The black sedan, like a nimble shadow, quietly drove into the painting of the night.

Nestled in Li Jinchen's arms, Su Mengyan felt utterly powerless after experiencing this farce.

When she saw Shen Tiantian's heinous act, she felt a chill run down her spine.

I don't understand how Shen Tiantian could be so heartless as to harm those innocent people whom the charity helps. All of this makes her feel very depressed, so depressed that she can hardly breathe.

She once tried to understand and explore the inner logic of those who committed evil.

But in the end, I still couldn't understand the fun they got from doing it.

She discovered that those who committed evil seemed to have no reasonable justification.

Their malice is like an innate tumor, growing rampantly in the depths of their hearts, devouring all kindness and warmth.

The twisted mentality of enjoying the pleasure of hurting others and taking the pain of others as a source of entertainment made Su Mengyan feel a chill down her spine.

Li Jinchen stayed by her side silently the whole time. Even though he sensed Su Mengyan's loneliness, he didn't disturb her while she was processing her emotions.

It wasn't until the car stopped in front of the Su family's old house that Su Mengyan suddenly snapped out of her daze and pulled herself out of that feeling of dejection and helplessness.

However, the moment they stepped out of the car, the two noticed something was wrong.

A dark figure darted out of the darkness like a ghost.

Su Mengyan only felt a flash of cold light before her eyes, and before she could react, she heard Li Jinchen roar angrily:

"careful!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinchen pulled her sharply, and she fell into his arms.

A pungent odor hit them in the face, and Su Mengyan's eyes widened as she saw a bottle filled with an unknown liquid arc through the air and crash down hard towards where they had been standing.

With a loud crash, the bottle shattered on the ground, splattering the yellow liquid everywhere. Under the streetlights, the liquid crackled and popped, while also flashing with an eerie light.

Su Mengyan's heart suddenly raced, as if it were about to burst out of her chest, and a flame of anger instantly ignited in her eyes.

She turned to look in the direction the bottle had been thrown and rushed towards the dark figure.

The attacker clearly hadn't expected Su Mengyan to react so quickly. She paused for a moment, then turned to run away.

But Su Mengyan wouldn't give her that chance. She rushed forward and kicked her in the leg.

The woman stumbled and fell to her knees in front of her.

Her long hair was loose, obscuring her face.

Su Mengyan grabbed the person in front of her by the hair, dragged them to a spot illuminated by the car lights, and forcefully pulled them to look her in the eye.

Finally, they saw the perpetrator's face clearly; it was Xia Lin, who had been dismissed by Du Wenxuan.

She looked utterly disheveled, as if she had been through something terrible; her eyes were filled with madness and despair.

Perhaps seeing that things had fallen apart and escape was hopeless, Xia Lin pulled out a dagger from somewhere and swung it at Su Mengyan, shouting frantically:

"None of you will get away with this! I'll make you all pay the price!"

Su Mengyan released her grip on Xia Lin's hair, nimbly dodging her attack, and then seized the opportunity when Xia Lin brandished her dagger to grab her wrist.

With a sharp twist, the dagger in his hand clattered to the ground.

Enraged once again by Xia Lin's outburst, Su Mengyan ignored her cries of pain and dragged her aside, throwing her violently to the ground.

The moment her cheek hit the ground, Charlene let out a blood-curdling scream.

The foam on the ground was like a swarm of hungry demons, frantically eroding her face, making a sizzling sound—the sound of skin being corroded, as if death were whispering in her ear.

Her whole body trembled uncontrollably from the extreme pain. Her hands instinctively reached out to cover her injured face, but as soon as they touched the areas corroded by the sulfuric acid, an even stronger pain shot through her, forcing her to pull her hands back.

Li Jinchen clasped his hands tightly at his sides, trying hard to control the urge to understand the person in front of him.

Even though he knew Su Mengyan was highly skilled, he still felt a chill when the bottle containing sulfuric acid was thrown at them.

I can't even imagine what the consequences would have been if that blow had actually hit Su Mengyan.

Chen Lei stood silently to the side, watching this farce of violence beating violence.

After seeing that the perpetrator had received his just deserts, I finally felt relieved and rushed to the security office to grab the riot control fork and the water hose for watering the plants.

He returned to his original spot and admired the woman's writhing on the ground for a while longer. Only after the hissing foam had completely disappeared did he turn around and signal to the security guard.

Under immense water pressure, water gushed from the pipes and poured over Charlene, causing her already faint cries to return.

Li Jinchen and Su Mengyan stood there in the moonlight, looking at everything before them with blank expressions.

After an unknown amount of time, the water flow finally stopped.

At this moment, Charlene was tortured to the point of being lifeless, and could only lie on the ground, letting the excruciating pain spread through her body.

Her mouth was wide open, trying to let out more screams, but the sulfuric acid also poured into her mouth.

The pungent smell and strong corrosiveness made her feel suffocated; her tongue was burned, and her speech became slurred, only able to make painful "ooh-ooh" sounds.

Her lips were charred black from the sulfuric acid and swollen, looking like two burnt buns.

His eyes were empty and lost, as if he had lost all his soul.

Tears streamed down her face from her eyes, which were ravaged by sulfuric acid, mingling with the blood and pus on her face to form streaks of black blood.

The ambulance was parked to the side, and the medical staff stood by, but they did not make any move to help.

Only after the entire Xia family had arrived did Li Jinchen wave to indicate that they could leave.

Even though Xia's father and eldest brother wanted to say something more, they held back their impulse after seeing Xia Lin's miserable state, fearing that they would be the next ones lying there.

Xia's mother was completely disoriented. She had never seen such a horrifying scene before, and even though the person on the ground was her own daughter, it still disgusted her.

I felt my stomach churning and couldn't bear it any longer, so I finally vomited. Even though my eyes were bloodshot from vomiting, the disgust in them was still undeniable.

The second sister of the Xia family didn't even make a move to step forward. Ever since she got off the bus here, she had been standing still, not even giving her younger sister on the ground a pitying glance.

Even now, what is there not to understand? The Xia family appears harmonious on the surface, but deep down they are all selfish and self-serving.

In their current situation, all they can think about is whether Xia Lin's experience will appease the Su family and make them stop targeting their businesses.
