Chapter 67 [67]
rescue
The sky was gloomy and overcast today, with thick, heavy clouds.
At 2 p.m., Lu Mingxiao arrived at the abandoned dock on the east side of the Baipu River.
The area is overgrown with weeds and deserted. The stone bank paved with pebbles along the river flows into the water, and the surrounding area is a scene of broken walls and ruins.
Lu Mingxiao parked his black SUV on the cement road.
According to Shen Hao's text message, the white van with the license plate ending in 577 was found under the bridge.
Shen Hao's people were quite polite to him.
First, a burly man got out of the car and gestured for him to proceed.
After he sat down, another burly man politely said, "Mr. Lu, excuse me." He then put a black hood over his head.
The car was moving, and the cabin was quiet, with only the loud roar of the engine audible.
With his eyes closed, Lu Mingxiao mentally drew a rough route map based on the car's turning angle.
And his control over time has always been precise.
By the forty-seventh minute, the car's speed gradually slowed down and settled at ten miles per hour.
Then, after going downhill, we slowly drove forward for another four or five meters until we came to a stop.
His position stopped moving, and Yin Xingwei must have already noticed, so he informed Xiaoyue.
With Luo Hanzhou handling the negotiations with Jin Hui, he had nothing to worry about; the leverage would be easily secured.
I just don't know how the old master and his wife are doing now.
Even if Shen Hao doesn't endanger their lives, there's no guarantee he won't take action.
After removing the hood, Lu Mingxiao got out of the van.
He was in a cave, where a cold wind blew in, and the air was damp and salty.
The burly man used his phone to shine a light, and the hidden door that blended into the stone wall was then pushed open.
This place seems to have been carefully planned.
The hidden door leads to a narrow passageway, where the direction can be clearly discerned by the dim light of the floor lamps.
Pass through the second door at the end, ascend the wooden stairs, and enter a completely new space.
Lu Mingxiao thought he would see Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan immediately, but to his surprise, only Shen Hao was facing him, sitting at the long rectangular table.
Lu Mingxiao walked in, and Shen Hao, with a smile on his face, invited him to sit down on the other side of the square table.
Knowing his concern, Shen Hao didn't waste any words. He put his legs up on the square table, picked up the remote control, and turned on the LCD TV hanging on the wall.
In the live broadcast, Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan were tied to chairs with rope.
Zong Ming had no injuries on his skin, while Qin Lijuan had obvious bruises on her cheeks and neck.
Shen Hao tormented his teacher's wife's body, which in turn pierced Lao Zong's heart, leaving it riddled with holes.
The two elders had their heads down and eyes closed; it was clear that they were exhausted from repeated torture.
Lu Mingxiao clenched his fist, his brows furrowed. Shen Hao pointed to the food on the table and said, "You must be tired from your journey. Eat something first and calm down."
Lu Mingxiao remained unmoved by this, but took the initiative to start a conversation with Shen Hao.
"President Shen's abilities far exceed my expectations. I underestimated him before, and I apologize to you here."
Shen Hao originally thought that Lu Mingxiao would lose his temper and punch him a few times upon seeing Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan, but to his surprise, Lu Mingxiao remained calm.
He and Lu Mingxiao had known each other for ten years and had clashed several times, but this time the scale was the largest, and they were determined to fight to the death.
Based on Shen Hao's understanding of Lu Mingxiao, the calmer he appeared, the more he was secretly plotting something.
Shen Hao picked up the wine glass beside him, took a sip of red wine, and asked without changing his expression, "Apologize and beg me to release Zong Ming and his wife?"
Before Lu Mingxiao could answer, Shen Hao tacitly accepted his guess, his voice leisurely.
"Look at you, what good will come of going against me? In the end, you'll still have to put on a long face and be subservient to me."
"Losing the battle against Longhua was unexpected. The apology was out of courtesy. I know that if this could save Lao Zong and his wife, why would President Shen have made me come all this way?"
Lu Mingxiao said, "Now that I'm on President Shen's turf, I can't escape even if I grow wings. President Shen, just say what you want me to do directly, there's no need to beat around the bush."
I appreciate your directness.
Shen Hao stood up, walked to Lu Mingxiao's side, and poured half a glass of red wine into his glass. "There are three things in total."
He put down the wine bottle, placed his hands on Lu Mingxiao's shoulders, and continued, "First, publicly publish four words on all your self-media platforms—'I am a piece of trash,' and admit that all your previous evidence against Longhua was fabricated."
