The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(166-170)

**Chapter 166: Captivity**


Food and plates scattered on the ground, creating a mess.


The servants present were startled, and the atmosphere became tense. They hurriedly cleaned up.


The air suddenly became heavy.


Jiang Chenchen looked at him, clearly surprised.


In her memory, he had never been angry like this in front of her. Did she say something wrong just now?


Zhan Chen had already stood up. Although he usually used a wheelchair, he now struggled to stand and slowly walked towards her.


His slender and once handsome figure approached. He didn't look as severe as he does now.


Back then, it might have been easy for him to experience heartaches, but now, is even walking such a difficult task?


Jiang Chenchen watched him approach, and he bent down, one hand grabbing her chin. The previous anger had disappeared, replaced by a contradictory and gentle demeanor.


"I don't want to lose you for a moment. Are you repulsed by my body?"


Tiny beads of sweat dotted his pale face, and his breathing had slowed to the point of almost being inaudible.


Jiang Chenchen looked into his eyes. "No..."


"Then don't leave."


Zhan Chen was almost close to her face. His expressionless face, with the light in his eyes, stared at her. "Don't refuse. Maybe later, I'll try to let you leave my sight."


Jiang Chenchen stared at his face. "You're imprisoning me."


Zhan Chen lightly chuckled. The smile was like the gentlest breeze, and he denied, "No, Chenchen, I just want you to be by my side, like before. Even if you don't speak, as long as you're by my side."


"That's not me; that's a thoughtless puppet."


"It doesn't matter, anything is fine, as long as it's you. Do you understand?"


His eyes, as mysterious as moonlight, were fixed on her, his tone gentle and indifferent.


It turns out he has been a madman from the beginning to the end.


Jiang Chenchen took his hand off her chin. She applied a bit of force, and the person in front of her seemed so fragile that she could almost break his arm with a little effort.


But despite his frail body, the inherent fierce combat power was extremely ferocious. He could easily stab a knife into someone's body, almost not seeing when he drew the knife.


He carried sharp weapons all over his body, as well as firearms hidden somewhere.


"So, from now on, what you want to trap me in is just a puppet."


She no longer ate, spoke, or even looked at him.


Zhan Chen, seeing this, reached out to touch her head. His gaze was faint, lazily saying, "This is enough."


He didn't care about the kind of person she was, as long as she stayed by his side.


He shifted his gaze, turned around, and sat back in the wheelchair, returning to the room.


He had been traveling tirelessly, without stopping to rest, and he was very tired.


This damn body.


He wearily lay on the bed, and a accompanying doctor checked his body, administered medication, and tubes were inserted into his brain.


Jiang Chenchen was invited in and had been watching his treatment.


Before, he didn't avoid doing anything in front of her, but at that time, she had no reaction. Now, facing this pain head-on, although he endured it, his pale face almost distorted, and he was covered in cold sweat.


He looked at her, calling her name.



Jiang Chenchen, though feeling differently inside, remained unmoved in her place.


Zhan Chen's pained features drooped, and frost gathered in his silver-gray eyes. She truly had no heart.


There was a knock on the door.


Soon, the person entered.


The visitor didn't change shoes, approaching in high heels, patting Jiang Chenchen on the shoulder with an unexpected look, "It's really you?"


Jiang Chenchen smelled the familiar scent of perfume and turned to see the school doctor, Fang Yiqing.


The Mr. Zhan on her phone was indeed Zhan Chen. They actually knew each other!


Fang Yiqing, wearing high heels, a contrasting outfit from her school days with large earrings, a thin necklace, V-neck short top, short skirt, revealing not only her waist but also her long thighs. She wore thin-heeled sandals, looking extremely sexy.


"Jiang Chenchen, you always surprise me. You wouldn't be..." She suddenly approached, speaking in a voice only they could hear, "hunting, right?"


"What are you talking about? I don't understand."


