Chapter 244 Never let her know

Leaving the others behind, Zhang Mo got into Bai Tiancheng's car alone.

Bai Tiancheng's car is a Lexus LS, understated and reserved, but with plenty of horsepower.

They quickly left the noisy crowd behind.

They drove in silence along the coastal highway. Bai Tiancheng parked the car at the cliffside viewing platform. The moment the engine stopped, the car fell into a vacuum-like silence, with only the cold blue light of the dashboard flowing across their faces.

Zhang Mo looked out the window at the cliff, which looked like the sharp teeth of a giant beast under the moonlight. She smiled and said, "It's a perfect spot to kill someone and silence them."

Bai Tiancheng rested his fingers on the steering wheel, looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "Mr. Zhang, you must be joking. I have no grudge against you, Mr. Zhang. How could I do such a thing?"

Zhang Mo casually pressed the switch, opening the window a third of the way. The sea breeze rushed in through the window, ruffling the stray hairs on Zhang Mo's forehead: "Really? I feel like Attorney Bai seems to really want me dead?"

Bai Tiancheng: "The essence of paranoia is the brain's pathological defense response to 'uncertainty,' so early intervention and treatment are still necessary."

"You were the one who abandoned me at the gate of Qiushan Orphanage, weren't you?" Zhang Mo got straight to the point, her voice carrying the salty tang of the sea breeze, making it exceptionally clear in the quiet carriage.

She turned her head and stared directly at Bai Tiancheng's profile, trying to find a flaw in his cold, hard features.

The knuckles on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

Bai Tiancheng looked at Zhang Mo seriously for the first time: "You are even more amazing than I imagined."

His gaze reminded Zhang Mo of a lake in late autumn, calm on the surface but turbulent beneath.

He didn't ask Zhang Mo how she knew. Anyone who had met Zhang Mo would understand that if Zhang Mo wanted to know something, she would eventually find out.

Zhang Mo's tone was frighteningly calm: "You're quite something too. At 16, you managed to steal a newborn baby without anyone noticing and dump her at the orphanage gate."

Bai Tiancheng suddenly sneered: "Even now, I don't think there's anything wrong with my actions."

Your biological father is a beast, and you are proof of his sins. No one welcomes your birth.

Tianjin doesn't need to know you exist.

Zhang Mo stared at him quietly for a while, neither refuting nor confirming, but instead asked, "How exactly did your sister get pregnant back then?"

This question was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, creating ripples in Bai Tiancheng's eyes. He remained silent for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "...I don't know, nobody knows."

When Tianjin was 16 years old, he was in a car accident and fell into a deep coma.

Private hospital, single room, VIP care, 24-hour surveillance—we still don't know how that beast harmed her…

Zhang Mo followed his words and said, "You hate that beast and wish you could kill him as soon as possible."

But at this very moment, you and Bai's parents had a huge disagreement about whether the child should stay or leave.

At the time, they thought they could no longer have children, and their only daughter became a vegetable.

Although they hate that beast just as much as you do, they hope that the child who inherited their bloodline can survive.

But you don't think that way.

Bai Tiancheng: "Of course I don't think so. What kind of bloodline is this?"

This is sin, this is error, this is curse.

I clearly have 10,000 ways to kill you before you're even born, but something even more absurd has happened.

As the embryo grew, Tianjin's health actually improved day by day...

Combining the dreams Jin had during her coma, the story Wang Heng had constructed back then suddenly became clear.

The female protagonist, who was in a coma and seriously injured, encountered a miracle.

She met her destined lover in her dream.

She needs to do everything she can to win him over, fall in love with him, and willingly give him everything.

Only by having a child can a happy ending be achieved.

Then, at that moment, she finally returned to reality from her coma.

She discovered that she had actually given birth to a child.

But what does it matter?

She knew that this must be the child of the lover in her dreams.

She will do everything in her power to raise this child, and then one day, she will have a fateful reunion with the child's father, thus completing this beautiful love story.

In the very end, to fulfill Wang Heng's great wish of living as long as heaven, a perfect sacrifice was made.

And she was the lamb to be slaughtered on the sacrificial altar!

Zhang Mo laughed, an uncontrollable burst of laughter.

This is ridiculous, insane, and shameless...

"Ha, hahaha. So that's how it is, so that's how it is..." Her laughter gradually turned into muttering to herself, but her eyes flashed with a cold light. "At the same time as giving birth, Bai Tianjin's body was completely restored to health."

And you, taking advantage of the fact that Bai's parents were concerned about their daughter, stole that baby, traveled a long way through mountains and rivers, and dumped it at the gate of an unknown little orphanage thousands of miles away.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were furious, believing that their adopted son had gone to great lengths to do so much so that he could get a larger share of the family fortune.

So, we kicked you out.

Upon hearing this, Bai Tiancheng raised an eyebrow and commented, "Very logical."

Bai Tiancheng's sudden withdrawal startled Zhang Mo, who realized his tone was off: "What do you mean? That's not the reason?"

"If you say so, then so be it." Bai Tiancheng glanced at his watch and started the car. "We've talked enough. I don't think you're in the mood for a celebration banquet. I'll take you back to your hotel."

Zhang Mo: "?"

No, is that all?

What exactly did this guy want from her today?

Throughout the journey, until the car arrived at the hotel entrance, Bai Tiancheng did not say another word to Zhang Mo.

A hotel security guard came over and very politely opened the car door for Zhang Mo.

Bai Tiancheng said politely and businesslike, "It was a very pleasant conversation with you today, and I look forward to cooperating with you again next time, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Mo: "......"

This terrifying ability to control her emotions was something even she found awe-inspiring.

The security guards had already opened the car doors, so Zhang Mo couldn't just stay in the car any longer.

Before getting off the bus, she whispered, "You did nothing wrong. Never let her know about this."

Bai Tiancheng rested one hand on the steering wheel, gave a faint "hmm," and drove off.

As he sped along the deserted streets, his right hand unconsciously touched the left side of his neck.

Without careful observation, almost no one would notice that there was once a deep wound there.

Back then, at the age of 16, after returning home from the Qiushan Orphanage, he faced questioning and accusations from Bai's parents. He grabbed a fruit knife from the table and held it to his throat.

He knew that they no longer wanted to lose the baby, because they were afraid that Bai Tianjin's health would suffer some further problems.

This baby is at least of their bloodline.

“If you knew your daughter a little more, you would know that the existence of this child is enough to destroy her soul.”

"I may die here today, but I will never tell you where that child is."

"No one is allowed to tell her."

"No one is allowed to know."

"No, none of that happened."

As blood streamed down his neck, he wasn't thinking about death, but about how to protect that secret forever.

The moon should hang high in the sky.

As for the other dirty, cruel, and bloody things, he can do them.

It was at that moment that Mr. and Mrs. Bai suddenly realized something terrible.

Their own adopted son, whom they had carefully raised and who excelled in everything, had fallen in love with his older sister, and loved her so madly.

At that moment, seeing Bai Tiancheng bleeding profusely, their anger and heartache reached their peak.

However, in the end, she agreed to his request.

However, not long after, he was forcibly sent abroad.

25 years have passed since then.

He has never regretted it.

Just like he never regretted falling in love with the person who was forever out of reach.
