The subordinate handed the package to Liu Xinna.
Lin Zhiyi quickly provided the unlock code.
Liu Xinna checked everything on the phone and computer, finding nothing but work-related materials and casual conversations, with none of the alleged videos or photos.
She frowned slightly, still unconvinced.
While cutting the ropes underwater with a shard of porcelain, Lin Zhiyi tried to divert the topic, "Miss Liu, if you believe I’m still hiding something, you can absolutely have someone who is familiar with computers and phones conduct a thorough search."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xinna did just that.
Seeing the progress bar flicker on the screens of the computer and phone, Lin Zhiyi breathed a small sigh of relief.
Her phone and computer were filled with four years of design data and manuscripts from college, which would be incredibly cumbersome to search.
This search provided her with just enough time to cut the ropes.
But just as she was about to cut through them, the search abruptly ended.
"Miss, there’s nothing."
Liu Xinna snatched Lin Zhiyi’s phone, somewhat incredulous.
At this moment, Lin Zhiyi felt a complex surge of emotions.
She really had to thank Gong Chen for deleting the evidence from her phone so thoroughly.
"Impossible!" Liu Xinna grabbed Lin Zhiyi, "Are you trying to play me again?"
Lin Zhiyi steadied herself, "And then wait for you to kill me? Miss Liu, you’re not stupid, think about it, why would I play you when I have no grudges against you?"
"You want to seduce Third Young Master, so you’re framing Song Wanqiu! You want to turn us against each other!"
"Would Miss Liu treat Song Wanqiu like you’re treating me?"
Liu Xinna choked for a moment and didn’t speak.
"You wouldn’t, because she has Third Young Master behind her. What would be the point of blaming her? But if I were dead, who would benefit? Miss Liu, I know I can’t escape today, and a dying person speaks good words."
Lin Zhiyi looked at Liu Xinna with a pale face and a hint of helplessness.
Liu Xinna hesitated and did not reply.
At this moment, Lin Zhiyi cut the ropes and moved her feet to break free from the ropes entwined around her body.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Zhiyi grabbed Liu Xinna’s legs and pulled her into the pool.
"Ah!"
The already murky and foul-smelling pool became even more turbid as Liu Xinna fell in, making it difficult for the people onshore to see the individuals underwater.
Lin Zhiyi had already memorized the direction to escape; she bit her lip and swam swiftly, ignoring the cuts from the scattered porcelain.
As everyone rushed to rescue Liu Xinna, Lin Zhiyi climbed ashore, with sewage mixed with blood dripping from her.
Just as Liu Xinna was also being lifted out of the pool by her subordinates,
Seeing Lin Zhiyi running away, she screamed, "Kill her! Kill her for me!"
Several men instantly pursued Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi didn’t dare stop and ran towards the safety exit.
But she had underestimated Liu Xinna’s malevolence; the exit was completely blocked by discarded chairs.
She could only scurry through the corridors like a headless fly, eventually hiding in a locker in the changing room.
Lin Zhiyi covered her mouth and nose, curling up tightly into a ball.
Only when the footsteps outside hastily moved away did she dare to lower her hands and breathe.
Just when she thought she had escaped disaster, the locker door in front of her was violently flung open.
In the dim changing room, a dark figure pulled her out of the locker and threw her against the corner of a wall.
Lin Zhiyi trembled in pain, completely devoid of the strength to struggle.
She looked at the person approaching, dressed in leather, wearing a motorcycle helmet.
The black visor obscured all visibility.
But she knew he was staring at her.
"Really useless, I have to clean up after you."
The man twisted his neck, and a daunting tone emanated from the helmet.
He picked up a rusty pipe from the ground and slowly approached Lin Zhiyi.
