Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 751: Even if both perish, he must pay the price!
Chapter 751: Chapter 751: Even if both perish, he must pay the price!
She cried out for heaven and earth, but her beloved was just observing her coldly from not too far away.
The darkest, most helpless shadows she feared turned out to be crafted by the one she loved most.
How could she not feel chilled to the bone?
Shu Yan screamed in agony and then passed out.
Jiang Li quickly protected her in his arms and methodically called for a doctor.
During her unconscious state, Shu Yan dreamed.
She dreamed of returning to the small town where she spent her entire childhood, and of Fang Wenzhe, wearing his faded school uniform, smiling innocently and radiantly.
But soon, dark clouds shrouded the town, turning it into a terrifying abyss, and Fang Wenzhe transformed into the most dreadful demon in the abyss, extending his tendrils to slowly wrap around her, vowing to drag her into an irredeemable hell.
When Shu Yan woke up again, the sky outside had darkened.
In a flash, it felt as if years had passed.
Despite the terrifying nightmare, when she opened her eyes, she felt an unusual calm.
Jiang Li hadn’t left; he sat under the desk lamp, flipping through a book on his lap.
Looking at the fierce white light enveloping her, Shu Yan felt a sting in her nose.
Now, she clearly understood who genuinely cared for her and who pulled her from the abyss.
"Jiang Li," she softly called out to him.
Jiang Li indeed looked up at her in the next second.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry? I can have the nurse bring your food."
Shu Yan shook her head, disgust flashing through her numb, icy eyes.
"After seeing so many disgusting things, I’ve long lost any appetite."
Jiang Li closed the book on his lap. "So, what do you plan to do now?"
Shu Yan took a deep breath.
"Just this morning, I thought about letting Fang Wenzhe off the hook, perhaps have a serious talk with him, I could even compromise if needed, but now... I realize what a terrifying demon he is. If it continues like this, he will ruin my life. Why should I let him go?"
"Even if it destroys both of us, I want him to pay the price!"
He had already hurt her so recklessly, why should she hold back?
Finally, Jiang Li showed a relieved smile.
He had guessed her attitude the moment he saw her Life Plate.
Though her life was tragic and she had encountered inhuman treatment, always trapped by him,
fortunately, her core was strong and her spirit resolute.
Her Spiritual Field was quite strong, otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a mark in the entertainment industry right from the outset, nor would she be able to appear on TV programs with a smile despite facing so much criticism.
Even without the warmth given by Fang Wenzhe, she could create her own success with her own strength.
This is why he wanted to help her—
Shu Yan was not a foolish person; with just a slight hint, she could quickly make the best decisions for her development.
"What do you want to do? Whatever you think of, I will do my utmost to help you," Jiang Li said.
...
Downtown.
On the bustling streets, a black Audi had been quietly parked at the corner for an entire day.
Fang Wenzhe had also been sitting in the driver’s seat for a whole day.
In just two days, he had transformed from a presentable, spirited lawyer to a disheveled, frantic man.
His stubble had grown out, with heavy bags under his eyes, and he hadn’t changed his clothes in two days, continuously fiddling with his phone like a man possessed.
Two days had passed.
He hadn’t contacted Shu Yan for two days.
From the moment they became desk mates, she had never disappeared like this before.
Jiang Li and his people really deserved to die!
Why did they have to take Shu Yan away from him?!
He knew he should have been tough at the beginning; he should have implanted that tracking chip in Shu Yan’s body! That way, he could have kept track of her every movement!
Fang Wenzhe forced himself to calm down, his eyes red with fury.
He had posted on Weibo, and at least now he knew that Shu Yan was still in the hospital.
He had run around all the public hospitals in the city today, and none had any trace of Shu Yan; he had asked everywhere.
That left only one possibility.
Shu Yan had been placed in a hospital by Jiang Li, a hospital run by someone he knew.
He immediately started searching for information online.
As a lawyer, it wasn’t difficult for him to use his professional resources to find Jiang Li’s personal information.
He found all the hospitals she had ever visited and called each one.
The news he received made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice pit.
—No Shu Yan.
Just as he was pounding the steering wheel in despair, he suddenly remembered someone.
He knew that Jiang Li had recently been on a variety show, and it seemed that he had met a doctor there, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
Shifting his eyes quickly, Fang Wenzhe immediately drove back home.
Mrs. Fang saw him rush back and became nervous.
"Ah Zhe, why aren’t you answering your phone? Where have you been these past two days? Why haven’t you come home? Don’t you want your mom anymore? And Shu Yan? Has that damn girl not come back yet? Doesn’t she consider you her husband anymore?"
Fang Wenzhe swallowed hard, his voice hoarse, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll find Shu Yan very soon!"
After saying that, he dashed into his room and turned on his computer without even switching on the light.
Sure enough, he soon found what he was looking for.
The person Jiang Li knew was named Yu Li, born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who indeed ran a private TCM hospital!
Shu Yan must be in that hospital!
Without a second thought, Fang Wenzhe grabbed his coat and prepared to leave.
Mrs. Fang stopped him with a bowl of dumplings.
"How can you leave right after getting back? Haven’t you eaten yet? I made dumplings just for you, eat them while they’re hot."
Fang Wenzhe frowned, "Mom, I have an urgent matter..."
But before he could finish his sentence, tears streamed down Mrs. Fang’s face. freёnovelkiss.com
"I knew you were an ingrate! You’re just like your heartless father, neither one of you cares about this family. Your father abandoned me, and now you too want to abandon me? And for that Shu Yan? I’ve wasted decades raising you, even a dog wouldn’t refuse the dumplings I make!"
The familiar words rang in his ears, making Fang Wenzhe’s scalp tingle, and he immediately picked up the bowl.
"Mom, don’t be angry, I’m eating right now."
However, just as he lifted his chopsticks, the door was forcefully knocked.
Fang Wenzhe paused.
Could it be that Shu Yan had come back on her own?
At least she had some conscience.
He quickly strode forward and opened the door.
Standing outside was not Shu Yan, but the stern Xing Mingfei along with several police officers in uniform.
Xing Mingfei immediately showed his credentials.
"Mr. Fang, right? We’ve received a report that you have been maliciously defaming others and are even suspected of inciting rape. Please come with us immediately for an investigation!"
