Since that day will come sooner or later, we might as well make it come sooner.

Liang Qing gave Xue Fanxing a deep look, and then looked at Governor Qin.

His eyes were downcast as he cried, and tears streamed down his cheeks and onto the ground.

“Those are disgusting tears,” she said with disgust.

Upon hearing this, even Xue Fanxing, who had been maintaining her composure, could no longer contain herself. In fact, she had been holding back all along, and her doubts were no less than those of Qin Zhoumu.

"Liang Qing, have you gone mad? How could you say that?" She frowned, grabbed Liang Qing's wrist, and spoke with a tone of advice.

Liang Qing snorted coldly, her expression full of contempt, and flung her hand away, saying, "My affairs are none of your business."

"Liang Qing, what nonsense are you spouting?" Xue Fanxing withdrew her hand, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

“I’m not talking nonsense, I’m perfectly clear-headed.” Liang Qing glanced at her and added calmly, “You don’t need to make excuses for me; this is just the kind of person I am.”

Xue Fanxing opened her mouth and then closed it, reached out her hand and then withdrew it, finally saying nothing, her gaze remaining fixed on Liang Qing's face.

She remained silent, but Governor Qin could not stay silent. He hastily wiped away his tears, fixed Liang Qing with a hateful gaze, and cursed viciously, "People like you will not have a good end. Those who manipulate others will one day be manipulated themselves. You will pay the price for what you have done!"

After saying that, he stormed off. Before leaving, he looked at Xue Fanxing, who was standing there dumbfounded, and couldn't help but curse, "What are you still doing here? Are you here to be humiliated?"

Xue Fanxing watched his departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Xue Fanxing already knew in her heart that Liang Qing had really done those things, but she didn't understand why Liang Qing did them. Liang Qing was clearly such a respectful person.

What exactly happened in the past two years?

Liang Qing, who was as cold as ice, was obviously not going to answer her. She then looked at Yan Su, who was standing silently to the side, and his expression was just as unfathomable to her.

Liang Qing suddenly sneered and mocked, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

This was the first time Xue Fanxing had ever seen Liang Qing act so cold and arrogant, but no matter what she did, she couldn't convince herself that Liang Qing was that kind of person.

She has known Liang Qing for over a decade, from elementary school until now. How could she possibly believe that all of this has been a facade by Liang Qing?

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar friend in front of her, Xue Fanxing was speechless, both blaming her and unable to forgive her.

The words "blame" and "forgiveness" startled Xue Fanxing. Did she tacitly agree to Liang Qing's "guilt"?

No, Xue Fanxing thought, she couldn't "sentence" Liang Qing based on just a few words without knowing the full story.

She absolutely has to find out what's going on.

Liang Qing appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly anxious.

At this moment, she desperately hoped that Xue Fanxing would leave this place like Governor Qin, and hate her just as much.

She no longer wanted to involve people unrelated to the mission; Yan Su was a ticking time bomb.

She knew that the more people around her protected her, the angrier Yan Su would become.

Because he hates people like her, and he also hates her supporters.

Moreover, to be honest, she and Xue Fanxing are from two different worlds, and Xue Fanxing should not be tainted by her filth.

So, even though I was happy with her, I had to give her up.

It's for her own good, and also for my own good.

The longer she stayed by her side, the more she began to waver in her current beliefs.

Liang Qing believes that people can only choose one path to take, especially in terms of their mental state.

When one is torn between two paths, one is bound to experience pain.

She hates pain, whether mental or physical.

After completing the task, she will receive money, fame, longevity, and all worldly things that will relieve her physical pain.

Once the mission is completed and she loses all her memories, her mental anguish will cease, and she will be freed.

Liang Qing observed Xue Fanxing's expression; she was clearly struggling to hold back, her face turning blue.

Seemingly noticing Liang Qing's gaze, Xue Fanxing snapped out of her reverie and looked at her.

Liang Qing coldly looked away, already prepared herself for the woman to scold her like Qin Zhoumu had done.

But Xue Fanxing didn't. She just said seriously, "Liang Qing, I will let you know that I am not your playmate."

After saying that, she turned and went down the stairs.

Yan Su walked over to the stairs, and only after seeing that she had indeed left did he slowly walk to Liang Qing's side. "What are you doing?"

Liang glanced at him sideways, then laughed dismissively, "Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

Yan Su hesitated for a moment, then laughed, "Indeed."

The two people on the stairs were both laughing, but there was no laughter, and there was no smile in each other's eyes.

...

Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, Governor Qin forgot his afternoon classes and ran straight home.

As soon as she entered the house, Kang Ruoxi looked at him in surprise, "Governor, don't you have classes this afternoon?"

After she mentioned it, Qin Zhoumu remembered his afternoon class, but he simply couldn't concentrate on it at all.

He tried to remain calm and said to Kang Ruoxi, "Mom, I'm not feeling well. Could you ask for leave for me?"

Kang Ruoxi touched his face with concern, "Where do you feel unwell?"

Governor Qin rubbed his forehead and said in a low voice, "I feel a little dizzy, but I'll take some medicine and I'll be fine."

Kang Ruoxi asked him a few more questions, then planned to call him to ask for leave.

During this time, she thought of Qin Zhouyu, who had also recently gone home, and smiled helplessly, "You two brothers are really something, choosing the same day to skip class."

Just as Qin Zhoumu was about to go upstairs, he heard this and turned back, anxiously asking, "Mom, you said my brother came back?"

“Yes,” Kang Ruoxi said, turning her back to him as she went to the sofa to get her phone, not seeing his expression. “About half an hour ago, I came back, went upstairs to get my car keys, and then left.”

Did your brother say where he was going?

“I asked him a question, and he said he was going to get something from the house where he and his grandfather used to live.”

"Get what?"

Kang Ruoxi recalled, "I don't know, but judging from his hurried manner, it must be something important."

After saying that, she took the phone and turned around to ask Qin Zhoumu why he was asking these questions, but Qin Zhoumu had already disappeared.

……

Governor Qin rushed to the front of the Qin family's old house and immediately rang the doorbell as soon as he got out of the car.

But for some reason, the doorbell didn't ring.

He called out twice more, but no one answered.

Could it be that my brother didn't come here or has already left?

Just as he was thinking this, he saw light coming from a window on the second floor of the villa.

"My brother is still here," he thought.

But the doorbell was broken, and his voice couldn't carry that far.

In the end, he chose to bypass the Great Firewall.
