"Your plan is to lure to this island and set up all these traps and chanisms?"
"You weren’t the main focus of my plan. The main focus was to bring Haotian here. I told you before, Yangyang, I never wanted your illness. If you want to bla soone, bla Haotian for being too obsessed with you. He wanted to take you away—how could I possibly let the two of you live happily together? That’s why I orchestrated the accident at the racetrack. Whether you got hurt or the child got hurt, there was no way you’d leave after that."
Xia Yangyang could only feel a shiver run through her entire body. "But Xingxing is your daughter—you could actually bring yourself to do that?"
"Why couldn’t I? She’s just like her father; she actually loves you more than she loves , her biological mother. I regret giving birth to her—she’s nothing but a traitorous little ingrate. But you all got lucky; neither of you ended up hurt."
"So that’s when you decided to kill . If I die, everything will co to an end, won’t it?"
Gong Xue’er walked up to Xia Yangyang and stood before her. "That’s right, Yangyang, you’re absolutely right. I should have killed you a long ti ago—because only if you’re dead will Haotian completely let go."
"But if I die, Lu Haotian will still never be with you."
Xia Yangyang’s words seed to spark sothing in Gong Xue’er.
Gong Xue’er said, "For all these years, the only obstacle between and him has been you, Xia Yangyang, only you. Once you’re dead, I have ways to make him love . Do you know, three years ago, I acquired a pharmaceutical company? I had them work on developing a drug that can erase mories. And soon—very soon—it’ll finally be completed."
Xia Yangyang found it inconceivable. "That kind of research is outright inhumane."
But Gong Xue’er appeared entirely unfazed. "Yangyang, if you lose your mory, if you forget Gu Qichen, forget everything that happened between you, you can start over with Lu Haotian. If you can, so can Haotian. He’ll forget everything and start over with . But the prerequisite is that I can’t let you two run away together. Before my drug is perfected, I can’t let Haotian leave. So, Xia Yangyang, you’re standing in my way—I have no choice but to get rid of you."
Xia Yangyang spoke, "Gong Xue’er, just so you know, don’t harbor such delusions. That drug will never be successfully developed."
Gong Xue’er suddenly went mad. "I’ll succeed—I definitely will. But Xia Yangyang, I won’t allow you to ruin all my plans before I do. To be safe, you... should just die."
With those words, Gong Xue’er suddenly pushed Xia Yangyang back when she wasn’t prepared.
Xia Yangyang had been standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling glass window.
But the tempered glass seed to vanish, as if by magic.
Xia Yangyang’s entire body fell backward.
Xia Yangyang plumted straight from the fourth floor into the outside swimming pool.
Gong Xue’er stood by the doorway, overlooking the splashing water below.
"Xia Yangyang, do you know why I arranged for you to stay in this room?"
"Because the floor-to-ceiling window in this room is foldable and remote-controlled."
"This technology was developed by a tech company under Wilson Company and hasn’t yet been announced to the world."
"It’s perfect for... killing soone without leaving a trace."
After Xia Yangyang fell, Gong Xue’er pressed the remote control again.
The glass suddenly reappeared, fully intact.
Gong Xue’er turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and left.
Gu Qichen, as expected, was still at the doorway.
Gong Xue’er spoke calmly, "Yangyang just went to the bathroom. She’s been in there for a while. I won’t wait for her—I’ll be leaving first. You can go in and check on her."
