Translator: 549690339

City B

In a villa’s second floor located in the suburbs.

Xiao Wenqing was asleep on the spacious bed in the master bedroom, with a gauze wrapped around her left cheek.

A middle-aged maid was dozing off in a chair by the bed. When the bedroom door opened, letting a beam of glaring light in, she suddenly opened her eyes, sprang up, and respectfully greeted the person who entered, “Mr. Wu!”

The person who entered was indeed Wu Tianyi.

Last night, upon receiving a call from Xiao Wenqing, he had escaped the villa under surveillance and hurriedly rushed to their predetermined meeting point in City B.

He had properties in this city, albeit not registered under his name. And since no one in City B knew him or Xiao Wenqing, it was the safest place to hide.

He glanced at Xiao Wenqing who was still asleep on the bed and gestured to the maid, “You may leave for now. Have the kitchen staff prepare some food that my wife enjoys and make some good soup. When she wakes up, she will definitely be hungry.”

Xiao Wenqing had escaped from the Mo’s mansion in the middle of the night and arrived here in City B this morning.

He’d had a doctor, whom he left waiting here, bandage her wounds. After being given a sedative, she had drifted off into a sound sleep.

“Yes, sir.”

The maid respectfully replied, then quickly left the room and shut the door behind her.

In the bedroom, Wu Tianyi sat down by the bed, watching the sleeping Xiao Wenqing. His gaze landed on her left cheek wrapped in gauze, and the darkness in his eyes deepened bit by bit.

Soon, his forehead began to throb with veins and the fingers of his tightly clenched fists turned pale. The rage and hatred in his heart collided and transformed into vicious bloodlust.

That damned Mo Jingteng had dared to treat his woman in such a way. In the beginning, if Mo Jingteng had not forcibly intervened, he and Xiao Wenqing would have been a couple in love. But because of his intrusion, his various forms of material temptation, and ultimately taking Xiao Wenqing by force… 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦

For him, Xiao Wenqing had nothing but hatred. And as for Wu Tianyi, he, even more, wanted to tear Mo Jingteng to pieces. He had initially wanted to kill Mo Jingteng, but unexpectedly, he had seen him with his wife and son.

Seeing him interact with his son and his wife’s gentle smile, in that moment, Wu Tianyi had changed his mind about killing Mo Jingteng. He wanted to cause complete destruction to Mo Jingteng’s family.

Not just his wife and son, but also his company, his fortune, everything, he wanted them all…

“No, don’t kill me…”

On the bed, Xiao Wenqing suddenly screamed out in her nightmare, flailing her arms around frantically and snapping Wu Tianyi out of his thoughts. His face changed, and he quickly reached out to hold Xiao Wenqing’s hands, reassuring, “Wenqing, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

After a while, Xiao Wenqing woke up. Seeing Wu Tianyi beside her, the terror in her eyes gradually receded, “Tianyi, will Mo Jingteng find this place?”

“No, if he truly finds this place, I will make sure he comes alive and leaves dead.”

Every word Wu Tianyi uttered was filled with cold-blooded viciousness.

“What time is it?”

Xiao Wenqing looked towards the tightly-drawn curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, blocking the sunlight outside. The room appeared dimly lit.

“It’s not even eleven yet, you can sleep a bit more.”

Wu Tianyi placed her hand back under the covers. Xiao Wenqing shook her head, her face still full of unease. After thinking for a bit, she hesitated and asked, “Can you help me find out if Mo Jingteng has done anything to Zixuan?”

Last night, if it weren’t for Zixuan’s presence, her fate would have been even worse.

“Are you still thinking about Mo Zixuan? He watched as you were tortured by Mo Jingteng without stopping him. What is the point of having such a son?”

Wu Tianyi felt intense anger in his chest as soon as Mo Zixuan was mentioned. Mo Zixuan had Mo Jingteng’s blood flowing in his veins. After all, he was part of the Mo family, and he wouldn’t stand with them.

Xiao Wenqing turned pale, struggle passing fleetingly in her eyes, “Zixuan did help me last night. Without him, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet you. Tianyi, I know you don’t like Zixuan because he’s not your child. But he’s the only child I have.”

Wu Tianyi gave a cold humph. Eventually, he indulged her under her pleading gaze, “Fine, I will have someone find out. Since such a big incident has happened and there’s no news from the media, it seems that Mo Jingteng hasn’t made it public.”

“Will my face always be like this?”

Xiao Wenqing raised her hand to touch the gauze on her face, worriedly asking. She had been attractive for several decades and suddenly her face was ruined, with the character for ‘cheap’ carved by Mo Jingteng. If it couldn’t be healed, how could she face people in the future?

Wu Tianyi furrowed his brows, took Xiao Wenqing’s hand that was touching her face, and put it back under the cover, “No, it won’t. In a few days, your face will heal and return to its usual beautiful state. As long as our plan goes well tonight and we manage to capture Wen Ran, the injuries you suffered will be inflicted on her twofold.”

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Wenqing’s eyes instantly turned icy cold, grinding her teeth as she said, “I must destroy Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen with my own hands.”

In her view, her current situation was all due to Mo Xiuchen. If it wee not for Mo Xiuchen, she and Wu Tianyi would have seized control of Mo Jingteng’s company and taken their revenge long ago.

But, because of Mo Xiuchen’s constant obstruction, in the end, not only was she reduced to her current state, but Wu Tianyi also lost everything.

If they hadn’t prepared for this, creating a safety net for themselves earlier on, they would have nowhere to stay now.

Wu Tianyi had a cold smile on his face, “In the afternoon, you can call Cheng Jia again to confirm whether she has everything under control. If things don’t go wrong, even without her, we should be able to capture Wen Ran.”

Finding Cheng Jia was just to be more certain.

“Alright, I’ll call Cheng Jia again in the afternoon. From what I could tell, she seemed very confident.”

Xiao Wenqing furrowed her brows, recalling her conversation with Cheng Jia from last night. Mo Xiuchen had been taking Cheng Jia to social events these past few days. Tonight, their client was a rather lecherous man. Even if the man didn’t intend to target Wen Ran, given Mo Xiuchen’s character, he wouldn’t want Wen Ran to be leered at by him.

G City, Cemetery

Wen Ran placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, knelt down on both knees, and choked out tearfully, “Dad, mom, I’m here to see you.”

Next to her, Bai Xiaoxiao’s brows knitted as she looked at Wen Ran’s distraught state. She felt a knot of anxiety in her heart.

The smiling faces of Wen Hongrui and his wife on the tombstone were loving and affectionate, making people feel as if they hadn’t left and were standing right in front of them smiling kindly.

Wen Ran tried to hold back her tears, “Dad, mom, I know about my identity now. I want to thank you for saving, sheltering, raising me, and especially for your selfless love in all these years, giving me a happy home.”

If it weren’t for them, she would’ve been starved to death on the streets if she hadn’t been killed by those people. Their kindness in raising her was greater than the heavens. It was they who had given her a second life.
