Suburbs of City A
Inside an abandoned industrial building, the light was dim and weeds grew rampant. A pale-faced woman with numerous wounds on her face was tied to a dilapidated chair, barely alive.
This is the third day that Mu Nansheng has been held hostage.
"Ha, I just got rid of Gu Jingchen's family and then fell into the tiger's den."
Mu Nansheng gave a self-deprecating laugh, her face bitter.
During the three days she was held hostage, only the masked man who abducted her poured water into her mouth each day; the mastermind behind it all did not appear.
Mu Nansheng desperately hopes that Jiang Beijia, the man who has captured her heart, will find her.
"Da da da"
The footsteps grew closer, and Mu Nansheng struggled to move her stiffly bound neck and look up.
Mu Wanwan was dressed in a red dress, with delicate features and a touch of red on her lips. She held a knife in her hand and smiled brightly.
"Wanwan, did you come to save me?
Where's Beijia? Why didn't he come?"
Mu Nansheng looked at Mu Wanwan excitedly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly peeked out to look for Jiang Beijia's figure.
Mu Wanwan toyed with the knife in her hand, smiling faintly and remaining silent as she quietly watched Mu Nansheng's disheveled appearance.
With a slight sweep of her red dress, she blocked Mu Nansheng's gaze from the warehouse entrance.
Mu Nansheng was stunned and looked at Mu Wanwan in surprise.
"Wanwan, where's Beijia? Why didn't he come?"
Mu Wanwan parted her red lips slightly and replied casually, "Sister, let me correct you. You should call Brother Beijia your brother-in-law."
Mu Nansheng raised her eyes in surprise, her eyes shining even brighter in the dim light.
Damn it, I'm already in such a sorry state, but this bitch still looks so alluring.
Mu Wanwan gritted her teeth in jealousy and glared at Mu Nansheng with resentment.
"Wanwan, what are you saying! Do you even know what you're saying?!"
Mu Nansheng struggled to break free of the ropes, her hair disheveled and her eyes slightly red.
Mu Wanwan stepped forward and pinned down the struggling Mu Nansheng, the tip of her knife lightly grazing Mu Nansheng's ashen cheek.
Mu Nansheng clenched her teeth tightly; the knife was as cold as the temperature on her body.
"Sister, don't you understand? You're such an idiot!"
"You...you guys, so you're all in cahoots."
Mu Nansheng's eyes were red, her hands gripped the rope tightly, and she stared intently at Mu Wanwan's face.
"Sister, don't be nervous. For the sake of our sisterhood, I'll give you a quick death."
"Ha, who said you're my sister? You're just an adopted daughter of the Mu family!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan felt as if Mu Nansheng had ripped open her wounds. Her expression changed, and the tip of the knife swiftly sliced across Mu Nansheng's cheek.
Blood streamed down her face, dripping onto the ground and pooling in a damp spot. Mu Nansheng, stubborn to the core, endured the blow without uttering a sound.
"Oh, what a waste of such a face."
Mu Wanwan put down the knife and took out her phone to capture the scene.
"Hahaha, you didn't expect that, did you? The high and mighty eldest daughter of the Mu family would be in such a sorry state. I wonder what others will think of you if this gets out."
Mu Wanwan held her phone triumphantly, her smile twisted into a sinister grin.
Mu Nansheng ignored her and closed her eyes in despair.
"Wanwan, hurry! Gu Jingchen and the others are coming!"
The warehouse door suddenly opened, and Jiang Beijia, dressed in a white suit, strode in.
"What's wrong, Brother Beijia?"
Mu Wanwan quickly composed herself and turned to ask.
"Hurry up and leave, forget about her. Take the Mu family crest and get out of here."
Jiang Beijia looked anxious and urged Mu Wanwan on.
Mu Nansheng watched the two despicable people quietly, feeling a deep sadness in her heart.
How could I have been so blind to fall for Jiang Beijia, who seemed sunny but was actually ruthless?
"Yes, the family crest. Where is the family crest?"
Mu Wanwan panicked and immediately began searching her body. But after searching for a while, she still couldn't find it.
"The family crest, is it? You'll never find it."
Mu Nansheng looked at them coldly, her voice icy and resolute.
The Mu family crest fell into the Gu family study during the argument when she was forcing Gu Jingchen to divorce her.
"What? No!"
Jiang Beijia's face was contorted with rage, his usual gentle demeanor gone.
"Then you should just die!"
Jiang Beijia's gaze fell on the knife at Mu Nansheng's feet. With a hardened heart, he picked it up and stabbed Mu Nansheng.
As the knife entered Mu Nansheng's body, her eyes glazed over. The icy touch mingled with the blood and foam, and Mu Nansheng gave a mocking smile. It seemed she was mocking the despicable couple, and also mocking herself.
The moment Mu Nansheng closed her eyes, the warehouse door was kicked open, revealing a bright light. In a daze, Mu Nansheng seemed to see Gu Jingchen, the man she had been married to for only five years, the man who signed the divorce papers with red eyes.
"If there is an afterlife... I will never let you down."
Mu Nansheng hung her head helplessly, blood foam gushing from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with a smile.
