“What’s wrong, am I not speaking the truth? Hah, Zhou Ran did indeed kill Xu Mengxi, that’s a fact you can’t cover up! You can hide it for a moment, but can you hide it for a lifetime? Xu Chaomu will find out sooner or later, so, you should be thankful to me, shouldn’t you?” Bai Man sneered coldly.
“Even if that’s the case, it’s not your place to speak of it.”
“I played the villain for you, aren’t you going to thank me?”
“Bai Man, you really are shameless.”
Shen Chi took a step forward and crouched in front of Bai Man, his slender fingers lifting her chin.
At such a close distance, Bai Man could see the burning rage in Shen Chi’s eyes.
He was like a bloodthirsty lion in his entirety.
Bai Man wasn’t stupid; she was well aware that if the Bai Family hadn’t owed the Shen Family a favor, Shen Chi would have probably already allowed her, Bai Man, to die several times over by now.
She had seen Shen Chi’s methods herself.
Her cousin Zheng Lin had only provocatively cursed out Xu Chaomu a few times and ended up stripped of her clothes, thrown out in front of everyone!
Shen Chi’s bottom line was Xu Chaomu.
Bai Man turned her head away, shaking off Shen Chi’s hand, and she indeed felt guilty.
“Shen Chi, what do you want to do? This so-called secret of yours, I’ve already spoken it for you. Spilled water can’t be retrieved.”
“Bai Man, it is more than just this. I really underestimated you. You even dared to lie about being pregnant!”
Shen Chi squeezed Bai Man’s jaw; with just a little more strength, he could make her suffer unbearable pain.
“But Xu Chaomu believed it, didn’t she? Look, you treat her so well, yet she doesn’t trust you. She’d rather believe me, Bai Man. Isn’t it ridiculous? Shen Chi, doesn’t your heart hurt right here?”
A smug smile spread across Bai Man’s delicate melon-seed-shaped face.
Her eyes widened, she looked, apparently, very innocent.
“Bai Man, since you’re so eager to be pregnant, shouldn’t I help you achieve that?”
He gritted his teeth, and the words that came out were sharper than the blade of a knife, each word carving into Bai Man’s heart.
Bai Man panicked, fear showing in her eyes: “Shen Chi, what are you doing? You can’t forget, the Bai Family has done a huge favor for the Shen family!”
“I told you, when I handed over that contract to Zhou Peitian to exchange for your life, the favor the Bai Family owed the Shen Family was paid off! Don’t think you can threaten me with that! I, Shen Chi, am not someone who can be threatened by you!”
“Fine, let me go, let me go now, let me leave with the rescue team…”
Bai Man was scared; she knew this man wasn’t someone she could threaten.
It was like an egg striking a rock; the outcome would be disastrous.
“And just let you go like that, how can I be fair to Mumu?”
“Shen Chi… we’ve known each other for so many years. I’m begging you, don’t do anything reckless. Let me go, will you? Once I get back, I’ll talk to my father about calling off the engagement. I won’t cling to you any longer.”
“Bai Man, I don’t believe a word you say.”
Shen Chi was utterly disappointed in Bai Man!
Bai Man was always two-faced, one way in front of others and another behind the scenes.
“Then what do I need to do for you to believe me? How can you not trust me? I have always been true and sincere toward you. Do you know how deeply I love you? Sometimes, to wait for your return, I would stay up until the early hours of the morning. I never cook, but to make a meal for you with my own hands, even if I burn my hand with oil, I would endure the pain.”
“Have you ever thought about how painful it was for Chaomu to take that bullet for me?”
“Shen Chi, don’t be fooled by her. She just wants to win your sympathy by taking a bullet for you, to make you feel more guilty, to make you treat her well for a lifetime! She’s so young yet so scheming. Can’t you see that?”
“Bai Man! Why don’t you take a fucking bullet for me?” Shen Chi roared in fury.
Bai Man instantly backed down.
She admitted that she couldn’t do it; she was afraid of death, afraid of pain.
“Bai Man.” Shen Chi’s eyes, bloodshot, stared at her, “Do you know when people make mistakes, they have to pay the price?”
“Shen… Shen Chi… what exactly do you want to do? Let me go, please let me go…”
“You really want to be pregnant, don’t you? If I don’t help you, how are you going to continue this lie?”
“You, you want to be with me… No, not here…”
Bai Man was trembling all over, her jaw aching from Shen Chi’s grip.
This was a warehouse, a dirty and chaotic warehouse!
Rotten smells were even wafting from all around; she didn’t want it here…
“Heh.” Shen Chi sneered, “Stop dreaming. Do you think I would want you?”
Bai Man’s pupils dilated, and her peach blossom eyes were filled with terror!
What does he mean by that? He can’t do this!
“Shen Chi, you can’t do this to me. We grew up together; the Bai Family and the Shen Family are old family friends, and my father and your parents were classmates! If you do this, you’ll be struck by heavenly lightning!”
“How am I doing this? What do you want me to do?” Shen Chi looked at her leisurely.
Yes, the Shen and Bai families were old family friends, but so what?
He stared into her eyes, his smile sinister and ice-cold.
“Bai Man, I’ve already told you, but you took it for granted. So don’t blame me for being heartless. I said, if you dared to hurt Chaomu by the slightest, I would ensure that the entire Bai Family has no graves to be buried in. I, Shen Chi, keep my word.”
Bai Man was trembling all over; yes, Shen Chi had warned her.
Yet, relying on the amity between the two families, she thought Shen Chi wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on her, so she acted recklessly.
But she was well aware of Shen Chi’s tactics.
To anger him was to have no good end. His patience with her had been completely exhausted!
“No, you have to let me go. I haven’t hurt Xu Chaomu. Shen Chi, please let me leave. Once we return to C City, you can ask me to do anything.”
“Bai Man, you say you are so pretty, is everyone after you?”
Shen Chi pinched her chin, locking eyes with hers.
His face was bleak! Cold! Fierce! More terrifying than the Grim Reaper.
“Shen Chi, you can’t treat me like this. If you dare to treat me this way, my father won’t let you off! Of course, neither will he let off Xu Chaomu! You can protect her for a while, but can you protect her forever?!”
“Is that so? Is that a threat?”
“I… I’m just stating the facts…”
“You should know, I’m the kind of person who dislikes being threatened the most.”
“You… let me go!”
Suddenly, Bai Man’s hand came into contact with a glass bottle and with a “clang,” she smashed it!
Shen Chi’s pupils contracted; he reached out to grab the glass bottle!
But, he was a step too late. Bai Man took a piece of broken glass, holding it to her neck.
“Shen Chi, if you don’t let me go, I’ll die right before your eyes!” Bai Man declared with righteous indignation.
Shen Chi, who at first had a hint of tension on his face, now looked utterly calm and collected.
He let go of her and was expressionless.
