Chapter 381: Dark Lights River (Part )

Song Nian didn't know what he would do if he were Lu Zhinian.

But she knew Lu Zhinian too well.

Lu Zhinian would not let go of a man who had once threatened him.

"Shuci hasn't sent these documents out yet, and the Bai family doesn't know anything!" Song Nian held Lu Zhinian's wrist tightly. There was a thin layer of sweat on her palm, which stained his skin. The temperature was low. She said anxiously and panickedly: "As long as we make Bai Shuci sure that he won't tell anything, this matter will not affect you!"

Her anxious look was really ridiculous in Lu Zhinian's eyes.

Not to mention, her reasons were so poor.

There was sarcasm in Bai Shuci's eyes. He gently pinched Song Nian's chin, as if looking at him casually.

"Niannian, you obviously know me very well, don't you? Why do you say such ridiculous things?" Lu Zhinian listened to Bai Shuci's sudden and shrill scream, and the sarcasm in his smile became even stronger. "Let me ask you, your desire to save him so much has an impact on me?"

Song Nian opened his eyes wide and looked at Bai Shuci.

She was digesting his words, blinking her eyes slowly, looking dazed and at a loss.

Lu Zhinian was filled with hostility. He sneered and spoke slowly and firmly, word by word, "Tell me, how could I allow such a person to live? When I think of you kneeling down to beg me for him, I wish he would die!"

Song Nian's body became colder and colder. She let go of her hand dejectedly, and finally realized something.

She looked at Lu Zhinian for a long while, then asked uncertainly in a low voice, "What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do so that you can let him go?"

"How can you be sure? The key to all this lies with you?" Lu Zhinian's eyes were calm. "I didn't say anything. Nian Nian, people should not be too clever."

Song Nian pursed her lips, and finally lowered her eyes dejectedly, with a look of letting others do whatever they want, and said, "You want me to be obedient, I know."

She knows everything.

That's why I wanted to leave so determinedly.

Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes to hide the gloomy emotions in them.

He grabbed Song Nian's wrist and pulled her up.

The girl had a slender figure, and fell into his arms like that.

Lu Zhinian hugged her tightly, and the entangled posture of the two of them was really somewhat ambiguous.

But only Song Nian knew that the voice he spoke in her ears was cold and indifferent, like a slow torture.

"Don't you want me to release Bai Shuci? Sure, as long as you do as I say."

Song Nian didn't move, and asked obediently: "What do you want me to do?"

"Tell him that you don't plan to leave me, and that you have to stay with me for a long time. From now on, I won't come to see you again." Lu Zhinian kissed Song Nian's cheek and encouraged him, "Niannian, go ahead. I believe you won't let me down, right?"

Song Nian's heart was calm as she had long anticipated Lu Zhinian's ruthless tactics.

So, she only cared about the truth or falsehood in his words.

"As long as...as long as I do as you say, you will let Bai Shuci go."

"Of course." Lu Zhinian's lips brushed against Song Nian's ear, and he smiled lazily and gently, "What I said to you has never been untrue. As long as you do this, I promise you that he will be able to leave alive."

Song Nian also heard the opposite meaning.

With shock in her eyes, she looked at Lu Zhinian in disbelief, lowered her voice, and asked in a state of collapse, "Are you still a human being?" "I am." Lu Zhinian answered her seriously.

The man placed the girl's cold hand on his chest and asked calmly and gently, "Do you want to dig out my heart and see it?"

Song Nian couldn't bear it any longer, and tears fell from his eyes.

Her teeth were trembling, she was choking, and she whispered in a low and broken voice: "Lu Zhinian, you are crazy."

Lu Zhinian just looked at the pain in Song Nian's eyes calmly.

Are you crazy?
He has already gone crazy.

He had gone crazy when he wanted to keep Song Nian at all costs.

He should have had many choices, but he chose the only road full of difficulties.

He has always been smart, so how could he not know what his choices mean.

He just didn't want to give up and would rather suffer than not let her stay.

Song Nian didn't know how he got to Bai Shuci. The scarred man sat in the corner of the secret room, his eyes silent. Only when he heard the door open did a deep fear flash across his face.

The next moment, he saw Song Nian at the door, and the fear on his face relaxed.

The door closed and Song Nian walked towards him slowly.

Bai Shuci approached Song Nian suspiciously, grabbed her hand, looked around with an uneasy look, and whispered: "Niannian! Lu Zhinian is a psychopath! He locked me up here! He wants to kill me! You must save me! Go find someone to save me!"

Song Nian knew that Bai Shuci must have suffered a lot.

Such a gentle person is now acting weird and like a madman.

Song Nian looked at Bai Shuci with a complicated expression for a long time, then said softly: "Brother Shuci, don't be afraid, you don't need to look for anyone, I am here to save you."

Bai Shuci was startled. He looked at Song Nian and became more nervous: "Niannian, did Lu Zhinian do something to you? You don't have to worry about me! Just leave!"

Song Nian shook her head, her eyes were red, but her voice was calm, "Brother Shuci, it's my fault. I shouldn't have involved you in this dispute. Lu Zhinian won't let me leave the Lu family. I will stay here for the rest of my life. Go ahead and live your own life."

Bai Shuci understood Song Nian's choice.

But now, he didn't get the information he should have, and as for Song Nian, she didn't belong to him either.

In the end, he had nothing.

Bai Shuci looked at Song Nian unwillingly and said, "Niannian, were you forced?"

Song Nian had made up his mind, "I was not forced."

"What do you mean?" Bai Shuci laughed very coldly and said, "Are you going to tell me that you volunteered? You volunteered to stay with Lu Zhinian?"

"Yes, I volunteered." Song Nian said numbly and calmly: "I don't want to leave now. I plan to stay with him for the rest of my life. Brother Shuci, I have no other choice. Lu Zhinian is my best destination."

Bai Shuci looked at Song Nian's calm face, and uncontrollable anger surged in his heart. He grabbed Song Nian's wrist and said, "I want you to go with me!"

"I won't go with you!" Song Nian suddenly broke free, and said firmly, "I want to stay in the Lu family."

"Song Nian, I never thought that you are such a vain woman!" Bai Shuci sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm. He looked at Song Nian's stunned face and said fiercely, "Then what's the point of everything I've done! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be injured like this!"
