Apartment buildings off-campus.

Lin Xiao and Tang Wanru leaned against the north-facing window, looking down at Gu Li and Gu Yuan standing opposite each other.

"Do you think those two can get back together?" Lin Xiao asked uncertainly.

"No way, Lin Xiao, Gu Yuan has already sent Gu Li's father to jail, and Gu Li doesn't have that much money anymore. Her life has plummeted. How can she possibly reconcile with Gu Yuan? That would be too shameless."

Tang Wanru said, "I think we should be more worried about what Gu Yuan might do. Let's get ready to call the police."

Lin Xiao sighed, his mind filled with thoughts of that damned mastermind, but he still held his phone tightly in his hand...

Downstairs, Gu Li stood with her arms crossed, looking at Gu Yuan, who was dressed very neatly, with great impatience.

"Say what's wrong right away."

"It's nothing, I just missed you and came to see you, and also to apologize." Gu Yuan was quite sincere. "Gu Li, I was blinded by greed back then, and was used by that Wang guy, I..."

Gu Li didn't say a word, just glanced at Gu Yuan, and turned to leave.

"Gu Li!"

Gu Yuan took two quick steps and hugged Gu Li from behind. "Gu Li, I truly regret it, and I truly love you. But don't worry, I know I've hurt you terribly, and I don't expect us to be like before. But Gu Li, you should know. That guy surnamed Wang is no good. Even if I didn't report him, he definitely wouldn't let you go."

"It's all that Wang's fault. If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened, and we wouldn't be in this situation today. Gu Li, don't worry, I'll make that idiot Wang pay the price."

Gu Li broke free from Gu Yuan's embrace, looked at the infatuated and pained Gu Yuan, and couldn't help but sneer: "Make Wang Yan pay the price? Gu Yuan, it's not that I look down on you, but do you deserve it? Are you going to be like Xi Cheng, acting like a fool, taking a knife to chop him, and almost chopping yourself to death?"

Gu Yuan shook his head confidently: "Xi Cheng is a good-for-nothing. He indulges in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and prostitution. He's not fast and not strong. It would be strange if he could kill Wang Yan."

Hearing Gu Yuan's seemingly serious words, Gu Li's eyes widened: "No way? You really want to go and chop down Wang Yan?"

Gu Yuan nodded firmly: "I'm here to say goodbye. If this succeeds, I'll definitely be executed. If it fails, I'll be in jail for seven or eight years like Xi Cheng. I checked, and if I get injured by that Wang guy, it'll be more than ten years, or even life imprisonment."

So whether I succeed or not, we'll never see each other again. Gu Li, this is my retribution, and the last thing I can do for you. Please don't hate me anymore.

"You did this for me?" Gu Li's eyes widened even more. "Please don't. When the police arrest you, if you say this, it will sound like I'm an accomplice."

Gu Li wanted to leave immediately, but seeing Gu Yuan's affectionate and sorrowful expression, she finally let out a long sigh.

"Gu Yuan, I know you resent me. I've thought about this a lot lately. If you say the problem is all my fault, I won't argue. It's true, it all started because of me. You also reported my family's affairs, and now I'm in this situation. We're even. We brought this on ourselves, so no one should blame anyone else."

"If you want to go and kill Wang Yan, I won't stop you, and I can't stop you. But Gu Yuan, you're not a child anymore. I hope you can think things through carefully before you act. There's no going back in this world!"

"I've made up my mind. I've been thinking about it for a month. Gu Li, I don't regret it! I'll make that Wang guy regret it!"

"I don't care if you die or not!" Gu Li turned and left.

"Gu Li!" Gu Yuan caught up again, wanting to hug her from behind.

With a slap, Gu Li slapped Gu Yuan across the face, glanced at him, and then left without hesitation.

It was that one glance that made Gu Yuan stand frozen in place. The indifference in Gu Li's eyes told Gu Yuan that Gu Li truly had no love for him anymore, a pain a hundred times greater than being slapped.

After standing there alone for a while, Gu Yuan lit a cigarette and left sadly...

When Gu Li got upstairs, she saw Lin Xiao and Tang Wanru staring at her expectantly, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Gu Li, why did Gu Yuan come looking for you again?" Tang Wanru asked curiously.

Lin Xiao added, "That's right, Gu Li, how can Gu Yuan still have the nerve to come looking for you after doing something like that?"

“That’s why they came to me for reconciliation after doing that kind of thing.” Gu Li sat down on the sofa.

