I have been living in the countryside of Yunnan for three or four months.
This quiet little wooden cabin is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, as peaceful and serene as a paradise.
When the annual New Year's bells ring,
The entire village was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers rose and fell, echoing through the sky, as if trying to shatter all the troubles and worries of the past year.
The dazzling fireworks burst in the sky.
It added a touch of liveliness to this quiet village.
Just then, a soft knock came at the door.
I opened the door with great joy, only to see Lin Zhibai standing there, carrying a pile of carefully prepared gifts.
His face was beaming with a warm smile, like the winter sun, making people feel incredibly comfortable.
"Zhibai, you're here! Come in quickly!" I greeted him with a beaming smile, my eyes filled with joy.
"Are you getting used to living here?" Lin Zhibai asked with concern.
Their gaze fell on me, scrutinizing me from head to toe.
I smiled and nodded, replying, "It's pretty good! The air is fresh, the environment is beautiful, and it's very pleasant. Plus, the villagers are all very friendly!"
As they spoke, Lin Zhibai gently placed the gift in his hand on the table.
"Come, try this tea! These are fresh tea leaves that I personally picked from the tea garden a few days ago and have carefully processed."
I picked up the teapot and poured him a steaming cup of tea.
The clear tea soup had a light green hue and emitted a refreshing fragrance.
Lin Zhibai took the teacup, slowly sat down, took a sip of tea, and savored its flavor.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Mmm, the flavor is so rich and sweet!"
Hearing his praise made me feel very happy.
He laughed and said, "Haha, you flatter me!"
"I specially made dumplings and some of my signature dishes today, just waiting for you to come and enjoy them together!"
As I spoke, I turned and went into the kitchen, bringing out the food that had already been prepared.
In no time, the table was laden with a sumptuous feast. There were fragrant chive and pork dumplings, delicious braised pork belly, and refreshing cucumber salad…
Every dish is cooked with my heart.
Lin Zhibai looked at the table full of delicious food, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. He said with emotion, "Seeing you living such a fulfilling and happy life, I'm truly proud of you!"
I looked sincerely at Lin Zhibai. "If you hadn't stopped me in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable! I might have really chosen to give up my life and end this painful existence."
"Thank you, Zhibai!"
"Don't stand on ceremony with me!"
After we finished speaking, we smiled at each other and sat down together to enjoy this cozy dinner.
...
Let's turn back time to that heartbreaking moment a year ago.
When my hands trembled as I closed the video...
My heart was instantly overwhelmed by endless pain, and I could hardly calm down.
With a heart full of despair and resolve,
I gripped my phone tightly, with only one thought in my mind—to end all this suffering.
However, before deciding to take the path of no return,
I thought of my brother.
So, with the last glimmer of hope,
I dialed Lin Zhibai's number, my voice hoarse and trembling as I told him that I wanted to leave alone and asked him to help look after my brother.
Lin Zhibai, on the other end of the phone, keenly sensed the frivolous intentions hidden behind my words. Without hesitation, he put down his work and rushed to the Qin family.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble,
He chose to enter quietly through the back door.
Upon seeing me with tears streaming down my face and looking haggard, his heart clenched. He rushed forward, embraced me, and gently comforted me.
In Lin Zhibai's warm embrace
I gradually stopped sobbing.
But the pain in my heart did not lessen in the slightest.
At this time,
He slowly opened his mouth and told me, "Jin Buwei is not dead."
Upon hearing this, I stared at him in disbelief, my eyes widening.
Then he continued, "Brother Qin has been having me secretly investigate Jin Buwei's whereabouts, and recently we've finally gotten some leads."
As he spoke, he took out a photo of Kim Bo-wai standing abroad and handed it to me.
Looking at that familiar figure in the photo, he was talking business with someone with great enthusiasm.
It made my heart ache as if it were being torn apart.
More shock, heartache, and despair filled my chest, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.
I once gave him all my sincere feelings, and even lost our child because of him!
But now,
He so cruelly abandoned me, living a carefree life alone in a foreign land.
Tears blurred my vision again, and I leaned helplessly on Lin Zhibai's shoulder, letting the sorrow spread unchecked.
Lin Zhibai stayed by my side the whole time, constantly comforting me and trying to dispel the gloom in my heart with his care.
—
After I calmed down, I began to rack my brains for a solution.
After much thought, a brilliant idea suddenly struck him—to fake his death!
However, this fake death plan cannot be too ordinary; it must be earth-shattering and spectacular!
Otherwise, a slight mistake could expose a flaw.
Therefore, to ensure everything goes smoothly, I first decided to drug Qin Shisheng, temporarily rendering him incapable of movement and consciousness, so as to prevent him from ruining my plans at a crucial moment.