Lu Mingxiao's self-media platform is managed by a professional team in addition to his own login. They know his account password.
He didn't bring any communication devices with him when he arrived, so Shen Hao gave him a spare phone. Lu Mingxiao then called Xiao Xie and gave him instructions.
The speed over there was very fast. Shen Hao saw the results online and expressed his satisfaction. He then brought up the second matter.
"President Jin has long coveted Mingyue and wants to take over and expand her business empire."
Lu Mingxiao hadn't expected that Jin Hui was so ambitious; not only was becoming the largest shareholder of Longhua not enough, she also planned to take over Mingyue.
He watched as Shen Hao returned to his seat and picked up a document from the corner of the table: "This is a voluntary equity transfer agreement. Sign it."
Whether you read the agreement or not makes no difference.
Lu Mingxiao flipped directly to the last page, where Jin Hui's name was already signed. He took the pen from Shen Hao and signed his own name as well.
On the LCD screen, Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan remained completely still.
The time displayed in the lower right corner was accurate to the second, and Lu Mingxiao estimated that Luo Qingyue and the others should be arriving soon.
Shen Hao put the transfer agreement into a folder and sat down directly opposite Lu Mingxiao.
When Lu Mingxiao looked at him again, Shen Hao had a miniature remote control in his hand. It was flat and he was playing with it on his fingertips with great interest.
“Yesterday I specially brought two carved chairs from Zongming’s house, thinking they would be able to sit comfortably. Who knew they would look miserable all night, refusing to eat or drink. It broke my heart to see them like that. Helpless, I could only replace them with specially made ones.”
As Shen Hao spoke, he pressed the round button on the top of the remote control.
On the screen, Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan, who were still, suddenly started convulsing, their faces showing pain.
At the same time, you could hear their wailing from their throats; their mouths were sealed with tape, and they were in danger of suffocating at any moment.
Based on the material and the electrical currents mixed in, Lu Mingxiao quickly analyzed it.
The seat is electrified, and the remote control in Shen Hao's hand controls the circuit switch.
Old Master Zong and his wife were quite old; how could they withstand the electric shock, especially since the current was not mild?
Lu Mingxiao stood up, his hands on the table, his breathing erratic. He was anxious and unsettled. Shen Hao was delighted to see this and pressed the remote control, increasing the current.
Lu Mingxiao's voice was hoarse, his icy gaze as if covered in frost and snow.
"Did Jin Hui ever teach you that it's best to leave yourself an out in life, so as not to suffer a backlash later?"
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, but Shen Hao laughed even more wildly: "Don't forget, now it's your turn to ask me for help."
He then walked over to Lu Mingxiao, sat down on the table, and pointed to the round button below the remote control: "If you make me unhappy, the chair will explode, and your mentor and his wife will be reduced to ashes. You will be the culprit who killed them."
Lu Mingxiao sat down again, completely devoid of his previous imposing manner.
"Tell me, what is the third thing?" he said calmly.
Shen Hao turned off the button that controlled the current, and Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan returned to stillness, with no more sound coming from them.
Unable to ascertain their physical condition, Lu Mingxiao's heart clenched with anxiety, while Shen Hao took out a strip of medicine from the pocket of his black trench coat.
The name on the medicine packaging was clear to Lu Mingxiao; it was the same banned drug that Huang Yang had explained to him.
One strip contains three pills. Taking one pill has a calming effect, but taking two pills at the same time can cause central nervous system disorders and make it difficult to control one's actions.
The three will want to escape from the real world and ascend to paradise as soon as possible, like Huang Yang, taking suicide as a way to escape, without feeling any pain in the process.
Shen Hao peeled out the three pills one by one, placed them in his palm, and looked down at Lu Mingxiao.
“Back when we were in Longhua, Zongming valued you highly. Whenever you were in a project team, your colleagues would vie to join.”
“You founded Mingyue, which has drawn away the attention that originally belonged to me. Even Ahui couldn’t help but praise you, and many people compare us.”
Lu Mingxiao remained silent, listening as Shen Hao continued, "I don't like this at all."
He smiled and placed the medicine in front of Lu Mingxiao: "As long as you disappear, the world will revolve around me from now on."
His words were laced with mockery, and his motives were made no attempt to conceal.
In his other hand, he still held the remote control for Zongming and Qin Lijuan's seats.
