"Because the appearance is unknown, no family members have come forward to claim the body."
She was likely knocked unconscious from behind and had her neck severed with a sharp object.
According to the identification, the woman was no more than 30 years old, wearing a velvet long dress, slippers, and her nails were painted with a three-color star pattern..."
Yi Youyou stopped walking, and her phone fell to the ground with a "thud" from her palm.
She stared blankly at the news on TV, a chill running up her spine.
In the news report, the headless female corpse was blurred out, making it difficult for bystanders to recognize her.
But the design on the nail polish was clearly the one Yi Lianxue had painted on her nails before they parted ways.
An unprecedented fear surged into Yi Youyou's heart, her face turned ashen, and she collapsed to the ground in fright.
"No, that's impossible..."
The landlord's concerned voice rang in her ears, but Yi Tianran couldn't hear a word he said.
Although she hated Yi Lianxue for turning her back on her and even cursed her behind her back, she never thought that Yi Lianxue would really die, especially not in such a cruel way.
News reports said the body had been dead for at least five days and had begun to decompose, and the missing head had not yet been found.
That morning, Yi Lianxue had proudly boasted to her about her intimacy with Chu Lin.
He died in the blink of an eye.
Unconsciously, she recalled the way Chu Lin looked down at her outside the restroom that day, as if he were looking at an ant that he could crush at any moment.
Could it be him?
But why...didn't they just sleep together? How could they be so cruel?
At that moment, she didn't know whether she felt fortunate or terrified; her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
That night, Yi Youyou had a terrifying nightmare. In the dream, Yi Lianxue crossed her arms and proudly showed off her happiness.
Just then, a dark figure approached from behind.
The Grim Reaper with a skull dragged his scythe step by step, and under her terrified gaze, he placed the scythe against Yi Lianxue's neck. With a "whoosh," her head rolled to the ground.
It landed right at her feet.
Yi Lianxue's smug smile hadn't even faded yet, remaining in a strange and stiff arc.
Her eyes were vacant, and two streams of bloody tears flowed from them.
"Ahhh!!!" Yi Youyou woke up instantly from her nightmare, clutching her head and letting out a terrified scream.
She was terrified.
I'm afraid I'll be next.
Originally, she hesitated to return to the Yi family, but now... she would rather be locked up and placed under house arrest than be haunted by this terrifying nightmare again.
The next day, just as dawn broke.
Yi Youyou left the dilapidated house and hurried back to the Yi family home.
I saw several elders gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
Upon seeing her return, Yi Hai merely frowned and snorted coldly, "I thought you were really capable and never planned to come back in this lifetime."
If it were the old Yi Youyou, she would have already started a fight with Yi Hai.
However, at this moment, she only moved her lips and murmured, "Dad."
“Youyou, stop fooling around. We’re keeping you locked up at home for your own good. You know how bad your reputation is outside…”
After all, she was a piece of her own flesh and blood. Seeing Yi Youyou's haggard appearance, Liu Ruyi couldn't help but keep talking about her with concern.
The next second, Yi Youyou's eyes turned red, and she actually rushed towards her, bursting into tears as she returned, "Mom, I was wrong, I'll never do it again."
Liu Ruyi was clearly taken aback, not understanding what had triggered her.
Soon, she heard Yi Youyou choke out, "Lianxue, she...she..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yi Laosi ruthlessly interrupted her, "Since she dared to run away from the countryside, whether she lives or dies is none of our Yi family's business."
Yi Youyou's crying stopped immediately.
She stared wide-eyed, wiped away her tears, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart: "Don't you care at all about her disappearance?"
Yi Laosan remained as nonchalant as ever: "The eldest brother said that Yi Lianxue is not his biological daughter. Since that's the case, we naturally don't care whether she disappears or not."
"No—" Yi Youyou blurted out, her voice trembling with emotion, "She didn't just disappear, she was murdered."
In an instant, the entire place fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"What nonsense are you making up now? Don't you think you've caused enough trouble already?" Yi Hai scolded him angrily.
"No, I'm not lying to you..." Yi Youyou's breathing was rapid, her face flushed red, like an ant on a hot pan. "It's true, I saw the news report, a headless female corpse, it must be Lianxue."
Seeing that they still refused to believe her, Yi Youyou decided to throw caution to the wind and confessed everything about how she and Yi Lianxue had plotted to seduce Chu Lin.
After he finished speaking, the expressions of the Yi family members suddenly became subtle.
Silence spread through the air.
A long time passed, or perhaps only a moment.
Yi Hai said slowly, "You must have seen it wrong."
Yi Youyou's eyes widened involuntarily, her expression blank and helpless: "What?"
"I see you've been under too much mental stress lately, and it's finally gotten to the point where your brain is acting up." Yi Hai announced cruelly with a stern face, "Men, take Miss Yi to the Third Hospital under the Yi Group for treatment. Keep a close watch on her and don't let her out until she's better."
Yi Youyou's pupils shrank, and she took a half step back in horror. "No... Dad, I'm your daughter, you can't do this to me."
The Third Hospital is a place for mental patients. How could he treat himself as mentally ill? Is that a place fit for a human being?
Yi Hai, however, looked impatient. "Bodyguards, come in here right now!"
"Mom, Mom, please beg Dad for me! Please save me, you can't treat me like this!" Yi Youyou pleaded, clutching Liu Ruyi's sleeve tightly as if grasping at this last straw.
Liu Ruyi felt a pang of pity and subconsciously glanced at her husband, only to be met with a cold, horrified look.
She shuddered in fright, remembering the day she was tortured. She still felt the pain in her body and never wanted to experience it again.
Thinking of this, she hardened her heart and persuaded her daughter, "Youyou, go and get better. I'll come pick you up when you recover, okay?"
Ultimately, a selfish person like her cares most about her own life.
When her daughter's interests conflict with her own, she will not hesitate to abandon the other party to save herself.
At that moment, Yi Youyou's heart sank to the bottom of despair.
He turned and fled.
