Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Internet Celebrity Ace (25)

Chuzheng glanced at the car parked below and hurried upstairs.

This was where Fu Chi had lived before he moved out, with no elevator, so Chuzheng ran all the way up.

When she reached Fu Chi’s door, she heard a woman’s screams from inside.

Without a second thought, Chuzheng kicked in the door.

A cold gleam of light flashed by.

Fu Chi stood in front of Fu Yi, one hand pressing against her neck, the other holding a knife stabbing towards her heart.

As Chuzheng kicked in the door, the knife plunged down.

Blood soaked through Fu Yi’s clothes, her eyes widened as the life slowly drained from her, succumbing to silence.

Fuck!

Dead, dead?!

There was only a half-second pause in Chuzheng’s mind, and then it started whirring rapidly.

Simultaneously, her body sprang into action. She rushed towards Fu Chi, grabbed his hand, pulled the knife out of Fu Yi’s body and, following the momentum of Fu Chi’s hand, she stabbed it back into his body.

Fu Chi looked at Chuzheng with a mix of shock and surprise.

Chuzheng’s expression was calm as she locked eyes with Fu Chi, and without even a moment’s hesitation, she pushed the knife further in.

Fu Chi’s body weakened: ”Why...”

Chuzheng held him, together they sat down on the cold floor.

[Congratulations, miss, on completing your first rewind in this domain. Loading...]

-

Chuzheng’s vision blurred and she was back outside the door, the woman’s screams coming from inside.

Without any time to spare, she kicked the door in once again.

The same cold gleam flashed by.

The scene from a moment ago flashed through Chuzheng’s mind, her wrist subtly flipped, and Yin Xian shot out, pulling the chair Fu Yi was tied to away, causing the knife to miss its target.

The chair fell over, and the woman screamed out loud.

Chuzheng grabbed Fu Chi’s wrist, pushed him back and snatched the knife from his hand.

”Fu Chi, what did I warn you about?”

The look in Fu Chi’s eyes was still like thick ink that couldn’t be dissolved.

Dark and oppressively heavy.

But now, there was a shadow of Chuzheng in his eyes.

First blurry, then slowly sharpening in focus.

Wu Fa and Wu Tian came up behind, standing at the door and blocking much of the light.

Fu Yi lay on the floor, so scared she couldn’t make a sound.

”What happened here...?”

There were footsteps and voices outside.

”Close the door,” Chuzheng turned to Wu Fa and Wu Tian.

Wu Fa reacted quickly, immediately ushered Wu Tian inside and closed the door.

Fu Yi looked like she wanted to scream, but Wu Tian covered her mouth.

Chuzheng pinned down Fu Chi, their bodies close together. Fu Chi, whose body was initially tense, suddenly relaxed, slowly wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her hair.

”There was a scream just now, right?”

”Didn’t the person living here move out already?”

”Must have heard wrong...”

”Is it the TV next door?”

The talking and footsteps faded away.

”Gag her,” Chuzheng ordered Wu Tian.

Wu Tian looked around, found a piece of rag, balled it up, and stuffed it into Fu Yi’s mouth.

Wu Tian even kindly propped up the chair for her.

Fu Yi’s tears streamed down her face; her makeup was already ruined, and she looked a bit frightening now.

Chuzheng paid no attention to her, pulled away the person holding onto her, and pushed him onto the nearby un-removed couch.

Fu Chi sat with his head drooped, his limbs withdrawn, on the worn sofa, which now seemed especially cramped.

And Fu Chi was nothing like the image of a man about to commit murder he’d been moments ago.

”Fu Chi, did you know you were committing murder just now?” If I hadn’t reacted quickly, you would be in police custody by now! You scared me, poor little me, life is just too unkind to me! But... the rewind still has its benefits. It prevented a murder. Great!

”I know,” Fu Chi said, his fingers pinching, creating crescent marks one after another.

Chuzheng took his hand: ”It’s alright now, it’s over.”

Suddenly Fu Chi looked up: ”I am fully aware, I knew what I was doing.”

You obviously know what you’re doing!

You’re so damn sober that not even a bastard would notice you’re turning evil!

”Knowing this, why do you still do it, how can I get you out if you get locked up?!” Chuzheng said in irritation.

Fu Chi hung his head like a child who had done something wrong, ”I won’t get caught.”

Seeing Fu Chi like this, Chuzheng wanted to scold him but found she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

She had no choice but to hold in her anger.

It took Chuzheng a long time to squeeze out a few words, ”You think you’re Superman.”

Fu Chi felt inexplicably that Chuzheng was a bit fierce.

”How did you find this place?”

”I should be the one asking you, you told me you were going shopping, what did you buy, a life?” Chuzheng’s tone was both cold and fierce.

Was it easy for her to find him?!

”Did you see what was on the internet?” Fu Chi said in a subdued voice, ”It was all done by my good sister.”

Fu Yi forced him.

He was like walking on a fine line, with Fu Yi at the other end, constantly shaking it, he could fall at any moment, falling into the trap meticulously prepared by Fu Yi and ending up stuck in the mud.

Chuzheng sat down on the sofa, ”What are you planning to do after you kill her?”

”...”

”If you kill her, will everything on the internet disappear?”

”...”

”If you kill her, can you solve all the problems?”

”...”

Chuzheng bombarded him with questions, and Fu Chi couldn’t answer any of them.

”You can’t, you can’t change anything, you’ll even become a murderer,” Chuzheng said coldly, ”I don’t want to go to prison with you, so I’ll find a way to get you out, and the outcome will be that we both become fugitives. Is this the result you want?”

If you don’t talk about the severity, the Good Person Card doesn’t realize the gravity of the situation.

So Chuzheng went straight to the worst-case scenario.

Let’s see if he dares to mess around again.

Fu Chi looked at Chuzheng, ”I didn’t think so...”

He had never thought that Chuzheng would go to such lengths for him.

Chuzheng leaned back on the sofa, not caring about the dust, and just sat there.

Besides Fu Yi’s sobbing, the room suddenly fell silent.

Carefully, Fu Chi tugged at Chuzheng’s sleeve, his voice hoarse as he explained, ”I don’t know what came over me at the time, I was just so angry, I felt like Fu Yi would ruin everything, including you...”

When they were young, Fu Yi was a qualified sister.

She was good to him, would stand up for him, and would save tasty treats for him...

But sometime along the way, Fu Yi changed.

She became someone whose eyes only contained money, materialistic, superficial, vulgar, no longer the Fu Yi of their childhood.

For the sake of money, her brother meant nothing, just a piece of merchandise that could be valued at any time.

Fu Chi couldn’t help feeling a bit aggrieved.

The more he spoke, the more painful it became.

In front of this girl, none of his armor worked.

He could lay all his vulnerabilities before her.

Fu Chi pulled on Chuzheng’s sleeve.

Chuzheng yanked her sleeve back, leaving Fu Chi feeling lost.

His body suddenly lurched, and he collapsed into Chuzheng’s arms.

Fu Chi stiffened, then without regard for anyone else in the room, he held Chuzheng like a child.

”Why did she expose your information on the internet?”

Fu Chi looked at Fu Yi.

”She said, someone... someone would first ruin my reputation, and when I had nowhere to turn, I would naturally comply with their arrangements.”

”So powerful,” whoever dares to target my people, damn thing thinks they’re impressive, huh.

Fu Chi counts as a public figure, losing his reputation is indeed more serious than anything...

Damn thing!

Must bust this damn thing’s head!
