CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 271 THE FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT 1

Li Yanan slowly took out the old DV and placed it on the coffee table in front of Susan He.

At first, despite her doubts and wariness, Susan He didn’t let herself show her cards prematurely.

But soon, she seemed to realize something, her eyes widening in shock as she stood up!

Without saying a word, Li Yanan opened the DV and turned the volume to its maximum.

In an instant, shrill screams and mocking laughter filled the room.

And Susan He’s face turned pale in an instant!

The screams seemed to drag her back to that day, and the DV footage was directed at Li Yanan’s side.

-- Sister, since you like staring at me so much, I’ll sew your eyes open, so you can see everything clearly!

-- Tu Wanzi, you killed me!

-- Haha, sister, how could I bear to kill you?

The chaotic dialogue was accompanied by cries of extreme pain, making the room feel like a living hell.

Susan He’s hands suddenly clenched tightly, her gaze filled with hatred as she looked at the expressionless Li Yanan!

-- So noisy, might as well sew this mouth shut as well?

Li Yanan had only seen the first few minutes of this video before he received a call about his grandmother’s accident.

-- Don’t worry sister, I even found a man for you, you’ll surely taste ecstasy!

Soon, along with Tu Wanzi’s voice, a very familiar man’s figure appeared in the video.

"Enough! Li Yanan, enough!"

Susan He made a move to smash the DV, but Li Yanan seemed to anticipate her intent, swiftly snatching it back.

His features were cold and indifferent.

Susan He’s chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with a vicious glare at Li Yanan!

"In your bones, you really do have the blood of that beast!"

The video continued to play, but the man called by Tu Wanzi was unmistakably familiar!

"From the first moment I saw you, I felt repulsed!" Susan He rarely showed her true emotions.

Years ago, Tu Wanzi and Li Yingying brought her to the basement, in an attempt to drive her mad, they sewed her eyelids to her brow bone with needles!

Because her screams were so piercing, Tu Wanzi then sewed her mouth shut with needles.

Later, Tu Wanzi called Lu Dawei, and she was forced to endure degrading abuse time and again.

By the time she was sent to the hospital, she was barely breathing...

Tu Xinya nearly died during the birth of Zhenxin, and the inner walls of her uterus were damaged and thinned.

After this traumatic event, even with the doctor’s diligent efforts, she still had to have her entire uterus removed.

And to Tu Xinya, this was not the worst of it!

Because of this, ever since her return, Tu Xinya used Tu Haohao’s situation as a fatal blow to Tu Wanzi.

Yet unexpectedly, this twist of fate led to Tu Haohao also having her uterus removed...

Tu Xinya only felt that this was the debt being repaid, heaven was indeed helping her!

"Give Zhenxin back to me!"

"Impossible! I will never allow Zhenxin to be with that beast’s child!"

This time, she came back to take Lin Zhenxin away, she absolutely could not tolerate Zhenxin being with that man’s son!

This was simply a disgrace to herself!

"This video or He Nuoxin, choose one!" Li Yanan spoke neither with anger nor a smile, as if devoid of feelings.

Susan He never expected that this video recorded by Li Yingying back then would end up in Li Yanan’s hands, and moreover...

He would use it to threaten her?

"Haha, Elliott, you think having those two things means you can threaten me?"

Susan He seemed reminded of something, her expression suddenly relaxed significantly, she then sat back down in front of him!

"Unfortunately, I also have two things in my hands that you care about!"

The tense atmosphere in the room was suddenly interrupted by three consecutive knocks at the door.

"He Nuoxin is here," Li Yanan said coldly.

Susan He made a call on the internal line, and her assistant Hu Po quickly came and opened the door.

But as the door opened, even someone as composed as Hu Po couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

The person who entered was indeed He Nuoxin, yet also not He Nuoxin.

This paradoxical statement was just the right way to describe the scene before her.

Xun Chen and another person dragged in He Nuoxin, her hands and feet twisted in a bizarre position, as they entered through the door.

"Aunt... Aunt help me..."

He Nuoxin was brought up through a special passage, and inevitably hit her injuries along the way, the pain twisting her insides.

Susan He’s lips tightened into a straight line upon hearing that voice.

She had already guessed that falling into Li Yanan’s hands wouldn’t end well for He Nuoxin, but she never expected...

It was even more tragic than she imagined!

Still held captive in Xun Chen’s hands, every casual movement brought excruciating pain to He Nuoxin.

Upon seeing Susan He, He Nuoxin’s first action was to burst into loud sobs.

