WAY

CHAPTER 401 - SCALE INJURY

That man didn't hold back at all and immediately started to push me towards the door. In the midst of my flustered struggles, I suddenly raised my head to look at the situation before me. Something wasn't right.

In that door, instead of the huge machine I had imagined, I saw only darkness, as if someone had removed the machine that was supposed to be inside.

However, even if I wasn't electrocuted to death, it would be even more terrifying if I were to die while locked in this small dark room …

I was thinking about this when the man began to throw me violently through the door. Yes, it was, by contrast, a total throw.

Facing such a small space, if I were to really smash my way in, I would probably die from the impact, right?

However, there was no way around it. There was no way for me to stabilize my body as I fell in, so this fall was unavoidable. Furthermore, I smashed my face into the wall.

I fell in under the tugging of the man without any suspense, but things were not quite as I expected.

I did fall down, but the intense impact that I imagined didn't come. Instead, I fell straight to the ground. There wasn't just no power supply machine inside the door, there wasn't even a wall.

It was only because there was almost no light inside the door and it was so dark that I thought it was an empty little room.

However, the truth was that the inside of the door was actually a dark passage. After I fell down, I was immediately lifted up by the man who followed me in.

He closed the door behind him, and all the light was gone, and in the darkness I was pushed forward by the man.

During the first part of the journey, there was no light at all, but as he walked, some light began to appear before him.

It turned out that this wasn't some power supply system at all, but a hidden passage, a downward slope passage. The road ahead was getting brighter, and there should be another room inside.

This was truly Gao Chengde's style. Previously, he had been separated into a secluded space in the upper level of a bar that was brightly lit, so now I seemed to be near where Mo Linyu was.

Thus, I couldn't help but carefully hold my breath. Following which, I started to hear some small sounds coming from inside the room. Not long after that, I saw a brightly lit room.

Rather than calling it a room, it would be more accurate to say that it was a warehouse. There was only a very large and spacious room, and it was filled with boxes of items.

But most importantly, I saw Gao Chengde sitting on a chair in the middle of the field, facing me, but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking at someone who was lying on the ground.

The man looked like he was injured and couldn't get up at all. He looked like this because blood could be seen on his clothes.

His body was covered with wounds, and he was on his last breath. He was just lying on his stomach facing Gao Chengde without any signs of wanting to speak or stand up. It seemed as if he really didn't have any strength left at all.

Even the sudden intrusion of the man behind me didn't attract his attention at all. No matter what happened, he just laid there quietly, not moving at all, like a person about to die.

The most terrifying thing is, I don't need any more evidence. Just based on this figure whose body is covered in wounds, I can basically determine that the person before me is Mo Linu without a doubt …

I looked at Mo Linju lying on the ground, and for a moment, I forgot my current situation. I just stood in place, completely worried about Mo Linju, and didn't dare to go up and take a look.

As long as I don't look, I can still hold onto a trace of hope at the bottom of my heart. I'm truly afraid, if I go up to look, and find that Mo Linyun is already hopeless, then what should I do?

I stopped in my tracks and stared at the frail figure on the ground. I just wanted him to get up and stand in front of me and tell me he was all right.

However, Mo Linju never made the slightest movement. It was actually Gao Chengde who noticed us, and he slowly raised his head to look at me.

When the man who pushed me over saw Gao Chengde looking in our direction, he immediately clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly, acting as though he was extremely careful.

However, Gao Chengde only looked at us, with no intention of opening his mouth.

At this moment, the man behind me hurriedly spoke up. This woman is causing trouble in the garage. I was worried that she would ruin your plans, so I brought her down for you to deal with …

The man narrated my actions outside, but Gao Chengde only narrowed his eyes and looked at me, not knowing if he heard what the man said or not.

Whether or not he heard those words, it didn't seem to matter anymore, because the way he looked at me seemed to be filled with a strong killing intent.

I wanted to dodge, but I found that I didn't know where to hide at all. Under Gao Chengde's gaze, I could only stand there stiffly, staring into his eyes.

It was only when Gao Chengde took the initiative to speak that the awkward situation finally ended. He stared at me and asked, Did you find this place yourself?

Friends … Someone is helping me. I subconsciously wanted to say that I had a friend to help me, but as the words were about to come out of my mouth, I realized that something was wrong, so I forcefully swallowed the words friend" back down.

After all, Chen Huanan and the others could no longer be considered friends. Those who had betrayed them before were just saying 'friends'.

But right now, this isn't the main point. The main point is that my next conversation with Gao Chengde will very likely determine Mo Linju, or even my life and death.

Fortunately, after hearing my reply, Gao Chengde did not pursue the matter any further. Who was the person who helped me? Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to reply.

