Chapter 1154: Chapter 1154: The hatred in his heart grows with the passage of time.

Ni Shanshan, when asked her name, saw that her heart’s excitement was dissipated by the cool night breeze.

Her rationality returned, and she didn’t know why she had been so calm at the moment.

She heard herself slowly say, "My name is Ni Peipei."

In the decades that followed, she was sincerely thankful for her extremely calm response then, which gave her the chance to be with her beloved for a lifetime.

Chen Jingyi, upon hearing the name, displayed a gentle smile, "At first sight, I thought I had encountered a fairy; I didn’t expect it to be the cherished daughter of the Ni Family. Truly, as beautiful as your voice is sweet."

His tone was gentle, sounding extremely comfortable, and the smile on his face was very pleasing.

Ni Shanshan had never been so close to him before. Hearing his compliments, her heart went numb, and gazing at his increasingly mature and handsome face, her eyes stared fixedly.

The once thin and frail young boy had fully grown up, his brows and eyes deep and resolute, his temperament matured, transforming from a sunny and handsome youth into a reliable and charismatic mature man.

She could infer from Chen Jingyi’s tone that he wanted to get to know her.

All that talk of fairies, of beauty and sweet voice -- the girls who had pursued her in school were all beauties of the highest order; her own looks were merely above average among those girls.

His words revealing her surname showed that he had had his sights set on the Ni Family for some time.

But at that time, Ni Shanshan didn’t know whether he suspected her to be someone other than her sister; her heart was full of unease, and she found herself unable to utter a single word.

Chen Jingyi looked at her with gentle eyes and stepped forward to lift the strands of her hair that had been blown astray by the cold wind, his actions gentle yet somewhat overstepping, not how one would treat a stranger.

He gave a light chuckle and walked away with the dog.

Before he left, he said to Ni Shanshan, "Miss Ni, until we meet again."

After watching him disappear from view, Ni Shanshan could no longer hold back and collapsed to the ground.

She had been frightened by Chen Jingyi, but also felt sorrow and heartache for the person she had loved for five years, who had now come knocking at her door.

She knew that Chen Jingyi would one day seek revenge on the Ni Family; she knew the day would come sooner or later.

It was just that it came too soon.

Not knowing how long she had been squatting on the ground, when Ni Shanshan got up her legs were still trembling. She circled around her sister’s body, daring not to glance at it even once, and staggered into the house.

She had thought she would see her parents’ bodies, but did not expect that they were not home that night, having gone to a welcome banquet for a provincial leader.

By that time, the Ni Family was already a prominent figure in Qing City, attending social circles that many wealthy businessmen could not access.

The welcome banquet her parents attended was hosted by the father of Yu Kun, one of the beasts who had once harmed Chen Jingyi and his sister.

In that moment, the long-unfelt bloodthirsty hatred surged once more in her heart.

Ni Shanshan’s mind cooled down and she began to think from Chen Jingyi’s perspective, speculating about what his next move would be, why he hadn’t exterminated the Ni Family like he had with the others.

Was it because her parents weren’t home, and his attempt had been in vain, or perhaps he had other plans?

Given Chen Jingyi’s meticulous planning, he would have known the situation of the Ni Family before acting, and would have struck when their entire family was together. He did not seem the type to act on impulse, nor would he make such a fundamental mistake.

And so, only one possibility remained: he had other motives.

Ni Shanshan thought of the few ambiguous sentences Chen Jingyi spoke outside the courtyard, as well as the gentle manner in which he tied up her hair, which further cemented her belief that he did not annihilate the Ni Family; he definitely had other plans.

She suppressed the fear in her heart and calmly told the servant that she had lost an earring, asking them to go out and search for it.

This search led to the discovery of Ni Peipei’s corpse, and the servants’ screams echoed as they ran back inside to inform her of the body outside.

Ni Shanshan showed a shocked and scared expression. She trembled as she dialed the police, then called her parents to tell them something had happened at home.

The young miss of the Ni Family was dead, with no trace of the murderer.

The next day, the Ni Family announced to the public that the deceased was the eldest young miss, Ni Shanshan.

And so, Ni Shanshan lived on, having assumed the identity of her sister Ni Peipei.

Later, she met Chen Jingyi and became acquainted with him, eventually marrying and having a beautiful daughter with him.

The frequent deaths of wealthy businessmen in Qing City ceased, but every few years, some newly risen elites would fall from grace, and accidents involving wealthy individuals occurred.

During those years, every few years, Qing City would witness sensational events. It wasn’t just the downfall of the powerful; there were also accidents where entire families died – wealthy or influential, the tragedies evoked sighs of regret, yet did not arouse suspicion, with everything seeming like just another normal accident.

But the old lady who had lived on in place of her sister knew these were no accidents at all; they were all Chen Jingyi’s doing.

The hate in his heart had not faded with time, but grew stronger day by day.

Qin Ruan listened to the old lady recount the heavy experiences of the past, feeling deeply conflicted and unsure of how to judge the situation.

The voice speaking beside her suddenly stopped, and she looked up to see the old person’s lips curled in a bitter smile, their expression unspeakably sad.

Qin Ruan pursed her lips, not urging the other to continue.

The old lady suddenly turned her head to Qin Ruan and spoke faster, "Over these years, I’ve witnessed Jingyi take revenge on the enemies of the past with his own hands. A few years ago, the Yu Family fell as well.

They were the ’Emperors’ of the province, and it took Jingyi over a decade to take them down. Not a single family involved in hurting Jingyi’s sister escaped.

But he spared the Ni Family. I told them the truth, and I convinced them to let me take my sister’s place. They passed away more than a decade ago, one after the other, and now only I am left in the Ni Family."

Qin Ruan knew why the Yu Family had fallen into such a state; Yu Kun was the main culprit who had completely destroyed Chen Jingyi in the nightclub booth years ago.

She softly asked, "Why did the old master spare the Ni Family?"

The old lady touched her aged face, her voice filled with sorrow, "Because I have a face identical to Ni Peipei’s, and Jingyi’s sister needed the energy from resentment to survive.

Back then, it was Ni Peipei’s boyfriend who took an interest in Jingyi’s sister. He tried his best to seduce her but was discovered by my sister Peipei. Instead of holding back her boyfriend, she led him to Jingyi’s sister, which resulted in the subsequent tragedy.

Jingyi, seeking revenge, killed repeatedly until, after Peipei’s death, most of the resentment in Jingyi’s sister dissipated, and she no longer had the Puppet Power to continue living in this world.

Jingyi married me for his sister’s sake; every time his sister saw my face, she wanted nothing more than to tear me to shreds. Her Puppet Power would grow stronger day by day,"

Qin Ruan calmly said, "Mr. Chen’s sister is no more, the Chen Family has no Puppets."

She was certain the Chen Family had no Puppets; apart from the man-made Evil Qi, the place was spotless.
