Chapter 1050 was already finished.
Qiao Xing then noticed the sharp knife in his hand.
His careless act of peeling the apple startled Qiao Xing.
Shen Boyan was behaving very strangely at this moment.
Qiao Xing wanted to answer him, but she didn't dare.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Boyan suddenly looked up at her and asked, "Hmm?"
It was that look in his eyes that sent chills down Qiao Xing's spine.
"Shen Boyan, calm down."
The apple had been so badly damaged by Shen Boyan that Qiao Xing was afraid he would hurt his hand in the next second.
Shen Boyan, however, remained unperturbed and said, "I am very calm. I have never been calmer than I am at this moment."
"Actually, I really want to save my dad," Shen Boyan asked Qiao Xing. "Do you know why?"
Qiao Xing didn't speak, but she shook her head.
"They tried every means to get me to return to Beijing because of my father's illness. It's quite ironic when you think about it. I lost contact with my family. He has never contacted me in all this time. He has never known whether I am alive or dead outside. Of course, I don't want him to know either."
“I always thought I had severed ties with the Shen family long ago, and I thought they thought so too, but I never imagined that I would give up my own life because of them.”
Shen Boyan took a new apple from the fruit plate and slowly began to peel it.
"It's ironic when you think about it. Do you know what the Big Bad Wolf means to us? You don't know, because you have a rich husband. You don't have to struggle for money, and you won't drink until you have a stomach hemorrhage for a contract worth less than a few hundred thousand."
"But when I gave up what was most important to me and came back here, all I wanted was for my dad to get better. But now, he's gone, and I've lost all my hard work. Isn't that ironic?"
For Shen Boyan, the moment he decided to stay in the capital, he abandoned everything he had.
But even after he made the compromise, all that came to him was bad news.
Therefore, Shen Boyan always felt that nothing in this world is absolutely fair.
You will inevitably lose something if you want to gain something.
Shen Boyan never imagined that he would lose everything.
Qiao Xing knew he was saddened by Shen's father's departure, so she whispered to Qin Ce, "Don't think like that. Big Bad Wolf Company will always be yours. You can go back anytime you want."
Shen Boyan said self-deprecatingly, "Does it matter now?"
Even without him, the Big Bad Wolf Company was still able to thrive.
But what did he gain after abandoning everything?
It was as if he was trying to find a sliver of an opportunity with Qin Ce, but he just missed it by a hair's breadth.
It seems that nothing in this world has ever been fair to him.
No one will care what he wants or doesn't want; they'll just tell him what he should and shouldn't do.
Shen Boyan had never felt such loathing for the world as he did now.
Perhaps his decision to come to the capital was a mistake from the very beginning.
If he hadn't given up, perhaps he wouldn't feel so resentful about everything that's happened today.
In his dazed state, Shen Boyan seemed to hear Qiao Xing's terrified voice.
"Shen Boyan, your hand!"
A peeled apple was stained bright red in Shen Boyan's hands.
Shen Boyan looked down and realized that his finger had been cut at some point.
Strangely enough, he didn't feel any pain at all.
The blood dripped onto the floor, and Qiao Xing was shocked. She got up to look for a band-aid.
Shen Boyan said, "Don't move."
Qiao Xing was so frightened that he dared not move.
She watched as Shen Boyan let his finger bleed without moving, and couldn't help but say anxiously, "Shen Boyan, are you crazy! Why would you hurt yourself for no reason?"
Shen Boyan twirled the sharp knife in one hand and said, "I really have gone mad."
"you!"
Just as Qiao Xing was about to speak, he suddenly heard police sirens outside.
Shen Boyan chuckled softly.
As expected, it happened.
The moment Qiao Xing heard the siren, he instinctively stood up.
But Shen Boyan grabbed her arm. "Qiao Xing, only you can help me now."
Looking at his expression, Qiao Xing suddenly seemed to understand something. "You did this on purpose?"
Shen Boyan said, "I don't know. I believed something I shouldn't have, and this must be my retribution."
Qiao Xing said urgently, "There's nothing that can't be resolved properly. Why do you have to resort to such an extreme method? Don't you know that kidnapping can land you in jail!"
“I always thought that as long as I could get my dad back, I could go back to Chongqing and back to Big Bad Wolf. But I found that since I came to Beijing, I have slowly lost myself. I have forgotten what I really want. Sometimes I even wish my dad would die. If he were gone, everyone would be free.”
Shen Boyan looked at Qiao Xing with a wry smile, "Qiao Xing, I'm almost not even recognizing myself anymore..."
The sirens grew closer, and Qiao Xing's heart pounded with increasing panic.
Shen Boyan said, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you. I just want the police to see it."
"It's too late to see!" Qiao Xing said excitedly. "Shen Boyan, I don't care what made you make this decision, I will understand you, and I have never blamed you. But you can't punish yourself like this. Do you know that once you go to prison, your life will be over!"
Shen Boyan seemed to be thinking of something, and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "My life was already over the moment I came to the capital."
"What about Sheng Yao?" Qiao Xing suddenly asked.
Shen Boyan was clearly stunned.
"You clearly like him a lot, so why won't you tell her? Do you know how important you are to her?"
In an instant, Sheng Yao's bright and cheerful smile appeared in Shen Boyan's mind.
Yes, he almost forgot that there was once a girl who liked him that much.
Her feelings were so passionate and pure.
Even Shen Boyan himself didn't know when she had entered his world and quietly fallen in love with him.
The sirens outside suddenly fell silent.
Nobody knew whether the police had left or were still guarding the door.
Qiao Xing didn't want Shen Boyan to give up on her like this.
She said to Shen Boyan, "Sheng Yao is a very good girl. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about her. Do you really want her to continue to be sad because of you?"
Just then, the doorbell rang.
