He struggled to open his eyes and dimly saw Zhu Lian's figure. Hope flashed in his eyes for a moment, but was quickly extinguished by the weakness of his body.

The continuous hunger and dehydration, coupled with the weakness from excessive blood loss, made his body unable to move at all, let alone escape.

"You came……"

These few words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his voice was weak and humming.

But the one who responded to him was Zhu Lian's ominous figure.

She held a black umbrella and her red skirt fluttered in the wind, forming a sharp contrast with the night.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind and her face was distorted by gloom, she was beautiful yet frightening.

"Yes, I am here to put an end to it all with my own hands!"

Her voice was cold and resolute, and the gun in her hand flashed coldly in the rainy night, pointing directly at Liu Qin's vital points.

Liu Qin was shocked, with a trace of unbelievable pain in his eyes: "You want to kill me?"

He tried to express his confusion with his remaining strength.

Zhu Lian's eyes were cold and heartless, "In this world where the strong prey on the weak, trust is the most luxurious thing. I know Huai Jin's methods. Once he finds out you're still alive, your fate will only be more tragic. And you, as an insider, are a time bomb to me."

"Lianlian, for all I have done for you, please believe me..."

Liu Qin's voice was weak and trembling.

He thought of the past, those times when he risked his life for her and was willing to give everything for her, and his heart ached.

"Only the dead can keep secrets!"

Zhu Lian's words were like an ice spike, piercing Liu Qin's heart mercilessly. Her eyes were empty and ruthless, and her finger was already on the trigger, ready to end everything in front of her.

"You look so miserable, just like an abandoned beggar. Do you think you can impress me by wagging your tail and begging for mercy? No, you are wrong. I will only feel disgusted and bored!"

Her words were full of disdain and disgust, completely severing the last trace of affection between the two.

"Let me tell you a secret. Mumu has never been your child. How can a guy like you be worthy of me giving birth to your own flesh and blood? You are so stupid!"

Her revelation was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Liu Qin to his core.

"what?"

Liu Qin's consciousness was on the verge of collapse, but Zhu Lian's words were like a shot of adrenaline, arousing his instinct for survival.

However, before he could struggle, a dull gunshot broke the silence of the rainy night and killed all hope.

……

But in Xinyuan, far away from the center of the storm, a completely different picture of Zhu Xin is presented.

Zhu Feiwan finished a busy day and after washing up, the little Tuantuan in her arms became her greatest comfort.

She was just about to coax the child to sleep, while in the other room, Su Yan was having a great time playing with the two little ones.

Zhu Feiwan looked at this harmonious scene and couldn't help but smile.

In her opinion, the role of a father is crucial in a boy's growth, as it can make children more resilient and cheerful.

"Ayan, Tuantuan and I are going to sleep first, so don't play too late."

She reminded him softly, her words full of trust and understanding for her husband.

Su Yan heard this, turned around, and responded to Zhu Rou with his eyes that always made people feel at ease: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to the time."

Just as Zhu Feiwan was about to turn around and leave, Su Yan seemed to remember something and added a caring sentence: "It's a bit cold tonight, don't forget to turn up the air conditioner by two degrees."

Zhu Feiwan responded with a smile, his heart full of gratitude and familiarity for this delicate care.

She carried Tuantuan into the bedroom, humming a lullaby softly.

Soon, the child fell asleep peacefully in her arms. However, just as she was about to rest, the phone screen suddenly lit up, breaking the silence.

"Hello? Is this Third Brother?"

She carefully left the room, found a quiet corner, and answered the unexpected call.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Huai's voice was slightly hoarse due to excitement: "Junior sister, the mastermind behind your death has been found! The assassination on the ship was planned by the Han family, and the previous car accident was also instigated by Zhu Lian!"

"That's too much! The revenge for the fire five years ago has not yet been avenged, and she actually dared to attack you again!"

An indescribable anger and unwillingness surged in Zhu Feiwan's heart.

"Junior sister, it's time to act! Our patience is limited, and our plan of revenge cannot be delayed any longer!"

Zhao Huai's words awakened the dormant fire of revenge in Zhu Feiwan's heart.

Although she had a premonition about the culprit behind the car accident, when she heard the truth with her own ears, her heart was still in turmoil and it was difficult to calm down.

The fire five years ago not only burned her appearance, but also left an incurable trauma in her heart.

Although she successfully restored her appearance after several plastic surgeries, the scar on her thigh left by skin grafting became a permanent pain in her heart.

No amount of cosmetic restoration can erase that memory.

The revenge that was originally planned to be carried out after the child grew up seemed to have been brought forward due to the opponent's relentless pressure.

The other party's relentlessness made her realize that if she didn't fight back, not only herself but also the innocent child might be affected.

Thinking of this, Zhu Feiwan's eyes became deep and cold: "Third Brother, if you want revenge, you can't just focus on Zhu Lian. The Lu family, the Zhu family, and everyone who has hurt me, don't let any of them go!"

Her voice was light, but every word was heavy.

the next day.

The city air after the rain is filled with the fragrance of earth.

Early in the morning, before the sun had completely dispelled the mist, Chang Wenjuan could no longer contain her inner excitement. She eagerly called Zhu Lian and invited her to her home with an expression of joy that was hard to conceal.

The whole family, except for Lu Huaijin who always seemed a little distant, gathered around the dining table, looking forward to the extraordinary day that was about to happen.

Chang Wenjuan's face was filled with a bright smile and her cheeks were slightly red. It was an uncontrollable excitement that radiated from within.

"Tonight, the mayor's wife is coming to our house for dinner. You know, I've been having heart pains lately, and they're getting worse. The mayor's wife offered to introduce me to a private doctor who just returned from the United States. I heard that his medical skills are very good!"

Her speech speed unconsciously quickened.

After hearing this, Zhu Lian immediately seized the opportunity to show off. Her voice was sweet and flattering: "Oh, is it true? Mother-in-law, you really have a wide network of contacts. Even the mayor's wife is so concerned about your health and personally recommends a doctor for you. It's incredible!"

In her words, she spared no effort in praising.

Chang Wenjuan was praised by this: "Of course, the mayor's wife and I are good sisters who can talk about anything! We often make appointments to get beauty treatments together!"

There was a hint of pride in her tone.

Zhu Lian gave a thumbs up at the right time: "Mother-in-law, you are really amazing!"
