Song Cheng’s voice came through the cell phone loudly and Qiao Lian could hear every word he said .

Her pupils shrank as she saw Shen Liangchuan’s grip on the cell phone tighten .
He pursed his lips and said to Song Cheng, “I’ll be there right away . ”
Immediately, he hung up the phone and turned to go .
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Qiao Lian got up and threw on some clothes, then dashed out of the bedroom after Shen Liangchuan .
As she opened the front door, she saw that Shen Liangchuan’s car was about to leave the villa .
Taking as many big strides as she could manage, she ran up to the car, pulled open the passenger seat door and got into the vehicle .
Clearly, Shen Liangchuan had not expected her to come along .
The car pulled to a momentary stop as he turned to look at her .

But she was looking straight ahead and said, “Hurry up, we don’t have time!”
Song Yuanxi was threatening to kill herself .
Qiao Lian had a bad premonition about this .
She did not know if Song Yuanxi was serious about killing herself, or if this was just emotional blackmail to get her own way .
Qiao Lian was not a scheming person, but Song Yuanxi contrarily had a hidden agenda .
She was worried about Shen Liangchuan facing her on his own, he might just fall into one of her little ploys .
Besides, if he was sending Song Yuanxi abroad because of her, she wanted to be by his side to show that she was going to be there through thick and thin .
Shen Liangchuan seemed to understand her intention from the look in her eyes . He pursed his lips and wordlessly stepped on the accelerator, driving off at high speed .

The sky had darkened, and there was the rare occasion of traffic being smooth in Beijing .
From the villa it took them only 20 minutes to get to the hospital .
They ran through many red lights along the way, but they finally arrived .
The car drove directly into the hospital grounds and immediately, they saw a chaotic scene .
A crowd had gathered around to watch the dramatic event .
The police had arrived and were setting up an air cushion below the building .
Some people were looking up at the top of the building .
Following their gaze, Qiao Lian saw that on the rooftop of the building there was a girl in a white hospital gown standing there .

The night wind was quite strong, so her gown was billowing around her . Her frail figure looked as though it would be swept away by the wind at any moment—it was a ghastly sight to behold .
Qiao Lian’s heart pounded . She turned around and realized that Shen Liangchuan, who had been next to her a moment ago, had dashed towards the elevators .
Without another word, Qiao Lian gritted her teeth and ran after him .
The wind on the rooftop was more fierce than on the ground . There was a bone-chilling iciness as it whistled around them .
The moment they stepped on the rooftop, their bodies were numb with the cold .
In her hurry to leave the house, Qiao Lian had only worn a sweater over her clothes, thus the wind easily penetrated it, causing her to shake in the freezing temperatures .
However, Song Yuanxi was wearing only a thin hospital gown and she stood there steadily, as though she felt nothing .
There was a policeman in front of her holding a handset and he was trying to talk her around . However, she did not seem to register a word he was saying . She looked spaced-out and had a determined expression .
Shen Liangchuan strode close to where she was and shouted, “Song Yuanxi! What do you think you’re doing?”
His voice was dispersed by the howling wind .
However the moment Song Yuanxi heard his voice, her attention was caught and she seemed to come back to life .
With her eyes lit up, she turned to Shen Liangchuan and her eyes reddened at once . “Brother Liangchuan!”
Shen Liangchuan drew in a deep breath . His heart was now in his throat .
He glared at her and called out, “Come over here at once!”
Song Yuanxi shook her head . “No! I don’t want to live anymore!”
Shen Liangchuan frowned and asked, “Why?”
“Because you no longer want me around . There’s no need for me to keep living!”