"Looks like you're just prey." Fang Yiqing caught Zhan Chen's sweeping gaze and concluded.


She restrained her expression, no longer teasing Jiang Chenchen. Instead, she walked towards Zhan Chen on the bed, greeting him.


Looking at the data on the screen and the medical records, her expression became serious. "It seems to be getting worse."


This hereditary disease was a worldwide challenge, and his condition was even worse. Since infancy, he often faced the possibility of death.


The body harbored mutated monster genes, and now, at the age of twenty-four, he had already achieved remarkable survival.


His father died at the age of thirty, and now, at twenty-four, his health was deteriorating. If the treatment didn't work, and there was no breakthrough, he could die at any time.


Their entire medical team was helpless.


Fang Yiqing came back to explore breakthroughs and research in treatment.


At least for her, this unique experimental subject was very challenging.


"I must say, your willpower is really strong." She sighed and administered a drug through his bloodstream.


The pain of this body was unbearable for ordinary people, but he had been enduring it since birth, never uttering a word of pain.


But now, he couldn't even speak.


Fang Yiqing communicated with the doctor beside her for a moment, then waved for Jiang Chenchen to come over. "I heard you want to become a nurse?"


She handed over the drug and syringe. "Come, give him an injection."


"Are you crazy?!" The nearby doctor was shocked. Who was lying on that bed? It was Zhan Chen! A person who could easily crush others like ants. She let this dull girl do the experiment?


There were nurses here!


Zhuo Yi was even more cold and intercepted, "Are you seeking death?"


He exuded strong hostility, full of warning.


Jiang Chenchen did nothing and was treated as if facing a great enemy.


Fang Yiqing glanced at him and said, "Is it necessary? Mr. Zhan would probably be willing, right?"


"Nonsense!" Although Zhuo Yi knew that Master Zhan liked that girl, joking in the face of life and death was unacceptable!


While Fang Yiqing was a famous doctor, her approach to treatment always made people uneasy, especially her attitude, as if treating a rare experiment. He had long disliked her!


Fang Yiqing knew he was hostile but didn't care, saying, "Just ask Mr. Zhan, right?"


Ning Yi frowned, feeling it was impossible. He looked back at Master Zhan lying on the sickbed. As long as Master Zhan gave a slight indication, punishing a doctor would be nothing.


Zhan Chen, sweating all over, almost pathetically pale, exerted all his strength to say, "Let her do it."

**Chapter 167: Probably a Pervert**

This statement shocked Ning Yi and others.


Ning Yi was puzzled. Zhan Chen had previously caused a scene, flipping the table because of the mention of Jiang Chenchen helping with his treatment. How come he was now taking such a risky step by letting her do it?


After all, this woman wasn't even a nurse; she was just a high school graduate!


He couldn't understand!


Zhan Chen didn't care. As long as she approached, even if she was treated as an experimental subject, he was willing. He was already a broken body, and being able to live for one more day, with her by his side, was enough joy.


Fang Yiqing handed the syringe to Jiang Chenchen as if encouraging her. "Give it a try. Believe in yourself."


She had already noticed that Zhan Chen treated Jiang Chenchen differently. It was evident from the way he looked at her when she entered. Despite his seemingly gentle appearance, he was a cruel and ruthless person, almost irredeemable.


However, he treated Jiang Chenchen differently. Apart from doctors and nurses, only trusted subordinates could enter here. What made her special?


She had a rough idea.


The reason for letting Jiang Chenchen, who might not have even handled a syringe before, do this might help improve his mood. Having the girl he liked by his side during treatment might alleviate some of the pain, or perhaps serve as reference data.


Jiang Chenchen took the syringe and medication, walked over to Zhan Chen, and felt the real pain before her eyes. He trusted her so much; she suddenly wanted to help him.


A nurse guided her on what to do.


The whole process seemed absurd. More surprisingly, she appeared calm, following the instructions without hesitation.


