Shen Ruojing’s face changed. “You’re really despicable.”
Song Chen continued to smile. “Thank you for the compliment.”
Shen Ruojing.”...”
This guy straightforwardly disclosed his own plan, which put Shen Ruojing in a difficult situation.
(What to do now?)
(Rong Rong’s wedding is tomorrow, time is pressing.)
(But how could Dr. Xu possibly feel at ease marrying Rong Rong if his parents aren’t back?)
Shen Ruojing frowned and scoffed, “Song Chen, since your plan is already exposed, do you think that this wedding can still happen tomorrow? Let me tell you, 1 won’t hand over my father’s patent to you! Even when the Doom Organization held me hostage years ago, they couldn’t make my father submit. Do you think holding the parents of Dr. Xu hostage could make us submit now?”
Song Chen seemed to be moved by her words. He then fell silent and said, “Actually, that makes sense. Even if I threatened you with Rong Rong, you probably wouldn’t give up the patent, would you?”
Shen Ruojing certainly wouldn’t.
She had personally experienced the terror of No. 5 Neurotoxin. So, this kind of patent that endangered human life could never be handed out under any circumstances.
She lowered her gaze. “I can tell you this. Even if you threaten me with Xiaomeng’s life, it’s useless. You can’t get that patent.”
After she said this, Song Chen was silent for a long time.
Seeing him not speaking, Shen Ruojing thought that there was hope, so she said a few more words, “Dr. Xu and Rong Rong have finally seen the rainbow after the storm. Moreover, when Rong Rong was randomly taken away by you guys, it was also to provoke me... Rong Rong is innocent, she has been a victim throughout the entire incident...”
But Song Chen just sneered, “So what? That’s her fate! Besides, she was kidnapped by human traffickers into the mountains before being exploited by the Doom Organization. If the Doom Organization didn’t use her to scheme against you, I’m afraid she might have had several children in some remote corner by now!”
Shen Ruojing.”...”
She didn’t know what to say for a moment. It was really not her forte to talk to someone as mentally twisted as Song Chen.
Just when she was torn, her phone was suddenly snatched away.
Shen Ruojing turned her head and saw that Chu Cichen had taken her phone. The man’s face was cold. But after Shen Ruojing looked over, he gave her a reassuring look.
Chu Cichen then said, “Song Chen, your plan has actually failed.”
Song Chen scoffed, “1 don’t want to talk to you, give the phone back to Shen Ruojing.”
“...” Chu Cichen was choked by the childish words, but he still spoke, “Actually, whether you use Dr. Xu to threaten us with Rong Rong or whatever, that patent can’t be given to you. You know this very well, so why bother struggling in vain?”
Song Chen sarcastically replied, “I’ve kidnapped Dr. Xu’s parents, preventing him from being with Rong Rong whom he loves. Anyway, this makes you uncomfortable, doesn’t it? As long as you’re uncomfortable, isn’t that a win for me?”
Chu Cichen chuckled softly, “You’re not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands, nor are you capricious. You would consider the whole picture. And after all, Dr. Xu was once your subordinate. You wouldn’t be so cruel to him...”
Song Chen sneered, “Don’t make it sound like I’m a good person.”
“You are.” Chu Cichen replied resolutely, “At least, you have a bottom line. I am the person who knows you best in this world, am I not?”
Song Chen was taken aback.
Chu Cichen continued, “We can make a bet. Even if the wedding is canceled, and Dr. Xu doesn’t return to country Y, you won’t really harm his parents! Because by that time, his parents would just be a risky move for you.”
Song Chen’s voice was very cold. “How can it be? Do you think I’m a fool? If Dr. Xu doesn’t do as I say, I will let his parents’ bodies rot in the street!”
“We both know that you won’t do that.” Chu Cichen’s voice was slow and seductive.
Shen Ruojing couldn’t help but look at him.
A person’s experience shaped their character.
When Song Chen was first created, he must have been just like Chu Cichen, but his experience six years ago led him down a dark path.
Suddenly, Shen Ruojing got up and walked to Chu Cichen’s side. She spoke into the phone, “Song Chen, Rong Rong is pregnant.”
The voice on the other end paused.
Then, Song Chen’s sharp voice sounded. “So what if she’s pregnant? At worst, it’s two lives for one! Shen Ruojing, don’t try to bind me with morality here! The thing I value least is morality! I have no heart!”
“You do.” Shen Ruojing slowly said, “Back in the day when we were in the country, you were with me. I was often in a bad mood, constantly blaming myself for the situation with the No. 5 Neurotoxin. You once said something to me, do you remember?”
Song Chen was startled, his tone softened. “So you remember... Which sentence are you talking about?”
“You said, even if one is in the abyss, their heart should still face toward the light..”
