Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 679 - 678: Silver longevity lock

However, Qi Li urged relentlessly.

Even if Lie She wanted to refuse, he didn’t have a word to say.

What was bound to come would come. Even if he truly died here today, perhaps it was destined in his life, further serving as redemption for everything he had done in the past...

Yet, even in such a moment, a glimmer of relief flashed through Lie She’s heart. Luckily, he had sent his wife and child away in advance, otherwise, they would have been implicated...

Lie She’s hand trembled uncontrollably, almost flinging the heavy suitcase. Summoning all his strength, he opened the latch on top, then pulled hard, fully opening the suitcase.

However, at this moment, Lie She’s eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and his whole body began to tremble desperately...

Inside the black suitcase wasn’t the usual money, but a baby girl curled into a ball.

The baby girl looked about one year old, her skin deathly pale, lips blood-red, dressed in a white baby outfit printed with a Mickey Mouse. But a sharp knife was stuck in Mickey’s position, the blood long since dried and congealed, showing a purplish-black color.

There was no exhalation, no inhalation, dead beyond any hope.

Lie She’s fingers trembled, his whole body shivered, cold sweeping over him entirely. He touched the baby girl’s stiffened head with his index finger... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The slight touch made the baby’s head sway a bit, then came a ’clink’, a silver longevity lock hit the bottom of the suitcase, the bloodied surface of the longevity lock revealed a single word ’Yan’...

"Yan’er..." Lie She’s voice was somewhat hoarse, his Adam’s apple quivered; he didn’t know how he managed to make a sound.

Everything felt so illusory, pressing on every nerve of Lie She, he sincerely hoped it was all a dream, not real...

However, the coldness of kneeling in the water, the spinal pain piercing his heart, reminded Lie She of the reality. His daughter, just one year old, had died in front of him...

Memories surged within Lie She, he couldn’t forget that night soaked with torrential rain, when he, heavily wounded while fleeing from enemies, escaped into the Red Light District, seeking help from the woman who had followed him for four years.

That woman’s name was Zhenzhen, the top hostess of the Red Light District, accustomed to storms of life. In the past, whenever Lie She got hurt, he would run to her for refuge. Zhenzhen would treat his wounds without asking anything, not saying a word...

But that day, Zhenzhen urged him to stop, to not engage in such dangerous activities anymore. Lie She was puzzled, thinking it stemmed from a woman’s concern, wanting to brush it off with a few perfunctory words.

But Zhenzhen said: "I’m pregnant, three months along, I want to have it! Don’t look at me like that, this child is your own flesh and blood, don’t make it seem like it’s a bastard with someone else..."

Lie She wanted to get up, but Zhenzhen pressed him down, saying: "Oh dear, lie back and don’t get excited. Let me clarify, I’m not asking for money. What you’ve given is enough for the two of us to live half a life. I just don’t want the child to be fatherless later on, with no accounting if they ask..."

This matter was an absolutely devastating blow to Lie She, destroying his past beliefs and all his bloodshed. Originally intending to give Zhenzhen and her daughter a sum of money to settle things, he was instead overtaken by the unexpected child, occupying his soul, wanting a normal life.

Lie She can still remember now how excited he was when Yan’er was born. It was at that time that he truly decided to wash his hands of his old ways and take them abroad for a new life...
