Actually, it had been a long time since Shen Qingyue divorced Qin Zhen. Occasionally, Madam Qin would think that Shen Qingyue had truly moved on, but then she would reconsider, finding it impossible to believe. Who would use five billion as a bargaining chip for a marriage that was destined to go nowhere if not out of deep love? Yet she hadnât anticipated that when Shen Qingyue loved, it was passionate and intense, and when she left, there was no lingering attachment.
Shen Qingyue did not want to waste her breath any longer. Communicating with the Qin family was too tiresome. She turned and opened the car door, getting in.
However, Madam Qin couldnât let go and continued to question persistently, âYou really donât want to remarry Qin Zhen? Are you just going to watch him marry someone else?â
While starting the car engine, Shen Qingyue remained calm, saying, âYour son has a bad temper, heâs fickle, irritable, unreasonable, and he likes to play the drama of having extramarital affairs. Besides those who are after your familyâs money, who would genuinely like him? If it werenât for⦠forget it, I canât afford a man like him.â After saying this, she stepped on the gas pedal and left directly.
What Shen Qingyue did not notice was that Qin Zhen had been standing not far away the whole time. This made his already sickly pale face even paler.
So, in Shen Qingyueâs eyes, was he really such a person? She used to love him
so much⦠was it all fake? This immense contrast weighed heavily on his heart, a feeling he could not shake off no matter whatâ¦
When Shen Qingyue returned home, she realized her phone was dead and turned off. She noticed several missed calls from Chi Ming. Upon seeing the message, she could not help but smirk and dialed back. It rang for a long time, but no one answered, and it automatically disconnected. She pursed her lips and dialed Zhang Jianciâs number, but got the same result.
This made her feel a vague sense of unease. Just then, her browser pushed a news notification to her.

Shen Qingyue almost dropped her phone. She tremblingly clicked on the news, looking at the horrifying pictures, and she was completely panicked. It couldnât be true. She had already warned Chi Ming, and he had promised⦠the things he promised her, he would definitely fulfill.
But even so, she couldnât control the anxiety in her heart. She kept dialing Chi Mingâs phone number repeatedly, but it still did not go through.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shen Qingyue fell silent for a while, then directly booked a flight ticket to the gambling city. Right now, she had only one thought: to confirm Chi Mingâs safety.
When Chi Ming was by her side before, she had never realized his importance, even when she was chasing after Qin Zhen, she often ignored Chi Ming. But he had seeped into her life like air, making her accustomed to his presence, almost imperceptibly.
She didnât know when it had started, but her feelings for him had changed.
Just then, her bodyguard, stationed at the hospital, called her. She answered the phone in confusion, hearing the urgency in the bodyguardâs voice: âMiss Shen, Mr. Shen has been taken into the operating room again, you need to come and see him!â
Shen Qingyue was startled, âWhat happened? He was fine yesterday, right? Didnât the doctor say he would be discharged soon?â
âWe donât know the detailsâ¦â the bodyguard hesitated. âMr. Shen signed a property transfer agreement before he lost consciousness, transferring all his assets to Miss Yan Xi⦠You are no longer our employer.â
The bodyguard was making this call out of sentimentality, otherwise, according to protocol, he couldnât report Shen Junâs situation to Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue understood; it must be Yan Xi and Xu Fengzhiâs doing. So when Yan Xi invited her to dinner with the Tang family tonight, it probably wasnât just for showing off; it was to get her out of the way. Xu Fengzhi she could understand, but why would Yan Xi do this? How could she even target her grandfather?
Shen Qingyue stepped into the elevator and called Chen Ying, instructing her to gather a few people. As the bodyguard had said, she was no longer their employer. The hospital was now under Yan Xiâs influence. If she went there now, she would probably be kicked out.
At the hospital.
Chen Ying hurriedly arrived, following Shen Qingyue. âI was just watching the news. They said the gambling city was attacked. I remember a few days ago you mentioned Chi Ming went there. Have you managed to contact him?â
Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then quickly regained her composure..
âHis phone isnât reachable, but he must be fine! Probably just busy and didnât check his phoneâ¦â
