My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Gu Yao has changed so much.

She's changed so much that I hardly recognize her anymore.

Aunt Gu has only been dead for a short time.

Logically speaking, Gu Yao should still be grieving for Aunt Gu's passing at this time.

But I discovered that Gu Yao was only verbally sad.

Her mind was preoccupied with other things.

Gu Yao even acted out of character.

I fought with Lin Xia in public for her sake.

Her actions made me increasingly confused.

I don't understand why Gu Yao suddenly changed like this.

After returning to Linxia's company.

Actually, we have nothing to do and are not in a hurry to go to work.

But I just wanted an excuse to escape from there.

Lin Xia noticed the turmoil in my mind.

She poured me a glass of water, and we sat in her office and chatted.

"Lu Yi, what are your plans next?"

I gradually discovered.

I'm facing more and more things now.

I didn't actively seek out trouble.

Instead, one thing after another got stuck with me.

I started to sort things out one by one.

"The first thing I need to do is find Zhao Ming, bring him back to justice, and avenge Aunt Gu!"

"The second thing is about Xinglu Company, which was bankrupted by Zhao Ming. It is an inheritance left to me by my father. I can't just watch it perish. I will definitely save it."

"The third thing is that Gu Yao seems like a different person lately. I suspect that she may have suffered a great deal of emotional distress because of Aunt Gu's death. So, Lin Xia, do you think I should take her to see a psychiatrist?"

Lin Xia was slightly taken aback. Faced with my question, she did not answer immediately, but pondered.

This quiet scene suddenly made me feel a little dazed.

It seems that Zhao Ming said the same thing to Gu Yao back then.

Zhao Ming suspects I have mental problems.

Then I asked Gu Yao if she wanted to send me to a mental hospital.

Gu Yao finally agreed.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a little panicked.

At that moment, I felt like I had become Zhao Ming.

Will Lin Xia give the same answer as Gu Yao?

after awhile.

Lin Xia said, "In my opinion, Gu Yao's problem is not a mental illness; she is just too competitive."

“She used to be able to boss you around and order you around at will, but now she finds that she can’t command you anymore, so this has caused her a huge psychological gap.”

"I suggest you let her calm down a bit, slowly accept reality, and recognize her mistakes."

"As for taking her to see a psychiatrist, I don't think it's necessary. Doing so would make her look mentally ill even if she wasn't."

Lin Xia's words suddenly made me feel very at ease and warm.

Because she didn't say the same cold words that Gu Yao used back then.

Although Lin Xia and Gu Yao don't get along.

Moreover, they are mostly arguing when they meet.

However, Lin Xia did not take Gu Yao to see a psychiatrist even though I suggested it.

She took the opportunity to kick him while he was down.

Instead, they carefully analyzed why Gu Yao had become so crazy.

"Well, I listen to you."

I decided to do as Lin Xia suggested.

I'll ignore Gu Yao for now.

During this time, I also tried to avoid her as much as possible, letting her calm down and think things through on her own.

Suddenly, Lin Xia asked, "Do you have a solution for Liu Chaoyang's matter?"

I didn't expect this to happen. My head is fine, but just thinking about it gives me a headache.

I said helplessly, "Zhao Ming stole my signature and used it to sign a business contract with Liu Chaoyang. In the end, Zhao Ming ran away with the money, and Liu Chaoyang's goods have reportedly been delivered."

"Now that Liu Chaoyang can't find Zhao Ming, he comes to me for money because I have always been the owner of Xinglu Company, and that has never changed."

Lin Xia looked at me with a serious expression: "Have you seen the goods?"

I shook my head: "I didn't see that. When I went to Xinglu Company, everything of value inside had been taken away."

Lin Xia was, after all, a woman of great experience and knowledge.

She immediately offered another assessment.

"As far as I know, although Liu Chaoyang is in the sand and gravel business, he has never been clean and has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds."

"There is another possibility: Liu Chaoyang saw that Zhao Ming had run away, and he deliberately came to you with a fabricated contract to extort money from you."

Lin Xia offered another explanation.

It undoubtedly provided me with new ideas.

However, I thought of the time at the fast food restaurant.

Liu Chaoyang's humble, pleading manner.

I felt that Liu Chaoyang wasn't trying to extort money from me with a fabricated contract.

People like Liu Chaoyang are already established and successful individuals.

They usually value face and dignity more than their lives!

There are only times when I'm broke.

Only then would they abandon their dignity and kneel down, groveling before them.

So I told Lin Xia my thoughts.

Lin Xia retorted, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Lu Yi, human nature is complex. Even a cunning old fox like Liu Chaoyang fell into the hands of a young upstart like Zhao Ming. They're all a bunch of madmen who would risk their lives for profit. What wouldn't they do?"

Lin Xia's words served as a stark warning to me once again.

Don't underestimate your opponent's limits!

To my surprise, Lin Xia's warning to me came true very soon.

I chatted with Lin Xia for an entire afternoon.

By evening.

Lin Xia had to attend a meeting, so she left first.

As for me, I didn't have anything to do.

In addition, there have been a lot of upsetting things happening lately.

This made me realize more and more.

If sometimes you can't persuade someone with reason, then you have no choice but to resort to physical force.

So I went straight to the gym to work out.

Strive to build up your physique and strength.

The gym closes at 9 p.m.

I was covered in sweat and my muscles ached from the workout, but I felt incredibly refreshed.

After leaving the gym.

I walked alone into the deserted, shady path.

However, just as I was playing on my phone...

Suddenly I heard a rustling sound behind me.

I immediately became alert.

But I didn't turn around immediately, so as not to reveal that I knew someone was following me.

I took out my phone and started playing with it while also opening the selfie camera.

Sure enough, I noticed two people following me.

I quickened my pace, trying to run to the side of the road where there were more people; those two people definitely wouldn't dare to lay a hand on me.

However, they noticed that I quickened my pace.

The two of them immediately took action.

They also quickened their pace.

They even started running at the very end.

Seeing this, I immediately tried to run away.

But it was too late.

The two of them had blocked me from both the front and the back.

Squeeze it!

Suddenly, I saw two cold glints in the darkness.

These two people were even holding knives!

My heart was pounding, and I became extremely nervous.

But I still tried my best to control my emotions.

Calmly ask yourself, "Who are you? Are you robbing me?"

"I can give you money, put your knives away, and we can talk this out."

But it's clear the other party wasn't after money.

They were wearing black masks and called out my name.

"Lu Yi, it's only right to pay back debts!"

As soon as these words came out.

I understood immediately.

These two people were sent by Liu Chaoyang!

Liu Chaoyang isn't even willing to give me a single day.

Is he planning to drive me to my death?