"reconciliation?"

Tang Wanru and Lin Xiao exchanged a glance. "I think he regrets reporting your family. If he hadn't, you could have supported him for several more years!"

“It’s not that easy. Do you think Wang Yan would really let me off the hook if Gu Yuan hadn’t reported me? Impossible.” Gu Li shook her head. “Alright, Gu Yuan is a thing of the past. I don’t want to think about him anymore. You two shouldn’t worry about him either.”

Tang Wanru moved closer and sat down next to Gu Li, looking quite admiring: "Gu Li, I really admire you. After such a big incident, it's only been a short time, and you're acting like nothing happened. You truly are a strong woman of the new era."

“Gu Li, you don’t have to be so strong. You can’t keep everything inside. If you suppress it for too long, you’re prone to depression and mental problems. You always call Wang Yan mentally ill, but if you keep suppressing it, you’ll become mentally ill yourself.”

"I'm really fine," Gu Li said helplessly. "My dad was arrested, but he's not dead. After a series of seizures and fines, our family really doesn't have that much money left, but I managed to scrape together some. If I spend it sparingly, it'll be enough for me for a long time."

Besides, I'm not just someone who sits around and lives off my savings. I have professional knowledge, so whether I do something on my own or look for a job, I can always earn money.

As for Gu Yuan, after what happened with Xi Cheng was brought up again, I was already in despair and prepared to break up with him completely. Now that Gu Yuan has made me give up completely, there's nothing wrong with that.

Putting everything else aside, just consider the huge incident in Xicheng; I didn't collapse then, so what's the big deal about this now?

Lin Xiao's mouth opened slightly: "I'm relieved that you think that way."

"I'm sorry to have worried you all during this time." Gu Li reached out and hugged Lin Xiao and Tang Wanru. "It's all thanks to the two of you for being there for me that I was able to persevere. Now everything is settled, and we can start a new life."

They exchanged a few sweet nothings, mentioned Nanxiang again, and reminisced about the past, as if completing yet another ritual of sisterly affection...

"Alright, enough about me." Gu Li turned to Lin Xiao. "I haven't been paying much attention lately. How are things going between you and Jian Xi? Is it completely over?"

“He doesn’t love me at all!” Lin Xiao snorted. “He doesn’t trust me at all, and he says I’m willful, that I don’t consider his feelings, that I don’t care about him at all, and that he blames me for everything.”

Tang Wanru exclaimed, "Wait a minute, Lin Xiao, didn't you say you blamed Wang Yan before?" "How can I not blame him? He could have just talked, but he had to resort to violence. If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened. Jian Xi and I wouldn't have broken up." Lin Xiao said indignantly.

Gu Li frowned: "Why does it sound so unconvincing to me?"

"No way... I don't think so," Lin Xiao denied. "I hate Wang Yan to death."

Tang Wanru sighed, "I think I'm being a bit hypocritical. Lin Xiao, you can't betray me."

"Ugh, what are you all talking about?" Lin Xiao said unhappily. "Wang Yan is such a bad guy, how could I possibly have feelings for him? Honestly!"

Seeing that Lin Xiao was really angry, Tang Wanru stopped joining in the fun, and Gu Li looked at Lin Xiao suspiciously.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lin Xiao, I don't know what you're thinking, but please, I've been thinking a lot lately, and I know that some of the things that happened in the past were indeed my fault. I really did wrong Nan Xiang. If you... really have feelings for Wang Yan... well, I won't say anything more. We can still be good sisters."

"Hey, Gu Li, what nonsense are you talking about? You're really making me angry." Lin Xiao looked at Gu Li unhappily.

"I was just saying that. You never know what might happen. I'm saying it now so you won't be in a difficult position." Gu Li helped Lin Xiao to his feet. "Alright, you two stay here. I haven't had a good rest lately, so I need to take care of myself."

After saying that, Gu Li went back to her room.

As soon as she arrived in the room, she couldn't hold back anymore. Gone was her previous smile. She collapsed onto the bed, keeping all her sorrow to herself.

After a long while, with red eyes, she turned over and lay on her back, staring blankly at the ceiling...

Gu Yuan knew that after being chased by Xi Cheng, Wang Yan had bought Nan Xiang a new house to avoid any trouble in her life.

Of course, he only found out after following Nan Xiang for a while.

