Inside the apartment building.
Lin Yu watched as Yi Haizhou's location started to move, heading towards He Jing's new home. With a serious look on his face, he began to prepare to go out.
The progress of the matter was much smoother than expected.
The chat records that Yi Haizhou saw were, of course, half - true and half - false.
The purpose was to make Yi Haizhou believe.
At this moment, he.
Was completely at the end of his rope!
Lin Yu had, of course, sent the whistle - blower email to Yi Haizhou's company.
Next.
Let's see how this "man at the end of his rope"
Would deal with his mistress who took his money to support a gigolo!
...
It was a little after two o'clock in the afternoon.
He Jing arrived at her newly renovated home and opened the closed windows one by one to let in some fresh air.
Right after the renovation, it wasn't possible to move in directly.
Letting the smell air out was an essential process.
Today, it was being used temporarily for a "major project" for two people.
To create some atmosphere, He Jing also brought two wine glasses and an opened bottle of red wine from home.
If Lin Yu was too reserved later.
She'd let him have a few glasses first, and he'd soon relax completely.
He Jing had a lot of say when it came to "newcomers".
"Ding dong!"
Just as she was daydreaming about the upcoming passionate encounter, a WeChat message came in.
[Lin Yu: I'm in the community. Pay attention to the knock on the door later.]
[He Jing: Just come in. It's unlocked. I'm waiting for you.]
After replying to the message, He Jing went to the bathroom to adjust the height of her camisole.
She applied lipstick again to make sure she looked good.
"Bang!"
The sound of the door closing came from the living room.
A look of excitement immediately appeared on He Jing's face. She shouted to the outside of the bathroom:
"Pretty boy, I'm in the bathroom. I'll be out soon."
"If you want to peek, you can come over too!"
"Hehe, no one will ever know what happens here today."
In the living room.
Yi Haizhou was holding a car - repair wrench he'd brought up from the trunk, gripping one end tightly.
The voice coming from the bathroom completely shattered the last bit of Yi Haizhou's sanity.
Yi Haizhou trembled all over.
Pain, struggle, remorse, anger...
For so many years, he had abandoned his family and caused an irreparable disaster outside for such a woman who casually hooked up with her boyfriend's subordinate and her best friend's nephew.
If it hadn't been for a coincidence today.
Yi Haizhou wouldn't have realized that He Jing had betrayed him until he was arrested.
This most vicious woman was even planning to have a "passionate encounter" with her best friend's nephew on the same day she reported him!
Yi Haizhou felt an inexplicable sense of shame for having trusted He Jing before.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The sound of patent leather high - heels came from the bathroom.
After He Jing walked out gracefully with her hands behind her back.
When she saw Yi Haizhou, her smile froze on her face instantly.
"O, old Yi? Why are you...?"
"Why are you here?"
"Why didn't you tell me before you came?"
"I'm still..."
He Jing tried hard to think.
What excuse she could come up with to resolve the current awkward situation.
Yi Haizhou was even holding a "weapon" in his hand...
"Didn't expect me to come, did you? Am I interrupting your good deed?"
"In your eyes, I should be in a police car, handcuffed and taken away by now, right?"
Yi Haizhou stepped forward slowly, his eyes blazing with anger as he questioned He Jing.
He Jing instinctively took a step back, her eyes darting towards the phone on the back of the sofa.
The last time...
She was able to control Yi Haizhou with her words.
But this time, being caught "on the spot", it would probably not be so easy to get through smoothly.
Even so...
He Jing's first reaction was to grab the phone and then rush into the bedroom and lock the door.
For the rest of the time, she would call the police while trying to communicate with Yi Haizhou.
"Lao Yi, what do you mean by that? What police car? What do you mean by disturbing me?"
"Didn't we... didn't we plan it? We're going to start with that Lin Yu kid!"
"He'll be here soon. Are you coming now because you don't trust me?"
"Fine. You can listen in the next room and see how... how I get that kid hooked!"
"Then... then you should be at ease, right?"
He Jing's subtle movements didn't escape Yi Haizhou's eyes.
Her intention of slowly backing towards the sofa to get the phone was practically written all over her face.
Yi Haizhou: "Oh~~ So you're just following the plan?"
He Jing: "Yeah. What else could it be? Are you going to misunderstand me again?"
Finally...
He Jing reached the sofa and slowly stretched her hand towards the phone on the back of it.
The moment her fingers touched the phone...
"Bang!"
"Ah..."
The wrench in Yi Haizhou's hand came crashing down violently.
He Jing let out a shrill scream in pain, retracted her hand and slumped to the ground.
The phone also fell in front of her.
"Who are you going to call?"
"Bang!"
"Who! Are you calling!!"
"Bang... Bang..."
"I'll let you! Let you fucking call!"
"Call! Call again!"
"Bang... Bang..."
Yi Haizhou smashed the phone into pieces with a series of violent blows.
He Jing herself realized...
Yi Haizhou had really gone crazy!
Enduring the pain in her hand, she scrambled towards the inner bedroom.
Staying in the living room face - to - face with Yi Haizhou, just thinking about it made her realize how dangerous it was.
However...
How could Yi Haizhou give He Jing such a chance?
He easily grabbed He Jing's ankle and pulled her back several times.
"Lao Yi... Lao Yi!"
"Calm down... Don't do it!"
"I really haven't done anything wrong to you. Don't scare me..."
He Jing was really panicked this time.
She also witnessed how terrifying a person could be when pushed to the brink.
Would it still be too late to admit that she had indeed invited Lin Yu now?
He Jing had absolutely no idea where Yi Haizhou's limit of tolerance was this time.
"Aren't we supposed to get through this difficult time together?"
"Without me... How can you get through it? Am I right?"
He Jing tried her best to emphasize her own importance.
No matter which sentence hit the mark...
As long as she could show a little bit of it, maybe it would make Yi Haizhou hesitate.
Yi Haizhou let out a cold laugh and said:
"Get through the difficult time? Hahaha, hahahaha!"
"Use my life to save yours, right?"
"Did you ever think about your own end when you sent that whistle - blower email to my boss?"
He Jing shook her head in confusion, not understanding what Yi Haizhou was talking about:
"Whistle - blower email? What whistle - blower email? I don't..."
"Bang!"
He Jing didn't even finish her sentence.
The swung wrench landed on her temple.
In an instant.
A sharp pain and a sense of dizziness hit her, causing He Jing to fall heavily to the ground.
The last scene of her life that she saw before falling into a coma.
It wasn't the company of her family or the embrace of her lover.
It was the guy who regarded her as an enemy, launching a fierce attack on her with a weapon...
Fifteen minutes later.
Lin Yu avoided the surveillance cameras in the community and stood in the shadow of the building corner.
After watching Yi Haizhou leave in a hurry.
He then went upstairs with peace of mind, ready to do the final finishing work!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation.
