Chapter 190 In this situation, do you think I can be happy?

As Qin Shuzhi struggled to open her sleepy eyes, she suddenly heard a voice say, "Xiaozhi, you're awake?"

The sound sent chills down Qin Shuzhi's spine. She opened her eyes abruptly and was met with Shen Yichen's repulsive face.

Her first instinct was to escape.

However, upon moving, she discovered that her hands and feet were bound, and she was lying on a chaise lounge.

"Shen Yichen, what's wrong with you now?"

She struggled angrily to sit up and glared at him.

Shen Yichen, however, just stared at her intently, without saying a word.

Qin Shuzhi ignored him and kept looking around.

This is not a residence; it is surrounded by a large canopy with candles lit in the four corners, making it look...like a large tent.

You can't see outside.

But Qin Shuzhi kept looking out.

"Are you looking for your female bodyguard?"

Shen Yichen suddenly spoke up and asked.

Qin Shuzhi looked at him suddenly and saw him twitch his lips.

"I've already been tricked by her once, how could I possibly let her ruin my plans again?"

Qin Shuzhi's pupils contracted sharply, and then he heard him say again, "I know that Shi Yuanxing has been secretly sending you several more bodyguards these past few days. There's no other way... I can only take action in a crowded and noisy hospital."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shuzhi immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "You're the one who got Shanshan into the hospital?"

Shen Yichen said, "Only in this way can I bring you to the hospital."

Qin Shuzhi trembled with rage, looking at him as if he were a demon. "Shen Yichen, do you have no humanity? She's your cousin, how could you hurt her?"

"Those are just false symptoms, she's fine..."

Seeing that she was emotional, Shen Yichen reached out to comfort her, but Qin Shuzhi dodged away in disgust.

His hand froze in mid-air as he looked at her, his voice softening, "Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone you care about."

How dare you say such a thing?

Qin Shuzhi glared at him angrily, "Do you think I don't know what you did to my husband?"

"To frame him and attack him, you maliciously created an accident to smear him. You call that not hurting the people I care about? You also caused five deaths and implicated more than a dozen innocent families. Shen Yichen, how could you do such a heinous thing?"

"I only wanted to ruin Shi Yuanxing's reputation. I never intended to cause any deaths. The deaths were accidental."

Does Qin Shu know how he has the audacity to confidently and shamelessly use the word "accident" to describe the five lives lost?

"Even if no one died, you think you can pin this crime on my husband and ruin his reputation? What gives you the right?"

"That's what he deserved for going on his long journey."

Enraged, Shen Yichen suddenly stood up. "He's clearly the behind-the-scenes boss of Shengrui, yet he treated me like a fool, keeping me in the dark and making me shamelessly beg for his company's cooperation. What gives him the right?"

When Shen Yichen secretly discovered that Shi Yuanxing was the behind-the-scenes boss of Shengrui, his self-esteem felt as if it had been brutally trampled and humiliated by Shi Yuanxing.

At the signing ceremony, he actually acted like a fool and went to Shi Yuanxing to brag that he had beaten him.

But to my surprise, I was just being played around by him.

Qin Shuzhi was speechless. "You were the one who insisted on coming up to me for cooperation. My husband never intended to play you."

In Shi Yuanxing's original plan, Shen Yichen had nothing to do with this project. He insisted on squeezing in and adding his own scenes, and now he's blaming others?

"I know, his project is just to catch the mole inside the Shi Group."

Shen Yichen scoffed disdainfully, "This Qiao Wenbo is also a useless piece of trash. He had a chance to escape with the confidential documents, but he still couldn't stir up any trouble."

What do you mean by that?

Qin Shuzhi stared at him in shock, then suddenly realized something, "So... Qiao Wenbo was able to escape in time that night because you tipped him off?"

Shen Yichen said, "If it weren't for my secret help, how could he have escaped Shi Yuanxing's pursuit?"

Qin Shuzhi glared at him, her eyes trembling with anger. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Yichen, did I dig up your family's ancestral graves in my past life?"

"?"

Shen Yichen stared at her blankly, not quite understanding what she meant.

"I've never done anything to wrong you, have I? You've tried to ruin my life time and time again, and now you want me to die?"

Faced with Qin Shuzhi's angry questioning, Shen Yichen's pupils dilated, and he was stunned for several seconds before he understood her words. He hurriedly shook his head and explained:

"No, no, that's not it, Xiaozhi. How could I possibly hurt you? I just wanted to use Qiao Wenbo to muddy the waters of the Shi Group. I never expected that good-for-nothing would dare to hurt you..."

If he had known that Qiao Wenbo would set his sights on her, he would never have used Qiao Wenbo as a tactic.

When he learned of what happened to her on the ship, he wanted nothing more than to chop that good-for-nothing Qiao Wenbo to pieces.

"Xiao Zhi, I'm sorry, I was like that back then..."

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

Qin Shuzhi interrupted him with annoyance, raising his bound hands, "I'll just ask you one question, what are you trying to do this time?"

"I'm warning you, if you dare lay a finger on me, my husband will make you pay!"

Seeing her full of hostility and wariness towards him, and even bluffing by bringing up Shi Yuanxing to warn him, Shen Yichen felt bitter.

Just how bad has my image become in her eyes?

That made her so wary of herself.

"Xiao Zhi, please don't do this... I won't do anything to hurt you again."

Qin Shuzhi would never believe the words of a murderer, especially since that person was Shen Yichen.

"Then why did you kidnap me here?"

Shen Yichen paused for a moment, then raised his bowl to check the time.

It was already past midnight, and a new day had begun.

The next second, he took out an electronic button and pressed it upwards.

With a "beep," the tent opened from the top, opening outwards on all four sides, instantly broadening the view. Qin Shuzhi looked out and found that she was surrounded by a large flat area, with rose petals scattered all over the ground illuminated by candles, creating a red glow around her.

Not far away, there was a large sign with flashing ambient lights, balloons next to it, and the words "Happy Birthday, Xiaozhi" spelled out in fluorescent lights in the middle.

This place...

Despite it being night, Qin Shuzhi could vaguely recognize that this was Haichuan Island.

It was the place she had planned to visit last year for her birthday.

Happy birthday, Xiaozhi.

Looking at her beautiful face in the candlelight, Shen Yichen's choked and hoarse voice contained too many emotions.

He finally sent her this belated birthday wish on her birthday this year.

Qin Shuzhi sat on the chaise lounge, looking at him as if he were a lunatic. "In this situation, do you think I can be happy?"

"Shen Yichen, are you determined to make every birthday of mine miserable?"
