All the parties involved in this incident are laid out here. It's neither this nor that. So, apart from the Luo family, the only other possibility for Qi Wei is suicide, but suicide has obviously been ruled out as well.

When all the outcomes no longer apply, even the most unlikely possibility may become a possibility.

"Thinking about it carefully, it's not that unreasonable."

Qin Yiheng slowly began, "Qiwei is a lecherous man. He pursued Jiang Yan unsuccessfully, and then he saw Luo Jinxiu. At that time, Luo Jinxiu was still an ordinary person, staying with Jiang Yan and me. Qiwei saw her and took her to his apartment..."

He paused for a moment, giving Chu Ruoxue time to think, before asking, "Do you think the Luo family can tolerate such a thing happening? Moreover, Qi Wei has been involved in a lot of things, and he has connections with several parties. This kind of person is the least tolerated."

Qin Yiheng's explanation makes perfect sense.

Coveting the eldest daughter of the Luo family, two-faced, treacherous...

Any one of those points is enough to kill Chi-Wei once.

The Luo family wasn't entirely without motives.

Ultimately, however, they had no evidence, and these were all speculations. So Chu Ruoxue posted online again, stating that Qiwei's death was at least unrelated to the Chu family's main branch, and gave a reasonable explanation.

They basically have no motivation.

The Han family, seemingly not wanting to back down, hastily issued a statement saying they didn't know why Qiwei had died suddenly and would have to wait for further investigation.

However, there are some things that people will believe if you tell them, and there are other things that people will stick to their own ideas no matter how much you talk about them.

The death of Chi-Wei is a clear example of this.

[Has the Han and Chu families already started fighting like dogs before they even arrived?]

[You didn't kill him, and he didn't kill him either. Could it be that Qiwei just felt he had enough of life and decided to die? That's a really funny joke.]

This is terrifying! The cause of death for one person hasn't even been determined yet, and now another one has appeared.

Could it be Chu Wei too? Is this guy desperate, planning to kill everyone to save himself?

The comment above is incredibly naive. How could anyone possibly protect themselves? It's more like, "If I die, I'll take someone down with me."

Regardless of the circumstances, justice must be served for the deceased.

In the eyes of netizens, things seemed to have taken an uncontrollable turn, which made the public very uneasy, so some even harsher voices began to spread.

If you ask me, if you big families can't behave yourselves properly, you might as well stop talking about being big families and just act like ordinary people.

Seriously, what have you led us to do? You've made a complete mess of Yuzhou.

[As long as there's no definite news, it won't be over until then.]

I maintain that it's more likely the Han family was behind it, since Qiwei was there and involved in Han Mingrui's death.

Speaking of which, what happened to the person who shot Han Mingrui? We haven't heard from him for so long.

Shen Ru wasn't without news; the little hope she had managed to rekindle in her life was shattered by Qi Wei's death.

Qin Yiheng had told her before, "I saved you, not so that you could die again." Shen Ru was deeply moved and shocked. She tried her best to do as Qin Yiheng said, hoping to return to a normal life as soon as possible.

But why did Chi-Wei die?

Qiwei is dead, is she next?

After thinking it over for a day and a night, Shen Ru wrote a heartbreaking suicide note and handed it to Jiang Yan.

"What does this mean?" Jiang Yan looked at the thick stack of papers, unsure of what to say.

"Yan Yan, you know my situation right now. I can't trust anyone. If I die, please give my will to my family. I only have a little savings left, so give it all to them. I've explained everything in this will, and I believe they'll understand, even if they have no other choice."

Shen Ru had only said two sentences when she began to choke up, and by this point she was completely overwhelmed with tears streaming down her face.

"I am so grateful to you and Qin Yiheng for saving me. Really, I don't know how to thank you enough, but..."

Sometimes she would think that being mentally tormented like this every day was worse than dying, but when she saw that Qiwei was really dead, she felt extremely scared.

Shen Ru had no idea what to do and was suspicious every day.

"May I take a look?" Jiang Yan was only slightly surprised, then shook the letter containing the suicide note.

Shen Ru hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, take a look. You can also help me see if I forgot to say anything."

So Jiang Yan took out the thick stack of papers and read them quickly.

As Shen Ru said, she wrote a lot, from how things first happened, to what happened later, and how it ended...

It was clear that she was getting more and more agitated, and the last few sheets of paper were covered with tear stains, some of which had soaked the ink.

She explained everything in great detail, which explains why so much paper was used.

However, Jiang Yan noticed that Shen Ru repeatedly emphasized, "She didn't really want to kill anyone. She really had no choice. If Han Mingrui hadn't died, she wouldn't have been able to come up with the 30 million. Her fate wouldn't have been any better. These past few days, she's been barely surviving."

She even included Han Mingrui's intention to harm her family in the letter, without worrying at all that her family would panic and be afraid after reading it, or whether it would have any negative effects.

However, this also proves one thing—Shen Ru is still afraid of death.

“Okay, if anything really happens to you, I will definitely deliver these to you.” Jiang Yan returned the papers to the envelope and made a promise to Shen Ru.

Shen Ru originally thought that hearing Jiang Yan say this would put her at ease, but when the time actually came, she felt extremely unwilling.

Did Jiang Yan also believe that she was going to die? Were they not going to save her?

Shen Ru felt she wanted to say something more, but then Jiang Yan called, so Shen Ru had to swallow her words for the time being.

"Hello, is this Jiang Yan, Ms. Jiang?"

A young man's voice came from the other end of the line. Jiang Yan didn't recognize who it was at first, but she answered.

"It's me. And who are you?"

The other party gave a polite laugh, showing no regard for their status, and stated directly.

"I am Han Mingliang."
