Chapter 177: 170: Madman Xie Shang, Gamble for Life (First Update)
Wen Changling was very calm, “We broke up.”
It was expected.
From the moment Wen Changling changed her attitude, Xie Shang had guessed it, she had already passed her judgment on him. It was the outcome he had imagined countless times, and he had also thought in advance about countless ways to respond, how to beg her, how to delay, how to show weakness, how to soften her heart.
But looking at her resolute gaze, he was the first to admit defeat.
He somewhat resignedly thought, if what she wanted was for the son to pay for the father’s debts, then would it be better for her if he allowed himself to suffer to the extent of not wanting to live?
Because he also wanted to fulfill her wish.

“Can we not break up?”
Reason was saying, let her have her way.
The dark thoughts immediately turned into a viper, wrapping around his throat, releasing all the baseness and cruelty stored in his bones, incessantly beckoning: trap her, tie her down, break her limbs, then she would stay.
Suppressing his voice, his throat felt bitter, “Didn’t you say you would love me?”
“You believe the words of a liar? Didn’t you know everything, that from the beginning to the end, I’ve been plotting against you, that Fu Ying is my friend, that it was me who told her to bring the jade bracelet to you and talk about the Wen family’s girl, I knew that as long as you heard Xie Qingze’s name you would bite. But you’re not innocent either, you also came to seek revenge on me, didn’t you? To be denied and to suffer unbearably, this is what you’ve prepared for me, isn’t it?” Under the lamp, Wen Changling’s face had a kind of gloomy and dejected coldness, “It’s just that you lost, Mr. Xie.”
She was so tired, she had walked too much, her head was heavy as if it were about to explode, she wanted to immediately fill a tub with cold water, lie in it, and submerge her breathing.
She lowered her eyelashes, just as she stepped forward, Xie Shang grabbed her hand.
“Enough.” Her eyes reddening, she said with her last bit of strength, “Let me catch my breath, okay?”
The viper suddenly fell silent.
All his baseness and cruelty couldn’t stand up to Wen Changling’s reddening eyes.
He let go of her hand, letting her leave.
*****
Wen Changling didn’t wake up until close to noon, her body was feverish, she didn’t know the degree, and it didn’t matter.
Granny Zhu knocked on the door and came in carrying porridge.
“Eat something.”
She responded with a sound, her vocal cords feeling like they were glued.
Granny Zhu hesitated for a long time, “You and Boss Xie…”
Wen Changling put the porridge to her mouth, numbly swallowing, “We broke up.”
Granny Zhu sighed, without asking the reason.
“Granny, I have something to tell you.”
“Go ahead.”
Wen Changling put down the spoon, gripped her hand slightly tighter, and hid the scabs in the palm, “I might be moving away soon.”
“Why suddenly move? Because of Boss Xie?”
Wen Changling shook her head, explaining, “Because there’s something I need to do.”
Wen Changling has many secrets.
The first day she came to Lotus Pond Street, Granny Zhu saw through her. At that time, she was wandering aimlessly up and down the street, circling a few times. Granny Zhu asked her if she was looking for someone.
She said she was lost.
Granny Zhu treated her to a meal, she asked if she could stay, as her feet were very tired.
“Then you remember to come back often.”
Wen Changling agreed, “Thank you.”
At dusk, Wen Changling went out.
Xie Shang saw her, but didn’t call out to her. Yan Cong had left her, she must have thought of Ah Na, she needed a breather.
He would wait, he could wait, he was now very good at waiting.
*****
Everyone could see, Xie Shang was not alright. He set up a gambling game at the West City underground racing track, offering ten million to anyone who could beat him.
The game starts this weekend, the rule is simple, a head-on collision, whoever hits the brakes loses.
Xie Shang has played before, but playing for fun and raising the stakes are two different things.
He Dongzhou pushed open the door to the research room, “Have you lost your mind?”
Xie Shang didn’t look up, mixing perfume, “It’s just a game.”
“Ten million, do you know how many people would risk their lives for that?” He Dongzhou smelled a strong pungent scent, “Are you done valuing your life too?”
Xie Shang’s voice was even, “Won’t die.”
He was very calm.
He Dongzhou understood him well, he knew what lay beneath this apparent calmness was a treacherously turbulent deep sea implosion.
“Are you made of iron? You can’t die?”
Xie Shang didn’t answer, as if very focused on his work, as if everything else lacked interest to him.
He Dongzhou hated his always controlled and suppressed nature, deliberately poking at his sensitive spots, “Didn’t you say you were done with this game? Didn’t you say that with Wen Changling, you would value your life?”
The dropper hit the petri dish, making a sound.
Xie Shang stopped what he was doing, the black watch on his cold white wrist stood out sharply, the contrast in colors adding up to give him an aura that was both holy and dark.
“She dumped me.” His eyelashes drooped.
No wonder.
He Dongzhou found the source.
*****
What Xie Shang wanted to do, nobody could stop him. The first to come find Wen Changling was Gu Yihuan, he was always the most impetuous one.
Gu Yihuan started with the business of the underground racing track.
The rest was all his indignation, “My fourth brother bared his heart to you, what more could dissatisfy you? For you, he broke with his elders, didn’t even mind his uncle’s death, what more do you want?”
Wen Changling was called out from work by Gu Yihuan, wearing her nurse’s uniform.
She didn’t speak.
This is not some angel in white, this is a devil. Gu Yihuan was so agitated he couldn’t stand it, “Speak.”
“There’s nothing to say.”
Gu Yihuan was taken aback, eventually managed to say resentfully, “Wen Changling, you really are heartless.”
Not long after Gu Yihuan left, Wen Changling ran into He Dongzhou in the original VIP building of Dihong Hospital.
He Dongzhou probably knew Gu Yihuan had been there, so he only said one sentence, “West City Avenue, Sunday night at eight, whether you go or not is up to you.”
