Only after her death did I realize that she was the white moonlight of a billionaire CEO.

Chapter 188 Confession and Suicide

In the dark, sealed room, the stench of blood was so strong that it could not be ignored.

Ying Chengfeng used a blood-based paintbrush to finish coloring the last painting. He stopped painting, turned around, and glanced back at the bed behind him.

Noticing that Gu Huaizhou's breath was already very weak, he smiled and said, "There are only forty minutes left until the seven hours are up."

"Huaizhou".

Do you still think Li Xi can find you?

Due to excessive blood loss, Gu Huaizhou's reactions became even more sluggish.

After a long while, I heard his reply: "Yes."

Ying Chengfeng suppressed his smile, put down his palette, and said, "But I think she's going to lose this game."

Gu Huaizhou remained silent.

Seemingly finding it boring, Ying Chengfeng clicked his tongue and suddenly pressed the light switch.

A blinding light flooded into Gu Huaizhou's eyes.

He was slow to react, and by the time he remembered to close his eyes, his eyeballs had already been stimulated to the point that physiological tears were flowing.

With his eyes closed, Gu Huaizhou endured the pain for a while before slowly opening them a crack.

The first thing you see is not Ying Chengfeng, but the paintings covering the walls.

Gu Huaizhou stared at the sketches on the wall, rarely remaining still.

This was actually the secret room in his study!

What bound him wasn't an iron bed, but his painting desk, which explains why it was so sturdy and hard.

"Isn't it surprising that I would hide you in your secret base?"

Ying Chengfeng walked to the wall covered with sketches of left hands and asked Gu Huaizhou with some curiosity, "Does little Li Xi know about this room?"

Gu Huaizhou didn't even frown.

Ying Chengfeng nodded and said, "It seems she knows."

"When she saw these paintings, didn't she call you a pervert?"

Gu Huaizhou was a few beats slow to react before saying, "For lovers, these paintings are all about romance."

Romance.

Thinking of the portraits in his study, Ying Chengfeng suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

He rolled up his suit sleeve, glanced at his watch, and reminded Gu Huaizhou, "There are only thirty-five minutes left."

"If Li Xi loses this game, then the next 35 minutes are your last chance to give your last words."

"Do you have anything to say?"

Ying Chengfeng said, "I can pass on your message."

“You will die with me, and you will not have the chance to convey my last words.” Gu Huaizhou easily saw through Ying Chengfeng’s trick. “Ying Chengfeng, you never intended to leave this room alive.”

Ying Chengfeng's face darkened.

But he didn't get angry. Instead, he raised his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed, "Huaizhou, I have to admit, you are the friend who understands me best."

"As you said, I really didn't intend to leave this room."

"But I have left some last words."

Gu Huaizhou did not reply.

Ying Chengfeng asked him, "Aren't you curious about what my last words will be?"

Gu Huaizhou showed absolutely no interest.

It's nothing more than letting Ying Li go, letting Ye Luo and all the accomplices go, and so on.

But what Ying Chengfeng said next still shocked Gu Huaizhou. He said, "After I die, please use drones to scatter my ashes in every corner of the Ying family manor."

"Even if I die, my spirit will haunt the Ying family, making them restless for the rest of their lives."

Gu Huaizhou: "..."

A very unique last message.

But it has a very distinctive personal style.

Ying Chengfeng smiled gently, his expression refined and scholarly. He asked Gu Huaizhou with a leisurely air, "You really don't have any last words to tell me?"

Gu Huaizhou stared intently at Ying Chengfeng for a while, then suddenly said, "Li Xi has already found his way here."

"Right?"

Gu Huaizhou's voice was very weak, but his originally weak and lifeless black eyes became bright and clear.

He seemed certain that Li Xi had solved the mystery.

Ying Chengfeng asked curiously, "Why do you think that?"

Gu Huaizhou saw through Ying Chengfeng's true nature: "You are proud and arrogant. If you didn't know you had already lost the game, you would never have shown your hatred for the Ying family."

"Ying Chengfeng, you lost the game, didn't you?"

He lost the game and had no way out, which is why he gave his last words.

Ying Chengfeng's smile vanished as he stared at the sticky blood on the ground, his expression gradually turning strange.

"Gu Huaizhou, I regret it."

"I suddenly don't want to follow the rules of the game anymore."

He no longer wants to follow the rules of the game.

He could turn himself in, but he didn't want to give Gu Huaizhou a way out.

The thought that after his death, Gu Huaizhou could live happily ever after with Li Xi was unbearable for Ying Chengfeng.

"I'll kill you, and make little Li Xi suffer terribly, okay?"

Gu Huaizhou chuckled and said, "Ying Chengfeng, you still don't understand her."

"Oh?" Ying Chengfeng looked at him with a listening expression. "What do you mean?"

"Although Li Xi loves me, she will not be devastated by my death."

"She'll only be sad for a while."

"That's all."

It was clear that Gu Huaizhou wasn't lying to himself; he genuinely believed that Li Xi wouldn't be devastated by his death.

Ying Chengfeng suddenly felt some sympathy for Gu Huaizhou.

"It seems her love for you is nothing more than that."

