Li Shiqing tried to stop her, but she couldn't.

All they could do was watch Li Yunqi's angry departing figure.

On the other side, Jiang Momo chased for a long distance, but still couldn't catch up with Professor Zhao.

She stood dejectedly by the roadside, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.

Just one step away, only one step away.

Jiang Momo took two deep breaths. Her phone vibrated; it was a call from Wen Shiyi.

They must be asking where she is.

Too tired to answer the phone, she typed a reply:

[Senior, I'm sorry, Professor Zhao has already left.]

You made a wasted trip...

Before Jiang Momo could finish speaking, her wrist suddenly felt heavy, and a tremendous force pulled her to the side of the road.

"Jiang Momo!"

The voice of the newcomer was familiar. Jiang Momo had just steadied herself when she looked closely and realized that it was none other than Li Yunqi.

But the person in front of me had wide, angry eyes, and bloodshot eyes.

Jiang Momo felt that he was a stranger.

"Li Yunqi, let me go! Are you crazy?"

She strained, trying to break free from Li Yunqi's grasp.

However, Li Yunqi's grip tightened, making Jiang Momo's wrist ache.

Li Yunqi couldn't care less about anything else; only one thought remained in his mind.

Find out exactly what happened.

His voice was sorrowful, filled with pain and questioning.

"Why? Jiang Momo, are you short of money?"

The sudden question caught Jiang Momo off guard. Her tone was extremely impatient, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes, scolding, "You're crazy."

Despite her outward reaction, Jiang Momo managed to maintain her composure.

but……

In fact, she was indeed very short of money.

If she didn't need the money, Grandma wouldn't have had to wait so long for the surgery, and she wouldn't be blocking people here.

However, none of this had anything to do with Li Yunqi.

"If you came here today just to ask me about this, then I have no time to waste."

Jiang Momo spoke coldly, her expression one of disgust as she looked at Li Yunqi:

"Li Yunqi, stop making me hate you."

Li Yunqi was stunned.

Jiang Momo said she hated herself.

This wasn't the first time she'd said it, but it was the one that hurt Li Yunqi the most.

At this moment, Li Yunqi finally realized that he and Jiang Momo had drifted further and further apart and there was no longer any possibility.

People who once loved each other deeply have come to the point of verbally abusing each other.

Li Yunqi sneered, for the sake of his past self who had given his heart.

"Jiang Momo, you're disgusting."

"If you're short of money, you can just tell me. Why do you have to make yourself so depraved? What's so good about those old men that I don't?"

"If I had known you were this kind of person, I would never have bothered to get to know you!"

All the deep affection and sacrifices of the past have become a joke.

"What did you say?" Jiang Momo frowned and asked back.

In Li Yunqi's eyes, she thought she was denying it to the death.

The words that came out were increasingly harsh, and they were spoken with almost no thought whatsoever:

"I'm telling you, you must have been so tired of pretending all these years. On one hand, you acted all high and mighty, making me feel sorry for you, while on the other hand, you frequented brothels with older men."

"I've given you at least a million dollars, if not several million, of money from abroad over the past few years. Isn't that enough for you to live on? Or are you just that desperate for a man?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunqi realized that he had gone a bit too far.

His eyes flickered, but he didn't look away.

More than a few words, Jiang Momo hurt herself far more.

She deserved all of this.

In Li Yunqi's imagination, Jiang Momo should feel ashamed or embarrassed at this moment.

But none of that was true. Faced with his words, Jiang Momo's chest heaved suddenly.

She raised her hand and slapped Li Yunqi.

The crisp sound of a slap echoed between the two. Li Yunqi's face was turned to the side by the slap, while Jiang Momo bit her lip, her face pale.

"Li Yunqi".

Her voice was filled with anguish and indignation.

"I don't know where you heard that, but I've never done any of those things, and I haven't taken a single penny from you!"

"Never before, and never again. If you continue to slander me, I will call the police."

Over the years, many people have misunderstood Jiang Momo and spread rumors about her.

All those words combined didn't hurt her as much as Li Yunqi's words right now.

Now that things have come to this point, for a fleeting moment, Jiang Momo suddenly wanted to tell Li Yunqi about the time his mother came looking for her.

But the words got stuck in his throat.

What's the point of saying all this?

Li Yunqi was convinced that she had done those things, which was why he came to find her.

There is no need for a person to explain themselves to someone who doesn't believe them.

She lowered her gaze, while Li Yunqi was still immersed in the emotions of being beaten by Jiang Momo.

His cheek stung, and Li Yunqi pressed the tip of his tongue against the spot where he had been hit.

He turned his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"You hit me because I saw through your disguise, right?"

"Hopeless."

Jiang Momo pushed him away, unwilling to linger any longer, and hurriedly left.

Li Yunqi was left standing there alone.

He couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.

Li Shiqing caught up at this moment, and the first thing she noticed was the swollen marks on Li Yunqi's face.

My heart was bleeding with anxiety.

"Senior! What happened to your face? Did that bitch Jiang Momo hit you?!"

She spoke without restraint for a moment.

Li Yunqi is the person Li Shiqing has liked since college. Jiang Momo actually dared to lay a hand on her senior, and she wished she could rush over right now and cut Jiang Momo into a thousand pieces.

"Don't worry, I'll go and bring her back right now and make her pay!"

After Li Shiqing finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Li Yunqi pulled her back again. Li Yunqi kept his head down. After a while, he pressed down on Li Shiqing's shoulder urgently.

"Li Shiqing, would you be willing to help me?"

Li Shiqing's expression shifted slightly, a secret expectation flashing through her heart.

This was the first time Li Yunqi had spoken to her in this tone. Did it prove that she held a different place in Li Yunqi's heart?

Suppressing her excitement, she said, "Senior, whatever you want me to do, I'll help you."

Li Yunqi was almost obsessive.

"Could you follow Momo for me? Tell me everything she does."

"Even if she really did so many bad things, I still believe she had her reasons, and I must investigate thoroughly."

The joy in Li Shiqing's eyes faded away, replaced by hatred.

She couldn't refuse the person she liked, so she could only force a smile, her lips twitching.

"Okay." Li Shiqing said, word by word, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on Momo for you and I will not miss her every move."

……

None of them noticed that, around a corner not far away, a flash of light was going off like crazy.

The man was carrying a black backpack and wearing sunglasses and a mask, completely covering his face.

He put down his DSLR camera and looked back at the photos one by one.

Finally, all of them were packaged and sent to a certain account.