Zhan Chen's inner arm already had bruise marks, indicating he was pricked almost every day. He endured the pain, looking at her. Watching his favorite girl, she calmly inserted the needle into his bloodstream as per the instructions.


Pain.


A smile appeared on his lips, starting from a shallow smile, growing intense, perplexing everyone present.


They had never seen Mr. Zhan like this.


Fang Yiqing, seeing this, sighed. This was probably a pervert, enjoying the feeling of being injected by the girl he liked. Every intimate contact satisfied him.


He was already a genetic anomaly, so it wasn't surprising.


But how did Jiang Chenchen know such a person?


The estranged relative, what kind of person was her cousin Ming Si?


Jiang Chenchen withdrew the needle and asked him, "Is it okay?"


Although she seemed calm on the surface, she was extremely nervous inside.


It was her first attempt. Would she be a good nurse in the future?


Zhan Chen, with silver-gray eyes fixed on her, said, "Mm."


The possessiveness in his eyes was too strong.


Did he want her to stay again?


Even though he didn't say a word, she understood.


She released her hand but was pressed back by Fang Yiqing. "Let the blood clot a bit longer; his body is special."


At the same time, Fang Yiqing looked at the screen data, her eyes brightening. It seemed that this method was effective; there were noticeable fluctuations in the data.


"Stay here. If anything happens, call us. His pain will be relieved a bit more with you around."


"But..."


Her phone in her pocket vibrated.


It must be Sheng Mingsi calling. Was he worried that she hadn't returned home yet?


She wanted to go home immediately.


Fang Yiqing, being closer, heard the phone's vibration. "Your phone? Let me answer for you."


She took the phone out of her pocket.


She saw eleven digits.


"Who?"


The number seemed familiar. Could it be...?


She glanced at Jiang Chenchen, who wanted to stop her, and walked outside to answer the call.


"Where are you? Why did you answer the phone so late?"


The voice on the phone was a suppressed, cold tone, with unmistakable concern, all wrapped in a chilling voice.


She raised her eyebrows. "I'm here."


There was a brief pause on the other end. "Fang Yiqing!"


Fang Yiqing smiled, "Although we've severed ties, there's no need to use my full name, right? I know you must be wondering why she's here. It's just a coincidence. Do you want to know the details between women, or did you two already share a bed last time? Why do you care so much?"


She mocked, always indifferent to others.


Sheng Mingsi's tone became colder, unmistakably saying, "Cut the nonsense; let her answer the phone."






**Chapter 168: Trapped**


"She's not available right now. Wait until she has time to call you back. Don't worry; she's doing well."


Fang Yiqing hung up the phone.


What if he found out that Jiang Chenchen was at another man's house?


If it were not for Zhan Chen's status, she wouldn't be afraid of things getting out of hand. But this man was not someone she could afford to provoke.


She turned off her phone.


If Sheng Mingsi called again, it would be unreachable. He didn't know what her cousin was up to. Last time, she played a prank, and he truly worried that Jiang Chenchen couldn't handle her unconventional cousin.


Why wasn't she answering the phone?


......


Fang Yiqing entered the room and placed the phone back into Jiang Chenchen's pocket.


"It's okay. Stay here for now."


Everyone else had left.


Zhan Chen agreed.


In the room filled with medical equipment, Zhan Chen fell asleep, exhausted. He held her hand tightly.


Even in the two years they knew each other before, he had never made any inappropriate moves toward her. Even holding hands like this had never happened.


He wasn't like those who seemed to have ulterior motives upon seeing her appearance. He treated her like the closest family.


In the past, she never felt this way, but now looking back, it was clear.


Jiang Chenchen sat on the bed, held by him, lost in thought. The sky outside the window was very blue, the sun shining brightly. She wanted to leave.


After working the night shift and being busy until now, it was almost noon. She lay down on the bed and fell asleep.


When she woke up, she found herself sleeping on the bed, covered with a thin blanket.


And Zhan Chen was not there.


