Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 134 Xie Jiaoyue is dead

Receiving a response from Li Xi, Gu Huaizhou became even more audacious. He was about to reach out and put his arm around Li Xi's waist when she ruthlessly pushed him away.

"I let you kiss me for ten seconds, don't push your luck." Li Xi said shrewishly, "If you kiss me again, I'll have to pay extra."

Gu Huaizhou: "..."

Taking advantage of Gu Huaizhou's momentary lapse in concentration, Li Xi grabbed her bag and slipped off the bus, leaving Gu Huaizhou sitting in her seat, looking on with a wistful expression.

As soon as Li Xi returned to the hotel, Xue Ni, who was waiting in the corridor, grabbed her arm and asked, "You're done so quickly?"

Li Xi was both amused and exasperated. "What nonsense are you talking about? We do everything together."

Pointing at Li Xi's messy lipstick, Xue Ni mocked her sarcastically, "Oh right, I wronged you. Your lipstick was just messed up by the cold wind."

Li Xi: "...We only kissed on the lips."

"Didn't you two break up?" Xue Ni asked with a half-smile. "Maybe customs are different in different places. In our village, men and women who have broken up don't kiss."

"The breakup was just part of your game, right?"

Feeling guilty after being teased by Xue Ni, Li Xi quickly changed the subject, "Why aren't you asleep yet? What are you waiting for me for?"

"Let's sleep together tonight and eat some melon seeds together."

Xie Jiaoyue's affair has caused a huge uproar online. Li Xi has been following Gu Huaizhou around all night and hasn't had time to surf the internet.

Since she had nothing else to do, Li Xi agreed.

Late at night, the two sisters huddled together in bed, surfing the internet and gossiping. However, Xie Jiaoyue, the subject of the gossip, was complaining bitterly.

After being driven out of the Gu Family Manor by Chu Xu's men through the side gate, Xie Jiaoyue didn't bother to protest her innocence and quickly slung her backpack over her shoulder and disappeared into Xiangyang Mountain.

The most urgent thing is to get to a safe place as soon as possible, and then try to call her brother for help.

My brother knows many influential people; they will definitely be able to help her escape the country.

Xie Jiaoyue finally decided to go to the Taoist temple on the mountaintop to seek help.

She figured that the Taoist priests were all practitioners of Taoism, and they probably wouldn't be online. Most likely, they wouldn't know her or the crimes she had committed.

Go and borrow a phone from the Taoist priests; it's guaranteed to work.

The forest path under the moonlight resembled a silver ribbon, winding and tranquil.

Xie Jiaoyue buried her head and climbed towards the top of the mountain. About an hour later, she saw a pavilion.

Her thigh was throbbing with pain, and Xie Jiaoyue wanted to sit down and rest for a while under the pavilion. But the closer she got to the pavilion, the more strange she felt.

There seemed to be a person sitting on the seat in that pavilion.

Really human?

Although Xie Jiaoyue did not believe in ghosts and gods, she was still frightened by the talk of ghosts and gods.

Humans have a rebellious streak; the more they fear something, the more they want to find out.

Suppressing her fear, Xie Jiaoyue walked towards the pavilion. When she arrived at the foot of the pavilion, she was able to see the true appearance of the thing.

That was indeed a person.

To be precise, he was a middle-aged man wearing a black windbreaker with a black hiking backpack at his feet.

The man was leaning against the railing with his arms crossed, pretending to doze off. His fisherman's hat covered his face, obscuring his true appearance.

Once she confirmed that the other party was a human and not a ghost, Xie Jiaoyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to leave quietly, she heard the man speak, asking in an inscrutable tone, "Isn't Xiangyang Mountain beautiful?"

What is the problem?

Also, this voice sounds so familiar.

"Go and sleep forever on Xiangyang Mountain, to be with my sister."

younger sister?

Xie Jiaoyue turned around abruptly and saw the man take off his fisherman's hat, revealing a resolute and cold face.

"Brother Zeng An!" Xie Jiaoyue's face paled.

Upon recognizing that this person was Zeng Yue's brother, Zeng An, Xie Jiaoyue had only one thought in her mind—

run!

