Tang Qidai’s tone was filled with resignation and despair.

She was like a terminally ill patient who was waiting for death after learning about her illness.

There was no longer any hope of survival.

For a moment, Lin Shanchu felt that Tang Qidai in front of her was a little similar to herself, who was once terminally ill.

However, she felt that Tang Qidai was not similar to her on second thought.

Unlike Tang Qidai, she was unwilling to wait for death. She was unwilling to die before Lu Shiyuan and Tang Qidai.

Lin Shanchu clasped her hands together and placed them on the table. Then, she slowly leaned forward and fixed her gaze on Tang Qidai.

“It’s just that I won?

“What else?”

A faint confusion surfaced on Tang Qidai’s face, as if she did not understand what Lin Shanchu was trying to convey with these two questions.

Lin Shanchu looked at the expression on her face and sneered. “No more?”

“What else could it be?” Tang Qidai smiled expressionlessly and replied, “I’m going to stay in this dark place for the rest of my life. To what extent do you want to force me?”

The more Tang Qidai spoke, the more agitated she became. She then lost control and roared at Lin Shanchu.

“You’ve already won! What else do you want?!

“I’ve already said that I planned to live my life in peace. Why won’t you let me off the hook?

“Why must you force me to this extent?!

“I’m not a good person, but how much kinder are you than me?”

Tang Qidai’s out-of-control roar attracted the attention of the police. Then, they came in to take her away.

When she was dragged away, she kept shouting Lin Shanchu’s name.

The voice was sharp and mournful like a ghost’s howl.

Humans were not born with test certificates and standards.

Therefore, not everyone was worthy of being a human.

Some people were born evil and felt that the world and others had let them down until they died.

Such a person would neither feel guilty nor apologetic.

Even if they turned over a new leaf, they did not do it because they wanted to correct their mistakes and become good people.

Rather, they could no longer commit evil deeds under under restriction.

Or perhaps it was because they could not hurt the person they hated even if they committed evil deeds.

If such a person died, everything would end once and for all.

Lin Shanchu drove to pick up Yun Wu.

Yun Wu handed her luggage to the chauffeur and asked him to send it back to the Yun family. She then got into Lin Shanchu’s car and went shopping with her.

Yun Wu sat in Lin Shanchu’s car, leaning against the window and looking out.

“It’s good to have a vacation!”

Yun Wu looked outside for a while and then excitedly said to Lin Shanchu, “Let’s go have a meal first. Then, we’ll go shopping at the Gourmet Street.

There’s an antique market in the west side of the city where we can shop.

There’s also the Snack Street right next to it. When we come back here, we can go to the night market to eat barbecue…”

Yun Wu was still the same, talking about food all the time.

“Alright,” Lin Shanchu replied with a smile.

Lin Shanchu went shopping with Yun Wu for the entire day.

When they came back and went to the night market at night, they were stuck in a traffic jam.

Yun Wu went out to inquire about the situation.

When she got into the car, she complained that it was cold.

“What’s going on ahead?” Lin Shanchu asked her.

Yun Wu replied, “There’s a car accident involving two luxury cars. It should be cleared up in a while.”

After hearing those words, Lin Shanchu nodded slowly and said, “Let’s wait then. ”

Not long after waiting, the car in front of them began to move.

Lin Shanchu started the car. After driving for a short distance, she saw Huo Chaosheng waving at her from the roadside.

As soon as Lin Shanchu rolled down the car window, Huo Chaosheng ran over. Huo Chaosheng turned his head and saw Yun Wu sitting in the passenger seat.

“Teacher Yun, you are here too?”

Yun Wu pursed her lips and stared nervously at Huo Chaosheng as she clutched the seatbelt.

Lin Shanchu placed one hand on the steering wheel and turned sideways to block Huo Chaosheng’s line of sight.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came out to have fun with my friend. My friend got into a car accident and the car can no longer be driven. It’s not easy for me to hail a cab. Can you give me a ride?”

“No, hail a cab yourself,” Lin Shanchu said with a slightly restrained expression.

Yun Wu was traumatized by Huo Chaosheng and was still afraid of him.

There was no reason for her to pick him up when Yun Wu was also in the car.

Huo Chaosheng was a little angry as he asked, “Why are you like this? Don’t you have any sense of righteousness?”

Lin Shanchu took out her phone and transferred a thousand yuan to Huo Chaosheng in front of him.

“It’s enough for you to take a cab home.”

Lin Shanchu put away her phone and was about to roll up the car window.

“Didn’t you say that you’d have dinner with me after you’re done with work?” Huo Chaosheng asked anxiously with his hand still on the car window.

Lin Shanchu replied, “I’m busy preparing for New Year celebration. Let’s talk about it after the New Year.”

“Really?” Huo Chaosheng asked in disbelief. “You swear?” Lin Shanchu fell silent for two seconds before she replied, “…I swear.” “That’s more like it.” Only then did Huo Chaosheng step back.

When Lin Shanchu rolled up the car window, Huo Chaosheng turned his head and nastily looked at Yun Wu in the passenger seat. “Teacher Yun, see you.” Yun Wu grimaced as she clutched the seatbelt.

Noticing Yun Wu’s expression, Lin Shanchu thought that she was probably not in the mood to shop anymore.

“Yun Wu, I’ll take you home.”

Yun Wu shook her head and said, “Let’s go to the night market.”

Lin Shanchu thought that Yun Wu insisted on accompanying her because she was worried that she had never been there before. Just as she was about to say that she did not really want to go there, she heard Yun Wu say, “The barbecue there is reallv delicious. I haven’t eaten it in a long time. I’m craving it.”

Lin Shanchu was speechless. She was overthinking it.

Since Yun Wu insisted on going to the night market to eat barbecue, Lin Shanchu had nothing to say and drove straight to the night market.

Many people came out to have fun at the end of the year.

The night market was bustling with activity.

Although the two of them bundled up, they were still recognized by a few keen- eyed passersby.

Yun Wu took Lin Shanchu to a large barbecue restaurant.

The restaurant was spacious, but both upstairs and downstairs were almost full.

The two of them queued for half an hour before there were empty seats.

The waiter led them upstairs. They were seated by the window. When they turned around, they could see the crowd downstairs.

Yun Wu kept ordering food on the menu.

After ordering food for a long time, she finally decided to push the menu to Lin

Shanchu. “Shanshan, what do you want to eat?”

Lin Shanchu glanced at the dishes she had ordered and closed the menu. “These are enough for us.”

Yun Wu looked at the order list herself and felt that he had indeed ordered a lot of dishes. Instead of ordering additional dishes, she called the waiter over.

“Please bring a half a case of beer over.”

Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Wu in surprise and asked, “You want to drink?”

Yun Wu pursed her lips and nodded. “It’s rare that I don’t have a job. I’ll drink a bit.”

“Oh, can you finish it?” Lin Shanchu asked Yun Wu as she saw the waiter carrying half a case of beer.

“Let’s drink together.” Yun Wu widened her eyes and looked at Lin Shanchu as if it was a matter of course.

Lin Shanchu thought that Yunwu was going to drink the beer by herself. Then, she replied, “I have to drive later.”

“You can hire a designated driver or ask Third Brother to come and pick you up.”

As Yun Wu spoke, the waiter had already brought the beer over..
