Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Hua Chaochao had no intention of answering them. As if she had a premonition, she looked up at the dark sky.

The sky was cloudless not long ago, but now a lot of dark clouds have gathered.

"It's going to rain today."

There was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

It’s good to rain. The heavy rain can add a lot of atmosphere to her "death".

there.

As Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen approached the cliff, two people emerged from the water.

No, to be exact, it was a living person holding a dead person.

When Hua Xi saw them, she froze in place for a moment, her mind going blank.

Ji Xianchen also had a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

"Uncle Qiu, you..."

Uncle Qiu didn't dare to look at the two of them. He carefully laid the lifeless "Hua Chaochao" flat on the sand. The hand that was supporting her head was covered in blood.

Hua Xi was so stimulated by the red color on Uncle Qiu's hands that she closed her eyes and her body began to shake. If Ji Xianchen beside her had not been quick to support her in time, she might have fallen down.

"Hua Xi, Hua Xi, listen to me, this may be a misunderstanding, this..." Ji Xianchen had never been so flustered as he was at this moment. His voice trembled and he tried his best to explain.

He didn't believe that it was Uncle Qiu who killed Hua Chaochao, but before he could finish, Uncle Qiu interrupted him.

"It's not a misunderstanding."

Uncle Qiu's expression was full of sorrow, "I was the one who killed her."

When Uncle Qiu found Hua Chaochao who had stopped breathing in the sea, he realized that everything could no longer be covered up.

Just as the word "she" came out, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire beach as bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening thunder exploded. The sound seemed to shatter the entire world. It echoed in the night sky and awakened countless people who were immersed in their sleep.

Yi Mu was naturally no exception.

He supported himself and sat up, covering his head with his hands. He felt a splitting headache, and with Happy barking in the room, he said impatiently, "Shut up."

Don’t disturb Hua Chaochao’s sleep.

But Happy still roared towards the balcony, his voice full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Happy doesn't bark much normally. Even if he does, he will shut up obediently after Yi Mu says a word or gives him a look. But tonight he was acting out of character and kept barking.

Yi Mu then slowly opened his eyes and found that he was the only one on the bed, Hua Chaochao was nowhere to be seen.

"Hua Chaochao." he shouted.

No one answered.

Only Happy's screams echoed in the room.

I don't know when the balcony door was opened. There was a strong wind outside and the curtains were fluttering in the wind. It was a sign that a heavy rain was about to come.

"Are you going back?" Yi Mu murmured.

This "go back" refers to Hua Chaochao returning to her own room.

Shaking his heavy head, Yi Mu threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and planned to close the balcony door.

As soon as his hand touched the door, Happy suddenly bit his trouser leg and refused to let him close it.

Yi Mu lowered his head and looked at Happy, which was obviously abnormal at this moment.

Then, he sensed a powerful aura of a martial artist coming from a distance.

He couldn't help but be stunned, because he knew who this aura came from -

Hua Xi.

Combined with Happy's abnormal behavior, Yi Mu felt a strong sense of fear in his heart.

He quickly ran to the balcony, and at that moment another flash of lightning flashed across, allowing him to see the scene on the beach clearly -

Hua Xi grabbed Uncle Qiu's collar, as if questioning something, and at their feet lay Hua Chaochao, who was pale and lifeless, and it was obvious that she was dead.

Happy was walking around anxiously, making whining sounds.

"No, it's impossible, that's not her." Yi Mu denied it, but he knew very well in his heart that if it wasn't Hua Chaochao, Hua Xi wouldn't have such uncontrollable emotions and release the aura of a martial artist.

He staggered and jumped from the balcony. His room was on the tenth floor, nearly thirty meters above the ground. He jumped without hesitation.

Seeing Yi Mu jump down, Happy called out twice again, his eyes full of anxiety and helplessness.

It really wanted to jump along, but it couldn't. It was not Yi Mu, and if it jumped down it would become a dead dog, so it could only run back quickly and run down the stairs quickly.

Over there on the beach.

Hua Xi tried her best to suppress the murderous intent surging in her heart. Her eyes were bloodshot, her hands were clenched into fists, and she stared at Uncle Qiu, almost screaming, "Why? Tell me why!"

