Lu Haotian’s eyes were bloodshot, resembling a demon ready to devour soone.
His voice sounded as though it ca from the depths of hell: "Gong Xue’er, don’t think I won’t dare. I could kill you right now."
Gong Xue’er, however, seed completely unafraid: "If I could die by your hand, I’d consider it a fulfilling end. But Lu Haotian, if you kill , do you think you’ll ever be able to stay with Xia Yangyang for the rest of your life? You won’t escape this island. I’ll make Xia Yangyang, and everyone here, accompany in death."
By the ti Gong Xue’er spoke the final words, even forming syllables beca difficult for her.
In the end, Lu Haotian finally released her: "You’re truly a complete madwoman."
Lu Haotian was already well aware that Gong Xue’er had descended into madness.
Her obsession with him and jealousy of Xia Yangyang had long since twisted her beyond the point of retaining even a shred of humanity.
Gong Xue’er gasped deeply for air, clutching her throat with her hand.
She laughed and said, "When it cos to cruelty, you’ve still lost."
Indeed, he had lost. She was insane, and he couldn’t compete with her madness.
Though there had been countless monts where he desperately wanted to kill her, he simply couldn’t take her life over just a few words. In the end, killing soone was against the law.
Lu Haotian said, "Gong Xue’er, I’ll keep my eyes wide open and watch you. I won’t let you harm Yangyang. If Yangyang gets hurt, I’ll repay it double through you. If she loses a single hair, you’ll lose one. If she breaks one bone, I’ll make sure you break two. I may not kill you, but I promise you won’t have an easy ti."
After saying that, Lu Haotian turned to leave.
He didn’t want to stay by this deranged woman’s side for even a mont longer.
As he reached the doorway.
Gong Xue’er shouted at his back: "Lu Haotian, you’ll admit defeat. You’ll kneel before and beg. One day, you’ll fulfill all my demands. You can’t escape the palm of my hand."
Her final words were almost scread with hysteria.
Lu Haotian didn’t stop. He walked straight out without hesitation.
Gong Xue’er collapsed onto the floor, laughing maniacally.
Nearby was a floor-length mirror.
Gong Xue’er caught sight of her own disheveled reflection in the mirror.
Suddenly, she thought of herself as a genuine lunatic.
But so what, even if she was insane?
She wanted to drag everyone into her madness.
Everything she had ever desired since childhood, she would find a way to get.
And so far, she had indeed managed to achieve it all.
Lu Haotian, just you wait. You’ll co begging to .
When Xia Yangyang returned to her room after walking along the hallway, she seed troubled.
Xia Ye was already lying in bed, asleep.
anwhile, Gu Qichen was sitting on the sofa in the room, casually flipping through a magazine, as though he had been waiting for her.
Seeing Xia Yangyang enter, Gu Qichen wore an expression tinged with slight surprise.
"Why are you back so early?"
He had only just arrived monts before.
Xia Yangyang replied, "Gong Xue’er ca over. We didn’t talk much."
Gu Qichen rely uttered a faint "Oh."
It seed that the answer she had been seeking hadn’t been confird yet.
But there was no need to rush.
This was only the first day—there would be plenty of chances in the days ahead.
Gu Qichen didn’t ask her anything further.
He walked over to Xia Yangyang’s side and, standing behind her, gently squeezed her shoulders and said, "Alright, for now, don’t think about any worries. I’ve drawn a bath for you—go soak comfortably first. Tomorrow, you can face everything again. No matter what happens, I’ll be here with you."
