Chapter 190: One Life for Another
Shen Zhichu took the cup of water, took a sip and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Is what I said so funny?" He didn't understand why Shen Zhichu laughed for so long, even to the point of crying.
Shen Zhichu put down the cup in his hand: "Yes, it's funny. Our six years have been a joke, a complete joke."
She had always loved Li Jingshen cautiously and had drawn blood to save Xia Mingyue's life. Only today did she realize that it was Li Jingshen who was not worthy of her.
She had already paid off her debt of life for life.
"I want to sleep quietly alone tonight." Shen Zhichu's clear eyes made Li Jingshen excited, but he didn't think much about it. After all, Shen Zhichu's attitude towards him had been very cold recently.
He wanted to hug Shen Zhichu, but looking at Shen Zhichu's cold expression, he began to feel uneasy.
"Chen Zhichu, I know you are angry with me, but I have to save Xia Mingyue."
Shen Zhichu looked calm: "I'm not angry. I'm very satisfied to be able to divorce you and get 800 million in alimony. I just want to be quiet tonight. Don't worry, I won't regret it. I will definitely reply to your savior tomorrow." She emphasized the last four words.
Shen Zhichu's eyes were as cold as ever, but he could clearly feel something burning in her eyes.
Li Jingshen clearly felt that he had lost something very important, and when he tried desperately to save it, it was already too late.
Li Jingshen left the bedroom and left the space to Shen Zhichu.
As soon as he left, Shen Zhichu's tears kept falling. She wiped her tears with a sad look. She and Li Jingshen were destined to miss each other.
Li Jingshen turned on the computer and watched the surveillance video. He was really worried about Shen Zhichu.
I thought Shen Zhichu would fall asleep after he left, but I didn't expect her to keep leaning against the headboard and crying.
Watching the surveillance video, Li Jingshen felt his heart tightening, as if it was slowly rotting.
He shifted his gaze and took a few deep breaths before suppressing the strange pain. Why did Shen Zhichu cry after listening to him talk about how he fell into the water and was rescued six years ago? Was it because she still cared about him?
There is a sound of rain outside. At this rate, it may not stop raining tomorrow.
He called the kidnapper, but the other party didn't answer. After a while, a strange phone call came in.
"Boss Li, why are you calling so late to think about it?"
"Send me the time and address." Li Jingshen didn't say any more nonsense.
"Looks like you've decided to trade your wife for your lover." The other person sneered, "The time is six in the evening. Someone will send you the address. Remember to bring the money."
"Okay, I'll let Chen Zhichu take the money over, but you also tell Chen Jiaxing that if he dares to hurt anyone, I'll kill you!" Li Jingshen said in a gloomy tone.
"Boss Li, since you're already eating what's in your bowl, don't think about what's in the pot. There's no such thing as perfect in this world. Since you gave up on Shen Zhichu, and looking at what happened to Xia Mingyue in the video, you should be able to imagine what's waiting for her. Don't you think it's funny that you're asking me not to hurt anyone now?"
Everyone understands this principle, and Shen Zhichu is also clear about it.
There is no such thing as saving Xia Mingyue. It is clearly a life for another.
"Finally, I'd like to remind you not to have any ideas. Xia Mingyue is still in our hands. I'm sure you've already found out that Chen Jiaxing is not the only one above us."
"Our boss said he won't take Shen Zhichu's life. He just wants to borrow her to play with for two days. If she's alive, he'll be sent back to you."
Li Jingshen felt that the other person's way of speaking was very familiar, but unfortunately he used a voice changer, so he really couldn't hear any clues.
Seeing that Li Jingshen did not respond, the other party hung up the phone.
An indescribable fatigue came over him. Li Jingshen stood by the window, tightly gripping his phone, veins bulging on his arms.
……….
Li Jingshen didn't sleep the whole night, and neither did Shen Zhichu. As soon as the sun rose, they had breakfast and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
There are more people getting divorced than getting married now, so they had to wait in line for a while before it was their turn.
The two of them looked unusually calm, like a breath of fresh air in this bustling Civil Affairs Bureau, neither arguing nor fighting.
The divorce procedure is no simpler than the marriage procedure, but the two signed the procedure last night, and the divorce certificate was issued after they signed it at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning.
The red book was replaced by the blue book, and the word "結" became "离". Their marriage was simple, and so was their divorce. Apart from the unpleasant process, the beginning and the end were very ordinary.
When Shen Zhichu got the marriage certificate when she got married, it didn't feel real, and now getting the divorce certificate also felt like a dream. She stood there in a trance for more than twenty seconds before she came to her senses.
She put the divorce certificate in her bag and stood up suddenly, "Li Jingshen, I'm finally free."
The tone was very relaxed, as if a camel carrying a heavy load under high pressure had finally unloaded the weight.
As Chen Zhichu finished speaking, Li Jingshen felt a sore and swollen pain in his nasal cavity. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable to have it stay in his nasal cavity. It was so sore that it hurt his heart, and even his glasses felt swollen and painful.
