Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Took Revenge on the Wrong Person

"No! Lin Yi, debts should be settled with the rightful person—I’m not the one who harmed you! Please let me go!"

Gu Yan was so terrified that tears and snot streamed down her face as she screamed loudly, begging Lin Yi.

Lin Yi clenched the collar of her shirt with a mad laugh, pulling her slightly away from the edge.

"Gu Yan, in the end, it’s all because of you that I became like this! If it weren’t for you, your mother wouldn’t have set me up with Lin Qian. If I hadn’t gone on that blind date with Lin Qian, Yin Moran wouldn’t have crushed me, and I wouldn’t have ended up like this. Gu Yan, do you dare to say you’re not the one who ruined my life?"

Lin Yi stared at Gu Yan, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty frenzy. "Now, I have no money, no home, nothing at all! I can’t go on like this anymore, so I’m taking you to the grave with me! Weren’t your parents so fond of you? The most devastating way to hurt someone is to destroy what they love most, isn’t it? Sending their beloved daughter to her grave—that’s my revenge on them!"

These words finally made Lin Qian understand why Lin Yi had kidnapped Gu Yan.

So that’s the reason!

Lin Yi, now with nothing left, blamed everything on the Gu Family.

A reasonable conclusion, considering he used to be a respected man of status, but now had fallen to rock bottom—his mind had undoubtedly become twisted.

So, he came today with the determination to die?

Lin Qian’s feelings surged in waves.

While Lin Yi’s downfall was ultimately his own fault, the original cause was still tied to her.

If it hadn’t been for Yin Moran’s suppression, maybe...

"Lin Yi, you’re targeting the wrong person for revenge!"

After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Gu Yan shouted anxiously, "The person who turned you into this—wasn’t it Yin Moran? The one you should be angry with is him! He’s the one who crushed your company, the one who made you lose everything. If you want revenge, go after him! I’m the most innocent one here, so please, spare me!"

Again, Lin Qian’s troubles were the source of this mess!

This disaster-causing demon—that was why Lin Yi had kidnapped her.

If only she’d chosen Lin Yi back then—would any of this be happening now?

Upon hearing Gu Yan’s pleas, Lin Yi’s eyes burned with concentrated anger and hatred.

"Yes! And as for Yin Moran, do you think I’ll let him off so easily?"

Lin Yi’s gaze shifted to Lin Qian. He strode over to her and grabbed a fistful of her hair, forcing her to meet his eyes.

"Lin Qian, Yin Moran ruined me for your sake, leaving me with absolutely nothing. I was planning to deal with Gu Yan first and then settle scores with you two. How convenient—I thought it would take some effort to find you both, but I didn’t expect you to walk right into my hands! Perfect, let’s end this together! With both of you to accompany me on this journey today, even death will be worth it!"

With those words, Lin Yi laughed maniacally and began dragging Lin Qian’s arm toward the edge.

Was he planning to shove them over the edge to their deaths?

"Ahhh! No! Help!"

Gu Yan’s feet frantically kicked at the ground as she wailed loudly.

Lin Qian’s heartbeat accelerated, her face already devoid of color.

At the intersection of life and death, how could anyone claim not to be afraid?

Lin Qian swallowed, staring at Lin Yi’s deranged expression, and flashes of thoughts raced through her mind.

Thinking quickly, she shouted loudly, "Lin Yi, have you forgotten about your daughter? That sweet, adorable little angel—can you bear to leave her behind? Can you bear the future, when people ask her about her father, and she’s ridiculed for being the daughter of a murderer?"

She recalled how, during her blind date with Lin Yi, his entire demeanor had transformed into that of a doting father whenever he mentioned his daughter.

He had said he didn’t have many expectations.

All he wanted after marriage was for her to treat his daughter as her own.

So, while this man might have many flaws, his love for his daughter was genuine.

At this critical moment, she hoped mentioning his daughter would stir even a sliver of his conscience!

Sure enough, when Lin Qian brought up his daughter, Lin Yi’s movements froze. The madness in his eyes flickered with a trace of struggle and pain.

"My daughter? My little girl? I’ve failed her! It’s my fault she’s no longer the envy of everyone, no longer the adored little princess!"

Lin Yi’s eyes reddened, his mind flashing to his daughter’s bright, sparkling eyes as she sweetly called out to him, "Daddy."

He couldn’t bear to leave her, but he no longer had the courage to continue living.

Without the luxuries he used to enjoy, he couldn’t bear a life buried in dust. Nor could he withstand the stares of others.

Mockery, derision, disdain, contempt...

Just a few months at rock bottom had worn his nerves thin. He truly didn’t want to live this life anymore!

Seeing Lin Yi’s anguish and conflicting emotions, Lin Qian swallowed hard and forced herself to steady her voice, trying to appear as sincere and approachable as possible.

"Lin Yi, I admit some of the blame for your situation falls on me. How about this? If you release us, I promise I’ll have Yin Moran help you—help you restart your life. That way, your daughter can once again become the princess everyone admires."

She knew Lin Yi’s fragile nerves had reached their breaking point.

She had to be patient, speak kindly, and make him feel the sincerity in her words—maybe she could touch him, buy more time.

Yes, she needed to stall for time!

Before she was kidnapped, she had already reached out to Chu Yelin and Su Yu’an.

She prayed they would arrive in time to save them!

Hearing Lin Qian’s words and seeing the clarity in her eyes, Lin Yi’s gaze wavered slightly.

His lips moved as he hesitated, torn between hope and disbelief. "What you said... is it true?"

"It’s true. I wouldn’t lie."

Lin Qian nodded emphatically, doing everything she could to appear completely genuine.

Lin Yi stared at her quietly, studying whether her words were true or false.

After a long pause, the fleeting clarity in his eyes once again darkened.

He yanked Lin Qian’s hair, his voice dripping with sinister rage. "I almost fell for your lie! Lin Qian, do you think I don’t know you’ve already been dumped by Yin Moran? You said you’d get him to help me? Do you really think I’m that stupid? You’re trying to fool me, aren’t you? You just want to survive and then send me straight to prison!"

Every word reeked of venom and fury.

His grip tightened, making Lin Qian’s scalp throb with pain.

"I’m not lying! Lin Yi, even without Yin Moran, I know other people. If you release us, I’ll keep my word and secure funding for you!"

What a mess—Yin Moran, that bastard, why did he have to stir up a scandal with Qiao Xiya at such a critical moment!

She hated him to death!

"Yes, yes, Lin Yi! Su Yu’an is my fiancé. If you let me go, I promise Su Yu’an and my parents will help you succeed in business again!"

Gu Yan, trembling uncontrollably, echoed Lin Qian’s words in a shaky voice. Her teeth chattered audibly in fear.

Lin Yi said nothing, though his grip on Lin Qian’s hair relaxed slightly, and the fury in his eyes seemed to dim just a bit.
