Chapter 550: Chapter 548: He Won’t Show Her Mercy Anymore

Watching Zhou Hengnian’s tall figure leave, Xia Yiwan’s eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.

She took a few steps forward to chase after him but eventually, she stopped.

He had spent too much time and energy on her, she could no longer become a stumbling block for him!

Zhou Hengnian reached the bottom of the building, pulled open the passenger side door, and got in.

His subordinate, sitting in the driver’s seat, glanced at the man with a stern profile and asked cautiously, “Boss, are we heading back to headquarters?”

Zhou Hengnian was the captain of the IBI, the International Bureau of Investigation, which specialized in searching for and capturing individuals who posed a threat internationally or committed crimes in lawless areas.

Being in this profession carried a high level of danger.

Years ago, Zhou Hengnian was framed and wronged, his best brother was unjustly killed, leading him to hit rock bottom and become a beggar.

If it weren’t for Xia Yiwan providing him a ray of light in the darkness, he might still be wandering aimlessly.

It was only after learning of Xia Yiwan’s plight that he realized there were others in the world worse off than him.

Zhou Hengnian took out a cigarette, placed it between his lips, and bowed his head to light it. At the moment the flame shot up, his slender, dark eyes were filled with a deep, silent color, “Yes.”

“But what about you and Miss Xia…”

Zhou Hengnian interrupted his subordinate before he could finish, “She hasn’t completely forgotten her ex-husband. Even if I have feelings, it’s about waiting until her emotions have fully stabilized.”

“Drive!”

The subordinate started the engine, and the SUV immediately sped off.

…

Yanxi dreamt about the incident when he almost drowned.

He desperately cried for help, flailing his hands on the water’s surface.

Just when he was about to drown, suddenly a pair of small hands grabbed him.

He opened his eyes wide, wanting to see who had saved him.

A delicate and pretty little face appeared before his eyes.

The girl pulled him to shore, bent down, and gave him artificial respiration.

“Wanwan…”

When the girl heard him call her, she suddenly stood up and ran away quickly.

He wanted to chase after her, but couldn’t muster any strength in his body.

“Wanwan!”

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around, finding himself in a room with snow-white ceilings and walls.

Yanxi clutched his splitting headache and took a few deep breaths.

Just thinking of Xia Yiwan filled his chest with a heavy, suffocating pain!

In this life, the person he owed the most was Wanwan!

If Wanwan hadn’t uncovered the truth herself, he might still be deceived by Shi Ying!

He truly deserved to die!

On Yanxi’s gaunt face was full of regret and frustration.

He threw off the covers and got out of bed.

The staff of the Drug Rehabilitation Center came in and saw Yanxi trying to leave; they hurried to stop him.

“Young Master Yan, you can’t leave now…”

Yanxi pushed away the staff’s hand, “I’m aware of my condition, but there are some things I haven’t dealt with yet. I’ll come back for treatment after I’ve taken care of them!”

Yanxi insisted on leaving, and the staff couldn’t stop him, so they had no choice but to call Ming Yao.

Yanxi returned to the seaside villa.

Shi Ying was captured by his men and locked up in the basement of the seaside villa.

Yanxi’s men tortured her for information, but she was tough-mouthed and refused to say anything.

Yanxi, dragging his weary and heavy body, walked towards the basement.

“Young Master Yan!”

Seeing Yanxi approaching, the badly injured Shi Ying, with her lifeless eyes, suddenly revealed a glint of light, “Yanxi!”

“Yanxi, you’ve finally come. Do you still care about me?” Shi Ying’s trembling fingers pointed at the men who had whipped her, “They dared to hit me, punish them quickly!”

The men, seeing Yanxi’s sullen expression, became somewhat fearful, worried that Young Master Yan would punish them.

“Young Master Yan, we did everything according to your orders…”

Yanxi didn’t speak. He walked up to the iron cage and looked at the battered Shi Ying, his face devoid of any expression.

Seeing Yanxi’s demeanor, Shi Ying’s heart chilled, but still, she forced out a smile, “Yanxi, you can’t live without me. Let me go, I will love you properly from now on!”

Yanxi glared at Shi Ying with bloodshot, peach blossom eyes. He didn’t understand why the once gentle and kind Sister Shi Ying had become the person before him now.

At this moment, in his eyes, she was like a fierce devil!

Was she bad? But was he innocent?

He was not innocent.

When she returned, she first met with Fourth Brother, and Fourth Brother was not bewitched by her, nor did he give her any opportunity.

The moment he suspected something was wrong with her, he immediately drew a clear line with her!

Fourth Brother even warned him that her eyes could hypnotize, telling him to be careful.

But what did he say at the time?

He accused Fourth Brother of being ungrateful, forgetting Sister Shi Ying’s past kindness towards him and even thought Fourth Brother had a small-mindedness!

The fact she could manipulate him, making him addicted to cigarettes, what did it prove?

It proved his self-control was not as strong as Fourth Brother’s.

Seeing Yanxi only staring at her without speaking, Shi Ying’s eyes welled up with tears, pleading, “Yanxi, let me out, I promise I won’t deceive you again…”

Yanxi closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again to an icy gaze, “What is your purpose in doing all this? Who is behind you?”

This was the first time Yanxi spoke to her in such a cold tone. Shi Ying froze for a moment and after realizing what he said, her voice trembling, she replied, “Yanxi, I don’t know what you are talking about?”

“Where do those cigarettes you gave me come from?”

“Yanxi, I smoked those cigarettes too. I thought they were good, that’s why I let you smoke them, so that we would never be apart again!”

Hearing her words, Yanxi felt a chill seeping into his bones.

She really was a devil, a pervert!

“Yanxi, we have been together day and night for years, just because I am not your lifesaver, has your affection for me vanished into thin air? When we were intimate, you held me and said that you loved me the most…”

“Enough!”

Yanxi didn’t want to hear any more. His face turned ashen, his eyes nearly bursting, “The origin of my feelings for you was because you had once saved me. These past years, I’ve been in a fog, mostly under the influence of addiction, my thoughts controlled by you. The one I liked was not you, but the person who once saved me!”

Hearing this, Shi Ying suddenly threw back her head and laughed.

Her face, swollen and battered, made her laugh terrifying to behold.

After laughing, she suddenly looked straight into Yanxi’s eyes.

Her gaze slowly deepened, turning into vortexes with a strong suction force.

Yanxi didn’t dodge, maintaining eye contact with her.

She attempted to hypnotize him, but he showed no reaction.

“Why?”

The corners of Yanxi’s lips curled up in a mocking smile, “Because before, I had a very deep obsession with you. But now, in my eyes, you are nothing!”

“You had better speak up honestly, who sent you, where did those cigarettes come from?”

The corners of Shi Ying’s lips lifted slightly, “Yanxi, you might as well just kill me. After all, even if I die, your ex-wife will never forgive you. You are doomed to be alone for the rest of your life!”

Yanxi’s aura shifted abruptly, filled with chilling murderous intent, “You evil woman!”
