Endless Fall

Song Zhen, who was worried about him, rushed over and sat on the carpet with him to drink. “Who do you think Sister Jiao’s boyfriend is?”

“Pei Zhi.”

“Pei Zhi from Sheng Heng Corp?”

“Yes.” Gu Quan gulped down two mouthfuls of wine, wanting to suppress the bitterness in his heart. “He called her Wifey. They were very loving.”

Only then did Song Zhen come back to his senses from the shocking news.

He placed his hand on Gu Quan’s shoulder. “Brother Quan, I know you feel terrible, but there’s no turning back.”

“Why not? She’s not married yet.”

“It’s only a matter of time before they get married.” He took out two cigarettes from his cigarette box. “You haven’t seen Pei Zhi’s interview, right?”

“What interview?”

“The reporters asked him about his relationship. He said that he had a crush on his girlfriend for four years. At that time, the interview was even trending.”

Gu Quan was stunned. “Four years?” He thought about the past carefully. “So they’ve known each other for a long time?”

“You’ve never seen him before?”

“No.”

“I guess they met through Yilan.” Song Zhen understood after thinking for a moment. “But none of that matters anymore.”

The person he had a crush on for four years had finally become his girlfriend. He wouldn’t let go of her easily, let alone give others a chance.

However, Gu Quan still had hope and was unwilling to wait.

He drank two bottles of beer in a row, his eyes redder than before.

“Song Zhen, I can’t let go.” As long as he thought of how sweet they used to be, his heart felt like it was being clenched.

“Even if you can’t let go, you have to.” Song Zhen was usually frivolous, but at the critical moment, he was clear-headed.

He said with a serious expression, “Brother Quan, don’t even think about snatching her from Pei Zhi. If he gets angry, not to mention you, but even the Gu Corporation will be skinned alive. Do you understand what I mean?”

“I understand.” Gu Quan was not stupid. “Don’t worry, I’ve never thought of snatching her from him.”

He would become better and stronger.

If she wanted to come back to him one day, he would definitely give her everything.

But he did not know that she was never going to come back.

The starless night was as dark as ink.

Lin City Airport was brightly lit. The cold white light dispelled the loneliness and shone on the few tourists.

There were too few direct flights in the morning. Su Tian booked a flight to Madrid at four o’clock.

Madrid was Xiao Song’s territory. She did not dare to stay for too long, so she booked a high-speed train from Madrid to Barcelona.

She had two old acquaintances in Barcelona. As long as she found them and got their protection, she did not have to worry too much about her future.

At the thought of the beautiful life ahead, the worry in Su Tian’s heart was replaced by joy.

Unfortunately, she was happy too early.

“Miss Su.” Two burly men stopped in front of her, blocking her way. “Please come back with us.”

They were like an uncrossable mountain that stood in front of her, blocking the freedom she yearned for.

Su Tian broke out in a cold sweat. “You’re mistaken.” She refused to admit her identity and subconsciously wanted to walk around the two of them.

“You know best if we’re mistaken or not.” One of the burly men grabbed her arm, not giving her a chance to quibble.

He was so strong that Su Tian could not break free at all. She could only shout for help.

She looked at the airport lobby with teary eyes. Her throat was hoarse from shouting, but no one appeared.

“Shut up!” The burly man pushed her into the car and slammed the door. “If you continue howling, I’ll kill you.”

Su Tian hunched down and sobbed.

She could not withstand Xiao Song’s anger. At the thought of what would happen next, she was extremely afraid.

“Big Brother.” She took out a bank card and handed it to him shakily. “There’s 200,000 yuan here. Can you let me go?”

“Do you think we haven’t seen money before?” The burly man rubbed the sharp dagger in front of her.

His warning was very strong. Su Tian, who still wanted to live, naturally did not dare to say anything.

She sat in the back seat with trepidation, her mind racing as she tried to come up with countermeasures.

“We’re here.” The car was parked in a wasteland.

When Su Tian, who was pulled out of the car, realized that they were in a remote place, her face turned visibly pale.

Her legs were trembling. “Where are we?”

“Can’t you see those big words?” The burly man glared at her and pointed at the building opposite.

On the building that was about six to seven floors tall, there were two eye-catching words.

‘Mental hospital.’

Before Su Tian could react, she was carried to the second floor by the burly man and thrown to the female nurse.

She looked at the hospital gown on the stool and realized that something was wrong. She asked, “What do you mean?”

...

The burly man put on a soft expression. “Miss Su, it’s not a good thing to avoid treatment. Since you’re here, rest well.”

“I’m not sick! Why do I need treatment?!” She shouted at the top of her lungs and glared at him.

“Yes, yes, yes. You’re not sick, but I am.”

“You know? Hurry up and take me away. I don’t want to stay in this lousy place for a minute!”

The burly man looked at her with even more pity.

He turned to the nurse and said, “Her disease is acting up again. Please keep an eye on her and don’t let her fool around.”

“Alright.” After yawning, the nurse smiled kindly at them. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take good care of her.”

The burly man nodded. “Then we’ll get going first.”

The sound of footsteps mixed with angry curses echoed in the empty corridor.

Su Tian, who was locked in the ward, kept banging on the door until dawn. Before she could rest, she was dragged downstairs for a walk.

The playground was filled with lunatics running around. Their blue and white striped clothes were especially eye-catching under the sun.

...

They were either learning how to fly a kite, speaking to the high wall, cursing, counting leaves, white clouds, or people in the playground.

“Demon! I’ll subdue you!” A man holding a piece of white paper rushed up to Su Tian and pressed it against her head.

He used a lot of strength. Su Tian, who was unprepared, staggered back and almost hit the tree trunk.

“Are you crazy?!” After saying that, she realized that the other party was indeed crazy. “Get lost and leave me alone!”

“I’ll subdue you!”

“What’s wrong with you? Idiot.”

“I’ll subdue you!” He repeated, pasting a note on her head.

Su Tian was driven crazy by him. “Get lost!” She kicked him in the knee and he fell to the ground.

When his fellows saw him being bullied by the demon, they rushed forward to paste a note on her forehead.

They did not know how to control their strength, so their actions were more like knocking. Su Tian, who was outnumbered, felt her ears ring after being knocked a few times.

She was tortured to the point of crying and howling. Her entire body was covered in dirty white notes and she was in an extremely sorry state.

However, the playground was noisy, so the nurse did not notice her being bullied.
