Chapter 419 - 419 Reason

419 Reason

After hearing Chu Cichen’s words, Song Chen inhaled deeply. He then looked at Chu Cichen as though this was the first time he was seeing him. Moreover, his eyes were filled with shock as he gazed at him. In the end, his vision landed on Chu Cichen’s determined face.

Song Chen mumbled, “You are then Chu Cichen, the real… Chu Cichen.”

A look of mockery appeared on his face, and he didn’t answer the question. Rather, he looked at Shen Ruojing and persistently asked, “Jingjing, was the one you loved those years ago me, who accompanied you, or him?”

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips. She then cocked her head and glanced at Chu Cichen, not replying to the question. Rather, she counter-asked, “I want to know the truth of this matter. Who are you? Why did you pretend to be him to date me?”

When Song Chen heard this, he lowered his head in disappointment. “The one you love is him, correct? From the start until the end, it has always been him…you were willing to speak with me and get close to me back then because of him…because you thought that I was him…”

!!

After saying these, he smiled bitterly. “So, I’ve always been in a one-sided love and overthinking things…”

He lowered his eyes and grabbed the edges of the sofa.

Shen Ruojing frowned. She grabbed a chair at the side and placed it before the sofa, sitting on it. She then stared down imperiously and exuded a domineering aura as she slowly asked, “Song Chen, right? This isn’t the time for us to reminisce about the past. I didn’t come here to talk to you about love. I want you to tell me who you are and why you masqueraded as Chu Cichen.”

It was as though Song Chen hadn’t expected that she would be so cold.

He revealed a hurt expression…

After that, he smiled bitterly. “Jingjing, don’t be like this. I’m not your enemy and I will never hurt you…”

After seeing his appearance, Shen Ruojing sighed. “I know.”

Song Chen started.

Shen Ruojing continued, “You intentionally got close to Shen Jiayi because you wanted me to know about this, so I would take the initiative to find you, right?”

Song Chen’s eyes turned red. “So, you knew about this!”

Shen Ruojing then spoke, “Because it is meaningless for you to masquerade as Chu Cichen to get close to her. Other than this reason, I can’t think of any others.”

Song Chen nodded. “I once promised those people that I would never look for you or appear before you. However, when I was walking on the streets that day, Shen Jiayi encountered me and started chatting me up. I knew she misunderstood when she called me Mr. Chu. So, I went on two meals with her and as expected, you were drawn over…”

Chu Cichen, who was at the side, didn’t know what to feel when he heard Shen Ruojing speaking so gently to this guy.

This was especially so because this man had his face and even assumed such a pitiful expression. This caused him to feel like he wanted nothing more than to tear the man’s face off.

It simply felt too awkward.

When he heard this, he couldn’t help but interrupt them, “So, why did you have to masquerade as me to get close to her? Also, how did you know my living habits, personality, and everything between me and Jingjing? What was your motive for doing all these?”

Song Chen glanced at Chu Cichen with hostility after hearing this. His tone was not as pleasant anymore as he spoke, “Since I took the initiative to appear and draw Jingjing over, it was naturally to be honest with her. Things are very complicated, so I’ll explain them one by one…”

Chu Cichen domineeringly spoke, “In that case, start by explaining who you are and why you look similar to me.”

Song Chen looked at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing nodded and asked, “Who are you exactly?”

Song Chen lowered his eyes and revealed a look of hurt in his gaze. “This is a very sorrowful question…I’m an orphan, I…”

He spoke and lifted his head.

But at that very instant, his pupils constricted as he suddenly jumped up. “Be careful!”

After shouting, he lunged at Shen Ruojing to knock her down.

Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen had their attention on him, so they basically didn’t notice anything. But when Song Chen shouted the warning, both of them heard the sound of glass breaking.

They turned to the left and stared at the glass, only to see a bullet blasting forth!

It happened too quickly to the extent that even Shen Ruojing didn’t sense any killing intent.

From the direction of the bullet and the fact that Song Chen had lunged at her to cover her, it was clear that the bullet was meant for her!

Shen Ruojing started slightly and subconsciously pushed Song Chen away. But at the next moment, she felt something warm dripping on her hand.

She lowered her head and saw that her hands were stained with blood.

As for Song Chen, whom she pushed away, he fell back on the sofa. There was a bullet in his chest, and he was bleeding profusely. However, he was staring at Shen Ruojing in a panic. “Jingjing, are you okay?”

Before Shen Ruojing could speak, Chu Cichen already stood before her protectively, blocking her from the window. The man then pointed to the dead corners of the room. “There’s a sniper, we should hide!”

Shen Ruojing nodded.

She carried Song Chen and went to a dead corner where no vision was provided from the window.

Chu Cichen cleanly hid at the side of the bed and glanced in the direction where the bullet was fired. His sharp senses soon detected the location of the sniper. After that, he immediately took his phone and called Lu Cheng. “The three o’clock direction. There’s a lighthouse there and the sniper is above it. Go take a look!”

“Roger.”

Two minutes later, Lu Cheng replied, “The sniper has fled.”

Chu Cichen asked, “Is there anyone there?”

“Nope.”

Chu Cichen grew enraged. “Go investigate then!”

After the sound of his voice faded, Shen Ruojing’s voice rang out. “No need, I know who that was.”

“Who?”

“Dugu Xiao.”

Shen Ruojing said this because her phone was currently vibrating and Dugu Xiao was calling her.

She picked up the call and Dugu Xiao’s cold and malevolent voice rang out. “The person who created the No. 5 Neurotoxin might be still alive, but they should be living like rats, something that can be hunted by everyone. How can you announce to the public that you are Professor Z? Shen Ruojing, how are you qualified to receive respect from others?!”

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids. “This place is the capital of China. You dare to fire here? Don’t you want to live anymore?!”

Dugu Xiao started slightly before he broke out in laughter. “Who says that I was the one who fired? Please do not blame people if you don’t have proof! In addition, even if I don’t use a gun, I can make you live a life worse than death! I’ll let you taste the feeling of being scolded and hated by everyone. Shen Ruojing, just you wait. I’ll make it so that you won’t be able to lift your head up high and make you feel like you are living in hell forever!”

He hung up after saying this.

Right now, Shen Ruojing was in no mood to entertain him. Since the sniper outside had fled, she immediately started to check on Song Chen’s condition, wanting to take a look at his injuries.

Song Chen’s countenance was as pale as paper, and he was still bleeding from his chest. His situation was not very good!

...

“Help me to press down on his wound.”

After Shen Ruojing said that, Chu Cichen took a step forward and executed her instructions. Shen Ruojing had taken out some silver needles from her pocket and inserted them in the area around Song Chen’s wound!

At this moment, Song Chen panted heavily and mumbled.

“Jingjing, I know I won’t be able to make it… But this is good as well, as I don’t want to live like a fugitive that needs to hide constantly anymore. During these years, the only person I can’t forget is you…”

“I’ll tell you the truth you want to know…”
