Outside the "Golden Coast" towering in the skies of Mo City, a beige Fukang taxi came to a stop, and a figure swiftly got out, dashing into the building.
Zhou Dagen was busy paying the taxi fare when he saw Su Ziceng bypassing the protective netting outside the building, disregarding the cement blocks and scraps of paper on the ground.
Su Ziceng didn’t wait for Zhou Dagen and ran into the elevator alone. The elevator numbers ticked down rapidly; all she hoped now was that Su Qingzhang wasn’t gone yet...
The elevator’s movement between floors seemed extraordinarily long; time appeared to have frozen. The "ding" of the doors opening made Su Ziceng even more tense.
She stood on the platform seventy floors up, dumbstruck by the desolately empty platform. How could there be no one?
Su Ziceng searched around the platform, she even checked around the outermost perimeter of the building. The deadly wind kept blowing up from below, showing no signs that Su Qingzhang had ever been there.
Could that porter be lying? Zhou Dagen came up, surveyed the area, and reached the same conclusion as Su Ziceng: Su Qingzhang wasn’t there.
Yan Wuxu’s expression, when she saw Pello and Su Qingzhang, exactly mirrored Su Ziceng’s at this moment.
Pello, who was originally waiting diligently in the library, stood up from the corner Su Qingzhang had frequented over the past few days, soon after asked her to stay and continue waiting for Su Qingzhang, but he left first himself.
Just as dusk approached, and Yan Wuxu thought it impossible to see Su Qingzhang today, Pello suddenly appeared pushing Su Qingzhang into sight.
The two, with their clothes and hair disheveled by the wind, it was hard to tell who was more angered. Pello, earlier sitting in the corner of the library Su Qingzhang frequented, wanted to see what Su Qingzhang could see through the windows from this corner.
The look of the old Qiao Family mansion, the semi-scape of Zone 1, or perhaps those falling leaf vines, or maybe...
Shang Yin put it rightly, Su Qingzhang is a tough person at heart, preferring to be shattered than to be intact unscrupulously. The bankruptcy of the Su Family was undoubtedly orchestrated by himself. Yan Wuxu also clenched her teeth and said, "That old rogue, it must have been preplanned by him; he shipped away everything valuable under Su Ziceng’s name, even her clothes and shoes, leaving nothing for me."
Su Qingzhang, with such a meticulous mind, how could he just disappear out of the blue, silently and permanently like a pebble thrown into the ocean.
He is bound to cause a storm, even if he is no longer in control and disabled, he wouldn’t just fade away without a trace.
When Pello looked out the window again, all the previous scenery had blurred. He saw one place. The "Golden Coast" that stands in the distance, visible from any angle in Mo City.
At this moment, if he were Su Qingzhang, what would he do? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
That’s why Pello stopped Su Qingzhang at that critical moment.
Seeing the face of Su Qingzhang, which had haunted him with resentment for over a decade, and hearing his harsh words, Pello thought, let him die, even if it cost a whole skyscraper. Only through death could Su Qingzhang repay his sins; everything he did was irredeemable, even if he died thousands or millions of times, it wouldn’t be enough.
But just as the wheelchair was about to be pushed off the high building, Pello felt the ring in his chest, the Red Love wrapped in silk velvet, grow warm, right at his heart.
He seemed to see Su Ziceng, or perhaps a woman resembling Su Ziceng. If he pushed Su Qingzhang down, what would be irreversibly damaged was his relationship with Su Ziceng.
That single thought successfully stopped the deadly impulsion in Pello’s heart, he and Su Ziceng... what relationship do they have left to speak of.
Su Qingzhang, too, was surprised by Pello’s sudden change of mind. Just as he was about to be pushed off the building, he distinctly felt an immense hatred emanating from Pello, yet in an instant, that hatred seemed to be replaced by another sentiment. Even the motion of pulling back the wheelchair seemed much gentler.
