Chapter 736: The Promise to Never Return
“Interest? It seems that my wife is also a businesswoman. Like me, she doesn’t engage in a losing business.”
“Well, for the sake of our grand cause, shouldn’t you send me to the hospital now?” said she seriously as she looked at him.
s.h.i.+ Yuting looked at Zhong Shenghao. After a long time, he said softly, “Take her away.”
Zhong Shenghao was naturally grateful for his words.
If it was in the past, Yuting would have definitely killed all who opposed him without mercy!
He struggled to prop himself up and used his uninjured hand to pull Jing Xinlei up. After glancing at s.h.i.+ Yuting and Zuo Weiyi in front of him, he turned around and walked towards the door.
“Jing Xinlei.”
Just as the two of them reached the door, s.h.i.+ Yuting’s called out coldly.
Jing Xinlei was startled. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and met s.h.i.+ Yuting’s cold eyes.
“I’ll leave Zhong Shenghao’s life in your hands. If he dies, you will be blamed.” Though the words were said calmly, they weighed as heavy as a rock on Xinlei’s heart.
She will be his murderer if she breaks her promise, even if Yuting and Weiyi were the ones who killed Zhong Shenghao.
Zhong Shenghao’s grip on Jing Xinlei’s hand tightened.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take her out of this city tomorrow. I promise we’ll never come back.”
s.h.i.+ Yuting glanced at him and didn’t say anything else. Instead, he picked up the person in his arms and strode out of the lounge.
The guests in the hall had heard the gunshot but did not witness anything else unfold so there had been quite an uproar among them. Everyone was left guessing whether the sound had really been a gunshot.. or the sound of a champagne bottle being opened.
Due to the large number of people in the hall, the two pairs had to use the corridor to get to the sixth floor. Then, they took the elevator to the first floor and rushed to the hospital.
In the car, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was still unwilling to accept how things ended. She was even more puzzled as to why her sister-in-law would let Jing Xinlei go!
“Sister-in-law, how could you let that woman go just because of brother Shenghao’s plea? She’s too hateful!”
Zuo Weiyi thought for awhile as she smiled at her. “Nuannuan.”
“What?”
“If one day,” she paused as she glanced at Xiangyi in the driver’s seat, then turned back and looked at Nuannuan, “Xiangyi had an accident while he was on a mission, and he disappeared forever, how would you feel?”
Nuannuan was not expecting such a direct question. Both her and Xiangyi, who was in the driver’s seat, were slightly stunned by her direct words. Then, their faces turned red.
“Sister-in-law, what…what are you talking about?!” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan lowered her head, feeling a little shy.
Although her sister-in-law knew that she liked Xiangyi, they had never been in an official relations.h.i.+p. Even Xiangyi had never said that he liked her!
“It may be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but if there really is such a day, how would you feel?”
Although she was shy, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan did not intend to avoid answering this question. Instead, she seriously thought of an answer.
If there really was such a day, wouldn’t she be in so much pain she’d rather die?
“Of course I would die in pain!” She thought to herself, and blurted out.
As soon as the words left her mouth, her smiling face suddenly turned red, and she stole a glance at Xiangyi.
