Chapter 278: The Only Chance

Jiang Bei had not fallen asleep, tormented not only by physical soreness but also by a raging fury inside. She didn't understand why she had ended up in such a predicament. Usually seen as a fierce and fearless woman in everyone's eyes, in front of Rong Shen, she seemed to be nothing but a lamb to the slaughter.

Rong Shen had said he would pick her up at the hospital at 5 a.m., and Jiang Bei didn't doubt him; he was a man of his word. She had thought about refusing and escaping, but this wasn't Tokyo. As he had said, he wouldn't mind going directly to her parents' house to fetch her, so she had no choice but to obediently comply.

When people are suppressed for too long, sometimes they do things that defy logic.

Jiang Bei felt she had reached a breaking point, or else she wouldn't have stealthily reached for the gun under Rong Shen's pillow and aimed it at his head.

Her idea was simple: if Rong Shen were dead, she would be free, no longer manipulated like a puppet.
