“I told her that if she was willing to be with me, I would leave Tang Jing.”


  “But she didn’t want to. So, I took out all sorts of photos that I took of her secretly, including those while she was taking a bath, changing clothes, and all kinds of nude photos before she knew who I really was… Hahaha, I warned her that if she dared to say anything in front of Tang Jing, I would spread her photos.”


  “She was a traditional and conservative woman. How could she stand such a threat? She really wanted to jump off the cliff and die. But how could I let her die so easily? She didn’t like me. I wanted her to live a life worse than death!”


  “What could I do to make life worse than death? Of course, that would be to see one’s lover, son, and best friend live together. Her best friend was about to replace her position and marry into the Tang family to become the new mistress.”


  “It felt so good to drive a person crazy bit by bit!”


  Tang Xi clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands twitching as he glared at Liu Ping with bloodshot eyes. He wanted to tear her into pieces!

  Liu Ping looked at Tang Xi, who was furious but could only control himself. The smile on her lips could not help but widen. “Actually, your mother only went completely crazy recently. She never believed that your father would really marry me. It was only when I played the recording of Tang Jing proposing to me and personally setting the date for our marriage that she really broke down.”


  “My plan was supposed to be carried out on the day of the marriage, but you and Ling Hui found out about the abnormality in advance, so I had to play along with you!”


  “I don’t have much time left. If I can live for a few more years, do you think you can defeat me so easily?”


  Liu Ping’s eyes were filled with arrogance and contempt. She flicked the cigarette ash on her finger. “If I didn’t cooperate with you and tell you the truth the night you pretended to be ghosts, you probably wouldn’t have been able to find out the truth so quickly, right?”


  He had told the truth, but the law could not punish him.

  They knew how despicable he was, but they could not do anything to him!

  Tang Xi looked at Liu Ping. She was cold-blooded but arrogant. However, he had to admit that Liu Ping had the right to be arrogant.

  People like him were already mentally twisted and perverted, but he was too good at pretending and living with another face, so much so that they had not noticed anything unusual about her for many years.

  “However, you’re still smarter than I thought. I thought that you wouldn’t be able to find Yu’er so quickly.” Liu Ping stubbed out her cigarette and looked at Tang Xi with narrowed eyes. “Ah Xi, my biggest regret in life is not being able to get Yu’er to give me a child. If Yu’er had my child, she might have been able to see me in a different light.”


  Tang Xi glared at Liu Ping with a dark expression. “Stop disgusting me. How can my mother have a child with a pervert like you!”


  “Yes, she can’t.” Liu Ping’s gaze toward Tang Xi changed several times. She curled her lips and gave a meaningful smile. That smile made people’s hair stand on end.

  Suddenly, he took out an SD card from his pocket.

  “Ah Xi, this is the video you want.”


  Tang Xi went forward and took the SD card from Liu Ping’s hand. He got up, not wanting to say anything more to Liu Ping, and walked out.

  “Ah Xi, you only have five seconds.”


  When Tang Xi came, he had already gotten a feeling that Liu Ping would not let him off easily.

  When Liu Ping said that he only had five seconds, he knew that Liu Ping was not joking.

  Tang Xi ran outside quickly.

  Liu Ping had already calculated the time. It would take 40 seconds from where she was sitting to the door.

  Tang Xi would definitely die.

  The moment the explosion happened, Tang Xi jumped out of a glass window in the building.

  There was a loud bang.

  It was a powerful explosion with a huge impact, like a volcano erupting.

  A wave of heat surged toward Tang Xi.

  A black mushroom cloud rose into the sky and a sharp pain shot through his body. Countless images flashed past Tang Xi’s mind.

  Those from his childhood to those from his adulthood…


  A wave of dizziness hit him and he almost fainted.

  His fingers gripped the SD card tightly as he said silently, “Princess, I’m sorry…”


  Perhaps, he could not continue to chase after her, let alone chase after her after turning into an old man!

  “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry…”


  He had yet to be filial to them and let them have a grandson.

  The light in front of him slowly disappeared. The endless darkness swallowed him!

  …


  Ling Hui was extremely worried about Tang Xi’s safety.

  After her parents and Gu Meng left, she had been pacing around in the small space.

  Her fingers were bleeding from her bite.

  This anxiety continued until midnight.

  Gu Meng came with her lawyer.

  After the procedures were done, Ling Hui was released.

  Throughout the entire process, Ling Hui did not ask about anything.

  It was not until they came out and got into the car that Ling Hui looked at Gu Meng and said with a trembling and tense voice, “How is he?”


  Before Gu Meng answered, Ling Hui clenched her hands into fists and placed them on her knees. Tang Xi’s devilish and handsome face kept appearing in her mind.

  He would be fine. He would be fine!

  Gu Meng looked down, not knowing if she should tell Ling Hui the truth.

  However, there was no way to hide it.

  “Sister Ling Hui, you have to be mentally prepared…”


  When Ling Hui heard Gu Meng’s words, her heart seemed to be clenched tightly by an invisible black hand.

  She was almost unable to breathe.

  “W-What happened to him?” Liu Ping wanted to drag him down with her. Was he seriously injured, or was he gone?

  Ling Hui’s heart was already in her throat.

  “Liu Ping asked to meet Young Master Tang. She buried many bombs and Liu Ping was killed in the explosion. Young Master Tang jumped out of the window during at that critical moment, but the bomb was too powerful and Young Master Tang suffered very serious injuries… The doctor said that he might not be able to wake up in this lifetime.”


  Bang!

  When Ling Hui heard Gu Meng’s words, her mind seemed to have been struck by lightning and went blank.

  Ling Hui covered her face with both hands as tears flowed from between her fingers.

  “He won’t wake up for the rest of his life… Why won’t he wake up for the rest of his life? As long as he’s still alive and has a glimmer of hope, I will accompany him…”


  He had been secretly in love with her for ten years. During those years, he had done a lot for her silently.

  She had rarely done anything for him. Now that he had suffered such a serious injury for her, she would not give up on him.

  Gu Meng looked at Ling Hui, who was crying, and pulled her into her arms. “I heard from Ye Qing that when he found Young Master Tang, Young Master Tang was holding onto the SD card tightly. The doctor tried for a long time before he finally managed to pry his hand open…”


  Ling Hui raised her hand and wiped away the tears on her face. “Mengmeng, are we going to the hospital now? I want to see him. I want to see him immediately!”


  When Ling Hui rushed to the hospital, Tang Xi had already entered the ICU.

  No one was allowed to go in for a visit. They could only look at him through a glass window.
