Sun Chengbin felt increasingly disgusted and enraged. He beckoned to the bodyguard beside him, "Kill her!"
Sun Chengbin pointed at Ailin, but his eyes looked elsewhere, filled with anger and contempt!
This woman, whom he considered the love of his life, had turned out to be the shame of his life!
"Yes!" After the bodyguard nodded in agreement, he drew his gun and slowly walked towards Ailin.
The oppressive threat of imminent death sent a chill through Ailin's entire body. She had never imagined Sun Chengbin could be so heartless!
"No, Chengbin, I gave you everything. You can't do this to me!"
Ailin scrambled on her hands and knees to Sun Chengbin, desperately clinging to his leg and pleading.
She had originally intended to use Sun Chengbin's hand to kill Wang Erzhu, but she never expected things to turn out this way!
If she had known, she would never have done such a foolish thing, even if it meant death!
"Your everything? The thought alone makes me sick!"
Sun Chengbin sneered. Thinking of their past sweet memories, his clenched fists made cracking sounds!
As the sole heir of the Sun family, he had always been self-disciplined, wishing to find a soulmate to spend his life with. Yet, he had ended up with such a vile woman!
"What are you waiting for? Do it!"
Just as Ailin was about to speak, Sun Chengbin kicked her. Ailin heard the sound of a gun being cocked and was so terrified that her soul seemed to fly out of her body. She scrambled desperately towards Erzhu.
"Mr. Wang, it was all my fault. Please, spare me this once for the sake of my life. I promise I will never seek revenge on you again!"
Seeing that Sun Chengbin would not forgive her, Ailin thought of Erzhu.
Erzhu was close to Sun Chengbin. If Erzhu could put in a good word for her, she might live!
"Mr. Sun, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Erzhu glanced at the blood-stained Ailin, then at Sun Chengbin, and uttered a seemingly unrelated sentence before getting into his car.
Ailin's life or death was their affair, and he didn't want to, nor did he bother to, interfere. All he wanted now was to take Sister Mei home.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Wang. I will have someone send you the new contract tomorrow."
A flicker of gratitude flashed in Sun Chengbin's eyes. He bowed respectfully to Erzhu again and watched him leave.
Had Erzhu truly pleaded for Ailin, Sun Chengbin would have let her go. But if that had happened, Ailin would have remained an eternal scar on Sun Chengbin's heart!
Bang!
A gunshot echoed through the quiet night. Ailin fell to the ground, the blood behind her blooming like a rose!
Her past flashed before her eyes. Only now did she truly understand that all of this was a result of her own arrogance!
She thought that with her beauty, all men in the world should bow down to her!
But the reality was not like that at all...
Alas, she realized it too late!
In the deep autumn woods, Ailin slowly closed her eyes, ending her young life.
Thus, a generation of movie star fell, and Ailin was no more!
In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and Erzhu's Pomegranate Village Tourist Resort officially opened!
The resort, focusing on leisure and wellness, once again made Pomegranate Village the center of attention in Liuzhen!
The opening ceremony was attended not only by Elder Miao and Elder Lin, but also by Elder Fang from Huaibei City and Elder Chen from Kyoto!
In the audience, the new town mayor Lin Yi and the new director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau Zheng Tianqi stared at the high-profile figures with utter shock, especially Zheng Tianqi!
Fortunately, he had enforced the law impartially last time. Otherwise, he would have lost his position and possibly ended up in jail!
"Tsk, tsk, I've heard for a long time that this Wang Erzhu knows influential people, but I never expected him to know so many!" Lin Yi's words jolted Zheng Tianqi back to reality. He nodded with a pale face, gazing at Erzhu with adoration.
"Erzhu, it's been so long since we last met. Don't you miss me at all?"
"Erzhu, you're not being a good friend. You didn't even tell me about your new project!"
"Erzhu, when are you coming to Guangyuan County? My grandfather asks about you every day!"
...
On the other side, Erzhu was surrounded by beautiful women like Wang Xiaomei, Lin Qingqing, and Liu Yan. Seeing Erzhu surrounded by so many beauties, the villagers' eyes were filled with envy, especially the single men in the village.
They didn't ask for all these beauties; if they could have just one, they would die without regret!
"Let's chat more later. Today is the opening ceremony, and I have a lot to do."
Erzhu felt like he was about to be torn apart by Wang Xiaomei and the others. He gave a perfunctory reply and tried to leave.
He really needed to find a way to cut off his romantic entanglements, otherwise, with more and more women, where would this end!
"Alright, then. We'll wait for you at your place after the opening ceremony."
Wang Xiaomei and the others wanted to hold him back, but seeing the crowd at the ceremony, they didn't press further. They looked at Erzhu with shy faces, as if Erzhu were going to honor them with his presence that night.
Erzhu nodded perfunctorily and quickly ran out. He wasn't afraid, he just didn't know how to handle the situation.
"Who allowed you to open? Do you know I bought your village?"
Just as the event was in full swing, a man stepped out of a black luxury car. He was elegantly dressed, with his hair slicked back, and though handsome, his brows were filled with an air of wickedness.
Uncle Liu and others wanted to step forward and inquire, but seeing the dozen or so bodyguards behind the man, no one dared to approach.
"Old man, didn't we agree a few days ago that I bought this village? How dare you sell it to someone else!"
The man looked around as if searching for something. He suddenly spotted Uncle Liu, grabbed him by the collar, and questioned him fiercely.
"Who agreed with you? I've already told you I'm not the village chief anymore, but you just wouldn't believe me!"
"I'm telling you, you better not mess around. There are important people here today!"
Uncle Liu retorted angrily and fearfully, sweat beading on his forehead!
Just a few days ago, this man had come to find him. He claimed to be the young master of the Liu family in Huaibei City and wanted to buy their village to develop it into a tourist resort.
He had told him then that he had already retired, but the young man wouldn't believe him. He left behind ten million yuan as a deposit and then left.
He had thought the young man had found Erzhu by now, but he hadn't. This was going to be a big problem!
"Important people? Are they as important as my Huaibei Liu family? Let me tell you, my father is the richest man in Huaibei City, Liu Lianliang!"
Liu Tiancheng sneered and glanced dismissively at the people at the ceremony.
Important people?
The important figures in this small, broken county town were mere ants in his eyes!
Let alone buying a village, even if he wanted to snatch it, no one would dare to stop him!
"Let go of Uncle Liu!" Just as Liu Tiancheng was about to speak again, an icy voice rang out. He looked up and saw a young boy standing in front of him. This person was none other than Erzhu!
