly you who despised her, hated her for the marriage transaction. Why has the chief culprit now become me?”
The woman even dared to question him, to argue on her behalf!
The man’s gaze narrowed slightly.
Chapter 230: Chapter 230: What Exactly Are Your Feelings for Yin Hehe? Chapter 230: Chapter 230: What Exactly Are Your Feelings for Yin Hehe? “Indeed, I admit that for those two years, I loathed that marriage, and I loathed Yin Hehe.”
After several seconds of silence, Sheng Siyuan finally spoke.
Surprisingly, he didn’t explode in anger, but answered the question with an equally calm tone.
Lin Shuang was astonished.
She looked up at him, unable to believe that this man, known for his bad temper, could remain so calm and collected when she posed such a sharp question.
“However, since her return this time, I’ve done a lot of reflection, Lin Shuang, I don’t actually loathe her, what I loathe is the life I can’t control!”
“What did you say?” The woman who had fallen to the ground turned even paler.
“You don’t loathe her?”
“Yes!”
Sheng Siyuan calmly looked out the window.
“I’ve had heart disease since I was young, and in addition to living cautiously every day, I’ve had to face whatever my parents arranged for me. To get treatment, I was sent to live with my grandmother in the capital for ten years, and to save my life, I was forced to accept a heart transplant from someone else.
I had no power to resist, otherwise I’d be dead!”
He turned around, and in his eyes, at that moment, there was an unexpected sense of relief and ease.
Lin Shuang heard the sound of her own heart sinking completely into the abyss.
“So, when Yin Hehe donated bone marrow to you and used that as leverage to marry you, that was also because of the life you couldn’t control?”
“Is it not?”
The man looked at her indifferently.
“If I hadn’t had a heart condition, would I have needed her to donate marrow to save me?” he asked calmly in return.
In an instant, the woman who had fallen to the ground burst into manic laughter, as if she had been greatly provoked, her face smeared with blood.
“Sheng Siyuan, what about me? What about me?”
She asked in anguish!
If his loathing for that woman was due to his uncontrollable life,
then what did she, the woman he had actively accepted, amount to? She had no direct connection with his tragic life, did she?
“You?”
After a few seconds, the man finally looked down at her and spoke.
“Actually, you were just my excuse to escape reality!”
“…”
For a long time, Lin Shuang stared at the man, completely shocked and unresponsive.
What a way he had with words.
To escape reality, an excuse!!
In other words, from the very beginning, Sheng Siyuan never loved her. His attention to her and keeping her by his side were merely ways to find an outlet for his oppressed life.
Since she was an excuse to escape reality.
What about Yin Hehe then?
Five years ago, he loathed her so much, even if the real root of it wasn’t her, it still couldn’t be that in just a few months after five years, this man would grow to care for her this much, could it?
Suddenly, the woman realized something.
In a moment, she looked up at the man again, her voice trembling.
“So, what you’re saying is, those two years, you never truly faced Yin Hehe’s place in your heart?”
“…Yes!”
He hesitated for a moment.
But in the end, he admitted it frankly.
Lin Shuang went insane.
Acting as if deranged, she suddenly scrambled up from the ground and lunged at the man, laughing wildly, her face covered in blood.
“You’re lying! You cheat, you clearly despised her so much, how could you possibly like her? Is it because the heart in your body is that of her ex-boyfriend’s? So now your blood, your heart, your brain… they’ve all become someone who loves her!”
She charged at Sheng Siyuan like a madwoman, pointing at the location of his heart as she spoke.
Sheng Siyuan’s pupils shrank sharply!
Finally, a thick sense of murderous intent exploded from him, and he kicked her in the chest with one foot.
“Ah—”
The woman let out a piercing scream.
She was thrown backwards.
Xu Guannan and others, who had been waiting outside, heard the noise and immediately pushed the door open and rushed in.
“President?”
“Inject her with the drug. Whatever she injected into Yin Hehe, now pay her back double!”
The man said so with a cruelty that was also bloody.
Upon hearing this, Xu Guannan immediately took out the prepared substance and grabbed the woman.
“No, no…”
Seeing the cold needle, the woman sobered up quickly and began shaking violently, retreating in fear.
But how could Xu Guannan let her go?
He thought of his wife lying in the next room, a wise light always twinkling in her eyes, now tormented into this state by this wretched woman.
With one swift motion, he plunged the sharp needle into her arm.
“Ah—”
“Listen up, from now on, I will inject you every day. I won’t let you die, but I will make your life a living hell until you turn into a complete junkie. Then, I’ll throw you into the red-light district here and let you truly enjoy the rest of your life.”
Xu Guannan said to the woman with each word sounding like it was spoken by an evil spirit, as he pushed the liquid into her arm.
“Ah!!!!”
In an instant, the woman let out an utterly desperate and piercing cry.
She collapsed onto the floor.
Death was not an option; that would have been too kind to her.
The consequences she had to bear would be a lifetime of living death!
Sheng Siyuan came out of the room, finally, he felt much more relieved.
“President, we’ve made the arrangements back in the country, right in the border city next to this place. The facilities and medical personnel are all top-notch; you can rest assured.”
Xu Guannan followed behind him.
As the two strolled back leisurely, he briefly mentioned the arrangements with the domestic addiction treatment hospital.
Sheng Siyuan didn’t respond.
He turned his head toward the ward.
But to his surprise, during the short time he was out, the woman in the ward was no longer on the bed. Wearing a hospital gown, she stood by the window.
At that moment, she stared blankly below.
“Yin Hehe!”
His mind went blank for a moment.
By the time he reacted, he had already rushed in, heading straight towards the woman.
“Don’t come any closer!”
Unexpectedly, the woman reacted quite swiftly. Before he could grab her, she had already turned around abruptly.
Siyuan immediately dared not move even a fraction more.
“What are you doing? Don’t… don’t do anything rash!”
He stared at her, his handsome face, devoid of color, overtaken with fear that couldn’t be hidden.
Yin Hehe’s mouth twitched a few times.
She wanted to say something.
But before she could speak, as she gazed at the man, it was as if something inside had collapsed, and tears started gushing out.
“Sheng Siyuan, you… you really came to rescue me…”
“Yes!”
The man immediately admitted.
“I came to rescue you. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize something had happened to you, I was late.”
The once arrogant and self-confident man, at this moment, shrouded in the fear of death, admitted his mistake without hesitation.
He also admitted his worry for her.
Yin Hehe’s tears fell even more fiercely…
