The man's arrival surprised everyone present, and Sun Chen's live stream chat exploded.
Oh my god, why is he here?
How dare he show his face!
I really want to go over there and kill him!
[You beast, die!]
[...]
Grandpa Sun was very agitated. He picked up a water glass and threw it at him. "You beast! How dare you treat my Chenchen like this... What did you tell me when you married her? You told me not to worry, that you would take care of her and love her for the rest of my life... You beast... If you don't love her anymore, why can't you give her back to me? Why did you hurt her like this! Tell me!"
Everyone present was furious, and even the reporter who was live-streaming with his equipment wanted nothing more than to tear the man in front of him apart.
Only Sun Chen's eyes remained remarkably calm.
Not wanting to waste any more time, the man knelt down directly before Sun Chen.
“Sun Chen, I’m here today to apologize to you. I’m not human. I shouldn’t have treated you like that.”
Standing to the side, Xu Lai roared and demanded, "What? Explain yourself! How did you treat her?!"
The man could only grit his teeth and say, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so heartless as to sell you for money. I shouldn't have let them turn you into a human pig just because I was afraid you'd have a chance to escape back to China. I'm not human, Sun Chen, I'm sorry..."
Sun Chen closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
The man slapped himself hard across the face. "I know I'm not human, I have no right to ask for your forgiveness, but I truly know I was wrong, Sun Chen. We're still husband and wife. I beg you to forgive me. I promise to take good care of you for the rest of my life and atone for my sins..."
"What right do you have to atone for your sins? What right do you have to take care of her!" Xu Lai roared. "If apologies were enough, what would be the point of the law! It's just a pity that the law can't sentence you to death!"
The man looked aggrieved. "I really know I was wrong. If I go to jail, won't Sun Chen and Grandpa be even less taken care of?"
"Get out!" Grandpa Sun clutched his chest, almost unable to catch his breath. "My grandson and I don't need a beast like you to take care of us! Get out! Don't let me see you again!"
The man seemed to be overjoyed and hurriedly rolled away.
He returned to the hotel. "I've already apologized, you saw that, right?"
The lawyer gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
"What do you mean by this?" The man panicked instantly. "I've already apologized, you have to keep your word!"
The lawyer smirked, "I always keep my word. Someone, come here."
The bodyguard quickly came in with a syringe.
The man was thrilled and immediately rolled up his sleeves. "Come on, hurry up, here!"
After receiving the injection, the man breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, from now on, I'll keep to myself and the Imperial View Group. Goodbye forever."
"Indeed, this is goodbye forever," the lawyer said quietly. "May you rest in peace."
The man felt that his gaze was sinister, so he didn't dare to linger and left immediately.
......
When Qiao Wanwan woke up from her afternoon nap, she saw the apology video. Just as she was wondering what was going on, Su Jing hurriedly came in with her phone, knocking on the door. "Wanwan, look!"
"Mom, what happened?"
"Sun Chen's husband... he committed suicide by jumping off a building!"
"What?" Qiao Wanwan hurriedly took her phone and saw the news that Sun Chen's husband had fallen to his death.
"How could he suddenly die?" Qiao Wanwan frowned. "Was it an accident?"
"I don't know, the police should be investigating," Su Jing said. "This kind of person doesn't deserve to die, it's just a pity that even if he dies, it can't undo the harm Sun Chen suffered."
“Mom, there are some things we can’t control, so don’t think too much about it,” Qiao Wanwan comforted her. “I’ve already contacted relevant experts to see if there’s any way to help Sun Chen live a better life.”
"Yes, just tell me if you need anything, Mom will be happy to help."
Qiao Wanwan smiled slightly. "Didn't you already start a fundraising campaign for Sun Chen online? You even donated five million yourself."
"Money is a small matter, and for Sun Chen right now, money is not actually that useful."
Qiao Wanwan patted her shoulder, offering silent comfort.
Sun Chen's husband jumped from the rooftop of his own home. The rooftop was a terrace where residents could hang their things out to dry. Because theft was common, one family had installed surveillance cameras and filmed his jump.
At the time of the incident, he went up to the top floor alone and jumped off.
His parents, however, did not believe that their son would commit suicide, insisting that he had been murdered.
After the police performed an autopsy, they found nothing wrong. The two men were not satisfied and said that their son was driven to death by the Dijing Group and demanded that the Dijing Group pay them compensation.
The entire nation was speechless.
Qiao Wanwan naturally ignored such people. They couldn't get close to the Imperial View Group or Wutong Bay anyway. They just cried and made a scene on live stream every day, and all the netizens below were cursing them.
Before going to sleep, Qiao Wanwan flipped through a book while stealing glances at the man beside her.
"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting asked, who was reading a book. "Do I look especially good today?"
"You look great every day, not just today," Qiao Wanwan flattered. "Jingting, was that person's death your doing?"
The man neither confirmed nor denied, saying, "Everything is subject to the police's announcement."
"You didn't deny it, so that means you admit it?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously. "How did you do that?"
"Wanwan, these are not things you should ask about." Zhan Jingting closed the book, turned to look at her, and said, "These are things I don't want you to know."
