Shen Jingyan said to herself: "Jiang Xiyan, as long as you are willing to let Lu Yuchi go, I will do anything. Come out and see me!" Her voice trembled slightly, full of helplessness and despair.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds gathered quickly. Soon, heavy rain poured down on the city without restraint. The whole city was shrouded in dark light, as if covered by a layer of gray curtain. From time to time, a flash of lightning flashed across the gray sky, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire city, followed by a deafening thunder, as if intimidating the endless stream of vehicles on the street and the passers-by holding umbrellas and walking hurriedly.

The rain poured down like a waterfall, hitting the ground hard, splashing water. Shen Jingyan was instantly soaked by the rain, her hair was wet and stuck to her head, and her clothes were tightly attached to her body, outlining her thin body. But she still knelt stubbornly, without any retreat in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and kept telling herself in her heart that she couldn't give up and must persevere. No matter how heavy the rain or how loud the thunder, she would wait for Jiang Xiyan's response.

Jiang Xiyan finally appeared. He stood there like a god descending, exuding a powerful aura. However, his eyes were full of disdain for Shen Jingyan. That look was like a sharp blade, piercing Shen Jingyan's heart.

The moment Shen Jingyan saw Jiang Xiyan, a glimmer of hope surged in her heart. She ignored her own wet and miserable appearance and said anxiously: "Jiang Xiyan, I beg you to let Lu Yuchi go. He is innocent, and everything is caused by me." Her voice trembled, with deep guilt and pleading.

Jiang Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Shen Jingyan, I told you that you are not worthy of calling my name, have you forgotten?" His voice was cold and ruthless, as if it came from the judgment of hell.

Jiang Xiyan's perfect face with distinct features is even more eye-catching in the rain. His deep eyebrows are like swords, slightly frowned, adding a bit of majesty. His eyes are deep, dark, sharp, and his gaze is like a torch, so sharp that people dare not look directly at him. His nose is very straight, standing in the center of his face like a mountain, showing his perseverance and pride. His lips are cold and sexy, with a slightly upward arc with a hint of sarcasm. His hair is thick and shiny, black like lacquer, and even darker and more beautiful under the rain. His body proportions are comparable to the world's top models, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, long straight legs, and every line is just right. His every move is more elegant and noble, making people unforgettable, as if he was born to be a king, making people surrender involuntarily.

Yes, this seemingly perfect man is now an extremely cold-blooded and ruthless king. He controls the fate of countless people, but never shows mercy to anyone.

Shen Jingyan raised her face and looked at Jiang Xiyan, who was looking down at her pitifully. Tears flashed in her eyes, and the rain slid down her cheeks like pearls that had broken off the string. She continued to plead, "Master Yan, please let Lu Yuchi go. How are you going to torture me? I will accept it, I beg you!" Her voice was full of despair and helplessness, which made people feel pity.

Jiang Xiyan looked at her expressionlessly, as if he was looking at a stranger. After a long time, he finally made a move. He stretched out his hand and gently lifted her tender chin. His fingers were slender and powerful, with a hint of coolness. "Shen Jingyan, everything you have done to me, you begged me so much, I don't deserve it?" His tone was full of sarcasm and resentment, which made people shudder.

Jiang Xiyan gently lifted Shen Jingyan's chin, and her heart trembled violently, as if an electric current instantly spread throughout her body. Tears poured out more violently, mixed with rain, and flowed freely on her pale face.

"Jiang Xiyan, please let Lu Yuchi go for the sake of our past friendship. I know I'm sorry for you, but Lu Yuchi is innocent." Shen Jingyan's voice was almost hoarse, and every word was filled with endless pain. The pain seemed to turn into substance, filling the air and suffocating people.

Jiang Xiyan's hand suddenly pinched her chin tightly, with such force that Shen Jingyan frowned in pain. Her eyes were full of pain and confusion, and she didn't understand why the once gentle Jiang Xiyan had become so cruel.

"Love, do you think there is love between us?" Jiang Xiyan's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth. His eyes were full of anger and hatred, as if he wanted to devour Shen Jingyan.

Jiang Xiyan looked at her painful expression and slowly loosened his hand. The pain on Shen Jingyan's chin disappeared, but the pain in her heart became more intense. Jiang Xiyan withdrew his hand, stood up straight, and his deep eyes moved across her white rain-soaked face, as if thinking about something, and suddenly became very interested.

"Are you willing to pay any price?" Jiang Xiyan's words were filled with a hint of sarcasm.

"I do!" Shen Jingyan answered without hesitation, her eyes full of determination.

"Then I can give you a chance to try, but I'm afraid you won't be willing." Jiang Xiyan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"I'll do anything you ask me to do!" Shen Jingyan said anxiously. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to save Lu Yuchi.

