After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash-Chapter 384: Long River Under the Dim Lamp (Part 4)

Song Nian couldn’t describe the shock in her heart at this moment.

The big brother who, in her eyes, had always been considerate of her, could actually say such things to her.

Her eyes reddened, and for a moment, her emotions surged, chokingly and hoarsely she said, "I’m not..."

"You’re not? Aren’t you just coveting Lu Zhonian’s worth, which is why you agreed to stay?" Bai Shuci said with a cold laugh, looking at Song Nian as if he were looking at trash, his disgust deep in his eyes, he said coldly, "If I’d known you were this kind of person, I wouldn’t have suffered so much for you!"

Song Nian knew that nothing she said now would make a difference.

Many things couldn’t be resolved by simply arguing endlessly.

She lowered her head, did not say any more, but quietly said, "Then you can leave now, I’m sorry you feel our meeting was so disgraceful."

Bai Shuci’s sneer intensified, he struggled to stand up, glaring at Song Nian in front of him, his eyes full of ferocious anger, "Look at you, it’s your desire to run off, you truly are the root of everything, yet Lu Zhonian acts as if he’s blind, not even touching a single hair of yours! Song Nian, I am injured so severely because of this! And now with just a word from you telling me to leave, do you think you can just wipe away everything just like that!"

Song Nian’s mind went blank, each and every word Bai Shuci said tightened the string of rationality in her heart even more.

Exhausted, after a long time, she was so tired that she said, "What do you want then? How do you want me to make it up to you?"

A gleam passed through Bai Shuci’s eyes, he said eagerly, "You go make another copy of that USB flash drive, and give it to me, Nian Nian, I really need this item to secure a foothold in the Bai Family!"

Song Nian looked at Bai Shuci dumbfounded, she didn’t know how to respond to him, and after a while, she said helplessly, "Shuci brother...I can’t get that USB drive anymore, I can’t do what you’re asking."

"Is it that you can’t do it, or you simply don’t want to!" Bai Shuci’s expression became more ferocious.

He glared at Song Nian’s face, suddenly grasped her arm tightly, and with no pity, squeezed hard, "Do you have any idea how tough it has been for me to get where I am today! Those in the Bai Family all look down on me! Everyone looks down on me! That’s why I have to make them realize, I am the one worth caring about! I want to become the next head of the Bai Family, so that no one will look down on me again! Song Nian, you know exactly how much I have given for this day, why won’t you help me! How can you be so ruthless!"

Tears fell from Song Nian’s eyes, she kept shaking her head, chokingly said, "I can’t help you... Shuci... I’m sorry, I really can’t help you..."

The ferociousness on Bai Shuci’s face gradually turned cold.

He looked at Song Nian, his eyes assessing her, and suddenly sneered, "It doesn’t matter if you can’t help me, I shouldn’t have expected anything from you, Song Nian, there will always be others willing to help me!"

Before Song Nian even realized what Bai Shuci meant, he pulled out a dagger from somewhere and aimed it at her neck.

In the moment of the unexpected, more than fear, it was disbelief.

Song Nian couldn’t comprehend how two people who clearly cherished each other in the past had come to this.

Thus, at the moment the blade pressed against her neck, Song Nian felt more puzzled than anything.

Her eyes filled with confusion, she felt the almost imperceptible pain on her neck, and whispered, "You want to use me to threaten Lu Zhonian? Shuci, saying this won’t give you any results."

"Shut up!" Bai Shuci’s eyes turned bloodshot, and he fiercely said, "I hate your naïve, unworldly attitude the most! If Lu Zhonian didn’t like you, you would have been gobbled up in the Lu Family without even your bones remaining! Song Nian, I truly hate your simplicity!"

Song Nian’s lips trembled unconsciously, she said no more, and thought to herself, she seemed to understand why Lu Zhonian had asked her to see Bai Shuci.

Was it all to let her see what kind of person Bai Shuci is?

"I should have never taken pity on you, I should have taken the USB drive and run. I was delusional to even think about fleeing the country with you! I must be insane!" Bai Shuci gritted his teeth in fury, pressing the knife even closer to Song Nian, his voice cold with a warning, "From now on, do as I say, no tricks!"

Song Nian’s lips trembled and turned pale as she spoke in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Take me to see Lu Zhonian! Now! Immediately!"

Without any hesitation, Song Nian did as Bai Shuci instructed.

She had no room to refuse; with the knife at her throat, she realized her naivety.

In this world, aside from Lu Zhonian, no one cared whether she lived or died.

The two walked through the dark chamber and soon returned to Lu Zhonian’s location. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The man seemed unsurprised by the scene before him, looking at Bai Shuci with a cold sneer on his handsome and pale face, thick with irony, he slowly said, "Is this how you treat her? Is this what you meant when you said you’d take Song Nian away from the man-eating Lu Family?"

Bai Shuci’s face showed his disgrace, his rage and shame tightening his grip on the blade as he roared, "Give me the USB drive! Give it to me now!"

"Give it to you?" Lu Zhonian scoffed, "You plan to use Song Nian to make me trade my life and fortune for you, what makes you think Song Nian is worth that?"

Bai Shuxi also had doubts, acting on instinct, he brought the blade closer to Song Nian’s neck, quickly drawing blood.

Lu Zhonian, who had been at ease, changed his expression and said coldly, "If you dare hurt her, I assure you, even if you get what you want, you won’t make it out alive!"

Bai Shuci then realized his mistake and quickly moved the knife away.

However, Lu Zhonian’s reaction also sent a very favorable signal to Bai Shuci.

He let out a cold laugh, with a look of smug anticipation, "It seems Mr. Lu is still not ready to let Song Nian die."

"As long as Song Nian is alive, you stay alive." Lu Zhonian looked at Song Nian coldly, her eyes filled with tears, and as he watched, an inexplicable tightness squeezed his chest.

Bai Shuci lowered the knife, his lips pressed together, his voice cold, "I ask you, will you trade?"

Song Nian also stared blankly at Lu Zhonian.

Lu Zhonian smiled, regaining his initial detached composure, with supreme arrogance, "Trade, of course I’ll trade."

A subordinate presented a prepared USB drive, greed flashing in Bai Shuci’s eyes as he reached for it, but Lu Zhonian spoke again.

"Mr. Bai, you’ve been watching for quite a while, isn’t it time for you to come out?"

Bai Shuci’s face stiffened, he looked at Lu Zhonian in shock, and the next moment, an old man in a Sun Yat-sen suit emerged from behind a folding screen in the dark.

His face was gloomy, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Bai Shuci, his anger uncontainable, "Unfilial son!"
