Lin Shuang pushed open the door to the coffee shop. She was wearing a loose white crew-neck T-shirt and light-colored embroidered jeans. Her outfit was simple, but she looked clean and pretty, which matched her quiet temperament.
This must be her usual style of dressing. It seems she's been doing well these days.
"What do you want from me?" Lin Shuang walked toward Gan Tang, who was sitting in the corner.
"Let's talk upstairs!"
The café is a two-story building, mostly consisting of booths, with only two private rooms on the second floor.
Inside the private room, there was coffee that Gan Tang had ordered. She sat down, pushed one of the cups across the table, and said, "I didn't know what you liked, so I just ordered a latte."
"What do you want from me?" Lin Shuang asked again. Her eyes were filled with annoyance and weariness, as if someone had trampled on her carefully cultivated garden.
Gan Tang asked directly, "Do you think you've escaped He Zhong's clutches now?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Shuang was suddenly startled.
Gan Tang took out her phone, pulled up a photo, and said calmly, "She was with my father six years ago, abandoned by him five years ago, and died in a car accident less than three months later; she..."
Gan Tang scrolled over a photo and continued, "You should have seen her. She was with Dad five years ago, abandoned by him three years ago, and died of a sudden heart attack less than three months later. Every woman who stayed with Dad for more than half a year, or more precisely, every woman He Zhong gave to him for more than half a year, died mysteriously after leaving."
At this point, Gan Tang looked directly at Lin Shuang and asked, "Miss Lin, how much longer do you think you can live?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Lin Shuang got up and left, causing ripples to spread in the coffee cup she was drinking.
After all, this was a big deal, and Gan Tang hadn't expected her to agree immediately. As she walked to the door, he said, "Miss Lin, if you've thought it through, you can come to me anytime."
Watching Lin Shuang hurry along the roadside, Gan Tang looked away and began deleting photos from her phone. These photos were ones she had painstakingly found among the phones of a group of people at the karaoke bar.
Although she now uses a phone that is not monitored, she still has the habit of deleting evidence.
After deleting the photos, Gan Tang stirred her coffee, looked out the window, and thought: Should I stage a fake car accident to scare her?
Just then, a car drove out of the residential area, and the driver was Lin Shuang.
Gan Tang frowned. Would she go to He Zhong to tell him?
Although telling He Zhong wouldn't be a big deal, it would still be incredibly insulting to her intelligence. From any perspective, she felt that Lin Shuang disliked He Zhong and wanted to leave him.
At most, they couldn't reach an agreement; why would they tell He Zhong?
Gan Tang followed in his car, and unexpectedly, he actually followed He Zhong all the way to his private villa.
Lin Shuang hurriedly went inside, covering herself up very tightly.
In the villa's bedroom, He Zhong sat on the edge of the bed wearing only a pair of shorts, one leg bent. Lin Shuang leaned against the white wall opposite the foot of the bed, completely naked. The only thing covering her body was a black hair tie around her wrist, covering her chest.
“I didn’t know him before.”
Despite enduring countless humiliating stares, Lin Shuang's legs still trembled uncontrollably.
"Don't you recognize me?"
With a snap, He Zhong threw a stack of photos at Lin Shuang. Although there were many photos, they all depicted the same scene.
On the podium at Jinhai University, Lin Shuang, dressed in a student uniform, handed a trophy to Fu Cheng.
In that frozen moment of time, he was a gentleman, refined and elegant; she was as radiant as the sun. This only serves to highlight her current state of utter desolation.
Lin Shuang looked away awkwardly and said in a trembling voice, "That year, he donated a laboratory to our school, and I was just the student council president presenting him with the award. That was all. I never saw him again before I met the owner."
Aside from that, He Zhong couldn't find anything else. He also felt that she wasn't lying, so he beckoned her forward.
Lin Shuang slowly moved towards him, seeing the amusement on his upturned face. Realizing she had done something wrong, she quickly knelt down and bowed her head.
He Zhong used his hand, which he had just used to pick his nose, to hold Lin Shuang's chin and sway it from side to side.
“She is truly a rare beauty. No wonder he has been thinking about her for so many years after only meeting her once.”
With a loud slap, Lin Shuang's left cheek was struck. After waiting for so many days, He Zhong no longer expected Lu Zhengqian to remember her, so he placed his hopes on Fu Cheng.
Seeing that the slap mark on Lin Shuang's face was not obvious, he slapped her again, following the previous slap. From beginning to end, except for a slight sway due to the force causing her to lose control of her body, Lin Shuang remained motionless, enduring his roughness.
"She looks pitiful, which is most likely to arouse a man's protective instincts." He Zhong looked at her swollen cheeks with great satisfaction. He Zhong, who had no such intentions, scooped up the kneeling woman and threw her onto the bed.
He never allowed women to close their eyes when doing this. Lin Shuang could only watch helplessly as he displayed his magnificence and cooperate with a smile.
This is the last time, the very last time. Lu Zhengqian doesn't want me anymore. I'm of no use to him anymore. Once he accepts this fact, no matter how unwilling he is, he will have no choice but to let me go.
Lin Shuang relied on this belief to endure a five-minute ordeal that felt like an eternity to her.
He Zhong was very dissatisfied with this experience. Usually, when the woman in front of him was Fu Yuanshan's woman, he would always have an inexhaustible drive. But now it was just as tasteless as chewing wax.
Fueled by anger and a sense of powerlessness, he kicked Lin Shuang off the bed and ordered, "Go wash up. Fu Cheng will be here soon. Be smart and serve him well."
Lin Shuang, who had just gotten up and knelt down, looked up in shock.
He Zhong threw the pants at Lin Shuang's head and angrily said, "Are you stupid?"
Lin Shuang trembled as she took off the pants and helped He Zhong put them on. Suddenly, she hugged He Zhong's legs tightly and cried out, "Master, Fu Cheng won't do it, he won't do it."
She lived in such darkness for three years. Except for the first six months when she still had the delusion of begging for mercy, she was obedient like a puppet after that.
Rarely, He Zhong saw resistance in her eyes once again, and looked at Lin Shuang with great interest.
"Oh, why?"
"I only want to serve my master." Lin Shuang hurriedly avoided his gaze and even went to take off the pants he had just put on.
He Zhong grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Be good, serving Fu Cheng well is also a way of showing loyalty to your master. You've been taken advantage of by that brat Fu Shaojie so many times, but your master hasn't complained about you, has he?"
"Please, Master, don't." Lin Shuang gripped his hand tightly and pleaded again, "Mr. Fu really enjoys my massages, and I'm confident I can get back to him and continue serving you. And Mo Huaixing, I can seduce him, and Ali too. Please don't make me seduce him."
A knock sounded on the door, and Yu Dayong's voice came from outside.
"Fourth Master, Young Master Cheng has arrived."
