Chapter 595 Every Revelation (15)



"Yahui!"

Zhan Kai-Ming broke down as she saw her daughter being treated in a ward. After the short confrontation with Jian, the stress caused Zhan Yahui to collapse once again. She gasped with shaky breaths, weakly holding onto the door as she looked through the small round window.

"Yahui…"

She felt footsteps stopping behind her, and she slowly turned, freezing as soon as she saw Xuan Hui. The guard dressed in black before her intimidated her already afraid self.

"Miss. Zhan. Boss wants to talk to you."

Zhan Kai-Ming turned pale. It didn't take rocket science to tell that the guard standing before belonged to the underworld. "M-My…daughter…"

"Please come with me. Boss wants to talk to you. Your daughter is under treatment for now. Until then, Boss wants to talk to you."

Zhan Kai-Ming had no choice but to quietly follow him. In a separate, private area of the hospital, she entered a dimly lit room with the leader of the Underworld waiting for her. She felt a lack of oxygen in the air as she struggled to breathe. For some reason, she lowered her head.

"Do you know why your daughter and my son are in the condition they are right now?" A chilly and unforgiving voice reverberated in the room. "Your lover is dead and I think you are made aware as to why that is so."

She trembled and pressed her lips.

"I don't want to believe that it's your fault but if you had left him already instead of letting him exploit you, then my son wouldn't have had to suffer so much. I believe you perhaps knew from some months ago that he was misusing your money to pay his debt."

Tears fell from her eyes and her lips quivered. "...It wasn't easy," she spoke feebly.

Jinhai's black eyes narrowed. "It is never easy. But ultimately, we have to decide and if you had, neither of our children would have been in this state. Your daughter was almost sold by the man you were supposed to marry."

She said nothing.

He understood it well that Zhan Kai-Ming was a victim of Ouyang Haitao's betrayal herself, but he couldn't hold back the bitterness in his voice. Jun was traumatized and had almost lost his life, and it wouldn't have happened if Zhan Kai-Ming had severed her relationship with Ouyang Haitao when she had the time.

Zhan Kai-Ming breathlessly inhaled. "I-I will t-try my best and…pay all his loans…"

"There is no need. I don't want the money."

That genuinely took her aback. She thought that she was summoned only to be the next in line to start coughing out money for Ouyang Haitao's debt.

"But it is hard to let you go free either," Jinhai said, "especially since your daughter thinks that my son is her father's murderer."

She froze.

"You won't be forced to pay the money, but letting you and daughter live is not a viable option for me either."

"W-what…?" she could feel her heart jump in her throat. "You want to…kill us too?"

His expression hardened. "Too? I don't want to, but your dead lover didn't leave me with many options. Do you know what is the most frustrating thing whenever such incidents happen?"

It was a rhetorical question, but Zhan Kai-Ming could guess where this was going.

"The family that is left behind becomes a pain in the ass. Your daughter is way too invested and emotionally attached to get her complete family, which I also understand since you don't live with her biological father whoever he might be. It's normal to want a good family. But it also becomes a problem when somebody important for that family to come to be, is dead. I know one thing for sure. Zhan Yahui, in her own world of misunderstandings, will never forgive Jun. And if she never forgives him, she will forever chase after him for revenge."

Jinhai tilted his head. "So before a cycle of revenge is born, I will kill it with my own hands."

Zhan Kai-Ming collapsed on her knees. "No…please don't! I beg you…I beg you, Mr. Liu. Please, please let us go. I will talk to Yahui and we will move out of Beijing!" She hastily clutched onto any straws that would help her change Jinhai's mind. "We-we will never set our foot here again! I will a-also explain everything to her. The truth…"

"It's no use convincing me. I have worked for long enough to know that the thirst for revenge never dies. This happened when she is at such an impressionable age. She won't let this go."

"She will! I will talk to her. I-I will tell her that your son is not at fault. Instead he was the victim too! She will definitely understand…So please…I will take Yahui and l-leave this city forever," she cried hard, "What you fear will never happen."

"She loves Ouyang Haitao too much to be able to understand what exactly happened. I cannot let you two live," Jinhai declared like an ultimatum.

"Please…" Zhan Kai-Ming shook hard with her tears wetting the floor, "It's…it's not o-only because of Yahui that I am asking you for m-mercy…"

"So?"

"I am pregnant."

Jinhai said nothing.

"That's also why…it was hard to leave Haitao. Once again…I couldn't snatch my unborn child's father once again," she bit her lip. "If I had left him, then not one but…two of my children would have become fatherless."

Zhan Kai-Ming raised her head, her eyes looking tired and defeated. She touched her belly and said with a broken voice, "I don't w-want my child to die…He isn't even born. He hasn't even seen this world…I want to give birth to him. I want to raise him just like I love Yahui. I…want to be a good mother to both of my children," she gasped. "Please…don't kill us. I promise that I or any of my children will ever cross paths with the Liu family. I promise that we won't ever become your enemies."
