nished by Jian Tong's beauty at this moment... This kind of beauty, carrying the madness of despair, was like the last struggle of a condemned man. He was so astonished that he forgot to breathe.Three...“

"Yes, he should be in the hospital." Kane let out a sudden chuckle, laced with irony. "Nobody's afraid of death."

When it comes to this point, a wise person, upon hearing just this one sentence, can guess what will happen next.

Unfortunately, Lu Chen was a smart person.

Her thin lips curled up in a bored way, "Oh~ I see."

One sentence, "I understand," already explained that he knew what was happening.

"It's all for survival, isn't it He came to beg that sister of his to save his life... Heh~ Quite the desperate move. Why not consider what kind of frail body that sister has She can barely keep herself alive, how could she possibly donate bone marrow"

Lu Chen's words were laced with a hint of sharpness, a cold sneer; "Now you come begging, what did you do back then"

"At first"

Kane wasn't quite sure.

Lu Chen meaningfully swept over Kane's knife-carved, deeply handsome face: "How Don't you know She went to jail."

Kane nodded, of course he knew that.

Then you should know that the Jian family abandoned her at her most difficult time, completely severing ties.

Now that you're in need, you come crawling back to me with your face plastered on.

Actually, if the Jian family members could just show a little bit of humanity and pay some attention to Jian Tong, many things might have been avoided.

For example, a missing kidney.

Kane is not Chinese, but he agrees with Lu Chen's statement that the truth is the same for people of all nationalities.

If the Jian family had visited Jian Tong even once while he was imprisoned, they would have known his situation.

The Shen family's influence is naturally not to be underestimated, but the Jian family has been rooted in city S for a long time and is also an old-fashioned wealthy family. It cannot be called a prominent family, but it is not without a foundation.

But if any member of the Jian family had ever been to prison, even once, perhaps things could have been different.

"So... there was such a backstory." Kane recalled the woman's reaction to Jian Mo Bai in the office today. Suddenly, it dawned on him like a revelation, understanding the complex emotions in her eyes that he had almost missed at the time.

She hid very well, but at that time, Jian Mo cursed the sky and the earth, blaming and cursing her. All eyes were on this one-sided rant.

And he, at that very moment when the woman lowered her gaze, clearly caught a glimpse of the myriad emotions swirling and intertwining in her eyes.

He glanced deeply at Lu Chen, pondered for a few seconds, and almost immediately made a decision—succinctly mentioning what happened at the Jian family to Lu Chen.

"I said, I trust her, no matter what anyone else says."

Lu Chen didn't draw a conclusion, asking faintly, "Then what"

“She thanked me,” Kane said, stifling a laugh as he covered his forehead. “I didn’t want her thanks. Old man, you wouldn’t believe it, when she said those two words to me, I panicked. But even now, I still can’t figure out why I was so flustered back then, even running away in a hurry.”

Kane didn't notice, Lu Chen swiftly narrowed his brows to conceal the fleeting pain in his eyes.

Bang~

He sprang to his feet suddenly, with such force that even the leather armchair he was sitting in shifted slightly. Lu Chen stood rigidly, forcing a smile as his gaze locked onto Kane across from him.

"Listen, it's time to let go."

Kane's eyelids twitched, he opened his mouth to ask why, but Lu Chen had already turned and strode away.

"No!" Kane abruptly stood up from the lounge chair, turning to Lu Chen's back and shouting with sudden agitation, "I don't believe it!"

Lu Chen didn't stop, he just faced away from Kane, shaking his head slightly and letting out a soft chuckle.

Three years ago, I didn't trust her. I thought I knew what kind of woman she was and presumptuously labeled her.

Chen, aren't you Chinese people saying "To err is human, to forgive divine"

Now, I will never again unilaterally impose my own labels and judgments on this woman. I trust her! Whatever others say!

Kane's voice, unwavering and resolute, reached Lu Chen's ears.

Lu Chen lifted his right foot that was in mid-air, paused for three seconds, and the next moment, stepped out again. He walked backwards facing Kane, saying as he went:

You'll know.

You'll know... As for what you'll know.

Lu Chen didn't say anything.

Cain was still in this already predetermined outcome, unable to see clearly, naturally so... just like... just like him back then.

Lu Chen's lips curled into a bitter smile.

"Chen!" Kane chased after him, yelling urgently, "Make yourself clear! What do you know Chen! Old friend! You have to make things clear before you leave!"

Kane's anxiety was clearly conveyed to Lu Chen. He abruptly stopped and turned sideways, pondering for a moment before saying, "Kane, my old friend. If you absolutely need me to give you some advice.

Then I suggest you... really, sincerely, go and apologize.

"Then, never see her again."

Lu Chen ignored Kane, who was frozen in place. He turned and strode away, disappearing around the corner as if he had never been there. Kane, his old friend, hadn't even realized that his trust and respect three years ago were invaluable, something Jian Tong craved desperately. As for today, three years later… This old friend of his, Kane Felocchi, had made the most foolish mistake — always giving the most important things at the wrong time.

Then, everything became unimportant.

Chapter 289: Rising Suspicions

With weariness etched on her face, Jian Tong drove her car to the foot of the residential building. However, instead of going to the underground parking lot, she remained seated in her vehicle, hesitant to get out. She rolled down the windows halfway, leaned her head out, and gazed up at the upper floors.

That house was brightly lit.

Before Shen Xiujin moved in, it was often dark and gloomy.

Now the lights were on, showing that someone was waiting for her to return home.

But why was she so resistant

That day was very chaotic, Kane Ferrell and Jian Mo Bai rushed from one battlefield to another. Home, the most private place, she didn't feel the urge to go back.."A caress is the beginning of seduction," he murmured, his voice a low rumble laced with amusement. His fingertip traced her neck, but didn't descend further, merely scratching lightly and erraticall...
