After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"What do I believe in you? Do I believe you're innocent?"

Shen Yao wanted to break free from men, but in front of Bo Yuxiu, who had been trained at the military academy for many years, she appeared so vulnerable and helpless.

"I...don't want this to happen either."

With bloodshot eyes, Bo Yuxiu pressed the woman beneath him down.

As if worried that the woman might leave.

Looking into the man's bloodshot eyes, and thinking of Old Master Bo's methods, Shen Yao sighed.

"Perhaps it's not entirely your fault. Ash, I'm sorry, I can no longer love someone wholeheartedly like I used to."

"So, you signed the divorce papers?"

The man's voice had begun to grow hoarse.

"Yes, it's my fault."

Shen Yao had to admit that perhaps accepting Bo Yuxiu was simply because this man had given her the love she wanted.

However, when this love faced challenges, she chose to give up.

"Since you're sorry, then repay me."

Bo Yuxiu unbuttoned the woman's shirt.

.......

Throughout the night, Shen Yao couldn't tell whether she was on the sofa, in bed, or at the bathroom sink.

For the first time in her life, she seemed to have chosen to indulge herself.

For some reason, Shen Yao felt that this might be the last time she would be intimate with a man.

At the end, the two embraced tightly.

"Actually, I'm the one who should apologize. I underestimated Grandpa's abilities and overestimated my own strength. I failed to protect our marriage."

Bo Yuxiu rested his chin on Shen Yao's head and murmured softly.

He lowered his head again and gently asked for a kiss.

They watched the sun rise slowly outside the window.

As dawn approached, Bo Yuxiu got up and dressed.

He looked at the sleeping woman and smiled slightly.

He bent down and gently kissed her forehead.

When Shen Yao woke up, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Luckily it was the weekend, otherwise he would have been late.

When she got out of bed, her legs were weak and she almost fell.

When I came to my senses, I remembered what had happened last night.

Shen Yao gently stroked the spot where the man had lain, a wave of melancholy washing over her.

After ordering takeout for lunch, she went back to sleep.

Shen Yao was very busy for the next month.

The company is preparing for an IPO, and the hospital has already completed its interior decoration. The final step is to purchase relevant equipment and remove formaldehyde.

At the end of the year, the company went public and the hospital opened.

Therefore, Shen Yao hardly had time to be sad for Bo Yuxiu for long.

Meanwhile, Gu Tianyou, who had been clinging to her, had stopped bothering Shen Yao for a long time because of the renewed problems in Gu's real estate business.

Shen Yao had a rare month of peace and quiet.

Until she received a text message from Shen Dequan.

"Hmph, if you want your mother to live, send me 5000 million."

There was no title, no beginning.

Shen Yao didn't need to ask who it was.

Because she already had the answer in her heart.

Shen Dequan has been released after serving his sentence.

The familiar sense of fear also came rushing in around this time.

"where do we meet?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow night, don't call the police, or you and your daughter will both die a horrible death."

Looking at the text message from Shen Dequan on her phone, Shen Yao felt a chill run down her spine.

Just when her life was finally getting back on track, this devil came back.

Calling the police could kill her biological mother, Wang Haiya.

Without calling the police, Shen Yao lacked confidence that she could defeat this madman.

After thinking it over, she decided to tell Lu Jiajia about it.

"Yaoyao, please trust the police! You must not go alone!"

"Okay, I'll call the police."

When calling the police, Shen Yao repeatedly emphasized that it should not be done openly or in a way that could be exposed.

The police reassured her that she and her mother would be safe.

The next day.

Shen Yao woke up early.

Whether she was washing up or eating breakfast, she always had her phone with her, afraid of missing any messages from Shen Dequan.

Shen Yao waited all day but didn't receive any message from him.

It wasn't until 5:30 p.m. that Shen Dequan called her.

"Keep walking towards the East District, and tell me when you reach the largest urban village."

"I want to hear her voice."

Shen Yao still can't get used to calling Wang Haiya "Mom".

However, Shen Dequan understood what she was saying.

"You listen to me properly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yao heard a loud slap from her phone.

Then came Wang Haiya's crying.

Shen Yao clenched her teeth, "You are not allowed to hurt her!"

Shen Dequan gave a cold laugh, "Sure, as long as you give me 5000 million."

Shen Dequan didn't even ask for the 5000 million yuan to be transferred.

Instead, he had Shen Yao withdraw cash.

Therefore, Shen Yao must take the 5000 million yuan in cash to the location designated by Shen Dequan.

Shen Dequan is very cunning.

The meeting place was changed several times.

The police had to keep changing their operation plan because of his change of heart.

After much effort, Shen Dequan finally told Shen Yao the final location at 11 p.m.

It turned out to be a fishing village in the suburbs.

This fishing village has a complicated transportation system, and even locals often get lost.

Shen Yao drove to the seaside of the fishing village, only to find that there were many boats with red flags tied to them.

She was very anxious to find the boat that Shen Dequan had specified.

Police officers disguised themselves as fishermen and entered.

However, in order not to be discovered, they couldn't get too close to Shen Yao.

In the darkness, Shen Yao walked briskly.

When they reached the middle of the coastline, they finally heard Wang Haiya's shouts.

But then the phone rang.

It was Shen Dequan's phone call.

"Did you hear that bitch's voice? If you did, run straight ahead until you reach the fifteenth ship. I'll be waiting for you there."

"Don't try anything funny. I've planted explosives on this bitch. If you see her before I get the money, I'll blow her to pieces!"

"Did you hear that?"

On the phone came Shen Dequan's extremely vicious voice.

Shen Yao glanced at the police officers who were quietly approaching in the darkness, and she agreed to Shen Dequan's request.

"Okay, I'll come over and give you the money right now!"

"Hurry up, as soon as possible, I don't have the patience."

Shen Dequan hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.

Shen Yao didn't dare to delay. Carrying a small suitcase full of money, she ran forward as fast as she could.

When she finally saw Shen Dequan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, as she was panting and preparing to reach the fifteenth ship.

Shen Dequan has lost a lot of weight.

However, those clear, dark eyes still gleamed with a chilling light.

"Oh, the dutiful daughter has brought the money."

"Throw the money over here!"

Once Shen Dequan saw the money, he was practically glued to it.

He reached out his hand towards Shen Yao.

Shen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the boat Shen Dequan was sitting on.

This is a new fishing boat; once it starts moving, it will be very fast.

If Shen Yao throws the money to Shen Dequan, Shen Dequan will definitely just set sail and run away.
