Xu Chaomu hid in Mo Shuifu’s embrace, catching fragments of speech.

For instance, this man’s name was Zhou Peitian, and he knew her third brother.

“President Zhou, I don’t need you to talk to me about favors, and I won’t speak to you about them either. Today, as long as I’m here, you can forget about taking Chaomu away.”

“Mo Shuifu, don’t think that because Shihan treats you well, you have someone to back you up. Let me tell you, you’re just one of his many women, easily discarded when he tires of you. Don’t take yourself too seriously!”

“Enough! Zhou Peitian, please don’t mention him. I have nothing to do with Shen Shihan anymore!”

Mo Shuifu’s eyes showed restraint and calm, but inside, she was grinding her teeth.

These days, no one mentioned Shen Shihan to her anymore. Just when she thought she was about to forget those painful memories, this man named Zhou Peitian came to reopen her wounds.

Wounds that were raw and bleeding.

She knew she was just one of Shen Shihan’s many women. She knew that being a woman meant eventually being cast aside when played out.

“Fine, I won’t mention this. Hand over Xu Chaomu to me.”

“Ha, no way. If we’re going to die, we’ll die together.” Mo Shuifu’s tone was resolute.

She would never abandon Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu looked up, her eyes still brimming with fear and terror.

Xu Chaomu looked at Zhou Peitian, her voice trembling, “Why are you abducting me? I don’t know you, I’ve never seen you before.”

“One encounter is a coincidence, two form familiarity. Now, don’t we know each other? Xu Chaomu, Miss Xu.”

“Why are you abducting me?” Xu Chaomu raised her voice.

“Why? You’ll find out, but not right now.”

“I won’t go with you, I can’t possibly go with you!” Xu Chaomu clung tightly to Mo Shuifu.

Mo Shuifu also furrowed her brows, “Zhou Peitian, I told you, I won’t abandon Chaomu. If it comes to it, we’ll both go down together.”

“Mo Shuifu, do you think you can outmatch me? Be sensible and step aside; otherwise, I’ll take you too!”

Having said that, Zhou Peitian didn’t waste any more words with them and reached out to pull Xu Chaomu.

He didn’t care that Xu Chaomu was injured; he was forcefully dragging her.

“Let me go, Zhou Peitian, let me go…” Xu Chaomu, eyes reddened, struggled.

Mo Shuifu pushed Zhou Peitian away, “Get out, don’t touch Chaomu!”

Zhou Peitian never liked dealing with women, especially troublesome ones.

He took out a gun from his pocket and instantly pressed it against Mo Shuifu’s temple.

“Xu Chaomu, will you come with me obediently, or not? Think carefully; guns don’t have eyes.”

Xu Chaomu immediately ceased her struggling, stunned.

A gun, this was a real gun.

“Chaomu, don’t go with him, this man is no good,” Mo Shuifu said coldly.

Zhou Peitian sneered in response, “It’s up to her; I’m not forcing her.”

Xu Chaomu compromised, raising her head from Mo Shuifu’s arms, her gaze distant, “Zhou Peitian, I’ll go with you.”

“If that’s the case, Zhou Peitian, take me too!” Mo Shuifu stated coldly.

She couldn’t possibly abandon Xu Chaomu, even if it meant death, they had to stay together. At least they would have each other’s support.

Zhou Peitian scoffed, “What sisterly love. Mo Shuifu, since you’re asking, how can I refuse? Get out of the car!”

Xu Chaomu, holding Mo Shuifu’s hand, exited the car together.

“Get in my car! No tricks!”

Xu Chaomu and Mo Shuifu both boarded the black Land Rover, defenseless and without recourse.

Zhou Peitian finally stowed his handgun and settled into the driver’s seat.

The car started, and Zhou Peitian drove them toward another warehouse.

“I’ve said it; don’t even think about escaping. If you provoke me, none of you will live,” Zhou Peitian warned them.

“Where are you taking us?” Mo Shuifu maintained some composure.

“You’ll know when we get there. Don’t ask so many questions, be quiet!”

Irritated, Zhou Peitian lit a cigarette. He was genuinely vexed, dragged out in the middle of the night to find people.

Soon, the Land Rover filled with smoke, and Xu Chaomu covered her nose, coughing repeatedly.

Xu Chaomu was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally, not even having the strength to speak. She clutched Mo Shuifu’s hand tightly.

“Chaomu, don’t be scared, it’s okay,” Mo Shuifu tried to console Xu Chaomu, despite feeling anxious herself.

The vehicle continued forward, Zhou Peitian remaining silent, solemnly smoking.

In the meantime, he made a phone call.

“Come and take your woman away; don’t say I don’t care about brotherly ties later. Your woman is such a nuisance.”

There was silence on the other end for a while, then followed by a low and frigid voice, “Mo Shuifu? How did she end up with you?”

“Ran into some trouble. Come and pick her up right away, the usual place; don’t hinder my business later.”

“Hmm.”

Perhaps because the car was so quiet, Xu Chaomu and Mo Shuifu could make out the voice on the phone.

“Third brother… Zhou Peitian, are you close with my third brother?” Xu Chaomu murmured.

Even if she was naive, she seemed to catch a hint of something.

This time, Zhou Peitian’s abduction of her, could it be related to her third brother?

A lump formed in her heart, the area around her heart ached faintly. Third brother… her third brother who cared for her so much, loved her so much… it must have nothing to do with him.

But suddenly, she remembered that day when she and Shen Shihan went for barbecue.

Shen Shihan asked her a question with a serious expression, “What would you do if one day you found out your third brother isn’t as kind, isn’t as good as you think?”

At that time, how could she have considered anything complex? She replied, “No matter if you’re good or not, you’re still my third brother. My dearest third brother, unique and irreplaceable.”

Then he told her, “Chaomu, don’t trust others so easily in the future.”

Don’t trust so easily… even if it’s her own third brother she’s lived with for eight years?

Xu Chaomu clutched her chest, feeling intermittent twinges of pain.

Third brother…

All along, her third brother had been very kind to her. Whenever Shen Chi scolded her, she would run to Shen Shihan, and every time, Shen Shihan would comfort her.

Whenever she wanted to hear a story and approached Shen Chi but got driven away, she would turn to Shen Shihan.

When she failed an exam and needed a parent’s signature, she went to Shen Shihan.

Back then, she ran into the western pavilion with the failed paper in hand, “Third brother, sign this for me!”

Shen Shihan would always smile and say, “Another failure?”

“Yeah.”

“Is your fourth brother not around?” Shen Shihan would tease her, knowing she didn’t dare seek Shen Chi out.

Whenever she went to Shen Chi, he would berate her mercilessly, telling her all she did was read Little Forbidden Book and never took anything seriously.

Afterward, Shen Chi would make her stay up late to do homework.

“How could I dare find him? To find him is to seek death.”
