In the villa.
Liu Renzhi pulled up all the surveillance footage and mobilized all his connections.
While he was frowning in distress, Lin Wanyi reminded him,
"Qin Chao.
"Do you think Siyue might have gone to find Qin Chao?"
Liu Renzhi immediately recalled that when Liu Siyue had wanted to go out earlier, he had seen a message from Qin Chao.
A bad premonition crept into his heart.
He immediately got into his car.
Lin Wanyi followed behind him. Su Jing also wanted to get in, but Liu Renzhi stopped her:
"Mom, wait at home. If Siyue comes back on her own, call me right away."
Liu Renzhi drove very fast, his fingers turning white from gripping the steering wheel.
Lin Wanyi was worried, but she didn't say a word.
She just silently tightened her seatbelt.
At a red light, Lin Wanyi saw Liu Renzhi's eyes redden.
She gently placed her hand over his.
With just that touch, Liu Renzhi took a deep breath, gradually calmed his emotions, and sped off again.
On the other side, Qin Chao and Ren Anfen were still mocking Liu Siyue:
"Don't think you're so great just because your family has money. A woman is just a woman.
"Without your purity, you are nothing. Liu Siyue, marrying my son is the only path left for you. You have no other choice."
"And what if I just won't marry him?"
Liu Siyue stepped closer to Qin Chao:
"Besides sending photos to threaten me, what else can you do?
"Qin Chao, you despicable, shameless coward."
"Despicable?"
Qin Chao wasn't angry in the slightest; instead, he grabbed Liu Siyue by the hair:
"Since you call me despicable, I'll show you just how despicable I can be right now.
"Didn't you lose the baby? That's fine, I'll just give you another one.
"Liu Siyue, just wait for me to punish you properly tonight."
He pulled Liu Siyue by the hair, trying to drag her toward the bedroom.
His other hand even reached out to tear at her clothes.
Ren Anfen cheered him on:
"Go on, son. Next month you'll have another son."
But the next second, Liu Siyue suddenly pulled out a small knife.
She pointed the blade at Qin Chao's throat:
"Come on, come at me.
"Qin Chao, if you dare take one step closer, I will stab you to death.
"I've had enough anyway, I've been bullied enough.
"I haven't wanted to live for a long time now. Come on, come at me!
"I'll take you down with me today."
Qin Chao stumbled back several steps. Ren Anfen was so frightened she hid behind him:
"What... what are you doing?
"Liu Siyue, why are you pulling a knife?
"Put it down right now, put it down!"
"Put it down?"
Instead of dropping it, Liu Siyue stepped even closer to them:
"Why should I put it down? I came here today ready to fight to the bitter end.
"I'm here to kill Qin Chao, why would I drop it?
"Don't hide! What are you hiding from?
"Didn't you want to punish me? Didn't you want to marry me and have me bear you another child, Qin Chao?
"Why are you hiding now?"
She raised the knife and lunged at Qin Chao.
Ren Anfen quickly threw open the door and fled into the hallway.
Qin Chao was also scared, but he was calmer than Ren Anfen.
He knew Liu Siyue; she was a coward. How could she possibly kill someone?
So, after calming down, he even tried to approach her:
"Yueyue, baby, put the knife down.
"Do you really want to go to prison?
"Put the knife down. As long as you put it down, I won't hold any of this against you.
"Believe me, I am absolutely the man who loves you the most in this world.
"Otherwise, even if I die, you'll become a murderer. You'll become a stain on your Liu family.
"Do you really want that?"
Liu Siyue refused to listen to anything.
It didn't matter; as long as she killed Qin Chao and then committed suicide.
She would never become a stain on the Liu family.
At this thought, she suddenly raised the knife high and stabbed toward Qin Chao.
But just as she raised her hand, she heard Lin Wanyi's voice:
"Siyue, stop!"
She snapped her eyes open and saw Lin Wanyi and Liu Renzhi.
She thought she was seeing things. Why were they here?
