Chapter 117: Chapter 117: The Secret Behind It All

Walking out of the ward, Shen Cheng quickly headed towards the corridor exit.

Her vigilance was strong; as soon as she left the ward, she noticed someone was following her, so she quickened her pace.

The faster she walked, the faster the person behind her followed.

When she slowed down, the person behind also slowed down.

In the empty corridor, the hurried footsteps seemed somewhat abrupt.

After completing one floor of stairs, she swiftly turned around at an emergency exit, used her back to push the door open, and cautiously scanned the surroundings as she stepped back.

Up and down the corridor, there was no one in sight.

The person who had been following her seemed to have also taken the opportunity to hide.

Shen Cheng could even feel that, somewhere, a pair of eyes filled with hostility was glaring at her intently.

She narrowed her eyes, turned around quickly, and entered the safety passage, locking the door behind her.

Hurrying through a corridor, at the nurse station, she squeezed into an elevator and pressed the T1 button.

This series of actions was astonishingly quick.

Perhaps, Six years ago, she had already mastered the skill of being Immune to Hundred Poisons.

Even in the face of danger, she could remain fearless and composed.

The elevator wasn’t crowded, with just two patients’ family members and a woman doctor in a white coat.

Shen Cheng stood at the edge, and the female doctor stood next to her, holding a tray with some medical disinfectant and cotton swabs on it.

With just one glance at the female doctor, Shen Cheng noticed something off.

The hospital had a clear policy that doctors were not allowed to wear any jewelry during work hours.

Yet this female doctor was clearly wearing an expensive diamond ring and a pure gold bracelet.

Shen Cheng grew alert because the person standing next to her was an impostor doctor.

That meant this woman was very likely an Assassin sent by her enemies.

Ding—

The elevator door had just opened a sliver when Shen Cheng had already squeezed out sideways.

By the time the elevator door opened completely, the female doctor, coming out, only caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by the hospital entrance before it vanished.

The female doctor promptly threw the tray and other medical items in the garbage bin and hurriedly followed in pursuit, skipping every two steps.

In a corner next to the hospital, Shen Cheng pressed her body against a high wall and peeked towards the hospital.

The female doctor, having emerged from the hospital and finding no one, looked around, then took out her cellphone to make a call and hurried off.

Shen Cheng withdrew her gaze and leaned her head against the wall, taking a deep breath...

Looking up at the sky, her lips unconsciously curled upwards.

Under the sunlight, she was like a seductively blossoming rose, mysteriously beautiful.

She closed her eyes.

Events from Six years ago started playing back in her mind in slow motion—

"Just you two bastards, thinking you can inherit the Shen Family? Ridiculous! Even if all of the Shen’s died, it wouldn’t be your turn!"

"So what if the old man made a will? You’ll need to stay alive to enjoy it!"

"Today, I’ll send you and your family to the west!"

Perhaps, being born into a prominent family, one is destined to face a storm of blood and violence.

Shen Cheng slowly opened her eyes, smiling broadly.

She could no longer remember...

She couldn’t remember how she had escaped from that massive fire...

She couldn’t remember whether she had broken down when she saw her mother being burned alive.

She couldn’t remember more the days spent in hiding and seek with her severely injured brother and Dad, how they had survived.

She couldn’t remember, couldn’t remember any of it...
