Shen Nianzu had not even had the chance to rejoice over the fact that Gu Luoxin had been found, when he received the news of the young man's grievous and life-threatening injuries. The healing prop was useless, and Gu Luoxin did not have much time left.
The second Shen Nianzu digested the news, his mind buzzed and the ringing in his ears were so loud he could no longer hear anything else.
How could this be? He thought numbly. How could it be Xinxin, of all people…
No, it was not supposed to end like this. He refused…. he vehemently refused to accept this kind of outcome!
Gritting his teeth, Shen Nianzu forced himself to regain his bearings, and the first thing he did was to kill the thin man so he could harvest the latter's free pass. He had originally planned to keep the man alive and used him as leverage to get back at Shang, letting him have the taste of his own medicine, but none of it mattered anymore.
