The World Kissed Me with Pain, Yet I Repaid It with Song

Shen Yuxuan's pupils contracted sharply. Trembling, she reached out, picked up the file laid on the desk, and began to read.

[Name: Xiao Chen]

[Identity: Leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group in Africa]

[Danger Level: S]

[Record: Smuggling and trafficking human organs, assassinating the leader of Riwago, assassinating political figures from multiple countries, trafficking arms with the intent of inciting war across Africa...]

The top-secret file clearly documented the countless crimes committed by the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group in Africa, as well as a detailed biography of its leader, Xiao Chen. At the bottom was the official seal of the Jiangzhou Provincial Public Security Department, guaranteeing the authenticity of the classified file.

With a snap, the top-secret file slipped from Shen Yuxuan's fingertips. Her already pale face turned even whiter, terror flickering in her eyes as she staggered several steps backward, seemingly unable to accept the established fact before her.

Though she had no idea why Jiang Che had managed to obtain a top-secret file sealed away by the provincial department, Shen Yuxuan no longer had the slightest doubt about anything he had said.

The last trace of wishful thinking in her heart vanished, and the boulder that had been hanging over her heart finally came crashing down.

An unprecedented sense of fear and desolation began spreading through Shen Yuxuan's heart.

Six years had passed in the blink of an eye. Everything had long since changed beyond recognition.

Shen Yuxuan had imagined countless times what Xiao Chen had been doing during the years he had been away, but she had never imagined that he would become the leader of an overseas terrorist organization—the kind of person she feared and loathed most.

The world kissed me with pain, yet I repaid it with song.

That phrase was the best description of Shen Yuxuan's character.

Although life had never been particularly kind to her over the years, Shen Yuxuan had never wallowed in self-pity. She remained optimistic and positive, always full of hope for life.

Shen Yuxuan was deeply grateful to the orphanage that had taken her in, and grateful to the old dean. That was why she had come to regard Sunshine Orphanage completely as her own home.

A young girl with sound values, a cheerful disposition, and a touch of timidity and inferiority would naturally have no favorable impression of an evil organization like the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, which committed every conceivable atrocity.

In the original story, even after Xiao Chen reunited with Shen Yuxuan, he had not dared reveal his true identity. He concealed it for a long time and only dared tell her after winning her heart.

But now, he no longer had that chance.

"Ah..."

"I never thought Xiao Chen would end up like this..."

After reviewing all the evidence Jiang Che had brought out, the old dean's expression became incomparably complicated. She let out a quiet sigh.

Xiao Chen was a child she had watched grow up. The old dean had never imagined that the sunny, cheerful boy from back then would ultimately become a demon who killed without blinking. Her heart could not calm for a long while.

"Thank you, Boss Jiang, for telling us the truth..."

"If Xiao Chen truly returns to the orphanage, I will call the police immediately!"

Having lived a full life, the old dean quickly composed herself. Her tone filled with gratitude, she bent slightly at the waist and bowed to Jiang Che.

"You're too polite, Dean..."

Jiang Che smiled faintly, helped the elderly woman up, and guided her to a nearby seat. Then he turned his gaze toward Shen Yuxuan and offered her some comfort.

"People change..."

If you can't find it by Search Book Title, try Search Author. Maybe it was just Renamed!

"The Xiao Chen of today is no longer the Xiao Chen you remember, Junior. You don't need to take it too much to heart..."

Seeing Shen Yuxuan's utterly distraught appearance, Jiang Che knew that his plan had succeeded completely.

He was now looking forward to it—looking forward to Xiao Chen being released from the Police Station in a couple of days, eagerly returning to the orphanage to see the childhood sweetheart who had accompanied him throughout his youth, only for her to want to send him right back in with a single call to the police.

What kind of deadpan expression would Xiao Chen have then?

"Thank you, Senior Jiang..."

Shen Yuxuan sniffled, forcing a faint smile onto her face. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Jiang Che also grew increasingly gentle.

Senior Jiang really was an incredibly gentle person~

Not only had he funded the renovation of Sunshine Orphanage, but after learning of Xiao Chen's deep ties to the orphanage, he had not cut off his support. Instead, he had personally come to tell them Xiao Chen's true identity and warn them.

Senior Jiang was clearly such a gentle and kind person, yet Xiao Chen still deliberately targeted him.

At that moment, Shen Yuxuan's hatred for Xiao Chen grew even stronger.

Likewise, because of Xiao Chen, Shen Yuxuan now always felt somewhat guilty whenever she faced Jiang Che.

Jiang Che was so devoted to charity, yet he was targeted by Xiao Chen—a butcher who had come from the orphanage and become capable of every evil. Was this really proof that good people never received good endings?

Thinking of this, the sensitive girl felt even more guilty.

[Shen Yuxuan felt deeply guilty. Emotion Points +2233...]

[Shen Yuxuan's heart fluttered. Emotion Points +4455...]

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first..."

After chatting with the two of them for a while longer, Jiang Che glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that it had unknowingly reached five in the afternoon. He decided to leave directly.

Having completely ruined Xiao Chen's image in Shen Yuxuan's heart and made any possibility between the two of them impossible, Jiang Che had no intention of staying any longer.

Winning over a Little White Rabbit Female Lead like Shen Yuxuan was not something that could be done overnight. Jiang Che was in no hurry.

After all, porridge simmered slowly over low heat was the most delicious.

Different women required different strategies. When dealing with Leng Qingqiu, he had to be domineering enough, leaving a powerful impression on her before proceeding with his pursuit.

For a bad girl like Li Yanran, he could easily keep her in hand through a mix of threats, temptation, favor, and pressure.

Before a Little White Rabbit Female Lead like Shen Yuxuan, Jiang Che did not need to be deliberate at all. He only needed to maintain his persona as a refined young master, and the little white rabbit would sooner or later throw herself into his arms.

After all, Shen Yuxuan had already harbored favorable feelings toward him. With his investment in renovating the Orphanage and what had just happened as a foundation, those feelings would naturally grow even stronger.

Having just gained twenty thousand Emotion Points from Shen Yuxuan, Jiang Che could hardly wait to return to Qingteng Villa and perform a ten-pull.

Besides, the Hummingbird Robot had already recorded the footage of Xiao Chen getting railed last night. Jiang Che still needed to arrange for someone to edit and release it, making the guy go completely viral overseas.

Well, not just overseas. It also had to be posted on the dark web and some porn sites.

Jiang Che wickedly imagined Xiao Chen, unable to bear the loneliness late at night after getting out of prison, opening a porn site to relieve himself—only to discover that the homepage's featured recommendation was actually about him: Prison Storm...

Wouldn't the King of Soldiers be furious enough to die on the spot?
