It was also a night of thunder and lightning. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the dark sky seemed to be collapsing.
The strong wind chased the heavy rain, the heavy rain chased the strong wind, the wind and rain joined together to chase the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole world was in the rain.
Five-year-old Shi Qi was running in a dark and endless alley. The heavy rain fell on her panicked little face, flowed into her eyes, and blurred her vision.
There was boundless fear in her small eyes, and she ran hard alone.
Run!
Get out of here!
They are chasing us!
Mom! Mom! Where are you? I'm so scared!
The muddy path was bumpy, and every time Shi Qi's short legs ran over a puddle, large waves of mud and water would splash, covering her wet shoes and trouser legs.
The alley was dark and long, as if it had no end. No matter how hard Shi Qi ran, she couldn't get out. The heavy and powerful footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer. The sound of water splashing in the puddles reached her ears, which immediately made her heart jump.
She ran for a long time and was very tired and her feet were sore.
But she couldn't stop, because the people behind her were chasing her relentlessly, and the gleaming shadows of swords were swaying arrogantly in the rainy night.
Shi Qi's pale face was so frightened that it was completely bloodless, and his pupils were full of terror and fear.
But she really had no strength left, she was even gasping for breath, but there was thunder in the dark sky, and the rumbling sound made her feel weak all over and her legs felt powerless.
"ah!"
Shi Qi slipped on the muddy slope and fell to the ground. His knees and elbows were rubbed raw, and blood mixed with mud left hideous wounds on his white arms.
She fell to the ground, gasping for breath, tears mixed with rain rolling down her cheeks.
She looked at the tall figure approaching. A flash of lightning rumbled down. In the flickering light and shadow, the man's cold and ruthless face and the shining dagger in his hand became extremely clear in an instant.
The moment the man swung the sharp dagger, Shi Qi's pupils shrank and a tearing scream came from the tip of his throat, "Ah——"
Shi Qi, who had completely fainted, suddenly heard her mother's anxious cry, "Shi Qi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!"
"Dad, Mom, Shi Qi has had a high fever for many days and it won't go away. Can you please call a doctor for her? Please..."
In a daze, Shi Qi felt her mother hugging her tightly, her whole body trembling, tears streaming down her face.
"Xiao Qian, as long as you agree to marry Mr. Mo, he will be willing to support you even if it means raising Shi Qi."
"Brother, I don't want it! Mr. Mo is already over 50 years old. Are you going to sell your sister for the company?"
"Hmph, I've raised you for so many years, isn't it enough for me to do something for my He family?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly.
"Xiao Qian, Mr. Mo is an oil tycoon. He doesn't mind your past with other wild men. After marrying him, you will have no worries about food and clothing. What do you mind?" The middle-aged woman advised earnestly.
"I can't do it!" Mom was stubborn and refused to give in.
"Then take that bastard and get out of the He family. Don't ever call yourself the daughter of the He family again. Get out!" The middle-aged man roared with gritted teeth.
"Ah--" Mom was thrown out of the mansion holding the weak Shi Qi. The heavy rain had been falling for many days.
Shi Qi's face was extremely red, and his whole body was soft and weak. He was held tightly in his mother's arms, and the heavy and cold rain chilled his whole body over and over again.
"Mom..." Shi Qi murmured in a mosquito-like voice.
"Shi Qi, be good. Mommy will take you away from here right now."
