Reborn: Married to the Demon King

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Has Cheng Lie Met with an Accident?

And Cheng Lie was preparing to leave for his appointment.

However, just as he stepped out of the hotel, a woman lunged toward him. If Zhao Pan hadn't reacted quickly

and stepped in front of the woman, she might have already thrown herself at him.

"Cheng Lie, you're so cruel! How could you treat your biological father like this? Do you even have a heart?"

The woman's voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of people around them.

It was only then that Cheng Lie realized the woman wasn’t anyone else—it was Zhao Haishuang.

After stapart, Zhao Haishuang no longer resembled the woman he remembered.

The woman who had once treasured her face as a priceless gem had grown increasingly hideous after her

disfigurement.

And now, she also seemed mentally unstable, her eyes wild and fixated madly on him.

Cheng Lie showed no fear of Zhao Haishuang’s gaze—he only felt curious. How had Zhao Haishuang learned he

was back?

His cold gaze met Zhao Haishuang’s, making her feel a chill deep in her heart. But as she reflected on the life

she had been living—neither human nor ghost-like—all of her former glory reduced to nothing, her husband in

prison, her son dead, and herself left utterly alone—she realized she was tired of living.

So, before she died, she decided to drag Cheng Lie to hell along with her.

Staring at Cheng Lie, she murmured, "Cheng Lie, the matter with your mother—it was me. But you'll never be

able to find the evidence."

Her gaze shimmered with a frenzied hue. The corners of her lips lifted into a smile. "And one more thing you

don’t know—OId Cheng isn’t your father. Your biological father has been dead for years."

Cheng Lie’s pupils contracted upon hearing Zhao Haishuang’s words. He stared at her in disbelief, something

deep inside him shuddering. Yet, quickly, he tamped it down, though his hands at his sides clenched tightly

without him realizing.

After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, "What did you say?"

Zhao Haishuang’s smile deepened, growing even more sinister. "You're not Old Cheng’s son. You have no

connection to us. It’s just that Old Cheng liked your mother and decided to take you in. Isn't that no different

from adopting a bastard child?"

And so, she had vented all her fury on Cheng Lie.

Of course, this was something she had discovered by accident later on.

Before that, Cheng Guomin frequently sought out the woman. She had assumed he was having an affair, that

Cheng Lie was his illegitimate child. Enraged, she devised a plan to eliminate both the woman and the bastard

child.

But who would have thought Cheng Lie would survive against all odds?

Yet when Cheng Guomin brought him back, it marked the beginning of his hellish life.

Later, Zhao Haishuang learned sof Cheng Guomin’s secrets. But because both of them harbored their own

agendas, she had deliberately concealed those secrets to alleviate sof her guilt.

Fast forward to now, that guilty conscience seemed to have completely vanished into thin air.

Cheng Lie’s dark, pitch-black eyes locked onto Zhao Haishuang, devoid of any visible emotion. But anyone who

looked at him would realize that his calm gaze was merely the calm before the storm.

Zhao Pan, having been with Cheng Lie long enough, had learned his temper well. At that moment, he knew Mr.

Cheng was furious—a rage so fierce that the woman before him was doomed.

But in such a public setting, Zhao Pan thought Mr. Cheng needed to rein himself in.

He quickly said to Cheng Lie, "Mr. Cheng, Miss Yun is still waiting for you."

When he mentioned Yun Shifei, Cheng Lie’s eyes flickered briefly, as if coming back to his senses. Yet he felt that

sthings still needed to be clarified.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Absolutely true." Zhao Haishuang’s grin was chillingly grotesque, completely ignoring Cheng Lie’s smoldering

fury. "You never expected this, did you? Seeing how ruthless you've bectoday, | wish I'd killed you back

then."

Her thoughts drifted back to over a decade ago, when Cheng Lie had first stepped into the Cheng Family—a

small, fragile child, as delicate as a sapling that could be snapped with just a little force.

And yet, she hadn't dared to act at the time. If she had, her life wouldn't have turned into the miserable mess it

was now.

Cheng Lie stared at Zhao Haishuang’s hideously distorted face, a flood of memories rushing through his mind.

In his past ten-plus years, the only moments of happiness were the times he spent with his mother as a child,

and those with Yun Shifei...

But the rest—a life so difficult it nearly killed him—he remembered all too well, every cruel detail etched deeply

into his soul.

In the past, he had thought he was an illegitimate child and even questioned whether it was his fault.

But now, Zhao Haishuang had told him he wasn’t a bastard at all, that he had no connection to them

whatsoever. And it was solely because Cheng Guomin had desired his mother that she had died, that he had

barely survived.

The thought made Cheng Lie’s gaze grow colder and darker, as though the demon he had buried within his body

was now clawing its way out, piece by piece.

Zhao Haishuang kept talking, cursing his mother, cursing him.

Zhao Pan wished he could throw her out—this woman was too venomous, too maddening.

Didn't she realize Mr. Cheng’s emotions were unstable?

But before Zhao Pan could act, Cheng Lie had already lunged forward. His movements were so swift that Zhao

Pan didn’t even catch them.

When he cto his senses, all he could hear was Zhao Haishuang’s scream piercing the air.

Zhao Haishuang had been knocked to the ground, and Cheng Lie was grinding his shoe against her face.

Her face—already deformed from excessive cosmetic surgeries—had almost no original features left.

Under Cheng Lie’s relentless pressure, the implants shifted, causing unbearable pain that made her scream at

the top of her lungs.

But Cheng Lie didn’t stop. He wanted to crush her face entirely.

His foot pressed harder, grinding

Watching this, Zhao Pan’s heart raced with panic. He quickly pulled Cheng Lie away.

By now, the crowd had gathered, scalling the police.

Others stepped forward to help the collapsed Zhao Haishuang.

Many people watched Cheng Lie with expressions as though they were staring at a madman.

Yet the man stood motionless, his figure still, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

Seeing this, Zhao Pan knew things had taken a terrible turn. He hurriedly called Qin Chi Jin on the phone.

He never expected Mr. Cheng'’s visit to South City to escalate to such chaos.

What was to be done now?

If word got out, if the business partners caught wind of this, or if Mr. Cheng were sent to jail...

Zhao Pan dared not imagine the consequences.

The tticked past ten o'clock, yet Cheng Lie still hadn't shown up.

Thirty minutes late, Yun Shifei frowned. This wasn't like Cheng Lie.

Typically, if Cheng Lie was running late, he would call ahead to notify her.

Could something have happened to Cheng Lie?