Lu Mingxiao picked up the pill, and Shen Hao watched him put it in his mouth, unable to resist clapping and raising his hand in a victorious gesture.
"He truly is a good dog raised by Zongming; he would even risk his life for him."
"It's just a pity for your little girlfriend. Since you are destined to be separated by death, why don't I take her in? I have many brothers here, let each of them have a good meal with her, what do you think?"
His frost-covered pupils instantly ignited with a raging fire, and an uncontrollable impulse coursed through Lu Mingxiao's veins.
Suddenly, the sound of a door being broken down came from the cellar. Lu Mingxiao grabbed Shen Hao by the neck and used all his strength to push him off the table, then pinned Shen Hao against the wall.
Lu Mingxiao spat out the pills he hadn't swallowed, his brows furrowed in anger.
"When did you, you beast, become someone I can even be compared to?"
Nearly suffocating, Shen Hao subconsciously pressed the remote control switch, but Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan were unharmed.
Immediately afterwards, Wan Yu, followed by Luo Qingyue, and Yin Xingwei, who was holding Jin Hui captive, came into the surveillance footage.
Shen Hao's face showed disbelief, and his attention was immediately fixed on Jin Hui.
Lu Mingxiao came prepared, but Ah Hui was always meticulous, so how could she fall into their hands?
Before one mystery could be solved, Shen Hao frowned deeply. Then he saw Wan Yu and Luo Qingyue untie the nylon ropes binding Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan and carefully tear off the tape sealing their mouths.
A dinner knife was placed near their seats.
Lu Mingxiao picked it up, turned the blade to one side, and held it close to Shen Hao's cheek.
"You're trying to use this face to attract Jin Hui. If I ruin it, do you think Jin Hui will still want you?"
"You just said there are many brothers here, so I'll slash your face as many times as there are people. It just so happens that Xiaoyue's birthday is February 7th, so I'll just guess the 27th."
Shen Hao, who was particularly concerned about his image, showed obvious signs of panic at this moment.
There were clearly only nine people, but Lu Mingxiao would never give him a chance to explain, his voice cold and deep.
"Now that Jin Hui is here, I will bring you before her so that you can witness this with your own eyes."
The cellar and the space they were in were separated by only one wall.
Wan Yu pressed the switch, and the wall made of hidden doors opened to both sides, converging into a huge space.
Wan Yu stepped forward and reported to Lu Mingxiao without hesitation.
"Mr. Lu, I have cut off the power to the chair, and Jin Hui and Shen Hao's people in the villa have been taken into custody by the police."
"The ambulance that President Yin brought is outside and will escort Elder Zong and Professor Qin to Ren'an Hospital. I have also collected all the evidence of Shen Hao's murder to cover up the crime and Long Hua's tax evasion. I will submit it to you as soon as I get back."
All eyes in the cellar turned to Lu Mingxiao and Shen Hao without prior arrangement.
Lu Mingxiao first watched as the medical staff lifted Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan onto stretchers and left, then his gaze met Luo Qingyue's in mid-air.
Once he was sure she was safe and sound, and that she knew he was too, Lu Mingxiao replied to Wan Yu in a calm voice, "Well done."
On the other hand, Shen Hao's face was contorted with rage, veins bulging, and he gripped Wan Yu's throat with his finger, yelling, "How dare you... betray me..."
Lu Mingxiao grabbed Shen Hao from behind, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him high in the air.
Shen Hao touched the ground with his toes, and Lu Mingxiao dragged him to the cellar, where he stood in front of Jin Hui.
Lu Mingxiao, with a heavy, oppressive aura, held a dinner knife in his hand and approached Shen Hao's profile.
Seeing this, Luo Qingyue picked up the shards of glass from the corner and leaned against Shen Hao's other half of her face.
Luo Qingyue heard from Wan Yu about the despicable things he did to Zong Ming and Qin Lijuan, and she thought it was absolutely outrageous.
She ran the smooth side of the glass across Shen Hao's fair skin, suppressing the urge to stab him, and said expressionlessly, "Wan Yu has been one of our men from beginning to end, so how can you say he betrayed us? He painstakingly lay low in the darkness for three years and is a great contributor to Mingyue. The day he sees the light again will be the day you, Shen Hao, are defeated."
Lu Mingxiao kept a close eye on Luo Qingyue's movements: "Xiaoyue, put down the glass shard and stay away from this beast, so you don't hurt your hand."
