CHAPTER 1345: CHAPTER 1345: HER RUTHLESSNESS (PART 5)

Life is like drinking water, whether hot or cold, only one knows oneself. Whether Ding Jinshi truly fell in love with Ding Long, no one knows. Perhaps even Ding Jinshi himself is unaware of the answer to this question.

Perhaps, before love could bloom, it was replaced by intense hate. Perhaps, just as love began, it was entirely supplanted by hatred.

Sometimes, for a person, death isn’t the greatest fear. Facing the world alone is the greatest fear.

Ding Long knew that after Ding Jinshi went up the mountain to become a nun, she spent a very long time facing the wall, saying nothing, not moving, as if petrified. Then, one night, she suddenly laughed alone.

His laughter echoed eerily through the prison, yet when listened to closely, it was filled with such sadness, laden with regret.

Several days later, Ding Long was executed by gunshot.

His life was like a legend, vibrant in death, yet peaceful afterward.

In accordance with Ding Long’s last wishes, Chen Yun and others buried Ding Long beside Baobei. Until Ding Long was laid to rest, Ding Jinshi didn’t appear. Ding Father held Ding Long’s tombstone and cried bitterly, yet still didn’t forget to curse Ding Jinshi as a heartless wife who refused to show up even at her husband’s death.

"If you wish to curse, we can’t control your mouths, but please leave this place and don’t soil Baobei’s territory." He Zhilan coldly stared at Ding Father and Ding Mother, then added, "Before Ding Long was executed, he already gave the divorce agreement to Ding Jinshi, so she is no longer Ding Long’s wife. You have no right to scold her. Indeed, besides hating Ding Long, Ding Jinshi hates you, Baobei’s grandparents, the most. If you claim to be the second most heartless in the world, no one would dare to claim to be first."

In the end, He Zhilan couldn’t hold back and directly had Ding Father and Ding Mother dragged out of Baobei and Ding Long’s mausoleum. Ding Long refused to see Ding Father and Ding Mother before his death, clearly showing that he held resentment towards his parents. Here belongs to Ding Long and Baobei, mother and daughter, and naturally can’t be tainted by irrelevants who dirty Baobei’s final world.

On the way back, everyone remained silent in tacit agreement.

Recent events have deeply impacted everyone’s psyche; at this moment, everyone found it hard to bear.

"Lin Chan, help me inform all reporters from major newspapers and media in the capital to meet in the conference room at the old place at seven tonight." He Zhilan suddenly spoke, her ruthless expression startling everyone in the car.

"Why aren’t you resting at home, summoning reporters now?" Lin Chan retorted.

"I naturally have my reasons." He Zhilan shook her head, "I don’t want to sit and wait for death. Even if the entire world points at me and calls me names."

"Why?" Chen Yun chimed in with a question. He wondered, "Why would you be called names by the world?"

He Zhilan didn’t answer again, her demeanor indicating she wouldn’t speak.

Her expression returned to calm, as if the earlier sinister person wasn’t her, but a fleeting illusion for all.

Seeing He Zhilan so insistent, Lin Chan nodded in agreement.

With some time until seven in the evening, He Teng took He Zhilan back to their place, initially wanting to ask what He Zhilan intended to do that night. But seeing that she remained silent, he knew she wouldn’t speak. If he asked, she wouldn’t answer. In short, whatever she wanted to do, he could only support it.
