Chapter 48: It Is Too Easy To Crush Him To Death

Gu Shinian touched her head, feeling dizzy. She blurted out automatically. “He is the person who saved me last time.”

Although she blurted her answer out of nowhere, Qin Muchen was reminded of a night when Gu Shinian went missing. After that, she told him that if not for someone who saved her…

Therefore!

“Were you together with him that night?”

A man and a woman alone for a night!

Gu Shinian did not notice anything amiss. She nodded, answering honestly. “Yes.”

They had stayed together for an entire night.

If not for Xu Jiashu, she might have had to wander the streets again.

“What’s his name?”

“Xu Jiashu.”

“Very good.”

Qin Muchen released her, acting unlike his usual self.

Gu Shinian was puzzled. What was good about it?

“So he is Xu Jiashu, is that so? The upstart in the financial industry?” He had heard of this name from the business news. He curled his lips. There was almost no expression on his face. “Why did he choose to go into the finance industry? Just a simple check and I will know his weaknesses.”

This sounded dangerous.

Gu Shinian might be foolish, but she could tell that something was wrong.

“W-what are you talking about?”

“Nothing.” Qin Muchen took his time to reveal his intentions. “Just about crushing him to death.”

He should not have set his designs on his woman.

He could not blame him for being ruthless.

Gu Shinian had seen how a multinational company folded overnight because of Qin Muchen.

He was ruthless, pursuing his enemies to the brutal end, targeting their weaknesses.

Once they collapsed, it was impossible to get back on their feet.

Gu Shinian felt frightened. “Qin Muchen, you must not do anything to him!”

“Of course I can. He dares to eye my woman. Given this alone, he must die,” Qin Muchen said coldly in a mocking tone.

“No, he didn’t!” Gu Shinian finally realized what was wrong as she hurried to explain in incoherent sentences. “It’s not what you thought! We are innocent. Nothing happened that day.”

“I don’t believe it.”

The expression in Xu Jiashu’s eyes was different when he looked at Gu Shinian.

A man would only look at a woman in that way if he was in love with her.

He could not tolerate that his woman was on another man’s mind.

Since he could not tolerate it, Qin Muchen would deal with it according to his method.

Death.

Qin Muchen walked inside.

Gu Shinian grabbed hold of his hands. “Qin Muchen, don’t behave in this manner! It has nothing to do with Xu Jiashu. You have always been able to distinguish right from wrong!”

“Humph, Gu Shinian, don’t be too simple-minded.

“The underworld does not have that many disputes and quarrels.”

“Since I want him to die today, he will not be able to make it out of here alive.”

He enunciated each and every word, telling her the harsh reality. “If you continue to plead for him, he will have an earlier death.”

He sounded gentle but his words spoke of harsh violence.

Gu Shinian’s heart shuddered at his words, her face devoid of any colors. She pursed her lips, the grievances and bitterness that she felt in the past few days poured out.

“Qin Muchen, I was about to die that day. If he didn’t save me, I would really have died.”

“…After I came out from the manor of the Qin family, I encountered some ruffians and I almost landed up in serious trouble. It was Xu Jiashu who helped me to fend them off.”

“That day, you were the one who sent me away. You told me to scram as I broke your photo frame. That’s why I went somewhere far away.”

“You were the one who told me to leave that day.”

“Qin Muchen, you were the one who told me to leave.”

She spoke between tears, repeating the same sentence over and over again.

Gu Shinian’s voice turned hoarse. “He saved me, If saving me is wrong, then I should be the one to die.”
