Chapter 139: Nightmare
“HuMing, when are you coming back to school?”
Ye QiuXue looked at him, a bit of anticipation in her gaze.
But HuMing just waved a hand casually, “I’ll go back eventually, just not yet.” He glanced at Ye QiuXue, a faint hint of emotion in his eyes. “See you next time, Ye QiuXue.”
“Yeah, see you next time.”
Ye QiuXue believed that once things with Lee Tian were resolved, HuMing would come back to school like normal. She turned, quietly closed the door, and leaned against the window, watching his silhouette fade away.

Meanwhile, Lee Tian had sought out Yu YueLuo in person, trying to understand the full story behind everything that had happened.
During this time, his company was nearing collapse, and many in the Lee family were dissatisfied with him, even calling for his removal.
Lee Tian had long since lost the will to manage the business. Right now, all he wanted was revenge against HuMing and the Han family!
Yet, HuMing was slippery. From the Han family’s doorstep, Lee Tian hadn’t even caught a glimpse of him.
It was as if HuMing knew he was there and was purposely staying inside.
Returning home, Lee Tian calmed himself and thought things over carefully.
How had HuMing managed all this? He couldn’t have pulled off so much if he were working alone.
And how had someone gotten into his home? He’d secured his safe and hadn’t allowed anyone inside aside from work matters.
Lee Tian closed his eyes,
It was a city that had brought him wealth but kept him bound for so long.
“Hope that bastard Lee Tian rots in hell.”
Liang Feng muttered under his breath while his wife and child beside him eagerly watched for the train’s arrival.

Under a sky of lightning and thunder, Han YunXi stood staring at the distant cliff, where, just ahead of her, Lee Tian was gripping Han ShuYi’s throat with a crushing force, preventing him from making a sound.
Han ShuYi’s face had turned a sickly purple, clearly struggling for air.
Lee Tian’s mouth moved as he taunted him, but Han YunXi couldn’t make out the words.
Just as she stepped forward, HuMing suddenly appeared from behind at the edge of the cliff.
He grabbed Lee Tian’s hand, which held a gleaming dagger!
HuMing’s face was strained as he struggled to stop Lee Tian, who was thrashing like a madman, trying to plunge the dagger into HuMing’s chest.
As HuMing’s strength waned, he suddenly turned to Han YunXi and gave her a faint smile.
That smile sent a chill through her, a cold sweat breaking out across her body.
She instinctively reached out, but HuMing pushed Lee Tian, and together, they tumbled over the cliff’s edge!
“No!”
Han YunXi’s eyes shot open, and she shouted instinctively, her whole body tense like a startled animal.
She looked around her familiar room, gasping for breath, her back drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, it was just a nightmare...
