CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 408

Mo Yifeng looked at Ye Chen, his eyes full of displeasure, but still said, "No, I’m here to bring her some joy."

"Joy?" Ye Chen paused and then saw Mo Yifeng wave his hand, and three ragged people subsequently walked in.

Ye Chen suddenly smiled charmingly, his peach blossom eyes brimming with wickedness.

"It seems we are birds of a feather."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen also gestured, having his assistant bring in five homeless men.

Mo Yifeng was pondering over the people Ye Chen had arranged when Qin Shuang was also pushed in.

Qin Shuang’s recent days in prison had been tough, being bullied by the prison head every day, forcing her to kneel for food and demanding she clean the toilets every day.

Initially, Qin Shuang was extremely dissatisfied with the prison head and even claimed that once she got out, she would make the prison head and her family suffer extensively.

But the result was being brutally beaten several times, which silenced her bravado.

Of course, during the beatings, Qin Shuang pretended to have an asthma attack, hoping to get the prison head punished and to be sent to the hospital.

However, the prison head and her cronies did not fear trouble; they continued to beat her even as she feigned illness, until she dared not pretend anymore.

Once, Qin Shuang genuinely had an asthma attack, but obviously, these few people didn’t take it seriously—they just left her lying there until she woke up.

After several days, Qin Shuang felt all her sharp edges being worn down, continuously trying to contact her parents and escape this wretched place.

But what puzzled her was that her parents, who had been assuring her through someone else that they would rescue her soon, had not sent any messages in the last few days.

What was going on? Could it be that even they had given up on her?

No!

She was the only daughter they had left, how could they give up on her?

Holding on to this hope, Qin Shuang endured these days.

But because she was constantly accruing new injuries before old ones had healed, her whole body became emaciated, the gray prison clothes hanging loosely on her.

Until she was pushed into this room and saw Ye Chen and Mo Yifeng.

Qin Shuang’s eyes nearly brimmed with hot tears.

"Brother Chen, Yifeng! You’ve finally come to take me out..."

She even lunged towards Ye Chen, trying to feel the warmth of his body to confirm she wasn’t dreaming.

In this hellish place, she had been dreaming almost every day, dreaming that Ye Chen realized how excessive his actions were and personally came to take her away.

But every time she woke up, she realized it was just a dream.

So, when she actually saw Ye Chen, Qin Shuang couldn’t help but doubt her own eyes, afraid that this was just another dream.

Yet as she lunged towards Ye Chen, he pushed her away.

"Brother Chen?" Qin Shuang was somewhat taken aback, but then she remembered Mo Yifeng was also present.

Perhaps Ye Chen didn’t want to create a misunderstanding with Mo Yifeng, so he refused her hug.

Thus, Qin Shuang turned to Mo Yifeng: "Yifeng, did you make arrangements with Brother Chen to fetch me today? Let’s leave quickly then, I really can’t stand being in this hellish place any longer."

As for the prison head and those who had bullied her, she would definitely not let them go.

Once she left this hellish place, she would find people to deal with them thoroughly...

As Qin Shuang spoke, she reached out to pull Mo Yifeng and tried to hold onto Ye Chen.

However, at that moment, Mo Yifeng directly shook off her hand, "You’re thinking too much, I’m just here to deliver some benefits."

Qin Shuang did not pay much heed to Mo Yifeng’s refusal.

Since Mo Yifeng had always been averse to her touch—even though they were engaged, they had barely held hands a few times.

She asked Mo Yifeng in surprise, "Benefits? What benefits? Yifeng, leaving here is the biggest benefit to me right now."

But in response to Qin Shuang, it was Ye Chen.

"You have no hope of leaving here in this lifetime."

Qin Shuang turned back in shock, only to see Ye Chen smiling wickedly at her.

Qin Shuang’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly having a bad premonition.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean?"

"It means you’re going to rot in jail!"

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Mo Yifeng added, "But Young Master Ye and I were afraid you’d be lonely here, so we brought you a benefit."

With those words, Mo Yifeng gestured, and all the homeless went towards Qin Shuang.

Only then did Qin Shuang realize something was wrong and hurriedly stepped back.

"No, what are you going to do?"

"When you had someone attack Dingding before, wasn’t it all smooth sailing? How come it feels so unfamiliar when it’s your turn?"

Mo Yifeng was smiling, but his handsome face seemed covered with a chilling frost.

Qin Shuang immediately understood Mo Yifeng’s implication—he wanted those homeless to...

"Don’t! I am your fiancée, getting others to do these things to me, aren’t you just placing a green hat on your own head!"

As Qin Shuang backed away in fear, she quickly looked at Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen, you care about me the most, right? Please save me!"

"As long as you save me, once I get out, I’ll call off the engagement with Mo Yifeng and be with you."

But all she received in return was Ye Chen’s cold scoff.

"The homeless here, three are benefits given by your fiancé, and five are from me. All together, eight of them—just twice the number of people you hired to deal with Dingding. Double the benefits."

Qin Shuang realized then that Ye Chen meant not only would he not save her, but also that he was striking her while she was down.

At that moment, Qin Shuang’s heart sank dramatically, as she shook her head fiercely.

"No, you can’t do this to me. Mo Yifeng, I am your fiancée, doing this will bring divine punishment upon you."

"And Ye Chen, I am your life savior! How you treat me will have consequences."

But the determined men were each busy with their own tasks, ignoring Qin Shuang.

Ye Chen was instructing his assistant to set up filming equipment on the side, while Mo Yifeng signaled for people outside to keep watch, ensuring no one got close enough to hear noises.

Seeing that both of them were unmoved, Qin Shuang could only hide in a corner, curling up tightly.

"You can’t touch me, I am the cherished daughter of the Qin Family. If you dare to touch me, my parents will never let you off."

But the homeless kept closing in, with some even starting to rip her clothes.

Seeing their dirt-stained hands and smelling their foul odor, Qin Shuang felt she was going crazy.

"Don’t! You can’t... Mom and Dad, please come save me!"

"Stop shouting, they are too overwhelmed themselves, not even having a place to stay! Even if you scream your lungs out, they won’t come to save you."

Ye Chen bluntly threw out these words, shocking Qin Shuang so much that she momentarily ignored the homeless tearing at her clothes and rushed to Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean? How could my parents not even have a place to stay?"

"Your Qin Family is about to declare bankruptcy, just within these couple of days. But, you still have a piece of good news."

Ye Chen enjoyed the helpless and shocked look on Qin Shuang’s face, thinking only about how desperate Yu Dingding must have been while going through those things.

"What good news?" Qin Shuang had a bad feeling in her heart, always feeling that the so-called good news from Ye Chen’s mouth was certainly not what she wanted to hear.

Ye Chen coolly hooked his lips: "Your dad is suspected of embezzling public funds, and many violations were found in your mom’s cosmetic company. In a couple of days, they should probably be sent here as well, and then your family of three can reunite in jail."
