The autumn rain in Huacheng was chilly, knocking fine water marks on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the top floor duplex of Dijing Mansion.

Wang Xinyi leaned back on a custom-made Italian leather sofa, with her tablet computer playing a video of Pei Luonan putting a coat on Gu Fanxing. Every gentle movement of the man was like a steel needle piercing her heart.

Her nails dug deep into the leather of the sofa, leaving hideous crescent-shaped marks on the million-dollar furniture. Suddenly, she grabbed the chilled champagne glass and smashed it hard against the TV wall. The crisp sound of the crystal glass exploding startled Assistant Chen so much that he trembled all over.

"Assistant Chen!" Her voice was filled with unremovable jealousy, and the tail end of her tone trembled from excessive effort. "Contact the administrator of the 'Night Hunter' forum immediately. I want to issue a special bounty.

Remember, use fifteen anonymous mailboxes to send in turn, with an interval of seven minutes between each email, and then transfer through proxy servers in six different countries.

The red wine flowed down her silk nightgown, staining the expensive Persian carpet with a dazzling dark red. "Gu Fanxing must disappear on the way to Country S. I don't want her to even touch the shadow of Pei Luonan's clothes! He is mine, from his hair to his soul!"

Assistant Chen took notes hurriedly, sweat beading on his forehead.

After working under Wang Xinyi for three years, she was already familiar with this crazy pattern.

Ever since she last met Pei Luonan at the signing of the contract, Wang Xinyi had become possessed and lost her mind. Her possessiveness towards Pei Luonan had reached a frenzied level. Thinking of Pei Luonan's indifference and disdain towards her, while his gentleness and doting towards Gu Fanxing, she was like an angry lion, doing things without considering the consequences.

Therefore, during this period, the assistant was very careful in everything he did, fearing that he would lose his job if he was not careful.

Even the group's employees jokingly called this young lady a "rose with thorns"—dazzling yet untouchable. A few days ago, the former secretary was transferred to the North Country branch after delivering the wrong iced American coffee. This was just the tip of the iceberg of Wang Xinyi's many spoiled behaviors.

"Mr. Wang, do we need to prepare multiple task descriptions? This will prevent the forum's AI from detecting repetitive patterns." Assistant Chen spoke cautiously, trying to find a glimmer of hope in the storm.

"You have some sense."

Wang Xinyi sneered and kicked over the crystal glass fragments on the floor as she walked towards the wine cabinet.

She took out a 1982 Lafite, and the bottle made a crisp sound when it hit the wall of the glass.

"Prepare five different scripts, encrypting the core content with Morse code. Also, have the technical department set up a temporary dark web server that automatically destroys data after each communication."

She tilted her head back and drank the wine in the glass. Her Adam's apple rolled as she remembered what Pei Luonan said when he rejected her, "We are not suitable." Her nails dug deep into her palms, and blood seeped into the lines on her palms.

"Pei Luonan can only be mine, no one can take him away! From the first moment I saw him, he should be engraved with my mark!"

Twenty minutes later, the notification tone of the encrypted communication software sounded in the study.

Wang Xinyi wore black silk gloves and her fingertips tapped the keyboard frantically. The blue light from the screen reflected her distorted face.

Not only did she attach recent photos of Gu Fanxing and a detailed schedule, she even marked the surveillance blind spots along his jogging route. She also recorded in detail the location of the pancake stall where Gu Fanxing bought breakfast every day and his conversation habits with the stall owner.

To ensure the accuracy of the information, she secretly arranged three private detectives to work in three shifts to track and film for a week, during which she also personally reviewed more than 20 surveillance videos.

She suddenly opened the safe and took out a leather diary. The name "Pei Luonan" was densely written on the title page, and every word was scratched on the paper due to excessive force.

"On x month x day, 201X, he and Gu Fanxing said goodbye at the entrance of the research institute, and he actually smiled at her. That smile should have been mine! On x month x day, 201X, he gave Gu Fanxing coffee. I want all coffee shops to stop selling coffee to her!" Turning to the latest page, she wrote frantically with a red pen: "I want Gu Fanxing to disappear from his world, so that he can only look at me and rely on me!"

