Chapter 3 - Her evil ways

Shi Enxi accompanied Lu Mello outside her brother's office after she was able to calm down.

"Please let me know if you need anything else, Mr. Lu." She smiled a bit at him as she handed him her business card.

He looked at the business card and turned to her with a smile, "Don't worry, I will. Are you free tonight?"

Shi Enxi was caught off-guard by his sudden offer. "Huh?"

"I can't really discuss it with you right now since it is important." He looked around them to make sure that there was no one there except them. "Since you have offer your help, I want to discuss something concerning Mr. Wang's case."

Shi Enxi's eyes glistened in delight when she heard his words. The reason why she was willing to cooperate in his investigation was so that she can do something about it while the evidence was not pointing to her and Huang Li, her partner in crime.

If Lu Mello was going to get close to them then she had no choice but to discard of him.

Lu Mello was staring closely at her. Even if her face didn't show what she was thinking, he could already guess what it was.

He sighed inwardly, Shi Enxi has always been good of covering her emotions. Even he himself wasn't able to see through her back then.

"I understand. Please message me the time and place." She said with a soft tone on her voice.

After Lu Mello left the building, he drove back to the station. While he was on his way and while the lights were red, he began thinking of their past and he ended up traveling back in time.

No matter how evil Shi Enxi was, even if she had betrayed him so many times, he couldn't stop himself from loving her.

(Past-flashback)

Shi Enxi has always looked quiet and calm. Everyone around her saw her as a person who has an overwhelming kindness and warmth, thriving to achieve happiness for everyone.

Behind that facade, no one expected who she really was. She caused her uncle's accident and placed him into a coma. She was not satisfied with that, she ordered the only person who cared for her, Huang Li, to kill him in his sleep.

Huang Li knew about the hardship she went through. He was the son of a servant in the Wang household.

Shi Enxi was able to know him since Shi Anhao treated Shi Enxi like a servant and Huang Li was the person who helped her do her the dishes in the kitchen.

If she wanted to stay in their place and eat good food, she has to work for it! That was what Shi Anhao, her auntie always told her.

Aside from the mother, her daughters, Shi Nansheng and Shi Ansheng treated her badly, they made things hard for her even when they were in school.

The worst thing that Shi Enxi experienced was when she was molested by her own uncle, Wang Hao.

Huang Li tried to stop him one time but in Wang Hao's anger, he beat him badly. He warned the two if they tried to tell others about it, he was going to fire Huang Li's parents and make sure that their life will be miserable.

After Shi Enxi was taken by Li Bingbing, Huang Li and the two kept in touch.

He was her best friend and the only one who understood her the most. Huang Li has always loved her despite everything and because of that love, he was willing to do anything for her.

Shi Enxi wanted to destroy the Shi family since she was blaming them for what happened to her. She even blamed her brother for leaving her behind.

It's not fair! Why does he have a good life while she has to suffer? Didn't he promise that he was going to protect her and that no matter what, he was going to be there for her? Then where was he during the times she needed him the most?

Since she became Shi Yi's secretary, she was feeding him a slow-reacting poison that can cause a heart attack. She would always mix it in his drink whenever he asked for one.

She got the poison from one of Lu Xian Yu, her brother-in-law's collection of poisons. She became so interested in it that she started studying different kinds of poison at such a young age.

It took two months before the poison finally reacted in Shi Yi's body, taking his life.

In his last moments, he saw his sister's devious look, happily waving goodbye at him. "See you in hell, brother." After that, she screamed out and called for help.

The way her expression changed was only a matter of seconds. He couldn't believe what just happened. Confusion filled his mind until his last breath.

Her next target was her cousins, Shi Nansheng and Shi Ansheng who were working in the entertainment industry. They were easy for her to take care of because of their works, all she had to do was cause a scandal for them to ruin their careers.

She ordered Huang Li to drug Shi Ansheng and send her to one of those businessmen who back up an artist in exchange for sleeping with them.

The s.e.x video that was secretly taken soon spread and with that, Shi Ansheng was brought to ruin, especially when she got pregnant.

Because of all the negative comments and all the pressure she received, Shi Ansheng saw no opportunity to redeem herself in the eyes of many. Shi Ansheng was the type of person who was easily affected by the netizen's view of her. She got depressed and in the end, she committed suicide.

Next was Shi Nansheng, her sister. Her work as a model was affected because of her sister's scandal.

Since Shi Enxi was now the president of Shi company, she used her power to ruin Shi Nansheng behind the scenes.

Shi Enxi dealt with her cousin using a different method. She allowed Huang Li to hire someone to kidnap her.

She tortured her and watched Shi Nansheng as she was defiled by the men that Shi Enxi hired. There was no mercy in Shi Enxi's cold eyes when she watched the scene before her.

After she allowed her men to defile Shi Nansheng, Shi Enxi continued on with the torture of beating her like a sandbox. It took days before Shi Nansheng finally died.

Since Shi Enxi wanted to leave Shi Anhao for the last, she wanted to make her suffer by allowing her to experience the days without her beloved family.

The death of everyone around her pained Shi Anhao. She mourned for so long. Aside from that, she lost the riches she once have since her business became bankrupt.

Shi Anhao was not the only one in her list, aside from the Shi family, Fan Xiao Yao, Lu Mello's first love and girlfriend was in it.

(end of flashback)

When Fan Xiao Yao entered Lu Mello's mind, he couldn't help but wonder how she was.

If the timeline was correct, he was still courting Fan Xiao Yao and she was finally going to answer him by next week.

His feelings for Fan Xiao Yao was long gone. What should he do? He can't just tell her that he doesn't like her anymore, right?

*Honk! Honk!*

The cars behind him started honking since the light has turned green and yet he was not moving his car.

Lu Mello was brought back to reality by those loud honks. He quickly started driving away from the place.

While driving, his mind was flying between Fan Xiao Yao and Shi Enxi.

How should he end things with Fan Xiao Yao? How should he change Shi Enxi's evil ways?

Shi Yi and the others were still alive but he knew that Shi Enxi was going to make her move soon. She has already caused Wang Hao's accident.

He knew her next move... she was going to kill Wang Hao before proceeding to his daughter, Shi Ansheng.
