Chapter 353 To Achieve the Goal, Any Means Required
"Are you crazy, Shen Qingzhuo?!"
Sang Ruo swallowed nervously, then rushed towards the door.
She was going downstairs so fast that she almost tripped and fell.
When they got downstairs, they found that the front door was locked and even the windows were fitted with security bars. Not even a fly could escape from here, let alone a person.
She tried repeatedly to pry open the door handle, but she couldn't open it no matter what she did.
"Don't bother trying. There's a fingerprint lock on the inside of this door, and only I can open it."
Just then, a cold, menacing voice came from behind.
Sang Ruo turned around in disbelief, looking at him angrily: "What do you mean? Are you planning to trap me here and never let me out?"
"I will let you go, but not now. I will let you go when you are willing to stay by my side."
Shen Qingzhuo came downstairs and approached her step by step.
Sang Ruo looked at his face. He was still as gentle as ever, but there was a hint of indifference in his eyes. Yet she felt that he was a stranger to her, as if she had never really known him.
Why do this?
"What else could it be? I've already told you everything that's on my mind. I don't want you to go back to those two men. I want to protect you and I don't want to see you get hurt again."
Shen Qingzhuo cupped her face in his hands: "I want you to stay by my side, I want you to fall in love with me, and we'll get married and have children..."
"But these are just what you want, not what I want. I don't love you! The person I love is Bo Jinyan!"
"I really don't understand, what's so good about those two men? Bo Jinzhou personally sent you to prison, and Bo Jinyan is surrounded by so many scheming and treacherous people, with a whole bunch of women clinging to him. Don't you think you've suffered enough injuries already?"
"No matter what, I could never fall in love with you! You'd better let me out before I have the patience to talk to you properly! Otherwise, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
Sang Ruo looked at him with a gloomy expression, her eyes filled with hatred.
Shen Qingzhuo glanced at her and said quietly, "Whether you hate me or despise me, I will never let you out!"
“I used to think that woman surnamed Fang was crazy enough, but now I realize…” Sang Ruo yanked his hand away from her face: “You’re the real madwoman!”
"I don't care what you think of me, as long as I don't let you continue to get hurt, as long as you fall in love with me, I'm willing to take any blame." Shen Qingzhuo ignored her and turned to walk towards the kitchen: "You must be hungry after sleeping for so long, right? I'll make you something to eat."
"I don't want to eat! I want to get out! Let me out right now!"
Sang Ruo quickly followed, grabbed his hand, and strode towards the door.
What are you going to do?
"Didn't you say that only you can open this door? Open it for me now!"
She tugged at his hand, trying to put his palm on the doorknob.
The next moment, Shen Qingzhuo suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed her against the door.
The man's face was extremely gloomy: "Bo Jinyan already believes you are really dead, and he's going to hold your funeral in five days! What are you going back for?"
To hold a funeral.
The moment those words were spoken, Sang Ruo's upper eyelashes trembled slightly.
"He hasn't even found me yet, how could he possibly hold a funeral for me?"
"They probably can't find you, so they wanted to build a cenotaph for you..."
"Then you should let me go instead of trapping me here!" Sang Ruo tried to negotiate with him: "Shen Qingzhuo, I saved you twice, you saved me once, and there's another favor you haven't repaid me for. Let me leave here, as repayment for saving my life, okay?"
Shen Qingzhuo looked down at her, feeling inexplicably heartbroken.
In truth, he really didn't want to imprison her, nor could he bear to do so, but he couldn't bear to see her return to the capital and fall back into a world of deceit and treachery.
Do you know who the murderer is this time?
Shen Qingzhuo moved his hands up and placed them on her snow-white neck.
Sang Ruo instinctively swallowed: "Who?"
"That mistress your ex-husband was keeping on the side..." Shen Qingzhuo said bluntly, "But this time we can't find any useful evidence, so we can't bring her to justice. So why are you going back? To continue letting those people frame you? And that guy surnamed Fang, he's no pushover either!"
Upon hearing his words, Sang Ruo's upper eyelashes trembled slightly.
It turns out that the real culprit behind this was Liang Yuxin.
Sang Ruo pulled her hand away from his and, as if she had been possessed, walked towards the sofa.
In the past, no matter how much Liang Yuxin schemed against her, she never intended to kill her. But this time, her actions were truly ruthless.
If it weren't for Shen Qingzhuo, she would probably be dead by now.
What Bo Jinyan was going to arrange for her was a real funeral.
For some reason, even after returning to the capital, where danger still lurked around her, she still wanted to return to Bo Jinyan's side.
For the next two days, Sang Ruo lost her appetite and longed to leave.
Shen Qingzhuo stayed with her all day long, almost never leaving her side.
She sat on the balcony all day, looking at the outside world, her mind filled with the image of Bo Jinyan.
She tried to use Shen Qingzhuo's phone to call Bo Jinyan, but Shen Qingzhuo always had her phone with her, and the two weren't in the same room at night, so she had no way to contact the outside world.
At that moment, she suddenly regretted saving him twice...
Perhaps from his perspective, he was indeed thinking of her best interests, but none of this was what she wanted.
Her longing for Bo Jinyan reached its peak at this moment.
As night fell, she looked at the myriad lights of homes below the mountain, her emotions still unsettled.
"Xiao Ruo, dinner's ready."
Shen Qingzhuo walked towards her and reached out to pat her head.
Now even the honorific title is gone; it's just been changed to "Xiao Ruo."
Oh.
It seems he truly longs for a future with her.
But at this moment she loathed him so much that she didn't even want to see him, and she had some extreme thoughts: she had to leave here tonight no matter what!
"Shen Qingzhuo, where is this?"
"South City".
She paused for a moment after the man finished speaking.
South City.
She was more than 500 kilometers away from the capital, penniless, and had no communication devices. How was she going to get back?
If she told Shen Qingzhuo directly, he definitely wouldn't let her go; she could only try to escape.
Because the Shen Qingzhuo she knows now is no longer the man she once knew.
Or rather, this is the real him.
To achieve one's goals, one must stop at nothing.
But how could she possibly let him succeed?
