When Ji Linting heard Qiao Zhixian tell him where I buried my body, he threw the cloth bag in his hand like a madman and stumbled out of the house.
The discarded cloth bag fell to the ground, and the glass bottle containing the ashes rolled out.
I knelt in front of the glass bottle and wanted to pick it up, but found in despair that I was still as helpless as when I couldn't save him at the beginning, and I couldn't even touch it.
Qiao Zhixian's nervous and trembling voice came from behind. She was calling Qiao's parents at the moment, her voice full of fear, "Mom and Dad, Chuyuan faked her death again to frame me and alienate our relationship. He will definitely not let me go!"
"What should I do now?"
Obviously, she didn't expect that the killer she hired was so unreliable. He didn't even know that the sewer was blocked, which led to the police discovering my death so quickly and also finding it on them.
Now she can only continue to lie, hoping that her parents can help her cover up the lie.
I sneered repeatedly, staring at Qiao Zhixian who was in a panic at the moment, and couldn't help but admire her psychological quality. Even when the truth was revealed, she could still think of a way to deal with it.
But the next second, I couldn't laugh anymore.
My mother's worried tone immediately came through the receiver, as if she couldn't wait to run to her eldest daughter and comfort her.
"Baby, why are you so stupid and kind? Why are you still hiding things for your sister? Hurry up and tell him that your sister won't die anyway and will be resurrected sooner or later. Didn't you dig out her heart in the first place? She's still holding a grudge..."
My mother's voice was still so gentle, but the words between the lines were full of bad words towards me.
If I were the Qiao Chuyuan who longed for parental love in the past, I would probably have burst into tears a long time ago.
My family believed Qiao Zhixian so wholeheartedly, and believed what she said that I had repeatedly faked my own death to frame her for her favor.
In the end, I even believed her nonsense that I could be resurrected infinitely, and dug out my heart and gave it to Qiao Zhixian, who had suffered from heart disease since childhood.
Later, I was resurrected in front of them, which further confirmed their belief that I could be resurrected infinitely.
Not long after, Qiao Zhixian hung up the phone. I saw that Qiao Zhixian, who had just looked nervous, suddenly changed her expression, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up. Suddenly, a chill went from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
She had been prepared for this a long time ago.
Even if Ji Linting found out that I was dead, she could still deceive Ji Linting with the lie that I could be resurrected infinitely and get his forgiveness, just like she had deceived my parents for more than ten years to gain their favor.
Watching her calmly change her shoes and go out, my soul was also drawn by an invisible force and followed her out.

Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder outside the house again, and heavy rain began to pour down.
The rain curtain connects the sky and the earth, and as light and shadow rotate, it seems as if all things in the world are hovering on the edge of the chasm between life and death, struggling painfully.
Under a locust tree halfway up Lingyuan Mountain, Ji Linting knelt on the ground, completely soaked, digging up the slippery and sticky soil with his bare hands.
Blood seeped from his slender white fingertips and mixed with rainwater, leaving shocking bloodstains on the soil.
But he seemed not to feel any pain at all, and his eyes were bloodshot as he dug the soil faster and faster.
Finally, a white trunk emerged from the mud, standing out particularly under the influence of the rain.
The moment his fingertips touched my skin, they trembled as if they were electrocuted.
But soon, he sped up his movements and dug up the soil around me.
He dug faster and faster, as he just wanted to dig out my body and check if there was a crescent birthmark around my waist.
It was not until my entire body was lying flat and exposed to the rain that he reached out his trembling hands to my waist.
“Ah…ah…”
In an instant, his mournful wails echoed in the valley, one louder than the other.
Only then did he realize that it was Qiao Zhixian's plan that made him kill with his own hands the woman who loved him so much that she was willing to die for him!
He will never let Qiao Zhixian go!
