"Ugh—"
She was dying.
Her eyes rolled back, she wasn't breathing, her heart had stopped.
Enveloped by death, Ai Wei felt her soul drifting out of her body. She clearly saw a white shadow slowly detaching.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Christiano let go, and Ai Wei was violently thrown to the ground.
"Ah—"
"Hiss! Hiss!"
She gasped for air, clutching her chest, curled up on the ground, breathing in oxygen greedily.
Close, so close, she had almost died.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Christiano crouched down, his devilish voice echoing in the air, "You didn't think that by holding a small handle on me, by cooperating with me once, you could command me, boss me around, did you?"
"You didn't think you could threaten me like this, make me obedient, did you?"
At this moment, hearing this voice, Ai Wei felt like a demon claiming her life.
"No, no, no—" she rolled away, shaking her head in terror.
Perhaps she had entertained such thoughts before, but after what just happened, she had completely abandoned them.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
"Sir... I wouldn't dare think that."
Ai Wei gasped, begging for mercy repeatedly.
Christiano sneered, his sinister tone like that of a murderer, "There are many ways for me to make a person disappear completely."
"And without leaving a single trace."
"Do you want to try?"
Ai Wei trembled with fear, "No, no, no, I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."
Christiano was a ruthless devil who killed without blinking. She no longer dared to test him, to threaten him.
He would truly kill her!
How terrifying!
Christiano slowly stood up, looking down at Ai Wei, who was like an ant, with the disdain of a master, "The next time you see me, it might be at sea, in the jungle, on a volcano, or..."
Ah!
No!!!
Christiano intended to silence her and destroy all evidence!
Ai Wei shivered, trembling, and said fearfully, "I'll withdraw the lawsuit immediately, immediately."
Christiano hooked his lips evilly—it would have been better if you had listened earlier, wouldn't it?
Did he have to resort to such methods?
"Get out!"
The man roared in annoyance, and Ai Wei, scared out of her wits, fled the hotel.

Qin Yunxi exited the elevator, got into his sports car, and sped out of the hospital with a press of the accelerator.
But he didn't drive towards the beach.
He stopped by the roadside near the hospital, turned on his hazard lights. He—
He clearly felt that he had just slammed on the accelerator impulsively, like a child throwing a tantrum...
Pah, pah, pah!
He was not!
It was Mommy. Mommy would call him when she saw Grace, and he didn't want to run up and down, so he stopped here.
However, as time ticked by, his phone remained silent.
Qin Yunxi picked up his phone and looked at the screen again and again.
How strange!
Filled with doubt, he even considered calling Mommy to ask why she wasn't looking for him.
Then the phone rang.
But when Qin Yunxi saw the caller ID, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.
"Uncle, where have you gotten to?" Gu Shinian's soft voice asked, "It's getting windy, and I'm a little cold."
Qin Yunxi: "Almost there."
If Mommy didn't call, she wouldn't be looking for him, would she?
Without hesitation, Qin Yunxi stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Gu Shinian.
That night, he spent a wonderful evening with her. The nights spent with a lover were always so refreshing, but Qin Yunxi kept feeling his phone ringing.
"Ring, ring, ring—"
"Ring, ring, ring—"
