— She's in your way.

It was a funny thing to say, so he was acting the part of a good brother, going through fire and water for his sister.

Then wouldn't she have to be grateful for the tears and think that his actions were right?

"It was a human life after all. Bro, I'm not you …"

I can't do anything to kill anyone, even if I hate Joanne more than anyone else.

And you.

That sentence, "I am not you," sounded profound to Yin Xiangze. His black eyes darkened, and a cold chill attacked her in layers.

Only then did Yin Qinghuan notice that the man's gaze had stopped … She dropped her hand to one side.

As for her hand, she had already clenched it into a fist some time ago. Was it out of panic or anger?

Knowing that he was aware of the change, she suddenly let go of her hand and placed it behind her back.

"I only wanted to use my strength to defeat Joanna, not this kind of method."

"And if you lose to her?"

"..." "No."

"So sure, eh?" Yin Xiangze understood his sister's personality. She was born to be competitive in the past, but what was different now was that she was confident and confident.

She said she wouldn't lose, so she definitely wouldn't.

"This time, Joanne didn't lose her life. Bro, don't find anyone to touch her, okay?"

Yin Qinghuan did not believe in this man. After all, in her opinion, the reason Yin Xiangze wanted Joanna's life was for himself. He wanted to use his sister's life as a cover.

"She is not worthy to live."

Unexpectedly, Yin Xiangze actually said this in an extremely casual tone.

Joanne, unworthy of living.

A demon, a demon whose hands were stained with the blood of others, actually said such words.

Yin Xiangze, do you think you're a god that can determine life and death with a single sentence?

The person who has the most unqualified to live is you.

"Did she offend you?"

"Nope."

"If you don't have it, then please, sister, let her go."

Seeing that he didn't want her, Yin Qinghuan knew that he had hardened his heart to get her …

"At the very least, let her lose to me. I don't care what you do to her after this."

There was nothing she could do, so she could only say this. After hearing this, Yin Xiangze hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Thank you brother."

These three words spilled out from her lips, but she could not hear any hint of gratitude.

She turned around and walked to the door. Just as she was about to leave the study, she heard the unhurried voice of the person.

"What did I tell you that night when I was drunk?"

Yin Qinghuan stopped. That night …

He knew, consciously enough, that he had been to her room.

As for what he had said, Yin Qinghuan didn't know whether or not he was testing her. After all, she really did not know if what Yin Xiangze had said that night was true or false.

"Brother, you only said a few drunken words that night, I didn't pay attention to it."

"I really didn't take it to heart, huh?"

"…"

The woman stiffened and did not turn to look at him. She only shook her head and left his study.

Back in her room, she looked at the clock on the wall and fell into deep thought.

No matter if Yin Xiangze's words from that night were true or not, she had to go and verify them.

But he was already trying to doubt her, and she couldn't go there anymore.

What on earth should I do …? Could she call the police?

Or she could get someone else to call the police and have them find out that it was her side who leaked the news.

Even if this matter were to be brought to light and Yin Xiangze suspected her, she would not be willing to admit it even if she had no evidence.

ST Design Department.

"How did you prepare for the assessment?"

"Mm, it's about time."

Yin Qing nodded happily at Yichen. Now that the match was postponed, the two of them were given new tasks. About the annual design exhibition that ST would hold early next month, before the design department would come up with a set of jewelry with the theme of Gesang Flower.

The task was indeed a bit heavy. Moreover, no one knew who would be eliminated in the assessment next week.

Thus, it was very likely that everything he had done now would end up becoming useless.

"Did you see Joanne?"

"Right." Yin Qinghuan nodded and went to take a look. Moreover … There was a lot more to say.

Yi Chen picked up the teacup on the table, and remained silent for a moment before she slowly asked, "Is she okay?"

"What do you think? ST purposely delayed it for her. How could she not be good?"

"If she doesn't think it through, perhaps I will treat her as an opponent." Yi Chen did not deny that the work designed by Joanne during the first exam had indeed made people's eyes light up.

However, it was a pity that Joanna's mental skills were not good and her methods were despicable. Yi Chen looked down on such people. Sometimes he even wondered, is she really Qiao Yonuo's younger sister? The gap between siblings was really huge.

"Then who were your opponents?" Yin Qinghuan was just casually asking. After tidying up the documents and getting up to go deliver the documents, she heard Yi Chen's indifferent reply — —

"You and Qiao Yino."

It was as if this answer was within her expectations. Yin Qinghuan's expression did not change as she walked out of the design department's office with a warm smile on her face.

As Shizhuang had already settled down to work at home, she should have been in charge of the design exhibition. In the end, she had entrusted all the responsibility to Gu Wenliu.

