After leaving the villa, Chu Siqi hailed a taxi and headed somewhere.

Not long after Chu Siqi left, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness beyond the reach of the streetlights.

Looking in the direction Chu Siqi had left, he casually dialed a number.

The phone's ringtone sounded particularly jarring in the silent darkness, and the call was answered on the other end shortly afterward.

"Boss, Miss Chu just left home. Chu Tianxiong hasn't returned yet, and his retainer is also not here. Now is the perfect opportunity for us to make our move."

He said in a cold voice.

"Notify the people of the Underworld to make their move."

A rough voice came back from the other end of the phone.

The call was immediately disconnected, and the man in black, without pausing for a moment, dialed another mysterious number.

Beep!

Under the interplay of moonlight and streetlights, dappled light and shadows were cast on the park's paths.

Soon, Chu Siqi arrived and walked lightly inside.

Lin Zhiyi, who had arrived earlier, saw Chu Siqi and immediately went to greet her under the moonlight.

The moonlight, like a light veil, fell upon them, outlining their slender figures as if they were draped in a layer of silvery glow.

This place is very close to Shenwu University, only a few miles away.

Lin Zhiyi waited there for about ten minutes.

When Lin Zhiyi got closer, she noticed that Chu Siqi's face was full of unhappiness, and her mouth was involuntarily muttering something.

Under the gentle caress of the moonlight, it looked absolutely lovely.

"Siqi, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhiyi took her hand and noticed that Chu Siqi's small hand was slightly cold.

It was summer, so even at night it wasn't cold; there was just a gentle breeze, which was refreshing and comfortable.

However, upon seeing Chu Siqi's unhappy expression and noticing the tear stains on her face, Lin Zhiyi roughly understood why her hands were cold.

When a person is extremely sad, their metabolic rate decreases, which can lead to a feeling of coldness in the body.

What Lin Zhiyi was curious about was what exactly had happened to make Chu Siqi so heartbroken.

Then Lin Zhiyi pulled Chu Siqi to sit on a bench next to the park.

But no matter how Lin Zhiyi asked, Chu Siqi kept her head down and didn't say a word.

Later, Lin Zhiyi simply stopped asking questions and quietly sat with Chu Siqi.

Time passed by little by little.

"Waaah..."

Lin Zhiyi, who was standing nearby, could hear soft sobbing.

Looking back, I saw Chu Siqi with her head down, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Zhiyi sighed inwardly, but simply reached out and gently stroked her back.

She didn't know what was wrong with Chu Siqi, but seeing her like this, her sympathy immediately welled up.

Chu Siqi wanted to go for a walk with Lin Zhiyi tonight and express her feelings. Having someone by her side to listen might make her feel better, but she didn't know how to start.

"Shen...Shu...Chou..."

After a brief pause, Chu Siqi finally uttered a name.

Chu Siqi's words were vague, but Lin Zhiyi still clearly heard the word "Shen".

Lin Zhiyi immediately understood, and she tentatively asked, "Is it because of Shen Shuchou?"

Chu Siqi lowered her head, her eyes revealing endless sorrow, her eyes red and still bearing traces of her recent crying.

She listened quietly to Lin Zhiyi's words, nodding slightly in response.

Strands of hair fell on either side of her face, swaying gently in the breeze, adding to her delicate and helpless appearance.

Those eyes, which should have been clear and bright like apricot blossoms, were now brimming with tears, resembling a deep lake, evoking pity in one's heart.

"What's wrong with Shen Shuchou? Didn't you stop talking to him?"

Lin Zhiyi paused for a moment before speaking.

Lin Zhiyi wasn't really sure why their relationship had broken down.

But she also asked Shen Shuchou, and from his tone, Lin Zhiyi could tell that he really didn't like Chu Siqi.

Although Chu Siqi had told her that she would no longer speak to Shen Shuchou, it was clear from the look in her eyes that this was not her true intention.

Chu Siqi didn't hide anything and told everyone what she had seen at the entrance of Shenwu University.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi was taken aback, finally understanding why Chu Siqi had been crying so much.