Outside the window, it was dark, a small lamp by the bedside.


She hurriedly got up, realizing she had slept for so long. Her messy hair was scattered, and she didn't have time to think about it. Where were her shoes?


She didn't see them; she went out barefoot.


The door was locked.


He really wanted to imprison her here!


She went to get her phone but realized it wasn't there!


In this unfamiliar place, she was completely unaware that her phone had been taken. Who carried her to the bed, she had no idea.


But she didn't want to stay here.


Outside the window, she rushed to the window to jump out, but the windows had burglar bars. There was no escape!


This place was like a giant cage.


The bathroom door opened.


It turned out there was someone else in the room!




After bathing, Zhan Chen came out, wearing loose white clothes, looking fresh and clean.


His body seemed to have improved a lot. He could now walk without a wheelchair, and his steps were not as floating as before.


There was no sign of the previous agony.


"You're awake."


Zhan Chen walked towards her, looking down at her with a pleased expression. He didn't cast an oppressive gaze, appearing genuinely happy to stand in front of her, just like in the past when he used to talk to her.


Jiang Chenchen stared at his face, completely indifferent to his current mood. She said, "Let me go."


Her cold brows and eyes, along with her words, stung his eyes.


Zhan Chen's eyes dimmed. "I feel sad when you talk to me like this."


In the past, he always hoped that she would respond to him. Even if she casually answered a few words, it would make him happy. However, after not seeing her for several years and meeting again, hearing her speak like this was unexpectedly hurtful.


She had changed, becoming a girl with her own thoughts.


He didn't have the confidence to keep her by his side, but at the same time, he couldn't bear to let her go.


He didn't want to let go.


Jiang Chenchen only knew that she couldn't stay here any longer. "How can I leave?! I have a part-time job tonight. I need to go to work!"


She looked anxious, clearly not wanting to stay here.


Everything had changed.


Zhan Chen felt a pain in his chest, subconsciously pressing it with his hand. He stepped back and sat on the sofa, his thin and slender body hiding in the dark corner.


"When you're here, I can offer you a higher salary. Work for me."


"No, it's different. This is a scheduled car race. I hope you don't stop me. Even driving is something you taught me. Have you forgotten?"


Jiang Chenchen walked towards the sofa, earnestly pleading. At the same time, she glanced at the time; it was 7:30 in the evening, and the race would start in two and a half hours.


Hearing her words, Zhan Chen suddenly missed the days when they used to race together on the mountain roads at night.


"I see."


"What?"


"Let's have a race. If you win, I'll let you leave."


So, he joined in!?


Ning Yi and the doctor thought it was crazy. Although they knew that Master Zhan never followed the rules and did whatever he wanted, no one could stop his decisions.


But could this body really handle it?!


It wasn't about whether it could handle it or not; it was about whether he wanted to do it.


Zhan Chen didn't care. He had a high-performance modified racing car, and various cars with different performances were prepared in the villa's parking lot, just because he decided to come back.


But Jiang Chenchen's mindset was different from every previous time.


Was she going to decide her fate through a race like this?


She didn't want it to be like this, but if not, she wouldn't even have a chance to leave.


Wudao Mountain, the racetrack, was already set.


Before Jiang Chenchen got out of his car, Zhan Chen's silver-gray eyes were tightly focused on her. The corners of his mouth lifted with a certain degree of curvature. "Chenchen, let me see your skills."


He wanted to see how proficient the girl he had once taught had become.


Jiang Chenchen looked back at him. "Can I trust your words?"


"Do you really want to leave my side so badly?"


"I want freedom. We can still be friends."



"Friends?" Zhan Chen lightly laughed. His pale face was as soft as moonlight. He reached over and lifted her chin with the hand on the steering wheel, leaning in so close that their breaths mingled. He looked into her eyes and said, "I don't need friends."


