Upon hearing Xiao Bei’s words, Ji Hanyu’s hand holding the phone paused for a moment.

After a long time, Ji Hanyu asked, "What kind of virus?"

Xiao Bei also paused for a long time before saying, "Why don’t you come over to my place?"

Ji Hanyu hung up the phone. As he grabbed his car keys and pushed the door open to leave, he cast a deeply complex look at Bai Haoxue, who was sleeping on the bed.

Walking into the hallway, he heard little Beiting in his room, still asking Little Wolf Child to continue playing chess.

Ji Hanyu then went over to order them to go to sleep immediately.

Little Beiting was startled and quickly shrank under the quilt, instructing Little Wolf Child to turn off the lights.

Before Little Wolf Child could get off the bed, Ji Hanyu had already walked in to turn off the lights for them.

After the lights were off, Ji Hanyu still stood at the doorway for a while, until he heard the children’s deep breathing, and then he left.

It was now deep into the night, and the entire Snowfield Manor was quiet and serene. Yet, Ji Hanyu’s heart could not find peace...

Ji Hanyu increasingly sped up the car, his mind playing scenes like a film reel.

All the past torments and hurts, being tortured by that damn virus to a point of being neither human nor ghost, a fate worse than death, where he was like a blend of a madman and a demon flashed vividly.

They appeared in his mind with a vividness and clarity as if they had happened yesterday.

The tormenting indecision Bai Haoxue faced during her pregnancy, the despair and guilt when they lost the child, and the heartache...

All the negative emotions swept over him in an instant, like a surging tide.

By the roadside, under the dim streetlights, only his profound, complex, obscure, and enigmatic gaze could be seen.

Although not knowing this man, the myriad of emotions contained within his deep eyes made it easy to guess.

At this moment, this man’s emotions had reached an extreme complexity...

Though he seemed exceptionally calm, the increasing number of vehicles he left far behind and his unbelievably fast speed had already betrayed him...

Early the next morning, Bai Haoxue got up, puzzled not to see Ji Hanyu.

Lin Zhan came over and said, "Miss Haoxue, don’t worry, the Boss just went to see Divine Doctor Xiao. He’s already driven himself to the Group and asked me to take you to work first."

"You go to the Group first, I’ll drive myself," Bai Haoxue said. "Besides, I need to make a trip to the prison."

Lin Zhan nodded and drove to the Group.

In the prison of S City.

Bai Xiongan was now dressed in a prisoner’s uniform, his hair cut into the short style of a convict, looking nothing like the dignified and spirited director he used to be at Cheng Group.

Bai Xiongan’s final verdict had not yet been given. Although the evidence was conclusive, the review procedures were layered and lengthy.

However, the crime Bai Xiongan committed could either result in the death penalty or life imprisonment.

In this life, he was as good as done for.

Seeing Bai Haoxue, Bai Xiongan became very agitated, his twisted expression wishing he could break free from the handcuffs and strangle Bai Haoxue to death.

With a faint smile, Bai Haoxue was unfazed.

"You little bitch, what are you here for? I don’t want to see you, get out, get out..." Bai Xiongan’s emotions were very agitated. "Me being here today is all thanks to you, and you still dare to stand in front of me?"

Bai Haoxue: "Why wouldn’t I dare? You’re the one who’s guilty, you’re the one who made mistakes and killed, and you’re the one who deserves to die, and soon to be punished by the law. What could I possibly be afraid of?"
