Shen Jinmo's hatred was like a spear piercing through Shen Shuyuan's heart.
She once loved him completely with this heart.
He wished he could rip out her heart and crush it into dust.
"Anyone can hate me, but you can't. Shen Jinmo, how good I am to you, can't you see it or are you blind? Even though you made me lie in a hospital bed for four years and almost died, I still never hated you."
The days I spent as an angel didn't bother you or cling to you; I just thought you would like the days without me.
I did all this because I love you!
Shen Shuyuan roared at Shen Jinmo.
"Did I ask you to love me? I can't bear the consequences of your love. You've made me lose my lover, and my right to love. Now I'm about to lose my life. Your love is so heavy. Tell me, who in this world can withstand the kind of love you have?"
Shen Jinmo raised his lips in a mocking smile, a touch of sorrow spreading across his face.
That feeling of helplessness and powerlessness tormented him day and night.
"I didn't want to become like this, but you all forced me to, you all forced me to!"
Shen Shuyuan bit her dry, parched lips and said painfully.
Her messy hair was torn into a tangled mess, and her eyes were sunken, making her look like a wandering, lonely ghost.
"You were forced to kill my grandmother, forced to anger Old Madam Shen to death, forced to harm my Jiang Zhan and An'an, and forced to kill Jiang Jingyu? Why won't you eat shit when forced to?"
A familiar, cold voice came from the stairwell.
This voice was Shen Shuyuan's lifelong nightmare.
As she turned her head, Lu Zhiwei, dressed in a black coat, walked down the stairs into the dark and gloomy basement.
She was as vibrant and bright as ever, a stark contrast to the miserable and destitute Shen Shuyuan.
They are worlds apart.
Behind Lu Zhiwei followed Steven, whose face was greasy and plastered with a fawning smile.
There was also Luo Xiu, whose face was filled with murderous intent and who exuded an imposing aura.
This dimly lit underground cell seemed to have become a trial chamber, imprisoning Shen Shuyuan alone within it.
Everyone present became a high and mighty judge, someone anyone could step on.
"Did you kill my mother?" Suddenly, a hand pulled her forcefully from behind.
His fingers locked her throat.
Shen Shuyuan stared at Shen Jinmo's bloodshot and terrifying eyes, which revealed murderous intent.
"So what if it's me? She's sinful enough to deserve to die. I'm just acting on behalf of Heaven." Shen Shuyuan's facial muscles twitched, her face completely distorted.
Shen Jinmo's eyes blazed with fury: "Her crimes are naturally subject to legal judgment. What right do you have to judge her?"
"She's just like the old lady, she's always looked down on me. Wouldn't it be better if she died? I could frame Lu Zhiwei, sow discord between you two, and get Ruixi's freedom from Luo Xiu."
"Killing someone is nothing, it's not like I've never done it before." Shen Shuyuan sneered disdainfully.
With a casual remark, it was as if she hadn't taken a human life, but rather some random object that she could burn without a second thought.
"You're asking for it!" As her words fell, Shen Jinmo's grip tightened, and the prolonged feeling of suffocation made her face turn increasingly red.
Speaking has become incredibly difficult.
Shen Shuyuan knew that she couldn't escape.
What awaited her was certain death.
So she was no longer afraid of anything.
To die at Shen Jinmo's hands was the greatest blessing of her life.
"Kill me! Do it!" Shen Shuyuan pleaded in a hoarse voice.
It looked like Shen Shuyuan was about to faint.
Shen Jinmo closed his eyes and withdrew his hand from her throat: "You don't deserve to die by my hand, I find it disgusting."
Shen Shuyuan slumped back to the ground, her hands desperately supporting her weight.
He looked up at Lu Zhiwei and Luo Xiu, who were approaching aggressively.
They all wanted to skin her alive and tear her apart, wishing she would die a thousand times over.
Lu Zhiwei stopped a meter away from Shen Shuyuan.
In fact, she hadn't made 100% preparations before coming to rescue Shen Jinmo.
It was Shen Shuyuan who disrupted her plans.
She couldn't wait any longer, which is why she came here so eagerly.
Shen Shuyuan looked up at Lu Zhiwei, her gaze as cold as a blade, as if it were coated with poison.
“Lu Zhiwei, I hate it when you look at me with that condescending gaze. What right do you have? Without you, I wouldn’t be like this now, and my Ruixi wouldn’t be dead.”
Shen Shuyuan raised her withered, wiry hands from the ground and lunged at Lu Zhiwei like a madwoman.
Lu Zhiwei calmly took a step back.
Shen Jinmo wanted to stop him, but his legs were too weak to move.
Luo Xiu was quick to react, kicking Shen Shuyuan hard in the stomach, sending her flying against the iron railing.
The hard pillar pressed against her back, and combined with the pain in her stomach, Shen Shuyuan clutched her stomach in spasms, leaning against the iron railing as she slowly squatted down.
"You damned woman, you even dare to lie to me, you're really tired of living." Luo Xiu rubbed his hands together and approached Shen Shuyuan again.
He kicked Shen Shuyuan over again.
Blood continued to spill from Shen Shuyuan's lips and teeth, leaving her covered in blood.
Shen Jinmo turned his face away, refusing to look at her pleading eyes.
Lu Zhiwei knew very well that Luo Xiu hated being played with.
Shen Shuyuan, however, completely fooled them all right under his nose.
He couldn't stand it.
While Luo Xiu was dealing with Shen Shuyuan, he took advantage of the moment.
Lu Zhiwei knelt down in front of the lifeless corpse on the ground.
I observed a three-minute silence in remembrance of Mizuki.
Although Shen Shuyuan is hateful, the child is pitiful.
