Ye Jinghuai held An Nuan and also walked towards the warehouse door.

From beginning to end.

Ye Jinghuai's eyes were not on Tong Zhitong for even a second.

No surprise.

It seemed he had expected it long ago - everything was Tong Zhitong's doing.

Nor was there any cruel revenge against her.

It was as if he had truly verified what Tong Zhitong had told her:

She had said, Ye Jinghuai would not kill her.

An Nuan's hands were wrapped tightly around Ye Jinghuai's neck.

She didn't want to investigate further either.

After all, whatever had happened between Ye Jinghuai and Tong Zhitong, whatever promises they had made to each other - that was between them. She had no right or qualification to interfere.

That he could save her from danger at this moment was already more than she could ask for.

She would not make further demands.

What mattered was that she also did not want Ye Jinghuai to be stained by too much blood.

Ye Jinghuai, holding An Nuan, suddenly halted in his steps.

Behind him came Tong Zhitong's hysterical screams: "Ye Jinghuai! For the sake of An Nuan, you would go to such lengths with me?"

An Nuan was startled.

She didn't quite understand Tong Zhitong's meaning.

When she turned back she saw many men walking towards Tong Zhitong.

This scene...

Even if nothing had yet happened, An Nuan could guess what Ye Jinghuai intended to do to Tong Zhitong.

There was no denying it.

Compared to killing Tong Zhitong, letting Tong Zhitong suffer gang rape was worse than death for her.

"Ye Jinghuai, you might as well just kill me!" Tong Zhitong looked at Ye Jinghuai's tall back with bloodshot eyes as he held An Nuan tightly and tenderly in his embrace.

She had thought Ye Jinghuai would dedicate his very life and human rights to his mission, but never expected that for the sake of An Nuan he would abandon it all.

Was he still deceiving himself about not loving her?

Her tears streamed down uncontrollably. "Kill me, let me die, so I'll never have to feel heartache for you again! I'll never have to endure your indifference again. You don't know how much pain I've endured over the years, how much my heart has hurt for you!"

She was like a shell that had lost all spark and vitality, nothing left but a thoughtless husk.

"Said your piece?" Ye Jinghuai's icy demeanor was terrifying.

Tong Zhitong's tears continued streaming down.

Right then she truly couldn't utter another word.

So that was how things stood after all.

She really had been building castles in the air all this time.

She really had been too full of herself.

The arrogance, the smug satisfaction, the slight sense of superiority she'd felt for being special to Ye Jinghuai - in this moment all of it had shattered.

She laughed through her tears.

She said, "Ye Jinghuai, so heartless as you are, do you really not fear going to hell?"

Truly not afraid

of one day being punished by God?

"That's my business and none of yours." Ye Jinghuai's chill was unrelenting.

It could leave a woman who loved him torn open and in pieces.

Through vision blurred by tears, Tong Zhitong watched Ye Jinghuai's retreating figure carrying An Nuan away, looking so cold and merciless.

She yelled at his back: "Ye Jinghuai! A bloody, terrifying man like you will surely one day be abandoned by women as well - abandoned just as you've abandoned me!"

Holding An Nuan, Ye Jinghuai halted in his tracks.

In that moment An Nuan saw his Adam's apple bob up and down.

Clearly, he was somewhat emotionally affected.

"Ye Jinghuai, An Nuan doesn't love you at all!" Tong Zhitong shouted from behind them.

An Nuan's heart missed a beat.

She reflexively held Ye Jinghuai's neck tighter.

She bit hard into her lip.

Right then she truly did not know how to explain.

How to explain

that her survival up till now had indeed been purchased at the cost of her own innocence.

Even if

her innocence remained intact.
