Chapter 1 Sunk Corpse at the Sea Bottom_3

Wu Jingyi hooked the corner of her lips smugly.

"Do you know who caused all of this? It was me. You failed the college entrance examination, and the admission notice you eagerly awaited never arrived. You thought it was because your score wasn't high enough, didn't you? Actually, I had someone steal your admission notice. You didn't know, did you? Your admission notice—it was actually burned by my own hands."

Huo Sining stood straight in the cabin, her face, which had remained somewhat calm, finally cracked.

Her eyes were fixed deadly on Wu Jingyi, as if flames were about to erupt from them.

"You wished to go to the Imperial Capital for college to escape the control of the scum of the Huo family. How could I let you have your wish? The Imperial Capital is the stronghold of the Liang Family. If you, the true owner, arrived and were recognized by the Liang Family people, wouldn't I, the fake, have to give up my place to you?"

Seemingly seeing the rage and unwillingness on Huo Sining's face, Wu Jingyi giggled as she continued to list accusations in a casual manner:

"Also, the drug that was slipped into your drink at the Shengtang Group's annual meeting—that was my doing, too. Unfortunately, you escaped too quickly, rendering the several acts I had prepared for you afterwards utterly useless."

"You! You maniac!"

Huo Sining's face was a mix of shock and fear, realizing those thugs that day had all been arranged by Wu Jingyi.

The face of a strange, rugged man flashed through Huo Sining's mind.

Indeed, if it wasn't for that man's timely help, she would certainly have fallen into Wu Jingyi's trap that night!

Just thinking about such a scene, Huo Sining's complexion turned deathly pale at once.

Wu Jingyi's face was blooming with a joyous smile, but her eyes were incomparably cold.

She reached out and quietly brushed aside the wisps of hair near Huo Sining's ear. Sure enough, there was a red birthmark behind Huo Sining's ear, boldly catching the eye.

"Initially, I only wanted to ruin you, not kill you. Unfortunately, you've been too lively. Without the Liang Family's heirloom, just a birthmark was enough to draw their attention. Hmph, it really seems that dead people are the only ones who can keep secrets. Tell me, if I sink you to the bottom of this sea, who will know that you are the true heiress of the Liang Family?"

"You're utterly heartless! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

It was only about transferring a personal amulet to someone else, and Huo Sining could never have imagined that such a routine action would bring about her doom.

The friend from her past had turned into a ruthless wolf in sheep's clothing, usurping her identity as the wealthy heiress—not only that, but Wu Jingyi also wanted to silence her forever.

Huo Sining's curses could not possibly reach Wu Jingyi's ears. Looking at Huo Sining on the operating table, she smiled faintly.

"Oh, right, I haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't so selflessly donated your heart, I doubt I could have connected with the Gu and Song families so quickly. In a few hours, your lively heart will become a part of the Young Master of the Song Family's body. Just thinking about it excites me!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining trembled uncontrollably all over, her anger boiling over, wanting to rush forward and fight Wu Jingyi desperately.

However, no matter how much she struggled, her body was completely immobilized.

Despair filled Huo Sining's heart, and before she could think of other strategies, she saw two doctors in white coats already approaching the bedside with scalpels in hand.

Wu Jingyi nodded her assent, and one of the medical staff picked up a syringe and injected it into Huo Sining's body.

The cold scalpel incised her abdomen, and she watched helplessly as the doctors extracted her heart from her body.

Then, her battered and incomplete body was dumped into the sea. The massive waves churned, and in an instant, her body disappeared from sight.

"No—"

Confronted with such a brutal scene, Huo Sining finally broke down completely, crying out in anguish.

But no matter how piercing and pained her cries were, no one could hear them.

Gradually, her consciousness grew blurry, and through tear-filled eyes, she saw the medical personnel passing a glass medicine box containing her heart to Wu Jingyi.

Wu Jingyi, with a harmless smile on her face and a hint of a cold smirk at the corner of her mouth, took the medicine box nonchalantly and walked out of the cabin as if nothing had ever happened...
