CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 447

Ye Chen, in a panic, quickly drove to the prison.

A week had passed before he saw Qin Shuang again.

But now, Qin Shuang had become almost skeletal, devoid of her former grace.

However, as always, Qin Shuang was just as thrilled to see Ye Chen.

"Brother Chen, you’ve come to rescue me, haven’t you?"

"I just knew you wouldn’t treat me so cruelly."

Qin Shuang, as if she had seen her savior, excitedly lunged toward Ye Chen.

Yes, Qin Shuang’s days in prison were worse than a dog’s.

Mo Yifeng occasionally brought some vagrants over to torture her, not to mention the head woman in the prison who would beat her, curse at her, and deny her food in various ways.

Even when her asthma attacked, she got no respite from the torment.

Qin Shuang had been frightened by the torture, so now she didn’t care that Ye Chen was the instigator of all this tragedy; as long as he could take her away from this living hell, it would be enough.

But Qin Shuang hadn’t realized that before she could touch Ye Chen, she was grabbed by the throat and lifted into the air.

The moment her feet left the ground, her breathing was stripped away.

Qin Shuang, in extreme panic, desperately clawed at Ye Chen’s hand, trying to make him let go.

But Ye Chen, as if feeling no pain, just stared coldly at Qin Shuang and asked, "Was it you who saved me back then?"

Qin Shuang realized that Ye Chen might have discovered something, but upon further thought, she concluded that there was no one else around the ice at the time, making it impossible for the truth to be discovered.

She couldn’t speak, only desperately kicking her legs, as if to affirmatively answer Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen again increased the pressure on her throat, making Qin Shuang fear her neck might snap.

Just as Qin Shuang’s consciousness began to blur and the strength in her kicking legs weakened, Ye Chen suddenly threw her to the ground.

Qin Shuang, all skin and bones, hit the ground with a heavy thud.

But she had no time to cry out in pain; she was too busy greedily gulping down fresh air.

Before she could recover, her hair was yanked up by Ye Chen.

Qin Shuang’s face twisted in pain.

But the man who had previously adored her to the heavens simply told her coldly, "You only have one chance. If you dare lie again, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Qin Shuang wanted to lie again; after all, she had received countless favors from Ye Chen and the Ye Family by relying on being recognized as Ye Chen’s lifesaver.

She wanted to live and walk out of the prison; she had to rely on the identity of being a lifesaver.

But as soon as Qin Shuang moved her lips, Ye Chen watched her like a hawk.

That look terrified Qin Shuang, and an intuition told her that Ye Chen must know something. If she continued to lie, Ye Chen would certainly torture her beyond how he had just done.

So, Qin Shuang had no choice but to say with a hardened scalp, "When I got to the lakeside that time, you were already lying there."

Ye Chen trembled violently...

It wasn’t Qin Shuang who had saved him!

It was Yu Dingding!

"Why did you lie? Why!" Ye Chen screamed hysterically.

"If you hadn’t lied at the time, I would have investigated and found out that the one who truly saved me was Dingding! I could have been by her side from that moment, and none of this would have been irreparably damaged!"

"It’s you, you are the cause of all this tragedy. It’s also you who made me, Ye Chen, repay kindness with enmity to my true lifesaver."

Ye Chen bellowed nearly out of control, tearing at Qin Shuang’s hair.

Qin Shuang felt as if her scalp was about to be ripped off by Ye Chen, but at the moment, she was also frightened by the information Ye Chen had inadvertently revealed.

So, it was Yu Dingding who saved Ye Chen back then?

What kind of twisted fate is this!

Qin Shuang finally understood why Ye Chen was so furious today, and she knew he would never let her live to leave the prison.

Thus, she simply gave up on herself and sneered, "If I hadn’t lied, wouldn’t you and that bitch Yu have been living together happily a long time ago?"

As expected, her words completely infuriated Ye Chen.

Ye Chen furiously flung her away: "You dare to insult her!"

Qin Shuang smashed into the wall violently, her head bleeding profusely.

But she acted as if she couldn’t feel the pain in her body and continued to chuckle, "Why can’t I curse her? I simply cannot stand seeing her doing well, so I don’t regret anything I’ve done at all. Hahaha..."

Ye Chen, unable to contain his anger, kicked out at her.

Qin Shuang could feel her leg break under Ye Chen’s kick, but she still screamed madly.

"It’s not entirely my fault, you’re also to blame for being so foolish. I have asthma, and it was in the dead of winter; with just a little thought, it’s clear that I couldn’t possibly have gone into the water to save you..."

She knew that Ye Chen wouldn’t let her off now.

But rather than living in prison and enduring endless torture, she would rather provoke Ye Chen to lose control and end her life now.

Unfortunately for her, Ye Chen saw through her motives and quickly stopped his violent acts.

"I won’t let you die that easily; that would be letting you off too lightly."

"Wait for it. I’m about to arrange another round of ’benefits’ for you, enjoy..."

Just by seeing the sinister and terrifying smile on Ye Chen’s face, Qin Shuang knew that this so-called benefit was nothing good.

Ignoring her leg injury, she hurridly threw herself at Ye Chen, pleading, "Brother Chen, stop torturing me. For the sake of the good times we had before, please let me go."

But Ye Chen, irritated, just kicked her and left without looking back.

After leaving the prison, Ye Chen suddenly changed his mind.

It used to be that he didn’t know Yu Dingding was his savior, but now that he knew, he couldn’t pretend to be unaware anymore.

Why should he and Yu Dingding pay for all of Qin Shuang’s mistakes?

Moreover, he was still deeply in love with Yu Dingding, so why should he let her go?

Right, he had to pursue Yu Dingding again.

Even if Yu Dingding never accepted him for the rest of her life, sticking close by Yu Dingding, he would not have lived in vain.

Thus, Ye Chen immediately made a phone call: "Brother Han, are you with Xiao Moxi? I need to ask her for a favor..."

*

On the other end, Fu Youhan had just received the fax sent by Chi Jing from Yan City when Ye Chen’s call came through.

It was the information of the bearded man who had followed him and Jiang Moxi today.

Fu Youhan had once suspected that the man was sent by Old Master Fu, but the data revealed that the bearded man was actually a local thug from Emperor City.

And the records showed that he hadn’t had any contact with Jiang Moxi before.

So who sent him, exactly?

Before Fu Youhan could figure out the answer, he received Ye Chen’s call.

Thus he said, "I’m about to go and meet with Old Master Feng for a chess match; you can come too."

And so, Ye Chen followed Fu Youhan to the Feng Family’s home.

Old Master Feng’s chess game was set up in the courtyard surrounded by birdsong and floral fragrance, with servants attending nearby, and the company of Jiang Moxi.

Feng Yu timed his arrival to the courtyard to watch the game and also brought a girl’s jacket for Jiang Moxi to wear...

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen thought to himself: Damn! This love rival of Brother Han really has no respect for Brother Han at all.