Zeng An must have come to avenge his sister!

The fear of death made Xie Jiaoyue temporarily forget the injury on her thigh, and she ran at an unprecedented speed.

But she had only run five or six meters when she was hit in the back by a hard object.

"what!"

Xie Jiaoyue fell to the ground.

Feeling intense pain in her back muscles, she reached back to touch her back and discovered that there was a knife stuck in her back!

Staring at the hot blood on her fingers, Xie Jiaoyue stammered, begging for mercy, "Brother Zeng An, please let me explain, I didn't mean to hurt Yueyue..."

"Shut up!" Zeng An pulled the knife from Xie Jiaoyue's back, turned Xie Jiaoyue over, and swiftly swung the knife at Xie Jiaoyue's beautiful oval face.

...It wasn't until the gushing blood covered Xie Jiaoyue's eyes and stained the silver moon in the sky with blood that Xie Jiaoyue belatedly reached out to touch her face.

Then, she touched a piece of flesh that was sticking out.

"Oh, my face!"

Her face was completely ruined...

"Xie Jiaoyue, Yueyue considers you her best friend, yet you had someone assault her!"

"After she committed suicide due to depression, you still had the audacity to help her with her funeral arrangements. You are more vicious than a snake!"

"A vicious woman like you deserves to go to jail; you deserve to die a horrible death!"

Zeng An and his younger sister Zeng Yue depended on each other for survival, and his sister was his only motivation to persevere.

Now that he has learned that his sister's ordeal before her death was all Xie Jiaoyue's conspiracy, how can Zeng An tolerate it?

"Xie Jiaoyue, you should die!"

Zeng An was 1.85 meters tall and as strong as an ox.

In his presence, Xie Jiaoyue didn't even have the right to resist.

She could only watch, her eyes trembling with fear, as Zeng An plunged the long knife into her chest, piercing her heart...

It is said that people can see a revolving lantern before they die.

In an instant, all the events of his life flashed before his eyes, finally settling on Gu Huaizhou's face.

At this moment, Xie Jiaoyue finally realized the true intention behind Gu Huaizhou's 'kind' gesture of letting her leave the Gu family manor.

He deliberately wanted to use Zeng An as a tool to kill her!

But Xie Jiaoyue realized it too late.

The more blood flowed, the more Xie Jiaoyue died with her eyes wide open.

Zeng An stood on the path, watching Xie Jiaoyue breathe her last. He took out a cigarette and smoked two, then stood up, walked back to the pavilion, took out his phone from his backpack, and dialed 110.

"Hello, I want to turn myself in..."

the other side.

Having failed to find Jiang Qingkong, Xie Xingyun could only return to the Zhaixing Entertainment Building, seething with anger.

Seeing the increasingly exaggerated negative online buzz surrounding the company and Xie Jiaoyue, Xie Xingyun urgently convened a high-level meeting to discuss strategies to reverse the company's public opinion and reputation.

But there's always an invisible hand lurking behind the scenes, fueling the flames.

They had just managed to quell the controversy when those hands reignited it at just the right moment.

It's like a war without gunpowder, and Zhaixing Entertainment has no chance of winning; they're just a turtle in the enemy's trap.

Late at night, the administrators gathered in the conference room, each of them looking exhausted.

Just then, Xie Xingyun's phone rang again.

He answered the phone while rubbing his temples.

"Hello Mr. Xie, we are from the Dongzhou City Police..."

Upon hearing this familiar opening line, Xie Xingyun interrupted him curtly: "I already said, I don't know where Xie Jiaoyue is hiding!"

Xie Xingyun has received several such calls today.

So he subconsciously thought it was another call from the police asking about Xie Jiaoyue's whereabouts.

But the police officer on the other end of the phone said, "Mr. Xie, we have found Ms. Xie's body."

"...The remains?" Xie Xingyun swayed, and his phone fell onto the desk.

The senior administrators behind their desks also paled upon hearing the word "corpse."

"Miss Jiaoyue...is dead?"

*

Five o'clock in the morning.

When Xie Xingyun arrived at the hospital morgue and saw his sister lying motionless on the bed, he immediately suffered a mental breakdown.

"Jiaoyue!"

