Yang Sitong nearly suffocated as her face turned frightfully pale. It was only after a moment or so that she finally recovered to her senses, then roared out in both rage and despair, “DON’T THINK THAT I’M GOING TO BELIEVE YOU JUST LIKE THAT!”

Impossible… IMPOSSIBLE!

How could this swimming coach be Lu Yanchen’s ex-girlfriend? NO!

Unable to believe everything, Yang Sitong screamed out endlessly. However, Shi Guang had already left.

Not getting any response had Yang Sitong’s face flushed completely red as she trembled out in rage while shrieking even more shrilly.

“SHI GUANG! YOU SL*T! YOU HAD BETTER COME BACK!”

“ARGH! I SWEAR THAT I’M NOT A YANG IF I LET YOU OFF AFTER THIS!”

“YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE LU YANCHEN IS BACKING YOU, I CAN’T DO ANYTHING TO YOU? EVEN IF I CAN’T RUIN YOU, I’LL LAY WASTE TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! TO LU YANCHEN, THEY ARE NOTHING BUT STRANGERS!”

“SOMEONE, ANYONE! HELP ME!”

…

The fact that there were not many people at the carpark didn’t mean that there was completely no one at all.

A young woman came by the carpark to get her car. Given how loudly Yang Sitong was screaming, she naturally heard it. Heading over to the storeroom carefully, she asked warily, “Who? Who’s there?”

Seeing how there was a response outside, Yang Sitong called out excitedly, “I’m Yang Sitong! Someone locked me in this storeroom! Can you please help me open the door?”

For anyone who could afford to come to hmoc, they naturally came from rather decent family backgrounds. As such, the woman naturally knew who Yang Sitong was.

While frowning, she walked over toward the storeroom. But suddenly, a tall figure stepped out from behind a pillar nearby. The robust man looked at her from his side, his gaze dark and chilling.

The girl froze up momentarily and stopped in her tracks…

Yang Sitong had initially thought that she was about to be let free. But who knew that after that single question, there was no other response.

Naturally, no one came to open the door for her.

After another short silence, she could not help but scream out once more, “Where are you? Whoever is outside, please save me!”

There was no response. It was as though the female voice she had heard earlier on was nothing but a figment of her imagination.

Hope gradually turned into despair, then into fright and uneasiness.

She thumped against the door desperately, causing the rats within the storeroom to scurry around, scaring her into screaming out, “AHHHH!!!”

“Is there anyone outside?! Please save me! Anyone!”

“If you save me out, I can give you as much money as you want!”

“Anyone! Please save me!”

She screamed out endlessly. But, even as her throat was going hoarse, she got no response.

Time ticked down by the seconds and minutes. After being in the pitch black storeroom for so long, her eyes were starting to get used to the darkness. However, being able to see her surroundings only served to have her feel even more afraid and flustered.

Eventually, she could no longer scream anymore as she slumped down onto the ground in a state of helpless despair.

She did not know how long it had been when a sound drifted over from outside.

It was as though someone was outside! Surprised, Yang Sitong stood up in astonishment. She then caught sight of a tall and robust man opening the door. It was none other than… Lu Yanchen!

As though she had just seen her savior, she burst out into tears and lunged forward. “Yanchen, you’ve come for me!”

The moment Lu Yanchen caught sight of her lunging out, he pushed her away, causing her weak and fragile body to fly onto the ground.

Sprawled, she looked at Lu Yanchen with misty eyes and a wretched expression—there was an endless amount of astonishment and grievance she was holding onto in her heart.

But, it was at that moment that she realized… this man who was looking down on her was no longer doing so with his usual indifference.

His face was dark, and he was frowning all around.

Yang Sitong could feel her heart sinking.

Could he have been waiting outside the entire time? Could it be that there was really someone who was trying to save her earlier on but was chased away by him instead…?
