I Believe in You

Now she is penniless and her reputation is ruined.

They can only eke out a living hiding in this dark basement.

She knew perfectly well that the Su family and the Lu family were in such a hurry to sever ties.

They were simply afraid that she would expose their shady dealings to Shen Yi.

After all, none of them dared to provoke Shen Yi's methods.

Thinking of Shen Yi, Su Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh, and she also has Shen Yi!

The Su and Lu families are searching for her everywhere, aren't they just afraid that she will find Shen Yi first?

As long as she gets there first and cries her heart out to Shen Yi.

Based on past relationships, he might forgive himself.

He might even use it to get revenge on those people!

This idea instantly excited Su Qian.

She trembled as she pulled out her phone from her bosom. The screen was cracked, but it was still barely usable.

She took a deep breath and dialed the number she knew by heart.

The moment the call connected, Su Qian immediately switched to a sobbing voice:

"Brother Shen Yi... save me..."

At this moment, Shen Yi was frustrated because he couldn't find Su Qian.

When he received her call, a cold smile flashed across his eyes.

It's like searching high and low without finding it; this woman actually delivered herself to my doorstep.

He suppressed the harshness in his voice and asked for the address in a calm tone.

He immediately hung up the phone and turned to Lin Wei, instructing, "Go to the place she mentioned and 'invite' her back."

He paused, then added, his voice as cold as ice: "Find a cage and lock her in it."

Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi looked at his phone and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

He will retaliate in kind.

……

The dark iron cage reeked of rust and dust, and the cold bars isolated the cramped space from the outside world.

Su Qian was awakened by a strong feeling of hunger in her stomach. She curled up in the corner of the cage, her body aching and her throat dry and sore.

I've been locked up here for a day now, and there's nothing but cold air.

Why hasn't Shen Yi arrived yet?

He promised to save me...

With a "click," the heavy door was pushed open.

A ray of light pierced the darkness and fell obliquely to the ground.

Su Qian subconsciously squinted as she watched a figure walk in against the light, the sound of footsteps particularly jarring in the empty room.

As the figure drew closer.

She finally saw who it was, her eyes lit up instantly, and she scrambled to the cage, gripping the cold iron bars tightly with both hands:

"Brother Shen Yi! You're here! You've come to save me, right?"

Shen Yi stood outside the cage, his face as cold as ice, his eyes devoid of any warmth, and his tone chillingly cold:

"Save you? You think I'm here to save you?"

Su Qian's smile froze instantly as a terrifying thought suddenly rushed into her mind.

Could it be him who locked himself up here?

She quickly adopted a tearful expression, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Brother Shen Yi, it's not me...it's not my fault! How could Qianqian harm you? It's all the fault of the Lu family and the Su family!"

"They coveted your project and money, which is why they forced me to do this..."

She sobbed uncontrollably, her voice trembling:

"Brother Shen Yi, I really didn't mean it, they forced me to!"

You know, I was only taken back to the Su family a few years ago. I had no status in that family at all, so how could I possibly fight against them?

They said if I didn't do as they said, they would... they would be rude to me...

Shen Yi looked at her quietly, his eyes as cold as frost.

He showed no emotion whatsoever, as if he were listening to a story that had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Su Qian cried even harder, her voice filled with exaggerated fear:

"They even threatened me, saying that if I didn't help them get what they wanted, they would harm you! I was afraid they would hurt you, so... I was confused for a moment!"

Brother Shen Yi, I really didn't want to, they forced me to do it all!

She watched as Shen Yi's face grew increasingly gloomy, a barely perceptible madness flashing in his eyes.

Get angry, Brother Shen Yi! The angrier the better! It would be best if you killed all those people!

Shen Yi slowly crouched down, approaching the cage, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"I will certainly not let them go."

He paused, his gaze like a poisoned knife landing on Su Qian's face.

"And you, I won't let you go either."

Su Qian's expression froze completely.

She stared incredulously at Shen Yi's cold, emotionless eyes.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, and my whole body froze instantly.

Shen Yi is terrifying.

"Brother Shen Yi... what are you saying?" She hurriedly wiped away her tears, trying to explain again.

"Qianqian is innocent! Look, after things were exposed, they sent people to hunt me down, just because they were afraid I would tell you the truth!"

I never intended to hurt you, really!

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Shen Yi's hand, which was near the railing.

He pressed his hand firmly against his chest, his voice carrying a final plea:

"Brother Shen Yi, feel this, my heart is with you!"

You must believe me, I am innocent…

Shen Yi's brows furrowed instantly, and intense disgust surged in his eyes.

He tried to pull his hand back, but Su Qian held on tightly, as if grasping at the last straw, refusing to let go no matter what.

Su Qian cried, her face streaked with tears, which rolled down her cheeks like broken beads. She clung tightly to Shen Yi's hand, refusing to let go.

"Brother Shen Yi, I'm truly innocent... I love Lu Chen so much, and he betrayed me, sob sob sob... You have to believe me..."

Please save me! I'll do whatever you say from now on, Qianqian... Waaaaah...

She cried and wailed while secretly glancing up, tears clinging to her eyelashes.

He carefully observed Shen Yi's expression, trying to catch any sign of relaxation on his face.

Shen Yi opened his mouth, and a few words escaped from his throat: "Really?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his heart skipped a beat, and his scalp tingled.

Again.

He started talking nonsense again, which was not what he wanted to say at all.

The brief moment of clarity seemed to have been abruptly extinguished by something, leaving my mind buzzing.

Su Qian instantly seized this glimmer of "hope," her eyes lighting up as she gripped it even tighter, her voice filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe:

"Brother Shen Yi! You believe me, don't you? I'm willing to do anything for you as long as you get me out of here!"

The whole world has abandoned me, now Qianqian only has Brother Shen Yi left..."

Shen Yi tried to pull his hand back, but his body felt as if it were being controlled by invisible threads, and his fingertips were stiff and wouldn't obey his commands.

He then suddenly remembered that he was in such an uncontrollable situation, and a wave of helpless frustration welled up in his heart.

next second.

He seemed like a different person, holding Su Qian's hands in his own, his tone unusually gentle, even soothing:

"Yes, Qianqian, I believe in you. I will save you. I will make those who hurt you pay the price..."
