Chapter 1010: Beautiful Girl (55)

But given her personality, there was no possibility between them.

Studying the expressions on the two boys' faces, Tang Guo let out a soft laugh. "After apologizing, don't you feel a little better? Doesn't your guilt feel a bit lighter?"

The words weren't pleasant, and they carried unmistakable mockery, but they had to admit that it was precisely because of their remorse and guilt that they had come to apologize.

Tang Guo bent down slightly closer. Both of them were curious about what she intended to say, and neither moved away, allowing her to approach.

Then, accompanied by the breeze, a voice both cool and melodious drifted into their ears.

"Are you secretly relieved that I didn't end up like the girl in your dreams? That I didn't leap from a tall building and smash into a bloody mess?"

The two suddenly raised their heads, staring at her in disbelief.

How did she know they had such dreams?

No—

What they cared about even more was what she meant by those words.

"Your hearts are beating faster now. Even if the answer isn't one you want to hear, I still have to say it."

Her voice lowered.

"Have you never suspected that I'm not her at all? That I've merely returned in her place to fulfill her last wish and clear her name?"

"She left this world with too many regrets, too much resentment. What she left behind were nothing more than spectators, evildoers, and people who escaped punishment. Do you think she would have accepted that?"

Their expressions turned even uglier as her words echoed again and again in their minds.

Wei Liang finally exploded.

"You're lying!"

"Xiaoguo, you're just taking revenge on me, aren't you?"

How could the dreams possibly be real?

How could she have really jumped?

How could she have ended her life so easily?

No—

Impossible.

How could that be?

She was so beautiful.

So pure.

So strong.

How could she have truly thrown herself from such a height?

No.

Impossible.

She had to be lying.

The two of them stared at Tang Guo with pounding hearts.

She was standing right in front of them.

How could something like that have happened?

Tang Guo reached into her pocket and took out a gemstone worth hundreds of millions, holding it before them. Her voice softly drifted into their ears.

"Would a girl who possesses a gemstone worth hundreds of millions really need to work part-time jobs?"

"Would a girl whose mother is merely a department manager, who still has to take on part-time work, be able to hire thirty of the world's top lawyers?"

Tang Guo chuckled softly.

"Their payment wasn't money. They don't lack money. They're even richer than you are. What do you think?"

"If you say I made tens of millions from stocks, then let me ask you this—could an ordinary high school student really do that? Turn less than five hundred thousand into several times that amount in just half a year? Could a high school student really do that?"

"And finally…"

"Don't you find it strange that I know about your dreams?"

Her voice grew lower and lower, as though only the two of them could hear it. There was even a trace of hoarseness in it.

"Because I'm the one who gave you those dreams."

"You'll be haunted by those nightmares for the rest of your lives. Day and night, you'll suffer, watching her fall in front of you, seeing her body shattered and covered in blood."

"It will repeat endlessly."

"You'll never know peace for the rest of your lives."

"You'll pay the price for your mistakes."

"And not just you."

"Everyone who took part in this will."

She straightened up, a pure and sweet smile blossoming on her face.

"Xiaoguo!"

Chang Zhan's voice came from the distance, tinged with urgency.