No matter who you are, it would be very upsetting to see someone you like intimately embracing another person of the opposite sex.

"Perhaps this really is his sister."

Lin Zhiyi offered words of comfort.

Chu Siqi pursed her lips and whispered, "No, he won't have a sister."

"How do you know Shen Shuchou doesn't have a younger sister?"

Lin Zhiyi said with a hint of helplessness.

"Because I've investigated his background."

Chu Siqi pouted and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi gave Chu Siqi a deep look before continuing, "What if she's a distant cousin? We can't judge a book by its cover. How about I ask her for you tomorrow?"

These words reached Chu Siqi's ears, but she only heard the last few words.

Chu Siqi instinctively wanted to speak up to stop Lin Zhiyi. If Lin Zhiyi asked, would Shen Shuchou think that she had asked her, and thus dislike her even more?

But deep down, Chu Siqi really wanted to know if the girl in the pink dress was Shen Shuchou's sister.

Lin Zhiyi clearly caught the conflicted look on Chu Siqi's face out of the corner of her eye.

I immediately found it a little funny; even though I really wanted to know, I was putting on a resistant act.

"It's alright, don't worry about me."

Lin Zhiyi continued.

These words were like a tranquilizer for Chu Siqi.

"Thanks!"

Chu Siqi said in a soft voice.

However, just as Chu Siqi finished speaking, two black shadows suddenly enveloped the two of them.

Lin Zhiyi slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed in astonishment ahead.

Suddenly, two tall men in black robes appeared before her like ghosts.

Their figures appeared exceptionally majestic, shrouded in black robes, as if they had blended into the surrounding darkness.

Lin Zhiyi's heart suddenly raced, and she stared nervously at the two mysterious men.

Their faces were completely hidden in the shadows of their robes, making it impossible to see their true appearance.

The presence of the man in black robes exuded an unsettling aura, and Lin Zhiyi felt an invisible pressure gradually approaching.

Lin Zhiyi, her eyes wary, quickly stood up and pulled Chu Siqi to leave, but was immediately blocked by another figure.

"Who are you people?"

Seeing that her path was blocked, Lin Zhiyi suppressed the chill in her heart and spoke out coldly.

"Shh!"

The man in the black robe put his finger to his lips and shushed softly.

"Little sister, don't make noise so late at night. I won't hurt you. Just leave her to me and everything will be fine."

The man in black robes spoke softly, pointing a finger at Chu Siqi beside him.

Chu Siqi's face turned deathly pale. This scene suddenly reminded her of the last kidnapping, a dark period that had lingered in her mind ever since.

"Don't even think about it, we are from Shenwu University."

Upon hearing that the two wanted to take Chu Siqi away, Lin Zhiyi naturally could not agree and brought up the idea of ​​Shenwu University to try to disperse the two.

"Why waste words with her? Just kill her."

The other man in black was clearly getting impatient and was about to make a move.

But she was immediately stopped by the man in black in front of Lin Zhiyi. He frowned slightly and scolded, "Don't you know what professional ethics are? You said you'd tie one up, so you did."

Upon hearing the reprimand, the black-clad man, hidden in the darkness, couldn't help but twitch his lips, inwardly cursing.

What the hell is this about professional ethics?

But since he was the leader, they didn't say anything more.

Just as Lin Zhiyi was about to say something, she suddenly felt dizzy and her body went limp.

At that moment, Chu Siqi, who was being led by the hand, was snatched away from the man in black.

In the last breath before losing consciousness, Lin Zhiyi could only vaguely see Chu Siqi's panicked face.

And the corners of her mouth were slightly moving towards me, as if she were saying something, or perhaps it was a person's name.

But not a single sound reached Lin Zhiyi's ears. Her eyelids felt as heavy as if Mount Tai were pressing down on her, and her vision dimmed.

With a "thump," Lin Zhiyi's body collapsed to the ground, completely limp like a puddle of mud.