"Why does this bitch deserve Pei Luonan's kindness?" She suddenly threw the tablet against the wall, and the screen shattered.

Recalling how Pei Luonan ignored her when they first met, Wang Xinyi grabbed the paper cutter on the table and slashed at Gu Fanxing's photo. Each scratch was accompanied by her suppressed roar, "I want you to disappear completely, so that Pei Luonan can only look at me and belong to me!"

Three days later, late at night, in the underground fighting arena in the west of the city.

Wang Xinyi wore a black wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses that covered most of her face. Behind her were four burly bodyguards, each of whom had undergone a strict loyalty test - their families were arranged to work in the Wang family's industries, which was Wang Xinyi's way of ensuring loyalty.

When she stepped into the VIP box, the sound of bones cracking from the boxing ring reminded her of Pei Luonan's tone when he rejected her, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Brother Hu, long time no see."

She raised her glass to the bearded man who was playing with a butterfly knife in the shadows. The sound of the crystal glasses colliding was as crisp as breaking bones.

"I heard that you are very experienced in 'handling accidents'? I want Gu Fanxing to collapse completely before boarding the plane, leaving Pei Luonan no chance to save her. He is my private property, and no one else can covet him!"

Brother Hu blew out a smoke ring, the blade at his fingertips flashed with a cold light, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

There have been rumors on the street that in order to get a limited edition high-end fashion, Wang Xinyi could cause an "accidental fire" in a competitor's studio overnight; now, for the sake of a man, she will do anything to get it.

"Miss Wang is well-informed. However, Huacheng is not the North Country, and there are some rules..."

"rule?"

Wang Xinyi threw out a Swiss bank draft, and the seven zeros glowed eerily under the emergency light.

"I want her to disappear from Pei Luonan's world! Food poisoning is too old-fashioned, and car accidents are easy to leave clues—"

She suddenly leaned in closer, and the cool scent of Chanel No. 5 mixed with the smell of blood.

"Have you heard about what happens if someone who is allergic to penicillin accidentally takes something containing penicillin? Isn't it a fatal and magical experience?" There was a sinister glint in her eyes.

Brother Hu stared at the promissory note, his Adam's apple bouncing twice. "This job is too risky. I need to pay more. 300 million after the job is done..."

Wang Xinyi's pupils shrank slightly, then she smiled and said, "As expected of an old fox who has been in the underworld for twenty years."

"If you dare to play tricks, this money will become a letter of denunciation. Remember, Gu Fanxing must fall." Her ruthlessness and decisiveness shocked the thugs present. They had never seen such a paranoid possessiveness.

To ensure that everything was foolproof, she asked Assistant Chen to register five shell companies and transfer funds between more than a dozen accounts around the world through virtual currency.

When Assistant Chen reported Brother Hu's plan late at night, Wang Xinyi held her chin with her hand, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "Three-pronged approach? Very good."

She suddenly grabbed the photo of Gu Fanxing on the table, lit it with a lighter, and watched the flames devour the face.

"Let her struggle in excruciating pain until..."

She laughed madly, the flames illuminating her distorted face.

"Pei Luonan, you will eventually understand that only I am worthy of standing by your side! You are mine, forever!"

She stood up and opened the curtains, looking at Huacheng in the rain, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Pei Luonan, in this game, I not only want to have you, but also...

Gu Fanxing will be your eternal regret, and I will be your only salvation.

You will thank me for letting you know who is your destiny in this way!

At this moment, if the pedestrians on the street below looked up at the window emitting cold light, they might mistake the silhouette for a witch who controlled thunder and lightning - arrogant, cruel, and domineering.

In order to satisfy his almost pathological possessiveness, he did not hesitate to drag the entire world into darkness, just to completely trap Pei Luonan in the love web he had woven.
