47 Killing Two Birds With One Stone

Ren Daiyu: "Do you think that people really have past lives like in the show? I mean I now know that SOME of these people are fakes, thanks to a certain SOMEONE." She pointedly looked at Li Xiuying and put emphasis on some and someone.

Li Xiuying nodded:"Rebirth". Of course she did, she was living proof.

Ren Daiyu: "Rebirth? Really?"

Li Xiuying nodded: "What would you do if you had the memories of a past life?"

Ren Daiyu tucked her legs beneath her: "Hmm well if you're talking about rebirth, then I guess it depends when I re-birthed, what happened in my life and also how I died. If I died tomorrow then I hope I'm reborn before I get together with my ex, actually no I want to be reborn in high school so I can avoid that stupid group of harpies I called my friends."

Li Xiuying: "Revenge?"

Ren Daiyu: "Revenge on my ex and that B$£%*? I don't know, I mean I've thought about getting back at them but it's only ever a fleeting thought. I wouldn't even know where to start with plotting revenge or what I would do. In fact right now all I want is to never have to see either of their horrid faces again."

Li Xiuying sat in deep contemplation. In her past life, Li Xiuying was also never one for vengeance. She was one for endurance. No matter what happened in her life she internalized her pain and kept surviving as best she could. But the more Li Xiuying endured, the more she had to endure.

Everyone has a breaking point and Li Xiuying broke at the time of her death. The universe was finally granting Li Xiuying karmic retribution by giving her a second chance at life.

And in this life she would return a tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye.

Ren Daiyu's voice interrupted Li Xiuying's thoughts.

Ren Daiyu took on a sad and bitter tone: "Oh wait, I thought of something. I would definitely want to get justice against all those criminals who were let off for some sort of technicality or through exploiting legal loop holes. Especially that serial killer, last year Libra. If I could go back and ensure the evidence of his first murder didn't go "missing", then the lives of over 20 women could have been spared." She did air quotations when she said the word missing.

Li Xiuying thought about the five men who had tortured. They were probably out there right now doing unspeakable things to other people. Li Xiuying could prevent another person from going through what she once had. She wasn't a hero or a do-gooder and by no means was she a saint. Li Xiuying just concluded that by taking care of these sp.a.w.ns of h.e.l.l; she was killing two birds with one stone. She would avenge herself and also prevent evil being inflicted on to others.

Li Xiuying suddenly stood up and went to her bedroom.

Ren Daiyu confusedly looked at Li Xiuying's retreating figure.

When Li Xiuying returned to the living room she had sheets of plain paper and a pen in her hands.

She sat next to Ren Daiyu, pushed the snacks to one side and began drawing.

Ren Daiyu watched as Li Xiuying slowly drew five life-like sinister looking men. She could feel the malicious aura they emitted even from the drawing.

Li Xiuying turned her large doe eyes on Ren Daiyu: "Xǔ Junjie used to be in the mafia."

Xǔ Junjie's past was common knowledge especially in the upper social circles. She once overheard Li Yu Yan and her friends talking about him; they were discussing his eligibility to marry.

Ren Daiyu subconsciously nodded whilst looking into Li Xiuying's eyes: "Erm Yes."

Li Xiuying; "Can he find these people?" She handed the pictures she drew to Ren Daiyu.

Ren Daiyu: "I can ask for you."

Ren Daiyu picked up her handbag from the floor and took out her phone.

She paused for a moment and thought to herself. 'Xiuying's eyes are too hypnotizing, I just automatically agreed with her request without questioning it. I mean I would have helped her anyway as a friend but I was already taking action without even realizing it. Note to self; never look into Xiuying's eyes.'

She looked up her father's details. Ren Guiton was one of the lawyers hired by Xǔ Junjie to work for Orchid Credit Agency. Her uncle also had business dealings with Xǔ Junjie but she couldn't possibly ask him. She texted her Father.

Ren Daiyu's text: "Dad, can you message me Xǔ Junjie's number? I need it for Xiuying."

She received an instantaneously reply. She opened the message; it contained Xǔ Junjie's contact details.

Ren Daiyu text back: "Thanks dad."

Ren Daiyu took photos of all the pictures and sent them with a message to Xǔ Junjie.

Ren Daiyu's message: "h.e.l.lo Xǔ Junjie, its Ren Daiyu. Dr Li Xiuying asked if you could help find these men for her."
