Half a month later, Su Wanbai suddenly discovered that the number of black spots on her body was decreasing, and the smell was also becoming fainter and fainter.

Although she didn't know what the principle of this medicine was, since it was Andy who gave it to his, it definitely did not contain any harmful substances. Maybe Andy had always been looking for an opportunity to save her, but in this period of time, although Murong Aotian was getting busier, he never let his guard down. The security around the villa was getting tighter and tighter, almost to the point of being armed to the teeth. He found a bunch of police dogs out of nowhere, sniffing around the neighborhood twenty-four hours a day.

Andy had not left this entire time. He had thought that he would be able to think of a way to save his elder sister within half a month. He never thought that Murong Aotian would actually think of a way to find a police dog. The rescue had been delayed, and based on the days that had passed, the stench on her sister's body should be almost gone.

Mo Xinran would call her almost every day, urging her to save her daughter.

Andy was anxious and restless, he did not have the mind to take care of the matters in the gang. A few of his men wanted to rebel, but fortunately, he had received the news beforehand and had rushed back to Vancouver to settle the matter. Seeing his son's haggard appearance, Mo Xinran's heart ached so much that tears streamed down.

Andy had always been busy taking care of his mother. He thought that once his mother's illness healed, he would immediately rush back to S City. Even if he was going to risk his life to forcefully attack, he would definitely save his sister. How could he sit back and do nothing when his sister was with that kind of demon every day?

On the other side, Su Wanbai was also racking her brains to escape, but she couldn't find the slightest chance.

That night she sat in her bedroom and painted. Halfway through the painting, she felt that her inspiration had dried up, and in a fit of rage, she burned all her tools.

Her long depression and helplessness had exhausted all of her patience. She was about to go crazy!

Her eyes inadvertently fell on the fruit knife on the table. The white light was dazzling and brilliant.

The stench on his body was about to disappear, and Murong Aotian would notice it sooner or later. Then, was the nightmare about to begin again? Fear, despair, resentment, and the feeling of all sorts of emotions seized her. Her father's benevolent smile appeared more and more frequently in her dreams, and she wondered if he was too lonely to ask his daughter to accompany him. However, his father's last words were still ringing in his ears. He clearly wanted his daughter to live on. Two diametrically opposed minds were constantly at loggerheads in her mind. The seemingly still days were usually tilting this way and that, and she was constantly in a state of anxiety and restlessness.

The door was locked from the inside when the servant who had heard the commotion rushed over. No matter how hard he knocked, he could not knock on the door.

The steward, a middle-aged man, kicked open the door in a moment of desperation.

In her line of sight, Su Wanbai was lying on the bed with a smile. She was wearing a white dress, and she was quietly hiding on the ground like a holy angel. On her snow-white wrist, a flash of bright red like a blooming rose had turned into a big flower.

Faintly conscious, she seemed to hear her father's hearty laughter. She tried to run toward the voice. She wanted to shout at him that she missed him, that she wanted to be with him …

In the VIP ward of the Central Hospital, Murong Aotian was sitting in front of Su Wanbai's bed like a sculpture.

Would she rather die than stay with him?

Murong Aotian was still stuck on this problem, unable to extricate himself.

Su Wanbai hadn't been eating very well lately, and the number of people talking was becoming fewer and fewer. He thought she was just in a bad mood, but she was gradually sinking into depression. Depression? It was similar to the state his mother had been in all those years ago. At that time, he watched his mother become depressed day by day until she died. Would he see the same tragedy happen again in twenty years? When he thought of this, he felt a chill run down his spine. When she woke up, he would find the best therapist she could find to cure her. Until then, he would never touch her again. She hated him, but he kept asking for her until he turned her into a numb, mummified corpse.

For the first time in so many years, Murong Aotian was reflecting on himself.

How arrogant and conceited he used to be. It was as though everyone in the world owed him. Everything he said and did was right. He looked down on everyone and didn't need to care about what others thought of him. But she was his doom. In front of her, he thought he was as low as a speck of dust. But she always hated him to the bone. Her dream, perhaps, was to eat his flesh and drink her blood.

A wry smile formed at the corner of Murong Aotian's mouth. He had said before that if there came a day where he had to die, he would rather die in her hands. In that life, he would no longer have any regrets.

Su Wanbai's long eyelashes moved slightly, and she finally opened her eyes slowly.

Dark memories came back little by little.

