Despite Ye Xinning's repeated attempts to persuade her, Xia He didn't listen to a word.

She placed her hand on Ye Xinning's slender neck. "Sometimes I think, if you weren't Ye Rouxin's daughter, we might be able to be friends. You have an independent personality, and after choosing to become a lawyer, you've done a lot of good deeds, providing legal aid to many poor people. But Ye Xinning, you are Ye Rouxin's daughter, and Ye Rouxin is the culprit who killed my parents. So if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being born into the wrong family."

After saying this, Xia He forcefully shook Ye Xinning's head away, "Take the people and get out of the car."

Looking at Xia He's resolute expression, Ye Xinning closed her eyes. She knew that no matter how much she said or did, she couldn't change Xia He's decision.

Xia He's obsession ran too deep; she only had one thing on her mind... to kill her, to make her mother suffer a fate worse than death.

Ye Xinning was led out of the car by Xia He and the others. As soon as they got out of the car, Ye Xinning's gaze met that of Shen Lin.

Seeing her with a knife held to her neck by Xia He's men, Chen Lin's heart tightened. If the police hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed forward immediately.

Seeing Ye Xinning's injuries and the blood still gushing out, Shen Lin's heart was breaking. The person he cherished so much, the person he held dear in his heart, had been hurt like this. Before he came, how much torment had she suffered? Besides the injuries he could see, how many other wounds did she have? Was she very scared right now?

As Shen Lin pondered this, his expression grew even colder.

Wen Zhu stood beside Shen Lin and could completely understand his worry and anxiety.

After receiving the text message from his wife, Mr. Shen asked her to notify the police while he drove to the abandoned parking lot.

On the way to their destination, Mr. Shen drove very fast, and several times Wenzhu felt that she might have been thrown out if she hadn't been holding onto the handrail.

Mr. Shen had only ever expressed such concerns about his wife.

"Xia He, release her." When everyone was silent, Shen Lin spoke, his tone as cold as a bloodthirsty demon.

Xia He's gaze also fell on Shen Lin. She chuckled softly, then looked at Huo Yanzhi, "Huo Yanzhi, do you see? Even if you love this woman, she already has Shen Lin. What are you anyway?"

Huo Yanzhi stood some distance away from Shen Lin, forming a triangle with Ye Xinning and the others.

Looking at Xia He's frenzied state, Huo Yanzhi's expression turned cold. "You've been lying to me all along?"

"What are you lying to me about? I just want you to see clearly that no matter what you do, Ye Xinning will never come back to your side, Huo Yanzhi. Don't you know that your brother is not a good person? He has tried to kill Ye Xinning countless times. Do you think that after all the things that have happened between you, Ye Xinning would still look back at you?"

"Our affairs are none of your business. Release them." Xia He's words did not cause much of a stir in Huo Yanzhi's mind. He looked at Xia He coldly and said each word clearly.

"Release them?" Xia He asked as if she had heard a joke. "Do you think I would release them?"

"Xia He, there are police all here. Releasing him is your best option," Shen Lin's deep voice rang out.

Xia He looked at all the men who had come for Ye Xinning and couldn't help but laugh. "Ye Xinning, you're really popular. Look at all these men who have come for you."

The cold touch of the knife was still on her neck. Ye Xinning didn't move. She slowly said, "Xia He, choosing to give up is the best choice for you right now."

Everyone was trying to persuade Xia He to give up, but Xia He laughed again. She looked at everyone, including the police, and said, "I never thought I did anything wrong. I sought justice for my parents and made the high and mighty devil pay the price. I have never done anything wrong and I have never needed to back down."

"Xia He, if you hurt her, you won't be able to get away unscathed," Shen Lin said coldly.

Xia He looked down at Ye Xinning in front of her, "Since I did it, I didn't expect to get away unscathed. But just thinking about it, if Miss Ye can accompany me on my journey to the underworld, it will be worth it. At least I won't be alone."

Shen Lin's gaze grew colder and more intense. Xia He's attitude was resolute; she had already accepted her fate and wouldn't care what they said.

"Xia He, I've checked all your records. You have a younger sister, have you forgotten?"

Mentioning her younger sister... Xia He's expression changed instantly. She looked at Shen Lin excitedly, "Shen Lin, what did you say? You have news about my sister?"

"As long as you promise to release her, I will do everything I can to help you find your sister and give you and your sister a good life in the future."

Xia He hesitated. If Shen Lin hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about her younger sister. When they were little, their parents passed away, and she and her sister were sent to an orphanage. Not long after they arrived at the orphanage, her sister was adopted by a family, while she remained in the orphanage. When she went to find her sister's family when she was a little older, they had already moved away.

She lost all contact with her sister from then on. Later, she went to France and returned to Nancheng. She tried every means to find her sister, but there has been no news of her to this day.

"Xia He, you only have that one relative left. If you live, you'll have a chance to see her again. If you die, you'll never see your sister again in this lifetime." Shen Lin's words echoed in my ears once more.

Xia He lowered her head, hesitant, thinking of her parents' death and her missing sister. Suddenly, she raised her head, her eyes turning cold. "My sister has been adopted and is definitely living a good life. Whether I can see her or not is no longer important, as long as she is happy."

Shen Lin squinted, not expecting this to be the case. Xia He was still stubbornly clinging to her delusions. He looked at Director Chen beside him and said, "Director Chen."

Director Chen nodded to Shen Lin.

Seeing this, Shen Lin took a step and walked towards Xia He.

Xia He saw Shen Lin walking towards them step by step. She gripped Ye Xinning's hand tightly and took the knife from the man beside her. "Shen Lin, let me tell you, if you take another step forward, don't blame me for my knife being unforgiving."

Despite Xia He's threats, Shen Lin did not stop. Xia He did not want Shen Lin to do things in such an unconventional way.

She stared at Shen Lin, tightening her grip. "Shen Lin, if you take another step forward, I'll jump off this cliff with the woman you love, you believe me?"

Xia He was standing right next to the sea; if she jumped in, there would be no chance of survival.
