Who moved her body?

Chapter 77 This Time He's Really Dead

"I'm sorry." Guan Jie took Song Xiaoxian's hand and stroked her scar.

So many scars, how much pain must it have caused!

"I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'll take good care of you from now on. Let's forget the pain of the past few years and start over. I love you, Xiaoxian."

Song Xiaoxian threw herself into Guan Jie's arms. "I know you can't bring yourself to kill Zeng Meiqian to avenge me. As long as you marry Zeng Meiqian, I'll take revenge myself."

Guan Jie shook his head. "Xiao Xian, if you kill Zeng Meiqian and go to jail, what use is the Zeng family's assets to me? Be good, let's let go of the past. As long as we're both alive, nothing else matters."

"Fool, of course I won't do it myself." Song Xiaoxian said cleverly, her eyes darting around. "Huangyan Island is investigating who stole my information, and Situ Feng is determined to kill this person who knows the truth. If someone tells Situ Feng that this person is Zeng Meiqian, do you think even if we don't do anything, Situ Feng won't let Zeng Meiqian live for long?"

"How do you know about Desolate Rock Island and Situ Feng?"

"Me?" Song Xiaoxian avoided Guan Jie's eyes.

Answer me!

"Yes, yes, Xu Haiyang..."

Under Guan Jie's persistent questioning, Song Xiaoxian revealed what happened back then.

Six years ago, Xu Haiyang went to Senhai City for a trip and met Yao Yao through a friend's introduction. At that time, Yao Yao told Xu Haiyang about Song Xiaoxian being threatened and intimidated by Zeng Meiqian, hoping that Xu Haiyang, a rich second-generation, could help Song Xiaoxian.

However, before Xu Haiyang could make a move, Yao Yao was hit and killed. After Yao Yao's death, Song Xiaoxian dared not go anywhere or look for anyone. Finally, she remembered Xu Haiyang and went to find him. Xu Haiyang found Song Xiaoxian a place to stay and promised to give her money every month, but the only condition was that Song Xiaoxian could not appear in the public eye for the time being.

Having been quite frightened at the time, Song Xiaoxian naturally agreed, thinking that after a while she would leave Senhai City, then contact Guan Jie, and together they would find a small place where no one knew them and live out their lives.

After learning Yao Yao's blood type, Xu Haiyang immediately notified Situ Feng. In this way, Yao Yao's body was taken away, and she became Shan Shan, whom Guan Jie later met.

Guan Jie gave a wry smile. "Actually, my meeting with Shan Shan and Xu Haiyang was all orchestrated by him, wasn't it?"

Song Xiaoxian nodded. "You being with Zeng Meiqian drove me crazy, so I agreed to Xu Haiyang's plan and told him about what happened between us. He had someone secretly tamper with the chip in Yao Yao's head, so after she saw you, she thought she had met her former lover..."

"You killed Yao Yao, do you know that?"

"I only wanted to lure you to the desolate island, I never expected it would lead to Yao Yao's death." Song Xiaoxian said righteously, "Yao Yao is already dead, if anyone was harmed, it was Zeng Meiqian who killed her."

Guan Jie took a step back, looking at Song Xiaoxian with disappointment. "What was your purpose in leading me to the desolate rock island?"

"Xu Haiyang wanted to use your love for me to kill Situ Feng, but he didn't expect Situ Feng to let him into Diruo's core department, so the plan was suspended."

"What a convenient halt to the plan. If it weren't for Situ Feng's decision, I probably would have killed him already, and the reason for killing him would have been to avenge you." Guan Jie smiled bitterly again. "I've been such a fool. Only today have I realized that I was the only fool from beginning to end."

"You," Guan Jie asked Song Xiaoxian, "if I hadn't been trying to commit suicide, would you still not have shown up?"

"I'll appear at the right time." Song Xiaoxian nodded. "I know you'll blame me when you find out the truth, but you love me, and I believe your love for me will surpass everything."

"Yes, I love you, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you." Guan Jie nodded vigorously, his back teeth grinding together. "I love you, I love you, hehe..."

"I know this is hard for you to accept, but you have to think about me too. What could I have done back then?"

"You have countless opportunities to contact me, you know, and I will protect you with my life."

"I had thought about it, but do you know how much I hated myself when I saw you and Zeng Meiqian so happy together? So when Xu Haiyang said he would send us abroad and give us some money after the plan was completed, I agreed."

"Now we can go abroad and have Buyi get us new identities. I have money, not much, but enough for us to live on for a while. We'll earn money to support ourselves and continue living the life we ​​always wanted."

"No, it's too late." Song Xiaoxian shook her head. "I want revenge. If you still love me, marry Zeng Meiqian. Zeng Meiqian will die after the marriage, and we will have lots and lots of money. Then we can go anywhere and do whatever we like."

