core area.
The streets are bright and clean, the city is tidy, and high-rise buildings stand tall.
The extravagant private clubs, psychic spas, holographic opera houses, and luxury casinos along the street all exude an atmosphere of lavish indulgence.
The hovercars sped across the sky, weaving through the shadows of the floating islands, which resembled palaces of the gods—the assets of the five great families.
This is the real city center of Hancheon, filled with mansions and larger than the combined area of the residential and low-lying areas.
"Xiao Ai, do you still remember this place?" Lin Weiwei pointed to the opera house and said with emotion, "When you first saw an opera, you became a loyal fan of Mr. Jingfeng and always begged me to take you to see operas."
"And that ice cream shop over there, I remember it very clearly, your favorite flavor was..."
"Enough!" Li Ai interrupted her, gritting her teeth, "That's all in the past. What exactly is your purpose?"
"Heh, even changing my appearance can't escape your pursuit. You're determined to kill me!"
Lin Weiwei's smile slowly faded, and she actually nodded: "Yes."
"Then come on! You bastard, I should have seen through you long ago, you white lotus green tea bitch! I'll f*** you!" Li Ai shouted wildly, struggling and spewing 'telegrams' from her mouth.
If it weren't for the nun dressed as a maid holding her back, she would have rushed up and torn her apart long ago.
Even if Lin Weiwei was at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, even with spiritual energy protecting her, her broken teeth wouldn't leave a single scratch, which was better than dying such a humiliating death.
No matter how much Li Hui tried to soothe her in his mind, he couldn't bring her back to her senses.
Once hatred is ignited, how can it be extinguished before it is completely burned out?
"Shut up!" The maid suddenly raised her hand, ready to teach Li Ai a lesson.
The next second, Lin Weiwei's gaze suddenly turned cold, her spiritual pressure roared and vibrated, and blue light flashed. The maid was struck as if by lightning, vomiting blood and flying backwards onto the street, causing passersby to whisper among themselves.
"M-Miss, I...I was wrong." The maid struggled to crawl back, blood flowing from her seven orifices. She slammed her head against the ground repeatedly, staining the ground red, but she still dared not stop.
Lin Weiwei did not respond, nor did she look at her again. Instead, she looked at Li Ai, who was no longer restrained, her limbs were disordered and she was baring her teeth and claws, looking like she wanted to pounce but was stiff and retreating.
[Little rascal, wake up!]
Li Hui tried his best to regain control of his body, preventing Li Ai from "flying like a moth to a flame," while a series of cool sensations kept hitting Li Ai's brain, trying to calm her down.
Seeing this, Lin Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle and said gently, "Xiao Ai, my dear junior, you're still as funny and carefree as ever."
"Damn it! If you want to kill me, then hurry up and do it!" Li Ai gritted her teeth, but gradually calmed down a bit.
Lin Weiwei's eyes flickered, and she suddenly sneered, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly. My family knows you're not dead, knows you're hiding, and even has ways to track you down."
"Next, you will face endless pursuit, tormented like a cat playing with a mouse, until you breathe your last."
"So hate as much as you want, this is your destiny."
At this point, she appeared beside Li Ai as if in a flash, her tone carrying a hint of inexplicable expectation: "No one cares whether you live or die; you are just an insignificant stepping stone on the Lin family's path to advancement."
"I know you wish you could wipe out my entire Lin family. If you can, then go ahead."
"Remember, you only have 'six months'."
The hovercar descended from the sky, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to open the car door, filled with utmost awe.
Before getting into the car, Lin Weiwei glanced back at Li Ai.
That glance was complex—it contained guilt, pity, and something else... that Li Ai couldn't understand.
"See you in six months, Xiao Ai," she whispered. "I hope you'll still be alive then."
As the hovercar took off, she looked down at Han Chuan through the window. The lotus pendant on her chest was slightly warm, and a flash of crimson light appeared.
"Hate," she whispered, not knowing who she was referring to, "hate even more."
For the first time, cracks appeared on that perfect face from the struggle.
Tracking, half a year, expectant tone... Lin Weiwei, what are you thinking?
Li Ai watched the floating vehicle disappear into the distance, her eyes flickering. She needed the truth—the real truth!
The motives behind the arranged marriage between prominent families were too simplistic. Li Ai didn't believe Lin Weiwei was that kind of person, nor was it worth the trouble of tormenting herself for a year.
Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said thoughtfully, "It seems she has special methods to locate you."
"I know." Li Ai nodded, having completely calmed down.
He thought that by taking Zhou Siyu's body, he could gain a period of stable development, but in the end, it turned out to be wishful thinking.
However, this is not necessarily absolute.
Perhaps Lin Weiwei sensed something and followed the clues based on Zhou Siyu's unusual behavior.
It seems I need to plan my escape in advance and make use of Zhou Siyu's identity to continue contributing.
Hanchuan No. 2 Middle School, training ground.
The humming of the machinery was piercing, and the 'bang bang' sounds were like artillery fire.
Wearing a tight-fitting training suit, Li Ai's figure flashed amidst the dense training iron balls. Her legs were swift and powerful, each kick precisely kicking away the incoming iron balls.
Occasionally, she would be unable to dodge in time and be hit by the iron balls, making her grimace in pain.
A round of high-intensity flash counter training has ended.
Li Ai sat down to drink water. After a training session, her hair was wet and her training clothes were soaked with sweat and clung tightly to her body.
"Zhou Siyu!!"
A furious roar suddenly erupted as Zhou Siyuan charged forward, his handsome face contorted with rage.
He grabbed Li Ai by the neck and forced her onto the mat beneath him, his knuckles turning white from the force: "What did you tell Mom and Dad? They were crying and making a scene at home, saying you exposed my exploitation of you, and that I forced you to do bad things. What are you trying to do? Are you crazy?!"
The pain was intense; Zhou Siyuan exerted tremendous force, his hands like iron hoops making it difficult for Li Ai to breathe.
Li Ai strained with all her might to pry his fingers open, her voice hoarse and deliberately amplified with grief and indignation: "Hiss... I'm... insane!"
"Only a madman would get involved with his own brother, wagging his tail like a dog for those measly resources!" She suddenly choked up, "Only a madman would agree to help you murder Li, sob sob sob—"
"Shut up! Do you want to die?!" Zhou Siyuan covered Li Ai's mouth, looking around warily, unaware that the surveillance camera in the training ground was flashing red in the corner.
Zhou Siyuan broke out in a cold sweat and released his grip, soothingly asking, "Are you angry that I took away your resources?"
"Otherwise what?" Li Ai coughed and looked up, her eyes filled with "madness".
"All the money from home, my body tempering fluid, and my contribution points went to you. You're the pride of Class A, and what about me? I'm just trash from Class B!"
"Even after all this, you still want to steal the reward Lin Fan gave me! I'm the one who killed him, sob sob sob—"
Zhou Siyuan quickly covered her mouth, roaring, "Can you shut up! Don't tell everyone everything!"
"If Young Master Lin finds out, neither of us will survive!"
"Alright!" Zhou Siyuan stood up, kicking the floor mat at his feet in frustration. "You just want resources, right? I'll give you the money and contribution points, just don't cause me any more trouble!"
He took out his phone, and the notification sound of the payment being processed rang out crisply.
"Use this 200,000 Azure Dragon Coins and 300 contribution points first. We'll talk about the Body Tempering Liquid later. Go explain to your parents, or don't blame me for being ruthless and exposing your true identity!"
After saying that, he glared at Li Ai and hurriedly left the training ground.
Li Ai lay on the ground, her shoulders trembling slightly. After the footsteps completely disappeared, she suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with a sly smile, devoid of any sadness.
[That cunning kid. One act, and he's got 500,000 Azure Dragon Coins in his pocket—much more efficient than working a regular job.]
Li Hui's voice carried a hint of speechlessness followed by a relieved smile.
Kids from wealthy families are just different.
zizi——
After the surveillance video ended, Li Ai put away the USB drive and pushed the unconscious security guard back in front of the monitor.
When he woke up, it was almost time to leave work. Wouldn't it be great to just go home?
"Now that we have evidence one, it's time for evidence two."
Li Ai gazed at the setting sun, her eyes slightly narrowed.
I don't have the strength to wipe out the Lin family.
But now that the facade has been torn off, at least he should expose his past of being murdered and bullied, causing the Lin family's reputation to plummet and plunging them into a media storm, thus buying himself more time to grow.
"Ma Shuang, where are you? Hehe—"
[Tsk, tone it down a bit, you're smiling like a villain.]