Although I don't think of Chen Huanan and the others as my friends anymore, I still can't do this kind of thing like snitching someone else's help. I can't just turn the tables and sell them out, can I?

However, Gao Chengde didn't have any intentions of letting me go. He only narrowed his eyes and sized me up before continuing to ask, Then, what are you doing here?

In the face of Gao Chengde's obvious question, I actually didn't know how to reply for a while, so I could only blankly stand on the spot and look at Mo Ling Chen.

It occurred to me that Gao Chengde was simply asking me this question to express his almost perverted desire for control.

CHAPTER 402 - DON'T LET HIM GO

The question he was asking right now was not a question at all, but a threat, an attempt to use his absolute power to oppress me and make me give up the thought of saving Maureen.

If he were to obtain my compromise this time, to Gao Chengde, it would also mean that after so many years, he would still be able to control that daughter of his who violated his will.

That kind of feeling was probably the real reason why he did all of this. Actually, he could have completely ignored me and dealt with Mo Linyu, and even dealt with me as well without any problems.

Only, he didn't do that. On the contrary, after I arrived, Mo Linfin, who was on his last breath, didn't pay any attention to me and started to chat with me.

I finally understood what Gao Chengde meant, but I didn't intend to do what he wanted me to do, even though I knew that if I did, I would be able to keep my life.

However, the me now was no longer that Qin Sangyu who only knew how to avoid benefits and protect himself when he was at the Di Hao Palace.

At that time, I wasn't important to anyone, and no one would truly treat me well. Thus, I had to use all of my strength to protect myself and gain a foothold amidst the raging waves.

But it's different now. The dying man lying on the ground right in front of me didn't hesitate to give up his bright future to save me. He didn't even hesitate to give up his own life.

Even when he was in front of Gao Chengde, covered in wounds and on the verge of death, he only wanted to leave me with a chance to escape.

So I will never be weak again.

I finally mustered up my courage and looked at Gao Chengde, who was standing high above me, as I spoke in a neither humble nor haughty manner, You should know why I am here, right?

Gao Chengde didn't expect me to say that. The expression on his face changed to one of surprise for a moment, but it quickly changed to one of displeasure.

I knew he was probably really angry, but not because of a small, insignificant person like me. It was my resistance that made him feel that he was unable to control his daughter even after so many years.

Actually, I was very happy to see him so angry. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to save Maureen, I think I would have said more to make him unhappy.

However, the reason why I came here this time round was to save Morin and not to cause a ruckus with Gao Chengde.

As I thought of this, my expression immediately changed and my voice softened. I said to Gao Chengde, I came this time to beg you to let Mo Lin go.

Oh? Begging me? Gao Chengde had a strange smile on his face as he said, I've really never seen such a pleading attitude.

By 'attitude' he meant that I should kneel down and beg him.

But facing such an evil person, to make me kneel or flatter him was truly a great humiliation. It was even more disgusting than eating flies.

But if I don't, how am I going to save Maureen? Looking at the strong man in this room, don't even mention taking Mo Lin Yu out, I'm afraid if I were to make even the slightest movement, I would be beaten to death here.

Gao Chengde could tell that I was hesitating, but at the same time, he knew that there was no way for me to fight him. You don't want to save me anymore? "

After he finished speaking, he seemed to not feel satisfied and actually stretched out his leg, using the tip of his foot to move Mo Lin's gloomy face.

He seemed to want to see if he was still alive, but he didn't want to get himself dirty, so he used his shoes to pry it open. It looked just like what kind of filthy thing was Morin Yu?

Gao Chengde's actions were simply too excessive. I didn't have any time to think any further as I hastily raised my head and shouted, Don't touch him!

Oh? Facing my roar, Gao Chengde only uttered a short syllable.

I... You … I opened my mouth, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something and I was unable to speak. After a long time, I finally opened my mouth and whispered, What do you want me to do to release Mo Lin's depression?"

This time, Gao Chengde didn't immediately answer me like before. He didn't even raise his head to look at me, but instead lowered his head to carefully examine Mo Lin who was lying on the ground.

She seemed to be thinking, if she were to let him go, what request would she have to make him a reasonable one? However, it was more likely that Gao Chengde was thinking of letting Mo Lin who was always messing up his plans.

Although I didn't like the way he looked at Mo Linju like he was examining a commodity, I didn't dare to say anything more. I just held my breath and waited for Gao Chengde to speak.

However, what I didn't expect was that Gao Chengde didn't propose an excessive condition like I thought he would. Instead, he said something that made me feel even more hopeless: What if I don't want to let him go?

As soon as he said this, I panicked. I felt as if all my nerves were going to collapse at this moment.

I simply ignored Gao Chengde and the people around him, directly rushing forward. I knelt beside Mo Linju, picked him up, and looked at the situation.

