Translator: 549690339

Xu Chaomu’s voice was hoarse and exhausted as she screamed.

Her head felt like it was about to explode as she let out a “wah” and burst into heart-wrenching sobs…

Flashes of images raced through her mind, her mother’s smiling face, the bright red glow of the sky during the fire, the first time she met Shen Chi in her life…

So many images were passing through her mind that she grabbed her hair, shaking her head in agony.

“Even you lied to me… you all have been deceiving me… you’ve treated me like a dispensable pet, never once considering my feelings, you’ve never given me any dignity…”

The cold rain hit her face as she clutched her hair desperately, feeling like she’d rather die than live this way.

Why did it have to be this way, she would rather have not met anyone eight years ago, she would rather have died with her mother…

Bai Man’s smile grew deeper and deeper; she had no intention of letting Xu Chaomu go.

She wanted to drive Xu Chaomu to her death; that way, no one would ever compete with her for Shen Chi again.

What was Xu Chaomu? Did she even deserve to like Shen Chi?

“Xu Chaomu, doesn’t it thrill you? Look at you, so in love with him, haha, do you realize how cheap you are? Loving the son of your enemy, your mother wouldn’t rest in peace if she knew, tell me, do you think your mother would hate you to death in the underworld…”

“No… it’s not like that… don’t say that anymore, please stop… mother…”

Xu Chaomu shook her head in agony, her nerves acutely stimulated.

This stimulus, wave after wave, was so intense it gave her an excruciating headache.

She… had fallen for the son of her mother’s murderer; she was utterly reprehensible, deserving of death…

The man named Shen Chi had deceived her, making her look like a fool…

And yet, she still stuck to him, clung to him, liked to call him fourth brother, even shamelessly stuck close to him.

But him, he watched her as one would watch a clown or a fool. Probably, he had been sneering inside, cursing her as an idiot a thousand times over.

To him, she meant nothing.

It was only she who mindlessly clung to him, calling him fourth brother, silently loving him for so many years…

He, just like Shen Shihan, was a liar, a liar!

He had her going in circles with his deceit; did he feel a sense of accomplishment watching her jump about like a foolish cat?

“Shen Chi… I hate you… I hate you…” She bit her lips, drawing blood.

The taste of blood spread in her mouth, and a fresh stream of crimson trickled down the corners of her lips.

Blood, mixed with the raindrops, fell on her clothes, leaving startling patches of red everywhere.

“Mumu! Mumu!” Shen Chi was beside himself with grief, “Let go, please don’t do this… do you have any idea how much this hurts me…”

“Shen Chi,” Bai Man said with a smile, “you’ve been deceiving her for so many years, you’re an absolutely sinful man. Look at her, she’s on the verge of a mental breakdown. Tell me, what will we do if she goes mad?”

“Bai Man, if anything happens to Chaomu, I will take your life!” Shen Chi radiated an icy aura.

“I told her the truth, she should be grateful to me, otherwise, she would have been in the dark all her life, how painful would that have been? She should thank me for letting her see the true faces of her ‘Auntie’ and ‘Fourth Brother’ in time. You see, you’re all beasts in human clothing, all you can do is deceive her.”

Once she finished speaking, Bai Man burst out laughing. Seeing Xu Chaomu in this state, she felt truly delighted.

Zhou Peitian heard every single word, uncovering this enormous secret.

However, what intrigued him the most was the diamond mine, the grudges between these three people were their own business!

“Shen Chi, are you going to hand over the contract or not? If you don’t make a decision soon, I’m afraid I might have to put a bullet in this girl’s head,” Zhou Peitian sneered.

Shen Chi’s lips were pressed tightly together; he remained silent.

He had made a decision; he would exchange the contract for Bai Man and his own life for Xu Chaomu’s.

Seeing that Shen Chi remained silent, Bai Man panicked, “Shen Chi, give them the contract! Let them release me! Don’t forget, you still owe the Bai Family a favor!”

“Alright…” Shen Chi finally spoke. He lifted his eyes, dark and profound, “Zhou Peitian, release Bai Man.”

“Shen Chi, I knew you loved me, I just knew it. I love you too, forever,” Bai Man was overjoyed.

“Fine, hand me the contract, let’s get that transfer document signed! I won’t make things difficult for Bai Man!” Zhou Peitian said coldly.

Standing outside for so long, he was practically frozen.

But at last, he had achieved his goal!

The contract! The contract for the diamond mine! His eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Shen Chi walked forward step by heavy, sluggish step.

His gaze never left Xu Chaomu; his heart bled for her. His chest felt as though it was being torn apart, an unbearable pain.

As he brushed past Bai Man’s side, he handed over the contract.

Zhou Peitian’s subordinate took it immediately, then tossed a voluntary transfer agreement at him to sign.

Xu Chaomu stood there dazed, like a fool, watching everything unfold, her eyes vacant and dilating more and more…

She had always known, Shen Chi didn’t care for her life.

Eight years, what else had been left between them in these eight years apart from deception?

Mutual disdain, he hated her, and she detested him.

Between them, there was nothing left.

Shen Chi picked up the pen to sign his name. He turned slowly to look at Bai Man.

“Bai Man, from now on, the Shen Family no longer owes the Bai Family anything.”

“Shen Chi, you still care about me, don’t you? You didn’t exchange the contract for that girl’s life. Do you realize, she will be heartbroken? Her beloved fourth brother, haha.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t speak, she just stood there like a puppet, motionless in the rain.

Shen Chi turned away, no longer giving Bai Man a glance.

He said calmly to Zhou Peitian, “Let her go.”

Zhou Peitian was still basking in the joy of obtaining the contract. He waved his hand, “Release her. I said I wouldn’t make it difficult for her. I, Zhou Peitian, am a man of my word.”

Upon hearing the command, Zhou Peitian’s subordinate untied Bai Man.

Bai Man finally gained her freedom, almost crying out loud.

She wrapped her arms around Shen Chi’s waist, crying on his back, “Shen Chi… I knew you cared for me, cared for our baby… Can we go home? Let’s go home together. I’ll have my mother cook for you, didn’t you say last time that you liked her cooking?”

Shen Chi said nothing, just pried Bai Man’s fingers off of him one by one.

Xu Chaomu was still in their grasp; he had to save her.

If the worst came to the worst, they would die together.

Zhou Peitian was still engrossed in the contract, indifferent even to the pouring rain.

The hand holding the gun had also relaxed, he probably thought Xu Chaomu couldn’t escape.

The sky was overcast, and the rain poured down without cease, soaking everyone to the bone.