"Sit up right now!"

Xie Xingyun pressed Xie Jiaoyue's shoulders and kept calling and shaking her name, trying to wake her up.

But Xie Jiaoyue didn't react at all.

A staff member forcibly pulled Xie Xingyun away, saying, "Mr. Xie, let your sister leave with some dignity."

Xie Xingyun was forcibly taken out of the morgue.

Officer Zhou stood in the corridor outside the morgue and offered Xie Xingyun a cigarette.

Xie Xingyun took the cigarette with trembling fingers, put it in his mouth, but couldn't quite hold it steady.

Officer Zhou helped him light a fire.

Xie Xingyun took a few deep breaths, which calmed him down a bit.

"Who did this!" Xie Xingyun gritted his teeth.

You should know this person too.

"Know her?" Xie Xingyun couldn't guess for a moment who wanted to kill Xie Jiaoyue. After thinking it over, he asked suspiciously, "Is it the Zhou family? Or the Gu family?"

Zhou Yaoguang?

Gu Huaizhou?

"It's Zeng An."

"Zeng An?" Xie Xingyun was momentarily confused. "Who is that?"

"Zeng Yue's brother."

Xie Xingyun had only met Zeng An a few times, but he had a deep memory of Zeng Yue, Xie Jiaoyue's best friend who died young.

The crimes committed by Xie Jiaoyue were exposed online yesterday.

Xie Xingyun naturally knew that the incident where Zeng Yue was assaulted by thugs was orchestrated by Xie Jiaoyue.

Zeng Yue's later depression and suicide were all caused by Xie Jiaoyue.

Zeng Yue only had one older brother, Zeng An, with whom she depended on each other for survival.

Zeng An is avenging his tragically murdered sister!

Thinking of this, Xie Xingyun felt a sense of despair and helplessness.

"...It was him..."

"Zeng An has turned himself in. Mr. Xie, please accept my condolences."

Officer Zhou turned to leave.

Xie Xingyun suddenly called out to Officer Zhou, "Where did you find my sister's body?"

"Xiangyang Mountain".

Xiangyang Mountain?

Gu family?

Did my sister go to the Gu family to see Gu Huaizhou before she died?

Did my sister successfully meet Gu Huaizhou?

If he didn't see her, that's fine. But if he did see her, why did Gu Huaizhou send his sister to the police station instead of letting her leave?

Xie Xingyun suddenly had a bad feeling.

He suspected that Gu Huaizhou had already met his sister and knew that the Xie family had lied to him.

He worried that Gu Huaizhou had deliberately let his sister go, intending to use someone else to do his dirty work.

If that's the case, would Gu Huaizhou still let the Xie family and Zhaixing Entertainment off the hook?

Without even having time to grieve for his sister's death, Xie Xingyun rushed off to Xiangyang Mountain.

He had to try to meet with Gu Huaizhou and apologize before Gu Huaizhou could take drastic measures, so as to minimize the losses.

Xie Xingyun had just arrived at the underground parking garage when his phone rang again.

This time, the call came from Jiang Qingkong, who had disappeared for a day and a night.

Xie Xingyun answered Jiang Qingkong's call with a gloomy face.

"Jiang Qingkong, thanks to you, my sister is dead."

"Are you satisfied?"

Xie Xingyun's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, wishing Jiang Qingkong wasn't in front of him, otherwise he would have punched her head off!

Upon hearing that Xie Jiaoyue had died, Jiang Qingkong was somewhat surprised, but she quickly smiled again.

"So what if he's dead? Why blame me?"

“I only exposed her crimes; I didn’t hold a knife to her neck and force her to plot against the victims.”

"Xie Xingyun, your sister committed many evils, and her death was her own fault."

Xie Xingyun: "...Where are you?"

"What, you want to settle scores with me?"

Xie Xingyun remained silent.

Jiang Qingkong chuckled twice before saying, "Now that Xie Jiaoyue is dead, it's time to settle this messy score between us."

Come find me at the place where we had our first date.

Where to have a first date?

Seemingly guessing that Xie Xingyun had no idea where their first date was, Jiang Qingkong reminded him, "Jingshan Hot Spring Pool."
