Chapter 140 - 140 A New Nightmare

140 A New Nightmare

After receiving the news, Guo Muyang rushed over and didn’t let his men act rashly. He only secretly watched Xia Sitong and Ding Aojia.

Who would have expected that Ding Aojia would be carried out while standing?

At first, Guo Muyang was still puzzled, thinking that Han Tianyi and Xia Sitong were going to send Ding Aojia to the hospital. In the end, he followed them all the way to Yushui River.

Only then did he understand what they were trying to do.

Guo Muyang immediately ordered his men to stop them and called Shen Hanyu.

“How should we deal with this matter?”

Guo Muyang’s expression was complicated. “Hanyu, do as you see fit.”

Ding Aojia’s men were beyond saving. If they called the police now, Xia Sitong would be the murderer. Killing someone and then dumping the corpse, it was a really stupid plan. In addition to the arson, she would be sentenced to more than ten years in prison.

However, the Ding family definitely wouldn’t let this matter rest and would definitely find a way to get Xia Sitong to receive a heavy sentence, one that would definitely be even heavier than 10 years.

If Xia Sitong were to go to jail for ten to twenty years, her life would probably be ruined.

Shen Hanyu’s eyes were dark, as if they were filled with thick fog, making it difficult to see his emotions.

Meeting Shen Hanyu’s gaze, Xia Sitong cried out in fear, “It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me. Brother Hanyu, you know that I’m scared of blood. I can’t even stand the sight of blood, so how could I kill someone? It really wasn’t me…”

Guo Muyang sighed. “Sitong, there was only you and Ding Aojia at that time. You’re still thinking of lying?”

“They’re framing me on purpose. It really wasn’t me!”

Xia Sitong suddenly pointed at Han Tianyi, “It’s him! He’s the one who did it…”

Han Tianyi looked at Xia Sitong with a complicated expression. However, he did not say anything, as if he was admitting to it.

“Han Tianyi, don’t you want to defend yourself?”

Guo Muyang couldn’t understand Han Tianyi either. “People clearly saw you come out.”

“It was indeed me.”

“Sitong didn’t do anything,” Han Tianyi said indifferently. “She was just helping me clean up the mess.”

Guo Muyang was speechless. He looked at Shen Hanyu and said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. I think they’ve already destroyed the surveillance video.”

Shen Hanyu’s deep and cold voice seemed to come from the bottom of an extremely cold glacier. “Muyang, call the police.”

“Brother Hanyu…” Xia Sitong’s voice changed.

“I can try to restore the destroyed surveillance cameras.”

Shen Hanyu looked at her coldly. “What are you afraid of? You didn’t do anything, right?”

Xia Sitong’s face was drained of all blood.

Soon, the police quickly arrived and took Han Tianyi and Xia Sitong to the police station.

Shen Hanyu went back to Xia Sitong’s office, and it didn’t take long for them to recover the original surveillance video.

In the video, Xia Sitong was waving an ashtray and smashing it on Ding Aojia. Even Guo Muyang couldn’t bear to look at it.

“Hanyu,” he snorted. Just what kind of person did you and Uncle Shen keep around?”

This wasn’t just cruel and merciless, but also extremely evil.

Shen Hanyu pursed his thin lips tightly, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

“Hand the video over to the police, I’ll be leaving first.”

He got up and hurried downstairs.

In the car, the girl sat quietly waiting for him with her eyes lowered. She looked a little dazed. When he pulled the car door open, she was obviously shocked, but she quickly calmed down. “Everything’s settled?”

“Yes,” Shen Hanyu replied in a low voice. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

He couldn’t believe that the murderer was right beside him, and they were someone he thought was close to.

Xia Sitong had too many opportunities to make a move on Sang Qianqian. It was truly fortunate that she was able to escape unscathed.

If something happened to her again, he really wouldn’t be able to take it.

“Hanyu, what’s wrong?” Sang Qianqian felt there was something wrong with him.

“It’s nothing,”

Shen Hanyu’s voice was low and hoarse. After a long time, he finally let go of her. “I’ll send you back.”

It was already three in the morning when they arrived at the villa at Yushui Bay.

“Hanyu, you can stay here tonight.”

The place was big enough, and there were enough rooms. There was no need for Shen Hanyu to make a trip back to his own residence.

Shen Hanyu nodded and walked her back to her room. He looked into her eyes with unusual gentleness. “Good night,” she said.

That night, Sang Qianqian was unable to sleep. She tossed and turned in bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

The scene of Ding Aojia’s tragic death with her head and face covered in blood was still lingering in her mind. When it was almost daybreak, Sang Qianqian finally fell asleep.

However, it also seemed like she wasn’t asleep, as she drifted into the room of a tall building.

The door was locked from the inside and the room was dirty and messy with insects, snakes, rats, and ants wreaking havoc.

This scene was familiar.

A girl with a strange and thin figure was curled up in the corner, hugging her knees. Her clothes were tattered, and her long hair was messy.

It was raining heavily outside the window. A flash of lightning accompanied by a violent thunder struck, and the originally closed glass window was actually shattered.

The strong wind carried the heavy rain and swept through the crack. The girl slowly raised her head and looked at the crack stiffly.

Sang Qianqian’s blood seemed to have stopped flowing.

The girl had the exact same face as her, but her chin was sharper and her eyes were bigger. Her face was almost bloodless and as white as paper, and her big eyes were empty.

The girl slowly got up and walked to the window. She looked at the wind and rain outside for a moment, then broke the glass with her bare hands. Soon, her hands were covered in blood.

However, she finally broke a hole in the cracked window. The wind blew the girl’s hair, and she turned back to look at the dirty and terrible room.

The girl’s face was full of tears, but her eyes were filled with relief.

She mumbled a name. It was Shen Hanyu.

Tears rolled down her thin face and Sang Qianqian heard her say softly while sobbing,

“If I can start over, I will definitely not like you. I will only harm the Sang family and you. Shen Hanyu, I want the both of us to live happily…”

The girl knelt on the stool, climbed up the glass and out of the broken hole.

Realizing what she was about to do, Sang Qianqian’s heart tightened. She wanted to stop her, but she couldn’t even move her feet.

A bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky.

The girl’s body was like a paper kite with a broken string, rapidly falling into the endless darkness in the wind and rain…

—

Sang Qianqian was jolted awake. Her heart clenched tightly, and she was in so much pain that she couldn’t breathe.

Outside the window, the sky was starting to brighten, enough for Sang Qianqian to tell where she was.

Panting, she got out of bed with cold hands and feet and turned on the light. After a long time, she finally calmed down.

Ever since she left Ming City, she didn’t have any more nightmares about Shen Hanyu.

She had almost forgotten about that dream, but now, she was back in that horrible dream again. It was just that five years ago, the memories that flashed in her dream were all fast and blurry fragments, and many of them were broken.

At that time, she was in a dream and had personally experienced everything. This time, the dream was even more detailed.

She was like an outsider, watching herself jump off a building in a dream.

Moreover, she even heard her last ‘words’.