Jiang Chenchen could feel the faint breath falling on her face. He appeared gentle like the moon and even when he smiled, it was soft and beautiful. However, deep inside, he was a person with a heart hardened to cruelty and slaughter.


He didn't need friends, so why did he constantly confine himself by her side?


She couldn't understand.


She never thought about it before, and now she was even more puzzled.


"Why me?"


Zhan Chen's silver-gray eyes drooped, and the hand that was holding her chin moved to the back of her neck. He leaned close to her ear, as if tired, he circled her and leaned against her shoulder. He spoke with sadness and hurt, "Maybe because I thought we were the same kind of people. But you secretly betrayed me."


The mournful tone fell into her ears, evoking a scene of helplessness and pain in her memories. She glanced at him.


With eyes flickering, she spoke softly, "I appreciate your care in the past, but I want to grow."


Zhan Chen moved away from her shoulder, glancing at her with his oblique eyes. "Then win this race. The winner has the right to speak."


"I will do my best."


Jiang Chenchen got out of the car.


Someone secretly filmed the scene in the car, and Sun Bailong discreetly shared it in a large group. Privately, they knew that Jiang Chenchen belonged to Sheng Mingsi, but the man in the car with her was surprisingly intimate!


Jiang Chenchen was too bold. She had previous rumors with male celebrities in the entertainment industry, and now she seemed to have hooked up with another man. She seemed utterly indifferent to whether Sheng Mingsi would be upset!


With the mentality of being a bystander, this secretly filmed video quickly caused a stir in the group.


The most active member in the group, Ye Xi, was the first to get the big news. He was shocked beyond belief. This was even more explosive than the previous rumors with celebrities; this time there was a video as evidence!


Could this be posted in the Four Young Master's group? Would it be shot down immediately as an accomplice of the Four Young Master?


In just two minutes, the video in the group suddenly disappeared.


Fortunately, he had saved it at that time!


He decisively posted it in the Four Young Master's group, and after posting it, he turned off his phone for self-preservation.


Sun Bailong, who had filmed the video and shared it in the group, was pressed to the ground by a tall and strong man. The man grabbed his phone and deleted the shared video.


Sun Bailong was infuriated. He was also a person of status in the capital. Who dared to treat him like this?


After scolding and warning a few times, he called his companions. Ning Yi threw the phone on the ground, took out a gun very inconspicuously, aimed it at his head, and scared Sun Bailong immediately!


Who the hell was this underworld person who appeared out of nowhere!


Although he was a well-known second-generation rich in the capital and had never encountered such a situation where someone pointed a gun at him, he was scared by this direct threat to his head.


Beside him were people from the car team, so many people, and yet it was so blatantly done!


Who was this person anyway?! Who were the people in the car?!


Ning Yi said, "Can you shut up?"


Sun Bailong quickly raised his hands in surrender. This person was different from the others he usually met; he exuded a strong murderous aura.


Ning Yi put away the gun, let him go, and Sun Bailong quickly got up from the ground. He even forgot to pick up his phone and ran towards the people from the car team.


As for Ning Yi, he walked to Zhan Chen's car, exchanged a few words, and then retreated back to the car behind.


Behind them were seven or eight escort cars along with doctors and emergency equipment, prepared for unforeseen circumstances.


Sun Bailong saw Jiang Chenchen and immediately grabbed her, pulling her into a corner, asking anxiously, "Who did you bring here again?!"

**Chapter 169: Encounter**

Jiang Chenchen glanced at the person by the car when she heard the voice. "He's also here to race, a... racer. Very skilled."


"What I want to know is how you know such a person? What's your relationship?" 


"A friend."


"Friend?" Sun Bailong was quite suspicious. Glancing at the person leaning lazily against the car window, casting a casual and seductive gaze, the eyes were like a gentle snake, intoxicating and nerve-racking at the same time. He was shocked; who exactly was this person?


However, since he initiated this night race, if that person wanted to participate, he had to inform them. So, despite his internal wariness, he adjusted his expression and went over to invite the racers.


