After the Young Master’s Death, He was Kissed by His Mortal Enemy! - Chapter 95

The matter was dropped just like that.

In a family like hers, no one cared whether Huang Yiheng lived or died.

Huang Yiheng herself was completely heartbroken and had given up hope, but after becoming a spirit, she discovered with despair that she could not leave Chen Xu’s side even for a moment. Day and night, she was forced to stay with the man who had killed her. No matter how much she hated him or how lost she felt, it was all in vain.

She wanted to leave. She wanted to go. Every second spent by Chen Xu’s side was agonizing.

However, as a spirit, Huang Yiheng finally learned of Chen Xu’s plans after her death. She realized he had targeted a junior from the same school named Shen Ran and was step-by-step plotting with deep, calculating intent.

When they first met, Huang Yiheng discovered that Shen Ran had the same aura as her, and more importantly, he could see her. That was why she had said those words during their first encounter: “Help me, please help me.”

Shen Ran finally understood. Everything became clear.

“Back then, I did not understand what you meant by ‘help me.’ It turns out you wanted me to help you regain your freedom.”

But that would likely be quite difficult. Huang Yiheng’s situation was different from his previous one; back then, he was tied to a phone. Huang Yiheng, on the other hand, was likely trapped by her own heart and the pain Chen Xu had inflicted upon her. To leave, she might have to untie the knot in her heart herself, or… finish off Chen Xu.

“Actually, I thought so too. I figured I might as well just do it while Chen Xu is sleeping—kill him.”

A life for a life. She had become this spirit because of him. Why should Chen Xu be allowed to live peacefully in this world and continue to provoke other innocent people?

“But my condition seems unstable. It seems I am not always visible when I am attached to his back. And I cannot touch him, so…”

Huang Yiheng’s voice carried a sense of powerlessness. Perhaps she truly hated Chen Xu to her core, but she might have hated her past self even more for being blinded by her own stubbornness.

“But one day, I will make Chen Xu pay the price, just as he did to me back then.”

Shen Ran felt a bit of a sigh in his heart. Back in university, Huang Yiheng was an exceptional person. Hearing her say these words through gritted teeth, Shen Ran did not think she was joking. If she could actually do it, perhaps he and Cheng Yi would not need to get their hands dirty.

“Then, Senior Huang, why did you point upward at the annual meeting the other day?” Shen Ran asked his final question. “After you and Chen Xu left, I looked at the ceiling, but there was not even a ghost of a shadow up there.”

“I was not telling you to look at the ceiling,” Huang Yiheng explained. “The direction I pointed out to you was the rooftop of the Shen Group.”

“The rooftop?”

“At that time, there was someone on the rooftop of the Shen Group who felt very similar to you.”

Shen Ran froze. Someone who felt similar to him? He was a spirit who had been reborn, so could it be…

“Also, Shen Ran, you must be careful with your parents and the Shen Group. Your parents must have many lives on their hands. I could feel it back then; there were quite a few spirits in that building. There were many on the rooftop.”

Shen Ran’s heart sank, but it was not entirely unexpected. It would be abnormal if Shen Xianming and Fu Sijie, who were so cold-blooded and heartless even toward him, did not have blood on their hands. When he had time, he would go to the Shen Group again. He would find his way to the rooftop, seek out the spirits there, and ask them who that person similar to him was.

“So, Senior, what do you plan to do next?”

Huang Yiheng gave a bitter laugh. “I do not know for now. Perhaps as long as Chen Xu is alive, I will be imprisoned by his side. If only I could…”

In any case, Shen Ran and Huang Yiheng had overlapping goals: to ensure Chen Xu did not have an easy time.

So Shen Ran comforted her. “Don’t worry, Senior. I will try to think of a way to help regarding this matter. By the way, would you like a phone?”

Huang Yiheng was startled at first, then asked with a hint of uncertainty and hope, “I… can I have one?”

After chatting with Huang Yiheng for a while longer, Shen Ran finally hung up. He let out a long sigh and leaned against Cheng Yi’s shoulder with some emotion.

“How has she endured these past few years? Facing the person she hates most, hearing only his voice, and unable to leave his side for even a step.”

Cheng Yi added, “And she did not even have a phone to play with, right?”

“Right… wait, no! I just felt that I should help if I can. Besides, if she has a phone, she can stay in touch with us. If she has anything to say later, we will not have to go through all this trouble.”

After finishing the call, Shen Ran and Cheng Yi did not plan to linger in the hotel room despite the opportunity. They still had to pick up Xiao Dong from the entrance of Chen Xu’s residential complex.

After checking out of the hotel and walking out of the lobby, Shen Ran found that Xiao Dong had already come out of the complex and was standing obediently outside the hotel. Seeing him look over, Xiao Dong even explained, “Brother, I did not go inside. I did not scare anyone.”

Shen Ran laughed but felt a bit of heartache. He bent down and waved to Xiao Dong. “Come here. Let’s go home together.”

Cheng Yi, holding his phone with the camera on, seemed to have the same thought as Shen Ran. When Xiao Dong ran over, Cheng Yi was actually willing to give up the spot next to Shen Ran so that Xiao Dong could walk between them.

Unlike the aggressive air they had when they arrived, the two men and the little spirit walking home seemed exceptionally peaceful and warm. After so much fuss, it was already late at night. Although it was cold, they were not lonely.

Xiao Dong had completed his mission and was now full of energy. He had never seen the street scenes of a big city before, so everything looked fresh to him. After walking quietly between the two for a while, he started to frolic about.

Shen Ran then found Cheng Yi quietly moving closer to occupy the space beside him again. “Boss Shen, I want to hold your hand.”

Even though it was a request, their hands were already tightly interlaced by the time Cheng Yi spoke.

“Tsk.” Shen Ran pressed against Cheng Yi’s broad, warm palm with his thumb. “How old are you? You are even more childish than Xiao Dong. Xiao Dong does not even need me to hold his hand.”

“I do not care. I am your boyfriend. I will hold your hand however I want.”

“Scoundrel.”
