The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Zhao Cezhi's face became colder and colder. He pushed her away fiercely, with a hint of anger in his tone: "I told you not to interfere in this matter anymore! In order to get Lin Ruoxuan, I will do whatever it takes."

He ignored Lin Ruoting and turned around and walked away.

Lin Ruoting fell to the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks, her heart filled with despair.

However, she was unwilling to just watch Zhao Cezhi go to his death.

She took a deep breath and made up her mind that she had to tell Lin Ruoxi the news and ask her for help in coming up with ideas.

Lin Ruoting immediately asked the maid beside her to go to the small gate of the Lin family to find Lin Ruoxi, wanting to tell her the news in person.

Afterwards, Lin Ruoting quickly caught up with Zhao Cezhi, followed him quietly all the way, and made marks on the trees along the road, leaving clues for Lin Ruoxi.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Ping'an Pawnshop. Lin Ruoxuan lifted the curtain and looked around calmly, her heart already tense.

She got off the carriage and walked lightly into the pawnshop, silently calculating the time for Lin Ruoqiao to take action.

The pawnshop was unusually quiet. The lights were dim and only the faint candlelight illuminated the shelves filled with antiques.

Lin Ruoxuan looked calm, but she was secretly alert in her heart.

As soon as she walked into the hall, she suddenly felt dizzy, her limbs became weak, and her vision became blurred.

"It's the incense..." Lin Ruoxuan realized that she had been tricked, but it was too late.

Her body fell forward weakly and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

Several men in black quickly appeared from the darkness and carried her away silently, as if everything was under their control.

At the same time, in another secret room of Ping An Pawnshop.

Lord Wu sat leisurely on a low couch, holding a teacup in his hand, looking calm.

He already had a plan in mind, knowing that once Lin Ruoxuan fell into their hands, Gu Nanyuan would surely come quickly.

Once Gu Nanyuan appears here, it will be the critical moment for them to control the situation.

However, time passed little by little, and Gu Nanyuan still did not show up.

Lord Wu frowned slightly and began to feel a little uneasy.

His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop as he waited anxiously.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Lord Wu looked up suddenly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He thought it was Gu Nanyuan who had arrived, and he was secretly pleased with himself.

However, when the door was pushed open, the person who appeared in front of him was not Gu Nanyuan, but Qi Zeshen.

Qi Zeshen was dressed in black, had a calm expression, and walked into the house with calm steps.

Lord Wu frowned slightly, the smile on his face froze, and he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Master Qi?" Master Wu tried to maintain a smile on his face, but his tone was already alert. "Why are you here?"

Qi Zeshen smiled coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Master Wu, aren't you waiting for me?"

Lord Wu's face changed and alarm bells rang in his heart. He immediately realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap.

He stood up quickly, his tone a little hurried: "Master Qi, you misunderstood, I just asked Miss Lin to reconcile."

Qi Zeshen snorted coldly, his tone revealing a hint of disdain: "Talk about peace? Sir Wu, you have put three lives at risk. I am here today to take you back for investigation."

Lord Wu's face turned pale in an instant, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He hurriedly explained: "Master Qi, you misunderstood! I just want to resolve the conflict with the Lin family. The matter is not that serious-"

"Whether you did it or not, we will naturally find out when we go to the Dali Temple." Qi Zeshen said coldly, not moved at all.

He waved his hand, and the detectives escorted Lord Wu out.

On the other side, Lin Ruoxuan woke up on the road.

After she found out it was the incense, she controlled herself and tried not to breathe, so she was not deeply addicted.

Lin Ruoxuan could feel herself being thrown onto the bed, but she suppressed her discomfort and closed her eyes pretending to be unconscious.

Although her heart was beating violently, her breathing remained steady.

I heard the sound of a door closing with a creak, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps gradually moving away, and the room fell into a brief silence.

She slowly opened her eyes and quickly glanced around to make sure no one was in the room.

The lights all around were dim, and the dim environment exacerbated the depressing atmosphere.

Lin Ruoxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner tension.

She carefully took the dagger from her sleeve and pushed the sharp blade slightly away. The cold touch of the blade made her feel a little reassured.

She knew that the next step would determine life or death.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside, gradually approaching.

Lin Ruoxuan immediately closed her eyes again, clenched the dagger tightly in her hand, and hid it at her side.

She knew that Zhao Cezhi was about to come, and the moment she had been waiting for was finally coming.

In my mind, past memories came flooding back like a tide, recalling the pain of my previous life.

She kept pestering Zhao Cezhi, and her love turned into obsession. In the end, he desperately possessed her, tortured her, humiliated her, and even killed her with his own hands.

The hatred and humiliation in her eyes at the moment before her death are still deeply engraved in her soul.

In this life, she swore that no matter what the cost, even if it cost her life, she would take Zhao Cezhi's life.

The door was gently pushed open and footsteps were heard again.

Zhao Cezhi walked in, his eyes fixed on the "sleeping" Lin Ruoxuan.

The dim light shone on her face, making her look particularly quiet.

There was love flashing in Zhao Cezhi's eyes. When he saw her sleeping, the emotions hidden deep in his heart finally burst out.

He slowly approached the bed, looked down at Lin Ruoxuan's face, and there was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

He reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek, his voice low and trembling with an undisguised tremor: "Ruoxuan..."

Lin Ruoxuan felt his approaching breath and sneered in her heart, but still maintained the illusion of being asleep.

Her fingers were tightly clenched around the dagger, ready to strike at any moment.

Zhao Cezhi's voice was particularly clear in the silent room, with a deep sense of remorse and pain: "In my last life, I thought the person I loved was Ruoting, and I always thought that my obsession with her was real love. But when you died and left me, I realized... the one who really haunted me was you, Ruoxuan."

His voice was low, with unprecedented tenderness and regret in his tone: "How foolish I was. I didn't even realize that the one I loved in my heart was you. It wasn't until you died that I realized how important you were to me."

Zhao Cezhi's hand gently stroked Lin Ruoxuan's eyebrows, and his voice became more and more sad: "I know that all this is irreversible. Ruoxuan, I just hope... I hope you can understand that I never really wanted to hurt you. I love you."
