Bai Shengsheng stared blankly at Shi Yan sitting behind the desk. She held Cheng Mo's hand tightly, realizing that they couldn't leave.

"Sheng Sheng, I've been waiting for you for so long, you've finally arrived."

Bai Shengsheng looked at her and said hoarsely, "Shi Yan, please let him go. I won't leave. Please, please let her go..."

"Oh."

Cheng Mo stepped out from behind Bai Shengsheng, holding her protectively in his arms. He gritted his teeth and said to Shi Yan, "Shi Yan, let Shengsheng go."

"Ten years! Isn't ten years of locking Sheng Sheng up enough?!"

Shi Yan's smile froze. "Guan?" He stood up and walked towards the two of them step by step. "It was Sheng Sheng who promised me she wouldn't leave me. It was Sheng Sheng who said she would always stay by my side!"

Shi Yan stared intently into Bai Shengsheng's eyes: "Isn't that right?"

"..." Bai Shengsheng opened her mouth but couldn't utter a single word.

Shi Yan's tone carried a hint of grievance and stubbornness: "I did nothing wrong. It was Sheng Sheng who was lying to me all along."

Cheng Mo couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled out a miniature pistol and pressed it against Shi Yan's chest.

Bai Shengsheng: "Cheng Mo!"

Cheng Mo: "Get out of the way."

Shi Yan smiled nonchalantly, watching Cheng Mo lead Bai Shengsheng to the door as if it were a show. Bai Shengsheng had already sensed something; tears streamed down her face, but she still followed Cheng Mo out the door.

Shi Yan's gaze grew colder and colder on her hand, which she hadn't let go of. The study door opened, and Cheng Mo stopped in his tracks as a dark gun barrel pressed against his forehead.

Outside the door, the people blocking the entire corridor, the tattooed man holding a gun to Cheng Mo, he waved his hand, and the person behind him turned on the speakerphone on his phone.

"Amo! Come back."

"Stop looking for Sheng Sheng, come back! You both have your own families now!"

Bai Shengsheng felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She heard her uncle and aunt, whom she used to call affectionately, crying incessantly on the other end of the phone, assuring Shi Yan that Cheng Mo should let go.

Exactly the same, exactly the same as it was ten years ago.

"You really haven't changed at all."

"....."

Bai Shengsheng stared blankly at Shi Yan's face. "Shi Yan, you're a madman. I shouldn't have saved you in the first place."

"You should have died back then!"

Shi Yan looked at her silently, then suddenly revealed a smile that was both incredibly sad and excited. He grabbed Bai Shengsheng and pulled her back to his side from Cheng Mo's side.

"What a pity I didn't die, leaving Sheng Sheng so disappointed."

He kissed Bai Shengsheng passionately, inhaling her scent, while watching Cheng Mo, who remained frozen in place. He then pulled Bai Shengsheng in front of Cheng Mo and kissed her even more wantonly.

Except for the tattooed man, all the other members of the Shimen group closed their eyes.

Her clothes fell to the ground, and Bai Shengsheng could no longer hold back her sobs.

Seeing Bai Shengsheng crying uncontrollably, Shi Yan became even more agitated. He turned Bai Shengsheng around to face Cheng Mo and pressed his hard penis against Bai Shengsheng's softness.

"Are you still going with him?"

“If you dare say that, I’ll strip you naked right in front of him right now.”

Cheng Mo was pinned down by the tattooed arm and couldn't move. He opened his chapped lips and said, "...Shi Yan, you're a madman."

On the other end of the phone, the two elderly people began to sob, which made Cheng Mo's eyes redden.

"Do you really think everything will be fine as long as you send your parents abroad? Cheng Mo, I gave you a chance."

Shi Yan's lips brushed against Bai Shengsheng's ear, like the most intimate whisper between lovers: "Don't struggle anymore. I know very well who you will choose, and you know very well too, just like ten years ago."

"Just like ten years ago, you will eventually let go."

"The only one who has always held onto Sheng Sheng is me."

The tattooed man touched his earphones, frowned, and hesitated before saying, "Sir, the young master is trapped in the tunnel and hasn't come out yet. Shi Si is inside."

"Ah, Sheng Sheng, our son hasn't escaped yet."