"The Song Xiaoxian I know would never take advantage of someone else's ill-gotten gains, much less harm others!"

"Jay, that wasn't ill-gotten gains; it's compensation for us."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxian, I won't do that." Guan Jie turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Can't you do it for me too?"

Guan Jie didn't say anything and walked downstairs.

A loud bang was heard, and a car parked downstairs flashed its alarm lights. People found a mangled female corpse in the dent in the roof of the car.

The red trench coat was stained with blood in an eerie way, and the blood flowing down the roof of the car was like countless streams returning to the earth.

Guan Jie looked up and saw a ghostly figure flash across the rooftop, resembling a dark shadow.

The crowd quickly surrounded the car that was flashing its lights and honking incessantly. Guan Jie stood there like a hindrance, being pushed and shoved by the surging crowd.

A few minutes later, police sirens blared in the distance, and the crowd took photos and livestreamed the scene, creating a spectacle reminiscent of watching a popular celebrity walk the red carpet.

Guan Jie only snapped out of his panic when the police began to maintain order. "Song Xiaoxian is dead!"

A long, slender, fair hand grabbed Guan Jie's arm. "Come with me."

Guan Jie did not refuse and got into the car with Su Yinren, leaving the scene.

"Song Xiaoxian is dead. She fell from the building." Guan Jie leaned back on the pillow and said as if in a dream.

"Miss Song is very smart. She has kept it well hidden for the past five years. If she hadn't wanted so much, she would have continued to live."

"Situ Feng killed him, didn't he?"

Su Yinren nodded. "The person who took away the files from back then wasn't Zeng Meiqian, but Song Xiaoxian. I just found out, and I think Situ Feng must know it too."

"What will happen to her?" Guan Jie asked.

"Miss Song? Oh, a person who has died once won't die a second time. Tomorrow, Yao Yao's family will receive news of her death; the cause of death will naturally be suicide by jumping off a building. This ending is better for both of us, isn't it?"

"Maybe." Guan Jie took a deep breath. "I never expected Xiao Xian to end up like this. Maybe I would have been better off not knowing the truth. I loved her so much, but in her eyes, my love couldn't compare to anything. If she had told me that Zeng Meiqian had contacted her, things might not be the way they are today."

"History doesn't allow for 'what ifs,' and we can't go back to the past. But every tomorrow is a new beginning, and the most important thing is that we're still alive. By the way, Zeng Meiqian accepted my proposal, and the wedding will be held on your originally planned date."

"Congratulations on getting your wish." Guan Jie glanced at the calm Su Yinren. "Do you love her?"

Su Yinren shrugged. "Love? For us, there's only marriage that's suitable or unsuitable."

Have you ever been in love?

"Love is nothing but a deceptive thing; it doesn't exist at all." Su Yinren looked at Guan Jie with sympathy. "Liking someone is nothing more than lust at first sight, being inseparable from them is equated with habit, and talk of protecting and caring for them is nothing more than possessiveness, like seeing a beautiful flower and being unable to resist picking it. This world is really strange; people without money desperately search for love, while those with money keep chasing wealth."

"You don't understand what love is."

"I don't understand. I was taught from a young age not to pursue things that don't exist; things that are illusory aren't worth wasting time on. Love is always celebrated with tragic endings; what you're pursuing is nothing more than some kind of mental stimulation. Do you really love Song Xiaoxian?"

"We live in different environments, you don't understand that kind of mutual dependence."

"You're stupid, that's why you were kept in the dark by two women." Su Yinren looked at Guan Jie with pity again. "Song Xiaoxian could have survived. She chose to keep it from you because she simply didn't believe you would stay with her if it meant money. Zeng Meiqian could have avoided killing, but she overestimated Song Xiaoxian's love for you. The rich should pursue wealth, just like my marriage to Zeng Meiqian, which both families supported. Love, this fantastical thing, isn't a game for the rich, just like Song Xiaoxian shouldn't have been tempted by greed."

"Situ Feng will kill me too," Guan Jie said.

"He's not available right now; he's busy cleaning house."

Guan Jie chuckled. "Xu Haiyang has schemed for so long, only to end up a prisoner?"

"Don't entertain thoughts you shouldn't have. Since he wants to take your place, he must accept the consequences of failure. Where should I send you?"

"Stop at the traffic light ahead, I want to walk a bit."

Su Yinren put Guan Jie down. "I almost forgot what Situ Feng said. He asked me to tell you that 'those who know the truth either die or stay on the desolate island.'"

Guan Jie smiled and waved to Su Yinren, "Congratulations on your marriage to Zeng Meiqian!"
