Lin Xinran was wearing a peaked cap and a dark purple coat. The hat was pressed down very low, covering most of her face. When she opened the door and entered, she didn't have a strong sense of presence, and basically no one in the restaurant recognized her.

Chu Qingli looked up at the watch, and spoke indifferently.

"Miss Lin, you are fully two hours late."

Lin Xinran looked indifferent, put the bag on the table, and sat down lazily.

"As a big star like me, people will recognize me wherever I go. Naturally, I have to disguise myself. If someone finds out, our plan will be over. I think Miss Chu should understand this truth?"

Chu Qingli's eyes froze.

Lin Xinran covered her mouth and snickered: "Oh, I said the wrong thing, it should be Mrs. Yang. Because Young Master Yang doesn't admit it, when we are alone, I always subconsciously regard you as an unmarried woman."

The anger in my heart surged up, and was quickly suppressed deeply.

Chu Qingli's face was expressionless: "Miss Lin, both parties know the importance of what we are going to talk about today, so there is no need to waste time on such meaningless bickering, right?"

Lin Xinran smiled: "That's right, it's completely unnecessary. My announcement schedule is very tight. If I waste one more minute, I will lose a lot of money."

Chu Qingli let out a sigh of relief and warned herself that it is completely unnecessary to argue with a woman like Lin Xinran.

"Then let's get straight to the point. I have already fished you out of prison as promised, and I ask Miss Lin to fulfill her promise."

Lin Xinran chuckled: "Mrs. Yang, you are really naive. I was not at the scene of the car accident between you and Ms. Zheng. I said I knew the truth, but you really thought I knew? I also said I was Sherlock Holmes, Do you believe it too?"

Chu Qingli's face was congealed, and the corners of her mouth were pulled up slightly: "Could it be that Ms. Lin wants to go back on her word and cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"Yes, so what?" Lin Xinran was fearless, with fear in his eyes.

"Chu Qingli, you have released me on bail, and you have proved to the police that you accidentally fell down the stairs. I was released without charge."

"Since I'm innocent, why should I help you?"

With indifference in Chu Qingli's eyes, she slowly poured herself a glass of red wine, and her tone was unhurried.

"Then Miss Lin thinks that I don't have any bargaining chips now?"

Chu Qingli's calmness made Lin Xinran's smile froze.

Thinking of that person's words, the smile reappeared on his face a little bit.

"If Mrs. Yang had that ability, she wouldn't be able to get me out of prison. You said you were helping me, but you wanted to take a gamble."

"As for gambling, if you win, you will lose. As for the worst outcome, I think you must have expected it in your heart."

Chu Qingli took a sip of the red wine: "Indeed, I wanted to gamble, and I counted the worst outcome, but."

His tone paused, and he looked at Lin Xinran with a half-smile, "Ms. Lin is actually not as calm as she appears, otherwise why would she come to my appointment?"

Will come, it proves lack of confidence.

It can be explained that she has won part of the initiative.

Annoyance flashed across Lin Xinran's face: "You think I want to come? Seeing your face makes me sick!"

It was not the first time she was personally attacked by Lin Xinran, and Chu Qingli was no longer particularly angry.

She smiled slightly: "There are many ways to not want to see my face. The two most obvious ones depend on how Ms. Lin chooses."

"The two most obvious ones?" Lin Xinran giggled, "You want me to ruin your beautiful face?"

"Sure enough, different people have different ways of thinking. Ms. Lin, I clearly said so."

Chu Qingli took a breath, and the smile spread from her lips, but it couldn't penetrate into the depths of her eyes at all.

"You go to jail, or, you die."

"What!" Lin Xinran stood up angrily, waved her trembling hand, and overturned the tall red wine glass on the table.

The red liquid trickled on the table, swam past the line of sight, moved to the corner, and landed tick-tock.

The ink in Chu Qingli's eyes gradually thickened, and she whispered emotionally.

"Miss Lin, do you think that the color of this red wine is similar to the color of blood, if you don't pay attention, it is really possible that they will be mixed together?"

Lin Xinran's eyes widened suddenly, and her hands hanging by her sides were clenched tightly.

"Chu Qingli, you, what do you mean?"

He pretended to be calm, but the trembling in his voice betrayed his master's emotions.

Chu Qingli smiled lightly: "Miss Lin, your acting skills are really not good, no wonder there is still no progress after many years of watching the competition."

Lin Xinran's body was trembling, she pursed her lips, and stared fiercely at Chu Qingli.

Chu Qingli was fearless, and still slowly sipped the red wine under Lin Xinran's gaze.

The wine-red liquid was poured into the mouth, maybe he drank it too quickly, a few traces overflowed from the corner of his mouth and slid down to his chin.

"Sorry, lost my temper."

Lin Xinran's gaze was too strong, Chu Qingli saw her own reflection in her eyes, smiled slightly, and took a face towel to gently wipe the liquid from the corners of her mouth.

Those eyes, that smile, the liquid at the corner of his mouth... intertwined with the scene in the dream, it was shocking.

