As he frowned, the image of Xu Fei's brother's blood-stained face resurfaced in Zhuo Yuchen's mind.

That day, gunshots rang out everywhere, and the sky was dark, gray and gloomy, without a trace of light.

Xu Fei's brother lay in his arms, his blood-stained hands gripping his collar tightly.

He said he had no regrets about dying for his good brother, but his only worry was his sister.

Hopefully, Zhuo Yuchen can take good care of Xu Fei for him in the future.

That way, he can die in peace.

With a heavy heart, Zhuo Yuchen's brows were filled with pain and turmoil.

They were suffering greatly.

How should one choose between love and gratitude?

Hey!

This is a dilemma!

Ultimately, after weighing his options, Zhuo Yuchen made a painful choice.

His voice was terrifyingly low, "This is the last time. I'll release Xu Fei in a bit. You'd better take her far away."

"A life for a life."

"After this, I will have repaid the debt of gratitude to the Xu family."

He has wronged Yan Niannian.

In the past, now, and this time.

Once Xu Fei, this unpleasant presence, is gone, he will definitely make it up to her.

for sure!

"This……"

As greedy as Sister Wu was, she naturally didn't want to give up this precious opportunity to use kindness as leverage so easily.

But given the current situation, she had no better options.

Rescuing Feifei is the priority.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhuo." Mrs. Wu quickly agreed.

……

Yan Niannian picked up the drink on the table, brought it to her lips, and took a sip.

"Ok!"

I must say, it actually tastes pretty good.

It is sweet and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness.

Narrowing her eyes, Yan Niannian's furrowed brows gradually began to relax.

Zhang Xintong breathed a sigh of relief.

Since they met, this was the first time she had ever seen Yan Niannian with a relaxed expression, which was quite rare.

"Niannian, you seem to be in a good mood." Zhang Xintong smiled.

"Yes!" Yan Niannian put down her cup, glanced in the direction of the lounge, and nodded. "Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished."

"Xu Fei has done many bad things, and now she will finally pay the price for her actions."

"She escaped last time..."

"Because of Zhuo Yuchen?"

Zhang Xintong is one of the world's top hackers, so she knows everything about the entanglements between Yan Niannian, Zhuo Yuchen, and Xu Fei.

"Hmm!" Yan Niannian nodded. She didn't go into details about that incident, but just curled her lips in disdain. "Zhuo Yuchen has done a lot of foolish things that violated his principles for that Xu Fei."

"Don't worry, this time he won't be confused."

Zhang Xintong patted Yan Niannian's shoulder reassuringly.

She believed that Zhuo Yuchen's blindness had now been cured.

Yan Niannian did not refute.

Because she thought so too.

The evidence is conclusive, and the crime is heinous.

Zhuo Yuchen shouldn't be that much of a scumbag.

While chatting with Zhang Xintong, Zhuo Yuchen walked in, his gaze fixed on her back filled with deep guilt.

After watching for a while, Zhuo Yuchen turned and walked towards the lounge.

Ten minutes later, the police arrived.

They went to the lounge to arrest people.

Yan Niannian and Zhang Xintong exchanged a glance and then followed behind.

It's always best to witness the fate of bad people firsthand.

Let her see Xu Fei off on her final journey!

But who knows...

When everyone arrived at the door of the lounge, they were dumbfounded.

The lounge door was wide open.

There wasn't a single guard in sight, and he'd vanished... Where was Xu Fei?!

"How could this be?" Yan Niannian stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

She rushed into the lounge, searching inside and out, and finally had to accept the disheartening truth.

Xu Fei ran away right under his nose!

"Go after them right now!"

The police officers immediately rushed out to chase after the person.

Seeing that Yan Niannian's complexion was not good, Zhang Xintong stepped forward with concern and took her hand, "Niannian, are you alright?"

"Ok?"

Yan Niannian mechanically turned her head to look at her.

He seemed momentarily dazed.

A few seconds later, he realized what Zhang Xintong had just said.

"I...it's okay..."

Yan Niannian forced a smile, her lips curving upwards.

She appeared indifferent on the surface, but her subtle actions betrayed her.

Taking a step back and taking a deep breath, Yan Niannian leaned weakly against the wall.

His face also started to look a little pale.

Fearing that Yan Niannian might overthink things, Zhang Xintong quickly tried to distract her, "By the way, didn't Zhuo Yuchen send people to keep an eye on Xu Fei? How could she have escaped?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Niannian grasped her right hand with her left hand, and after finding some warmth, she narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

The lounge door was wide open.

The guard was not there.

These people always obeyed Zhuo Yuchen's orders without question and would never leave their posts without permission.

unless……

It was Zhuo Yuchen who ordered them to evacuate.

It was him... who released Xu Fei!

"Ha!" With a desolate laugh, Yan Niannian's face was so ugly that words could not describe it.

Their hands were clasped together, but they couldn't hide the trembling in their fingertips.

Coldness arises from the heart.

cold!

My whole body was ice cold; it was really cold.

At that moment, a series of heavy footsteps slowly sounded.

Yan Niannian looked up.

It is Zhuo Yuchen.

He appeared on the other side of the corridor, his face both solemn and guilty, and walked towards her step by step.

Yan Niannian's eyes were cold.

Filled with rage, she was about to rush over and confront this scumbag.

"Near!"

Worried that Yan Niannian's emotions were too agitated and would cause unnecessary conflict, Zhang Xintong subconsciously tried to pull her back.

But Yan Niannian shook him off.

Zhang Xintong frowned.

Actually, she regretted saying those words that were meant to distract Yan Niannian as soon as they left her mouth.

Because if Yan Niannian can think of it, she can naturally think of it too.

but……

She could clearly see that Zhuo Yuchen's eyes held a deep affection when he looked at Yan Niannian.

Xu Fei wants to kill Yan Niannian!

If she hadn't happened to install an alarm camera on the same day, Yan Niannian would have been burned alive by now.

How could Zhuo Yuchen release the person behind Yan Niannian's back?

Was she mistaken? Or did he have some hidden reason?

Zhang Xintong didn't understand.

"Zhuo Yuchen, did you release Xu Fei?" Rushing up to Zhuo Yuchen, Yan Niannian took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and asked the question with great difficulty, word by word.

"I……"

Zhuo Yuchen forced a smile.

Chest feels tight.

I felt heavy-hearted and incredibly guilty.

Zhuo Yuchen subconsciously reached out to hold Yan Niannian's small hand, as if only in this way could he truly feel Yan Niannian's presence.

But to everyone's surprise, Yan Niannian took a step back.

His expression was one of disgust and loathing, which he made no attempt to hide.

It's like... like looking at something dirty.

Zhuo Yuchen felt a sharp pain in his heart.

His relationship with Yan Niannian had finally eased up a bit, allowing them to talk calmly and peacefully, but now it has completely plummeted back to freezing point.

It's even worse than before.

"Speak!" Yan Niannian roared angrily, her patience exhausted.