The wounds on his body were really severe. He was still bleeding non-stop, and the moment I touched him, his hands were already stained with blood.

Thus, I hurriedly reached out my hand to cover the wound beside me, but there were too many wounds on Mo Linyu's body. It was completely useless for me to cover one wound like this, and I could only helplessly watch as the blood within his body gurgled out.

As for Gao Chengde, I wasn't in the mood to see his reaction. All I could feel was that the surrounding men started to move in unison, as if they were aiming their spears at me. However, they didn't move at all.

But if they kill me now, I won't be afraid. All the important people in my life are gone.

Right now, the only person left, Mo Linju, is also slowly dying in my embrace. Actually, thinking about it, dying with him like this is pretty good, at least I don't have to face this cold and dirty world by myself.

I looked intently at Mo Linju, hoping to give him another look before he died, but he never opened his eyes to look at me.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Mo Linju's chest was still moving up and down, I would have thought that he was already dead. However, even if he was still alive, it wouldn't be of any use.

CHAPTER 403 - NECKLACE

I also saw a patch of blood on Mo Lin's exposed arm. I could probably guess that it was probably a hidden locator device.

He was obviously a very smart person. He had done business so successfully that even at such a young age, he was still able to move between the black and white with ease.

However, why would such a smart person do such a foolish thing? In order to comfort my life, I took the initiative to put myself at risk to help the officials capture Gao Chengde.

I tightly hugged Mo Lin Yu as I sat in the pool of blood for a long time. Finally, I opened my mouth again. This time, I was determined to die together with Mo Linju. Kill us all.

But no one moved, no one even answered me, as if I were a nonexistent person.

The air was so still that it felt like it was about to freeze. After a long while, Gao Chengde finally opened his mouth and asked, You want to die with him?

I did not answer his question, but reluctantly took my gaze away from Morin and slowly raised my head to look up at Gao Chengde. Then, without a word, I nodded.

At this moment, I actually saw a trace of undulation in Gao Chengde's eyes, who had experienced all kinds of ups and downs. It was an indescribable emotion. I only felt a little sad, and it even seemed to be a little … Regret?

But I had no interest in observing what his eyes were saying. After all, he and I had reached the end of our lives.

Rather than spending more time guessing other people's emotions, it would be better to seriously look at Mo Ling Yu a few more times. Thus, I didn't think much of it, directly lowering my head, and once again looking at Mo Lin Xin.

At this moment, I heard Gao Chengde say something inexplicable, They really look alike …

Gao Chengde's voice was very soft. Rather than saying those words to me or others, it would be more accurate to say that he was sighing with emotion.

So I still ignored him, only looking at Mo Linyu, carefully patting his face without the slightest hint of blood, hoping that he would open his eyes and take another look at me.

However, my wish never came true. Mo Linyu quietly snuggled in my embrace, as if she was dead, as if she was asleep, more like a child seeking peace in her mother's arms.

At this time, Mo Lengyu's body had already become somewhat icy cold. I knew that this was the result of the gradual loss of his life, so I couldn't help but hug him even more forcefully.

I hope this will give Mo Lin some warmth. After all, other than hugging him tightly, I have no other choice.

At this moment, I didn't notice that Gao Chengde had suddenly stood up and was walking towards us.

It was only when he walked up to me and looked down at me condescendingly that I finally realized something. I didn't even look up.

However, Gao Chengde didn't seem to plan to let me pass just like this. He unexpectedly stood by our side, seeming to carefully size us up.

After who knows how long, Gao Chengde finally made his move. He didn't turn around to leave, but quickly bent down and picked me up.

Just as I was about to ask him what he wanted to do, I found that Gao Chengde had already reached out his hand towards my neck.

I winced at his gesture, but his grip on my arm gave me no chance to retreat.

Even though I tried my best to dodge, I was still caught by him. The moment his rough fingertips touched the skin on my neck, I felt like I might die.

Thus, I couldn't help but tightly close my eyes. However, I didn't feel the suffocating sensation from my windpipe. Instead, I only felt something tug at my neck before the hand that was grabbing me loosened.

When I opened my eyes again, I finally knew what had happened. Gao Chengde was standing there, his gaze fixated on a small object in his right hand.

It was — a necklace, yes, the necklace that Lady Smile had given me earlier. I had brought it with me to save Maureen, but the situation just now had made me think that even if I brought it out, it wouldn't be of much use.

But now, when Gao Chengde looked at the necklace, he made me feel that this necklace must be very important.

Gao Chengde had been staring at the necklace the entire time, and he seemed to be in a rather agitated mood. His hands even started to tremble slightly, as if he had obtained some sort of priceless treasure.