Uncle Qiu tightly grasped the jade pendant in his hand. He remained silent and did not resist in response to Hua Xi's questioning, just like a lifeless dead man.

"Speak!" Hua Xi roared.

“Hua Xi…” Ji Xianchen wanted to persuade Hua Xi to calm down, but was stopped by her angry shout. She warned with a fierce look in her eyes: “If you speak up for him, I will kill you too.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xianchen immediately swallowed back the rest of his words, but his face was full of worry.

He was also very sad and could not accept Hua Chaochao's death, but Uncle Qiu had done him a favor, and he did not want Hua Xi to kill Uncle Qiu.

At this time, Uncle Qiu glanced at Ji Xianchen, and his eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.

He seemed to have made a decision, and finally said, "Let's do it."

Just as he finished speaking, there was another flash of lightning in the sky, followed by heavy rain that instantly soaked several people.

In the bushes nearby.

"It's raining, Captain, do we still need to stay and watch?" Li Biao asked while wiping the rain off his face.

He was holding a leaf that he had just plucked from the side, trying to use it to block the rain, but he found that it was of no use at all. The rain was too heavy and those who were supposed to get wet still got wet.

"Look, but let's go to another place to look." Hua Chaochao didn't want to stay and get wet in the rain.

She reached out and grabbed Li Biao and Lu Jie by the back of their collars, and instantly brought them to the hotel room where they had been staying for the past few days.

Li Biao and Lu Jie watched themselves squatting in the bushes outside one second and found themselves indoors the next. They were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.

His mouth was wide open and couldn't be closed for a long time.

Hua Chaochao ignored them and walked to the window. She looked through the window towards the beach and continued watching the show with interest.

"Please don't let me down."

Don't let the careful planning she spent these months on go to waste.

that side.

Hua Xi let go of Uncle Qiu's clothes, the rain slid down her cheeks, her voice was as cold as ice, "Give me a reason." Give me a reason not to kill you.

Her face was blurred in the heavy rain.

Yi Mu ran towards "Hua Chao Chao" like a madman, with grief and despair surging in his eyes like a bursting dam, and the pain seemed to swallow him whole.

He suddenly fell to his knees, his hands shaking uncontrollably like dead branches ravaged by the cold wind. He held her in his arms, hugging her tightly, as if he could keep her there.

The person who had said he would accompany him not long ago has now turned into a cold corpse.

When Hua Xi saw Yi Mu like this, she turned her head away, as if she couldn't bear to watch any longer.

After hugging for a long time, Yi Mu finally asked in a very hoarse voice: "Who is it?"

Under the seemingly calm questioning, the energy in his body was about to riot, as if it would explode at any time.

Uncle Qiu: "It's me, just kill me."

He seemed to be asking for death.

Yi Mu slowly put down 'Hua Chao Chao', stood up, and looked at Uncle Qiu with cold eyes, revealing an unconcealable murderous intent in his eyes.

Suddenly, he noticed a red thread sticking out of Uncle Qiu's clenched fist. He remembered that it was the rope that Hua Chaochao used to string the jade pendants.

"Why is her jade pendant in your hands?"

Yi Mu's clenched fists turned white due to excessive force. He stared straight into Uncle Qiu's eyes, "You recognize this jade pendant. You are Gu Tu."

Like Hua Xi, Yi Mu has always had a strange feeling towards Uncle Qiu.

He had previously suspected that Uncle Qiu knew his mother because on several occasions, he felt that Uncle Qiu looked at him with nostalgia, as if he was looking at another person through him, and his face was similar to his mother, so he inferred at the time that Uncle Qiu and his mother might be old friends.

As for whether Uncle Qiu was Gu Tu, he was actually not sure, so he was lying.

As expected, a flash of panic flashed across Uncle Qiu's eyes, and he quickly denied it: "I'm not."

At this tense moment, a few more people came running over in a hurry, and running in front of them was a white figure, it was Happy.

Happy was the first to reach the corpse. He lowered his head and sniffed eagerly twice, then raised his head and called out loudly.

"Woof woof! Woof woof! (She is fake! She is fake!)" Happy shouted anxiously.

Its voice was particularly clear in the rain, and it kept circling around the corpse, trying to attract everyone's attention.