He didn't actually have to go through all this trouble, since Wang Yan was at the school; if he wanted to do something, he could have done it there. However, he considered the serious consequences of attacking someone on campus, especially since many people knew about his relationship with Gu Li, and he didn't want to cause her any trouble. So he found Nan Xiang and followed her to scout the location.

He didn't know that Xi Cheng had done the same thing. He had followed in Xi Cheng's footsteps.

However, Gu Yuan believed that he was smarter and wiser than that petty thug Xi Cheng. He understood that villains die from talking too much. When he watched the full HD video of Xi Cheng chasing and slashing Wang Yan, he noticed that Xi Cheng didn't attack immediately. Instead, he leaned closer and said a few words to Wang Yan, and even watched as Wang Yan lit a cigarette without making a move.

He thought Xi Cheng was a complete idiot.

So after tracking and observing for a period of time, he confirmed the direction and route Wang Yan took to get here, and also determined his action plan.

On an ordinary evening, the former rich kid decides to do something extraordinary and reclaim everything...

Having raised a lot of money, Wang Yan naturally wanted to use public funds to make his life more convenient, so he happily acquired a new car, an S8, which was also his old companion.

Since the new house rented for Nanxiang is an old villa with limited parking spaces, the car can only be parked on the roadside.

After a perfect parallel parking maneuver, Wang Yan turned off the engine, got out of the car, closed the door, and strolled leisurely towards the old villa.

I had only walked a few steps after crossing the road when I heard a passerby's instinctive exclamation and hurried footsteps.

Wang Yan seemed to instinctively turn around, only to see Gu Yuan, his face contorted in pain, swinging a knife at him not far behind. He instinctively stumbled, then turned and ran...

Once again, he delivered a truly classic performance. Still shaken, Wang Yan lit a cigarette, squatted on the curb, and then threw the remaining cigarette, still lit, to Gu Yuan, who was lying on the ground shivering.

Watching Gu Yuan shakily light a cigarette, Wang Yan said, "You really are impressive, Young Master Gu."

Hearing the mocking words, Gu Yuan said in a trembling voice, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't be like this today. Wang Yan, I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

Wang Yan slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and flicked the ash: "You think too highly of yourself. You're not even good enough to be alive, but you're powerful when you're dead? If you really become a ghost, with your little bit of energy, you wouldn't even be able to get within ten kilometers of me."

Actually, considering Gu Yuan's skills, being able to cover nearly ten kilometers is already quite impressive. Taking into account a person's willpower, the resentment of the deceased, and a host of other factors that determine the strength of a ghost, Wang Yan has killed far too many people in his long life. For him, "mountains of corpses and seas of blood" is not just a figure of speech.

On the other hand, if we follow the principles of fairness and justice, if others can become ghosts, then Wang Yan must also have corresponding supernatural abilities. In that case, the consequences Gu Yuan faces might be even more severe, worse than being alive.

This was something Gu Yuan didn't know; he only knew that during his last moments of conversation with Wang Yan, he uttered some nonsense...

"Wang Yan, you will definitely get your comeuppance."

Gu Yuan, who was about to go into shock due to excessive blood loss, said something after being lifted onto a stretcher: a stubborn belief that he could not fulfill.

Wang Yan went to the police station to give a statement again. When he came out, there was already a huge crowd of media outside...

Times have changed. When Xi Cheng attacked Wang Yan, Zhenxuan Life was just a company valued at 50 million. Now, when Gu Yuan attacks Wang Yan, Zhenxuan Life is a company valued at 2 billion.

At the same time, Wang Yan's reputation has grown significantly due to his various social activities. More importantly, his identity as a college student entrepreneur also generates considerable buzz. Of course, he's been a topic of discussion before, but the impact of having tens of millions in assets is different from having a billion.

Especially after the previous attack on Xicheng, it's only been a few months, and they've already been attacked again...

So in the past, Wang Yan had to spread the news himself. Now that Wang Yan is being chased and attacked, the people in the vicinity are using their phones to record it and post it online, in groups, on social media, and so on. Naturally, people have come to know Wang Yan.

Astute and resourceful media reporters immediately came to intercept Wang Yan.

This kind of commotion was a piece of cake for Wang Yan. Instead of running away, he readily agreed to the interview, omitting the specifics and giving a brief, perfunctory explanation. At the same time, he diligently promoted the talent show...

Wang Yan, who was the center of attention, remained calm and unaffected, while the onlookers became even more excited.

"Look, look! Wang Yan is being chased and hacked by Gu Yuan again!"

Tang Wanru's loud voice shattered the tranquility of the apartment...
