Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight-Chapter 158: Kill Lin Zhiyi
Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Kill Lin Zhiyi
Liu Xinna’s attention had been on Li Huan all night, and only now did she realize that Song Wanqiu was dressed just like the woman in the video.
"You..." She furrowed her brow, staring at Song Wanqiu.
Song Wanqiu said in panic, "You can’t suspect me, right? I was with Third Young Master."
Liu Xinna’s eyes wandered, half believing and half doubting.
Li Huan dropped his cigarette butt and stomped on it forcefully several times, "It seems this was aimed at Miss Song, Xinna was just being used. Miss Song, have you offended anyone recently?"
Song Wanqiu pretended to ponder deeply, "This... must be Zhiyi."
"Even though we’ve had a few unpleasant encounters, she shouldn’t use Xinna like that. She doesn’t have more videos like that synthetic one at her disposal, right?"
"What if it gets uploaded online, how would we live then?"
As she spoke, her eyes began to redden.
Liu Xinna glared furiously, "She wouldn’t dare!"
Song Wanqiu offered soothing words, "Don’t worry yourself over me, as long as you two clear up the misunderstanding, that’s enough. You should go back now."
Without saying much, Liu Xinna turned and left.
Song Wanqiu and Li Huan exchanged a smile.
"The bar’s surveillance was deleted, we can’t confirm it was Lin Zhiyi."
"No matter, if I say it was her, then it was her," Song Wanqiu snorted lightly.
...
After the commotion at the bar, Lin Zhiyi hadn’t slept well all night, and she was out of spirits at work all day.
She even started having hallucinations, always feeling as though someone was watching her from behind.
So as soon as work was over, she just wanted to rush home and sleep.
When she used her key to open the door, suddenly the elevator behind her dinged.
She thought it was Sister Zhou from next door coming back and was about to greet her when two dark figures suddenly rushed out.
Thump.
She was pulled by her hair and slammed against the wall, her grip on her bag tightened as she slumped down.
In a dazed state, she heard two people mention a cell phone.
Then, darkness enveloped her.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when Lin Zhiyi gradually came to her senses, only to find the whole world upside down.
When she finally made out her surroundings, her heart clenched, and she didn’t dare to move her body that had been about to struggle.
Because at that moment, she was hanging upside down from a ten-meter diving platform.
Below was a murky, dirty swimming pool.
This must have been an abandoned swimming hall.
The seats in the stands had long since faded, some buried among weeds, and the window glass around the roof was shattered.
When the gusts of wind passed, they emitted a frightening drone, interspersed with the squeaking of the rope rubbing against the edge of the diving platform.
Lin Zhiyi’s body swayed with the rope, feeling like she could plunge down the next second.
Her cheeks flushed, and she was breathing so rapidly her heartbeat thudded in her ears.
Suddenly, the sound of hesitant high heels came from below.
Liu Xinna, wearing a men’s leather jacket and accompanied by five or six men, walked to the poolside.
She crossed her arms, her eyebrows raised as she stared at Lin Zhiyi’s face, clicking her tongue twice, "No wonder you dared to seduce Third Young Master, you have the face of a vixen. It’s a shame, though, I’m not a man; I don’t understand the finer points of pity and tenderness."
With that, she clapped her hands twice.
Lin Zhiyi hadn’t even had time to react when the rope loosened, and she plummeted toward the water surface.
Even though she had braced herself mentally, she screamed in terror.
"Aah!"
The massive impact made her feel as if her soul had been ripped out, yet with her hands and feet bound, she couldn’t struggle.
Just when she felt like her lungs were about to burst; she was swiftly pulled up. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Lin Zhiyi coughed violently, each breath pain-laden.
Liu Xinna, however, burst into mocking laughter.
Her cackle echoed through the venue for a long while before dissipating with her malicious tone.
"Lin Zhiyi, this is what you get for playing me. This pool will be filled in tonight, and if you don’t want to be buried forever with this stink, you’ll hand over those videos you edited."
Lin Zhiyi clenched her teeth, struggling to calm herself down.
"Edited? Did Song Wanqiu tell you that? No wonder you were deceived by her until you had nothing left. You are so gullible!"
"You! It seems that unless I show you some color, you really think I’m joking with you? My dad is in charge of security reconstruction in this district. With just a nod from me, you, Lin Zhiyi, will cease to exist in this world!"
"So that’s how your dad conducts his office. It seems your Liu Family has done a lot of dirty deeds behind the scenes," Lin Zhiyi sneered.
Hearing this, a vicious look flashed across Liu Xinna’s face.
"Throw her down!"
Lin Zhiyi was again plunged into the foul-smelling pool, over and over, until she nearly drowned.
When they pulled her up again, her breathing was faint, but the look she gave Liu Xinna still carried her original defiance.
Liu Xinna felt an inexplicable irritation: "Where are the videos, really? This is your last chance!"
Lin Zhiyi glanced around with the corner of her eye and countered, "I’m very curious, why did you come looking for me? And who sent you?"
"Shut up! Stop sowing discord in front of me!" Liu Xinna yelled.
"What discord? I don’t know anything," Lin Zhiyi turned her face away.
Seeing this, Liu Xinna gave a snort of contempt and slowly took a few steps closer.
"Lin Zhiyi, you’re here giving me evasive answers to delay time. You couldn’t be thinking that someone will come to rescue you, could you?"
"I forgot to tell you, one of my uncles is at the police station. Before you passed out, the alarm you reported, he told me about it. He also said that a little misunderstanding between girls should not be overplayed."
As she spoke, Liu Xinna took out the alarm that Lin Zhiyi had hidden in her bag.
This device connected to a smartphone, and in case of danger, you only needed to press it lightly, and the phone would automatically call for help with your location.
That’s why Lin Zhiyi deliberately dragged it out without saying anything.
She was waiting for the police to arrive.
But she forgot that the Liu Family’s influence had permeated politics for three generations, infiltrating every corner.
Liu Xinna smashed the alarm in front of Lin Zhiyi, crushing it with the sharp heel of her shoe and kicking it into the pool.
There was a plonk and Lin Zhiyi watched her last hope shattered, her face paling.
Before Lin Zhiyi could react, she was thrown into the pool again.
However, this time, Liu Xinna didn’t immediately order someone to pull her out but walked to the nearest edge, watching her struggle fruitlessly in the water.
Not until Lin Zhiyi was exhausted and struggling to breathe as she sank down did Liu Xinna slightly raise her hand to have her dragged to the edge.
Lin Zhiyi’s mouth and nose stung as she retched uncontrollably.
When she looked up, Liu Xinna’s sharp heel hovered around her eyes, as if it was about to pierce them at any second.
"Still not talking?"
She wore a mischievous smile, as if human life was just a game.
But Lin Zhiyi knew her life truly meant nothing to Liu Xinna.
Under the water, Lin Zhiyi’s hand found a broken piece of tile.
Relieved and also calmer by this fact, she knew she had to save herself!
However, the Liu Xinna in front of her was losing patience, and the heel of her shoe approached Lin Zhiyi’s eyeball.
Lin Zhiyi shouted, "Wait a minute!"
Liu Xinna scoffed with annoyance, "You should have complied earlier, what a hassle!"
Lin Zhiyi looked up at her and said, "Miss Liu, do you really think I have a reason to lie to you? I’m about to die; what good does lying do me? If you don’t believe me, I could unlock my phone and computer for you to check them all."
Liu Xinna’s gaze swept over her weakened face. Killing her was as simple as crushing an ant, no need to rush this moment.
"Bring me her bag."