When she went to look for that special assistance, she met Gu Wenliu.

"Just when you wanted to ask, have you finished negotiating with the Chu Clan?"

Gu Wenliu blocked her from entering the office and brought up the matter. Without thinking, the woman shook her head and said, "I didn't."

Yin Qinghuan originally wanted to contact Chu Huai again yesterday, but she hesitated for a long time.

Actually, this was just a small collaboration. Since they had already talked about it, breaking the contract would seem very dishonest and cheap.

As a small designer, she really couldn't care less.

However, as the founder of ST, Qiao Yonuo could make decisions in this matter.

"Director Gu, I won't do such a dishonorable thing. If you insist on breaking the contract, then please find someone else."

"You dare talk to me like that, aren't you afraid that I'll fire you?"

Gu Wenliu found it funny. Why did this woman always look like she thought he didn't dare to touch her?

"If you really have the right."

As the woman spoke, she went around this fellow to get Lin Te's help.

Gu Wen Liu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that this woman really treated him like a paper tiger, which was odd. Just what kind of magic power did Yin Qinghuan have? Take Shiyan for example. When it came to Yin Qinghuan, her attitude had completely reversed.

If he had said those words before, his wife would have turned cold and ignored him.

Right now, he had no intention to mention Yin Qinghuan. Every so often, he would ask her how she had been doing recently.

The most laughable thing was that when he mentioned the assessment competition and analyzed who would be in first place between Yi Chen and Joanne, the potbellied woman would interrupt him.

I think Yin Qinghuan is better than both of them.

In the end, Gu Wenliu could only sigh: The world of women is so complicated.

In the hospital.

Joanne, who had been resting for two days, had already been transferred to the ordinary ward. In this car accident, she had mainly injured her leg and could not easily get out of bed.

From what his father had said, the result of the police investigation was that the other party had drunk a large amount of liquor and had gotten into an accident.

She didn't believe it. The car was clearly heading towards her, as if she was the target.

Who would have done it? Who would be so ruthless as to almost take her life?

At this moment, her phone vibrated. When she saw who the message was from, her eyes immediately lit up.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Joanne stared intently. A few minutes later, she called home and had the servant bring her blueprints and laptop with her.

"Great! With this, I will definitely win this time!"

So what if there was a car accident? It turned out that she was lucky.

Now that she had the design of Yi Chen, she was no longer afraid of losing.

Yin Qinghuan, someone will naturally do something that you won't help me with.

I didn't expect that after so many years of friendship, you would finally do this to me. I'm afraid you didn't want to help me when you first entered the ST.

When Yin Qinghuan returned that night, she happened to see Yin Xiangze's assistant carrying a suitcase down to the car. From the looks of it, he was going to travel far.

The assistant just said that Mr. Yin was going to the United States for a business deal and wouldn't be back for a while, and then drove away.

Short time?

She hoped that upon his return, he would receive a surprise from her.

The next evening, Yin Qinghuan went to the same place where she had followed Yin Xiangze last time.

His mood was completely different from the last time he came here. If 'she' 's corpse was truly thrown into this lake …

The place was deserted, but it was impossible not to see a lot of people.

When the car stopped at the side of the road, the woman got out and walked along the grass until the sand under her feet turned to mud. She walked up the bridge and approached the lake.

At first glance, this lake seemed to have no end. To abandon one's corpse was indeed unexpected.

She couldn't just go out and call the police. If there was someone who could …

At this moment, a sound came from the small forest.

"Why did you bring me here? Didn't you say to go to the hotel?"

"It's much more exciting here than at the hotel!"

"Don't do it ~ What if someone sees it …"

"No, no one will come here."

"…"

Yin Qinghuan's gaze turned towards the direction of the sound. Then, she heard the low moans of the woman. Without even thinking about it, one could tell what the men and women in the small forest were doing.

It turned out that this place wasn't deserted and desolate. At the very least, there would still be people who could find this place … Well, do that.

"Cough cough —!"

The woman's coughing interrupted the good news between men and women. The man in the small forest immediately became vigilant.

"Who?!"

In the middle of the night, in such a desolate place …

"Big brother inside, can you do me a favor?"

When she could not think of what to do, the heavens had done her a great favor.

The corner of Yin Qinghuan's mouth curled up into a faint smile as she stared at the calm surface of the lake. Soon, this place would no longer be tranquil.

At three in the morning, the police received a report.

A man witnessed a murder, saw a man thrown into the lake, and escaped.

When night came, the abandoned area became lively. According to the witness, the police had ordered the rescue team to go down to the lake to hunt for the victim.
