Luo Yin was stunned. She quickly turned around, repeatedly checked if anyone was eavesdropping outside, and then locked the door.

She sat down by my bed, panicking: "Don't talk nonsense. Who can you kill? Xue Ze is still alive, isn't he?"

I shook my head and cried: "Do you remember last Saturday when I called you dozens of times?"

Luo Yin nodded: "That day my phone happened to be out of battery, turned off. Later, I called you back, and you said you had another dispute with Xue Ze, and he hit you. I told you not to be afraid, that I would find someone to teach that brat a lesson after I returned to the country. What happened? What really happened?"

I choked up, my voice trembling: "Xue Ze, in your name, sent me lilies, lace underwear, and a room card. I thought you wanted to reconcile with me, to make amends. But when I went there, I found Xue Ze's creditor, Zhao Peng, taking a shower. That scoundrel wanted to use me as payment! I, I got scared and grabbed something to hit Zhao Peng on the head. That night when Xue Ze came home, he hit me, saying I had ruined everything for him. Then Xue Ze suddenly disappeared. On the morning the police took me away, he sent me a photo."

Luo Yin hurriedly asked: "What photo?"

I burst into tears: "Zhao Peng's body. He also said, to control me in the future, he had installed surveillance in the hotel room. Originally, he wanted to record Zhao Peng violating me, to blackmail him, to offset the debt. But it happened to capture the moment I killed someone. Yin Yin, I'm finished. I will definitely be sentenced to death!"

Luo Yin rubbed my chest: "Don't be afraid. It was self-defense, you won't get the death penalty."

Me: "But I don't want to go to jail. I would rather die than spend my life in prison."

Luo Yin's face turned serious, pacing back and forth in the ward: "No wonder that brat arrogantly messaged me on WeChat, asking me for money, saying I would definitely give it to him."

I asked anxiously: "How much did he ask for?"

Luo Yin snorted: "Fifty million."

I exclaimed: "Is he crazy?"

Luo Yin cursed, sat beside me, looking at me guiltily: "At first, I did have the intention to play with you, to approach you on purpose. But later, I really fell in love with you. This brat Xue Ze caught onto this and used it to blackmail me, saying he lent me his wife and I had to pay rent. I was afraid you would hate me if you knew about my past with Xue Ze, so when he asked me for money, I gave it to him. Three to five thousand, I could afford that. But I didn't expect this brat to be so greedy now! Fifty million, where do I have that much cash?"

I wiped away my tears haphazardly, pulled back the covers: "Forget it, I'll turn myself in. I can't keep dragging you into this."

Luo Yin held me back: "Don't move around, be careful of your wound."

As we struggled, Luo Yin's phone rang. She took it out of her bag, her expression changing.

"Xue Ze."
