The hand tightened my neck inch by inch, and the air I breathed in was extremely thin, I was almost suffocating.

Qiao Yu desperately grabbed Jiang Yuchuan's big hand: "You and Shen Yin...had a child...do you really not remember? The child's name is...Jiang Bei..."

Jiang Bei?

Jiang Yuchuan had a splitting headache. After slightly releasing the force in his hands, Qiao Yu pushed him away violently, gasping for breath.

Jiang Yuchuan was pushed and fell to the edge of the bed, slightly hunched over, his face pale and tense.

Those fragmented memories were like an airtight net that bound him tightly and imprisoned him.

"Jiang Bei...how did that child die?"

After calming down for a moment, Qiao Yu looked at him defensively and said, "It was your sister Jiang Wan who hired someone to kill her. The child was only three months old in Shen Yin's belly, and because of that car accident that was premeditated murder, two lives were almost lost. The child is gone, Shen Yin has survived a near-death experience, and she has been left infertile for life."

"I don't know why in your memory, Shen Yin became the murderer who killed Jiang Wan. It's probably because after Shen Yin recovered her memory from the car accident, she told Bo Hanshi that Jiang Wan killed my adoptive mother."

"Shen Yin is very smart. She does have her own selfish motives. She also knows that according to Bo Hanshi's character, if he knew about this, he would not let Jiang Wan have an easy time. She borrowed Bo Hanshi's knife to avenge herself and your child."

"Because Jiang Wan is your biological sister, she knows that you are soft-hearted and can't do it. Between her and the child and your sister Jiang Wan, Jiang Yuchuan, ask yourself, was there a time, even just one time, when you stood firmly on the side of Shen Yin and the child without hesitation?"

"If you had not protected Jiang Wan and stood firmly on Shen Yin's side, I don't think Shen Yin would have gone to inform Bo Hanshi alone. She and Bo Hanshi didn't have much friendship. If you could make the decision for her and avenge her and your child, even if you had to take Jiang Wan to surrender, then Shen Yin might not divorce you, let alone leave you."

"As for Jiang Wan, even if she had killed several people, if you had not been so indulgent in letting her go and forced her to surrender in advance, she would most likely not have died at the hands of Bo Hanshi."

"Jiang Yuchuan, you chose to be where you are today. No one forced you. You are now deserted and alone. It's not that the people around you wanted to leave, but you forced them to leave with your own hands."

"How did you treat Shen Yin when she loved you the most? You protected the murderer who almost killed her, deceived her into marriage, and personally wiped out her last feelings for you. You always say that you envy me and Bo Han, but Shen Yin loved you like that too, and you just couldn't catch it."

"You were the one who forced Shen Yin to leave and pushed Bo Hanshi away. I don't know how you felt when you broke up with Bo Hanshi, but I remember very clearly that Bo Hanshi was actually very sad. Even though he didn't say it, I know that he even regretted it in his heart. If he had left a little leeway for Jiang Wan, wouldn't you have to go to this point today?"

"I know you might not believe it. But after you severed ties with him, you cashed out 10 billion and left SY without incident. Do you think it was because you did it cleanly? Later, you used tricks to poach SY's executives. Do you think Bo Hanshi didn't know it was you?"

She stated these facts without emotion, and each word was like a sharp blade, stabbing Jiang Yuchuan so hard that even breathing was painful.

He stood there frozen. There was no response for a long while, and everything was dead silent.

Qiao Yu added: "It is because he feels guilty about you that he tolerates you again and again. Just like now, even if you treat me like this, he won't really do anything to you. Because in his heart, you were once his brother whom he had carefully maintained for more than ten years. No matter how harsh he is to you, he still gave you the opportunity to stab him in the back. He handed the knife to you, and if you stabbed him, he would choose to take it until he thinks that he doesn't owe you anything."

Jiang Yuchuan sat there hunched over, immersed in the darkness, depressed and dejected.

His face was lowered.

Qiao Yu couldn't see his expression, he just took a deep breath and said:

"Of course you can destroy me now without any regard for the consequences. If you destroy me, it means you will destroy Bo Hanshi. But Jiang Yuchuan, are you sure that after you have ruined your friendship with him for more than ten years, you will get the slightest bit of happiness?"

He didn't know how long it took to digest.

Perhaps they are unwilling to accept these facts, or they are trying to avoid or not dare to, and force themselves to continue making mistakes.

He raised his pale face, looked at Qiao Yu coldly and mocked, "You said these high-sounding words, you think you can move me, you think I will let you go because of our old feelings, right?"

"I never thought you would let me go. You can drag me to die with you, but in that case, what does Shen Yin mean? You said you liked me before. Does liking someone mean you destroy that person? So you love Shen Yin, and you let her become fragmented and disappointed in your relationship. Jiang Yuchuan, I used to think you were soft-hearted and cowardly, but now I think you are a hateful and pitiful creature. You use such a dirty and despicable way to retain the feelings of those around you, but the more you do this, the less you can hold on to anything."

"Have you said enough? If you have, get out!"

Qiao Yu's words seemed to poke his lungs. He waved his hand and the things on the bedside table fell, including the jar of soothing incense with strange origins. The powder scattered all over the floor and the fragrance floated in the air, rich and fragrant.

Qiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the master bedroom. As soon as he took out his cell phone, he received a message from Bo Hanshi.

【Come out, I'm nearby. 】

He had been eavesdropping on the other end and knew what was going on.

Qiao Yu glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door upstairs and quickly walked out of the villa. Just as she was about to ask Bo Han where he was, a dark shadow suddenly fell in front of her eyes. She was forcefully pulled into a chest. Before she could even see the other person's face clearly, she was swept into the car.

Smelling that familiar cold breath, Qiao Yu's body, which had been tense and fearful all night, relaxed in an instant. She buried her face in his arms and hugged Bo Hanshi's waist tightly.

Bo Hanshi's voice suddenly rang out from above his head: "Are you scared now? When you angered Lao Jiang just now, did you ever think that he might accidentally strangle you to death?"

Although Qiao Yu tried her best to restrain herself, her whole body couldn't stop shaking slightly in his arms.

If Jiang Yuchuan had used a more fatal blow just now, she would have suffocated to death.

It would be a lie to say you are not afraid.

While Bo Hanshi was blaming her, he couldn't help but feel distressed. The arms he held around her unconsciously tightened a little, pressing her into his arms to give her enough sense of security.

He bent his head to check her neck.

His cool fingertips touched the red marks on her neck. When he wanted to scold her, he saw her panicked look and finally sighed softly, "Does it hurt? Will you dare to do it again in the future?"

I saw her pursing her lips and not saying anything.

He pressed the mark with his fingertips. Qiao Yu frowned slightly: "It hurts."

Bo Hanshi gently held the back of her neck, examined her carefully, and sighed: "You know it hurts, so do you want to come home with me?"

"..."

Qiao Yu took out a small bag from his pocket and stuffed it into his palm. "I did get something. I found it in Jiang Yuchuan's bedroom. It has a special fragrance when it is lit. It seems to make people hallucinate and interfere with memory if you smell it for a long time. Ask Song Huai to test what it is."
