Chapter 745 The human world, for her, was finally nothing short of hell.
"It's a bit late to realize this now."
Qi Yue took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it by the candlelight on the table.
He took a few slow, deliberate puffs of his cigarette, then flicked the ash into the wine glass he had just finished drinking from, his long, slender fingers holding the cigarette between his fingers.
His handsome face was hidden in the wisps of smoke, his expression somber.
“You Jingqiao, nine years ago I was too soft-hearted and gave her the chance to bite back. I will not make the same mistake twice.”
"Nine years ago, you clearly used your power to force me to leave! You are despicable and insidious. If I hadn't been lucky nine years ago, you would be the mastermind behind my murder. Now you're using the same trick again. Given my current physical condition, you're going to poison me. Qi Yue, if I die, you will also be punished by law, and your child will have a murderer as a father!"
"Playing the emotional card?" Qi Yue sneered, completely unaffected by her. "I'm already a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children for some other woman. What does it matter if I'm also convicted of murder?"
"You're crazy!"
Gong Xinyue could no longer hold back and roared at Qi Yue, "A madman like you has no right to be with An Ning! I'm doing all this to help An Ning. You mentally ill devil, you'll only ruin An Ning! I'm doing this for An Ning's own good, I just want her to be happy, what did I do wrong?!"
"Yes, I am a madman, and a madman like me is not worthy of her. But even if I am not worthy of her, it is not your place, a rat in the gutter, to interfere in and spy on her life! You Jingqiao, we are both sick, we both deserve to die, and we do not deserve to live in this world! Don't worry, after I send you away, I will soon end my own life."
"No, I don't want to die!"
Yu Jingqiao's face turned even paler from the murderous intent in his eyes.
She shook her head. "I barely survived, why should I die? You're the one who deserves to die! Qi Yue, you're the one who deserves to die the most! If it weren't for you, An Ning wouldn't be sad or heartbroken. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have had to lose her uterus to give birth to your child... Yes, it's you. You are the source of all evil. You made her weak and pathetic. You are her unforgivable mistake in this life! You are the biggest calamity of her life. You deserve to die, you deserve to die—"
Gong Xinyue roared, grabbed a Western-style knife from the table, and lunged at Qi Yue—
Unfortunately, she failed to hurt Qi Yue and was instead kicked to the ground by him.
Qi Yue looked down at Gong Xinyue, who was lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. His eyes were devoid of light, like a dark, deep hole.
He said, "I'll deal with you first, then I'll end my own life. Whether it's Gong Xinyue or You Jingqiao, as long as you're no longer in her life, her life will return to peace."
"No, I don't want to die..." Gong Xinyue struggled to sit up, but her body was too weak. "What did you feed me..."
"You don't need to know." Qi Yue turned and walked out.
"Qi Yue—" Gong Xinyue didn't want to die, but she could only watch helplessly as Qi Yue walked out little by little.
Fear gripped her heart; at that moment, she realized she had provoked a complete devil!
The moment the door closed, a soft 'bang' echoed from the kitchen, followed by a burst of flames that shot out rapidly from the kitchen following the fuse that Qi Yue had laid out beforehand—
"Ah—help—ah—"
Gong Xinyue couldn't escape. Her body had lost all mobility due to the unknown drug that paralyzed her nerves, and she could only lie on the ground, watching helplessly as the fire spread throughout her body.
She could clearly feel the excruciating pain of the flames searing her flesh, yet she couldn't even muster a single struggle; only her heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the entire manor.
"When I arrived, the fire was already huge." Zhuang Yu recalled the scene that day, still feeling shocked: "I led a team to fight the fire with all our might, and finally rescued her, but she was burned all over her body. She is now severely infected, and her private doctor just said that if this continues, she may not survive the next two days."
After he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence.
"You did a good job saving her." After a moment, Shen Anning spoke: "If she had really died in that fire, Qi Yue would have really become a murderer."
Upon hearing Shen Anning's words, Zhuang Yu's tense emotions completely relaxed at that moment!
With Shen Anning's arrival, Zhuang Yu felt as if he had suddenly found his pillar of support.
"What should we do now?" Zhuang Yu looked at Shen Anning. "President Qi didn't want her to live, so I took it upon myself to save her. But my abilities are limited, and I don't dare to send her to the hospital for fear of affecting President Qi."
