But it was too late; Lin Yuyao had already fallen into a three-meter-deep pit.

The second brother immediately realized that this was a trap dug by the hunters. His face turned pale, and he looked around warily.

However, someone suddenly jumped down from above and stomped the second brother to the ground.

The stiff, cold object pointed at the second brother's forehead, and the second brother dared not move at all.

Lin Yuyao, who was below, did not expect there to be a trap. After realizing it, she cried out for help in pain.

"Second brother, save me!"

"Second brother, second brother?"

Lin Yuyao didn't hear her second brother's reply, and she panicked. She didn't know if he had left or if he had been tricked.

If it's the former...

Lin Yuyao didn't know what to do.

The next second, Chen Jiayi looked down from the edge of the pit.

Upon seeing Chen Jiayi's face, Lin Yuyao immediately realized that her second brother had been taken into custody.

Otherwise, Chen Jiayi wouldn't dare to be so blatant.

Lin Yuyao's face was extremely gloomy, and she said through gritted teeth, "Chen Jiayi, you're lucky this time. Do you think you can be this lucky every time? If I had known that Chen Jiahua was your brother, I would never have let Chen Jiahua kill you, but would have let someone else kill you!"

Because of her lower position, Lin Yuyao had to look down at Chen Jiayi.

Chen Jiayi's expression was indifferent, and her eyes were extremely cold.

"Then what?"

She scoffed, "I don't know if I'm lucky or not, but you're definitely unlucky."

It's already in her hands, yet she still makes a fuss.

The second brother, who was standing to one side, had already been subdued by Officer Zhao.

Soon, other police officers arrived.

They never expected that Chen Jiayi and Officer Zhao would actually be able to subdue the two crime ringleaders, Second Brother and Lin Yuyao.

The second brother was handcuffed and left with the police, looking utterly defeated.

The remaining people pulled Lin Yuyao out of the water, then restrained her and took her back.

Before being taken away, Lin Yuyao looked back at Chen Jiayi with a resentful expression.

Although Chen Jiayi was disheveled, her eyes were bright, and she didn't look like someone who had suffered a lot.

Lin Yuyao suddenly burst into laughter.

A police officer on the side reached out and gently pushed Lin Yuyao.

"Comrade, it's time to go."

It was as if reminding Lin Yuyao that their paths would diverge greatly from now on, and they would go their separate ways.

From that moment on, their paths would never cross again.

Chen Jiayi will stand on a shining stage in the future and become an outstanding person.

Lin Yuyao will spend the rest of her life in prison.

.

Haicheng.

Shen Jialiang was busy for several days and finally finished. He subconsciously went to look for Chen Jiayi, but he did not see Chen Jiayi in the classroom.

He frowned, assuming Chen Jiayi had gone back to her dorm.

Chi Mengqiu saw Shen Jialiang at the door, and she walked to the door and said to Shen Jialiang.

Looking for Chen Jiayi?

The soundproofing is so-so; if the sound is a little loud, Shen Jialiang can basically hear what the other person is saying.

So when she heard Shen Jialiang say yes, Chi Mengqiu's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"Didn't Chen Jiayi go home? Didn't you know?"

Shen Jialiang paused. "Got home? When?"

He immediately went to the front desk and made a phone call to the Chen family.

However, at this moment in the Chen family, Chen Qiming looked at Chen Jiayi with a serious and solemn expression, while Lan Meixuan on the side also looked very bad.

Chen Jiayi sat on the sofa, not daring to utter a sound.

Just then, the phone rang, breaking the silence.

Lan Meixuan glared at Chen Jiayi, then walked over and answered the phone.

Upon hearing that it was Shen Jialiang, Lan Meixuan's expression immediately turned into a smile.

"Xiao Shen, you have no idea what Jia Yi did while you were away. Do you know what she did? On the way to a funeral, she actually teamed up with the police and went alone to lure the bad guys away..."

Originally, Chen Jiayi wanted to stop Lan Meixuan from telling Shen Jialiang.

As a result, Lan Meixuan spoke too quickly and blurted it out in one go.

Chen Jiayi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second she saw Lan Meixuan glance at her sideways, her tone feigning happiness.

"What? You're coming to pick Jiayi up? Okay."

Chen Jiayi: "..."

She said with some helplessness that she was not alone.

However, her family was very angry about her acting on her own initiative.

Chen Jiayi didn't dare tell them what else she had encountered in Lotus Town...

A short while later, Shen Jialiang appeared.

When he arrived at the Chen family home, Chen Jiayi was hanging her head, being scolded like a pitiful little dog.

She remained silent. When she saw Shen Jialiang arrive, she merely raised her eyelids to glance at him lazily before listlessly lowering her eyes and remaining silent.

Lan Meixuan complained to Shen Jialiang, "You have no idea how threatening she was! What would she have done if the other party hadn't fallen into the trap?"

Lan Meixuan had seen Chen Jiahu die; he had been tortured so badly that there wasn't a single unharmed spot on his body.

What if Chen Jiayi falls into their hands?

Chen Jiayi knew her parents were worried about her, so she remained silent when her mother scolded her.

Chen Qiming sighed, "Xiao Shen is here. Are you staying for dinner tonight?"

Shen Jialiang glanced at Chen Jiayi and, seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, shook his head.

"No, Dad, I'll take Jiajia home first."

Chen Qiming hummed in response, his expression seemingly indifferent, but inwardly he sighed.

This kid is really stubborn.
