There was a water cell in the basement of JinGong, and Shen Yihan was locked there. Although he was still breathing, he was no longer like a man. Huo Yunchen stood in front of him, staring sharply at his face. “Huo Yunchen, kill me if you can. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you one day.” Shen Yihan shouted like a crazy, and was sinking into the water again before his words were finished. The water was full of mice, those mice with black eyes glowing green light, digging into his cage and desperately biting his flesh. When his flesh mangled and bled, they would help to treat him again. Even if he wanted to die, they wouldn’t allow it, just keeping him alive to torture and humiliate him.

When he came out of the water again, Liu Kai asked coldly, “Master Shen, do you still have the strength to scold? If I were you, I would obediently confess who instructs you to do so. You know, what we want is not your life, we have 10,000 ways to make you neither live nor die. If Master Shen likes, we can play in a different way tomorrow, how about snakes? Does Master Shen find it exciting?” “No, no, I say, I say everything. It’s Gu Beian, who helps me plan all this. Otherwise, I dare not do it. Mr. Huo, you forgive me, a scum like me is really unworthy of dirtying your hands.”

Shen Yihan finally confessed. It was really hard for him to suffer so much. Liu Kai stared at him coldly, then glanced at Huo Yunchen sitting next to him, and waiting for his order. Huo Yunchen dropped half of his cigarette but on the ground, and his bright leather shoes twisted the cigarette but fiercely. The low voice was spit out from his cool lips: “What about Bai Feifei? Is she working for Gu Beian?” “Yes, Gu Beian rescued me and Bai Feifei, and took us in. Bai Feifei trusts him very much.” Shen Yihan answered with panic.

Liu Kai laughed coldly and mocked: “Well, Master Shen was taken advantage of by others but did not know it. It’s ridiculous.” Shen Yihan didn’t know what was going on between Huo Yunchen and Gu Beian. But thinking about the causes and consequences of these things, he realized that his impulse had been provoked by Gu Bei’an. He immediately knelt down, and repeatedly begged for mercy: “Mr. Huo, please forgive me. I was provoked by Gu Bei’an.” Huo Yunchen smiled coldly, and said coldly: “Give you a chance to redeem yourself by good service. As long as you do well, I can return the Shen Group to you.” Shen Yihan was very grateful and kowtowed dozens of times, “Thank you Mr. Huo, thank you Mr. Huo. I will definitely work for you.”

Huo Yunchen didn’t say anything, and walked away calmly. “Liu Kai, tell him what he should do.” “Yes-” “Thank you Mr. Huo, thank you Mr. Huo.” Shen Yihan watched Huo Yunchen leaving, and he kept kowtowing with the thought that he could get his own property back. “Just follow Gu Bei’an and tell me everything he does. What I want is evidence that can be fatal.” Liu Kai’s cold voice echoed in the basement, full of gloom. “Yes—I know, I will do my best to work for Mr. Huo.” Shen Yihan was very grateful and happy.

Liu Kai personally sent Shen Yihan away. Huo Yunchen’s figure was hidden in the darkness, his eyes staring at the back of the man as he left. “Sir, do you really send him to stare at Gu Beian? Gu Beian has always been suspicious, and he never believes anyone. None of the people we arranged around him in these years has come back alive. Can Shen Yihan be trusted by Gu Beian? “Maybe he can live, or die, what does this have to do with us?” Huo Yunchen’s voice was cold and his eyes were indifferent. Only then did Liu Kai understand his true intentions. If Shen Yihan could work for us, he could live a good life. If not, he would be killed by Gu Beian.

This was like borrowing a knife to kill a man, and he scratched his head and asked: “But sir, what if Shen Yihan betrays us?” “Are we afraid of that?” “No. Only Madam can make you afraid.” Liu Kai thought he was doing a good job, but when he was proud, he met Huo Yunchen’s cold and deep eyes, he immediately stopped talking. “The watch that Shen Yihan carries in his hand, regardless of whether he is alive or dead, must be brought back. “Watch? Oh, well, I remember. “Liu Kai wondered that Shen Yihan couldn’t even look at this broken watch, but why was his master interested in it. He wanted to ask, but dared not to ask too much, probably his master had other uses. A few days later, Bai Qingqing was accompanied by Huo Yunchen to see her mother’s attending physician.

She was an old lady who retired at the age of seventy, having a charitable face, bright ears, and a tough body. When seeing her, she also held her hand and told her a lot of details to pay attention to in early pregnancy, which let Bai Qingqing feel very amiable. But she didn’t take the initiative to mention her mother. It was the old lady who mentioned it herself. When she talked about her mother, the old lady looked sad. “That’s the most beautiful female patient but with the most tragic fate I have ever seen. You are very much like your mother, but you are much happier than your mother, at least you have a husband who loves you. But even if your mother had uterine cancer and it spread to her whole body, your father never came to see her in the hospital. Alas, your mother is very strong-willed. No matter how painful she was during chemotherapy, she had not said anything. She just held a picture of a little girl. It’s a pity that she still hasn’t been able to survive. Now I think the little girl should be you. Child, you must live well and cherish what you have now, so that it doesn’t disappoint your dead mother.”

Bai Qingqing’s heart seemed to be pinched tightly, thinking about the pain her other had suffered during her lifetime, and she felt very painful, too. Leaving the old lady’s house, she snuggled up in Huo Yunchen’s arms along the way and refused to say a word. Huo Yunchen didn’t say anything. His eyes looked out of the window deeply, and he pedestrians and the tall buildings passed by like wind. His heart seemed to be stabbed hard with a long needle, so painful that it was paralyzing. How to make him believe that his own mother caused another woman to grieve all her life and end her life miserably.

And what was he doing? Concealing the truth in order to protect his mother, and deceiving a woman who loved him deeply and trusted him. “Yun Chen, can you help me find my biological father?” “Why do you suddenly want to find him?” “I want to ask him personally why he abandoned my mother at that time, and I want to ask him why he disappeared for so many years, and didn’t come to see me.” Bai Qingqing was a little emotional, and her tears made his shirt wet.

“Okay, I’ll help you find him. You can’t be sad anymore. Have you forgotten what Grandma Xu just said? A good life, a happy life, is the biggest reward for your mommy. Don’t think about too much, okay?” Huo Yunchen’s cool fingertips landed gently on her face, wiping her tears. His voice was gentle, and his eyes looking gentle and tender. Bai Qingqing smiled and gave him a fragrant kiss.

“Grandma Xu is right, I have a husband who loves me so much, and a cute son, and now there are a couple of babies in my belly. This must be my mother’s blessing me in the sky. She must be looking at me. If I’m happy, she will be happy.” “Yes, she will.” Huo Yunchen kissed her and said with a firm tone. Not that he wanted to lie to her, but he was afraid to lose her.