Lin Xinran yelled "Ah", her knees were weak, her legs were weak, she couldn't stand any longer, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Chu Qingli put down the tissue, walked towards Lin Xinran step by step, trying to reach out to help her up.

"Stop! Don't touch me!" Lin Xinran yelled, like a frightened deer, crawling quickly with hands and feet, and shrank behind the sofa.

Chu Qingli sneered, shrugged, and sat back to his original position.

Taste the wine slowly, and wait for Lin Xinran to calm down.

She didn't speak, the huge private room was empty, and with the gloomy effect of low pressure, it presented a gloomy feeling.

Lin Xinran's hands and feet were cold, her body was trembling, and she almost curled herself into a ball.

Chu Qingli didn't urge her, she still drank slowly, as if she didn't see or hear anything.

The power of quietness was strong, Lin Xinran finally recovered a little, looked at Chu Qingli secretly for a long time, and squeezed out a word from between his lips and teeth.

"Chu Qingli, what exactly do you want?"

She is not stupid, from the layout of the dating venue to the triggering of the details, to what Chu Qingli said just now, she already understands a little bit in her heart.

She was designed.

But even if he understands that he is caught in a trap, he has to find a way to protect himself.

"It's not what I want, but what you want, Ms. Lin." Chu Qingli glanced at her, his gaze was neither hot nor cold.

"I've given you the choice."

"What did my manager tell you?" Knowing that it was artificial, Lin Xinran finally overcame the psychological barrier and stood up.

Realizing that she had been betrayed, her eyes were full of anger.

Chu Qingli smiled: "Miss Lin didn't teach me, when you can buy someone, don't be stingy?"

Lin Xinran gritted her teeth: "Despicable!"

Chu Qingli shrugged her shoulders, her expression indifferent.

I have experienced so many things during this period, and even more vicious infamy, I don't care about this one.

"It's just a nightmare. Anyone can have it. Why should Ms. Lin be so panic-stricken? She frightened herself for no reason."

Lin Xinran was slightly startled, and narrowed her eyes: "You also have nightmares?"

"In such a place, witnessing the death with one's own eyes, and being charged with crimes and pressure, how could it be possible not to do it."

The corners of Chu Qingli's lips rose, and her eyes were slightly mocking, "But I'm very strange, I have nightmares because I am the person involved, but you are not."

"The so-called thinking day by day and dreaming at night, Ms. Lin is often troubled by nightmares, is it because there is some knot in her heart that cannot be untied?"

When Chu Qingli said the last sentence, her voice was harsh in vain, and Lin Xinran inadvertently bumped into her gaze, and the ice and snow inside condensed like a blade.

The body trembled unconsciously.

Chu Qingli took her reaction into his eyes, gently placed the goblet in his hand on the table, clasped his fingers, and spoke calmly.

"Miss Lin, we understand that people should open the window to talk. If you are tired from standing, sit down and talk slowly."

Lin Xinran's gaze froze when he touched the wet red wine liquid on the poke surface.

Chu Qingli understood, clapped her hands, and a service staff came in through the door.

"Excuse me, two guests, what are your orders?"

"The red wine was spilled all over the floor. It's an eyesore. Clean it up."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The waiter was quick to clean up the table and the floor, and Lin Xinran was still in a daze when someone went out.

Chu Qingli coughed twice and reminded: "Miss Lin, I'm leaving."

"Oh." Lin Xinran finally came back to his senses, and sat back in his seat in a daze, but he no longer saw the previous arrogance.

"Chu Qingli, I won't play around with you, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Chu Qingli spread her hands, and the smile deepened at the corner of her mouth.

"My purpose has always been very simple. Isn't Miss Lin very clear? Just fulfill the promise."

Lin Xinran cast his eyes on her face, his eyes didn't blink for a moment, as if he didn't want to let go of any of her expressions.

"Miss Chu, you really think highly of me."

Changed name again...

However, compared to the awkward Mrs. Yang, in Lin Xinran's mouth, "Miss Chu" is indeed more affectionate than "Ms. Yang".

"If I look down on you, I won't get you out of prison." Chu Qingli put away her smile and pointed to her head.

"Height on the third floor, severe concussion, almost unable to wake up, almost turned into a foolish vegetable."

"Miss Lin, you owe me your life. Tell me, why should I save you?"

Perhaps Chu Qingli's eyes were too seductive, Lin Xinran met her eyes, and felt so guilty.

He looked away, fell silent for a while, and bit his lip.

"I'm really sorry about Miss Zheng, I..."

"Miss Lin, you'd better think it over before you speak." Chu Qingli interrupted her with a hint of sternness in her eyes.

"Did you forget the previous two choices?"

Lin Xinran's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a low voice, "What choice?"

"Go to jail, or, die."

Lin Xinran looked down at the cold dishes on the table, her eyes flickering.

"I do not understand what you say."

"Don't understand? It's okay, I have time, I'll analyze it for you." Chu Qingli's lips curled into a deep smile.

"Inferior intentional homicide, even if it is attempted, should be sentenced to ten years in prison, right? Once in prison, Miss Lin's career in this life is over."