"I want you to please me." Jiang Xiyan's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Shen Jingyan stunned for a moment.

"Jiang Xiyan, how did you become like this? You look so strange that I don't recognize you!" Shen Jingyan's voice was full of shock and disappointment. She couldn't believe that the once gentle and kind Jiang Xiyan would say such a thing now.

"Do you think I want to know you? If it weren't for you, my brother and grandfather would still be alive. I really want to dig out your eyes!" Jiang Xiyan's eyes were full of anger and hatred, and his voice was like ice, making people shudder.

"I don't know why it has come to this. There must be something fishy about the death of Brother Wuque and Grandpa. I didn't harm them. Why did you do this to me?" Shen Jingyan's voice was full of grievance and helplessness. She didn't understand why Jiang Xiyan would put all the blame on her.

"I'll give you another chance. Are you willing to be my plaything? If you serve me well, I can consider letting Lu Yuchi go!" Jiang Xiyan's words were full of insults and provocations.

"Impossible, Jiang Xiyan, I didn't expect you to be so shameless now!" Shen Jingyan's eyes were full of anger and determination. She couldn't accept Jiang Xiyan's insults, and she couldn't sell out her dignity.

"Shameless, huh? Then kneel down!" Jiang Xiyan said, and turned to walk towards his car. His steps were firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Xiyan drove away from the company, leaving Shen Jingyan kneeling alone in the rain. The rain hit her mercilessly, but she didn't feel a bit of cold.

Shen Jingyan knelt in the rain for a day and a night. The rain kept washing her body, her face became paler, and her lips lost their color. But her eyes were still firm, and she had only one belief in her heart, that is, she must let Jiang Xiyan let Lu Yuchi go.

As time went by, her body became weaker and weaker, and her consciousness began to blur. However, every time she wanted to give up, Lu Yuchi's figure and his help and support would appear in her mind. This made her cheer up and continue to persevere.

The night wind was even colder, and Shen Jingyan's body kept shaking. Her knees were numb, and pain spread throughout her body. But she clenched her teeth and didn't utter a single groan. She knew that she couldn't show weakness and let Jiang Xiyan look down on her.

Just when Shen Jingyan felt that she could no longer hold on, a figure appeared in front of her. It was Lin Xi. Lin Xi felt distressed when she saw Shen Jingyan in such a miserable state.

"Boss, why are you doing this? Jiang Xiyan is not worthy of you doing this." Lin Xi's voice was filled with tears.

Shen Jingyan weakly raised her head, looked at Lin Xi, and smiled bitterly. "Lin Xi, I can't give up. Lu Yuchi is in trouble because of me. I must save him."

Lin Xi sighed helplessly, she knew she couldn't convince Shen Jingyan. So, she took off her coat and put it on Shen Jingyan. "Boss, you have to take care of yourself. If you fall down, we really have no hope."

Shen Jingyan looked at Lin Xi with gratitude, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that at this time, only Lin Xi had been with her and supported her.

However, Shen Jingyan's persistence did not win Jiang Xiyan's sympathy. Jiang Xiyan sat in the office, looking through the window at Shen Jingyan kneeling in the rain, without a single wave in his heart. He felt that Shen Jingyan had brought this upon herself, and she must pay the price for her actions.

As time went by, Shen Jingyan's body became weaker and weaker. She didn't know how long she could hold on, but she knew that as long as she had a breath left, she would not give up. Because she couldn't let Lu Yuchi suffer misfortune because of her, she had to fight for her innocence and dignity.

Shen Jingyan knelt in the rain for a day and a night. The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on her exhausted body, but the weak light did not bring any warmth. Instead, it seemed to be a ruthless reminder of the pain and despair she had experienced. Her face was as pale as paper, bloodless, as if it was a painting forgotten by the years, losing its vitality and energy. Her lips were as dry as the land after a long drought, and every crack told of her persistence and suffering. Her eyes were full of despair and fatigue, a kind of helplessness deep in her bones, as if the whole world was against her.

At this moment, Shen Jingyan's worn-out mobile phone suddenly popped up an entertainment message, and the harsh alert sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent air. The theme of the news was "Hongtao International Shopping Mall is in debt of 5000 million, and there is internal turmoil within the group." The moment Shen Jingyan saw this message, her heart sank suddenly, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss. She immediately thought that Jiang Xiyan must have done something. This terrible thought kept circling in her mind, making her heart ache like a knife. Does he hate himself so much? He even destroyed Lu Yuchi's company and made him bear a debt of 5000 million. Shen Jingyan couldn't understand why the beauty of the past had become what it is now.
