headfirst down the steps. The rain poured down, she sprinted to the roadside and waved down a taxi."Are you alright, miss" the taxi driver looked at the woman in the back seat whose face was as pale a...He said it himself, he's tired of this game, he's tired of me!"

Jian Tong's voice grew increasingly agitated: "From the start, I knew it was a mistake.

"

Everything starts with one mistake after another.

What do you know now"

"Yes, I don't know anything! I only ask you, Jian Tong, do you still love him"

"... " Jian Tong stopped abruptly.

Does she still love him

"...All I want is to spend the rest of my life peacefully."

"See, you hesitated." Su Meng, like a conqueror laying siege to a city, seized upon this point and began to gradually lay siege to the woman:

"I'm just asking you, if you still love him, and you hesitate. "

Do you really know yourself

In my view, Jian Tong, you're just running away, constantly choosing to run.

Three years ago, you went to great lengths to escape.

You still haven't made any progress, you're still running away.

Is Erhai your dreamland

Can Erhai Lake bring you peace

Then, I'll have to be frank.

If you can only find peace by staying at Erhai Lake, it means your heart has never truly been peaceful and has never let go.

If you really don't care about anything anymore,

Forgotten everything, saw nothing.

Wherever your heart finds peace, there is tranquility.

Why just one Erhai Lake!

Why bother with a trip to Dali, Yunnan!

You're such a coward, always running away.

Well, three years in prison, has it scared you into never stopping to look around again Never stopping to look at the people around you, the things happening around you, the scenery around you

Would it frighten you so that you would never dare to look into your own heart again

"Or are you still frightened like a startled bird, running around in fear"

Jian Tong trembled all over, her face drained of color. "Don't say any more! Please don't say any more!"

Su Meng's words, like a gramophone, kept playing endlessly in her mind. She wanted to press the stop button, but she found that the button was malfunctioning.

Chapter 329: Jian Tong, you've always only known how to escape.

Jian Tong, Erhai is not a pure land. The peace you think you have found is just your escape.

”

Su Meng said solemnly.

She shouldn't have said those things, but she saw some things that those inside didn't.

It is said that onlookers are clear, perhaps this is not true.

But she saw, Jian Tong's hesitation.

Three years ago, she helped Jian Tong escape, truly hoping she could live a peaceful life from then on.

In three years, what has passed isn't only time, but also her maturity.

Because she was so mature, she also constantly reflected on herself.

In the end, three years ago, helping Jian Tong escape, was that right or wrong.

Faintly, she thought, she had made a mistake.

This woman, already a startled bird, how could she possibly stop and look at the people and things around her.

Over three years, she also saw Shen Xiujin's relentless search. Everyone said, "Give up, don't look anymore. Jian Tong may have already passed away, who knows"

If not deceased, why after three years of relentless searching, am I still unable to find them

But the man refused to believe it, kept searching. Besides seeking what he yearned for in his heart, there was only work left in his life.

What she saw was, the once-celebrated man, who had been invincible, that man who had never backed down from anything, lowered his proud head for something he held dear in his heart.

She could faintly see his seriousness and determination, but not Shen Xiujin's playfulness.

All this, she had once craved intensely in another man, a longing that lasted her whole life and remained unfulfilled.

But Jian Tong was different.

The happiness she couldn't obtain, perhaps Jian Tong could give it to her. She and Jian Tong had similar experiences in the past, those unfortunate events, maybe in Jian Tong, would come to an end.

She also admitted that she was biased.

But more importantly, what she saw wasn't Jian Tong's indifference or her complete letting go. It was Jian Tong's escape.

If the woman in front of her had truly let go, completely and from the bottom of her heart, then these words would forever remain hidden in her heart, never to be spoken aloud.

But, obviously not.

"Constantly running, running, running, does your heart have any attachments Can you let go" Su Meng's question struck Jian Tong like thunder, leaving him restless and agitated.

She covered her ears: "Don't say anything, nothing at all."

Su Meng's hand forcefully pulled away Jian Tong who was covering her ears: "He's sick, he's dying."

In an instant, the world fell silent.

Without Su Meng needing to pull Jian Tong's hand down, she was already dumbfounded.

" ...I, I'm going to the airport, my flight will be delayed."

"He has something growing in his head, for over a year now. And now, it's terminal." Su Meng said to herself.

"I, I really have to go to the airport."

She hurried to leave.

This time, Su Meng didn't go to stop him. She called out to the back that had hurried five meters away:

"He chose to have surgery. Brain surgery is already very complex, and his condition was bad. The success rate was less than 5 percent."

"Enough!" Jian Tong stopped. "Here we go again Did he send you"

Back then, in Italy, he claimed to have a brain hemorrhage. How many times does he plan to play dumb

"Only a fool would fall for it again!"

"Well," Su Meng smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, you Jian Tong aren't a fool! You go now!"

Su Meng said, “No, it’s not leaving, it’s running away. A deserter.”

Jian Tong, you must escape as quickly as possible, flee as far away as you can. Flee from what makes you unable to face it head-on. I want to ask you, is it him that you fear facing, or is it your own heart

Don't worry. This time, Shen Xiujin won't bother you again, not at all.

Little Timmy, do what you do best, run away!

Having said that, Su Meng turned and left.

She didn't know if she was angry, or maybe, she wasn't angry at all, just feeling regret in her heart.

It was as if she herself couldn't have a happy ending.

In her eyes, there was one filled with remorse for doing wrong and a determination to make amends, while the other was frightened and heartbroken, flitting about like a headless fly.

She wasn't afraid of what Shen Xiujin would do, she was afraid that one day, Jian Tong, that foolish woman, would wake up and spend her whole life consumed by regret. Perhaps that foolish woman wouldn't say it out loud, but in her heart, the pain would be even more intense.hter of the Jian family.She dared not think about it anymore, dared not dwell on those ever-increasing details.The woman in the passenger seat could no longer maintain her composure.On that delicate f...