Bai Shengsheng's face showed pain as she thought of Shi Youxi, whom she had abandoned. She looked at Cheng Mo's tall body, which was covered in wounds, and the blood on the back of Cheng Mo's head stained his white shirt.

To protect her from her injuries.

"I won't run away anymore, please let him go... I beg you, Shi Yan..." Bai Shengsheng choked out.

"He's injured...he'll die if this continues!"

"Stop causing unnecessary harm, really, that's enough, Shi Yan!"

Hearing her pleading tone, Shi Yan's expression grew even colder. He grabbed Bai Shengsheng's chin and growled in a deep, hoarse voice.

"Harm? You abandoned me to go with him, you abandoned our child! Xiao Xi's life is still hanging in the balance, and all you're worried about is him, isn't that right!"

Ignoring Shi Yan's anger, Bai Shengsheng struggled to Cheng Mo's side and forcefully slapped away the hand holding the gun from the tattooed man. "Don't point it at him! Make him leave!"

The tattooed man glanced at Bai Shengsheng, hesitated before lowering his hand, but remained standing at the door without moving. The other members of the Shi family also did not move.

“Sheng Sheng…”

"Cheng Mo, you should leave. You should leave now."

"We'll go together!"

Bai Shengsheng cupped Cheng Mo's face in her hands, which were covered in Cheng Mo's blood. In a panic, Bai Shengsheng tore off a piece of her white dress and pressed it against the back of Cheng Mo's neck.

Shi Yan watched her nonchalant behavior, then covered his eyes with his hand and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, let's go?"

Shi Yan's chest heaved, and his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the two entangled figures. He said, "Since you're here for Sheng Sheng's birthday, give your gift before you leave."

With her arm being pulled forcefully, Bai Shengsheng was dragged by Shi Yan and stumbled towards the tunnel door they had just passed. Shi Yan waved his hand, and his tattooed arm grabbed Cheng Mo and his group, pulling them down to the tunnel entrance.

In a short time, the fire had spread to this side, sparks flew out, and Cheng Mo was pushed in front of the flames, the flames burning his handsome profile.

"don't want!!!"

"Please don't do this! Shi Yan, Shi Yan, I beg you!"

Shi Yan wouldn't let her dodge, and held Bai Shengsheng's chin, whispering, "I know, Shengsheng, you don't like his face now."

"It's okay, since we're going to put it back anyway, it's fine to burn this layer down, right?"

"No! No!!! Shi Yan, I beg you!"

"I love you, Shi Yan, I love you!"

"I don't love him anymore! I don't love him anymore! Tell him to leave! I don't want to see him again! Tell him to leave!!"

Bai Shengsheng struggled, frantically scratching at the hands binding her waist and shoulders, but the person behind her remained unmoved, holding her firmly in place, unable to move an inch.

They could only watch helplessly as Cheng Mo's face was consumed by the flames.

Cheng Mo initially struggled, but after being struck twice on the back of the head by the butt of a gun by the tattooed arm, he could only move forward passively.

Before being engulfed by the orange light and intense heat, Cheng Mo only had time to whisper to Bai Shengsheng, "Shengsheng, close your eyes and don't look."

"No..." Bai Shengsheng was in a daze, her whole body spiraling into a frenzy, the words echoing repeatedly in her ears:

"Sheng Sheng, promise me you'll close your eyes and not look...it's dirty."

Ten years ago, Bai Shengsheng was pregnant and was forced to marry Shi Yan. She ran away with Cheng Mo, and ended up with the same fate as she has today.

Shi Yan forced Bai Shengsheng to witness Cheng Mo being drugged and watch helplessly as Cheng Mo was surrounded, entangled, and sexually assaulted by men and women.

After being injected with the drug, Cheng Mo gently told her, "Sheng Sheng, close your eyes and don't look."

"ah!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Bai Shengsheng's phoenix eyes widened, her eyes were bloodshot, her lips trembled, and she screamed wildly, screaming for herself and for Cheng Mo who was being burned by the flames.

"I hate you! I hate you, Shi Yan!"

"Kill me! Kill me!"

Shi Yan smiled, turned Bai Shengsheng's face around, and kissed her face, which was covered with tears and snot, his voice gentle and affectionate.

"It's okay, as long as I love you, that's enough."

"Happy birthday, Sheng Sheng."
