Chapter 609 Let her die in your place

Xia Xingxing is only four years old, a tiny child, barely the size of a palm, so small that you could pick her up with one hand. What bad intentions could such a well-behaved and adorable child possibly have?

Aside from being a little quirky, Xingxing shouldn't have any bad qualities, right?

Li Yancheng arranged everything for Xingxing: a comfortable bed, various snacks and drinks, and the latest computer. He originally wanted to arrange for someone to accompany Xingxing, but he refused. She didn't need anyone's help to take a bath; she was too obedient and sensible.

This was the first time Li Yancheng had ever seen such an easy child. Most importantly, Xingxing would never cause trouble for anyone.

But Yao Qing remained sullen after leaving Xingxing's room: "Young Master Li, is it really okay for us to just let this child run wild like this? I think you're spoiling him too much. Have you forgotten how Huo Nanxiao treated you today?"

Li Yancheng did not hold a grudge against Huo Nanxiao against the child. Instead, he praised Xingxing: "This child made Huo Nanxiao very angry today. It is rare to meet a child who is so pleasing to my eye. Take good care of him and coax this little guy well. He will be of great use in the future."

"What great use could such a child be?" Yao Qing couldn't help but mutter.

Li Yancheng said, "What use is Huo Nanxiao's son? Do I need to remind you? Just making Huo Nanxiao half-dead with anger is already quite an achievement. Could you do that?"

"I'm not Huo Nanxiao's son, so I'm sure I can't make him angry to death," Yao Qing muttered to herself.

Li Yancheng had a headache. "Alright, go ahead and get busy."

After leaving those words behind, Li Yancheng returned to his room.

It was late at night, and Li Yancheng was a little sleepy. He took a hot shower and went to bed, completely unaware of the commotion in the next room.

Xingxing, afraid of being discovered that he wasn't sleeping, deliberately turned off the lights and played on the computer. He discovered that Li Yancheng's house had two networks: one was an internal network that could only receive internal files and send messages internally, but could not contact outsiders and required a key.

The other network is the most normal network in an ordinary household, which allows you to browse the internet, watch TV shows, and send video messages to friends.

"Two networks, then the stuff on the intranet must be classified." Xingxing muttered to herself. She wanted to connect to the internet, but without the password, she couldn't; she could only use the regular telecommunications network.

"Hmph, you're still wary of me, forbidding me from connecting to the intranet. Are you afraid I'll find out your secrets? A few passwords are nothing, you underestimate me."

Xingxing's little fingers flew across the keyboard, making a very soft sound that was inaudible to anyone outside. Plus, everyone was asleep at that hour, so no one noticed anyone was hacking into the internal system…

He quickly hacked into the internal system, and the first thing he checked was the data on Li Yancheng's computer, hoping to find some useful information, preferably surveillance footage from a few years ago, which might prove that Mommy hadn't harmed Xia Wanwan back then.

But Xingxing searched around and found nothing. Li Yancheng's computer was full of company files, a bunch of messy stuff, which Xingxing wasn't interested in at all.

After searching for a while without finding what she wanted, Xingxing was about to give up when she suddenly saw a video.

The video's cover image is Xia Wanwan!

"Xia Wanwan?"

"I have to click and take a look!"

Xingxing clicked on the video without hesitation to watch it.

In the video, Xia Wanwan is seen falling down, slumped on the ground, looking terrified.

Xia Wanwan: [No, you can't kill me, Yan Cheng, your sister's death has nothing to do with me.]

"Only one of you, Xia Ningxi, can survive." Li Yancheng's cold voice answered Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan: [I...I didn't hurt anyone in the Li family. It was Xia Ningxi who hurt you; she was the one who fired the shot. She did it all, it has nothing to do with me! If you want to kill someone, kill her!]

Li Yancheng: [Then let her die in your place.]

Then let her die in your place...

At the very end of the video, only this one sentence remained.

The only person appearing in the video from beginning to end is Xia Wanwan, but Xingxing can tell that the other man talking to Xia Wanwan must be Li Yancheng, because their voices are exactly the same.

I glanced at the date; it was June 11th, six years ago.

"Xia Wanwan had her accident on June 22nd. What's the connection between that and this video?"

"It's really strange, but Xia Wanwan is so despicable. She's obviously trying to shift all the blame onto Mommy and make Mommy die. How can she have the nerve to do that?"

"That shameless woman is still acting like Mommy owes her a lot."

Xingxing felt very uncomfortable after seeing the video. Even as a child, he could see that Li Yancheng wanted Xia Wanwan to die, but because Xia Wanwan was too scared, Li Yancheng could only let Xia Ningxi die.

It's obvious that the only person Li Yancheng wants to get rid of is Xia Wanwan; otherwise, how could he have said, "Let Xia Ningxi die in your place"?

The video cannot be saved elsewhere; the stars can only be sent to my own email address.

The Li family's system was maintained by professional R&D personnel. Xingxing was detected as soon as he sent the first video. He could only quickly delete all traces and wait for two hours before continuing to operate the system to invade Li Yancheng's computer.

Early that morning, Xia Wanwan also received a multimedia message from an unknown number.

At first, Xia Wanwan didn't pay much attention. She waited for Huo Nanxiao's call almost all night. She hoped that Huo Nanxiao could come to see her after he finished dealing with Xia Ningxi's matter. She held her phone and waited for several hours. In the end, she didn't receive a call or a person's call. Instead, she received a multimedia message with her video on it.

Only one of you and Xia Ningxi can live.

If you're going to kill someone, kill Xia Ningxi...

Then let her die in your place.

Then let her die in your place.

"ah!"

Xia Wanwan screamed in fright after seeing the video!

She threw her phone away in fear, staring in horror at herself in the video, her whole body trembling.

The screams woke up everyone else in the villa, and Zhou Fenglin and the nanny ran to knock on the door.

"Wanwan, what happened to you? Open the door!" Zhou Fenglin called anxiously from outside the door.

Xia Wanwan looked at the door in horror, then at her phone on the floor with its screen cracked and the video playing on a loop. She was so frightened that she quickly scrambled off the bed, but fell hard. Ignoring the pain, she crawled towards her phone in the distance.

"Wanwan? Can you hear me?" Zhou Fenglin continued to call out, but received no response. She quickly instructed the nanny, "Go and find the key right away."

"Yes, madam." The nanny immediately ran to find the keys.

As the door was about to be opened, Xia Wanwan frantically tapped on her phone screen, trying to turn off the video, but the more panicked she became, the more confused she became, and in desperation, she simply turned off the phone.

When Zhou Fenglin pushed open the door, he saw Xia Wanwan sprawled on the floor, looking like a madwoman with a terrified expression. Zhou Fenglin was stunned and said, "Wanwan, what's wrong? Who scared you? Tell me! What happened!"
