Chapter 164 He laid his cards on the table, she laid hers on the table, and I laid mine on the table too.



Although Lin Yi had expected it, he was still very conflicted when he was told that it was Lin Yunfei.

Why would his sister, who has lived with him for so many years and has always been kind and gentle in front of him, do these things behind his back?

What grudge did she hold against Jian Zhizhen that made her want to kill him?

Lin Yunfei's friends in Country K have already sent him all of Lin Yunfei's bank transaction records from the past few days.

Lin Yi read through them one by one.

If he hadn't known beforehand that she was hostile towards Jian Zhizhen, these records might not have aroused his suspicion.

But now that he knew, when he checked the dates of those expenses again, he quickly realized something was wrong.

Every time she makes a large expenditure, it's the day that Jian Zhizhen goes viral.

Lin Yi held the flowing water and looked at it for a long time... feeling that he couldn't wait to go back.

His original intention in investigating these matters was to help Lin Yunfei repent and stop hurting others.

The sooner we confront her, the sooner she'll realize the truth.

So he sent Lin Yunfei a message: "Little sister, are you asleep?"

Lin Yunfei replied instantly: Not yet.

Lin Yi: "Would it be convenient for you to come to my room for a moment? I have something important I want to talk to you about."

His room had no surveillance cameras, making it the perfect place to confront her.

Lin Yunfei replied, "Okay."

Perfect timing, she also had something she wanted to talk to Lin Yi about.

...

Less than half a minute later, there was a knock on Lin Yi's door.

Lin Yi got up to open the door for her and led her into the living room of the suite.

Lin Yunfei sat down on the sofa.

Although she was also planning to confront him, she hesitated when she saw Lin Yi's cold attitude upon entering.

She had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing about it, and with a smile, she asked obediently, "Brother, what brings you here so late?"

Lin Yi remained expressionless, but his gaze held a deep sense of inquiry and scrutiny.

He slowly began, “Two months ago, Jian Zhizhen’s equipment was infected by a virus. She was unable to contact her teachers and classmates, so she was tricked into going to the chemistry lab and encountered a Cl2 leak. Fortunately, she remembered some chemical metal properties and managed to unlock the door and save herself.”

Lin Yunfei's expression changed slightly, and she felt flustered: "Brother, you called me over so late at night just to tell me about Jian Zhizhen's glorious deeds?"

Lin Yi didn't reply to her, but stated with certainty, "You bribed that hacker to send a virus to Jian Zhizhen."

Lin Yunfei could only instinctively deny it: "I didn't!"

Lin Yi directly projected her bank records onto the screen: "I've already found out that you transferred money to that hacker. And every time there's a trending topic about Jian Zhizhen online, you get an extra record here."

Lin Yunfei stared at the string of numbers, feeling extremely panicked.

When exactly did Lin Yi begin to distrust her?

Why did you investigate her privately?

She moved her lips, wanting to explain, but couldn't utter a single word.

Lin Yi's gaze gradually turned cold.

"You like Jian Zhizhen that much? You spend money to buy her trending topics every day?"

His tone was calm, yet clearly laced with sarcasm.

"Also, was the Cl2 leak something you orchestrated?"

Lin Yunfei's heart skipped a beat.

This matter has already touched upon the fundamental issue of murder.

If she really admits it, Lin Yi will definitely send her to jail himself!

However, faced with this series of solid evidence, she cannot completely deny it.

She needs to quickly find a way to reduce the severity of her crime.

Yes, there is evidence that she hired a hacker to send a virus to Jian Zhizhen, and she can't deny it.

But the Cl2 leak was purely accidental; she only knew about it in advance through the database, so she can remove that part.

Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with an excuse: "No! I, I'm not that malicious... Actually, it was Zhai Qinghe who asked me for help because she needed to compete with Jian Zhizhen and needed Jian Zhizhen to fail the exam. I just wanted to help her lock Jian Zhizhen up so that Jian Zhizhen would miss the chemistry exam, that's all. I, I didn't know that Cl2 would leak..."

As Lin Yunfei spoke, her eyes unconsciously reddened.

There was pretense, but also genuine anxiety and sadness.

She wiped away her tears, lowered her head pitifully, and sobbed, "Brother, I was confused at first and was used by Zhai Qinghe. Later, I saw how much you loved her, and I was afraid that she would take you away from me..."

Lin Yi looked at her silently for a while, then said helplessly, "I don't quite understand why you think that way. No matter what, aren't I still your brother? Even if I have some inexplicable feelings for Jian Zhizhen, it doesn't change the blood relationship between us. How could he be taken away?"

Lin Yunfei choked.

He was so nervous just now that he almost forgot that he didn't know they weren't biological siblings.

I had originally planned to confront him right now.

But if he finds out that she is not his biological sister at all, then... will he not even give her the last bit of mercy?

No, I can't be so impulsive as to speak out directly.

I need to discuss it with my dad first.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yunfei made up her mind, looked up at Lin Yi, and earnestly pleaded, "Brother, please give me some time. After we finish recording the show, we can go back to see Dad and let him tell you everything, okay?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

It was clear from Lin Yunfei's words that something important was going on.

But what could possibly happen?

In his memory, hadn't the three of them always lived a good life?

But thinking about it again, Lin Yunfei is right.

His biggest hope for this episode is that it will be recorded completely and not cut short like the previous two episodes.
