After I died, I became the white moonlight of the crazy villain.

Xu Qing's smile gradually faded as she comforted me, saying, "Since Ge Zeyu went, he must have made thorough preparations. Don't worry too much. Now focus all your energy on the intelligent chip competition."

I sighed, knowing that this was the only way I could comfort myself for now, and stopped talking.

For the next period of time, I stayed at the company to handle company affairs, and Su Jiayi's research gradually made new progress, with good news coming in every day.

As the date drew closer, Su Jiayi and I decided to travel together to the neighboring city to participate in this smart chip competition.

My plane ticket was booked, and tomorrow was the departure day. I was about to check my luggage when my phone suddenly rang. I glanced at it and saw that it was a message that my ticket had been cancelled.

Seeing this news, I was a little confused, so I quickly called the airline. The customer service representative told me that due to some unforeseen circumstances, the flight to the neighboring country had been temporarily canceled.

After hanging up the phone, I was still deeply puzzled. This sudden change didn't seem like a coincidence; rather, it seemed like someone was deliberately making things difficult for me.

I immediately messaged Su Jiayi to ask if there was a problem with his flight, and the result was the same; his flight had also encountered the same problem.

Su Jiayi also guessed that someone was behind this. He said in a serious tone, "The newly developed smart chip is still in my hands. I'm worried about its safety, so I want to entrust it to you for safekeeping."

I hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Everyone knew that Su Jiayi would be participating in the competition and that the focus would be on him. Entrusting him to me for safekeeping would avoid some trouble.

I went to the company to pick up my things. As soon as I got home, I saw a car that looked somewhat familiar. The door opened, and Fu Xinyi got out.

I instinctively gripped the bag tightly, but I quickly relaxed. Fu Xinyi might not even know that the chip was with me.

"What are you doing here?" I didn't want to get entangled with him any longer, so I went straight to the point. "You're not welcome here."

After I finished speaking, I was about to leave when I heard Fu Xinyi's voice behind me, "You said Ge Zeyu went abroad, and the inspection team is coming tomorrow. What will happen?"

I paused, took a deep breath, and said to him, "Come in!"

He followed me into the villa. At that moment, the car door opened again, and Bian Jiahui eagerly stepped out, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at me. "I want to go too!"

"Little sister, you shouldn't mind having me too, right?"

Bian Jiahui was afraid that I still had feelings for Fu Xinyi. Although I didn't have such thoughts and didn't need to prove anything, Bian Jiahui's presence would prevent Fu Xinyi from doing anything rash.

"I don't mind!" I said, opening the villa's front door.

After the two people entered, I didn't have much patience to ask, "What do you want to do? What are your conditions?"

Fu Xinyi sat on the sofa, a smile playing on her lips, and said, "I'm a guest, after all. Can't you even offer me a glass of water?"

"There's no need!" I retorted without hesitation. I already felt extremely disgusted by being in the same space with the two of them. "We're not that close. If you hadn't mentioned Ge Zeyu, I wouldn't have let you in."

Fu Xinyi's smile faded, and his gaze toward me became unusually deep. Then he chuckled and said, "Someone who might not even come back alive, and you still think about him so much? I never noticed when we were together that you had such deep feelings for him."

"Don't forget, the person he was with before wasn't you. Don't let it turn out to be just another one-sided wishful thinking on your part."

I clenched my fists, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger rising in my heart. Of course, I understood what he meant. He was reminding me that in my past life, Ge Zeyu almost married a woman.

"Fu Xinyi, you don't need to worry about my affairs anymore. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

I got up to see him off, but Fu Xinyi didn't. He just looked up at me with a probing gaze. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I want a chip!"

"Impossible!" I had probably guessed his intentions, but I didn't expect him to be this shameless. The smart chip was a crucial bargaining chip for Su Jiayi and me to turn things around. It was just a piece of information that might not be able to be kept secret, and he wanted to use it as a bargaining chip.

"You can't possibly keep Ge Zeyu's trip abroad a secret on your own. It's only a matter of time before the inspection team finds out, so I refuse your offer."

After I finished speaking, I gestured for him to leave. Fu Xinyi stood up and blocked my way, then turned to look at Bian Jiahui, who was standing to the side, and said, "There are some things we should talk about alone!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, I nodded in agreement. The two of us went upstairs and entered the room. Fu Xinyi bluntly said, "Su Jiayi must have handed the chip over to you. I was also involved in the development of this chip in my previous life. Even if you are unwilling to hand over the chip now, I can manufacture it myself."

I couldn't help but sneer, but instead of exposing his lie, I asked in a questioning tone, "Since you're so confident, why are you wasting your breath talking to me here? You know perfectly well whose ability this chip is. In your previous life, you were just lucky to have my help and Su Jiayi's assistance."

"In reality, you've always been a stubborn, self-willed person with no real ability but an inflated ego. You're not some so-called genius in intelligent machinery. You only achieved that brief period of glory at school because of your joint research with Su Jiayi in your previous life, and in the end, you were brought down from your pedestal."

Having been given a second chance at life, I don't want to be Fu Xinyi's stepping stone, but he insists on clinging to me, wanting to prove himself in front of everyone, which only makes him more and more ridiculous in the end.

“If you came up here just to tell me this, you can leave now.”

Fu Xinyi's face suddenly darkened, and his gaze toward me grew increasingly sinister. He suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm, dragging me in front of him. "I'll say it again, hand over the chip, or neither you nor Su Jiayi will have a good life. Ge Zeyu went abroad, and I've made thorough preparations. He won't be coming back alive."

His words startled me, and I instinctively asked, "What did you do to him? The inspection team is still in the country. Aren't you afraid they'll find out?"

"He died abroad, what does that have to do with me?" Fu Xinyi feigned innocence, his smile full of provocation. Then he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "If you beg me, I might consider letting him go."