Gu Huaizhou did not feel sad.

He is actually quite content.

It was an honor for him to have Li Xi's love.

If he was destined to die young, he still hoped to live a good life.

Although I feel heartbroken, I also feel at peace.

"you guessed right."

"Li Xi has indeed solved the mystery."

Drip, drip, drip...

The combination lock behind me suddenly started beeping.

Ying Chengfeng turned and stared at the combination lock, silently reciting in his mind: [Li Xi.]

The next second, the door was pushed open, and the owner of that name calmly walked into the secret room.

Standing at the door, Li Xi and Ying Chengfeng exchanged a silent glance for a moment before lowering their eyes to look at the large desk.

Upon seeing Gu Huaizhou, whose limbs were injured by steel wire and who was suffering from severe blood loss, Li Xi's usually calm brown eyes suddenly flashed with overwhelming killing intent.

She took a long breath, suppressing her anger, and told Ying Chengfeng, "Officer Zhou and the others are waiting in the living room."

"Ying Chengfeng... no, Chen Feng, or should I call you Fiya?"

Ying Chengfeng smiled gently and said, "I prefer to hear you call me Feiya rather than Ying Chengfeng or Chen Feng."

“Feiya.” Li Xi walked up to Ying Chengfeng and said, “You followed the rules of the game, turned yourself in, and told the truth.”

"Or is it against the rules of the game?"

"What should I do? I really want to break the rules of the game right now." Ying Chengfeng glanced at Gu Huaizhou, whose breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and deliberately provoked Li Xi: "The thought that after I die, you and Huaizhou can be together forever makes me really unhappy."

Li Xi frowned.

Ying Chengfeng added, "I can imagine that if I died with Huaizhou, you would grieve and shed tears for him, but you wouldn't even look at me. That makes me even more unhappy."

Li Xi couldn't stand it anymore, "If you're unhappy about this and unhappy about that, then you might as well just die."

Li Xi handed him the knife she had been carrying on her back, saying, "Go to hell, I've already prepared the knife for you."

It was an ordinary fruit knife, but it was enough for Ying Chengfeng to use to commit suicide.

"You are so heartless to me." Ying Chengfeng's sadness was hypocritical.

Li Xi's desire for him to die was very strong. She sincerely said, "I only feel affection for humans and pets, and I never feel affection for animals."

Upon hearing this, Ying Chengfeng laughed nervously.

"kid."

"You still have such strong likes and dislikes."

Ying Chengfeng stared at Li Xi with fascination. He reached out and took her hand, taking the knife from her.

The next second, Ying Chengfeng quickly pressed a fruit knife against Li Xi's neck.

"It should be presented as wind!"

Gu Huaizhou's eyes were bloodshot with rage. "Don't hurt Li Xi!"

Gu Huaizhou struggled again.

With this struggle, the steel wire binding him tightened even more.

Immediately, even more blood flowed out.

"Gu Huaizhou, don't move. He won't kill me." Li Xi's tone was as calm as ever, and even her breathing was perfectly steady.

Ying Chengfeng asked Li Xi, "Aren't you worried that I'll kill you?"

Li Xi: "Evil dragons can never bear to harm the treasures they love."

"Haha!" Ying Chengfeng laughed heartily and happily.

"you're right."

"You are my treasure, and I really can't bear to hurt you."

Holding Li Xi hostage, Ying Chengfeng turned to Gu Huaizhou and sighed, "Huaizhou, I've been forgetting to tell you this."

"Actually, I have always regarded you as my most outstanding student."

"Gu Huai'an's only merit is that he used his own flesh and blood to make you an excellent anatomist."

"Huaizhou, you've learned very well."

After saying that, Ying Chengfeng laughed heartily and pushed Li Xi out of the secret room.

Officer Zhou and his team stood guard in the corridor outside the study, each armed and watching the room with vigilance and seriousness.

Seeing that Ying Chengfeng had taken Li Xi hostage, Officer Zhou was terrified and quickly shouted, "Ying Chengfeng, don't panic, don't hurt Miss Li, don't..."

Ying Chengfeng reminded Officer Zhou: "Officer Zhou, please be quiet, I have a few words to say."

Zhou Chiye noticed that Li Xi kept giving him meaningful glances, which meant he could rest assured.

Zhou Chiye then nodded to Ying Chengfeng, "Go ahead and speak."

Ying Chengfeng seemed to have prepared a draft in advance. Without the slightest hesitation, he stated in a straightforward manner: "My name is not Ying Chengfeng. The real Ying Chengfeng died 13 years ago in a bar in Country Y."

"The cause of death was a drug overdose and excessive excitement."

"I am just Ying Ru'an's illegitimate son, originally named Chen Feng, an orphan with a difficult childhood."

"Although I'm an orphan, I've met the most radiant father and daughter in the world. Chen Rudong, who was killed by Gu Huai'an 13 years ago, is my adoptive father, and actress Chen Cheng is my adoptive sister..."

“Thirteen years ago, I used the excuse of my financial support to threaten Grandpa Chen’s adopted sons into helping me plan that kidnapping. Although they participated in the kidnapping, they were all forced into it, and they did not harm the three victims of the Gu family.”

