“Boss, Ning Zhi is leaving too.” After Jin Yu responded, Ning Zhi also departed.
Jin Yu looked at Su Chenbi on the bed, his underwear pulled down to his ankles, a few pieces of clothing hanging on him. Jin Yu walked over to straighten his clothes.
When Jin Yu’s cold skin touched him, Su Chenbi stiffened briefly, then became unresponsive again. His calm face showed no emotion, and the only sign of life was his still-beating heart. Su Chenbi had not received guests for several months, which was unprecedented among brothel boys.
Ning Zhi had been trying to help Jin Yu, though she was unsure of his motives. Despite her dislike for being manipulated, she didn’t blame him after learning about Su Xi’s pregnancy due to a drug. Jin Yu suspected Ning Zhi’s involvement but acknowledged that his actions weren’t entirely harmful.
Jin Yu knew secrets might have been uncovered by Jin Mo, and she needed to resolve matters before his return, especially concerning Su Chenbi, who could no longer stay at Yanhua Zui.
Upon her arrival at Yanhua Zui, Jin Yu was surprised to find Ke He there, presumably due to her connection to Su Chenbi. The stillness in the room was unnerving as she looked at the motionless Su Chenbi.
“Do you regret what happened back then?” Jin Yu asked softly, her voice barely breaking the silence.
Su Chenbi trembled, meeting her gaze with uncertainty, his lips moving soundlessly as he seemed lost in thought.
Su Chenbi had gone missing after a ransom a few days prior. When Ke He returned to Yanhua Zui, she met the grim result of that situation, and despite her persistent queries, no one knew the ransom’s source.
Ke He felt anxious and uncertain about facing her husband.
Her husband had just given birth and couldn’t bear another blow. Seeing him well each day filled her with happiness. If she hadn’t saved Su Jin, he might have met the same fate as Chenbi. Fortunately, they had escaped their pursuers.
After Su Chenbi was ransomed, a complex look flashed in Ning Zhi’s eyes. He laughed sarcastically. Others might not know who ransomed Chenbi, but he did. He always felt the boss’s feelings for Chenbi were different and wondered about their past. The boss should not have known Su Chenbi before.
