Hearing Liu Rui's words, my heart thumped. If what he said was true, then it means that there is someone else backing Zhou Tao. That person could very likely be the person who ordered Zhou Tao to do all of this.

In that moment, Liu Rui had already recovered her capable look from before, and nodded: "It's absolutely true, there's no need for me to lie to you, I do not know how you and Ye Junli suspected me, I previously felt that this was not anything major, in any case, there's no evidence in Jun Li's hand, and she could not have done anything to me, so I did not say, I did not know the situation had developed to this extent."

Liu Rui was startled for a moment, then nodded his head, "When I had just received my share, he came to look for me, and I gave him money at that time, adding up all of it, I gave him almost two million. Afterwards, he asked me to reject me, partly because I really don't have that much money left, but partly because I don't want to live like this any longer, I don't want to be associated with him forever, I want to live my own life."

"Zhou Xiang, this matter is truly not something that I can handle. I've already taken a huge risk by coming to see you today, I don't know how many members of the Ye Family are watching me. If you have any problems in the future, you should ask Junli to help you deal with them." Liu Rui stood up and said indifferently.

I suddenly understood what she meant. Although the two of us are close blood relatives, we can't discuss together right now, let alone stand in the same camp. So, she has always been like this to me, making me hate her and even hate her.

I finally remembered how she cried in front of Xiao Nian's tombstone. It turns out that she really wasn't acting, she really loved Xiao Nian.

"I understand. Leave. I will think of a way to deal with this matter." I didn't tell her about the matter between me and Ye Junli, since it was useless to tell her. I suddenly sympathized with her, a woman like her had chosen a path that couldn't affect her own life, but she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

"Good luck, be careful, Zhou Tao, he … "Not human." After saying that, she gritted her teeth and left.

I watched her back as she left. I didn't know what to feel.

But I know that this isn't the time for me to be sentimental, and not long after Liu Rui left, I followed him out of the room. I had more important things to do, and since Zhou Tao couldn't find me within a day, I felt that there wasn't any sense of security, and no matter what he wanted to do, since he had already revealed his true nature of being dangerous, I couldn't let him go. No matter what, I must control his actions, and even if it wasn't for my own sake, I must still protect Ye Jun.

But I didn't expect that when I left my room and went downstairs, the hall on the first floor was already in a mess. I panicked, feeling that something bad had happened.

I went to the reception desk to check out of the room. The reception desk lady's face was deathly pale, as if she had met with some horrifying incident.

"Miss, check out." She seemed to come back to her senses and took my papers and keys.

I looked at the group of people gathered together. I didn't know what they were talking about, but there seemed to be dangerous auras in the air, followed by a similar fishy smell.

"What happened over there?" I couldn't help but ask.

Miss's entire body shivered. She then looked at me and nervously said, "Just now … Someone took a knife here and cut a lady to death. "

As soon as she said this, there was a roar in my ears, followed by a wave of dizziness. I trembled as I looked back at the place they had surrounded, as if blood were spreading from the ground beneath their feet. My legs gave way, and I almost fell to the ground.

"Miss, are you alright?" The front desk girl saw that there was something wrong with me and immediately said.

The scene before my eyes was completely blood-red. I had experienced the same thing when Xiao Nian had died, and the scene before my eyes was also completely blood-red. Xiao Nian was lying in that pool of blood, staring at me with wide eyes.

I was very afraid, wanting to walk over and find out what exactly happened, but I was also afraid of seeing Liu Rui's appearance. The two of us had just shared a room, and I had just forgiven her in my heart. I thought that from now on her life would be better and better, but how could it be like this?

If it really was Zhou Tao, then why would he follow me here? Was his target Liu Rui or me? I didn't tell anyone about my conversation with Liu Rui, so if it's really Zhou Tao, then where did he get this news from?

My intuition told me that the person lying on the ground in front of me must be Liu Rui, but how can I face such a cruel matter? Even if Zhou Tao is my biological father, whether he beat me up or scold me, I have never felt any kinship from him.

A white light flashed in my mind. Then, my legs softened and I was about to fall to the ground. I could hear the sound of those people receiving my orders and the exclamation of the receptionist. My final consciousness firmly caught my hands and held them in a familiar embrace.

Ye Junli, why is he here …? The thought flashed through my mind, and then I didn't know anything.

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital bed. My heart was thumping hard. Was the person who died in the hotel lobby really Liu Rui? If it wasn't, how could it be such a coincidence?

The more I thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Just as I wanted to get off the bed, the door to the ward was pushed open and Ye Junli's figure entered my sight.

I stared at him blankly. Only then did I remember that the person who was last in front of me when I fainted was Ye Junli. I immediately climbed over to grab the corner of his clothes and begged, "Ye Junli, what happened?"