“We must continue to save her, even if she becomes a vegetable and hangs on by a thread, she must live.” Shen Anning’s voice was cold. “The Gong family will not let this go easily after losing a carefully cultivated pawn.”
Zhuang Yu stared blankly at Shen Anning. Only now did he realize what was happening: "Madam, did you already know everything all along?"
“It’s not early.” Shen Anning looked at Zhuang Yu and felt there was nothing to hide at this point: “Initially, I only had some suspicions, but without any evidence, so I kept it in mind and asked my godmother to investigate secretly first.”
Three days after Qi Yue filed for divorce, she received a call from Song Lanyin.
Upon learning that Qi Yue had been to Switzerland, Shen Anning guessed that Qi Yue had regained his memory.
Later, the medical records sent back by Song Wenyuan directly confirmed Shen Anning's guess.
However, the result was even worse than she had expected.
Now that Qi Yue has regained his memory, all of Gong Xinyue's plans are nothing but laughable tricks in his eyes.
But even though Qi Yue had regained his memory, he didn't expose Gong Xinyue. Instead, he went along with Gong Xinyue's lies and proposed a divorce.
At that time, Shen Anning guessed that Qi Yue might have fallen into an extreme mental state again.
The assistant Yun Qin entrusted to was bribed by Gong Xinyue. The two of them naively thought they could fool Qi Yue, but they didn't expect that Qi Yue had already regained his memory.
But this information came too slowly. Qi Yue was eager to take Gong Xinyue away, and Shen Anning had already sensed his unusual behavior at that time.
Shen Anning was disappointed and angry with Qi Yue, not because of his entanglement with Gong Xinyue, but because she felt that after more than 20 years of childhood friendship and four years of marriage, Qi Yue still chose to deal with their marriage in this lose-lose, self-indulgent, and self-righteous way.
That day, when she chased after Qi Yue to the airport to persuade him to stay, it was Shen Anning's last chance for Qi Yue.
Unfortunately, Qi Yue remained obstinate.
That's why she said, "At this moment, I have done enough..."
However, the only thing that was overlooked was that Qi Yue would be so extreme.
He was even willing to bear the stigma of murder...
Shen Anning pulled herself out of her thoughts, took a deep breath, and stepped into the master bedroom.
The woman on the bed, who had been lying on the verge of death, seemed to sense something. She had been unconscious for many days, and now she opened her eyes.
Through her blurry vision, she saw that familiar figure.
Although she couldn't see clearly, Gong Xinyue was certain that it was her.
The girl she could never forget, who shone with light and illuminated her dark life, has arrived.
Gong Xinyue opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but her throat had already been burned, and she could only make a very strange "uh uh uh" sound.
Shen Anning stood by the bed, looking down at her, her beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion.
Even now, her current state of unbearable pain no longer arouses even the slightest bit of sympathy from Shen Anning.
Shen Anning simply said, "You Jingqiao died in that plane crash nine years ago. Now you are called Gong Xinyue. As the second daughter of the Gong family, you have to live. Your burns were an accident, but don't worry, I will ask the world's top medical team to treat you. You won't have an easy life, but I will do my best to protect you and ensure you live to be a hundred years old."
Gong Xinyue's pupils contracted sharply, and she opened her mouth to let out an even more urgent and torn "uh uh uh".
Shen Anning remained unmoved, withdrew her gaze, and turned to walk away.
As she reached the door, Shen Anning stopped and pressed the switch on the wall.
With a 'snap', the light went out, plunging the bedroom into darkness once more.
In Gong Xinyue's vision, Shen Anning had her back to her, and she was still surrounded by light. She stepped forward and walked into that light.
The door slowly closed, and the figure that Gong Xinyue was so infatuated with finally disappeared into the light.
From that moment on, her world was plunged into darkness.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She closed her eyes; at this moment, she truly had no will to live left.
Gong Xinyue thought she was going to die, but Shen Anning kept her word. She invited the world's top burn medical team, built a sterile room in the manor, and used a lot of expensive medicines and advanced equipment. With this series of actions, it would be difficult for Gong Xinyue to die even if she wanted to.
Treatment for extensive burns is extremely painful; every second feels like a year, and the suffering is worse than death.
For her, the human world was now nothing short of hell.