Jiang Chenchen did not go with them. She got into the car, familiarizing herself with it. This time, it wasn't Sun Bailong who provided the car but Zhan Chen who selected a high-performance racing car for her, claiming it was top-notch.


Since the level of racing cars was at stake, the best preparation had to be made.


Although Sun Bailong was thinking about revealing his identity when he approached, perhaps he could still maintain an imposing manner, but after going over and exchanging a few words, he realized that none of his usual approaches worked. Even the usual way of treating each other like brothers didn't work.


Zhan Chen, on the other hand, didn't give him a hard time. He casually said, "Let me see your skills later."


He didn't take these people seriously, but his tone was very casual and polite.


Sun Bailong had the illusion that maybe he could make friends after this race.


The summer night was hot, and they adjusted their collars before getting ready in their respective positions.


Jiang Chenchen had already prepared herself. In this short time, she familiarized herself with the car. This race was crucial for her freedom; she had to win!


Compared to this mountain road, she was more familiar with it than Zhan Chen, but she understood Zhan Chen's strength and his madness.


He was crazier than anyone she had ever known!


She had to go all out!


The racers were ready. In this summer night, fireworks lit up, flag bearers waved, and the cars sped away.


...


At this time, Sheng Mingsi was at the old mansion. After leaving the company due to his mother's emotional problems, he returned here.


Taking care of a patient with emotional problems was more tiring than dealing with work-related matters.


His mother's voice was hoarse, and her emotions were extremely unstable. Therefore, he didn't have time to check his phone, and he had no idea about the video sent in the group.


Although he was a bit worried about Jiang Chenchen, she should be fine with his cousin. Besides, they were just staying together; what could possibly go wrong?


After calming his mother's emotions, he poured warm water and said, "Have a good rest."


Sheng Qinhua leaned weakly against the head of the bed, half-closing her eyes, looking at him and said, "Mingsi, don't make the mistakes your mother made. Never invest sincere feelings in others, or you will live in pain forever! That girl, she's not simple, not simple!"


Her subordinates were investigating her son's purpose in coming here, including the man who appeared at her husband's destination. Lately, she had frequent nightmares, unstable emotions, and was prone to outbreaks, all influenced by these factors.


From her instinct, she firmly believed that the person must be their illegitimate child!


A person who disappeared for so many years suddenly appeared; it was like a thorn in her throat, becoming sharper and more intolerable. She must kill him!


And that Jiang Chenchen.


The woman who deceived her son's feelings, that woman was clearly the woman who was the head of the largest gang in country A.


Such a person suddenly approached, with an ulterior motive.


She waved to the butler who was waiting and had him throw the photos of Jiang Chenchen being tracked in front of Sheng Mingsi.


Sheng Mingsi's eyes turned cold, and the hand holding the water cup trembled imperceptibly.


The man in the photo was the man he had arranged to take care of Jiang Chenchen when she was sheltered in country A.


The man had taught her many things and sent her back to the country due to external conflicts. Now that things had stabilized, he had come to take her away, right?


And Jiang Chenchen got into his car, went to the man's villa, and didn't answer his calls.


All because of that man...


Thinking of this, his expression became even more gloomy.


"You don't need to interfere in my affairs."


He ignited the photos using a lighter and threw them into the ashtray. Doing these things seemed inexplicably calm and cold. He continued to feed his mother water and medicine, saying, "Take your medicine and get a good night's sleep."


"Mingsi, I'm worried about you!"


Sheng Mingsi's eyes turned colder. "Mother, I've said it before. I know how to handle my own affairs. I hope you understand that I never like anyone interfering."


Sheng Qinhuang closed her eyes, feeling both angry and anxious but also helpless.


"You better not be softhearted. Find a woman from a suitable background and marry her for mutual benefits. That's the path for your future."


After saying this, she took the medicine, lay down, and fell asleep.


