As Shen Zhiyi left the school, she ran into Li Heng.

"Baby!"

He rushed over and hugged her tightly.

Shen Zhiyi smiled and brushed his hair aside, "It's only been a short while, why are you so clingy?"

Li Heng nuzzled her hair. "Just for a little while?"

"It's been three hours and twenty-seven minutes, which is a very long time."

Shen Zhiyi chuckled.

Suddenly, Li Heng's cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello, are you Li Heng? This is the Criminal Investigation Division..."

Li Heng held his phone, his gaze vacant, his arm slowly slipping down to his side.

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhiyi asked worriedly.

Li Heng turned his head blankly and looked at her, saying, "Li Changgui is dead."

...

When they arrived at the scene, they found Qi Chengyin being held by the police.

Her hands were stained with blood, her lips were pale, and she was trembling.

He kept muttering, "I'm not a murderer... I'm not a murderer..."

When she saw Shen Zhiyi and Li Heng, her body suddenly stiffened.

Everything that had just happened suddenly flooded back into my mind.

She found Li Changgui and told him how much Li Heng had achieved and how much money he had made.

They accused him of living a good life on his own while bringing his own father to such a miserable state, calling him an ungrateful wretch!

Her original intention was to have Li Changgui cause trouble for Li Heng.

Ideally, we should let him reveal his true nature and become a murderer just like in his previous life.

In this way, neither Shen Zhiyi nor he will have an easy time.

But Li Changgui chickened out!

For some reason, he didn't dare to cause trouble for Shen Zhiyi, but he looked at her with a strange smile.

She heard him say:

“My son is really something. Not only did he snag a rich second-generation girlfriend, but he also has another one who rushed over to our house.”

"If I had been as good at seducing women as he was when I was young, I wouldn't be in this mess today!"

He lunged at her viciously.

"Now that you're here, you're not leaving!"

"I can't beat Shen Zhiyi, but how could I not handle someone as delicate as you?"

He caught Qi Chengyin red-handed.

"Since you know my son and know so much about him, your relationship with him must be extraordinary!"

"Call him right now! Make him send me the money!"

Qi Chengyin was terrified.

She dialed Li Heng's number from memory, but to her surprise, it was a disconnected number!

He even changed his phone number.

Li Changgui refused to believe her, thinking she was deliberately pretending not to be able to find Li Heng, and threatened her with a dagger and a ferocious expression.

"If you don't get the money today, I'll kill you!"

"I'm not going to live anyway!"

Those creditors set a final deadline for him; if he didn't get the money by then, he would either be beaten to death or go to jail!

He has already broken one leg.

Now they're no different from outlaws.

Qi Chengyin screamed in despair, "I'll hit him! I'll find someone else, I'll definitely get you the money!"

She dialed Dou Tianzong's number.

But when he heard that he had been kidnapped and was being asked to pay a ransom, he immediately tried to hang up the phone!

"Dou Tianzong! If you don't take care of me, I'll tell everyone about your impotence!" Qi Chengyin threatened through tears in a panic, "And I'll expose all those things you did, like bribing people and falsifying academic credits!"

"If you don't save me, we'll all go to hell together!"

Dou Tianzong then saw her true colors.

"I never expected you to be this kind of person." His anger flared, and he even shouted at Li Changgui, "I have no money! If you want to kill the hostage, then kill the hostage now!"

Qi Chengyin felt her blood run cold.

Tears streamed down her face as she frantically pleaded with him, "Dou Tianzong...please! You're so rich, give me some money to save me. I won't bring up those things about you anymore. Even if you're still impotent in your next life, I'll still be your girlfriend..."

"I really don't want to die, please save me..."

Dou Tianzong hung up the phone immediately.

"Pah!" Li Changgui shouted angrily when he saw that she couldn't get the money. "You're even more useless than me!"

"Keep calling! Call your parents!"

Qi Chengyin was terrified.

Her parents weren't good to her, and they simply couldn't afford that much money!

Seeing Li Changgui limping, she was terrified, and with a burst of strength she didn't know she had, she shoved him aside!

She grabbed the dagger from the table and rushed towards the door!

Li Changgui chased after her like a madman.

During the struggle, she accidentally stabbed him to death...

Qi Chengyin shuddered as she recalled the moment the blade pierced her body, her scalp tingling and a chill running down her spine.

Scenes from my past life resurfaced in my mind.

She thought back to the day Li Heng committed murder; it seemed to be to prevent Li Changgui from harming her...

The knife was originally meant to be used to stab her, but Li Heng turned it around...

No...no!

Qi Chengyin screamed in despair.

"No... I did it to protect myself..."

"I didn't kill him intentionally..."

When she saw Shen Zhiyi and Li Heng standing there, completely innocent and clean, a deep sense of resentment welled up in her heart.

On what grounds?

Why do they live so well while I've been ruined by them?

And there's Li Heng.

Why was he willing to save me in my past life, but in this life, he won't even glance at me?!

She lunged at them like a madwoman.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

I'll kill you all!

"Don't move!" A police officer nearby held her tightly. "You're still not behaving yourself after we just caught you? Take you back to the station!"
