Chapter 262: Dead

Sheng Hongyao was being restrained by Situ and could not lay a hand on Shen Yijing.

But when he heard Sheng Yu mention the man Shen Yijing was involved with, and thought of the many people listening outside the hospital room door, his dignity as a man and his pride as the head of the Sheng Family were instantly destroyed.

Trampled under the feet of a bitch like Shen Yijing!

Such a lowly person had actually been playing him for a fool!

Sheng Yu was deliberately provoking him to call more people over to hear his scandal.

In any case, he had already lost all dignity; he cast aside all pretense, like an incompetent man who had lost everything, and glared at Shen Yijing with eyes splitting at the corners, "Go to hell!"

He kicked and thrashed about, knocking the items on the bedside table to the floor, and a cup filled with hot water smashed onto the top of Shen Yijing's foot.

She curled up in pain and laughed in a low voice, "Aren't you all dying to know who he is? He will come to save me soon, and then you will naturally know."

Watching the undisguised adoration in her eyes for that man, Sheng Hongyao struggled violently, grabbed something from the table, and smashed it down at Shen Yijing!

"Who the hell is he!" Sheng Hongyao rushed over and grabbed Shen Yijing by the collar, staring into her eyes with bloodshot gaze, "Do you believe I will really kill you?"

"Of course I believe it." Shen Yijing curled her lips in a smile, "Because you are a scumbag through and through; you could use Yu Lan, who loved you, so how could you spare me, who doesn't?"

It was unclear which word stung Sheng Hongyao, but after hearing Shen Yijing's words, his muscles went rigid, the veins on his neck bulged, his face turned ferocious, and he lunged forward, intent on tearing Shen Yijing to shreds.

But he was dragged away by Situ once again.

Shen Yijing did not utter a sound, swearing to die rather than confess the man behind her.

Waiting for the man to come and save her.

"Save you?" Sheng Yu sneered, "You think he was saving you on the Fengcheng national highway?"

"At your age, with wrinkles on your skin, what kind of innocent and romantic act are you putting on?"

Following a gesture from Sheng Yu, a Bodyguard tossed a tablet to Shen Yijing.

The tablet played the car's dashcam footage, clearly recording how the car Shen Yijing was sitting in at the time was surrounded and attacked in Fengcheng.

And because her head had struck the car door and she had lost consciousness, she naturally had not seen the scene of the car she was in being used as a live target.

Watching the footage on the dashcam, Shen Yijing's expression stiffened slightly at first, but she soon realized that Sheng Yu must have tampered with it.

His goal was to make her completely disappointed and lose hope in the man, and then, out of revenge, expose the man's identity.

Heh.

Shen Yijing grabbed the tablet and smashed it onto the ground, "Don't even think about knowing who he is!"

"Your mouth is quite tough," Sheng Yu said indifferently, "I just don't know how long you can hold out."

"Situ, take her back to the Hot Spring Villa."

As soon as Shen Yijing heard "Hot Spring Villa," her heart suddenly panicked.

After the incident last time, the Hot Spring Villa was now as secure as a fortress; not even a fly could fly inside.

If she were taken inside, her lover would surely try every possible means to save her.

How could she bear to let him risk his life?

And what if she couldn't withstand the torture, what if Sheng Yu used some sinister methods, like injecting drugs to force her, and she was forced to expose his information—what then?

One plan after another flashed rapidly through Shen Yijing's mind.

One plan after another was rejected by her.

Not a single one was viable.

No, that wasn't right; it wasn't that there were no ways left.

There was still one.

Yes, there was still one.

Before Situ could act, Shen Yijing lunged toward Sheng Hongyao, "I cannot be taken away by Sheng Yu!"

However, she was held down by the shoulders by Situ, and just as she was about to lunge, her entire body was pressed down onto the floor.

With her face pressed against the floor, she glared at Sheng Hongyao with red eyes and laughed coldly, "I know a secret of yours, Sheng Hongyao, I know your secret."

Sheng Hongyao's expression tightened.

"I know Ning..."

Yet, the moment Shen Yijing uttered a single word, Sheng Hongyao's expression changed drastically; he lunged over and clamped his hands around Shen Yijing's throat to prevent her from saying another word.

His face was dark and twisted, his fingers continuously tightening their grip.

The previous two times, Situ had not needed to use much force to control him, but now, even using all his strength, he could not budge Sheng Hongyao in the slightest.

It was as if Sheng Hongyao had latched onto Shen Yijing firmly, and if he let go, something terrible would happen.

Seeing that Shen Yijing was about to pass out, Situ hurriedly called for others to help pull Sheng Hongyao away.

Suddenly, in the chaos, Sheng Hongyao snatched a gun from another Bodyguard.

Before anyone could react, he fired several shots at Shen Yijing.

Every shot hit a vital spot; the goal was clearly to take her life.

Situ was quick-witted and snatched the handgun from Sheng Hongyao, but it was already too late.

Looking at the large hole in Shen Yijing's chest, fresh blood gushed out from the wound continuously.

There was no way to save her now.

Shen Yijing was certain to die.

Sheng Yu's face was livid, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.

He had not expected Sheng Hongyao to be so resolute and deranged, killing his partner of over a decade without a second thought.

Shen Yijing lay in a pool of blood.

She stared with wide eyes at the man she had pretended to love for over a decade.

At this moment, she was glad she knew him well enough.

Knowing what he cared about most right now, knowing he could not easily give up.

Therefore, she deliberately provoked him, using his hand to end her own life.

No matter what, she would never let anyone harm her lover.

No one at all!

She looked at Sheng Hongyao, remembering how back then Sheng Hongyao looked down on her lover, mocking and insulting him.

"Sheng Hongyao, you aren't even worth a single finger of his... Let me tell you, for these past ten-plus years, every time I lay beside you, I had to force myself to endure the nausea... Why can I no longer get pregnant? I was the one who asked the doctor to remove my uterus, because I was terrified that one day in the future I would truly conceive your child. You are not worthy; you, this piece of human trash, are not worthy of me bearing your children."

With every mouthful of blood she spat out, she spoke a word of her loathing for Sheng Hongyao.

Sheng Hongyao was trembling all over; he roared as he rushed forward and kicked at Shen Yijing's blood-soaked chest!

Finally, Shen Yijing was kicked over, lying face down on the floor, motionless.

In her final moments, Shen Yijing seemed to see a group of people rush into the hospital room, the man leading them still possessing the handsome appearance from her memories.

Her body was lifted into the man's arms, and he softly called to her, "Yijing, let's go home."

Shen Yijing tried hard to curve her lips.

Awei, I did not betray you.

In this lifetime, I will never betray you.

Shen Yijing's eyelids closed weakly.

Situ rushed over and felt Shen Yijing's neck, his brows furrowing tightly, "She's dead."

Sheng Yu's gaze swept coldly toward Sheng Hongyao, who was kneeling on the ground.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

What did Shen Yijing say just now to make Sheng Hongyao's emotions spiral so out of control?

Zhu Yuan looked at him, her eyes calm and devoid of any ripples.
