Jake was sprawled on his bed, scrolling through social media feeds that seemed to blur into a monotonous stream of memes, selfies, and food pics. His cramped apartment was dimly lit, the flickering bulb doing little to lift the gloom that had settled over him.
Chapter 57: Isn't that True?
Shen Zhichu was contemplating the idea of escaping, but where could she possibly run to? The entire city of Rongcheng was under Li Jingshen's control. She would likely be caught and tied up before she even had a chance to board a car, and the price she would pay for attempting to escape might be unbearable. Besides, she still had a brother.
She didn't mind dying, as she had already been living on borrowed time for over a year, but she dreaded the possibility of bringing trouble to others. Li Jingshen knew her greatest fear and used it to control her like a kite in his hand. No matter how high or far she tried to fly, a slight tug from him would reel her back.
Shen Zhichu couldn't eat due to her troubled thoughts, but her stomach couldn't take it anymore, so she boiled two eggs and took them to her room to eat. The eggs in her hand went from scalding hot to ice cold as she waited from day to night, finally hearing a car pull up outside.
