Feng Zhengyang recalled the feeling of losing control just now, and he became increasingly certain that Lü Lu had come to seek revenge on him. If he wasn’t possessed, he would never have mistaken a grown man for his girlfriend who had been dead for over a year. And those needle-like pains on his body that couldn’t be detected at the hospital – he didn’t believe they appeared out of nowhere.
Feng Zhengyang never expected Feng Zhengdong to arrive at such an inopportune moment.
However, Feng Zhengyang didn’t expect Feng Zhengdong to suddenly push him into the room.
His heart suddenly panicked, thinking he had been discovered, and for an instant, he even harbored murderous intent towards his own brother.
Fortunately, Feng Zhengdong’s next words quickly dispelled Feng Zhengyang’s crazy thoughts. He pressed Feng Zhengyang down and whispered in his ear: “Big brother, I’m here to inform you that the police are already onto you.”
Feng Zhengyang almost fainted. He grabbed Feng Zhengdong’s clothes and steadied himself, asking in a low voice: “What exactly is going on? Why are they watching me?”
Feng Zhengdong spoke softly: “I have friends at the police station. I vaguely heard them say the police suspect you’re involved in a murder case, but I don’t know the specifics. Are you still planning to stay at the temple? I’m telling you, there are police watching outside your house. You can’t go anywhere.”
Feng Zhengyang didn’t hesitate: “No! I must go!”
He met Feng Zhengdong’s somewhat surprised gaze and realized he was too excited, so he added: “I can’t sleep at home thinking about my sister-in-law. Even if I don’t stay, I want to get a peace-blessing charm or something.”
“Then I have an idea,” Feng Zhengdong said. “Anyway, the police saw me come in. When I go out later, I’ll hide you in the trunk and take you there. But let’s be clear, we must return before dark.”
It was indeed a good plan. Feng Zhengyang agreed immediately, and they successfully evaded the police.
Feng Zhengdong then released Feng Zhengyang from the trunk and placed him in the passenger seat.
As the car gradually drove towards the suburbs, the fresh air entering through the window relaxed Feng Zhengyang’s mood.
Feng Zhengdong drove, casually asking: “Big brother, how are you so unlucky? Before the incident with my sister-in-law is resolved, you’ve inexplicably been implicated in another case. Are you at odds with the police, or did you kill someone?”
Feng Zhengyang glanced at him, seeing Feng Zhengdong smiling as if joking, and said: “What nonsense. How could I kill someone! Especially my sister-in-law. I loved her so much. I’m hoping to catch the murderer and avenge her! She definitely wasn’t killed by me.”
Feng Zhengdong said: “Of course I believe you didn’t kill my sister-in-law…”
With this sentence, the car suddenly turned and stopped by the roadside. Feng Zhengyang was stunned. He saw Feng Zhengdong slowly turn his head, smiling and saying to him: “Because… I’m the one who killed her.”
The air in the car seemed to freeze instantly, with the two brothers facing each other – one with a smile, the other in shock.

A moment later, Feng Zhengyang quickly opened the car door, about to jump out.
Feng Zhengdong’s reaction was even faster, grabbing Feng Zhengyang and pressing him against the seat back, taking out a syringe and injecting a sedative.
Feng Zhengyang struggled violently, but the drug quickly took effect, and he couldn’t move.
Feng Zhengdong then let go of him, wiping his hands with a wet tissue. He leaned back in his seat, resting for a while, then took out a bottle of alcohol and drank half of it.
Feng Zhengyang’s spine went cold. His tongue was numb from the drug, and he barely squeezed out a few words: “Why?”
Feng Zhengdong looked at him.
His eyes were pitch black, his gaze icy, yet his face still wore a mask-like smile that was chilling.
Feng Zhengdong slowly raised his hand, pouring the remaining half bottle of alcohol on Feng Zhengyang, who couldn’t open his eyes from the liquid. He heard Feng Zhengdong softly say: “Do you know, I was the first to arrive in Changxiang Village, the first to see Lü Lu?”
Feng Zhengyang stammered: “What… what are you saying?”
Feng Zhengdong swung the beer bottle and smashed it on his head, making Feng Zhengyang see stars.
Feng Zhengdong coldly laughed: “Developing the resort was originally Dad’s plan and should belong to whoever makes the best proposal. Why could you go but I couldn’t? To beat you, I went to investigate ahead of time. Lü Lu and I were actually on the same train!
His emotions grew more intense: “But what happened? Everything was yours – the company was yours, Lü Lu was yours! I never dared to compete with you since childhood, but why did you kill her? Since you killed her, I’ll kill Wen Qianqian! I’m avenging her. This is karma! I’ve tolerated you for so long, Feng Zhengyang!”
Blood flowed down Feng Zhengyang’s head. Dizzy and disoriented, he knew he was in mortal danger, and repeatedly said: “You’re mistaken. I didn’t… How could I kill someone? Brother, we’re family. Stay calm. Let me explain! Who told you this?”
Feng Zhengdong sneered: “I saw it with my own eyes! You can cover everything up. In that remote place, even if I reported it to the police, you’d find a way to clear yourself. What’s the point of you getting just a few years in prison? I want you dead!”
Just as Feng Zhengyang was about to speak, his eyes suddenly went blank. Right in front of the car window, he saw Lü Lu floating in mid-air, wearing that ambiguous, almost-smiling expression, gazing at him.
Feng Zhengyang let out a hysterical scream, and Lü Lu’s figure suddenly disappeared. Feng Zhengyang went mad, shouting: “Lü Lu! Lü Lu!”
Feng Zhengdong punched him from behind: “Stop howling! This is because I drugged you, you guilty and stupid thief!”
The punch was insignificant compared to the pain. Feng Zhengyang was once again experiencing a needle-like pain all over his body, this time more intense than ever. He screamed frantically: “Look!
Look ahead – it really is Lü Lu! There’s a ghost, a ghost, she’s come to claim my life!”
Feng Zhengdong was stunned, a strange feeling suddenly rising in his heart. He looked ahead, carefully asking: “Is that you… are you really here?”
The front was empty.
Feng Zhengdong hurriedly said: “Have you left? Don’t go, let me see you. I’m avenging you, look how I’m going to avenge you!”
Feng Zhengyang stared wide-eyed, hoarsely saying: “She’s gone!”
Feng Zhengdong spoke incoherently: “She must be blaming me for taking so long to kill you. I’m going to kill you!”
Just as he was about to press harder on the accelerator, a chaotic sound came from behind, with someone shouting: “The person is right there!”
“Quick, chase!”
Feng Zhengdong turned back and saw police cars behind him. He immediately stepped on the gas, and the car sped forward with the two of them.
The police behind used a megaphone: “Feng Zhengdong, stop the car. There’s a cliff ahead! If you cooperate with the police, you can get a lenient treatment!”
Feng Zhengdong ignored them and continued to speed.
Feng Zhengyang shouted: “Didn’t you hear the police? There’s a cliff ahead! Stop driving, you’ll die too!”
Feng Zhengdong coldly laughed: “Of course I know. I’ve long stopped wanting to live!”
His speed was extreme.
The police chasing were people Luo Mingbai had asked Dai Dayu to notify in a hurry, who didn’t fully understand the case. After several failed attempts to stop him, they realized Feng Zhengdong seemed to have no other purpose than to die.
Amid cries of alarm, as Feng Zhengdong’s car was about to rush to the cliff, a silver-white car suddenly came from another direction, leaping off the ground and throwing up gravel and stones, charging in front of Feng Zhengdong’s car.
