Chapter 213 Bai Yi Jumps into the River
Bai Yi stared at the determination in her eyes. An unspeakable pain pierced her heart and spread to her limbs little by little, making her whole body stiff and even breathing became difficult.
After a moment, she questioned word by word: "Ning Yuechen, why do you treat me like this?"
Ning Yuechen was also a little tired at this time. She didn't want to stand on the streets of a foreign country like a madman and argue with this person. This would only make her hate herself more.
So he asked coldly, "You ask me why I treat you like this? Then have you ever asked yourself, what have you done to me? Why should I tolerate you in everything? You can find a girlfriend who likes you and lets you do whatever you want. Why do you have to pester me?!"
Her series of questions made Bai Yi's face even more gloomy and sad. When he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse: "Is this what you really mean?"
"Yes," Ning Yuechen answered her firmly and without any room for hesitation.
"Okay, okay, that's great."
Bai Yi said three "good" words in a row, with deep disappointment on her miserable face. After a few seconds of confrontation, she resolutely turned around and walked towards the bridge.
Ning Yuechen was startled and thought that this person would not really be provoked by her to jump into the river. She wished that this person would disappear from her world forever, but she still had to save Aunt Shi, and the only way was to stay with Bai Yi.
She wanted to take advantage of Bai Yi's deep affection for her to gain bargaining chips for negotiation with the other party, or to find a trick to directly bring down the Bai family's power.
But without Bai Yi, all this would be in vain.
So why was I arguing with this person just now? Couldn't I have just endured it? I was really asking for trouble.
Ning Yuechen was feeling annoyed when he saw that the person who had already walked to the bridge was now facing away from him, staring motionlessly at the surging river below, with no intention of jumping in. He felt a little relieved.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. She really overestimated her position in Bai Yi's heart. How could such a cold-blooded and perverted person do such a stupid thing as jumping into the river just because of a quarrel.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuechen walked forward and said, "Are you going to dance or not? If not, I will leave."
The person with his back turned around, his face slightly red from being too angry, full of coldness: "Ning Yuechen, do you really want me to jump from here?"
Ning Yuechen rationally told himself that he couldn't continue arguing like this, but he noticed the threat in the other person's eyes, and his temper, which had just subsided, instantly flared up.
He looked at her provocatively: "If you have the guts, just jump down, and I will just collect your body."
Bai Yi didn't say anything, just looked at her coldly. His red eyes were filled with sadness, but also with a hint of cruelty.
Ning Yuechen thought she was just trying to scare him, and began to sneer, "Bai Yi, you won't jump, because you can't let go of what you have worked so hard to achieve today. Power, status, and the Bai family are the most important things in your life, and I am just a pleasure for you when you are in a whim."
"What if I really jump down?" Bai Yi asked.
"I just said, if you jump, I will definitely collect your body, and then go to your grave every year to burn paper, which is the last bit of friendship we have."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Yi smiled. His smile was calm and cheerful, but it carried a strange bloodthirsty feeling that made Ning Yuechen feel a chill on his back.
While she was in a daze, she saw the other party's face continue to smile, and his voice was even calmer and colder: "Ning Yuechen, I am Shi Yu's daughter. No matter whether she cares about me or not, you are forcing me to death. Even if you can live with it on your conscience, can you really face her calmly in the future?"
Ning Yuechen's face turned pale instantly.
Bai Yi seemed very satisfied with her expression. His smile became even brighter. "I once asked Shi Yu why she loves you so much. Is it just because you are the orphan of her former lover? Guess what she answered?"
Stared at by her cold eyes filled with madness and bloodthirstiness, Ning Yuechen felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen, and his limbs were so stiff that he couldn't move.
Even in this trembling state dominated by fear, she could clearly hear the almost deafening heartbeat coming from her heart.
Bai Yi admired her fear with great satisfaction. She parted her red lips and spoke with arrogance in every word: "She said that you are not only Shen Zhinian's child, but also a kind little angel, the most perfect daughter in her heart. Her world is too dark and dirty, and she needs a pure and beautiful child like you to purify all the pain she has experienced."
"I, her biological daughter, can't give her the spiritual comfort she wants, but you can. So when Yu knew that I was forced to death by you, would she still love you so much? After all, she is the only relative you have in this world."
Ning Yuechen was already distracted by her words, and heard her mumbling, "You said that if I was forced to death by you, would Shi Yu still be able to continue to love you without any grudges? Or would my death awaken a trace of maternal love in her?"
She tried hard to regain her consciousness and was about to speak when she saw the person standing by the bridge jump down without any regrets.
Ning Yuechen froze in place and blinked. At that moment she could hardly believe her eyes. She even thought she was hallucinating for a moment. She didn't notice the nimble figures jumping down from both sides of the bridge.
When she finally realized what had happened, the person who had jumped into the river had disappeared without a trace, not even a trace of him landing on the surface of the river.
Ning Yuechen ran to the bridge with trembling legs and shouted out in a heart-wrenching voice: "Bai Yi."
But what responded to her was the river covered by endless darkness.
Five minutes later, Ning Yuechen squatted by the bridge, watching another rescue team going down to search for people. His face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood. He was so dazed that he could not speak. He could only hug himself tightly as he kept shaking.
She forced Bai Yi to jump into the river, and several minutes passed without him being found. The best outcome might be to fish out his body, but how should she explain all this to Aunt Shi?
She forced Aunt Shi's daughter to death, and Bai Yi was gone. What should she do? What should she do?
Ning Yuechen hugged herself even tighter. Her stomach suddenly churned and she didn't even have the strength to get up. She just started retching.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when she finally got rid of the unspeakable stomach cramps, she vaguely heard the rescuers who had already reached the shore discussing something in a low voice.
She tried to regain consciousness and heard them say in English: "The river is too deep, the chance of finding it is too small."
"Based on previous cases, the probability of finding it is indeed too small."
"It's been 20 minutes. The person is already dead. There's no hope. We can only come back tomorrow."
Ning Yuechen listened to their whispered discussion and suddenly felt dizzy. The next moment, everything went black and he completely lost consciousness.
