Chapter 403 The Tortured Cat

Bright red blood soaked the bottom of the box, and the lifeless eyes were wide open, revealing the fear and pain before death.

"Ah——!" A sharp scream pierced the festive atmosphere in the dressing room.

Ji Wan was so scared that he threw the box to the ground. His face turned pale as paper in an instant and his body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

My stomach was churning and a strong feeling of nausea rushed straight into my throat.

That cat...

The miserable state of the torn little cat was a severe eye irritation, and it was like the most vicious curse, deeply imprinted on her retina.

The bridesmaids were also frightened and screamed.

In the chaos, a black recorder rolled out of the broken box and stopped at Ji Wan's feet.

Her eyes were fixed on the recorder, and her heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, almost stopping beating.

An extreme fear, clearer and colder than the previous nightmare, instantly swept over her whole body.

Trembling, she bent down and picked up the recorder with trembling fingers.

The fingertips were cold, like touching the scales of a poisonous snake.

Chi Lin, this name exploded in her mind like a spell.

She bit her lower lip so hard that her nails almost dug into her flesh, and pressed the play button with all her strength.

“Sizzle…”

After a burst of electric noise, a voice so familiar that it chilled her to the bone marrow sounded sinisterly, with a sick smile and undisguised malice.

"Wanwan, surprise? My bride, oh no, now it should be Chi Wenyan's bride."

It’s Chi Lin, it’s really him.

"Isn't this little thing adorable? The way it struggles is just like the way you begged for mercy back then... Tsk, tsk, it really brings back memories."

His voice was full of amusement and cruelty.

"I'm back, Wanwan. Do you think you're safe hiding in Chi Wenyan's shell? Do you think he can protect you forever?"

"I'm telling you, the game has just begun. Today's wedding is just the appetizer. I'll let you watch as everything you cherish is destroyed bit by bit by me. Your happiness, your lover, and your wedding will all become sacrifices for my revenge. Wait for me, Wanwan. I'll be by your side as soon as possible. Very soon..."

The sound from the recorder suddenly stopped, and the dressing room was dead silent.

Ji Wan stood frozen in place, the recorder in her hand dropped to the carpet with a "click", and all the blood in her body seemed to freeze at that moment.

Her vision went dark and her ears were buzzing. Only Chi Lin's snake-like voice echoed in her mind over and over again.

He is back.

He really came back.

With hellish malice, he announced his return in such a cruel way at her wedding.

Fear, like an icy tide, instantly overwhelmed her.

She closed her eyes in despair, not knowing what to do.

The sacred and solemn wedding march was played on time in the magnificent hall, and every note struck the heartstrings of the guests present.

The red carpet stretched from the entrance to the high platform decorated with flowers. The lights were bright and the atmosphere should have been romantic and expectant.

However, the music echoed again and again, but at the end of the red carpet, the door that symbolized the opening of happiness did not show up the bride.

There was a commotion in the guest seats, and the whispers gradually grew louder and intertwined into a buzzing sound.

Curious, puzzled and inquiring eyes were all cast on the groom Chi Wenyan standing on the stage.

Chi Wenyan was wearing a well-tailored black suit, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, but his handsome face did not show any joy that a groom should have.

He pursed his lips tightly, his deep eyes fixed on the direction of the empty entrance, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

A strong sense of uneasiness wrapped around his heart like a vine, tightening more and more.

Time ticked by, each second a torture. The music continued, but it was particularly jarring. The discussion in the audience grew louder, even taking on a hint of undisguised speculation and anticipation.

Chi Wenyan's face became increasingly gloomy, and a cold and intimidating aura emanated from his body, making the groomsmen around him silent.

At this moment, the side door of the auditorium was suddenly pushed open, and Chi Wenyan's special assistant rushed in in panic, staggering, his face pale, and running towards the platform without any regard for the occasion.

"Boss Chi." The special assistant's voice was filled with incredible horror and haste. "Oh no! Something's wrong."

Chi Wenyan's heart suddenly sank, and he asked sternly, "Where's Wanwan?"

The special assistant gasped for breath, her voice trembling: "Miss Ji just announced the cancellation of the wedding through the hotel intercom."

"What?" Chi Wenyan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the coldness around him almost froze the air.

Cancel the wedding? That's out of the question. Wanwan had been looking forward to this wedding for a long time and would never do it for no reason.

"Where is she?" He stepped down from the platform, grabbed the special assistant's collar, and his eyes were sharp enough to kill.

"Miss Ji has already left the hotel." The special assistant was so frightened that he reported at a rapid pace, "She...she left a message saying that there was something urgent and we must rush to...the Sunshine Orphanage in the south of the city."

Sunshine Orphanage.

This place name struck Chi Wenyan's mind like a bolt of thunder.

In an instant, the lingering smell of blood in the dressing room, Ji Wan's pale face, the recorder that fell to the ground, and Chi Lin's lingering threat, all the fragments came together in an instant.

Chi Lin.

That vicious and cruel madman who was forced into a desperate situation by him.

He actually escaped back and used all the children in the orphanage to threaten Wanwan.

Using those innocent lives, she forced Wanwan to give up everything and go meet him alone on the wedding day.

This beast actually used such despicable, shameless and inhumane means.

A raging flame suddenly ignited Chi Wenyan's mind, his eyes burst with terrifying murderous intent, and the aura around him was violent and dangerous.

"Prepare the car." He let go of his special assistant, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, with a bloodthirsty coldness, "Go to Sunshine Orphanage, now, right now."

He couldn't let Wanwan face that madman alone, never.

The car engine made a deafening roar, like the roar of a trapped beast, and the black sedan sped along the wide road like an arrow.

Chi Wenyan sat in the back seat, his whole body seemed to be covered with frost, his handsome face was terrifyingly gloomy, and his deep eyes were burning with raging anger, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes.

"Faster." He growled, the voice seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with a chilling sense of oppression.

The driver's whole body trembled, and he stepped on the accelerator again. The sports car made an even sharper neigh and rushed towards the south of the city like a wild horse.
