Chapter 53 He saw the camera footage (Please vote!)

Blood.

A blinding red.

The images on the screen were so exaggerated they resembled those in a low-quality horror movie.

But Fu Beichen knew that all of this was real.

It happened to her.

His hand, which was resting on the edge of the table, suddenly clenched. The veins on the back of his hand bulged and twisted menacingly.

The knuckles turned a ghastly white from the force applied.

Lin Qi stood a few steps behind him, head down, but his eyes dared not leave Fu Beichen's tense back.

The air seemed to freeze.

The only sounds were the occasional faint noises coming from the screen and the man's increasingly heavy breathing.

Fu Beichen's gaze was fixed on the screen.

He saw it.

The disgusting lizard, sticky and slimy, crawled across the ground, onto her body, and slowly moved.

Her body trembled slightly, and she gently closed her eyes.

That's all.

Fu Beichen's heart felt as if it were being gripped and tightened by an invisible hand.

pain.

A dense, persistent pain.

Scene change.

That deranged madman, holding a dagger, first pressed it against her face, then moved it to her chest.

A button.

It was opened up.

The second one.

It was also picked open.

The movements were slow, mocking, and full of insult.

Fu Beichen felt as if the blood in his body was flowing backward, and a cold, destructive rage surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

On the screen, her bare, snow-white skin was on display.

But her face remained expressionless, devoid of humiliation or tears.

Those eyes stared blankly in some unknown direction, as if their soul had already been ripped away.

Until the assailant slashed her arm, bright red blood flowed from her body.

The ground was stained red, a shocking sight.

Fu Beichen clenched his teeth so tightly that they clicked, and he could feel a throbbing pain in his temples.

From beginning to end.

She didn't cry.

She did not beg for mercy.

Even though she was treated that way, even though she was covered in blood, her spine remained straight.

This damn stubbornness!

Like the dullest knife, it repeatedly cut into Fu Beichen's heart.

He would rather she cry, rather she beg for mercy, rather she break down like a normal person!

It's better than that kind of forbearance, using silence to fight against everything, and bearing everything with one's pride.

This made him even more heartbroken!

The pain was so intense I could hardly breathe.

"Smack!"

Fu Beichen couldn't bear to watch any longer.

He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it hard on the table.

The solid wood tabletop emitted a dull, loud thud, causing the screen to vibrate.

He suddenly stood up, his chair sliding backward a great distance, shattering the deathly silence of the study with a ripping sound.

His chest heaved violently.

His eyes were churning with towering waves, a storm capable of destroying the world.

reason?

The moment I saw her bleeding, I burned her to ashes!

Now, only violence occupies his mind and body!

Only murderous intent!

The only thing she could do was to crush the insane thoughts of those who hurt her to dust!

At this moment, the anger in his heart had completely extinguished his reason.

"Find the person behind this, and I want him... dead!"

Lin Qi quickly responded and stepped forward, saying, "Miss Jiang has arrived at the company; she's insisting on seeing you."

Fu Beichen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Prepare the car!"

Around ten o'clock, Fu Beichen stepped into the office.

Jiang Kexin was eating breakfast, and the coffee table was filled with a sumptuous array of snacks.

Upon seeing him, she immediately sprang up from the sofa, a sweet smile on her face and a coquettish voice.

"Brother Beichen, why are you only arriving now!"

She quickly stepped forward, her arm naturally reaching out to wrap around his.

"I've been waiting for you for a whole hour. As punishment, you have to have breakfast with me!"

Fu Beichen stopped in his tracks, and the air pressure around him suddenly dropped.

He turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on her face, scrutinizing her.

With a swift movement, he mercilessly shook off her little hand that was trying to cling to him.

He spoke, but his voice was devoid of warmth.

"Jiang Kexin, I have a question for you."

He took a step closer, his eyes sharp as knives.

"That Zhu Yongmei, did you already know what she had done? Is that why you came here specifically to beg me to release her?"

Jiang Kexin's smile froze for a moment. She quickly adjusted her expression, revealing just the right amount of bewilderment.

"I thought it was something huge. It's just that... servant in the Imperial Garden!"

Fu Beichen's expression turned even uglier.

Jiang Kexin continued to explain, speaking at a moderate pace.

She said the maid was her cousin, who had saved her mother before. This incident happened because she stole more than 30,000 yuan from her employer, and afterwards, her family came to her every day crying and begging for help.

She was so annoyed that she mentioned it to him.

If he cares about this, she can simply return the person to him.

Give it back!

Seeing that she spoke with such seriousness, Fu Beichen wondered if... she really knew nothing about the real crimes committed by Zhu Yongmei.

He had known Jiang Kexin for so many years, and she was indeed spoiled and willful, and it was common for her to throw tantrums occasionally.

But to say that she is malicious and capable of planning or participating in such things... seems rather unlikely.

At least, she didn't have the brains or the guts.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Jiang Kexin pressed closer, "How about I apologize with a kiss, then you won't be angry!"

After saying that, Jiang Kexin brought her face closer!

Fu Beichen lowered his eyes, looking at her face so close to his.

He took a step back, a strange sense of disgust rising in his heart.

He never acted like this towards her, but today he was behaving a bit strangely.

Jiang Kexin opened her eyes and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'll just have a smoke."

Fu Beichen lit a cigarette, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and started smoking, his gaze still fixed on the green balcony of the apartment not far away.

I wonder what she's doing now? Is she eating properly?

Why did I suddenly think of Gu Xingnian? A wave of irritation washed over me.

He shook his head, trying to shake her out of his mind.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Qi pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Fu, Miss Sheng has arrived."

Fu Beichen turned to look at Jiang Kexin, "Do you still want to join that Pear Blossom drama crew?"

Jiang Kexin's eyes lit up. "Of course, but Ma Xiaoxiao keeps bothering me. The screenwriter is also a bit dissatisfied with me because of what happened before, so we haven't decided who to use yet."

His tone was firm, "Don't worry, you will get what you want!"

Jiang Kexin was overjoyed, "Really, I knew Brother Beichen was the best to me."

He never interferes in her affairs, but this time he actually offered to help, so it should be a sure thing.

"Okay, I'll have someone take you home. I'll talk to you again later when I'm done with my work."

Jiang Kexin smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, then remember to eat breakfast, don't go hungry."

She flew away like a butterfly.

Lin Qi shuddered when he saw her like this.

She... passed the test just like that?

Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.

Before Lin Qi could go out to open the door, it was pushed open, and Sheng Weiwei stormed in angrily.

"Fu Beichen, where is Niannian? Where did you hide her? Where is she hurt?"

Fu Beichen frowned as he looked at this woman. She didn't look like a rich young lady at all. Gu Shao's life was not going to be easy from now on!

"She's fine, don't worry. I'll take good care of her, and once she's healed, I'll naturally send her back."

Sheng Weiwei stared at him fiercely and sneered.

"Fu Beichen, she's been by your side for three whole years. You haven't had a single meal with her, haven't accompanied her to a doctor's appointment, haven't celebrated a single birthday with her... What makes you think you can take good care of her now?"

Fu Beichen was speechless for a moment, unable to find a reason to refute.

Sheng Weiwei continued to raise the stakes, hurling insults at Fu Beichen, "Fu Beichen, you have no chance."

Fu Beichen waved his hand impatiently, "Throw it out."

"Fu Beichen, you even dare to hurt her only sister! I curse you to be impotent in the future!"

Fu Beichen's face instantly turned as black as charcoal!

Lin Qi covered his mouth, too scared to move. This Miss Sheng's mouth... is quite sharp!
