Chapter 308 - 308 309 Shocking Truth (5)_1
?Chapter 308: Chapter 309 Shocking Truth (5)_1 Chapter 308: Chapter 309 Shocking Truth (5)_1 Sun Yan, having been severely beaten now, barely remembered the time Qiao Wennuan gave him the money and warned him to keep it a secret. Without any hesitation, he confessed everything, “It was Qiao Wennuan!”
Hearing this name, Shen Liangnian’s expression shifted rapidly. There was shock, there was anger, there was incredulity, but at the end, everything condensed into a gloomy face.
Sun Yan saw the shadow on Shen Liangnian’s face, as if he was ready to kill at any moment. Without any pause, he raised his arms surrendering and confessed everything he could, “Qiao Wennuan was the first to approach me. She told me that she would play the lead female role in my new drama, and she asked for a low fee. However, she had one condition – that I had to film a ‘special’ video of Jing Haohao with someone else. After the matter went wrong, she directly paid me ten million to keep my mouth shut…”
Hearing this, Shen Liangnian felt like all the strength in his body had been sucked out. He staggered, and as he retreated, he collided with the car behind him.
The sudden impact triggered the car’s distress alarm.
Shen Liangnian, however, seemed completely oblivious. He leaned against the car, his eyes vacant.
Sun Yan was confused. The man who had just violently beaten him seemed to be distraught in a matter of moments?
But then, he quickly regained his senses, not caring about his inner confusion, and took advantage of the moment Shen Liangnian wasn’t looking and bolted towards the side.
With Sun Yan gone, the parking lot was left with only Shen Liangnian.
The parking lot was open-air. The winter wind, mingled with the moisture from the Ring City River, howled around him.
Away on the street, vehicles came and went incessantly.
Shen Liangnian, however, felt like he had swallowed bitter gourd. His stomach, previously empty due to excessive drinking, rebelled. With great effort, he pushed himself against the car and began to dry heave.
He couldn’t tell if the nausea was caused by the alcohol, or by the things Qiao Wennuan had done. He couldn’t control the vomiting. It felt like his whole insides were being emptied out.
Shen Liangnian, drained of energy, staggered back and fell onto the ground. He stared vacantly ahead while the chilling wind slipped into his collar and seemed to freeze his heart.
The cold sobered him up a little, and thoughts slowly began to form in his mind.
He finally understood why Jing Haohao had been filled with despair and agony when she saw him from inside Liang Chen’s car. He finally understood why she had pleaded with him so pitifully to let her go when he was picking her up from the outskirts of the city and saw Liang Chen…
If it hadn’t been for his momentary impulse upon Qiao Wennuan’s hint two years ago, would all these things afterward have happened?
He had always thought that Jing Haohao and Liang Chen had met because of his introduction…
At the time, he had wondered why Jing Haohao had suddenly left him.
Now, he finally recognized there was no such thing as ‘sudden’ in this world.
Every ‘sudden’ came along with a long prelude.
