Both parties fell into silence once more.

The one to break the silence was still Li Qin, who took the initiative to ask a simple question.

"Why are you doing this?"

The woman looked at the young girl sipping tea with milk, seemingly carefree, and couldn't help but wonder, "I'm curious, did something happen to him? How much resistance did you face to go through all this trouble?"

Her words hit the young girl's heart. She sighed softly, suddenly feeling that confiding might not be such a bad idea.

After all, this was their last meeting. She had to make Li Qin disappear, become an invisible person who couldn't be held accountable. To make the other party obedient, she had to pay a certain price...

She glanced at the woman in front of her. Although she was reluctant to admit it, the woman did have many similarities with herself.

Moreover, she could feel that the woman was very powerful, and in the face of absolute strength, disguising became a very foolish thing.

Didn't she want to use her for amusement? Then let it be as she wished.

In an instant, the young girl's brow relaxed, and she sneered coldly before continuing:

"About a month ago, I remember I was seriously ill, and he took care of me. When I woke up, I finally mustered the courage to confess to him, but it scared him away..."

"Later, because of a fight in college, my parents were called, and he came back to me... Unfortunately..."

The young girl muttered, shaking her head self-deprecatingly, looking at Li Qin, who was still playing the role of a faithful listener, and sneered:

"Unfortunately, I was too hasty that time and scared him away... He stayed outside for many days..."

"During those days, I figured out many things, about him, about me, about our future."

"I can't live without him, and I can't stand seeing him with other women. I don't want any so-called cake, I just want him... just him..."

"So I lied to him, saying I was wrong, wrong because..."

As she spoke, her tone became more determined, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:

"Wrong because I didn't tie him firmly to my side!"

Hearing this, Li Qin's smile widened, and she leaned in closer, no longer maintaining her professional demeanor:

"Can you tell me? What are you planning to do?"

More unexpectedly, Chen Xi suddenly pulled a dagger from her sleeve and aimed it straight at the exposed carotid artery of the other party!

In a flash, the woman, who should have been in her fifties, suddenly burst out with unimaginable speed, turning her head to dodge, raising her elbow to block, reversing to seize the blade, and subduing her by the shoulder.

The entire process took less than two seconds.

"Interesting, I'm curious, how did you discover my true identity?" Li Qin's lips curled into a sinister smile, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

But the subdued young girl showed no fear. Instead, she looked at the other party with a disgusted expression and said with difficulty:

"Height can be faked... voice can be changed... demeanor can be practiced... but no matter how strong the stuff in that bowl of tea was, it couldn't cover up your fox-like smell!"

"Moreover... even if the haunted house was dark... and noisy... and you tried to hide with strange behavior, those footsteps... were problematic!"

"Let me go... Bone!"

Having her identity exposed, Li Qin's grip tightened, her eyes revealing a madness completely different from before:

"Not bad... really not bad! Chen Xi, I can hardly imagine a nineteen-year-old girl having such strong analytical skills. If it weren't for this situation today, I might have introduced you to the boss, but unfortunately..."

"You shouldn't have been so clever! Did you think you could kill me? A little girl like you, who hasn't even grown up yet, thinks she can!"

"Damn it... I... am the White Tiger!" Chen Xi cursed, even though she was pinned face down on the sofa, she remained undaunted, exuding confidence:

"Bone... you were too careless... I already know your temporary identity and appearance... Before coming here, I set up a timed email online... If I don't return today... it will automatically be sent to the police... We... will go down together!!"

The young girl had also fallen into madness, no longer struggling, but with full confidence, she commanded:

"Bone! No... Li Qin! If you want to live, do as I say! After today, we owe each other nothing!"

The woman behind her gritted her teeth so hard they creaked, yet she was helpless, only blaming herself for not expecting Chen Xi to deduce her identity in such a short time...

And more importantly...

She had clearly taken a shower! There was air conditioning in the room, she hadn't sweated much, was her body odor really that strong!? Was this little girl a damn bloodhound!?

But at this point, both of them had already come to terms with the situation in their hearts.

Li Qin released Chen Xi, and then...

Was cursed at by her.

The young girl first rubbed her sore shoulder, then pointed at Li Qin's face, unable to hold back any longer:

"Li Qin, if you keep looking at me with those damn lesbian eyes, do you believe I won't send those things to the police right now!?"

"Don't be so angry," Li Qin smiled, no longer the calm professional she was before, but more like a sly fox, wagging its tail, whispering in Chen Xi's ear:

"Honestly, have you ever considered joining us? Do it once, and you'll never have to worry again!"

"Give me a break," Chen Xi sneered, retorting, "How many times have you succeeded? Did your boss let you go? The more you know, the faster you die. Such a simple truth, and you don't understand it. You call yourself a psychologist, you should consult yourself first!"

Touched on her professional sore spot, Li Qin couldn't hold back, sighing:

"Alright, alright, just say a few words. I've been cursed by you so many times before, and I didn't get angry. Besides, you knew I would agree to help you, didn't you?"

"Yes," Chen Xi continued to sneer, mocking, "Looks like you have some brains, knowing to be filial to your father."

"But next time, be careful. Psychologists are human too, even the most professional ones have tempers. Your acting is too stiff, and playing along with you is exhausting."

This made Li Qin laugh in exasperation, holding her forehead with a helpless expression:

"You... you... really live up to my evaluation of you, a cautious genius, well-deserved."

"Who are you? Do you have the right to evaluate me? An old woman with graying hair, do you have the right to evaluate me?" Chen Xi continued to curse.

"Graying hair?" Li Qin looked puzzled: "I'm a woman, where would I have hair that turns gray... Oh, you little brat! Don't run! Auntie is going to shave your beard with this dagger today!"

"Screw you! I am the White Tiger!"
