Chapter 401: Past Life (Part 2) — I Won’t Let You Be Alone

Facing the increasingly intense worry in Chen Han’s eyes, Shen Chi’s heart never felt right.

In his life, proud and confident, even when facing formidable enemies, he never compromised or retreated. How could he have anticipated that he would end up in such a situation?

Twisted and filthy, he wanted to end himself.

But he couldn’t. His lifelong goal was within reach, and even for the sake of Wanwan not being implicated after his death, he couldn’t allow his efforts to fail now.

Xu Meimei seemed to have gained Dong Fei’s trust considerably. After she was "employed" by her, Dong Fei unexpectedly lowered her guard against him. Feeling relieved, he grew more determined to make full use of this chess piece.

Because of Xu Meimei’s resemblance to him, everytime he faced her, Shen Chi couldn’t help but become absent-minded. In her eyes, it looked like his feelings for her were deepening, and she became more hopelessly devoted to him.

By using her, Shen Chi managed to bypass Dong Fei’s watchful eyes several times and complete the initial setups.

In just two years, Xu Meimei had placed herself in the heart of the household, assuming the role of the future Admiral’s Wife. Although Shen Chi found it annoying, he let her be.

After all, with her around, many tasks became more convenient for him.

Sometimes, when he saw her eyes brimming with happiness and satisfaction, the thought of her despair upon learning the truth gave rise to a twisted and sick pleasure in Shen Chi’s heart.

In 2014, just as his plan was nearing perfection, he drank too much at a banquet and almost made a grave mistake.

Looking at Wanwan, who was sitting on the curb not far away, still shaken, a heavy sense of panic and fear rose within Shen Chi.

How could this happen?

He stared blankly at his hand on the steering wheel...

Having not seen Wanwan for several years, even though Xu Meimei had been easing his mental and emotional states, he still couldn’t help wanting to sneak a glance at her.

Thereby, he secretly discovered her whereabouts, drove out alone without anyone accompanying him, just to be able to see her from a distance.

But... how could he have driven into her!?

If he had not regained his senses at the last moment and turned the steering wheel in time, Wanwan would now be...

A devouring chill engulfed Shen Chi completely, and the time bomb in his head stirred once again. In his blurred consciousness, he saw her sitting on a flower bed nearby, bending down to rub her ankle with a pained expression on her face...

No more; he couldn’t get close to her anymore.

That’s what he told himself.

For several days in a row, Shen Chi was on edge, occasionally checking his location, fearing he would once again lose control and seek out Wanwan.

Even the covert attention he had never ceased paying to Wanwan, he instructed Chen Han not to inform him unless something happened to her.

She could too easily unsettle his state of mind; he had to think of a way, think of a way...

Just when Shen Chi was in a state of extreme anxiety, Xu Meimei, who had returned from shopping, appeared before him. Desperate, he nearly dragged her into the bedroom.

Although Xu Meimei was initially startled, she quickly became excited. After all, except for the first time, Shen Chi had never touched her again.

Her heart was filled with joy, but Shen Chi was intent on using her to dispel the uncontrollable malevolence in his heart towards Wanwan.

Other than Wanwan, the only one who could affect him was the "kindred" Xu Meimei. The fact that Shen Chi would consider such an absurd way of addressing the problem indicated how terrified he had become.

Because he knew that only when Xu Meimei felt happiest now, the more painful and desperate she would feel when all the truths were uncovered. Only in this way could he suppress the twisted mentality of wanting to kill Wanwan and eliminate his panic at the fear of losing her.

Throughout the process, Shen Chi was like a man possessed, his gaze unfocused, lifeless like a walking corpse having lost his soul.

And yet, his heart mourned the growing distance between himself and Wanwan.

The aftermath was that Shen Chi fell ill the next day, his condition aggressive with a non-abating high fever, deliriously muttering nonsense in his coma.

Both Chen Han and Xu Meimei were scared out of their wits, but fortunately, he had overcome brain cancer, so a mere fever surely wouldn’t take his life.

But in Chen Han’s eyes, Shen Chi seemed to have lost half his soul; his eyes became completely lifeless. Recalling the scene he had found in Shen Chi’s bedroom when he discovered the fever, he could guess what had happened but found himself at a loss as to how to guide him.

Lin Xiaoguai had long been a sanctuary in Shen Chi’s heart, and this Chen Han had known for a very long time.
