Chapter 417 - 417 418 The Last Time (1)_1
?Chapter 417: Chapter 418: The Last Time (1)_1 Chapter 417: Chapter 418: The Last Time (1)_1 Liang Chen hadn’t been home for quite a few days, and the servants in the villa had returned to their lifestyle before Jing Haohao’s arrival, where they were mostly free.
It was past midnight when Liang Chen returned to the villa. The servants had already gone to sleep. He entered the house with familiarity, went upstairs, straight into his study, and walked over to his safe.
He stared at the combination lock in front of him, moistened his lips, and took out his phone to call Cong Rong.
The phone rang for quite a while before it was picked up, and a sleepy voice from Cong Rong came through: “Mr. Liang, what would you like so late at night?”
“Cong Rong… I can’t take it anymore.”
Cong Rong paused at Liang Chen’s somewhat helpless tone, and then he faintly had an idea of what Liang Chen was about to say, which instantly woke him up: “Li Chen, are you going to do something foolish again?”
Liang Chen held his phone and moistened his lips: “It’s been twenty days, and I still can’t find her. I can’t wait anymore. I wish I could see her at any moment. So, Cong Rong, I might really do something foolish.”
Cong Rong paused for a long time before responding: “From your perspective, I should support you. From a moral perspective, I should oppose you. So, maybe it’s better if you don’t tell me.”
“One last time, one last time…” Liang Chen repeated the phrase twice before abruptly hanging up the phone.
He eyed the safe for a minute, then reached out and entered the code.
With a click, the safe opened, and Liang Chen pulled out a CD. He clenched it tightly in his hand and then lowered his head, closed the safe, turned around and sat down at his desk, and inserted the CD into the computer’s disc drive.
Within a few minutes, a video popped up on the computer screen. It was a video of him and Jing Haohao making love for the first time at the Four Seasons Hotel.
After some time, he realized upon watching the video that Jing Haohao looked terribly sorrowful, as if she was undergoing the most torturous ordeal one could experience, while his face was filled with obsession, satisfaction, and comfort.
Such a sharp contrast.
Liang Chen watched Jing Haohao’s face on the video for a while, then closed his eyes, his mind filled with struggle and inner conflicts.
After about five minutes, Liang Chen opened his eyes and slowed the video playback speed to the slowest, as if each frame was a photo slowly sliding past. He found the shots inside that didn’t reveal their faces or intimate body parts, and saved one screenshot after another.
Once Liang Chen had done all this, he turned off the computer and walked slowly to the window of the study. Staring at the distant hills and the inky shadows of trees, his expression turned somewhat frosty.
China, with its 9.6 million square kilometers of land, has thirty-two provinces, four municipalities, five autonomous regions, 282 prefecture-level cities, 375 county-level cities, 37,896 towns and townships, and a total of 1.3 billion people.
If he were to search for her one by one, who knows when they would meet again.
However, there is one thing that can quickly penetrate the whole of China overnight, which is news.
So, he really wants to be despicable just one more time, just once more, for the last time, so that he can know where she is as soon as possible.
