Chapter 359
It seemed as if Gong Shuzhe had aged twenty years in a blink of an eye when he spoke again with an exhausted
voice, “Zeyang…”
But Gong Zeyang did not bother with him. Instead, his attention was on Su Ziyue. He had carried a torch for her
since he was young, but his parents constantly reminded him that his future wife could only be a proper young lady
like Su Yige, and never Su Ziyue. And so, he kept away his feelings for her after that. But, he never thought that his
own father was the one who caused Su Yizi’s death.
Ignoring Gong Zeyang’s gaze on her, Su Ziyue cast Gong Shuzhe an indifferent look. “I want you to make a public
apology to clarify what happened back then, and turn yourself in.” This was what she had thought about from the
very beginning. If she ever found out the culprit who caused her father’s death, she had to make sure that the
world knew that her father was innocent.
But Gong Zeyang was stunned. Even now, the Gong Group still needed Gong Shuzhe’s support. If he was to be
jailed, not only would the Gong Family lose their reputation, he also could no longer support the Gong Group.
Moreover, Gong Zeyang felt sorry for his father, since he was already old. Taking a couple of steps toward her, he
said, “Ziyue, everything is in the past now. It’s true that my father made a mistake, but he treated you well over the
years. Can you bear to see him in jail at this age?”
Su Ziyue sneered. “He is old, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not liable for the murder. He caused the deaths of two
persons; he can’t get away with this.”
“You…” Gong Zeyang could only think about Gong Shuzhe at this moment, and he couldn’t heed any of her words

biological son of my father. Are you really sending him to jail because of a woman?”
Pulling Su Ziyue into his embrace, Qin Muchen circled his arm around her shoulders and squeezed her lightly in a
comforting manner. Then, he gave Gong Zeyang a cold stare. “I’m not doing this for one woman; I’m doing this for
two women.” Turning to face Gong Shuzhe, he said quietly, “The woman he killed, Qin Li, was my mother.”
Staggering a couple of steps backward, Gong Zeyang stared at his father, stupefied. With a tired expression, Gong
Shuzhe turned to Qin Muchen. “I can turn myself in, but I—”
Qin Muchen couldn’t be bothered with what he had to say after that, so he broke him off directly, “Not only do you
have to turn yourself in, but you’ll also have to make a public apology. Did you not understand what my wife just
said?”
Falling to his knees with a loud thud, Gong Shuzhe pleaded, “I’m begging you! Please let the Gong Group go. I’m
willing to turn myself in without making a public apology. Allow me some time to take care of the business in Gong
Group…”
Su Ziyue could feel Qin Muchen’s grip tightening on her shoulder and she turned, only to see his solemn face from
the side.
With an apathetic voice, he said, “You reap what you sow.” He then dragged Su Ziyue with him and left.
Qin Muchen’s steps were quick and she had to brisk-walk to keep up with him. She could feel the unrest in his heart,
while she was feeling the same.
Gong Shuzhe had caused Qin Li’s death, and he ganged up with Liu Zipei to shift the blame on Su Yizi, who later
passed away in jail. While Qin Muchen’s mother was Qin Li and Gong Shuzhe was his father, the truth that he had
been chasing this whole time was actually that his father had killed his mother. Although he never lived with Gong
Shuzhe, he was still his biological father. Qin Muchen thought that it was normal to find this hard to accept.
When they reached the parking lot, Su Ziyue stopped in front of the car. “I’ll drive,” she said and got straight into
the car. With the way Qin Muchen was acting right now, he shouldn’t be driving.
“What do you want to eat for lunch?” Su Ziyue knew that he was upset and wanted to chat with him, but he didn’t
speak a word. She then made another attempt. “Let’s go for a vacation and take a break for a short while. I’m a
little tired after being busy for these few months.”
All of a sudden, Qin Muchen reached out a hand and grabbed Su Ziyue over to himself. She screamed, “The car!”
Going over the controls with his hand, the car stopped and he began tearing off her clothes. Panic-stricken, she
exclaimed, “Qin Muchen, what are you doing?!”
The sinister from his eyes had yet to disperse completely, and his hands didn’t stop as he pressed his lips against
hers. In a quiet voice, he said, “Give it to me.” But he was not seeking her permission with that, and he straightaway
barged into her.
It felt so painful that Su Ziyue clawed around, while feeling terrified and shameful on the inside. We are just next to
the street in broad daylight…
“Qin Muchen, let’s go home,” Su Ziyue whimpered as she buried her head, but he ignored her and rolled over while
holding her. Lowering the backrest, he placed her down and came close on top of her. Holding her hands into balls
of fists, she held them up in front of her chest. Through squinted eyes, she saw the fierce beast-like look on his face
in the midst of his movements, without any trace of tenderness.
“Qin...” The moment she spoke, he became even more beastly and she dared not make a second sound.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThroughout the whole routine, she kept her body rigid and couldn’t feel anything else besides pain. Usually, he was
already not a gentle person when it came to lovemaking, but this time, he was venting like a beast on her. When
they were finished, she was already feeling numb from all the pain.
He lay on her body for a while before lifting his head to look at her, but she twisted her head to the side, refusing to
look him in the eyes. “Get up,” she said in a low voice.
He moved his lips as if he had something to say before he finally got up without saying anything. Reaching out his
hands, he wanted to help her straighten her clothes, but he happened to touch a spot where he had pinched her
before, which caused her to scream in pain. Brushing his hand aside, she told him, “That’s okay. I can do it myself.”
With panicky eyes, she looked out the window and was relieved that they were already in the Cloud Bay vicinity.
There were not many people passing by, and she didn’t see anyone on the street. If someone had seen them, she
would…
Her face turned pale at the thought of this and they went home after tidying up their clothes. It was Qin Muchen
who drove them back.
…
“I’m Gong Shuzhe. Regarding the murder which happened sixteen years ago on the charity banquet, I have to
admit the mistake which I had made…” Gong Shuzhe, who was in a prisoner’s uniform, was making an
announcement on the television. His hair which was usually impeccable was now shaved and he appeared haggard.
Putting down the remote control in her hand, the look on Su Ziyue’s face was desolate. Sixteen years had passed,
and the day finally arrived when the truth came to light, but her father was no longer alive. Even so, Qin Muchen’s
father was still around.
The thought of Qin Muchen cast a dark look in her eyes. Ever since that day after how he had treated her in the
car, he hadn’t been home for a few days now.
