Chapter 598: Culprit
Tang Shunian showed a sinister smile as he saw the name on the screen.
Shangguan Ning had called him of her own accord.
It seemed that she was truly concerned about Jing Yichen.
With the cellphone in hand, Tang Shunian turned around and walked towards the exit of the cellar.
The exit required his fingerprints to open up. No one would be able to go out without his fingerprints.
The gate of the cellar was built to allow only one body to pass at a time. There was no limit on entry, but there were restrictions for someone to go out.
There was someone guarding the cellar. Tang Shunian needed to go somewhere else, since it was not safe here any longer.
He walked out of the cellar, entered a car and answered the call in a gentle voice. “Miss Shangguan, where are you now?”
“Mr. Tang, I am not sure where I am now, because I have never been to B City before. I am calling to see if everything is fine with my husband. You have not broken our agreement, have you?”
Tang Shunian chuckled. He seemed to think that Shangguan Ning was phrasing her words in a very interesting way.
He looked up at Jing Yichen who was in the combat and said in a calm voice, “Of course not, Jing Yichen is doing fine now. But I think that he wants to see you desperately. So you should hurry!”
“Can I speak with him?”
“I am so sorry, Miss Shangguan. I have already been sincere enough to give you guys time to speak. Honestly, if we talk too much, my location can be tracked. I will be dead if too many police officers come here.”
“I did not ask for help from any police officer!”
“Oh, that is very good. Otherwise I can’t guarantee what would happen to your husband.”
Tang Shunian was behaving like a gentleman as he reminded Shangguan Ning out of “kindness”.
“Jing Yichen has a very strong obsession towards cleanness, so he can’t be touched by anyone, right? Don’t you want to know what caused that? I also have a very strong obsession towards cleanness, and we share the same cause. How interesting is life, no?”
“Mr. Tang, aren’t you afraid now that talking with me for too long would expose your location?”
“Oh, it seems that Miss Shangguan isn’t much interested in this topic. Don’t you want to know how your husband was humiliated by so many men back then. At that time, he was like a pitiful dog, running about with no clothes on and nowhere to go. When he got too tired, he used bodies to hide under. Unfortunately, my brothers were fooled, and he did not seem to mind behaving like a coward.”
Shangguan Ning was driving the car when she heard Tang Shunian’s cruel words.
She did not interrupt the crazy man, but tears started to trickle down like pearls without thread from her eyes.
Her hands were tightly clenched to the steering wheel as she tried her best to control her emotions, fearing that she would burst out in tears or swear at him.
She knew that Jing Yichen had a strong cleanliness obsession. She knew that apart from her, he could not touch anyone else but she always thought that he just preferred being clean and hated to stay close to people.
But she discovered later that it was far more than just an obsession.
He did not even want to shake hands with others, and did not follow even the most basic society etiquettes.
She had asked Jing Yichen several times about the reason, but he always laughed it off, never mentioning the real cause.
So Tang Shunian had been the one responsible for it!
She was not sure how true Tang Shunian’s words were, but after hearing them, she felt her heart ache, as if it had been ripped off her chest!
Her Yichen, the most perfect and outstanding man in the world, had once been tormented and humiliated in such a manner!
Tang Shunian was definitely going to die, he had to die!
Shangguan Ning cursed Tang Shunian inwardly. He was a monster!
But Tang Shunian did not seem to care about Shangguan Ning’s anger. Instead, he continued speaking in a happy tone, “But Jing Yichen escaped the humiliation. I got to know that his manhood is not functioning properly. I wonder if he can satisfy you these days?”
With her teeth tightly clenched, Shangguan Ning kept telling herself to hold back her irritation. She couldn’t lose it, at least not right now!
Irritating him would only create more trouble for Jing Yichen.
Her silence made Tang Shunian even more reckless. It seemed that he had been quiet for too long.
“I do envy Jing Yichen sometimes. He is indeed lucky! He was always favored by God. Unfortunately, I was not as lucky as him. Dozens of years ago, I was tormented by a group of stinky men and old women every single day. I wanted to die and end the miserable life.”
“Do you know how I got through it? Haha! I kept telling myself that when the Jing Family, the reason for Tang Family’s bankruptcy was still alive, I could not die! I must stay alive, and take revenge! I must bring them down so that every man in the Jing Family would suffer gravely and all the women of the Jing Family would become mine.”
“See, I finally made it! Jing Yichen almost died because of the torment, and I finally got a good sleep. But I was too careless, because he suddenly could touch a woman. And that woman was not my poor sister who had been in love with him for dozens of years, but you!”
“It is strange, Miss Shangguan. Do you have any special ability to cure Jing Yichen’s obsession? Do you think that you can cure mine too?”
Sitting in the car, Shangguan Ning’s cheeks were drenched with tears.
She truly wanted to say – “I won’t cure you, I will kill you.”
But she could not. She could only listen and tolerate.
Jing Zhongxiu and his men must have already arrived at Tang Shunian’s place. What she needed to do was to distract Tang Shunian. It was good that he was willing to speak with her.
Shangguan Ning had no desire to answer him, but Tang Shunian was not happy with her silence.
“Miss Shangguan, why are you silent? Do you think that I don’t deserve your words? Or are you saying that you want Jing Yichen to experience the humiliation he went through eleven years ago, again?”
“No, I am talking with you!” Shangguan Ning shouted.
“I am talking with you, but you must keep the promise of not hurting him before I arrive!”
She was not sure if Tang Shunian would keep the promise. A mentally-disturbed person like him would never care about a promise. But she would try her level best to gain even the slightest advantage.
Jing Yichen must be facing tremendous threat because of that one thing that Tang Shunian said!
