Chapter 101 He's Gone
Pei Jingchuan has lived in an orphanage ever since he can remember. The director said he was abandoned at the orphanage gate when he was only a few days old, thin, small and on the verge of death.
The director thought he wouldn't survive, but he actually did. Perhaps because of his introverted personality, Pei Jingchuan was taciturn, and the children in the orphanage liked to bully him. The only person who would show him kindness was Xie Xiyan.
Therefore, Pei Jingchuan was willing to treat Xie Xiyan well and vowed to protect her for the rest of his life.
However, no one can predict the future.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xiyan became unrecognizable, and it was impossible to predict that he would fall in love with another woman.
Xie Nanzhi held her breath, her eyes catching Pei Jingchuan's ferocious expression. "Pei Jingchuan, you can still get leniency if you turn yourself in now. Don't make another mistake."
Pei Jingchuan sneered twice, "Lenient treatment? Nanzhi, I'm not ignorant of the law. The crimes I've committed are enough to warrant death ten times over. Surrendering will only lead to your death."
It was virtually impossible to persuade him to let her go. Pei Jingchuan had been driven to the brink, and he was now truly considering taking her down with him.
Xie Nanzhi's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her face was pale beneath the blood-stained cheeks.
Who would want to die if they could live?
She was no exception.
Looking at the man in front of him, who was pointing a weapon at Pei Jingchuan, he knew that if he were to lose focus for even a moment, he would be riddled with bullets.
Distracted?
Xie Nanzhi suddenly realized something.
She tensed up, not daring to relax for a moment, and suddenly spoke, "Pei Jingchuan, do you still remember our unborn child?"
Pei Jingchuan was suddenly stunned, and his pupils changed in an instant.
Xie Nanzhi continued, "Do you know how much I sacrificed so that we could have a child of our own?"
“If it weren’t for you, our child would have been born in a few months. He would have smiled at you and called you ‘Daddy’ in his baby voice.”
"It was you, you killed our child with your own hands. Pei Jingchuan, you caused all this tragedy."
Pei Jingchuan's eyes were bloodshot, and every word she spoke felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart.
That unborn child was Pei Jingchuan's deepest pain. Every time he touched upon it, he felt a shattering pain throughout his body.
At this moment, Xie Nanzhi was calmer than ever. The instant she noticed Pei Jingchuan's hand trembling, she unexpectedly snatched the gun from his hand.
Suddenly, Pei Jingchuan came to his senses, and the entire situation had changed dramatically.
Just then, with a "bang," Pei Jingchuan's wrist, which was holding the gun, was pierced by a bullet. As the gun fell to the ground, he was forced to the ground.
Everything has settled down.
Xie Nanzhi stood there, her slender body swaying in the wind. She looked at Wei Chizheng not far away and saw him silently put down the gun in his hand, revealing a relieved smile.
Perhaps having exhausted her last bit of strength, Xie Nanzhi's body fell to the ground with the wind.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, Xie Nanzhi was embraced by a strong embrace.
Wei Chizheng lifted her into the air, his eyes filled with heartache, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go to the hospital now."
Then, he strode forward quickly, and his eyes met Pei Jingchuan's.
Instantly, Wei Chizheng's eyes turned cold and gloomy, devoid of any warmth.
As for Pei Jingchuan, his blood-red eyes were filled with anger and resentment. He stared intently at Wei Chizheng until Wei Chizheng withdrew his gaze and walked away.
Even so, Pei Jingchuan continued to watch them. Just as Wei Chizheng brushed past him, a breeze lifted the hem of his suit jacket, and Pei Jingchuan saw the familiar logo.
It's more accurate to call it a unique identifier than a trademark.
Three months ago, Pei Jingchuan saw this logo on a men's suit at home. He sent Jiang Cheng to investigate, but so far there has been no result.
It turned out that the suit belonged to him.
Pei Jingchuan stood there, his body trembling uncontrollably, his clenched fists like those of an enraged beast.
At this moment, the police officer who was detaining him tugged at him and said, "What are you looking at? Get out of here."
Pei Jingchuan was unwilling, but in the end, he could only be forcibly put into the car.

Xie Nanzhi woke up a day later.
When she opened her eyes, Wang Shufen, Zhou Mubin, and Xibei were all beside her.
Xibei hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face. "You scared me to death, Nanzhi! Do you know how terrified I was? If you ever scare me like that again, I'll break off all ties with you."
Xie Nanzhi coughed lightly, "I don't know if you were scared to death, but I was definitely strangled to death by you."
Xi Bei belatedly realized what was happening and quickly let go, only to be ruthlessly pulled away by Zhou Mubin. "Nan Zhi has just recovered from a serious illness, how can she withstand your hug? Move aside."
As he spoke, Zhou Mubin usurped Xibei's place, dragging her away before approaching her and asking, "Nanzhi, are you feeling unwell anywhere? I'll go see a doctor right now."
Xie Nanzhi said softly, "I'm fine."
Zhou Mubin didn't believe it. "No, I'm not comfortable with this. I still need to call the doctor to come and take a look."
Wang Shufen chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's right, I'll go find a doctor right now."
A short while later, the doctor examined Xie Nanzhi, and only after hearing the doctor say that there was no problem did the three of them finally feel relieved.
However, Xie Nanzhi was not in the right state of mind, which Zhou Mubin noticed. "Nanzhi, why do you seem so distracted? Who are you looking at all that time?"
Xie Nanzhi hesitated, unsure of how to begin.
After a while, Xie Nanzhi asked, "Mom, did a man bring me to the hospital?"
Wang Shufen nodded hurriedly, "That's right, it was a man, tall and very handsome. Oh, and his skin was very fair. But he left after taking you to the hospital."
They've left?
Xie Nanzhi asked, unwilling to give up, "Didn't they appear again?"
Wang Shufen didn't know who the man was, and she didn't have the mind to ask more questions in that situation. "No, he never showed up again after he left."
Xie Nanzhi frowned, a sense of loss rising in her heart.
But then I thought, they were just business partners after all. The fact that they took her to the hospital was already more than enough. There was no reason to expect them to stay with her the whole time.
Xie Nanzhi felt a little better after figuring this out.
At this moment, Xibei asked, "Judging from Auntie's description, this person seems to be Mr. Wei. Could it be that the person who brought you to the hospital wasn't a police officer, but Mr. Wei?"
Xibei was full of questions, as if she was determined to get to the bottom of things. "Nanzhi, why was he there too?"
Wei Chizheng was not only present at the scene, but he was also the one who fired the shot that hit Pei Jingchuan's wrist.
Xie Nanzhi pursed her lips, feeling somewhat worried.
Their first meeting was marked by Xie Nanzhi witnessing Wei Chizheng's violent retaliation, and the previous gunshot wound was enough to prove that he was not a law-abiding businessman.
This public shooting will definitely raise suspicions; has something happened to him?
Xie Nanzhi immediately looked at Zhou Mubin with a worried expression, "Old Zhou, you know people at the police station, could you help me find out if they've arrested a man named Wei Chizheng in the last couple of days?"
