Xu Zeqing not only didn’t let go, but he also raised his left hand, subconsciously wanting to hit Xu Xingguang. "I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter!"

But before his fist could reach Xu Xingguang’s face, a sudden sharp pain shot through his right wrist.

Xu Zeqing looked at his right wrist in astonishment and saw a scar there, cut open by something sharp that Xu Xingguang held.

The intact skin was cut open, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Ah!"

Only then did Xu Zeqing feel the pain.

His face twisted in agony, and he instinctively let go of his right wrist.

He finally saw that Xu Xingguang’s right hand held a weapon resembling a black hairpin, and her dazzling dark hair had somehow all fallen loose.

Xu Xingguang smiled and elegantly gathered her long hair with the black hairpin again, saying courteously, "I warned Mr. Xu to remove your filthy hand in time, but Mr. Xu wouldn’t listen, would he?"

"Xu Xingguang, you’re killing someone!"

"Wrong." Xu Xingguang gave a gentle smile and reminded Xu Zeqing, "We severed our father-daughter relationship a long time ago. Mr. Xu, as an adult single male, broke into the home of a single woman like me alone and grabbed my collar..."

With a sinister smile, Xu Xingguang told Xu Zeqing, "This is called self-defense. Mr. Xu, don’t make false accusations."

Hearing Xu Xingguang’s distortion of the truth, Xu Zeqing only found it ridiculous.

"Xu Xingguang, you’re a scoundrel!"

"A scoundrel, am I?" Xu Xingguang shook her head, saying, "Since the day I was discharged from the hospital and discovered you had uprooted the daffodils my mother loved, removed her photos, and allowed You Mingyue to occupy my bedroom, I decided to be a notorious scoundrel."

"Mr. Xu." Xu Xingguang asked him with interest, "Does this feeling of tasting sweetness, gaining everything, believing you can reach life’s peak again, but then everything being shattered in an instant, feel good?"

Hearing Xu Xingguang’s question, Xu Zeqing was both incredulous and uneasy.

He suddenly realized that Xu Xingguang’s revenge seemed far from over.

"Xu Xingguang, what exactly do you want to do?"

Xu Zeqing pressed the wound on his wrist with his suit jacket, but the bleeding wouldn’t stop. In just a moment, he had bled all over the place, and his complexion visibly turned pale.

Yet, he wasn’t in a hurry to go to the hospital for treatment.

He just wanted to know what Xu Xingguang’s ultimate goal was.

"What do I want to do?" Xu Xingguang decided to be a good person and told Xu Zeqing, "I once thought of killing you directly for a quick fix. But just that, how could it be worthy of my mother, who jumped from the second floor and drowned in the river?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Zeqing’s pupils suddenly shrank. "You... how do you know..."

Xu Zeqing instinctively shut his mouth tightly, fearing he might say the wrong thing in a slip of the tongue.

Xu Xingguang sneered, "If you want people not to know, unless you’ve done nothing."

She said a name with an enigmatic expression: "Li Yucheng."

Upon hearing President Li, Li Yucheng’s name, Xu Zeqing’s heart skipped a beat.

Xu Xingguang had even uncovered President Li’s identity!

Could she have discovered the truth about Mo Yinshu’s death back then?

Looking at it this way, the big game Xu Xingguang set up wasn’t just to avenge the harm he and You Jingqiu did to Mo Yinshu and for the grudges of pulling out her oxygen mask intending to send her to a ghost marriage with the sickly member of the Huo Family.

What she truly hated was the fact that he and President Li teamed up to kill Mo Yinshu!

"Xu Xingguang, what do you want for this to end?"

"To gain everything and then lose everything is the most painful." Glaring at Xu Zeqing’s shadowy eyes, Xu Xingguang slowly revealed the ending she set for him: "Estranged from your wife and son, left with nothing, henceforth alone and dependent, suffering from the grind of the human world."

"Only then will I rest." After speaking, Xu Xingguang gestured towards the door, "Mr. Xu, please leave."

Xu Zeqing was unwilling to leave just like this, but the excessive blood loss from the wound on his wrist made him feel somewhat disoriented.

The condition of being estranged from his wife and child, he already met.

Then, having nothing?

Thinking of something, Xu Zeqing’s expression suddenly changed dramatically. "Xu Xingguang, could it be that the Southern City Longhu Shuilan project was also a trap you set for me?" All his assets were invested in that project.

If the Southern City Longhu Shuilan project was indeed a setup by Xu Xingguang for him and Li Yucheng, then she truly went for the heart!
