On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

As night fell, the two left hand in hand.

The winter night wind seemed even more biting than when they arrived, and Su Yuqing subconsciously shrank closer to Chen Mo's arms.

Chen Mo hugged her tighter and wrapped her in his coat, but the seriousness between his brows did not disappear after they left the hotel.

With Chen Mo by her side, Su Yuqing felt incredibly safe, but a chill still rose in her heart. Who would have thought that malice from blood relatives could be more terrifying than that from strangers?

The two returned to their warm home, and since they lacked interest in the evening, they simply washed up and lay down in each other's arms.

But tonight, Su Yuqing found it hard to fall asleep, her mind replaying scenes from the banquet and Chen Mo's solemn warning.

Chen Mo sensed her unease, held her tightly in his arms, and gently stroked her back repeatedly, silently conveying his protective strength.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

Su family.

Su Chengfeng, still tipsy and content, had already fallen asleep, snoring loudly.

Lin Shiya shed her gentle facade, her face showing fatigue and impatience as she washed up in the bathroom.

However, Su Yaxi's room was completely dark and silent.

She didn't turn on the light, and curled up in the chair by the window like a frozen statue.

The scattered lights outside the window reflected on her expressionless face, her eyes vacant yet turbulent.

Her phone screen was lit up, not showing games or social media apps, but a hidden browser page with a shockingly disturbing search history:

How to stage an accidental death?

Will mixing cleaning agents produce toxic fumes?

[Distribution of Abandoned Factories in Jiangcheng]

The most lethal acupoints in the human body

Each search record is like the forked tongue of a venomous snake, exuding a chilling aura of death.

Her slender fingers slid across the cold screen, her eyes focused and fanatical, like a fanatical artist meticulously designing a work of art, except that what she was designing was a perfect murder.

"How... how can I make her disappear cleanly..." she murmured to herself, her voice sounding unusually clear and eerie in the darkness.

"The most troublesome thing is her boyfriend... he's inseparable from her all the time..."

"what can we do about it?"

……

Suddenly, a twisted, chilling smile slowly curved the corners of her lips.

The storm is already gathering in the darkness.

The next few days seemed calm and peaceful.

With Chen Mo's reassurance, Su Yuqing gradually suppressed the unpleasantness and unease from the banquet and threw herself back into her holiday life.

Chen Mo remained vigilant throughout, knowing all too well that the twisted hatred would not dissipate easily.

A few days later, one afternoon, the sky was overcast, and a light winter rain began to fall, causing the temperature to drop sharply.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing were at home reading when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Su Yuqing looked through the peephole and was stunned—standing outside the door was Su Yaxi, who was soaking wet and shivering!
She wasn't carrying an umbrella; her hair and clothes clung to her body, her face was pale, and her lips were purple from the cold. She looked extremely pitiful, just like Su Yuqing when she first knocked on Chen Mo's door.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked as he walked over to Su Yuqing, who was standing hesitantly at the door.

"It's...it's Ya Xi, she's completely soaked." Su Yuqing looked at Chen Mo helplessly.

Chen Mo's brows furrowed instantly, and his vigilance reached its peak.

He gestured for Su Yuqing to wait a moment, and after checking through the peephole again to confirm that only Su Yaxi was outside and that there was nothing unusual around, he slowly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Su Yaxi raised her wet face, her eyes red and swollen, her voice trembling with tears: "Sister... I... I had a fight with Mom and Dad... I ran out without an umbrella... I have nowhere to go..."

As she spoke, she even let out a loud sneeze, her thin body shivering in the cold wind like a fallen leaf.

Seeing her pitiful state, Su Yuqing's kindness and her instinct as an older sister instantly overwhelmed her previous doubts.

She quickly stepped aside: "Come in quickly! How did you get so wet? You'll get sick!"

Su Yaxi walked in timidly, leaving a puddle of water on her feet, but her eyes inadvertently scanned the layout of the living room.

Chen Mo watched coldly, sneering inwardly; the self-inflicted injury was quite convincing.

He didn't believe that someone like Su Yaxi, who habitually wore the mask of a good girl, would argue with her parents!

Even if we assume they had a fight, she would never come to see Su Yuqing, the person she least wants to see.

Something unusual must be going on. Let's see what kind of mischief she's planning!

"Go take a hot shower to warm yourself up!" Su Yuqing pulled the cold and stiff Su Yaxi towards the bathroom. "I'll run the water for you."

"Thank you, sister..." Su Yaxi lowered her head, looking both grateful and aggrieved.

While Su Yuqing was running water in the bathroom, Su Yaxi sat on the sofa in the living room, drying her hair with a towel, but her eyes drifted to Chen Mo, who was pouring hot water in the kitchen.

"The water's ready, go take a soak, I'll go find you some clean clothes." A little while later, Su Yuqing finished running the water and came out, gently pulling Su Yaxi into the bathroom.

“Sister…” Su Yaxi entered the bathroom and saw the sanitary napkins in the bag next to the toilet. She suddenly grabbed Su Yuqing’s hand and said in a weak voice, “I… I haven’t been feeling well these past few days. I’m used to using 8TV. Could you buy me a pack?”

Before Su Yaxi arrived, she had already prepared an excuse: first, observe what kind of sanitary napkins Su Yuqing's family used, and then just say any kind that they didn't have at home.

In short, the goal is to get her away from us.

The reason for choosing sanitary napkins was to prevent Chen Mo from going out to buy them.

She came here today to see Chen Mo, not Su Yuqing.

In fact, Chen Mo was happy to see her choice; he was not comfortable leaving Su Yuqing alone with Su Yaxi.

"Then you go in and take a bath first, I'll go to the nearby pharmacy to buy it for you!" The kind-hearted Su Yuqing didn't suspect anything and immediately picked up her umbrella and wallet to go out.

"Thank you, sister, you're so kind..." Su Yaxi said with a "touched" smile.

"Hmm?" Chen Mo was immediately puzzled upon seeing this.

He thought Su Yaxi came over today to deal with Su Yuqing, but she deliberately used the issue of sanitary napkins to get Su Yuqing away, leaving him at home instead.

This made Chen Mo suspect that the girl might have set up some kind of ambush outside to deal with Su Yuqing.

Seeing that Su Yuqing was about to leave, Chen Mo immediately said, "Yuqing, wait for me, I'll go with you."

"Don't leave me home alone. I'm scared, and if something goes missing, I'll have no one to testify for me, and I won't be able to defend myself." Seeing that her main target was about to slip away, Su Yaxi quickly stopped her. (End of Chapter)
