CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 409

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, Qin Shuang almost collapsed.

She had been hoping that her parents would get her out of this trouble, but now that even they were involved, who else could save them?

Qin Shuang hastily pleaded with Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, please don’t do this! I know I was wrong, I will apologize to Miss Yu, I will confess to her! But don’t punish me in such a cruel way, okay?"

In the past, whenever she showed the slightest bit of weakness, even if Ye Chen knew she was truly at fault, he would unhesitatingly clean up her mess.

Now she was tearfully and helplessly begging for mercy, Ye Chen’s anger should have subsided, right?

But upon hearing her pleas, Ye Chen’s dark eyes flashed with a cold luster.

"You think this is cruel? I haven’t even told you that I’m planning to show all the footage we shot today to your parents in prison!"

The man’s tone was so cold that it carried not a trace of warmth, each word felt like a stone squeezed from between his teeth, crushing Qin Shuang’s head until it bled.

She uncontrollably scratched at Ye Chen’s hand, "No! You can’t do this! They only have me as their daughter, your actions will kill them!"

Ye Chen pushed her toward those homeless men, "Dingding is also the only daughter of Yu Tongshu, didn’t you consider how showing those videos to him would be fatal?"

After Yu Tongshu’s fall, Ye Chen had taken care of him at the hospital for some time, realizing that Yu Tongshu was indeed a courteous gentleman, treating everyone with respect.

Even knowing that Ye Chen was the start of the tragedy between him and his daughter, Yu Tongshu had never cursed at him.

At most, he just didn’t want to see him, asking him not to come again.

It wasn’t until the day Yu Dingding revealed everything that Ye Chen’s respect for Yu Tongshu and his demeanor grew, and he wished more than ever to attain justice for him.

Upon hearing what Ye Chen said, Qin Shuang realized that he was going to turn the tactics she had used against Yu Dingding back on her.

"Brother Chen, are you treating me this way because of Yu Dingding? Have you fallen in love with her?"

Qin Shuang coldly questioned him.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then after a while, he replied, "I must have fallen in love a long time ago, and deeply so. I just didn’t understand it then. If I had realized it sooner and protected her properly, none of this would have happened..."

In fact, from the very first moment he saw Yu Dingding, he was attracted to her.

Not only was it her face that drew him in, but also the unique aura that Yu Dingding emanated was particularly appealing to Ye Chen.

So even though he brought her to Night Color, he always arranged for Yu Dingding to be by his side.

Yu Dingding liked money, and he constantly showered her with it, just to earn a smile from the beauty.

It’s a pity that his realization came too late, allowing Qin Shuang the chance to hurt Yu Dingding so much.

The more he thought about it, the more Ye Chen hated Qin Shuang.

So he ordered those men, "What are you waiting for? Go on, isn’t it a long time since you’ve touched a woman? Put some effort into it, I’ll double your pay."

Upon hearing this, the homeless men swarmed over.

At first, Qin Shuang struggled, resisted, and cursed with all her might.

But later, exhausted, she could only let those men do as they pleased.

The recording equipment clearly captured all the scenes...

Ye Chen had no interest in watching these, so he had his assistant send him the footage, then left the room first.

Mo Yifeng, after Ye Chen left, found a chair and sat in a corner.

Only when those men had had their fill and left, pulling up their pants, did he step forward to take a good look at Qin Shuang.

At this point, Qin Shuang was unrecognizable, covered in filth, her expression blank.

It was only when she realized Mo Yifeng was close by, looking at her with great interest, that Qin Shuang’s gaze slowly sharpened.

"Yifeng, please save me, okay? I’m feeling so bad right now, can you get me out of here, please?"

Qin Shuang tried to grab Mo Yifeng’s pant leg, hoping he would remember their betrothed status and rescue her from this hellish place.

Otherwise, given the state she was in after today’s ordeal, once back in prison and facing the torment of the top dog there, she probably wouldn’t survive long.