The shards had sharp serrations, and Luo Qingyue heeded the advice and threw the glass shards back into the corner.
Yin Xingwei looked at her and said, "I have a knife in my pocket, which I use for self-defense. I can lend it to you in an emergency."
Luo Qingyue took the knife out of Yin Xingwei's trench coat pocket, folded it open, and the blade was sharper than the one in Lu Mingxiao's hand.
She returned to Lu Mingxiao's side and hurriedly shared with him: "Xiao, Sister Jin said that Shen Hao did all the things, including kidnapping Uncle Zong and his teacher's wife and killing Huang Yang's parents. She knew nothing about it and even pledged her loyalty to me and President Yin. She has stood firmly on our side from beginning to end."
Before entering the villa, Jin Hui put on a show of changing her expression faster than turning the pages of a book.
One second she was hostile to her, the next she called her best friend, completely severing ties with Shen Hao.
After listening to Luo Qingyue's words, Lu Mingxiao looked at Jin Hui.
Jin Hui remained silent, while Yin Xingwei answered in cooperation, "I can testify that this is indeed true."
"Then I'll give President Jin a chance to prove himself."
Lu Mingxiao gripped Luo Qingyue's wrist and handed the knife to Jin Hui. "Twenty-seven cuts. Destroy Shen Hao's face. Not a single cut can be spared."
Lu Mingxiao came alone, and Jin Hui originally thought that Shen Hao could easily subdue him.
So she first pretended to seek peace, and then used Lu Mingxiao to threaten Luo Qingyue when they met.
To her surprise, the result was completely opposite to what she had imagined. When she saw Shen Hao being choked by Lu Mingxiao, Jin Hui was undoubtedly astonished.
From the past to the present, she has been particularly adept at assessing situations and has always prioritized self-preservation in everything she has experienced.
Moreover, the other side had a large number of people and the support of the police. Jin Hui knew very well that any further struggle would be futile.
Jin Hui stared into Shen Hao's dull eyes, her lips trembling slightly.
For ten years, she has kept Tang Yulan's last wish and taken care of Shen Hao.
She protected him, ensuring he had a place in the Shen family, a place full of villains, and helped him become the president of Longhua, filling the financial gap.
Without her, Shen Hao wouldn't be alive today. She believes she has already repaid all the debts of gratitude, and even if she used Shen Hao in some way, she shouldn't feel any guilt.
Shen Hao cares about her, depends on her, and wouldn't mind making sacrifices for her.
With her hands bound behind her back by Yin Xingwei, Jin Hui turned her head and glanced at him: "Let go."
Yin Xing did as instructed, and then Jin Hui took the knife from Luo Qingyue's hand, held it with both hands, and slowly moved it in front of Shen Hao.
In those brief few seconds, Shen Hao naively believed that Jin Hui would stab Lu Mingxiao with a knife to save him.
The excruciating pain of feeling utterly hopeless the moment the knife sliced across his cheek was far more intense than the tearing of the wound itself.
This face exists to please her, and despite being covered in scars, Shen Hao is still happy to do so.
Jin Hui's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. With one slash, she destroyed it with her own hands, cold and resolute.
Why did she do this? How could she do this?
Shen Hao once regarded Jin Hui as his lifeline. She was his bond with the world and a light that illuminated him in the darkness.
At this moment, Jin Hui's actions shattered his hopes. The light source gradually went out, his eyes blurred, and the pain became numb.
His mind was out of control, filled with hatred, and Shen Hao's unrestrained laughter echoed in the cellar.
His face was stained with blood from his wounds, which slowly slid down, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.
Jin Hui's breathing became sluggish, and it felt as if countless needles were piercing her body, tearing at every inch of her skin, piercing her to the bone.
"Twenty-one more cuts to go, continue."
Lu Mingxiao's expression was somber, and his voice was cold and unyielding.
Her hand trembled violently as Jin Hui stared at Shen Hao, the knife tip drawing near once more.
Just when everyone thought she would continue to obey orders, Jin Hui suddenly grabbed Luo Qingyue's wrist, pulled her to her side, and held a knife to her neck.
Luo Qingyue's back stiffened instantly, and she let Jin Hui lead her backward, leaning against the cement wall.
Lu Mingxiao frowned deeply and, together with Shen Hao and Yin Xingwei, walked towards them.
Jin Hui stared directly at Lu Mingxiao and said coldly, "Give me Shen Hao, and I'll release your girlfriend."
