Lu Yuchen seemed to be standing in the shadows and never looked at Xinluo from beginning to end.
"Remember, from now on, you just need to take care of your baby and don't worry about other things."
"Where... where do you want me to go?" Xinluo couldn't help but ask.
"It's not your place to ask where we're going. Just focus on raising this child well. And... remember to learn to please me."
When Lu Yuchen spoke, his tone was so cold that it was almost impossible to hear his emotions.
"To please..." Xinluo's eyes widened, "What do you want to do?"
"What I want to do is none of your business." He took a step forward and glanced at her coldly.
It was not until this moment, when she stood in the light, that Xinluo could see his eyes clearly.
There is no love or warmth in the cold and dim eyes.
"Just know that if you behave yourself and make me happy, I can occasionally let your beloved man out to meet you. Otherwise, believe me... you will become the executioner who strangles him yourself."
The color on Xinluo's face faded instantly.
All words of resistance and rejection were strangled by a simple threat from Lu Yuchen.
Lu Yuchen threw out this warning and left the ward.
Soon, someone knocked on the door and appeared in front of Xinluo.
The person who came was not Meng Ze, not Lu Qi, not Lu Jiu.
But two women she had never seen before.

That night, two people disappeared out of nowhere in City B.
One is Xinluo, and the other is Shen Jun.
The warehouse area in the far suburbs of City B was pitch black at night, with almost no one to be seen.
And right in this warehouse area, in one of the dilapidated warehouses, a man with a temperament that was extremely inconsistent with such a shabby place was leaning on a leather sofa that his subordinates had specially brought in.
He was playing with a bloodstained whip in his hand.
His cold and murderous eyes casually swept over the man who was crawling towards him with difficulty.
The man who was glanced at by him couldn't help but tremble on the spot.
The tattered clothes revealed the bloody whip marks from being beaten.
"Master Lu... Master Lu, I was wrong... I really know I was wrong. Please, let me go! I was so careless at the time. How could I possibly push Xinluo? She is my own granddaughter, Master Lu!"
Shen Jun finally crawled to Lu Yuchen's feet, wishing he could hug his legs and beg for mercy.
But when he thought about the beginning, when he was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and wanted to hug the man's legs, he was kicked away mercilessly.
Shen Jun became timid again.
He knew that Lu Yuchen didn't like being touched, so he gave up the idea of hugging his legs and begging for mercy, and just kowtowed at his feet to admit his mistake.
"Master Lu, please be magnanimous and let me go! I am a useless old thing. I am old and in poor health. I won't live much longer."
"Please don't bear grudges against a short-lived person like me! Just... just consider that I'm Xinluo's grandpa, and please let me go!"
Shen Jun was really scared of being beaten.
The worst time he had ever experienced from his youth to his old age was the time he spent in the military camp.
He always thought that was the most miserable moment in his life.
But now, falling into Lu Yuchen's hands, Shen Jun finally knew what true misery and desolation was.
The number of times Lu Yuchen whipped him was more than the number of times he was beaten with a military stick in the military camp.
Not to mention, Lu Yuchen probably used his full strength every time he whipped.
The whip hit him hard, leaving his old bones with skin torn and flesh bruised.
If he didn't know clearly in his heart, if he dared to faint, Lu Yuchen would probably use more terrible means to deal with him.
Shen Jun must have fainted from the pain by now. (To be continued)