Sheng Mingsi put down the water cup, leaving it to the servant to take care of. He left with an indifferent expression.


Opening his phone, he saw the video sent by Ye Xi in the group.


His black eyes were extremely cold. He gripped the phone tightly, lowered his gaze, and walked out of the old mansion. Before getting into the car, he forcefully threw the phone to the ground.


The phone screen instantly cracked into pieces.


The driver was scared stiff, holding the steering wheel with trembling hands.


Mr. Sheng had been angry before, but he had never lost control like this!


No one knew what had happened.


Sheng Mingsi asked the driver to get out, and the driver hurriedly got out, almost stumbling.


He got into the car, speeding away. The bodyguards followed, and the driver and others quickly picked up the phone from the ground. Even though it was Sheng Mingsi's phone, it couldn't be treated as garbage just because he threw it.


Sheng Mingsi raced towards Wudao Mountain, his mind in chaos, filled with turmoil and coldness that penetrated to the depths of his heart on this summer night.


When he arrived, the race was over.


Through the darkness, he saw Jiang Chenchen in the car with that man. They were in the back seat, and although they were just blurry figures, he couldn't be mistaken.


It was Jiang Chenchen.


The person he had been thinking about all day.


That man was in her arms, at her neck, and they were so intimate.


It was a sight he had never seen before and was afraid to see.


Sheng Mingsi felt an icy chill all over his body, and the hand gripping the steering wheel tightened. His eyes became even colder, dark as an abyss. The emotions he never dared to expect were torn apart completely.


At this moment, he realized he was nothing.


Even the courage to question had been shattered, what qualifications did he have?


Brother?


He coldly smiled, a deep smile at the corner of his lips.


Yet, it was so miserable.


He didn't want to stay for a moment longer, like a pitiful and unnecessary joke!


He turned the car around and left.

Chapter 170: Jealousy

Jiang Chenchen seemed to sense a familiar gaze but turned to look and saw nothing.


Only the departing vehicle in the dark night.


But nothing could be clearly seen.


The person leaning against her neck, due to the intense and crazy race, was greatly affected by the body's strain. Although he should have been the first to charge, he suddenly lost control near the finish line. His hands were powerless, and the steering wheel nearly hit the guardrail!


At the critical moment, his skilled driving and instincts stopped the car, but it still couldn't avoid the impact. After the impact, his body couldn't bear it, and he immediately spat out blood.


Meanwhile, Jiang Chenchen overtook him at this moment and won first place.


According to the rules, she had won.


Zhan Chen should keep his promise.


His pale and bloodless face buried in her shoulder, his tone was ethereal and resentful, "I really can't bear to let go. I want you to stay with me for a lifetime, even though I might not have many years left to live."


He chuckled softly, lifting his head to look into her eyes. The silver-gray eyes shimmered with a strong possessiveness. "Remember, I set you free, let you grow, but you can only belong to me. If any other man approaches you with ill intentions, I will kill him. Do you understand?"


The words of slaughter came out of his mouth so casually.


Jiang Chenchen instinctively stepped back, "Those are not ill-intentioned people; they are my friends. You are still interfering in my life."


Zhan Chen reached out to cup her cheek, forcing her to look into his eyes, gently saying, "This is already my concession, Chenchen. Don't take advantage."


Jiang Chenchen grabbed his hand and, looking into his eyes very seriously, said, "You're sick. Maybe it's the dependence that comes with illness, treating me as family. I know this feeling. As long as you stop hurting others recklessly, I can be your support, your family."


"Family," Zhan Chen paused for a moment, a mocking smile playing on his lips.


His mother had abandoned him after his father's death when he was not yet ten.


Living difficultly with this broken body, surviving to this day was a miracle.


He climbed to the top from a difficult situation, experienced life and death, once trusted the inner head who had trained him step by step, only to suddenly receive a secret order to kill him.


Is this the fate of achieving too much?


That year, at nineteen, he set a trap and successfully killed that man, becoming the new leader.


