Ao Xinghao: "Xin doesn’t need me to monopolize her. She’s always cared for me the most. When we left the dungeon, she even hugged me, the only one, mind you."
Hu Yi: "That’s not true! That’s simply not true. Sister Xin hugged me too! You’re not the only one. Hmph, if I had known you were so narcissistic, I would have ratted you out as Queen in the dungeon! You, a man dressed as a woman!"
Ao Xinghao: "Thanks, that way they’d immediately discover you’re a useless fool, and instead of breaking your hands, it’d be your head gone."
Hu Yi: "... You! Little Zhenzhen, come help me argue this out."
Ao Xinghao: "Little Zhenzhen, don’t bother with him. He’s the type who can share hardships but not share blessings, an absolute dolt."
Huo Zhen lay quietly, ignoring the two squabbling fools.
Two complete idiots, he didn’t even want to join the argument. Sister Xin was in his heart; no one could take her away.

President Mansion.
Jun Ruyi shouted angrily into the phone:
"At the Imperial University campus, such a perfect opportunity, and you couldn’t catch her?"
"Didn’t the construction crew cooperate with you, let you in?"
"So many bulldozers and excavators, any one of them could have crushed her without leaving any traces—just say the machine malfunctioned!"
"Is the money I gave you being fed to dogs? Can’t even handle this much?"
A series of intense questions left the killer on the other end embarrassed: "Miss, it’s not that simple. Assassination isn’t as easy as that."
How many people were around Qin Xin at the time?
Initially, there were a bunch of engineers.
Even went down into the underground tunnel, who dared to follow in?
Later, Nalan Ye Jue had an uncountable number of elite bodyguards protecting her. Not even a mosquito could get close.
Jun Ruyi: "I don’t care, you must take her down for me. I’ll pay ten times the previous price."
Mankind dies for riches, birds die for food.
The killer’s eyes lit up: "Miss, to take her down, it’s not completely impossible. Although I didn’t act today, I tailed her all the way. She sent those three boys into a lab and came out at night. But the three boys didn’t come out. This means she’ll definitely return to the lab tomorrow. As long as I wait patiently... "
Jun Ruyi impatiently interrupted him: "I don’t want to hear the process, just the result!"
Killer: "... Fine, tomorrow I’ll bring her head to you."

Nalan Ye Jue drove Qin Xin back to Xinghe Bay.
Perhaps she was tired, her eyes were half-closed the whole way.
Only in a few places, when the car turned, did she lift her eyes to gaze deeply into the rearview mirror, as if observing something.
Nalan Ye Jue keenly noticed: "What’s up?"
Qin Xin: "Nothing. Just drive slowly, don’t go too fast."
Too fast, and those clumsy trackers wouldn’t be able to keep up; she was really worried for them.
Nalan Ye Jue: "What time are you going to the lab tomorrow?"
Qin Xin: "The earlier the better."
Nalan Ye Jue: "I’ll take you."
Qin Xin: "That won’t be necessary. You have a meeting tomorrow."
Nalan Ye Jue: "..."
That gossipy fellow Lu Yi, how did he report my schedule to her, making it hard for me to lie temporarily?
Thinking it over, he compromised: "I’ll drop you off first, then head off. I’ll come to fetch you for lunch, okay?"
Qin Xin: "Alright then."
＝＝
Nalan Ye Jue indeed kept his word.
Early the next morning, he dropped Qin Xin at the lab entrance before driving away.
The car had only driven a few dozen meters.
Then he heard a gunshot at the lab entrance: "Bang——!"
He felt a sudden pang in his heart.
The car came to an abrupt stop.
In the rearview mirror, he saw Qin Xin lying in a pool of blood.
A vast pool of fresh blood, like a blooming flower, seeped across the entire marble steps!