Her anguished cries echoed repeatedly in the room.

But then...

Li Yanan gave her an imperceptible look, and He Nuoxin’s cries were abruptly cut off!

"Li Yanan, don’t push me!"

"Zhenxin and my son, I want them both!" Li Yanan clearly had no patience left.

"Haha, impossible!"

"Aunt..."

"Shut up!" This time, before Li Yanan could respond, Susan He was the first to shout in anger!

"I can’t possibly give Zhenxin back to you, besides... she’s no longer in J City now!"

Last night, Susan He had borrowed a friend’s private plane to take her out of J City, and by now...

She’s probably already there!

"I’ll have her memory erased, so she never recalls anything that happened in J City! I’ll make her forget you, I’ll make her forget this disgrace! She won’t even remember that child!" Just as Susan He finished speaking, there was a snapping sound, and when she looked down, her eyes widened in shock.

The snapping sound was actually Li Yanan crushing the teacup on the table in his bare hand.

The shards of the broken teacup cut into his hand, drawing blood that dripped down his slender fingers, pattering onto the floor.

When Susan He and Li Yanan’s eyes met, the chill she felt forced a shiver out of her.

As for Li Yanan, he simply pulled out a tissue, wiping the bright red blood.

"No matter how many times Zhenxin’s memory is erased, as long as we meet again, she’ll fall in love with me all over again!"

Li Yanan’s voice was cold and deep.

Susan He’s heart trembled, so certain, was he?

Certain that even with erased memories, Zhenxin would fall in love with him again?

Was this arrogance? Or confidence?

"You’re that sure? Sure Zhenxin will fall for you again?" Susan He wanted to know where he got such confidence.

Li Yanan’s gaze scanned over her, but he said nothing more, yet the certainty in his eyes was unmistakable.

Susan He’s heart was like it was stifled by a lingering pressure.

Even at death’s door yesterday, Lin Zhenxin was only thinking of Li Yanan!

Her daughter was so enamored with this man!

Her gaze slowly scanned Li Yanan’s face, bearing a resemblance to Lu Dawei due to their shared bloodline.

In an instant, Susan He felt utterly disgusted like she’d swallowed a fly!

"Elliott, let’s get back to the point."

"You have two things, but I also have two things!"

Ignoring the blood-stained teacup shards on the coffee table, Susan He drummed her fingers rhythmically on it.

"You have this video and Nuoxin, but I have your son and... your mother!"

As the words landed, even Xun Chen’s complexion changed, but only Li Yanan remained unfazed, looking at Susan He with calm eyes.

"So?"

"So, I exchange what you want for what I want, isn’t that fair?"

Apart from Zhenxin, everything else, she could give him!

"You can collude with the Hong Kong Jiang Family behind Jiang Dongting and the Jin Family from Macao behind Jin Muchi to threaten me, threaten the He Family, but as I understand... the Hong Kong Jiang Family and the Jin Family from Macao are each dealing with their own issues and conflicts now!" Susan He sneered, clearly having done some research.

Li Yanan still said nothing, only looking at her with those cold, dark eyes.

Something seemed to shift in the air.

Susan He had initially thought this was a sure thing, but Li Yanan was not a ordinary man, moreover...

If he truly intended to fall out with her, it would undoubtedly result in mutual destruction.

"Elliott, even if neither of us wants to compromise, why not... find a middle ground?"

Despite her experience, Susan He felt intimidated under Li Yanan’s gaze.

"Oh?" Li Yanan finally spoke.

"I absolutely won’t give Zhenxin back to you, but..." Susan He’s look was meaningful as she eyed Li Yanan.

She couldn’t help but recall Li Yanan’s earlier conviction.

"How about we agree to a five-year pact?"

Li Yanan stayed silent, waiting for her to continue.

"Earlier you said, no matter how Zhenxin’s memory is erased, once you reunite, she’ll fall for you again? So why not take a gamble? Let’s bet whether she will fall in love with you again? You hold off for five years, and if you appear in front of her again after five years, I won’t stand in your way!"

Once she said it aloud, even Susan He was surprised at herself.

She actually proposed such an absurd thing, she found it incredible.

"Elliott, you should know how much I despise you, if you don’t agree..."

"Fine, I agree."

Xun Chen sharply looked at Li Yanan, he never expected he would agree to Susan He’s proposal?

"Moreover, I’ll spare He Nuoxin’s life, but... the manner in which she lives, shall be decided by me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yanan reached out and grabbed He Nuoxin’s jaw, forcing her to open her mouth.
