Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 524 - 517: Desolation

Wu Chengzu’s indifferent gaze fell on Chen Bei, "Chen Bei! Stop being so self-righteous!"

Chen Bei was already in a daze, his eyes staring at Wu Chengzu’s contemptuous ones. It was the first time Wu Chengzu looked at him this way, just like the ants he could easily crush underfoot.

It was a kind of disdain that could decide life and death, and that disdain made Chen Bei tremble.

"Chen Bei, the biggest mistake you made was not making a decision behind my back, but rather, you weren’t prepared to fail before doing it!" Wu Chengzu looked coldly at Chen Bei, lifted his leg, and kicked him again, "You explain things in H City yourself, I won’t help you!"

After saying that, Wu Chengzu drove off, leaving the severely injured Chen Bei alone on the dark road, exposed to the cold wind.

Chen Bei watched as Wu Chengzu’s car sped away, reached out in pain, but then weakly lowered his arm.

With his foot pressed down on the accelerator, Wu Chengzu’s car raced down the highway. His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes cold and sinisterly fixed on the night ahead, the engine’s roar echoing through the empty road.

Much later, Wu Chengzu finally slowed down and stopped at the roadside again. He no longer knew where he was. Glancing at the unfamiliar surroundings, Wu Chengzu lowered his head, resting his forehead on the steering wheel, and patted the back of his head.

His heart had yet to calm down; if not for the shred of reason left in his mind earlier, Chen Bei would surely be dead.

Reason told him that Chen Bei did it for his own good, and there was a time when Wu Chengzu might have done the same.

However, now that he learned of Mr. Dong’s failed operation and Bai Yiran’s safety, he unexpectedly felt a sense of relief.

And it was this breath of relief that trapped Wu Chengzu in an inescapable web of conflict and pain.

It was already late at night, and Cheng Shishi still couldn’t sleep. Wu Chengzu hadn’t contacted her since that day. She had tried calling him first. His voice was distant, and after saying, "I’ll reach out to you," he left it at that.

Cheng Shishi knew Wu Chengzu was busy, but her heart couldn’t stop thinking about him.

With the phone in her hand, she wondered whether to call, just to hear his voice.

As Cheng Shishi was caught in her dilemma, the phone in her hand rang.

She glanced at the caller ID—it was Wu Chengzu!

Cheng Shishi quickly answered the phone, "Hello!"

Her voice was urgent, undisguised, and unreserved. Just like that, she transparently presented herself to Wu Chengzu, telling him she was thinking of him.

"Come outside," Wu Chengzu’s voice was indifferent and succinct.

But even so, it was enough to make Cheng Shishi’s heart race. She knew why Wu Chengzu sought her at this hour. She hesitated, looking at the time, "It’s too late now..."

"I’m downstairs." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shishi panicked and quickly ran to the window, indeed seeing a black car parked below.

After one last struggle, she quickly threw on a coat and snuck out of the room. Cheng Gang and Xia Lian were asleep, leaving the living room silent. She carefully opened and closed the front door.

Cheng Shishi hurried downstairs and as she approached the car, Wu Chengzu had already opened the passenger door.

Seeing Wu Chengzu himself at the wheel surprised Cheng Shishi. Without thinking further, she got in the car.

Before Cheng Shishi could fasten her seatbelt, Wu Chengzu had already started the car, and the powerful acceleration thrust Cheng Shishi’s body back into the seat.

She turned to look at Wu Chengzu; he seemed strange today.

He seemed both angry and lonely...