“I killed Gu Huai’an and the other two. I was the mastermind.”

"Don't ask me why I killed Gu Huai'an's parents."

“It is the father’s fault for not raising his children properly. Gu Huai’an treated human life as worthless, and his parents cannot escape blame. I killed the three of them not for justice, but simply to vent my hatred.”

"I devised three different plans of retaliation based on the severity of their crimes."

Ying Chengfeng said in a calm voice:

"Gu Huai'an should be torn to pieces and his bones crushed to ashes."

"The Gu Ting'an couple should have been crushed to death like the innocent Grandpa Chen..."

...

Ying Chengfeng spoke for more than ten minutes just to confess his crimes.

Outside the corridor, Officer Zhou and his subordinates and colleagues had been police officers for many years and were considered experienced.

But they were still taken aback by Ying Chengfeng's statement.

The huge apartment 2301 was eerily quiet.

Only the sound of the wind kept ringing out...

“I confess that I am the real culprit who caused the tragic deaths of Gu Ting’an, his wife and their eldest son Gu Huai’an 13 years ago.”

“I confess to all the crimes.”

"But I did nothing wrong!"

After saying the last word, Ying Chengfeng suddenly raised the fruit knife in his hand.

"careful!"

Officer Zhou instinctively rushed forward to rescue Li Xi.

Meanwhile, Chu Ying, a sniper hiding in a high-rise building opposite the apartment building, had already set his sights on Ying Chengfeng.

The instant Ying Chengfeng pushed Li Xi away, Chu Ying also fired his gun.

The sniper rifle bullet and the police officer's pistol bullet simultaneously struck Ying Chengfeng in the chest cavity.

Ying Chengfeng knelt straight down on the ground.

He was dying.

It wasn't a sniper bullet or a police handgun bullet that took his life.

It was the fruit knife.

He cut his own throat open with a fruit knife.

Ying Chengfeng knelt on the ground, still holding the fruit knife in his right hand.

His body convulsed unconsciously, his gaze fixed on Li Xi's direction...

Zhou Chiye breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken. He helped Li Xi up and asked worriedly, "Miss Li, are you hurt?"

Li Xi shook her head. "I'm fine."

She pushed Zhou Chiye away, turned around, and without even glancing at Ying Chengfeng, rushed past him into the secret room inside the study.

*

Gu Huaizhou has lost too much blood and his life is in danger.

Thanks to Li Xi's meticulous planning, she arranged for Gu Han to notify the hospital to prepare enough blood bags in advance, allowing Gu Huaizhou to receive a timely blood transfusion and pulling him back from the brink of death.

When Gu Wentao arrived at the hospital, it was almost dawn.

He already knew that Gu Huaizhou was out of danger, so after arriving at the hospital, he was more concerned about Li Xi's condition.

Seeing that Li Xi's clothes were stained with a lot of blood, he was quite frightened and quickly took Li Xi's hand and asked with concern, "Xi'er, is this blood Huai Zhou's, or are you injured?"

"I heard Ying Chengfeng took you hostage. Are you hurt?"

Seeing the old man's genuine concern, Li Xi felt a warmth in her heart. She shook her head and said, "I'm not hurt."

"Some of the blood on my body is Huai Zhou's, but most of it is Ying Chengfeng's."

"Huaizhou is out of danger and will be transferred to a VIP ward soon."

After a pause, Li Xi told Gu Wentao, "Although Ying Chengfeng confessed to his crimes, he committed suicide."

"I've heard about it." Gu Wentao wasn't surprised by the outcome. He said, "Dr. Ying..."

"I've gotten to know Ying Chengfeng a bit over the years."

"It is impossible for him to go to court and face legal punishment."

"Suicide was his only option."

“But…” Gu Wentao thought of Ying Li and said, “With Ying Chengfeng dead, what about that child, Ying Li…”

"Ying Li is no good. She knew all along that Ying Chengfeng was a murderer."

Gu Wentao was taken aback. "That child already knew?"

"more than."

“Last night, after Ying Chengfeng kidnapped Huaizhou, when I went to the Ying family to look for clues, she guessed where Huaizhou was hiding, but she didn’t tell me. Instead, she played games with me.”

“Grandpa, Ying Li is not an ordinary child; her values ​​have been warped.”

Gu Wentao frowned, thought for a long time, and then said, "I will find someone to send her back to Y country."

Li Xi felt that this was not enough. She said, "Sending her abroad is not enough. We must make sure she can never set foot on our territory again."

Ying Li is inherently twisted and lacks a sense of right and wrong; she will most likely become a bad person in the future.

This girl can't come back.

Gu Wentao thought for a moment before saying, "I will discuss this matter with Huaizhou's eldest uncle."

Thinking of his uncle's position, which involved protecting national security, Li Xi finally felt at ease.

With the dust settled, Li Xi finally felt mentally exhausted.

"Grandpa, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xi collapsed straight down.

Fortunately, Chu Xu reached out quickly enough and caught her in time.

“Miss Li must be exhausted from last night, sir. Let me take her to her ward to rest.”

"well."
