Chapter 251: Background Cannon Fodder Who Died an Unexpected Death (31)
Ye Congjian wanted to find out the truth from Assistant Wen, but Assistant Wen didn't want to talk to him any more and just left.
"Go and find out what happened to Lin Shichu as soon as possible!" Ye Congjian said to Secretary Xu with a grim expression. For some reason, Assistant Wen's words made him very concerned and even gave him a bad premonition.
"Yes!" Secretary Xu answered immediately, then went to the side to call someone to investigate Lin Shichu's case.
With money and power, it is quick to investigate something. It didn't take Secretary Xu long to receive Lin Shichu's investigation report sent by his subordinates. He didn't dare to open it and sent it directly to Ye Congjian.
Ye Congjian opened the folder with trembling hands, and all the information about Lin Shichu over the past year or two appeared before him.
Lin Shichu's mother and elder brother were in a car accident, one died and the other was injured. His father suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, and the company was on the verge of collapse. Ye Congjian already knew all these things when he decided to take Lin Shichu as his lover. Now, watching it again, I don't know why, I feel even more deeply than the first time I watched it.
When he saw it for the first time, he just felt that Lin Shichu's family was too unlucky, Lin Shichu was very pitiful, and he was helping her by supporting her, nothing else.
Now after watching it again, my heart becomes heavy and painful. I can't help but feel sad for Lin Shichu. Maybe this is the difference between having feelings and not having feelings.
The next period was the time when he and Lin Shichu were together. He introduced some money-making projects to Lin Shichu to help her gain a foothold in the company.
After that, he soon got tired of Lin Shichu's constant flattery, and returned to the capital after the matters of the Yucheng branch were settled.
Not long after he returned to the capital, Lin Shichu had an accident while working overtime late at night and was nearly robbed and killed.
When Ye Congjian saw this, his pupils shrank, his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone, and he even felt panic rising.
A video is also attached to the information.
When Ye Congjian clicked on the video, he saw a vicious man punching and kicking a weak woman in a remote and deserted alley under a street light, and even stabbed her several times with a knife. The woman soon fell down powerlessly, without the slightest ability to fight back.
Ye Congjian seemed to be unable to breathe for a moment. He saw that the woman who was knocked to the ground was Lin Shichu! Stop it! Is there anyone passing by to help? !
Ye Congjian cried out weakly in his heart, his face pale as he guessed what would happen next.
Sure enough, the vicious man pounced on Lin Shichu and began to tear her clothes off unscrupulously.
Ye Congjian bit his lips with anger until they bled, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the person in the video. Just when he couldn't face the next scene and wanted to fast forward and skip it.
Suddenly, Lin Shichu, who had been motionless, moved. With her quick wit, she lifted the hem of the criminal's clothes and strangled him, flipped him up, and kicked him in the lower body with all her strength. While the criminal was wailing and unable to resist, she picked up a knife and stabbed him several times, thus successfully defending herself.
Seeing this, Ye Congjian finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if his heart, which had been squeezed, started beating again. He knew that Lin Shichu would not be defeated so easily. Although she looked weak on the surface, her inner strength was very resilient. Otherwise, she would not have been able to support her family and company so strongly after a major accident at home.
He didn't know that the Lin Shichu he knew actually died at the hands of the gangsters, and the Lin Shichu who successfully fought back against the gangsters was no longer the same person.
Lin Shichu in the video had broken ribs and leg bones, unable to stand up and walk. She was covered in blood and no longer looked like a human being, but she still did not give up. Unable to walk, she struggled to crawl out with her hands, moving little by little, like a dying swan, struggling to crawl towards life.
She crawled for a long time, leaving a bright red, winding and twisting trail of blood behind her, which was dazzling and inexplicably moving.
Ye Congjian couldn't help but press his hand against his heart. His other hand was already clenched into a fist, and his palm was bleeding. For the first time, he felt what it felt like to have a broken heart. The surging and violent emotions in his heart seemed to drown him. He wanted to rush into the video and pick up Lin Shichu and send her to the hospital, instead of letting her crawl on the ground without dignity...
He thought that seeing these things would make him feel the most uncomfortable, but when he saw Lin Shichu's medical report, his face instantly lost color, his eyes turned blood red, and he stared at the word "miscarriage" on the report, "miscarriage caused by a severe external blow"...
Ye Congjian suddenly covered his eyes with his hands, and transparent tears flowed out from between his fingers, silently.
It turned out that he and Lin Shichu had a child, but before he knew it, the child left again.
At that time, he was not with Lin Shichu, but was pursuing another woman in the capital with great fanfare, having no idea that the woman who had given birth to a child for him was struggling between life and death.
He even couldn't wait to give her a final kick on her scarred body when she had just come out of the ghost gate. He abandoned her without hesitation when she had lost half her life and a child and needed help the most.
How desperate would Lin Shichu be at that time? Ye Congjian didn't even dare to think about it. It was a miracle that she could recover to this state and still believe in love and men.
Ye Congjian knew that even if he did it unintentionally, he would never be forgiven by Lin Shichu for taking advantage of his misfortune in such a difficult time.
He had no right to gain her forgiveness, nor did he have the right to hinder her pursuit of happiness after finally coming to terms with her past tragic experiences.
Knowing what had happened to Lin Shichu, Ye Congjian finally lowered his arrogant and proud head. The huge blow made him seem to have aged ten years in an instant.
He had a smooth life since childhood, with a prominent family background, handsome appearance, outstanding talents, and he had hardly encountered any setbacks. But this time, he finally experienced what it felt like to feel heartbroken and torn apart.
Lin Shichu was probably in the same mood when she was lying on the hospital bed and knew she had lost her child. No, she would be even more desperate.
Ye Congjian seemed to be punishing himself. He watched the video of Lin Shichu's accident over and over again, feeling the pain of his heart being cut by a knife over and over again. It seemed that by feeling this pain, he could alleviate some of his inner guilt and remorse, and atone for his sins...
Afterwards, he went to find Lin Shichu again. This time, he did not mention Lin Shichu and Zhao Yicheng's relationship. Instead, he apologized to Lin Shichu painfully: "I'm sorry."
"Why do you want to say sorry to me?" Lin Shichu asked him expressionlessly.