Unfortunately, no one present could understand what it said, and no one cared about it.

But from a distance, a pair of eyes fell on it. Hidden in the darkness, those eyes looked at Happy thoughtfully.

"I almost forgot that it's different from other dogs."

Happy can recognize the unique aura of a person. Hua Chaochao knew this when she first met Happy.

Hua Chaochao sighed, a trace of displeasure on her face, "It's a bit difficult to deal with it here."

"It seems we have to find a chance to get rid of it."

Dongli and the other three hurried over in the rain, a step slower. Like Yi Mu, they sensed Hua Xi's aura and rushed over.

They saw the body on the ground at a glance. The four of them froze in their eyes, with expressions of astonishment on their faces. They shouted in disbelief, "Miss Chao Chao!"

"What did you say? What happened to Sister Chaochao?" Ji Xingyuan's panting voice came from behind.

He came over too. His hair was wet from the rain and stuck to his scalp. His clothes were also wet and mixed with sand. He looked extremely disheveled.

Ji Xingyuan was an ordinary person. He could not open his eyes in the heavy rain. He could only squint a thin slit, but he could not see clearly and mainly relied on listening.

He was sleeping soundly in the room when he was suddenly woken up by a thunder. He happened to want to go to the toilet, so he got up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and walked towards the toilet.

When he came out of the toilet, he heard hurried footsteps in the corridor outside. He was a little confused because almost all the people living on this floor were his own people.

So he opened the door and wanted to see who was still running outside in the middle of the night, and then he saw Dongli and the other four rushing towards the stairwell. Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly followed them out, completely ignoring the fact that he was still wearing slippers.

While I was running, my slippers got stuck on my ankle, and I stumbled and almost fell.

"Why is there a person lying on the ground?" Ji Xingyuan vaguely saw a person lying on the ground. He walked closer to the person, squatted down, and was shocked when he saw who it was. "Sister Chao Chao!"

"Sister Chaochao, why are you sleeping on the ground? Get up quickly!" Ji Xingyuan grabbed Hua Chaochao's shoulders with both hands and shook her gently, trying to wake her up. He did not realize that the person in front of him was already dead.

……

The two words "Gu Tu" were like a thunder exploding in Hua Xi's ears, and her body shook violently.

Her eyes narrowed instantly, as if pulled by an invisible thread, and she turned involuntarily to Uncle Qiu beside her. Her eyes were as sharp as a blade, fixed on his face.

The doubts that had been bothering me for a long time finally had an answer at this moment.

Why did she feel that Uncle Qiu looked familiar, but could not remember where she had seen him? It was because the face she saw was not his. He had changed his appearance.

She could never have imagined that Gu Tu was so bold as to follow them in disguise.

The hatred in her heart grew stronger and stronger, and Hua Xi clenched her fists tightly.

After a long while, Hua Xi looked at Ji Xianchen coldly, her eyes full of chill, "Do you know he is Gu Tu?"

Gu Tu? How could Uncle Qiu be Gu Tu?

Ji Xianchen's heart tightened and he shook his head in panic, "He doesn't..."

Before Ji Xianchen could finish his words, Hua Xi suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ji Xianchen's face with her palm, making a sharp sound.

"You still want to deny it!" Hua Xi shouted angrily, his voice echoing in the rain.

The loud slap was particularly clear in the rain.

"Third Brother!"

Dongli and the other three saw this and rushed to Ji Xianchen to protect him, "Ms. Hua Xi, did you misunderstand? Uncle Qiu is not Gu Tu."

In their minds, although Uncle Qiu was a bit serious, he could never be the big devil like Gu Tu!

"Get out of here." Hua Xi said coldly, her voice icy and bone-chilling, without a trace of emotion.

"Ms. Hua Xi!"

Seeing that Hua Xi was about to attack again, Uncle Qiu finally couldn't help but shouted: "Enough!"

"They are innocent, I deceived them."

"Uncle Qiu!" Dongli and the others couldn't believe their ears.

Did he admit that he was Gu Tu?

Under the gazes of five astonished people, Uncle Qiu slowly raised his hand, and his fingertips lightly touched the edge of the human skin mask that had been with him for a long time. Then, he tore it off with force, and the face that did not belong to him fell to the ground as the mask fell off.
