Chapter 557: Chapter 557: This Man is the Devil
 

“Why are you doing this to me, why…” Jian Sisi wept bitterly.

Tears streamed down her face, and there were also handprints left by Shen Chi on her neck.

Standing to the side, Xiao Mo passed Shen Chi a handkerchief. Shen Chi stood up to take it and wiped his hands.

He looked down at Jian Sisi with indifference, hands in his pockets, as frosty as icicles in the dead of winter.

Without a word from Shen Chi, Jian Sisi crawled to Xiao Mo’s feet, grabbing his legs, “Xiao Mo, we were colleagues, tell me, what’s going on?”

Xiao Mo looked displeased and impatiently said, “Zhuo Fan had an accident on the way delivering goods.”

“He’s always been so cautious, and he’s been delivering goods for many years, how could this happen? Xiao Mo, be more specific!” Jian Sisi hysterically shouted at Xiao Mo.

“No matter what I say, Zhuo Fan is already dead!” Xiao Mo said with impatience.

Jian Sisi let go of his leg and fell to the ground, slumped.

Her eyes were a blur of confusion and oblivion. Her child was gone, Zhuo Fan was dead, so what about her…

“Jian Sisi, have you decided how you want to die?” Shen Chi spoke coldly.

A ruthless and chilling light flashed in his eyes, like the King of Hell himself from the underworld.

“President Shen, I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die… Please don’t be so heartless, think about our child, give me a way to live…”

“You still have the nerve to talk to me about the child?” Shen Chi’s gaze was icy sharp.

Xiao Mo was really helpless. This Jian Sisi, on the verge of death, still hadn’t forgotten to perform. She was trying to grasp at a sliver of hope, unaware that this would only hasten her demise!

“President Shen, think of that little life, he was just so tiny, so adorable, he’s your child…”

Jian Sisi hugged Shen Chi’s legs again, this time gripping them firmly, refusing to let go.

She didn’t want to die, she didn’t want to die!

In the past, she often heard people say that Shen Chi was heartless and cruel, but she always turned a deaf ear.

She thought she was smart enough, that as long as the details were taken care of, Shen Chi would never find out.

At first, she was very timid, not daring to make any big moves, just occasionally sneaking around with Zhuo Fan, arranging secret meetings.

Later, encouraged by Zhuo Fan, she became bolder.

Just then, she discovered she was pregnant. Zhuo Fan pointed out a way for her, to pretend to sleep with Shen Chi, to feign carrying Shen Chi’s child. Knowing his personality, Shen Chi would surely give her a sum of money.

Indeed, on that very day, Shen Chi gave her five million in compensation.

She originally thought to stop after getting the five million; after all, it wasn’t a small amount.

But Zhuo Fan’s goal wasn’t the money. He told her privately that with Shen Chi being so wealthy, if she could bear Shen Chi’s child and marry him, she would be set for life in wealth and splendor.

At that time, find a perfect opportunity—after the child is born, get rid of the child.

That way, Shen Chi would never find out.

She disagreed, feeling certain Shen Chi would never marry her. Moreover, if Shen Chi ever found out, it would be a catastrophe.

Zhuo Fan pushed her to take the gamble, saying it was just one gamble, and she wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of her life. Plus, Zhuo Fan said he would handle everything.

Lured by profits and unable to resist Zhuo Fan’s persuasion, she took the risk.

But she didn’t realize one wrong step meant consecutive wrong steps, until now when it was all too late…

No, she couldn’t die; she still wanted to live.

As long as she could live, life would go on. She was still young, she could still have a wonderful future! Everything could start anew!

She clung to Shen Chi’s legs, daring not let go.

“President Shen, there’s nothing between Zhuo Fan and me; he’s my fellow townsman. In C City we just look out for each other, that’s all.”

Shen Chi scoffed, looking down on her from above.

“Jian Sisi, then you tell me, where did that four-month-old child of yours come from? Huh?”

Jian Sisi’s mind exploded, and she stood there stupefied! Her mind went blank, and the lights in front of her kept flickering!

Her child, four months old, she had always been hiding it from Shen Chi.

She never anticipated that Shen Chi had been suspicious all along.

She had already discussed with Zhuo Fan whether to let the child be born and then strangled, or to just prevent the child from being born at all.

This issue, she and Zhuo Fan had discussed for a long time but had never agreed upon.

After going pale, Jian Sisi steadied her expression.

She feigned a look of confusion, lifting her innocent big eyes to Shen Chi, “President Shen, I don’t understand what you mean. I only have one child, with you, a little over three months. A few days ago, it passed away…”

As she spoke, her tears fell like broken pearls, continuously tumbling down.

Her tears wet her hair, her eyes swollen like peaches, bright red.

She cried with great sorrow, even Xiao Mo standing by couldn’t help but be moved.

Unfortunately, both Xiao Mo and Shen Chi knew exactly what kind of person Jian Sisi was.

The corners of Shen Chi’s lips curved into an indifferent smile, “Jian Sisi, you truly refuse to shed a tear until you see the coffin.”

Having said that, Shen Chi withdrew his leg from Jian Sisi’s grasp.

Jian Sisi wouldn’t let go, insisting on holding on; she feared that once Shen Chi left, she’d be trapped here forever!

Shen Chi let out a cold laugh and raised his foot!

This kick carried substantial force. Jian Sisi let out a cry as she was kicked away, wincing and holding her chest as she looked at Shen Chi.

This man, he was a devil.

“President Shen…” she tried to crawl towards Shen Chi again.

Xiao Mo stopped her, coldly saying, “Jian Sisi, stop struggling. The day you had the miscarriage, did you forget I was there too?”

With those words from Xiao Mo, Jian Sisi completely collapsed on the floor.

Yes, the night she had the miscarriage, Xiao Mo was on the scene!

It turned out, Shen Chi and Xiao Mo had indeed been suspicious of her long before.

“Jian Sisi, what else do you have to say? Your miscarried child was a boy, four months old. I think I’m not wronging you, am I?” Xiao Mo said.

Jian Sisi shook her head repeatedly, “No, it’s not like that, Secretary Xiao, it must be a mistake from the hospital, that one time with President Shen in Paris, in April, it was a little over three months. Secretary Xiao, it must be a mistake from the hospital.”

“Hopeless!” Xiao Mo scoffed.

Even with irrefutable evidence, this woman still tried to struggle.

“Stop talking nonsense with her!” Shen Chi gave Xiao Mo a cold glance.

“Yeah,” Xiao Mo nodded, “President Shen, do you have anything else to ask?”

Shen Chi stood still, bending down like an emperor from above, his sharp gaze landing on Jian Sisi.

“Jian Sisi, do you want to live?”

“President Shen… I beg you, I want to live, I don’t want to die. President Shen, let me leave this place, please?” Jian Sisi began crying and begging Shen Chi.

“I can save your life,” Shen Chi said.

“President Shen, I’m of no use to you, please let me go, I’ll leave C City far behind and never come back, truly…”