It wasn't a negotiation or a discussion; it was telling Lu Mingxiao that he had no other choice.
Indeed, for Lu Mingxiao...
Luo Qingyue was a thousand times more important than his own life, and he would never allow anything to happen to her.
His gaze focused, and without hesitation, he replied to Jin Hui, "Okay, deal."
Yin Xingwei, adopting the posture of an observer, couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"Ah Hui, why are you doing this? The police are all guarding outside. Even if you rescue this brat, you won't be able to escape."
"Since you've decided to make him take the blame, you might as well go all the way and be the bad guy. At least you'll still have a chance to save yourself. Suddenly you've made it so touching. I don't know whether to praise your deep affection or scold you for being as naive as a young girl who hasn't experienced the world."
Looking at Shen Hao's frail appearance, Jin Hui felt a pang of heartache, like she was feeling sorry for the beloved porcelain doll from Girls' Generation that she had broken.
"You want to die too, don't you?" she said coldly. Yin Xingwei covered his mouth, and then Jin Hui turned her gaze to Lu Mingxiao.
Jin Hui has always been risk-aware.
As a well-known female entrepreneur in China, with her current status and position, safety is of paramount importance.
This is precisely why this country villa came into being.
It was carefully designed and built, and has the function of preventing disasters and providing a place to hide and escape from the world.
The cellar contains an escape route, which can only be unlocked by Jin Hui's voiceprint.
She counted down from three and pushed Luo Qingyue into Lu Mingxiao's arms. Lu Mingxiao kept his promise and handed over Shen Hao.
Jin Hui grabbed Shen Hao's arm, turned around and gave him the six-digit password. A loud noise was heard, and the wall behind them slowly rose up, revealing the entrance to the escape route.
The path from the entrance to the cellar is winding and full of hidden doors.
Luo Qing sighed at the complex terrain; if Wan Yu hadn't led the way and scouted it out beforehand, she and Yin Xingwei would likely have lost their way.
Luo Qingyue was held in Lu Mingxiao's arms. She turned her head to watch Jin Hui and Shen Hao disappear into the darkness.
The wall slowly collapsed, and the two figures quickly disappeared as well, but Lu Mingxiao and Yin Xingwei made no move.
"Shouldn't we chase after them?" Luo Qingyue asked, looking at them.
Lu Mingxiao gently rubbed Luo Qingyue's head, letting her rest her cheek against his chest.
With an air of detached understanding, he calmly replied, "Give them time to say their final goodbyes."
——
The escape route was cramped. Jin Hui was in front, and Shen Hao was behind, their footsteps echoing in the distance.
The lights on the stone walls on both sides lit up one by one as they approached, and then quickly went out after they passed.
Jin Hui gripped Shen Hao's arm and walked quickly, not daring to stop for even a moment.
She didn't turn to look at Shen Hao's scarred face, but explained everything to him in detail.
"This connects to my private harbor. Once you're outside, you can get on the yacht and head east."
"The yacht is fully equipped with supplies and daily necessities, enough to last for a year and a half. After that, you will have to fend for yourself and never come back."
No one answered from behind, so Jin Hui asked the question as usual, raising her voice.
"You brat, did you hear me?!"
Shen Hao stopped and pulled Jin Hui back.
He pressed her shoulders against the wall, their bodies pressed tightly together.
When there was silence, the light source went out first, then lit up again with a sneer from Shen Hao.
Their noses touched, and the bloody knife wound was right in front of Jin Hui's eyes, causing her shoulders to involuntarily shrink inward.
The movement was subtle, yet Shen Hao noticed it clearly.
He grasped Jin Hui's wrist and lifted it up, gently brushing his cheeks with her fingertips.
"Don't be afraid," he said softly. "Of course you should appreciate your own masterpiece, right?"
"Feel sorry."
Jin Hui spoke calmly to Shen Hao about how she was brought here, saying, "Their plan was flawless, and at that moment, I had no choice."
Shen Hao couldn't detect a trace of remorse in her words.
She gently lifted Jin Hui's chin and said, "No, you do."
The knife that Jin Hui threw away was picked up by Shen Hao at some point.
He plunged the knife tip toward Jin Hui's cheek, slowly slicing it down: "You can stab Lu Mingxiao and kill him, but you expect me to accept this cruelty, even though we're in the same boat."
This is what she owes him. Jin Hui endured the pain, pursed her lips, and said without any complaint.
