After abandoning his wife and children, Bo Xilai coaxed and begged her to reconcile.

Bo Sinian went to the kindergarten first, and only when he saw his daughter jumping around did he feel completely relieved.

Then he went to the detention center.

The moment Song Zhaoyun saw him, she excitedly rushed over, but was stopped by the guards.

She trembled all over, her nose turned red, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears as she gazed at him helplessly and affectionately.

Perhaps her pampered upbringing made it unbearable for her to endure the harsh conditions of the detention center. After several days of imprisonment, Song Zhaoyun had lost a lot of weight, and her clothes looked loose and baggy. Her face, devoid of any color, was ashen, and her eyes were covered with dark circles. She exuded a listless and weary air.

Therefore, when she saw Bo Sinian, it was as if she saw a ray of light breaking through the darkness and shining in her boundless despair.

Instinctively, she wanted to grasp the light and embrace it tightly.

"Si Nian, you're finally here! Are you going to take me away from here? I can't stand this awful place any longer." Song Zhaoyun's face lit up with a bright hope, her heart and eyes filled with an urgent desire to get out and be free.

Bo Sinian calmly sat down in front of her.

His unparalleled features were calm and indifferent, revealing no trace of joy or anger. He quietly looked at the person opposite him, his expression somewhat unfathomable.

"Si Nian, what are you thinking about?" Not getting a response from Bo Si Nian, Song Zhaoyun became a little anxious.

"How are you? Have you been doing well these days?" Bo Sinian asked expressionlessly, without a trace of warmth.

Song Zhaoyun was surprised that he would ask such a question: Who would be perfectly comfortable in a detention center?

The initial enthusiasm for seeing her cooled abruptly. Regaining a sliver of reason, she realized something was wrong with Bo Sinian's attitude. "This isn't good, not good at all. Didn't you come to pick me up?"

Bo Sinian's gaze remained unmoved, his attitude distant, as he simply stared at her quietly.

Under his scrutinizing gaze, Song Zhaoyun felt extremely uneasy, as if all his thoughts had been seen through and he had nowhere to hide.

"I...I miss you so much, I miss Yiyi so much. How is Yiyi? Does she miss me? Has she tried to contact me?" Song Zhaoyun quickly added, trying to guess his thoughts.

She was somewhat annoyed; she should have mentioned Bo Yi as soon as Bo Sinian arrived.

"If you cared about Yiyi, why did you do all these things in the first place? Why didn't you think about the consequences before you did them?" Bo Sinian's eyes flashed with sharpness, his voice was deep and heavy, carrying an innate sense of oppression.

"I...I care about you too much! I'm so afraid of losing you. I lost you once six years ago, so I will never allow myself to repeat the same mistake," Song Zhaoyun said almost obsessively.

Bo Sinian: "..." Six years ago? Did she have herself six years ago? How could she have lost her?

"Too afraid of losing me?" Bo Sinian chuckled softly, his laughter devoid of any warmth, filled only with coldness and disdain.

His gaze fell lightly on her, and he repeated, "Too afraid of losing me? So you encouraged others to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoyun trembled violently, his pupils dilated slightly, and he instinctively shrank back, his expression freezing instantly.

"I... what are you saying? I don't understand." Her eyes darted around, her voice trembled slightly, and she pretended to be completely bewildered.

"Don't understand? You don't know Jiang Tiancheng?" Bo Sinian asked in a very calm and flat tone, his face cold and stern, as if the person in front of him was not worth him expending any emotion.

The anticipation that had arisen from his arrival vanished instantly. Song Zhaoyun's shoulders hunched, and she subconsciously shook her head. "I don't know him, really! Si Nian, you have to believe me! It was Jiang Tiancheng who slandered me! No... no, how can you believe the words of someone with mental problems?"

Bo Sinian's expression remained unchanged. "If you don't know Jiang Tiancheng, how do you know he has mental problems?"

Song Zhaoyun's pupils contracted, and the feigned confusion and innocence shattered completely, revealing her panic and fear on her face. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Bo Sinian was not interested in her attempts to argue. When she reached a point of extreme fear, he casually said, "I can find a way to get you out."

Song Zhaoyun was stunned again; her reaction was completely out of sync with Bo Sinian's pace.

She stared at Bo Sinian with surprise, somewhat puzzled as to what he meant.

But the prospect of going out was undoubtedly a huge temptation for her right now. Despite her surprise, she remained rational. "So there are conditions, right?"

He sat calmly and composedly, without any haste. That air of complete control pressed down on Song Zhaoyun across from him, making him feel increasingly uneasy.

"I already told you the conditions last time."

Last time?

After recalling for a moment, Song Zhaoyun seemed to remember, and his face paled even more.

The last time he was in his office, he first expressed his intention to "leave the mother and keep the daughter" and asked her to name her price.

So even now, Bo Sinian has not given up on this idea?

He wants to trade her freedom for a complete break from her?

He actually threatened her with her freedom?

Song Zhaoyun felt as if he had been torn to pieces once again.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she instantly burst into sobs, "Why? Si Nian, after all these years of our relationship, don't you have any regrets at all? Yi Yi is still so young, don't you want to give her a complete family? I promise, I promise I will be a good mother."

Her arguments had no effect whatsoever on Bo Sinian. No matter how eloquently she spoke, she could not sway Bo Sinian's judgment.

"I gave you three years, but you don't seem to have learned how to be a mother. To your Song family, Bo Yi seems to be just a convenient tool that can be used at any time?"

Song Zhaoyun shook her head frantically, "No! It's not like that! Sinian, you've misunderstood... I, I'm just... it's my first time being a mother, so I'm just clumsy. In our family, my maternal grandparents and great-grandmother all love Yiyi very much and dote on her."

"Is that so?" Bo Sinian sneered. "You love her so much that you'd leave her alone in an unfamiliar kindergarten just to use Bo Yi to force me to return to China?"

Song Zhaoyun was unaware of this matter, but she knew that the Song family was capable of doing it.

She was panicking inside, but her eyes betrayed her grievance as she tried her best to maintain an innocent image. "No, this must be a misunderstanding. Si Nian, please don't condemn me and my family so easily, okay?"

"Or... have you rekindled your old feelings for Song Jin? She never loved you. Have you forgotten how she betrayed you? She's been hooking up with Shen Yanzhi for a long time!" Song Zhaoyun ripped open his old wounds once again.

A flicker of pain crossed Bo Sinian's eyes. He clenched his fist slightly, his right hand caressing the plain ring on his left. He spoke in a deep voice, "Since you insist on bringing her up, what was your purpose in sending her a provocative message during her labor, saying that I stayed with you for a whole day and night and gathered all the obstetric experts to protect you?"