But just as Mo Yifeng saw her reaching out to touch him, he quickly stepped back, causing her to grab at thin air.

Then, Mo Yifeng loomed over her coldly as he looked down at Qin Shuang.

"Fiancés by force? If it weren’t for your scheming that nearly bankrupted our family, how could I possibly get engaged to you and break up with Dingding?"

"In my heart, I’ve never hated a person to such an extent. And you, Qin Shuang, are the first."

"Let me tell you the truth, even if Ye Chen hadn’t made a move this time, once I strengthen the Mo Family, I would have acted! Making your entire family fall into an abyss of despair has long been the force whipping me forward!"

Mo Yifeng went on to say, "You think tormenting you just once is enough? No! Every month from now on, I am going to find a few vagrants to take good care of you!"

After saying everything he wanted to say, and copying the video of Qin Shuang being humiliated, Mo Yifeng then turned around and left.

Qin Shuang came back to her senses, only to crawl to the front door and painfully scream, "Mo Yifeng, come back to me, you can’t treat me like this..."

But the man had already left, and Qin Shuang’s wailing was destined to receive no response!

*

During the night, Fu Youhan was at the hotel he was staying in, scanning the traffic junctions across Emperor City on his computer, continuing the search for any information related to Jiang Moxi.

As expected, he found nothing.

So, Fu Youhan simply decided to search the facial recognition data for Si Lin as well.

Before the system came up with an answer, Ye Chen pushed open the door to his room.

"Brother Han, care for a drink? I had two bottles sent over. Let’s drink together."

"Okay."

Fu Youhan hadn’t been able to close his eyes for several nights now, in desperate need of some alcohol for a pick-me-up.

So, Ye Chen handed him a bottle of foreign liquor, "Drink up. Once you’re drunk, you can see whoever you want to see."

Compared with Fu Youhan, Ye Chen felt he had no face to see Yu Dingding, so he was more self-destructive, numbing himself with alcohol.

And every time he got drunk, he could always dream of Yu Dingding, talk to her in his dreams about his regrets, confess his late-coming love...

Perhaps it’s this sensation that recently made Ye Chen somewhat drunk on alcohol.

But Fu Youhan was still operating the computer.

Rather than seeing the person he wanted to see in a drunken stupor, Fu Youhan was more urgently hoping to see the real Jiang Moxi, to confirm that she was safe and sound.

After entering a few specific programs, Fu Youhan just took a couple of sips of the liquor when he heard feedback from the computer.

Fu Youhan quickly switched to the alarming view, and the computer screen swiftly displayed an image.

It was Si Lin.

He was escorted by a group of medical staff, getting down from a vehicle.

Fu Youhan quickly switched to the panoramic view, and then saw...

"Si Lin! Si Lin entered Feng Mansion!"

As soon as Fu Youhan spoke, Ye Chen also sobered up a bit, hastily leaning in to look at the computer screen.

Then, Ye Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed, "Si Lin is still injured, what is he doing at the Feng Family?"

Fu Youhan stared at the surveillance image of Si Lin, with eyes dark and deep, filled with no small amount of questions.

That day, Si Lin was taken away by Xuanming, and by all logic, he should now be with Jiang Moxi.

But now, Si Lin has reappeared, heading straight for Feng Mansion.

What exactly is driving Si Lin to drag his not yet healed body so recklessly straight to the Feng Family?

Is it to find Jiang Moxi?

No...

He was supposed to still be with Jiang Moxi.

Could it be that Jiang Moxi is in grave danger, wanting in her last moments to see Feng Yu, her ex-boyfriend?

Or, does Feng Yu have something that Jiang Moxi desperately wants?

Many thoughts surfaced in his mind all at once, causing chaos in Fu Youhan’s brain.

But as he stared at the side profile of Si Lin on the surveillance image, his eyes were filled with unprecedented determination, "I will make another trip to Feng Mansion tomorrow!"