Wasn't she dead? Why was he lying in the hospital? She clenched her fists so hard that her long nails dug into her flesh. Indeed, she was not dead. Why not let her die? She didn't want to live like this anymore. Since she couldn't escape the Demon Claw, then wouldn't that mean she didn't even have the chance to kill herself? Why? Why?

When Su Wanbai saw Murong Aotian, she actually raised her head and laughed loudly. Her voice was hoarse and hollow, echoing for a long time through the spacious ward. She would rather go to hell than stay with this devil. No, he was the one who deserved to go to hell, he had imprisoned her freedom, trampled over her body and soul, he was guilty, he deserved to die!

Su Wanbai stared with her red eyes, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Murong Aotian's neck.

"Die together, perish together!" Su Wanbai sneered and growled.

Murong Aotian had never seen her with such a desolate and cold expression, and he was shocked in his heart. After being stunned for a few seconds, he easily opened Su Wanbai's fingers and held them in his own hands.

"If I don't die, you won't either. We are destined to torture each other for the rest of our lives." Murong Aotian had originally said a few words of consolation, but who would have thought that his words would completely change his appearance?

Yes, the tyrant has been playing the role for too long, and it's not like he wants to play the role of a good man. Besides, he wasn't a good man at all. All these years, his dark side had been exposed without a doubt. He had thought that life, like stagnant water, would go on forever. But she had appeared, disturbed his heart, and then wanted to leave. How is this possible? He would never let her go. He was going to imprison her. Only then would they be together for a long time.

"Torture each other? It's obviously you who's torturing me! " Su Wanbai lowered her head and said woodenly.

"There has never been a woman that worried me so much!" Murong Aotian said.

"Is that so? "You're lying again," Su Wanbai said with a sad smile. "You have a first love, what would she think if you said that?"

Murong Aotian was actually at a loss for words.

Yes, he indeed had a first love. Her name was Jin Mengyao, she was the young miss of Jin Family. But at that time, they were so young, so young, they didn't know how to love each other. They just liked each other, but if she was still alive, their love for each other would surely escalate into love. But it was too late. Everything was too late. No matter how much regret and heartache he had, he could not help but grind and wash away the years.

All he had left for her was nostalgia and reminiscence.

But Su Wanbai was different, she broke into his heart just like that.

All of his pride and ruthlessness, in her eyes, was not even worth mentioning. She had always insisted on herself, never giving in. In front of her, he had turned into a comical clown. He should have hated her, but when he saw her, all his anger was gone.

She had angered him time and time again, and he was getting used to it. It was a terrible habit at first, but then he realized that it was a wonderful feeling, an indescribable feeling.

"Next week, Jin’s Group will have an anniversary dinner. Come with me." Murong Aotian changed the topic.

Su Wanbai turned her head away in disgust, not looking at him.

She had always thought he wouldn't take her into the sun. In fact, she didn't care. She was used to living in the dark, and she was riddled with scars. She was no longer fit to stand in the sun. Moreover, Jin’s Group would make her easily think of Jin Yichen, that sunny youth. She had let him down, his love for her was so pure, and she had misunderstood him time and time again. By the time he had forgotten that he wanted to start again, she was no longer fit to stand beside him.

"No!" Su Wanbai said lightly.

The corner of Murong Aotian's mouth curled into a faint smile. He had never been to the Jin’s royal ball before. But this time, he wanted to bring Su Wanbai along. Since she and Jin Yichen had already broken up, he no longer had to worry about anything. Thinking about the scene of Jin Yichen kissing his woman at the airport, his heart ached uncontrollably. Since Jin Yichen still loved her, he should use this opportunity to prove to him that Su Wanbai was her woman!

He had promised Jin Family that he would not get married and give birth to children unless he was in a relationship. Although Jin Yichen had some understanding about this promise, he would definitely not be so bored as to complain to Old Master Jin. Furthermore, Young Master Jin had been managing businesses overseas for so many years, he was not in China, so there was no reason to criticize him. As for the Old Master Jin, he had been in a state of retirement recently and had been fiddling with flowers, birds and fishes at home the entire time. Naturally, he did not have the opportunity to cause trouble for him.

But he never would have thought that going this time, was simply giving Su Wanbai the chance to escape on her own accord.

It was because she almost committed suicide, so even the Young Master Murong, who was always rational, panicked a little. All of her meticulous plans and arrangements were temporarily put aside. Was he too confident, or was fate toying with him, leaving him with no power to stop it?
