Chapter 688: Only Heartache

Zhao Tianhua thought that Qin Mucheng would fly into a rage out of humiliation.
However, who knew that Qin Mucheng’s expression remained calm?
He only looked at Zhao Tianhua indifferently as if he were looking at an ant.
This gaze completely infuriated Zhao Tianhua.
He picked up the small jar in his hand and pretended to smash it on the ground, “Qin Mucheng, don’t force me. If you do, I will scatter Ji Yuanyuan’s ashes.”
Qin Mucheng’s eyes were fixed on the small jar in Zhao Tianhua’s hands. He frowned slightly when he heard that and said, “Don’t you care about Shen Lingxue at all? She’s in my hands now. As long as you give me her ashes…”
Before Qin Mucheng could finish his sentence, Zhao Tianhua burst out laughing again.
Qin Mucheng frowned as he looked at Zhao Tianhua, who had a crazed expression on his face.
“Do you think I’m like you? Who was Shen Lingxue? I’m just using her. Does she really think I’m loyal to her? I’ve already transferred Ji Jianguo’s assets. She’s useless to me now. If you want her, I’ll give her to you.”
Qin Mucheng sighed and looked in the direction of the helicopter.
Shen Lingxue was being held by two people.
She looked at Zhao Tianhua in shock. Before Zhao Tianhua could react, she immediately shouted, “He’s lying to you. The ashes in the jar are not Ji Yuanyuan’s.”
Zhao Tianhua turned around and was stunned when he saw Shen Lingxue.
He hugged the jar tightly in his arms and said nervously, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. There are indeed Ji Yuanyuan’s ashes inside.”
“Ji Yuanyuan was burned to death on the mountain a month ago. I saw her burn to death with my own eyes. Zhao Tianhua’s ashes are fake.” Shen Lingxue shouted hysterically.
“Shen Lingxue, are you crazy? Shut up!” Tianhua Zhao shouted angrily.
He was in too much danger now. If it were not for Ji Yuanyuan’s ashes, Qin Mucheng could have taken his life at any time.
Qin Mucheng was a lunatic now, a lunatic who disregarded the law.
He had already successfully transferred Ji Jianguo’s assets overseas. He had originally planned to immigrate abroad to live a carefree life.
However, who knew that Qin Mucheng would have his eyes on her during her last few days in the country?
He would be free if he could escape successfully and go abroad.
No matter how big Qin Mucheng’s sphere of influence was, it was impossible for him to hunt him down all over the world.
In his panic, Zhao Tianhua did not realize that someone was quietly approaching him from behind.
By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
Two men in black suits pounced on him and restrained him.
Seeing that Zhao Tianhua was being controlled, he loosened his grip, and the jar was about to fall to the ground.
“Be careful of the jar!” Qin Mucheng shouted anxiously.
One of the men in black quickly hugged the jar.
As a bystander, Ji Yuanyuan saw Qin Mucheng’s gaze clearly.
Even though he knew that the jar might be fake, Qin Mucheng was still very nervous.
When the man in black grabbed the jar, Qin Mucheng strode forward impatiently.
He took the jar and carefully opened the lid.
There was nothing inside.
Zhao Tianhua was controlled. He laughed out loud again, “Qin Mucheng, even if she dies, you won’t be able to get her. You’re really too pathetic, hahaha…Ah…”
Zhao Tianhua did not laugh much before he let out a terrified shout.
Ji Yuanyuan looked sideways and saw that Zhao Tianhua had almost fallen off the cliff.
At this moment, he was clinging to the edge of the cliff, trying his best to climb up.
Qin Mucheng watched him struggle with an indifferent expression. He had no intention of helping him.
Seeing that his boss didn’t move, the man in black beside him naturally stood still.
Zhao Tianhua was terrified. He desperately crawled on the ground and begged, “Save me, please save me, I don’t want to die…”
The soil at the edge of the cliff was a little loose. The more Zhao Tianhua struggled, the more dangerous it was.
Suddenly, the soil at the edge of the cliff could not bear the weight and scattered.
“Ah…”
With a scream, Tianhua Zhao fell.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Mucheng did not even lift his eyelids.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the unfamiliar Qin Mucheng and did not feel afraid at all.
Her heart ached.
How much had Qin Mucheng endured in silence to become like this?
When Zhao Tianhua’s voice disappeared from the mountain, Qin Mucheng shifted his gaze back to Shen Lingxue.
Shen Lingxue was also scared silly. She did not expect Qin Mucheng to really do such a thing.
He was crazy! For Ji Yuanyuan, he had gone completely crazy.
Shen Lingxue immediately fell to her knees, “Zhao Tianhua forced me to do all this. I didn’t want to kill my sister. Qin Mucheng, let me go. I’ll bring you to find my sister’s ashes. Please, let me go. I will pray for my sister for the rest of my life…”
Shen Lingxue knelt on the ground and slowly crawled to Qin Mucheng.
She grabbed Qin Mucheng’s pants and pleaded with tears and snot.
However, no matter how much Shen Lingxue begged, Qin Mucheng’s expression remained unmoved.
He just raised his head and looked at the sky, thinking about something.
A moment later, he sighed deeply and said in a low voice, “There’s no need. That small graveyard will only imprison her soul. I would let her go wherever she wanted in this vast world.”
Shen Lingxue stopped crying. She looked up at Qin Mucheng in disbelief.
He was so excited when he saw the fake bone ashes in Zhao Tianhua’s arms just now. Now that he had the chance to find Ji Yuanyuan’s real bone ashes, why was he not moved?
After Qin Mucheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and looked at Shen Lingxue.
“As for you, you’re quite compatible with Zhao Tianhua. Go down and accompany him!”
After he finished speaking, Qin Mucheng lifted his leg and pulled his pants out of Shen Lingxue’s hands.
He turned around and walked toward the helicopter not far away.
Shen Lingxue finally came back to her senses and pounced on Qin Mucheng, “Please let me go. I didn’t do it on purpose. As long as you let me go, I’m willing to do anything…”
However, before Shen Lingxue could get close to Qin Mucheng, she was stopped by the men in black on both sides.
Qin Mucheng boarded the helicopter without looking back.
Soon, the helicopter left the mountain.
Shen Lingxue’s screams became more and more shrill.
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Shen Lingxue from the side but did not feel too happy.
She raised her hand and covered her heart.
Her heart ached. It hurt so much.
Her heart ached for Qin Mucheng, who had a soft heart, to become like this because of her. Her heart ached for Qin Mucheng, who was approaching his forties and was still alone…
“Qin Mucheng!” Ji Yuanyuan shouted in a low voice.
Qin Mucheng, who had just closed his eyes and was still awake, quickly got up and turned on the night light when he heard Ji Yuanyuan’s call.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” Qin Mucheng placed his arm behind Ji Yuanyuan’s head and hugged her. He kissed her on the forehead as he asked..
