While driving there urgently, Xia Xianning suddenly recalled Peng Xuan’s previous words about how in his last life, he died because Luo Mingbai had pulled him to block a dangerous situation for herself.
Could this critical situation be referring to this moment? Did Peng Xuan desperately escape to Luo Mingbai’s location to find this turning point and rewrite the ending before his rebirth?
As soon as this thought emerged, he couldn’t suppress it. Xia Xianning was suddenly startled and frantically stepped on the gas, speeding away.
After sending a message to Xia Xianning, Luo Mingbai didn’t wait in place but immediately returned to where he had hidden Xia Zhihe and Xia Ni.
The building was surrounded by a barrier that prevented people from leaving, but movement inside was unrestricted.
Luo Mingbai quickly descended two flights of stairs, turned the corner, and saw someone else climbing up to meet him.
They encountered each other on the same section of stairs, stopping simultaneously – one at the bottom step, the other at the top, looking at each other.
Their eyes met, and Luo Mingbai strode down the stairs. The person opposite was startled and tried to run, but in a flash, Luo Mingbai blocked his path.
Luo Mingbai grabbed the person’s collar without hesitation, lifting him directly in front of himself, and coldly asked, “Are you Xia Zheng?”
Xia Zheng was shorter, nearly half a head shorter than Luo Mingbai, almost entirely lifted off the ground with his toes barely touching.
He looked at Luo Mingbai in terror, stammering, “What do you want?”
Luo Mingbai flicked his forehead forcefully and sneered, “Still pretending?”
The flick caused a black shadow to float from Xia Zheng’s body.
The shadow moved elusively, about to escape, when Luo Mingbai unexpectedly drew his knife with his free hand and struck, instantly cutting down the shadow.
Luo Yingbai said: “So you already knew that Xia Zheng is not Zhu Linya’s biological son, and there are conflicts between them. Therefore, you deliberately designed to make him grasp Zhu Linya’s secret of murder, bought that watch, and planned to use Xia Zheng to take revenge on Zhu Linya?”
