Announced divorce, madly criticized Ling Shaochang for kneeling down

Compared to the luxury and splendor of Ling Palace Castle, the basement is in stark contrast and is dark. Apart from a large door that is locked from the outside, there is not a single window or a single inch of space, and not a single ray of light can get in.

In the huge basement, there was only a bed and a bathroom, nothing else.

If an ordinary person is locked up in a basement for a day and a night, they will lose the ability to distinguish between day and night. If they are locked up for three days, they will suffer from neurasthenia. If they are locked up for three months, most people will become mentally ill.

The person locked up in the basement at this time had been locked up in this dark space for countless days and nights, and even she herself could not remember how long it had been.

Time seemed so long that it seemed like more than ten years had passed, yet it repeated day and night as if only one day had passed.

The door lock outside the gate rang. The woman, covered in stains, was sitting on the cold, hard bed. She didn't turn around when she heard the sound.

She heard the sound of the door lock ringing several times every day. At first, she always thought that the person was letting her out, but the person only passed her simple meals through the gap in the door chain to ensure that she would not starve to death.

Time passed little by little, and she could only guess how many days had passed by relying on the sound of food being delivered.

Her expectation of being released gradually faded, and later she stopped counting the time for meal delivery and instead begged the person who delivered the meals to tell their boss that she wanted to see him.

However, servants are servants. They only carry out their tasks and do not pay attention to her needs.

She had shouted until her voice was hoarse, and she kept shouting the five words "I want to see Ling Che", but her hoarse voice could never be heard in this soundproof basement.

She knew that the man would not meet him, and that saving her life was already the greatest gift he could give her.

But she doesn't need such a gift at all.

The door lock was opened, and the door chain pulled the door open to a gap the size of a palm. The person who opened the door did not hand in the meal as usual.

As the door opened, a foul stench emanated. The person standing outside covered their mouth and nose in disgust and shouted impatiently at the disheveled woman inside, "Come out! President Ling wants to see you!"

The woman in the room didn't move, as if she hadn't heard anything.

The man at the door was getting impatient. Mr. Ling wanted to see her and couldn't delay for too long. This woman just sat there half-dead every day and ignored him, so he had to open the door chain and go in.

"Hey! Mr. Ling wants to see you, come out!"

His voice rose considerably, echoing in the empty basement.

At this time, the disheveled woman turned her head hesitantly, her lifeless eyes filled with confusion.

The woman was skinny, with sunken eyes and disheveled hair. In the light from the open door, she looked like a dried corpse, devoid of any life.

The man just felt unlucky and said loudly again, "Don't you keep asking Mr. Ling to let you out? Now Mr. Ling is here, he wants to see you!"

The woman didn't say anything, and it was unclear whether she understood or not.

The man couldn't understand why Ling wouldn't let this woman die when she was trapped here, living a life worse than death. He didn't understand the rich man's game, and his mission at this moment was to get this woman out.

However, when this woman was first imprisoned, the kneecap of one of her legs was broken. She did not receive timely treatment, which caused necrosis of the leg below the knee. She was imprisoned here for more than half a year, and the leg was already disabled. It was impossible for her to walk on her own.

The man had no choice but to suppress his disgust and disdain as he picked her up and placed her on the wheelchair prepared at the door.

Those lifeless eyes had long become cloudy in the darkness, and when they were exposed to the strong light outside again, they were so painful that her tears flowed uncontrollably.

The intense pain brought the person in the wheelchair back to consciousness.

She suddenly remembered the words "Mr. Ling" and pulled the corners of her dry mouth.

He finally came, and she could finally be free...

......

In the huge living room, a man in black was leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking about.

The sound of the wheelchair rolling came from far away until it entered the living room.

"Boss Ling," the visitor said respectfully, "Bai Yiyi is here."

Those deep eyes slowly opened and glanced at the person in the wheelchair.

