My Toxic Ex-Wife: BOSS, Stay Away！-Chapter 724: Side Story Four: Loving You Was Just an Accident

Chapter 724: Side Story Four: Loving You Was Just an Accident

"I saw Lin Yixun, she’s not doing well."

At the engagement banquet, Zhong Chu’s words kept echoing in my mind. From the beginning to the end of the banquet, I was distracted.

Even though I kept telling myself that Zhong Chu’s words might be exaggerated, that perhaps Lin Yixun was not as bad as he described, countless possibilities still kept popping up in my mind.

I feared that Lin Yixun was really not doing well. I feared more that she was being mistreated by others. After all, I’ve also experienced the pain of falling from the clouds into the quagmire.

In the end, I still had my assistant investigate her, investigating her situation over the past four years. However, the content in the investigation report was not what I wanted.

I stared fixedly at the photo on the report; after four years, she had lost a lot of weight, her baby fat was gone, and her once bright eyes were now as dull as still water, with no ripples whatsoever.

But none of this was the most painful thing for me. My gaze was glued to the hideous scar on her right cheek. I remember the last time I saw her, she was still fine, but now her beautiful face had been ruined.

Why? What on earth happened to her?

My fingers slowly tightened. I thought my heart was hard enough, cold enough, but I still couldn’t suppress the pain.

I desperately wanted to see her, even had the impulse to take her under my wing, to shield her from any more harm.

My body acted ahead of my thoughts. When I put down the report, my fingers had already dialed a long string of numbers.

"Book me a ticket to T City, as soon as possible."

That night, I rushed to T City. The three-hour flight and several sleepless days made me somewhat exhausted.

When I got off the plane, Old He saw my tired face. He couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, should we go to the hotel to rest first or...?"

"To Nightshade."

I couldn’t wait, not even for a moment. I never imagined that of all places Lin Yixun could be, she chose to work at Nightshade.

What kind of place is Nightshade? It’s a notorious money squandering den in T City, a place where many women stumble and fall. Its clientele is a mix of all kinds of people.

Lin Yixun is such a proud person. If she hadn’t been driven to total despair, how could she have chosen to work at Nightshade?

"Boss, this is the place."

I looked up at the European-style building in front of me, my gaze falling on the flamboyant characters above the entrance. I narrowed my eyes slightly and a cold smile appeared at the corners of my lips.

No matter how luxurious the decoration is on the outside, it doesn’t change the essence of this place. It’s still a den of debauchery, where money and sex transactions allow people to do as they please.

Outside the club, it was brightly lit and quiet as a suburban night, but inside was a different scene altogether.

Amorous lights, deafening music, at the end of the dance floor was a huge stage. At this moment, the gaze of the men in the dance floor was focused on the stage not far away. There, a tall, slender girl in tight black leather was performing energetically.

The girl’s figure was tall and slender, the tight black leather outlining her alluring curves. Although only a small section of her white, tender waist was exposed, this half-hidden, half-revealed appearance made her even more enticing.

She swayed her hips, twisted her waist, and moved her pelvis. In the flashing lights, her expression was indifferent, as if nothing in the world could affect her. Yet to the men, she was like opium, exuding deadly allure.

Whistles from the men could be heard from time to time. Their eyes were glued to her, nearly popping out.

"Who’s this chick? Never seen her before."

"Must be new. Tastes good! I wonder if she offers ’special services’? If not..."

"Here, which dancer hasn’t offered ’special services’? Even if she holds herself high now, in the end, she’ll be like the other women. Women are like shoes, they will have an owner, someone who will wear them sooner or later!"

...

The men ogled the dancing girl on stage. Some fantasized about her, some took out their phones to record the scene, and some even imitated ancient ways, pulling out wads of cash to throw at the stage.

Hundred-yuan bills fell at the girl’s feet, and though she paused momentarily, she continued dancing as if nothing had happened.

I watched coldly at everything happening before me; my fingers clenched tighter and tighter, creaking.

Three years apart, even from a distance, even in the dim lights, even though she was just a silhouette on stage, I could still recognize her in one glance. In my impression, though she was spoiled and arrogant, she had never seemed so... cheap and degrading.

Couldn’t she hear the filthy words from the men below the stage? Didn’t she care at all? Or, as long as they threw enough money at her, they could do whatever they wanted?

How could she allow herself to degrade to such a level?

I scanned the men below the stage coldly, seeing them holding their phones, eyes glued to her. As a man, I could see their dirty thoughts at once. I feared countless men below the stage were plotting against Lin Yixun right then.

Yet she had no idea how dangerous her situation was.

I averted my gaze coldly and spoke to Old He beside me, "No one leaves here tonight with any photos or videos."

"?" Old He looked perplexed, then widened his eyes in shock. "Boss, there are so many people here. Deleting every photo and video might be difficult."

"If you find it difficult, there’s always someone else who can handle it."

I wasn’t joking with Old He. If he couldn’t get the job done, I wouldn’t hesitate to kick him out.

In the end, Old He didn’t let me down. Through threats and bribes, he successfully got all the photos and videos deleted.

After leaving the dance floor, I returned to the car. An hour later, I saw Lin Yixun walk out of Nightshade.

I didn’t get out of the car but had Old He convey my message to her.

"Miss Lin, the boss asked me to tell you this place isn’t suitable for you."

"Then what place is suitable for me? Back then, he didn’t want me to stay at A University, so I left. Later, he felt my presence in A City was an eyesore, and again, I complied and left. Now, even when I’m struggling to survive in a place like this, he still won’t allow it? Does he hate me that much?"

Through the car window, I saw her lips curl into a cold smile, her eyes filled with a hatred as deep as still water.

She hates me!

This realization cut through my heart like a sharp blade. I ruined her family, made her homeless. It’s only natural for her to hate me, and I had long expected this outcome.

But when I truly faced it, I found my chest throbbing with dull pain. I think this is why I didn’t step out of the car.

I didn’t want to get out, no, I didn’t dare. Afraid of facing her, afraid of seeing the hatred in her eyes.
