Hou Chenyi said word by word, while staring intently at Zhai Cheng.
This man had been surrounded by glory since birth. He took over the Zhai Corporation at a young age and was praised by everyone.
And what about himself? He had lived a life of danger since childhood. No one cared about his achievements or his life. He endured insults every day.
Even now, his family still refused to recognize his identity. Was all this his fault? He used to doubt himself. Did he not do well enough? That was why his father was unwilling to recognize him. But no, that man had never liked him.
To that man, he was a stain on his perfect life path.
Hou Chenyi's eyes turned red. He freed one hand to wipe his face, then looked at Zhai Cheng with a forced smile. "Zhai Cheng, your woman is in my hands now. You must be very scared, right?" Zhai Cheng didn't say a word. Hou Chenyi was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. "Why don't you answer me? Why do you pretend to be so calm? Do you want Song Ge to die? Don't push me. I really can do it."
Hou Chenyi roared at the top of his lungs. "Answer me!"
It was obvious that he had gone completely crazy. It was useless to try to reason with a madman. Zhai Cheng could only nod and go along with Hou Chenyi's demands for the time being. "Yes, I'm very scared. I don't know what you're going to do. Please let Song Ge go first, okay? We can talk things over."
"Fine, fine, fine." Hou Chenyi gritted his teeth. "I can let Song Ge go, but only if you..."
Hou Chenyi took out a small knife from his waist and threw it at Zhai Cheng. "Pick it up," he roared.
Hou Chenyi was extremely emotional. Zhai Cheng didn't dare to provoke him. He bent down to pick up the knife and waited for Hou Chenyi's next words.
"Of course I can let Song Ge go, but only if you stab yourself with this knife."
"No, no, Zhai Cheng, don't hurt yourself." Song Ge struggled in Hou Chenyi's arms, trying to break free. Unfortunately, her strength was less than one - tenth of Hou Chenyi's. She couldn't even shake him a little.
Instead, her struggle alerted Hou Chenyi. To prevent Song Ge from running away, he tightened his grip. "Be still," Hou Chenyi threatened. "If you don't want to die, stay quiet."
Looking at Song Ge's panicked expression, he smiled bitterly. "Song Ge, I really don't want to hurt you."
I've told so many lies, but this one is true. No matter what, you're the last person I want to hurt. But why do you just like Zhai Cheng so much?
"Okay, I promise," Zhai Cheng said calmly, looking at the knife. "But you also have to promise me that you'll let Song Ge go." As he said this, Zhai Cheng glanced at Song Ge.
Song Ge's face was streaked with tears. She was crying like a fool. "Zhai Cheng, umm..."
"Okay, I promise you," Hou Chenyi grinned crookedly. Soon it would all be over, Song Ge.
Zhai Cheng held the knife and pointed it at his own chest.
"No..." Song Ge stomped hard on Hou Chenyi's toe. Taking advantage of his momentary pain, she quickly turned around and pushed Hou Chenyi away. Hou Chenyi lost his balance and leaned backward. He reached out and grabbed the corner of Song Ge's clothes. The two of them stepped backward together and went over the railing.
"Song Ge..." Zhai Cheng rushed over quickly and grabbed Song Ge's wrist.
"Song Ge..." This cry of "Song Ge" came from Hou Chenyi. After shouting, with the sound of the clothes tearing, Hou Chenyi fell.
Song Ge's whole body was hanging outside. Zhai Cheng was desperately holding on to her, preventing her from falling.
Song Ge looked down. From the height of dozens of floors, if they fell, they would surely be smashed to pieces.
Zhai Cheng gritted his teeth in pain. His forehead was covered with veins, and big drops of sweat ran down his cheeks.
"Zhai Cheng, let go quickly! Otherwise, we'll both die," Song Ge cried.
"I won't..." Zhai Cheng said with difficulty. "I will never give up on you, Song Ge. Never, no matter what." Because you're my whole world!
Zhai Cheng forced a smile. "Come on, give me your hand. We can definitely survive."
"No, it's not like that," Song Ge shook her head. Zhai Cheng simply didn't have the strength to pull her up. Instead of both of them sacrificing, it would be better if she died. Zhai Cheng was so outstanding and intelligent. He had a brighter future. How could he die because of her?
"I don't want this. Zhai Cheng, let me go. Promise me you'll live well, okay? I'm begging you."
"Don't even think about it," Zhai Cheng smiled, looking more miserable than crying. His eyes were blood - shot. At this moment, Zhai Cheng had reached his physical limit and couldn't hold on much longer.
Song Ge closed her eyes. She really didn't want Zhai Cheng to get into trouble. "Zhai Cheng, I love you." Song Ge stretched out her right hand and slapped Zhai Cheng hard.
"Zhai Cheng, remember that I'll always love you..."
"No..."
Zhai Cheng stared at his empty hand. "Song Ge." Without even thinking, Zhai Cheng jumped down.
Song Ge, I'll always love you too. In this life, no matter how difficult the situation is, I'll follow you. You can't get rid of me.
"Attention, attention. The system has been reset."
A mechanical female voice sounded in her ear. Who was speaking? Song Ge had no idea.
When she landed, she didn't feel much pain. Through her blurry vision, she felt that Zhai Cheng had also jumped down with her.
She blinked her eyes, groaned in pain, and then opened them.
"Where is this..." Song Ge looked at the antique - looking room. The furnishings inside had a flavor of the Republic of China era. She had only seen such decorations on TV. Was this the underworld?
But why couldn't she see the King of Hell? Song Ge rubbed her head. She just felt a bit weak, but there was no pain at all.
"Er'er, you're awake!"
A woman pushed the door open and walked in. She was wearing a cheongsam. Behind her was a man in a black Chinese tunic suit. The man was standing in the bright light. The light was too strong, and Song Ge couldn't open her eyes.
"Mom."
Song Ge patted her forehead. Was this a hallucination after her death? How could she see her mother?
"You're finally awake. Do you know how worried Zhai Cheng and I were?"
Finally, she could see the man's face clearly. It was Zhai Cheng. Song Ge exclaimed in surprise.
"Song Ge, it's me," Zhai Cheng stretched out his hand and nodded at Song Ge.
"What's going on?" Song Ge bit her lips. She was completely confused about what had happened. Wasn't she already dead? And what about Zhai Cheng? Did he also jump down with her? Otherwise, how could she see Zhai Cheng?
Zhai Cheng, you're so stupid. Why did you jump down with me? You should have lived well!
"Guess," Zhai Cheng smiled and waved his hand, indicating for Song Ge to hold his hand quickly.
"Huh?" Song Ge was confused. "Mom, am I dreaming?" Song Ge looked at her mother.
