Chapter 5

~8 min read 1,414 words

Shi Yi was forced to kneel down. She saw the words "Tomb of Chu Mengrou" written on the tombstone, with a black and white photo embedded on it; it was a young, beautiful woman in the prime of her life.

"Open your damn eyes and look closely at what she looks like!"

Chu Yehan grabbed Shi Yi's hair and slammed her head fiercely against Chu Mengrou's tombstone, scolding angrily: "She was only 18 years old! The life you killed was such a vibrant one! She was my own sister!"

Shi Yi's forehead was cut, and fresh blood immediately flowed down mixed with the rain, blurring her vision.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Besides apologizing, Shi Yi didn't know what else she could do.

The die was cast; any explanation now was already too late...

"Heh, you know how to say sorry now? Back in court, weren't you damn stubborn? Didn't you refuse to apologize the whole time!"

Chu Yehan said through gritted teeth. Back then, he was in the United States and couldn't make it to the trial of his sister's case, but he heard that this woman had refused to admit her mistake in court the whole time and even refused to apologize. If it weren't for the fact that she was already in prison, Chu Yehan would definitely have taken her life!

The first thing he did after returning to the country was to have someone remove one of Shi Yi's kidneys. And he instructed people to take good care of her and not let her have an easy time inside.

"I think you're just asking for it! I have to give you a taste of reality before you'll know who you're dealing with!"

Chu Yehan kicked Shi Yi's waist fiercely and spat out two words from between his teeth.

"Kneel!"

On the other side, in the hospital, Shi Heng had just come out of the company, carrying a thermos in his hand, and walked into the inpatient building.

"Isn't that Shi Heng, the president of the Shi Group? One of the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs selected by Contemporary Magazine!"

"It really is him, he's even more handsome in person than in the magazine!"

"Yes, yes, his temperament is absolutely amazing too!"

Exclamations and discussions came from all around, and Shi Heng secretly pulled his mask up.

The Shi Group had developed rapidly over the years, and Shi Heng, relying on his outstanding appearance and ability, had become a public figure, attracting side-glances wherever he went.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Ma had prepared a nutritious meal today and begged him to send it to Shi Yi, he wouldn't have bothered to come to the hospital. Anyway, it was just a seafood allergy; once she recovered, she would naturally go home.

However, the moment Shi Heng pushed open the door, he saw that the hospital bed was empty.

"Where is the person from bed 51?" Shi Heng grabbed a young nurse and asked.

"Bed 51? She has already been discharged."

"Discharged? When did this happen? Who let her be discharged?!"

The nurse curled her lips and said helplessly:

"She was discharged after three o'clock in the afternoon. The patient handled the discharge procedures herself... She said she didn't have money for hospitalization and wanted to go home to recuperate... We couldn't stop the patient, could we."

Shi Heng's face sank suddenly. He put the lunch box in his hand down in front of the bed and then called Zhang Ma.

"Has Shi Yi returned home?"

Zhang Ma's anxious voice immediately came over the phone.

"No, only the master, the mistress, and the third young lady are at home right now. Did something happen to the second young lady?"

Shi Heng didn't answer, hung up the phone decisively, and then called Sun Mishu.

"Check immediately where Shi Yi went! Three o'clock this afternoon, at the entrance of the People's Hospital."

"Yes."

The Shi Group now mainly focused on big data models and controlled the city's data information, so checking a person's whereabouts was as easy as pie.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, Shi Heng's phone began to vibrate "buzz, buzz, buzz," and it was a call from Sun Mishu.

"President Shi, I just found out that the second young lady was picked up by Chu Yehan's car, and the current location of this car is the parking lot at the entrance of Lingshan Cemetery."

"I know."

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops were hitting the umbrella with a pitter-patter.

"Young Master Han, she has been kneeling for an hour, is it... enough? I think that woman seems unable to hold on anymore..." The bodyguard in black said softly while holding an umbrella for Chu Yehan.

"Heh, enough? I want to make her kneel until she dies!"

The bodyguard pursed his lips, looking at the swaying figure of the woman kneeling in front of the tomb, and her face, which was paler than a ghost's, feeling increasingly uneasy. He gritted his teeth and continued to persuade:

"Young Master Han, I'm afraid this will lead to a loss of life if it continues... Don't forget she is missing one, that thing. Besides, she is a member of the Shi family, and the Shi family is not what it used to be, especially that Shi Heng. I heard he is now called something like the Jade-Faced Yama, with both money and power, and no one dares to provoke him. What if he finds out..."

Chu Yehan curled his lips and snorted coldly.

"Heh? Jade-Faced Yama, I'm the Heavenly King himself! As long as the rain doesn't stop tonight, don't even think about her getting up!"

As soon as the words fell, a blinding light suddenly cut through the rain curtain and shot straight over.

The next second, a black Maybach stopped in front of the two. Shi Heng, wearing a crisp suit and exuding a cold and stern temperament, stepped out of the car.

"Chu Yehan, let my sister go."

Chu Yehan smiled, slowly exhaled a puff of blue smoke, and then stepped on the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Oh, speak of the devil and he appears. Heh, your sister? Your sister is kneeling on the ground alive and well, but what about my sister? She is lying underground! She will never see this world again!"

Shi Heng took a deep breath, his face stern, his pair of pitch-black eyes looking at Chu Yehan, his voice low but full of pressure:

"Even if she made a mistake in the past, she has already paid the price. This matter ends here. Chu Yehan, don't forget, she is a member of my Shi family."

"If you dare to touch her again, I, Shi Heng, will definitely not be lenient."

After saying this, he didn't wait for Chu Yehan to react and walked straight to Shi Yi's side in front of the tombstone.

Chu Yehan's face was livid, his whole body trembling, his hands tightly clenched into fists, his fingertips turning white.

He wished he could give that Shi guy a fierce punch right now!

But he knew that Shi Heng was indeed not someone he could afford to provoke right now, especially after the old man of the Chu family passed away from illness two years ago, their Chu family had fallen even further.

However, he was not in a hurry. He would settle this account with the Shi family slowly!

"Can you get up?"

Not far away, Shi Heng walked to Shi Yi's side but didn't bend down to help her, instead standing to the side and speaking coldly.

"Yes..."

Shi Yi said in a low voice, using her hands to support the ground, trying several times, and finally standing up shakily on the last attempt.

At this moment, her whole body was soaked through by the rain, her black hair was plastered to her temples, her lips were pale, and the wound on her forehead had already turned white from soaking, not even noticed by Shi Heng.

"Get in the car."

Seeing Shi Yi stand up on her own, Shi Heng didn't waste words and turned to walk back directly.

Shi Yi followed silently behind, limping past Chu Yehan.

Chu Yehan looked at Shi Yi viciously, his pair of green eyes glowing faintly in the dark night, like a sinister wolf.

Shi Heng quickly started the engine, and the car roared past Chu Yehan with a "vroom."
