CHAPTER 375: CHAPTER 375: FINE

The smile on Ye Chen’s face instantly turned cold: "Yu Dingding, what do you mean? Haven’t you tormented me enough, and now you want to torment Shuangshuang?"

As usual.

Ye Chen was always compliant with Yu Dingding, but whenever it came to Qin Shuang, Ye Chen would unconditionally side with her.

Yu Dingding’s face instantly turned a bloodless pale, her weak and fragile appearance was truly heart-wrenching.

Ye Chen also immediately realized that his overt favoritism for Qin Shuang just now had probably hurt Yu Dingding’s feelings, so he softened his tone and explained:

"Baby, Shuangshuang has a very serious case of asthma. Sending her rashly into a jail cell could kill her."

Yu Dingding suddenly laughed.

It was beautiful, but the expression was fierce, an anger Ye Chen had never seen before, possessing a boldly beautiful charm.

"But Ye Chen, aren’t you curious about what crime she was arrested for? Do you mean to say that even if she’s done something outrageously evil, she should be forgiven time after time just because she has asthma?"

Seeing Yu Dingding like this, Ye Chen felt as if electricity was coursing through his entire body.

It was as if the oxygen in his brain was being depleted in an instant.

He stared at Yu Dingding, his mind a complete blank.

It took a long while before Ye Chen came back to his senses.

"What exactly did she do that’s so evil? You can tell me, and I’ll punish her in my way. There’s no need for such cruel methods that could end her life."

Ye Chen tried to persuade Yu Dingding.

Yu Dingding laughed again.

This time her gaze turned vacant, yet distant.

Ye Chen felt that her eyes were as if there was nothing in this world that could hold her affection.

Even though she was sitting on his lap, her cold, long fingers resting on his face, Ye Chen felt like her heart was a world away from his.

"Ye Chen, do you know why I can no longer be intimate with you? And do you know why my father, who could’ve been released soon, chose to jump off a building instead?"

Yu Dingding’s voice was huskier than before, her eyes were so red as if blood could be wrung from them, but no tears fell.

Because her tears had almost run dry that night after being ruined by those men.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a great panic, even wanting to stop Yu Dingding from telling him the truth.

Because his instincts told him that the reasons Yu Dingding was about to reveal might be a devastating blow to him.

But before Ye Chen could say anything, Yu Dingding took out her phone, opened the chat with Qin Shuang, and clicked on one of the videos sent by Qin Shuang.

Soon, Yu Dingding’s panicked screams came from the video.

"Don’t! Please, don’t touch me!"

Besides Yu Dingding’s voice, there were other men’s voices.

Their words and tone all sounded particularly lecherous.

"So this is Night Color’s top girl, really beautiful! No wonder Young Master Ye likes her so much, keeping her by his side every day, not letting anyone else touch her."

"Thanks to Miss Qin, today we brothers are in luck, getting a taste of what it’s like to enjoy a wealthy man’s high-end private possession."

Earlier when Yu Dingding came in, the wily old detective in charge of the case had excused himself to go out for a smoke, leaving space for Yu Dingding and Ye Chen to converse.

Now, in the empty interrogation room, these sounds seemed to be amplified infinitely, as if the original scene was reenacted.

Ye Chen’s body nearly jolted when he heard this.

He quickly grabbed Yu Dingding’s cellphone and saw a scene he would never forget.

The girl he had pampered all these years since he brought her to Yan City, although sent into Night Color, was brutally stripped by those men in the video.

To her...

Ye Chen felt the blood in his body coursing backward.

"It hurts so much! Ye Chen, come and save me..."

In the video, Yu Dingding was crying helplessly, calling for help.

Those images made Ye Chen wish he could travel back in time and desperately protect Yu Dingding in his arms.

But he couldn’t, he could only watch helplessly as those four people continued to torment her, continued with their obscene language.

"What are you yelling for, hurry up and use those skills you show Young Master Ye, let us brothers have an eye-opener..."

Ye Chen could no longer control himself, he smashed Yu Dingding’s cellphone, eyes reddening as he asked her, "When did this happen, why didn’t you tell me?"

Yu Dingding’s emotions had calmed down quite a bit by now, perhaps she had grown immune after being sent those videos by Qin Shuang so many times.

"What’s the use of telling you? She murders, and you pass her the knife?" Yu Dingding laughed softly, getting off Ye Chen’s legs and picking up the phone that wasn’t far away.

Luckily, the phone was protected by a gaudy case, and even after being thrown that far by Ye Chen, it wasn’t damaged.

After picking it up, Yu Dingding opened another video from Qin Shuang’s chat.

It was another round of torment by those four men.

Still endless screams, still continuous vulgarities.

Yu Dingding handed the cellphone back to Ye Chen again: "There are many more videos, don’t rush to throw it away. Watch them all, see what kind of drama your dear Shuangshuang has arranged for me, and give her a round of applause."

Ye Chen looked at the new round of torment of Yu Dingding on the cellphone, nearly collapsing.

"Can we not watch anymore?" Ye Chen refused to take the cellphone, instead holding Yu Dingding tightly.

But even as he held Yu Dingding, feeling her warmth, Ye Chen couldn’t stop trembling.

He knew Yu Dingding had refused his touch recently, something must have happened, but he had never thought in this direction and couldn’t be bothered to ponder deeply.

However, when these truths were revealed, Ye Chen realized just how scarred the seemingly flawless Yu Dingding was.

But Yu Dingding still asked him: "Why not watch anymore? Ye Chen, you might not know, Qin Shuang sends me these videos every day. It’s okay, you get used to it after watching a few times a day, and you won’t be scared..."

Ye Chen was about to say something when he saw Yu Dingding’s phone exit the video, displaying the recent text messages Qin Shuang had sent.

"Yu Dingding, look at yourself, how cheap you are."

"Yu Dingding, do you think Brother Chen will touch you after watching these videos? He won’t, he’s afraid of getting sick."

"Yu Dingding, I heard your dad jumped off a building after watching the video! I popped champagne for this."

"Yu Dingding, if you don’t get away from Ye Chen, I’ll find a few more people to take turns with you, I mean what I say."

Ye Chen suddenly remembered the recent times when Yu Dingding was clearly very tired and didn’t want to move, but she still insisted on following him out.

Even those rare occasions when he left without notice, Yu Dingding would still follow quickly.

Ye Chen had always thought it was because Yu Dingding was bored at home alone, or maybe she wanted to collect evidence against him, that’s why she always wanted to stick by his side.

But now, combining those messages from Qin Shuang, Ye Chen realized Yu Dingding did it out of fear that such events would befall her again...

The overdue truth made Ye Chen feel as if his heart was being torn apart in pain.
