Qiao Lian thought that was going to be the end of her.
Confusion filled her mind in this instant, as she came face to face with death.
She felt at once that her life had been a joke.
She had met her first love at the age of 18. Then she had doubted love because of a missed appointment with Zi Chuan, and had never fallen in love again since.
After overcoming great adversities, they were finally together again, but had somehow come to this ending because of Soul Fighter.
She also suddenly felt that her decision to leave Shen Liangchuan because of Soul Fighter had been ridiculous.
If she had known that her life was going to end here and now, she would have stayed even if he had felt completely ill. At least they would have had this time of being together.
And now, if she died, Shen Liangchuan’s conundrum would come to an end.
At this thought, she suddenly felt a great sense of relief.
The only thing left that worried her was this child inside her…
Her eyes reddened at once.
Just as she thought that the car was going to ram right into her, it pulled to a hard stop a hair’s breadth away!
Following this, its door swung open.
She saw a tall, almost demonic figure step out of the vehicle.
Framed by the light source behind him, he walked towards her, a step at a time, until he was right before her.
Then he bent over, reached out to touch her face and asked, “Qiao Lian, where are you going? To look for Shen Liangchuan?”
Qiao Lian gulped nervously as her eyes met the man before her. After a pause, she started, “Second Brother—”
Lu Nanze laughed icily and continued, “Qiao Lian, it’s time for you to come home.”
“But before you do so, I’ll have to take you somewhere.”
When he said this, he extended his arms and lifted Qiao Lian from the wheelchair. “We’ll have to get rid of what shouldn’t be there.”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank back at those words. She looked at the man anxiously and said, “Second Brother, what are you doing? Where are you taking me?”
“Let me go!”
“Second Brother, please, I beg of you!”
But those pleas fell on deaf ears.
Lu Nanze placed her in the car and drove away.
The car drove out of the underground parking.
It was useless pleading with him now.
She had to think of a way to save herself.
She was sure now that it had been Second Brother who had incited Qiao Yiyi to kill her child.
She clenched her fists tightly and said, “Second Brother, if Shen Liangchuan knows I’m missing, he will look for me for sure! And if I can’t be found, the only possibility would be that you’ve kidnapped me. Second Brother, I’m still Shen Liangchuan’s legal wife now. If he calls the police, you’ll—”
Before she could finish, the man reached out to stroke her head. He reassured her, “Don’t worry. How could you possibly go missing? Obviously, you’ve… gone back to Suzhou by yourself.”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank back at once. “What- what do you mean by that?”
Lu Nanze threw her a glance. He gave a chilling smile and did not reply.
As though she had suddenly realized something, she said, “The junior assistant is someone you’ve planted?”
Lu Nanze looked towards her and remarked, “A staff chosen by the company… What do you think?”
Her limbs turned icy.
In the hotel.
The junior assistant entered the hotel room and started to pack Qiao Lian’s belongings.
After checking that nothing had been left behind, she picked up her cell phone and sent a message to Shen Liangchuan:
[I’m returning to Suzhou, don’t look for me. Please sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible.]