Later, when he remembered his mother, who had abandoned him, he didn't even wait for the day he wanted to retaliate; she was already bedridden, dying.


He was already accustomed to this lonely abandonment.


But the person in front of him said she could be his support?


This girl, who used to make him feel like a kindred spirit, after a few years apart, could now say such eloquent words.


The corners of his mouth drooped, and all the smiles congealed.


"It seems you still don't understand."


What he wanted was not a simple family; it was love, something luxurious in this lifetime.


However, her words still softened his heart for a moment.


"Hurry up, or I'll regret it soon. The car is yours."


He moved to the side, leaning against the pillow lazily and enduring the urge to act.


"Car, I can't take it..."


Jiang Chenchen couldn't accept such a gift.


Zhan Chen glanced sideways, "3.2..."


Countdown.


Without further hesitation, Jiang Chenchen opened the car door and got out, afraid he would change his mind.


Today's prize money, she left the cheque in the car when she closed the door, thinking of some words to make him not refuse. She said casually, "Consider it as my victory for you."


Consider it as the rent for the car. After saying that, she quickly walked away.


The person in the car didn't call her back.


Zhan Chen picked up the cheque in the car. This amount of money was nothing to him, but her words just now were imprinted in his mind.


She won it for him.


...


Jiang Chenchen drove back. Her phone, which had been returned to her, was still turned off. After turning it on, she saw several missed calls.


There were calls from Ye Xi and Sheng Mingsi.


Sheng Mingsi...


She hesitated but called him, and no one answered.


She called several times in a row, but still, no one answered.


She then called Wu Bi.


Wu Bi didn't blame her either; he had never seen Sheng Mingsi so angry before and had no idea what she had done to upset him!


So he said, "Try another number; that phone is out of service."


Out of service?!


Jiang Chenchen noted down the number and dialed it.


The call was answered, but there was no response, just a significant amount of wind noise.


"Brother Ah Si?"


"Brother Ah Si, are you there? I'm sorry for today; due to various circumstances, I couldn't answer the phone. I'm sorry for making you worry; I'm on my way home now."


There was a lot of wind noise on the other side, but no one spoke.


"Brother Ah Si? Are you okay?!"


Hearing her anxious voice, as if unable to hold back, in the silent night, a hoarse and indifferent voice came through, "Where did you go?"


Sheng Mingsi was asking her.


Jiang Chenchen heard him speak, but instead of focusing on his question, she sighed in relief and said, "Brother Ah Si, I thought something happened to you. It's good that you're okay."


Sheng Mingsi repeated in a cold and detached tone.


He usually had a cold tone, but the voice on the phone was exceptionally distant, as if he were asking a stranger.


Only now did Jiang Chenchen sense that something was wrong, and her heart tightened. "Brother Ah Si, I was racing on Wudao Mountain. The race ended, and I'm on my way home now."


She didn't mention the other person.


Sheng Mingsi, overlooking the abyss-like mountain top, asked, "What about during the day?"


Jiang Chenchen replied, "I was with the school doctor sister, your cousin, Dr. Fang."


"Chenchen, I want to hear the truth. Don't lie to me again." Sheng Mingsi's voice was filled with pain and jealousy. Seeing that man getting so close to her, he went crazy with jealousy.


And he could only be her what? Brother?


Nothing at all!


Now, at this point, is she still lying to him? Clearly, she is so intimate with that man!


But any man who dared to offend her would be pushed away by her, yet she didn't do the same with that man. They were so close; they had been together for two years since she was fifteen!


Those two years were something he had never experienced. He didn't even know what they went through, how they spent those two years together.


On the mountaintop at night, a slight cool breeze brought relief, but he felt cold from the heart to the soles of his feet, and the discomfort reached its peak. He even felt like he was losing his grip on the phone in his hand.


Jiang Chenchen sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Brother Ah Si, what happened? Have you been to Wudao Mountain?"
