He had already admitted his mistake, apologized, and even almost knelt down to beg for forgiveness, so why were they still unwilling to let him go and unwilling to help him?
These people are so petty!
As he pondered, a strong sense of hostility and resentment suddenly rose in Chen Zhiyi's eyes.
He stared intently at Meng Yuxin's retreating figure.
This woman gave him hope, and then cruelly shattered it!
Since he has no way out, why should a heartless person like her be allowed to live?
If we're going to die, let's all die together!
After Meng Yuxin and the others left Chen Zhiyi's house, she planned to pack up the supplies they had just taken from Chen Zhiyi's house and give them to other people in need.
So she got to work.
She moved quickly and soon finished packing her things before heading towards a house.
After delivering the items to that family, they thanked her repeatedly and invited her to stay for a meal.
Meng Yuxin naturally refused.
The house wasn't actually that far from their tent, but because the villagers were all eating at home and the volunteers were all eating together, plus there were no streetlights in the village.
So although the path from that house to the tent wasn't far, there were hardly any people around, and the light was dim.
Even if Meng Yuxin had a flashlight, it could only illuminate the path beneath her feet.
Just as she turned a corner and saw the tent, a figure suddenly emerged from around the corner.
At the same time, a familiar roar rang out.
"If you're not leaving me a way out, then you can die too!"
As she spoke, a shadow gleaming with cold light appeared in front of Meng Yuxin.
Meng Yuxin's pupils suddenly contracted as she saw Chen Zhiyi's figure appear less than two or three meters away from her.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyi is still holding a kitchen knife in his hand!
This is putting him to death!
Realizing this, Meng Yuxin quickly stepped back, trying to avoid Chen Zhiyi and the knife in his hand.
But before she could get away, things took an unexpected turn.
Perhaps Chen Zhiyi was only focused on "making Meng Yuxin pay for his death" and didn't pay any attention to the situation under his feet.
He brandished his knife menacingly, about to charge at Meng Yuxin again, when he was suddenly tripped by a stone.
With a thud, Chen Zhiyi fell to the ground.
But that wasn't the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that, because of the way he fell, the blade of the knife in his hand was aimed directly at his neck...
Meng Yuxin was completely stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene before her.
Besides her, there were other volunteers who had just heard Chen Zhiyi's shouts and ran over, plus the family behind them.
Therefore, many people witnessed Chen Zhiyi holding a kitchen knife and trying to kill Meng Yuxin, but due to an accident, the knife ended up being pointed at himself.
For a moment, everyone's feelings were extremely complicated.
I felt that Chen Zhiyi's death was too dramatic, but I also felt that he deserved it.
If he hadn't harbored malicious intentions and wanted to harm Meng Yuxin, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
The saying "What harms others will ultimately harm oneself" perfectly describes Chen Zhiyi's actions at this moment.
At this moment, Meng Yuxin was actually more shocked than afraid.
The main reason was that although Chen Zhiyi wasn't far away from her, she was confident she could avoid him.
After all, Chen Zhiyi has a leg injury, and Meng Yuxin, being a member of the Meng family, must have some means of self-defense and know some martial arts skills since she dared to follow the volunteer team all over the country.
Therefore, avoiding Chen Zhiyi's attack should not be a problem.
She just didn't expect that, before she even had to try to avoid it, Chen Zhiyi would fall victim to it himself...
As Meng Yuxin watched Chen Zhiyi gradually lose consciousness and become unable to move, the words Lin Xi had said when she left the room suddenly came to mind.
Those who show no remorse deserve their punishment.
At the time, she thought Lin Xi was talking about Chen Zhiyi's marriage fraud, but she didn't expect that the master might be talking about how Chen Zhiyi wanted to harm her but ended up reaping the consequences!
Chen Zhiyi was indeed unlucky; that one blow severed his life, and there was no way to save him.
Since he had no descendants or other relatives, the villagers had to work together to arrange his funeral.
His funeral was very simple; they simply dug a hole and buried him, and Chen Zhiyi disappeared from everyone's sight completely.
Meng Yuxin and the others also went down the mountain after Chen Zhiyi's death.
When they came down the mountain, Lin Xi had wandered off somewhere and returned.
Meng Yuxin walked down the mountain with her. On the way, she thought for a moment and asked Lin Xi if she had foreseen that Chen Zhiyi would end up like that.
Lin Xi did not deny it.
She had indeed foreseen that Chen Zhiyi would do such a thing before she even left his house.
However, she then looked at Meng Yuxin's face and found that, judging from her appearance, she would not have any problems.
That's why she didn't expose Chen Zhiyi's behavior beforehand.
After all, if she had spoken up beforehand, she might have saved Chen Zhiyi from disaster.
As she predicted, things turned out that Chen Zhiyi reaped what he sowed.
But did Chen Zhiyi think that everything would be resolved once he died?
Of course not.
After he dies, he goes to the underworld and will continue to be punished for the mistakes he made in his lifetime.
His attempt to kill Meng Yuxin before his death only compounded his crime.
So even if he died, his life wouldn't be easy.
Seeing that Lin Xi did not refute, Meng Yuxin was even more shocked and gained a deeper understanding of Lin Xi's abilities.
After descending the mountain, Meng Yuxin originally planned to take Lin Xi back to the city as well.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi said she wanted to go for a walk around the neighborhood and that she didn't need to worry about her.
Seeing Lin Xi say this, Meng Yuxin did not insist and could only return with the main group first.
However, before leaving, he told Lin Xi that she could contact him anytime she needed a car.
Lin Xi waved his hand, and his figure gradually disappeared from Meng Yuxin's sight.
After Meng Yuxin returned to the city, she told her family about it.
The family was immediately thrilled upon hearing this.
They had previously heard the Qian family talk about how amazing Master Lin was and how good their relationship with him was.
They were incredibly envious.
However, due to the lack of opportunity to contact Master Lin, he could only watch from the sidelines.
I never thought I'd finally have the chance!
Of course, they wanted to make the most of this hard-won opportunity to get to know Master Lin, hoping to make more of an impression on him and have more contact with him in the future.