After a long while, Gao Chengde finally raised his head and looked at me with a sharp gaze. Who gave this to you? Tell me! Who gave it to you? "

At this point, Gao Chengde's tone was completely different from his usual domineering and arrogant attitude. I could feel that he was extremely emotional.

I was already prepared to die with Mo Lin, so there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. However, Gao Chengde, who was so excited, made me feel danger.

No wonder he was called the 'Emperor' of the underworld. It turned out that when he was agitated, he was really like the Emperor of ancient times. He was so majestic that no one dared to breathe.

Not only me, even the surrounding men all lowered their heads and looked at their own toes, not daring to look Gao Chengde in the eye. I think that Gao Chengde's emotional appearance was rarely seen by any of these people.

Just as I was thinking this and didn't know how to answer his question, Gao Chengde suddenly opened his mouth and said, This was left to you by your mother?

After saying that, he looked at me with great anticipation, making it impossible for me to say any negative words. However, this necklace was given to me by Lady Smiles, so what does it have to do with my mother?

However, even though my heart was like this, I didn't dare to actually say it out loud. I could only lower my head and remain silent.

However, Gao Chengde acted as if he didn't see my reaction at all, or perhaps he simply considered my reaction to be tacit acknowledgement. He then said to himself, It must be so. I knew it! I knew it! Hahaha!"

I had no idea what Gao Chengde was talking about, so I just stood there, careful not to move.

Looking at the nearly crazed Gao Chengde on the other side, I started to quietly move my position. Of course, I didn't want to escape, I just wanted to go to Mo Lin Yu's side.

Mo Linu was already on the verge of death, and I just wanted to accompany him more. So even in front of the weird and terrifying Gao Chengde, I was still unable to stand quietly on the spot.

CHAPTER 404 - BE HIS DAUGHTER

However, just as I moved a little and was still far away from Mo Linju, I heard Gao Chengde open his mouth from behind me: Actually, this matter isn't impossible to discuss.

Gao Chengde, who was in a crazed state just a moment ago, suddenly spoke in such a serious manner and with such incoherent words, I couldn't figure out what he was talking about.

He didn't even realize he was talking to me until Gao Chengde said, What? You're not going to save him?

At this moment, I finally understood. So Gao Chengde was talking to me about Mo Lin's matter. He seemed to be saying, you can let Mo Lin Yu off too?

After thinking about it, I turned my head abruptly and stared at Gao Chengde. Without thinking, I directly asked, What are the conditions?

Gao Chengde probably never thought that I would be so straightforward as to accept the conditions. In fact, even I didn't have the time to react. My mind was filled with only one thing, and that was … saving Mo Lin!

On the other side, Gao Chengde seemed to be thinking about how to express his condition, but on this side, the vital signs on Mo Linju's body were getting fewer and fewer.

His face was originally devoid of blood, and the blood that gushed out from the various wounds on his body started to gradually decrease. However, this wasn't because his injuries had improved, but because he'd already lost too much blood.

Originally, I wanted to die with Mo Lin, so no matter what, it doesn't matter anymore. But now it's different, Gao Chengde has a plan to release Mo Linju, then I must fight for every second before I can really save Mo Lin.

Seeing Gao Chengde silently staring at me as he thought, I couldn't help but anxiously say, What are the conditions? Tell me!

Before I finished saying this, I thought of something else and hurriedly continued, How about this? First, you release Molin. Afterwards, the conditions are fine, but I accept them all.

I looked eagerly at Gao Chengde, hoping that he would quickly put forward the conditions for me, and then release Mo Linju.

At this time, Gao Chengde narrowed his eyes, looking at Mo Linyu lying on the ground, then turning his head to look at me, who was standing at the side, seemingly thinking of something.

Are you sure? For his sake, are you willing to accept any conditions? Gao Chengde looked at me and asked again.

I didn't think much of it and nodded towards Gao Chengde, saying, Yes, he risked his life to save me. Even if he came to find you, it was just to make my life a little more peaceful, so no matter what, I must save him!

At this moment, Gao Chengde's expression changed, but he didn't do anything else. After a moment of silence, he looked directly at me and said, Actually, my request isn't considered excessive.

I quietly looked at Gao Chengde and slowly said, I can let him go. As long as he promises not to disturb me in the future, I can let him go.

Then... That's it? Hearing these words, I found it hard to believe. Just a moment ago, you were unwilling to let go of the depressed Gao Chengde, but now you're releasing him so easily?

Sure enough, things won't be that easy. Gao Chengde mysteriously shook his head and said, Of course not, I also want you to be at ease and be my daughter, a good and obedient daughter!

Be your daughter? I looked at him, puzzled. But I'm not your daughter.

Hearing my words, Gao Chengde turned around to look at me in displeasure, as if he felt that I was deliberately trying to shirk responsibility. After staring for a long time, he finally opened his
