"Of course not alone. You came to me, didn't you, for them? I'll bring them to you now."
With that, he carried a delicate small wooden box from behind and handed it to Jiang Nan Fang.
She knew what was inside without looking.
For over two months, even though the children were gone, Jiang Nan Fang had been deceiving herself into not believing it until she saw this.
At this moment, seeing him hand over the item, she immediately clutched her face, trembling with pain and anger.
"I didn't come for this! Don't give me this! I want my children! I want my Tian Tian, I want my Jing Yu! Zhan Bei Jue, give them back to me!"
Zhan Bei Jue looked at her, so agitated she was almost deranged, and felt an indescribable heartache.
He was so afraid she would faint, so much so that he wanted to reach out and pull her into his arms, but...
"It's come to this, and it wasn't my intention. Besides, saying these things is meaningless now. Jiang Nan Fang, we are both adults, and we must learn to accept reality."
He walked in and placed the box on the coffee table.
"Regarding the children, consider it a debt I owe you. So, I won't hold anything against you today, no matter what you do. But this is only this once."
"You're right. Our paths diverge, and we cannot conspire together. Since there are no longer any ties between us, it's best if we don't see each other again."
He says that nicely, but two living little beings are gone just like that. Does he think I can let it go so easily?
If I cut up a few of your torn clothes and burned down a few of your dilapidated houses, would we be even?
Jiang Nan Fang looked up, her eyes teary and her face contorted, at him.
"Impossible, Zhan Bei Jue. As long as you don't return my living children, I will never let you go!"
"Indeed, our paths diverge, and we should not conspire together, but who told you to provoke my children?"
"If you don't return my children, I'll stick to you like a stubborn patch, and I won't let you have peace. You can try me!"
Zhan Bei Jue was clearly taken aback by her words.
Looking at her fierce and desperate eyes, he paused for two seconds and looked away.
"Rui Rui and Ge'er are also your children. Thinking of them, don't you feel anything doing this to me?"
He still has the nerve to mention Rui Rui and Ge'er?
Jiang Nan Fang gave a bitter laugh. "Can I even think of them?"
"With a father as powerful as you, you can transfer them to another school with a word, and erase their traces with another. Even if I wanted to think of them, would you give me the chance?"
Indeed.
Zhan Bei Jue had already moved the children abroad. Without his permission, Jiang Nan Fang would never find them in this lifetime.
Her current reaction was not excessive.
"Regardless, I want to advise you, Jiang Nan Fang, you are no match for me. Don't try to cause trouble with me."
"Without the children and the sentiment of being an ex-wife, if I become ruthless, you won't be able to handle it."
"Heh, so before, I didn't die by your hand because you showed me mercy out of consideration for the children and our past as husband and wife?"
Jiang Nan Fang sneered.
"You think too highly of yourself, Zhan Bei Jue. How do you know I haven't shown you mercy out of consideration for the children and our past as husband and wife?"
Zhan Bei Jue was rendered speechless by her retort and looked at her coldly.
"So, you really intend to entangle with me until the end?"
"That's right! From now on, whether you're working, walking, eating, drinking, or sleeping, be careful."
"You never know when I might suddenly appear before you to take your life!"
"I hope you have the ability." Zhan Bei Jue really didn't know how this conversation could continue, so he turned to leave.
"In any case, I've already warned you of the consequences. I don't have time to waste with you, I'm leaving."
He had only been present for about two minutes.
Looking at the small box he left behind, Jiang Nan Fang had to admit that her recently filled health bar had been depleted by half again.
The two little lives she had doted on for six years with half her life and strength had now become these two small boxes.
What a tragic human drama.
He still had the nerve to be busy?
Busy with what?
Busy earning money to spend on his future children with someone else?
She stared at the box for over ten seconds.
Originally, out of consideration for Ge'er and Rui Rui, Jiang Nan Fang hadn't wanted him to die directly, but now she changed her mind.
She went mad, grabbed the car keys, closed the door, and rushed towards the elevator, following his footsteps.
As the elevator doors closed, the numbers rapidly descended.
Jiang Nan Fang couldn't wait for the next elevator, so she turned and ran to the stairwell.
Zhan Bei Jue had just entered the parking lot downstairs, got into his car, and turned it around. Jiang Nan Fang also caught up to the parking lot.
With a few quick maneuvers, she turned the car around and chased after Zhan Bei Jue, speeding out.
Zhan Bei Jue saw a black Mercedes without a license plate rapidly chasing him in the rearview mirror. Guessing it was Jiang Nan Fang, he accelerated.
However, Jiang Nan Fang seemed determined to risk her life, chasing him as fast as she could. In less than half a minute, they were on a busy road teeming with people.
Having just lost her children, she was now disoriented. Zhan Bei Jue didn't want to indulge her madness.
He skillfully overtook the vehicles ahead, dodging her.
Jiang Nan Fang pursued relentlessly, weaving through the numerous cars, causing widespread complaints and a cacophony of car horns on the road.
They continued this chase and evasion for two blocks, and finally, a red light appeared ahead.
Zhan Bei Jue stopped, gambling that she still had a shred of rationality left.
However, he underestimated Jiang Nan Fang's pain.
As if she hadn't seen the red light, she rammed into him fiercely.
With a loud roar, Zhan Bei Jue, along with his car, was sent flying across the road by her impact.
Fortunately, no cars were passing at that moment, otherwise, he would have been dead or crippled today.
There were traffic police on duty at the intersection. Seeing the car accident, they rushed over.
Zhan Bei Jue saw in his rearview mirror that Jiang Nan Fang had no intention of stopping and was still charging straight at him. He quickly opened the car door and got out.
Fortunately, the traffic police also saw it and blocked him before anything else could happen.
They blew their whistles at Jiang Nan Fang and signaled her to stop.
If it weren't for the fear of harming two innocent lives, Jiang Nan Fang would have really wanted to step on the gas and finish Zhan Bei Jue right then and there.
Finally, reason overcame madness. The moment the front of her car touched the traffic police's pants, she stopped.
The traffic police were furious, banging on the car window and calling for Jiang Nan Fang to get out, asking what was going on.
Did she have a driver's license? Could she drive? Had she been drinking? How could she drive like that?
Jiang Nan Fang got out, prepared to be lectured by the traffic police and then settle the matter with a fine.
However, when she got out, Zhan Bei Jue said to the traffic police.
"No need to check, I know her. We are friends."
"This car she's driving is mine. The brakes have some issues. She was helping me drive it to the 4S shop for repairs. I didn't expect problems to arise halfway."
"I apologize for the trouble caused to your work due to our improper handling."
