the information in chen tongâs words exceeded lu yinxiâs expectations.
lu yinxiâs expression was very strange. she didnât know what kind of expression she should use to express her feelings at the moment.
chen tongâs bashful smile had now turned into an arrogant one. he said to lu yinxi in a contemptuous tone, â youâve been mistaken from the beginning. iâm not the same person who killed your parents back then. â
lu yinxi was stunned.
they were all wrong!
!!
the young ladyâs murder case not long ago and the murderer behind her parents âdeath were not the same person at all! so, the young ladyâs murder case was a copycat crime committed by this man named chen tong!
then what was his plan with the police?
since chen tong wasnât the murderer of his parents, why did he still want to kill him?
lu yinxi noticed a figure flash past in the living room. her eyes flickered. she had already given up on her desire to live, but she asked chen tong, â why did you kill me? â we have no grudges!â
chen tong scolded, â you talk too much. youâll know when you die! â
he raised the sharpening stick. just as he brought the sharp end of the sharpening stick close to lu yinxiâs neck, chen tongâs hand was suddenly cut by something. chen tong was in pain, and the sharpening stick in his hand fell.
his right arm was a bloody mess.
chen tong turned around in shock and saw a tall woman standing behind him. her face was as cold as frost, and she was holding a slender dagger in her hand.
chen tong endured the pain and turned around to fight with this beautiful woman.
facing chen tongâs fist, lu zi âai took a step back and dodged it. she threw the dagger forward with her right hand. lu ziai bent over and walked behind chen tong.
she raised her right hand and caught the falling dagger.
lu zi âai grabbed chen tongâs left arm, half of his body blocking his chest, and pushed him back. chen tong stumbled backward, and lu ziai held him down. chen tongâs back hit the wall of the dining room, and he had no way out.
lu ziai spun the dagger in her right hand and pressed the sharp blade against chen tongâs neck.
from chen tongâs attack to lu ziaiâs counterattack, all of this happened in a matter of seconds.
lu yinxi didnât even see how her aunt had made her move, but she had already successfully subdued chen tong.
âcall the police!â lu ziai turned around and ordered lu yinxi to call the police.
her face was as cold as frost, but she was as beautiful as a painting.
lu yinxi came back to her senses. she quickly took out her phone and called the police.
a few minutes later, the police who had been keeping watch nearby arrived at their house. they caught chen tong, thanked lu ziai, and apologized to lu yinxi. lu yinxi and lu ziai were also involved in the case, so they were naturally taken to the police station.
the police only asked lu yinxi a few questions, and she told them everything that had happened.
the police were surprised to find out that chen tong was not the murderer of the lu coupleâs murder case, but merely an imitation. now, the murderer of the young ladyâs murder in northern city had been caught, but the old case from more than ten years ago had yet to be solved.
public opinion was still ongoing.
lu yinxi was still in danger.
the murderer who had killed her parents was still hiding in the dark. he might be observing lu yinxiâs situation. the police told lu yinxi in secret, â we will strengthen your protection. no matter who asks, just say that you have recovered your memory. weâve already taken this step and attracted the attention of the person behind this. thereâs no way out.â
how could lu yinxi not know this?
she nodded. â iâll remember our plan and wonât reveal it to anyone outside of the plan. â
lu yinxi was soon allowed to go home. thinking that her aunt was still taking notes, she decided to wait for her to go home. lu ziai walked out of the police station more than half an hour later.
lu yinxi walked up to him.
âauntie, thank you for today.â lu yinxi was very grateful to lu ziai.
if lu ziai had not happened to come home and run into chen tong, she would have lost her life.
lu ziai shook his head and did not say anything.
a police trainee sent them home. in the elevator, lu yinxi rubbed her neck. she was sweating when she thought about how her neck had almost been pierced by a sharpening stick.
noticing her movement, lu ziaiâs cold voice reverberated in the elevator. â does it hurt? â
âit doesnât hurt.â lu yinxi admitted honestly, â iâm just scared when i think about how i almost died. â
âha.â
lu yinxi heard her auntâs obviously sarcastic laughter and was a little unhappy. â i almost died. aunt, arenât you going to comfort me? â he even mocked her.
to comfort her â¦
lu ziai said, â sheâs not dead. whatâs there to comfort? â
lu yinxi didnât reply.
her aunt was a cold person, so how could she expect her to comfort her?
lu yinxi was unhappy.
when the elevator reached their floor, lu ziai walked out in high heels. lu yinxi quickly followed. lu ziai opened the door and asked lu yinxi to clean up the messy house.
lu yinxi cleaned the house without complaint, and lu ziai cooked two dishes.
it was a very casual meal, a bowl of egg broth and a bowl of stir-fried celery with meat.
there was only meat, eggs, and a handful of celery at home.
lu yinxi scooped some rice for her aunt and then for herself. she had just taken a few bites when she heard lu zi âai ask, â i heard that you remembered the things that happened when you were young? â
lu yinxi almost told lu ziai that it was just a plan she had made with the police.
she opened her mouth to tell lu ziai about the plan, but when the words reached her mouth, lu yinxi suddenly paid attention. she smiled and said, â yeah, i did remember something. â
lu ziai replied with an âoh.â
she didnât continue to ask and quickly finished the rice in a few mouthfuls, then threw the bowl and chopsticks. âyou wash the dishes.â
âalright,â he said.
lu ziai went back to her room. after lu yinxi washed the dishes, she packed her pajamas and was about to take a shower when she saw lu ziai coming out of her room in a black windbreaker.
lu ziai was also carrying a bag, as if he was going on a long journey.
â auntie, where are you going? â lu yinxi asked lu ziai.
lu ziai glanced at her indifferently. â i have to go somewhere. â
âhow many days are you going?â she stared at the bag on lu ziaiâs back.
lu ziai nodded.
she didnât explain where she was going and just left.
lu ziai did not return home for a whole week.
lu yinxi was very worried about her. she called lu ziai several times, but none of them got through. his phone seemed to be turned off. after school, lu yinxi called her aunt again. as expected, the call didnât go through.
