Chapter 399: Previous Life (Mid) - To Love Deeply Is Madness

Many people face such a choice—if the person you love does not love you, do you set her free or keep her imprisoned by your side?

But the choice Shen Chi faced was far more than just that. When he realized that Liu Yuzhi’s attention had fallen on Lin Xiaoguai, between continuing to imprison her at the risk of her life and divorcing her to shift Liu Yuzhi’s attention from her, he struggled and hesitated for a long time and still chose the latter.

He had thought about simply giving up on everything and ending his life with Wanwan, but for one, he was too proud to flee and was not willing to accept such a defeated end. And secondly... he had already coerced Wanwan once, how could he be willing to force her again?

He planned to take care of Liu Yuzhi first, then find a way to win Wanwan back.

Meanwhile, Wanwan’s emotions were stretched to the limit; he needed to give her a quiet, free interval to relax.

However, many things in this world do not go as you wish.

With the death of Han Kuang, and Han Shouxin being crippled in his legs after the loss of his wife, his future was utterly ruined, Liu Yuzhi’s actions became increasingly unrestrained. Han Shouyi was incompetent, only knowing how to do experiments in the research institute; to say that he seized the power of the Han Family would be inaccurate, it was more like it was controlled by Liu Yuzhi and her daughter-in-law Dong Fei.

What made Shen Chi wary of Liu Yuzhi was the power she held; a forceful grip can overpower clever schemes, and no matter how clever he was, he couldn’t confront her directly. However, she also had a weakness; her emotions were on a hair trigger, as long as he could control that, he could predict her actions. Truly speaking, she was just an ordinary woman, wishing her son well, hostile and oppressive to those who could damage her own interests, yet her actions lacked specific purpose.

Dong Fei, however, was different. This woman might not have great wisdom, but she was sinister and ruthless in achieving her goals. Looking at the things she did in private, it was clear she liked to exploit people’s vulnerabilities. Moreover, this woman was ambitious; under the current circumstances, which were all to her advantage, her ambition swelled to the brim.

His wariness towards her was far greater than towards the former.

Therefore, he dared not leave Wanwan under her watchful eyes.

Even though he was far away in Shanghai, the power of that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair was enough to reach him, and he gritted his teeth and fought his way up, putting in ten times the effort to grasp the power of the Capital Garrison in his hands.

During this time, he dared not appear before Wanwan, nor dared to openly check on her, only cautiously monitoring her from the shadows.

He was glad he did so; otherwise, while he was preoccupied with revenge preparations, he might have lost her without realizing it.

Even if for this, he almost paid with his life, he spared no effort.

This time, to protect Wanwan, who had once again appeared in the sights of Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei, Shen Chi spared no effort and thought.

And the revenge preparations he had made in secret were mostly ruined in the process; to make them again would take more than double the effort.

Fortunately, Shen Chi was always patient. Despite the difficulties, he had completed it once again.

But by then, he was already fifty-four, and too much time had passed between him and Wanwan. But he thought, as long as he could return to Wanwan’s side, it was worth it.

When he received that medical report, Shen Chi was dumbfounded for the first time in his life—brain cancer!? How could he have brain cancer?

He locked himself away alone for several days before coming out of his room, but even so, he was still lost about the future.

What did the doctor say?

—If he didn’t have surgery, he wouldn’t live beyond a year.

And what about with surgery?

Thinking of those patients he’d seen in the hospital, rendered foolish and mute from failed surgeries, Shen Chi’s gaze hardened—how could he let himself end up like that?

So apart from surgery, he complied with all the treatments the doctor recommended, daring not to slack off in the slightest.

To live longer, he must survive longer, at least not to die before his enemies.

But he knew, deep down, he was already despairing and weeping because he understood more than anyone that there was no future left for him and Wanwan.

Chen Han saw his situation and then handed him a file on in vitro fertilization.

On his first read of the file’s contents, Shen Chi was uncontrollably excited; although he had undergone a vasectomy, he’d heard it was possible to reverse the procedure. If he and Wanwan had their own child, would she be able to forgive him? Even if it was just for one last year, would Wanwan come back to his side?
