Gu Qichen felt that sothing was wrong.
He walked straight into the room.
anwhile, Gong Xue’er took the opportunity to leave.
After Gu Qichen entered the room, the first place he checked was the bathroom.
But there was no one inside.
The two children were still soundly asleep on the bed.
Gu Qichen searched every corner of the room.
There was no sign of Xia Yangyang.
"Yangyang!"
Gu Qichen called out Xia Yangyang’s na loudly.
But no one responded.
Gu Qichen was utterly perplexed.
He had been outside the whole ti.
This was a sealed room, with only one door.
Earlier, Xia Yangyang had not left.
How could she have vanished into thin air?
Could there be so hidden chanism or secret passage in this room?
Gu Qichen walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window...
Gong Xue’er, however, was laughing secretly to herself.
Xia Yangyang had fallen from a height into the swimming pool.
Probably no one would ever know how she fell, and no one ever would.
Coincidentally, Gu Qichen had provided her with an alibi.
Xia Yangyang could still be useful.
But, she had already arranged everything in advance.
She refused to believe Xia Yangyang could escape with her life this ti.
Xia Yangyang never expected that she would fall from the edge of the window.
Clearly, there was sturdy floor-to-ceiling glass there.
How did it suddenly vanish, as if by magic?
The last thing Xia Yangyang saw as she fell was Gong Xue’er’s vicious and sinister expression.
The feeling of falling was eerily familiar.
For an instant, countless images surged through Xia Yangyang’s mind.
A luxurious cruise ship.
An endless crowd of figures.
Flashing lights.
Chaotic scenes, punctuated by bone-chilling gunfire ringing in her ears.
Xia Yangyang plunged into the water.
The force of gravity dragged her deeper and deeper.
But Xia Yangyang quickly regained her senses.
Thankfully, she had fallen into water.
Even though the impact of the water against her body felt like slashes from knives.
Her sharp awareness and survival instincts drove her to swim toward the surface with all her might.
She couldn’t afford to dwell on the confusing images in her mind right now.
She had only one thought—to survive.
She must survive.
And expose all of Gong Xue’er’s sches.
Even if she had to fight this demon to the bitter end.
She absolutely couldn’t die here.
But just as Xia Yangyang was about to break through to the surface,
she suddenly felt a force around her legs, as if sothing was entangling them.
The more she struggled, the tighter it beca.
Xia Yangyang turned her head.
And to her shock, she realized there was another person in the water.
That person was desperately pulling Xia Yangyang’s legs, dragging her toward the depths.
It turned out Gong Xue’er had been prepared from the beginning.
She had orchestrated Xia Yangyang’s inexplicable fall into the pool and then had soone drown her.
This way, it might even look like an accidental slip and fall.
Xia Yangyang used all her strength to fight back.
She tried her best to kick the person away.
But by now, Xia Yangyang had been underwater for so ti.
The air in her lungs was running dangerously low.
She could feel her strength weakening.
Her consciousness began to blur.
As Xia Yangyang desperately looked up toward the surface, she seed to see many things.
The images in her mind were chaotic, flashing by like a carousel of mories.
Amidst all these fragnted recollections, Xia Yangyang seed to see Gu Qichen’s shadow again and again.
She even felt as though Gu Qichen’s face was magnified, right in front of her...
But Xia Yangyang couldn’t stop those images from playing.
All her mories were shattered pieces that she couldn’t piece together.
Gradually, Xia Yangyang finally exhaled a stream of bubbles underwater.
The last bit of air escaped her lungs, and Xia Yangyang’s world fell into darkness...
