Four years later.
On their way back to the villa, Chu Yu glanced at Luo Chejue, who was resting with his eyes closed every few seconds. In the past few years, his facial features had become even more chiseled.
“What are you trying to say?”
Chu Yu was speechless. What else could he say? Four years ago, he knew that Luo Chejue must have been out of his mind to set himself against the Yans when the public opinion was extremely unfavorable. Who would have thought that he would risk everything just for an urn of ashes?
Her headstone was set up that day, bearing the surname of Luo, but Yan Shaoxuan would not hand over her ashes no matter what.
In the end, Luo Chejue won. The Yans’ vitality was badly impaired in their business war. Yan Shaoxuan, with bloodshot eyes, unwillingly handed over the ashes with his own hands. He then went abroad in search for chances of development for their group overseas, and had never returned.
Chu Yu thought that it was over. But Luo Chejue suddenly turned against Xia’s Enterprise, and had almost brought about the downfall of this world-class enterprise. However, it took long enough for Luo Chejue to launch his final attack, leaving the destiny of Xia’s Enterprise in suspense for four years. What’s more, he had been keeping Xia Mo in the villa all this time. How could he have kept the daughter and been messing with the father-in-law’s company at the same time? Was he out of his mind?
But he had no courage to say it to his face.
“It won’t be long for Xia Mo.” Chu Yu rubbed his nose at the thought of Luo Chejue’s deeds in recent years, which sent shivers down his spine.
Luo Chejue sneered at his words.
Hearing the slam of the door, Xia Mo shivered with a start, as if she’d heard something dreadful, looking like she was seized with panic.
As soon as the door was pushed open, she abruptly dashed forward, but ran into someone instead before she was knocked over violently, with her bones pressed against each other, making a crisp sound and her face twisted with pain.
“What? Trying to escape? ”
A cold voice rang. Regardless of the pain, Xia Mo crawled directly to the feet of Luo Chejue: “Jue, please! I know I’m wrong. Please, just allow me to commit suicide. I promise I will!”
She didn’t want to go through that kind of pain anymore. Four years, she’d had enough!
Luo Chejue was untouched, and his tone was emotionless: “do it!”
Several people in doctors’ overalls had long been used to what was going on, so they held Xia Mo down expressionlessly, starting to do what they had been doing on the same day every month.
Once her sleeve was pulled up, Xia Mo’s dry, thin and pale arm was exposed. She let out a scream at the sight of the needle and the blood bag before struggling desperately: “ah– let me go, please don’t drain my blood! ”
Her resistance was totally useless, for she couldn’t move at all!
Xia Mo could no longer feel the needle when it was inserted in her vessel. On the 20th of every month, she had to suffer the loss of 20 bags of blood, and it had been going on like this for four years!
Four years ago, the day when she set Xia Weiwei up and almost brought about her death was exactly the 20th!
For the past four years, this day of every month had been her nightmare. Luo Chejue ordered his men to take 20 bags of blood from her on this day, and force her to see her blood being poured into the toilet with her own eyes!
That was not enough. Xia Mo had been locked up for four years! In addition to the torture of giving blood regularly every month, her diet was only a few tubes of pitiful nutrient supplements, which was only enough to keep her alive.
Anyone who saw her would not be able to connect her with the younger daughter of the Xias, who was once gorgeous. Her hair had withered and been falling out due to the lack of nutrition; her skin had come loose and roughened; and her eyes had been having problems for the reason that she had not seen the sun for a long time; and her whole body was like a dry and withered corpse.
Four years ago, she fell to the bottom because of the public opinion, but the news of Xia Weiwei’s death made her jump for joy. When Luo Chejue took her to the villa, she thought she’d finally won, without the faintest idea that what was awaiting her was endless torture!
“I’ve had enough! Jue! I love you! Why are you doing this to me? Is it because of Xia Weiwei?”
