Shi Heng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

That smile looked particularly eerie under the dim light.

"Sometimes, a well-placed lie can have unexpected effects. This time, I will make those who plotted against Youbao pay a heavy price."

Shen Yuanbai only felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He responded in a dry voice: "Okay, Brother Heng, I'll do it right away."

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

I was afraid that if I stayed for another second, I would be swallowed by the endless darkness.

Shi Heng looked at the screen again, folded his hands on his abdomen, and his eyes became cold.

It seems like he is planning the next move.

…

Inside the bar, dim lights flickered in the ambiguous atmosphere.

In the dance floor, men and women danced closely together.

The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes, alcohol and cheap perfume.

Xia Ke frowned and walked through the crowd of people with dazed eyes and frivolous behavior.

Walk straight to the sloppy middle-aged man in the corner.

Her father, Xia Mantun.

"I'm here, what do you want?"

Xia Ke gritted her teeth, her voice full of anger and contempt.

He glanced around, and those disgusting scenes made him feel even more disgusted.

Xia Mantun raised his bearded face, revealed a flattering and greasy smile, and said ingratiatingly: "Chunhua, how do you talk to Daddy like that? Daddy misses you!"

Xia Ke snorted coldly, "Enough! I've told you so many times that my name is no longer Xia Chunhua, I'm Xia Ke now."

"Stop pretending. When you cruelly threw me into the orphanage, why didn't you miss me at all?"

"Three years ago, as soon as you found out I was living in the Han family, you eagerly came back to recognize your relatives. Don't you even look at your own behavior?"

Xia Mantun smiled awkwardly, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Keke, look at how successful you are now. The Han family is the richest family in Yuncheng. Dad was in trouble before and had no choice but to do that. Now our family should take care of each other, don't you think?"

"Take care?" Xia Ke's eyes widened with anger, and he slammed the table, causing the wine glass on the table to shake.

"Isn't it enough that I've taken care of you? You know how much money you've taken from me over the years."

"Three years ago, because of your entanglement, I didn't go to take care of Han Jingchen who was in a car accident. Instead, I chose to go abroad. Do you know how much I regret it?"

Xia Mantun shrank his neck, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his rogue look.

"Keke, my dear daughter, Daddy really ended up like this because he was trying to help you. Look how messed up this has become. I didn't want this to happen either."

"Don't want to?" Xia Ke raised her voice, becoming more and more excited.

"You were the one who designed that car accident, and now Gu Youran isn't dead, but you've dragged me into this mess!"

Xia Ke regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. Back then in the Dark Night Bar, she was blinded by jealousy and sent Gu Youran's video to the man in front of her for some unknown reason.

I fully expect that he can bring disgrace to Gu Youran, but I didn't expect that he would do more harm than good and make things a mess.

Xia Ke roared, "Look at what you've done! What do we do now?"

Xia Mantun's face was full of flattery, trying to comfort her, "Keke, don't be anxious."

"The driver took our money. He thought he had a terminal illness. To leave some money for his wife and son, he kept his mouth shut and would never tell anyone about it. Don't worry!"

Xia Ke snorted coldly, her eyes full of disappointment and disdain.

"Don't worry? How can I still trust you? From the beginning, I shouldn't have counted on you, a coward!"

Xia Mantun's face turned pale and red, but he still refused to give up and argue.

"Keke, give me another chance, I will definitely handle this matter well."

"Handled it?" Xia Ke looked like she had heard some huge joke.

"Don't you think you've hurt me enough? I'm warning you, if this gets out, you'll take the blame for everything."

"Otherwise, I won't let you off even if it means I'll fight to the death! I have nothing to lose anyway, so the worst that can happen is that we'll all go to hell together!"

Xia Mantun's eyes flashed a few times, the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart.

After a long silence, he sighed deeply, as if he had made a great decision, and spoke slowly.

"Keke, forget it, forget it. This is indeed my fault. I abandoned you in an orphanage when you were so young. I never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a single day. Now I can consider it as paying you back."

Xia Ke was very surprised.

She thought that this selfish and greedy man would continue to pester her, but she didn't expect to hear such an answer.

But the anger in her heart did not dissipate, she just looked at him coldly.

Xia Mantun raised his head, with a determination in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"If this really comes to light, I will take all the responsibility and won't implicate you."

Xia Ke raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a mocking smile, "I hope you will do what you say."

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

The sound of high heels stepping on the ground is particularly decisive in this noisy bar.

Xia Mantun looked at Xia Ke's departing back, and the regret and guilt in his eyes became more and more intense.

He knew that his promise might completely change his destiny.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice...

Xia Ke walked out of the bar with unsteady steps, feeling very confused.

The dim light from the street lamp stretched her lonely figure out long.

Han Jingchen's deliberate alienation during this period made her heart feel like it had sunk into an icy cave.

The life experience that she had never dared to touch in her heart was now becoming heavier and seemed to be about to crush her at any time.

Her father was a vagrant who spent his days idling and causing trouble, and her mother was a bar prostitute, and no one knew who she was.

Such a life experience is like an ugly scar, deeply engraved in the depths of her soul.

Her hands were tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, her knuckles were white, her body was trembling slightly, and every step she took seemed extremely difficult.

"Han Jingchen is already distancing himself from me. If he finds out about my background, then there's no hope at all."

This thought haunted her like a ghost.

Filled her with fear.

But Xia Ke was unwilling to give up.

The sweet scenes of my time with Han Jingchen in the past kept flashing through my mind.

His smile, his love.

They were all the light that Xia Ke tried desperately to grasp in this dark world.

How could she just give up like this?

no way!

…

The night was as dark as ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved, and there was no one on the dim streets.

Wang Fugui had just escaped from the detention center and was huddled in the shadows on the street corner.

At this time, he was dressed in rags and his hair was as messy as grass.

There was a vengeful gleam in his eyes as he stared at the end of the street.

The sound of footsteps coming from afar was particularly clear in the quiet night.
