Boyfriend's passive-aggressive behavior, she turns the tables and makes him her backup option.

Si Nian slumped to the ground, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away. Her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand up.

She grabbed Xie Jingyao with her hands covered in blood.

Upon seeing an acquaintance, she almost uncontrollably burst into tears.

"Niannian, Niannian, don't be afraid, what's wrong?" Xie Jingyao called Si Nian's name urgently, trying to bring her back to her senses.

Si Nian pointed tremblingly into the lounge, "I...I killed someone."

Xie Jingyao's heart tightened.

After he pulled Si Nian out of the water, he and she rushed to the lounge to check on her.

Si Nian pointed to the fruit knife on the ground that was stained with blood.

"He tried to take advantage of me, I resisted... and then..."

Xie Jingyao looked at the man lying in a pool of blood. He picked up the fruit knife, wiped away his fingerprints with his sleeve, held it in his hand, and walked towards the man.

Si Nian realized what Xie Jingyao was trying to do, and she quickly grabbed him.

"Xie Jingyao...don't do this, I don't need your help."

Xie Jingyao pulled Si Nian aside and said to her in a calm voice, "This has nothing to do with you. Go wash your hands and go to another lounge."

"No... I can't leave. I'll call the police now and turn myself in. Maybe... I don't want to go to jail. I really didn't mean to."

As Si Nian spoke, tears streamed down her face.

She's so young, and she has so much to do. She's going abroad for a competition at the end of the month...

Why did this beast have to appear in front of her at this crucial moment, disrupting her life?

She thought of how Feng He had suffered so many years in prison for killing Zhou Lin.

She slumped back down, completely exhausted.

Xie Jingyao stepped forward to check the man's vital signs.

He probed his nose and then placed his hand on his carotid artery.

He then chuckled softly, "Don't worry, you won't go to jail."

Si Nian's chest heaved violently as she looked anxiously at Xie Jingyao. "Is he still alive?"

"He's still breathing."

Xie Jingyao pulled open his clothes and took a look.

Then, he plunged the knife into the man's groin.

Fresh blood spurted out.

Si Nian was so shocked that she stood there stunned, her eyes wide open.

Xie Jingyao tossed the knife aside and slowly wiped his hands with a tissue.

He then picked up Si Nian, whose legs were trembling, from the ground and placed her on his lap.

Then I took a wet towel and wiped her hands.

"Scared out of your wits?"

Si Nian's tears kept falling. "He wasn't dead just now, but is he really dead now?"

"He brought it on himself, he deserved it."

After wiping Si Nian's hands clean, Xie Jingyao noticed that Si Nian's fingers were badly swollen.

A murderous intent suddenly surged in his eyes.

But the woman still in his arms was trembling. He suppressed his anger and joked, "So Niannian is that powerful. She stabbed him five times. He should regret messing with you in his next life."

Si Nian closed her eyes in despair.

She reached for the fruit knife and stabbed him. The man didn't fall down; instead, he angrily threw her over and stomped heavily on her fingers.

Si Nian cried out in pain, feeling as if her fingers were about to be broken.

When the man pressed down on her again, Si Nian struggled to grab the fruit knife again and swung it with all her might, stabbing him a few more times.

All she knew was that by the time she regained her senses, the man was already lying in a pool of blood, lifeless.

Xie Jingyao straightened her clothes and said to her, "Don't cry. You won't go to jail, and you won't have to pay with your life."

The words fell.

The door to the lounge was forced open.

Immediately afterwards, screams rang out.

All Si Nian could hear were people shouting in terror, "Murder! Someone's murdered someone! Call the police!!"

Security guards at the venue and passersby all rushed over to this side.

When Lin Tinghan arrived, the people around him made way for him and let him into the lounge.

Because the onlookers had already recognized Si Nian.

Not long ago, Lin Tinghan had his arm around her waist as he introduced her to everyone as his wife.

And now his wife is sitting on another man's lap, being protected in his arms, looking completely terrified.

Lin Tinghan rushed forward, pulled Si Nian away, and threw a punch at Xie Jingyao.

"Xie Jingyao! You fucking dared to mess with my wife!"
