Yi Youyou's breath hitched as she listened to him continue casually, "Back then, you seemed to be a waiter, and you even fell into my arms. Have you forgotten so quickly?"
In an instant, Yi Youyou's head exploded with a loud bang, as if she had lost the instinct to think.
Her lips moved, but no sound came out.
"By the way!" Chu Lin leaned closer and pressed, "There was another girl who left with me that day. Did you know her?"
Yi Youyou denied it almost without thinking: "I don't know him."
"Oh, you're denying it so quickly!" Chu Lin snorted coldly, reaching out to lift her chin. "But tell me, I just asked a casual question, why did you turn pale with fright? If someone didn't know the truth, they'd think I was bullying you!"
Yi Youyou's cheeks twitched, and at this moment she was in despair. "You didn't bully me. I was ungrateful. I knew I was wrong for drugging you. I will never seduce you again. Please, Mr. Chu, let me go!"
"Seeing how sincerely you apologized, you really know you were wrong!"
Chu Lin's words seemed to give Yi Youyou a glimmer of hope.
But the next sentence plunged her into despair: "Unfortunately, some mistakes cannot be forgiven with an apology. You crossed my line."
"No..." The sudden change in her emotions was too great, and Yi Youyou's legs went weak. She knelt on the ground with a thud. "President Chu, I swear, I will never provoke you again. I will pretend that I have never met you outside, and I will never say a word out of turn. Please believe me this once. I will definitely change my ways. Starting tomorrow—no, tonight—I will go abroad and never come back. Please let me go."
"Hmm..." Chu Lin rested his chin on one hand, seemingly seriously considering her suggestion, while secretly reaching behind his back with the other hand and pulling out a dagger from his sleeve.
“Your suggestion is quite good, but…” he said, his tone suddenly turning sinister and ruthless, “Only the dead don’t speak.”
The moment she finished speaking, a sharp dagger swung down from above her head.
In a life-or-death moment, Yi Youyou, relying on her instinct to avoid risks honed over many years, used her bag to shield herself from the fatal blow.
Chu Lin was clearly taken aback, not expecting her to react so quickly.
A flash of intense anger crossed his eyes, and the next second he forcefully drew his dagger.
Taking advantage of this hard-won opportunity, Yi Youyou quickly got up from the ground and dashed out like a rabbit.
In this life-or-death situation, she used the fastest escape speed she had ever experienced.
"Damn it!" Chu Lin hadn't expected to make such a mistake, which made him extremely unhappy. He had finally found a scapegoat and eliminated all the potential threats.
Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, seemingly there just to cause him trouble.
"What are you all standing there for? Go after them!" he roared at the guards in the dark alley.
"Yes." A chorus of voices rang out, and the footsteps quickly disappeared.
Chu Lin, however, was unwilling to stay put and wait for the outcome.
He must eliminate this hidden danger himself, otherwise there will be no end to the trouble.
Thinking of this, he put away his dagger again and strode after her.
...
Yi Youyou ran wildly until her heart ached and she was out of breath, but she didn't dare to stop for even a moment.
In the quiet night, she heard several footsteps approaching behind her.
If she had been even a second slower, death would have been her only fate.
She had never felt so humiliated in her life, and her heart was filled with intense regret. Yet, she dared not even cry, for fear of delaying her escape.
In her final moments, she seemed to see a revolving lantern, recalling everything from her childhood to adulthood.
In order to maintain her dignity, identity, and status, she spared no effort, selling her body, plagiarizing works, and eliminating dissidents. She lost all values and morals, and her character was long gone.
If anyone else were to suffer misfortune, they would never be as miserable as she was, without even a half-friend to help her.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Recalling the past, she was secretly pleased with herself. Yi Tianran was unlucky and had a bad life. She actually died in a car accident. She deserved it.
Thinking about her current miserable situation...
For a fleeting moment, she wondered if this was her retribution!
Because of the many evil deeds he had committed in the past, he was destined to be murdered at the most beautiful age of his life.
"Stop running." Just then, a chilling, ghostly voice rang out from behind, "You can't escape."
"No..." Yi Youyou's nose stung with tears, feeling both desperate and in pain.
God, please save me!
I already know I was wrong.
If you spare me, I will truly do good deeds and start anew from now on.
She should pay the price for her past mistakes, even if it means going to jail, rather than dying a miserable death.
However, just as she turned the last alleyway, she was met with a thick wall.
Yi Youyou's gaze suddenly became unfocused; never before had she felt more desperate than she did now.
Chu Lin had caught up with her from behind, and a mocking voice seemed to come from behind, "I told you long ago, there's no point in running away. You even ran into a dead end. Are you trying to make me laugh?"
At this moment, Chu Lin fully enjoyed the thrill of toying with a human life.
Watching her escape from death, run away, and finally fall into a deadly trap was truly spectacular.
Yi Youyou collapsed to the ground in despair, her heart filled with despair, her eyes empty and lifeless.
She knew her death was imminent.
When Yi Lianxue died, was she as desperate as I was?
She must have been very pleased with herself at the time, thinking that she had finally found a good sugar daddy who could help her get rid of the Yi family's big cage.
Little did she know that after the ultimate pleasure, her death was yet to come.
Her mind drifted back to Yi Tianran, the first to wither away, but now she suddenly felt that Yi Tianran was also the luckiest one.
Seeing her silently shed tears of despair, Chu Lin felt no sympathy; instead, he was provoked into a frenzy.
He approached Yi Youyou step by step, until he stood in front of her, looking down at her face.
"Don't worry, I'll send you down soon so you can reunite with Yi Lianxue."
As soon as he finished speaking, just as he was about to draw his dagger and stab him...
A voice rang out seemingly casually: "What are you doing?"
Chu Lin paused in his actions, subconsciously turning around, and seemed to see the shadow of a woman standing outside.
He frowned, a strong sense of displeasure rising in his heart.