The woman in front of him was skinny, her skin was as yellow as earth, and her body was covered in stains and dirt. Except for her face, which looked somewhat like before, she no longer had the pure look of the past.

Her eyes were closed, tears streaking her sunken face.

Seeing her appearance, Ling Che didn't seem very surprised. He just curled the corners of his lips slightly without saying anything.

Bai Yiyi's eyes felt so painful that she couldn't open them even a little.

Staying in a dark environment for too long can actually make your hearing and sense of smell more sensitive.

Just by smelling the surrounding atmosphere, she knew that the person was not far in front of her.

She opened her mouth to ask a question, but found that she could no longer make a sound as she had not spoken for a long time.

She clenched her bony fingers tightly, and with all her might she managed to utter an extremely rough and unpleasant voice, "Why won't you let me die!"

During those desperate days in the basement, she tried to end the suffering by fasting, but Ling Che had a hundred ways to prevent her from dying.

He wanted her to live, to live in pain.

"Want to die? That's too easy."

Ling Che looked at her struggling and smiled gently, "You saved my life, I won't let you die."

His tone was nonchalant, and even though she was like this now, Bai Yiyi didn't hear a trace of guilt or heartache for her in his tone.

She spoke with difficulty, her voice harsh and piercing, "The thing I regret most in my life is liking you, Ling Che. If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to Zhuang Ce and my cousin and taken your life!"

If she hadn't liked her, she wouldn't have ended up like this!

Bai Yiyi just fell in love with someone. What crime did she commit to become like this, neither human nor ghost?

"Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now." Ling Che chuckled, lit a cigarette, and threw the lighter on the table, glaring at her. "Your mistake was saving me from that self-directed car accident."

When Bai Yiyi heard this, she was stunned and her whole body stiffened.

But soon, she curled the corners of her mouth as if relieved.

Seeing her expression, Ling Che's smile widened. "It's a pity that you missed that opportunity. You don't have another chance now."

At this point, Bai Yiyi no longer wanted to argue, she just wanted to be relieved.

She chuckled, and it was hard to tell whether it was a mockery or a wry smile, "You still know it. What, are you finally going to kill me now?"

Ling Che was smoking a cigarette. He didn't expect that the truth that she had concealed for several years would be admitted so straightforwardly at this moment.

It was Qiao Ruyi's words that reminded him that the person behind this must be very thoughtful.

It was then that he suddenly remembered that this person was not only meticulous, but also able to put himself in a position where he would not be suspected, and he had cleared himself of suspicion from the very beginning.

However, the price was that I had to lie down for three years before waking up.

But she had enough confidence to know that he would definitely save her.

What a good move.

"Even so, you are my savior. How could I kill you?"

Ling Che blew out smoke rings slowly and steadily, and under the swirling green smoke, there was a strong smile of contempt in his eyes.

"I'll help you. Don't you like being in a wheelchair? You'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

His gaze fell on her black, necrotic calf, then stared at her tightly closed eyes. "If you like pretending to be blind, then stay blind for the rest of your life. Isn't that what you want?"

His laughter sent chills down Bai Yiyi's spine, and she suddenly shouted, "I've lied to you for years. I tried to sow discord between you and Qiao Ruyi. Don't you hate me? Kill me if you dare!"

"It's easy to die, but it's too hard to live." Ling Che laughed, "I want you to live, a difficult life, a life that's like a joke."

Bai Yiyi is now determined to die, so how could he fulfill her wish?

He turned around and ordered, "Throw her out of Ling Palace and to the gate of her former alma mater. Miss Bai's classmates and teachers must miss her very much."

Bai Yiyi's body, so thin that it was almost just a skeleton, kept shaking.

Ling Che smiled as he extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He looked at her trembling body with a sinister smile, "Miss Bai, if you want to die, you'd better choose a good place. There are a lot of stray dogs out there. It would be too embarrassing if you died on the street and had your bones torn apart by stray dogs."
