713 Make Her Shut up Forever
Shen Sisi grabbed Zhan Cangqiong’s sleeve with tears in her eyes and said, “Zhan Cangqiong, don’t lose your temper at my sister. I know that in her heart, I’m just a promiscuous woman. I… should not have come to the banquet with you.” A stream of tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes, and she cried out, “no matter who it is, as long as it’s a man standing in front of me, he will be maliciously judged. Zhan Cangqiong, I’m sorry. I’ve involved you in this matter…” Her guilty appearance would melt a man’s heart.
Shen Hanxing wanted to give her a round of applause for her acting. On the surface, Shen Sisi seemed guilty of implicating Zhan Cangqiong’s reputation and causing him to suffer criticism and suspicion that he should not bear, but in reality? Every sentence hinted Shen Hanxing was the one who had slandered her. She would suspect Shen Sisi when she was with any man, and she had been innocent from the beginning.
Zhan Cangqiong’s face darkened. He turned to look at Shen Sisi with a complicated expression. After a while, he lifted his hand and patted Shen Sisi’s shoulder. “Don’t cry. I don’t blame you.”
Shen Hanxing almost laughed out loud when she saw this. It seemed like Zhan Cangqiong knew Shen Sisi’s love history very well. Under such circumstances, he was still deeply in love and was willing to pave the way for Shen Sisi. Shouldn’t she be amazed by the power of love?
“Zhan Cangqiong, you’re the best!” Shen Sisi’s face was touched and calm. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.” She lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly as if she was sobbing softly. However, her eyes were cold. Until now, she had not figured out Zhan Cangqiong’s identity. She only knew that he had a strong background and seemed related to the higher-ups. He was very generous and seemed to be omnipotent. More importantly, he had a good impression of her.
Zhan Cangqiong was neither good nor evil. He sometimes kept his distance from her. He seemed not to care, but he would help her when she was in trouble. Even if his methods were cruel, they were simple and effective. Shen Sisi knew this was her chance to make a comeback, so she had to hold on to Zhan Cangqiong and not let go. During this time, she had long had enough of a life where everyone ignored her. She must stand on the top, look down on those who had once laughed at her, and ruthlessly step on them.
Shen Sisi lost a lot of weight during this time. The dress she was wearing could not cover her thin shoulders. From the side, she looked like a piece of paper. Seeing her like this, Zhan Cangqiong’s gaze kept changing. In the end, he sighed softly. He thought to himself, “This is terrible. I, Zhan Cangqiong, have been killing people since I was six. I’ve been stained with countless blood. I’ve always been cold and emotionless, and I’ve never been soft-hearted to anyone. But now, I lost all that before Shen Sisi. I can’t bear to see her cry, and I can’t bear to see her sad. Even if she frowned, her heart would ache for a long time.”
“Silly girl, what’s there to cry about? If you’re unhappy, I’ll help you vent your anger,” Zhan Cangqiong lifted his hand and gently rubbed the top of Shen Sisi’s head. “No one in this world can make you cry. You just don’t like to hear Shen Hanxing talk, right? Just look…” His voice suddenly turned cold as he said the last two words. Shen Hanxing was nervous, and she subconsciously put her guard up.
Zhan Cangqiong’s face was filled with killing intent. He turned around and pounced on Shen Hanxing with a sharp fruit knife. The tip of the knife glowed with a cold light as he slashed it at Shen Hanxing’s mouth. His eyes were bloodthirsty as he said cruelly, “I’ll make her shut her mouth and never speak again!”
The resting area had a unique structure. The vines were wrapped around an iron wire designed to be a giant birdcage, creating a semi-enclosed space with only one exit. The space inside was limited, and Zhan Cangqiong blocked the exit. Shen Hanxing took a step back and pressed her body against the edge of the cage. She could feel the slight coolness of the vines on her exposed skin.
“No, I can’t dodge the fruit knife at this distance!” Shen Hanxing’s gaze turned cold, and she quickly squatted down as she thought.
Screech! With an ear-piercing sound, the fruit knife directly cut through the iron wire. The vines wrapped around it were cut off and fell onto Shen Hanxing’s hair. Shen Hanxing felt a chill run down her spine.
