Chapter 355: 355: A Life for a Life

“Mr. Jie!”

The surrounding bodyguards were red-eyed and wanted to approach him, but they were afraid of agitating the out-of-control Bai Wei, so they froze in their places, not daring to move.

“Ah——”

Bai Wei let out a terrified scream as the hand holding the knife’s hilt loosened, and she placed both hands on her head.

“I just killed someone…”

“I didn’t mean it, Jie! Call an ambulance quickly, what are all of you standing around for, hurry!” As Bai Wei watched the traces of blood dripping down from the knife’s handle, her whole body tensed up, seemingly reminding her of Bai Huo lying in a pool of blood after being shot, and she screamed in madness.

She stepped forward, intending to cover Dan Hanjie’s wound, but he quickly moved back.

He pressed his hand on the knife’s injury, forcefully pulling the knife out.

Fresh blood splattered all over Bai Wei’s face.

Feeling the warm blood splatter on her face, Bai Wei reached out a hand in shock, touching it.

As she saw the deep red on her fingertips, she started shaking all over.

“I won’t die from just one stab, you want my life, right? Today, I’ll give you enough…” Dan Hanjie’s face turned deathly pale, barely standing upright, holding the knife in his hand, aiming it at his own chest, and mercilessly stabbing himself again.

Dan Hanjie’s movements were quick and ruthless, not hesitating for a moment.

There was no time to stop him.

“No!”

Bai Wei’s scream came from deep within her heart, and her body fell limply to the ground.

“Enough, stop hurting yourself. If you go on like this, you’ll die…”

Dan Hanjie’s tall figure stood unmoving, his face utterly drained of color. His shirt was stained with blood, and it was continuously dripping onto the ground.

After just two stabs, a pool of blood quickly formed on the ground.

Breathtaking and alarming.

“Are you also afraid?”

Dan Hanjie swayed slightly, and his alluring face turned cold and gloomy, a streak of deep red at the corner of his mouth, creating a strange tinge of color.

He stood unmoving, gazing down at Bai Wei, who was trapped in immense fear.

His lips parted slightly, “This is how I felt when you hurt yourself.”

“…”

Bai Wei looked up in surprise, but she was speechless.

Dan Hanjie glared at her coldly, tossed the blood-stained knife on the table, his voice icy, “I’ve paid back this life debt. It’s you who doesn’t want it. From today onwards, I have nothing to do with the Bai family!”

“…”

“I have kept your finger for you, but if there’s a next time, I will take your life!”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes tightened, his teeth clenched, “Take her and lock her in the darkroom. Without my orders, no one is to bring her food!”

“Yes.”

The bodyguards obeyed the order, quickly stepping forward and dragging Bai Wei, who was so shocked she’d forgotten to resist, off the ground.

It wasn’t until her figure disappeared that Dan Hanjie’s tall body faltered.

The next second, he crashed to the floor.

“Mr. Jie——”

…

A gentle breeze swept over the windowsill, the unlatched window allowed the curtain to flutter in the wind.

The glaring sunlight poured into the room.

Qin Youxuan lay on the bed with her eyes open, unblinkingly fixated on the dazzling sunlight on the windowsill.

After a while, her eyes began to sting and shed tears. She reached out her hand to shield her eyes.

She left a small gap between her fingers to continue watching, her eyes dull…

Qin Mo had already explained everything. Jiang Yu’s death had nothing to do with anyone in the Qin family.

She had waited for and resented him for a lifetime, only because she had fallen in love with a man she shouldn’t have loved.

The Jiang family wasn’t unimportant. Once the issue of premarital pregnancy was exposed, it was inevitable that the Jiang family would have forced her to have an abortion.

To keep the child of that man, Jiang Yu agreed to a contract with Qin Mo before their marriage; they would only be husband and wife in name.

As soon as that man came back to find her, Qin Mo would agree to a divorce, and then logically bring back Jin Lan and her son, allowing his son to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his roots.