As the knife sliced across his left cheek, Shen Hao moved it to his right: "I thought the whole world would abandon me, except you, no matter when, where, or what happened." He chuckled self-deprecatingly as he spoke, "However, I was just a pawn you kept. Sacrificing me to ensure President Jin's peace for the rest of his life was a way of maximizing my usefulness."
With a cut on each cheek, Shen Hao carefully examined his masterpiece.
Seeing that he didn't continue, Jin Hui pushed him away without any explanation or rebuttal.
"It's good that you know. It's not too late to realize your true identity now."
"However, I saved you, so we're even. Enough with the nonsense, get out of here."
"Get out? Where can a sinner like me get out?"
Shen Hao once again pinned Jin Hui down, saying, "Rather than live a life of hiding and running away in the future, I'd rather die a glorious death right now."
Jin Hui gasped for breath.
Shen Hao's lips brushed against her ear, his smile dark and terrifying.
"Of course, you have to stay with me."
"If I couldn't have a proper status with you while I'm alive, then I'll go to hell and be a pair of illicit lovers. That way, no one can separate us."
Jin Hui thought she had misheard, and said in a condescending tone, "Say it again if you dare."
In the past, when he noticed she was angry, Shen Hao would always smile and coax her, changing the subject by hugging and comforting her.
However, at this moment, he gently brushed the knife against Jin Hui's neck and continued, following her words, "President Jin's hands are stained with blood. Even if you get out, they won't let you go. I can't bear to leave you to suffer bullying. Anyway, the world can't tolerate us, so let's die together. It's romantic and heroic. I'm very tempted and can't wait."
Shen Hao wasn't joking; he had truly gone mad.
His eyes held a sinister glint, as if he wanted to devour Jin Hui alive.
The business empire is not yet complete, and the young talents haven't had a chance to fully enjoy it.
She hadn't had enough of the days of being respected, surrounded by admirers, and living a life of extravagance and indulgence.
Countless beautiful things lingered in her world, and Jin Hui never imagined death.
Now, Shen Hao, driven by his own selfish desires, wants to drag her down with him.
She couldn't accept it, and she couldn't accept it; fear spread through the chilling air.
There were only twenty meters left to the exit of the escape route.
As long as she can get out, there will be people eager to be her scapegoats.
Given her status and position, she has plenty of ways to find a place for herself in this world.
Driven by a thirst for life, Jin Hui kicked Shen Hao aside and ran forward.
"Go die if you want, who wants to die with you?" Jin Hui thought to herself, determined not to associate with madmen.
Dawn was just ahead, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, but the sharp blade caught her off guard and plunged heavily into her heart from behind.
Only five meters left.
Jin Hui bled profusely and suddenly collapsed to the ground. She struggled to cover her chest, but did not give up and slowly crawled forward.
The speed at which one's strength is exhausted is only a blink of an eye.
Jin Hui lay prostrate on the ground, her hand touching the door, and the scene before her gradually blurred.
How wonderful it would be to breathe fresh air again, to watch the gentle breeze and drizzle, the sunlight and dew brushing against my fingertips.
But she was so tired, so sleepy. She knew she would never have another chance in this lifetime. Perhaps this was God's punishment for her.
Tears streamed down her face, and her breathing, heartbeat, and pulse gradually weakened.
Shen Hao sat next to Jin Hui, leaning against the door, watching her blood flow down to his legs, soaking his clothes.
From then on, Ah Hui belonged to him alone.
They can stay together forever.
Shen Hao took Jin Hui's hand and helped her close her eyes.
He held her in his arms and lowered his head to kiss Jin Hui's lips.
An unprecedented sense of satisfaction resonated in his world.
Shen Hao took out the last strip of hallucinogenic drugs from his pocket and swallowed three pills.
He would never forget the stunning beauty of Jin Hui when he first met her, or the countless moments they shared over the next ten years.
As the drugs invaded and seeped into his internal organs, Shen Hao's thirst for death grew stronger and stronger.
But he was undoubtedly happy and content; even as he stabbed himself, he still looked at Jin Hui with a beaming smile.
In the hazy light, a bright light flashed before my eyes.
Jin Hui, dressed in a black cheongsam, walked gracefully out from the halo of light.
With his last remaining strength, Shen Hao raised his hand and grabbed the phantom.
“Ah Hui…”
I will love you well... forever... always...