Lin Wanyi looked at her anxiously:
"Yueyue, let go, put the knife down.
"Calm down, take a deep breath.
"No matter how huge the problem is, you have us.
"Your parents and your oldest brother will all help you. Please don't do anything impulsive."
Liu Renzhi stood beside Lin Wanyi, and Liu Siyue saw his red eyes.
Remembering Qin Chao's threats again, she hardened her resolve and lunged at Qin Chao once more.
"No!"
Lin Wanyi dashed in front of Liu Siyue, blocking her path.
The knife accidentally slashed Lin Wanyi's arm, but she didn't utter a sound. She just hugged Liu Siyue tightly:
"Don't be impulsive, Siyue. You are still so young. You absolutely cannot ruin your life over this scumbag.
"Listen to me, put the knife down. Put it down."
Liu Siyue saw the wound on Lin Wanyi's arm.
The knife had sliced through her clothes and cut her skin.
Blood slowly stained her red sleeve, but Lin Wanyi acted as if she didn't notice a thing.
She merely held Liu Siyue:
"He's not worth sacrificing your whole life for.
"Yueyue, whatever happened, tell me, tell your brother. We will help you.
"You need to know that you are never alone."
Liu Siyue's nose finally stung with tears.
The emotions she had bottled up for days suddenly broke loose.
She threw her arms over Lin Wanyi's shoulders and wailed.
She cried until her tears flew everywhere, completely abandoning her image.
She cried until Lin Wanyi's heart ached, and even the moon quietly hid behind the clouds.
Seeing Liu Renzhi, Ren Anfen quickly raised her voice:
"Is this how you, as an older brother, educate your sister?
"So young, yet shouting and threatening to kill people like a shrew! My son merely wanted to marry her.
"And she pulls a knife to commit murder!
"You must give me an explanation today, or I will call the police right now! I will definitely have the cops throw her in jail!"
Liu Renzhi listened to Liu Siyue's aggrieved, broken sobs.
He knew that she must have suffered countless wrongs.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been pushed to the point of wielding a knife.
At this thought, he turned his head and smashed a fist right into Qin Chao's face:
"Speak! What exactly did you do to my sister to force her to pull a knife?!
"You'd better tell me everything clearly, otherwise..."
Just as his second fist was about to land, Qin Chao shouted:
"What did I do? I just gave her a baby, that's all.
"We're consenting adults, isn't this perfectly normal?
"Besides, it's not like she's some pure virgin, it's not even her first time being pregnant.
"What is she pretending for? I didn't mind her past, and she has the nerve to despise me?
"It's a joke! Liu Renzhi, you're a man too, you can understand me, right?"
"A baby?"
Liu Renzhi finally understood why Liu Siyue was so furious.
Because Siyue was pregnant. Because she was actually pregnant.
Without a second thought, he grabbed a chair and smashed it directly over Qin Chao's head:
"Qin Chao, you piece of trash, you animal! Go to hell!"
Ren Anfen never expected Liu Renzhi to get physical.
She hurriedly pulled Qin Chao away, pointing at Liu Renzhi with spit flying from her mouth:
"What gives you the right to hit my son? Is Liu Siyue some kind of saint?
"My son already told me, Liu Siyue lost her virginity a long time ago, and it wasn't even just to one man."
"My son is willing to take her now, and that is her blessing..."
Smack!
Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Wanyi furiously slapped her across the face:
"Shut up. If you dare to say one more word, I will slap your mouth to pieces."
Ren Anfen stubbornly refused to believe her, but just as she opened her mouth...
Before she could utter a single sound, Lin Wanyi's second slap landed on her face.
Then came the third, the fourth, and the fifth.
After more than a dozen consecutive slaps, she finally did not dare to speak anymore, and even her breathing became cautious.
However, Qin Chao, who had been beaten black and blue, unlocked his phone.
Countless photos and videos swiped past on his screen one by one.
Lin Wanyi ground her teeth in anger.
Not this again. This trick again.
Is this the only trick these scumbags know?
