Li Caiyi didn't know which was more surprising, the fact that Meng Renshu did a background check on Dai Zhiqiang or the shocking revelation she had just heard.
Both were very shocking, to say the least. Li Caiyi was rendered speechless again.
"After your funeral, I pulled some string and managed to gain some information from a person within the police. Dai Zhiqiang or Huang Zhen mentioned your name several times in his journal and had something you had lost for years among his possessions."
Li Caiyi couldn't form any thoughts because her brain couldn't keep up with this information. Meng Renshu continued, "Not only that, he kept many of your photos hidden in his laptop. That bastard has been targeting you from the beginning."
Veins popped out on Meng Renshu's neck as he trembled violently.
Even now, if he recalled how there was another man who had been eyeing his wife even before they got married, his blood boiled in anger and disgust.
Moreover, that guy took advantage of Li Caiyi when she was in her weakest state to get his hand on her in the end. Utterly unforgivable!
"Wait, wait just a minute!" Li Caiyi raised her hands in the air to stop Meng Renshu from spouting more information. At this rate, her head would explode.
At least she understood that Huang Zhen was probably another fake name Dai Zhiqiang used, just like Shen Qiang. But she had no idea about the other thing Meng Renshu mentioned.
"Please slow down a bit. Explain it to me one by one. What do you mean he has something I lost? What kind of thing?"
"That keychain I gave you. The one we all thought you had lost. That guy kept it with him all the time."
Li Caiyi felt a chill run down her spine when she heard that. She did think that their meeting was a bit too good to be a coincidence, but she didn't think about it too much, because she liked him in the end.
But what if everything was part of his plan?
A part of her head couldn't help but think like that. Suddenly, she felt like she couldn't recognize Dai Zhiqiang or Shen Qiang anymore.
"No, that's not right. It's not like that keychain is the only kind in the world. It's probably just a coincidence."
"Xiaoyi, did you forget that there was craving in that wood keychain? We made it together. That should make your keychain the only one of its kind in the world."
Li Caiyi "!!"
Meng Renshu sighed. "Did you finally realize the severity of the situation? Do you still think I'm overreacting now? I don't know what kind of story there is between the two of you, but that guy is dangerous."
"Brother Renshu, what are you trying to say?"
"That bastard is a lunatic psycho. He planned to drag you to death with him from the beginning."
"No, you are wrong! He never forced me to do anything. In fact, he kept asking me a few times if I really wanted to do it."
"The double suicide," Meng Renshu stifled a nauseous groan after saying that, as though he still couldn't accept the idea. "Is that your idea or his?"
Li Caiyi was stunned, and then a flash of memories ran past her.
[Do you want to do it together?]
[If we are going to do the same thing anyway, then should we do it together?]
[It's because you seem like you can use some company]
Shen Qiang's words on that fateful day echoed in her head. It was undoubtedly his idea; she just rolled along with it because there would be no loss for her anyway.
"What you thought of as the first meeting is definitely not the first time for him. And he doesn't have pure intentions when approaching you. How can I stand still and let you be with him after knowing that?"
Li Caiyi didn't know what to say. Even if Dai Zhiqiang probably recognized her because they used to study in the same high school, that didn't explain why he had her thing or photos.
The only plausible explanation was that he deliberately waited for her and approached her, just like Meng Renshu said.
"But that's impossible. Dai Zhiqiang is very kind and gentle towards me." Li Caiyi mumbled unconsciously.
"Xiaoyi…"
"Even if he probably didn't have the purest intention, I believed his feelings towards me were genuine. He never forced me to do anything I didn't like!"
"Or is it because he knew you wouldn't refuse him, as long as he said some words you wanted to hear? He was your stalker, so he should know your situation well. Xiaoyi, he took advantage of your weakness."
Meng Renshu's words pricked her ears. She didn't want to think badly about Shen Qiang or Dai Zhiqiang.
However, she couldn't find any words to refute him.
Meng Renshu studied her reaction closely and somewhat felt pity for her. This might be too much information to digest, but she had to know so she could be more careful. Seeing her troubled look made him uncomfortable.
Meng Renshu rose from his seat and slowly walked over to her. Still deep in her thoughts, Li Caiyi didn't notice him until he gently patted her head.
"I'm sorry for bringing up bad news when you are clearly not in your best condition. I just wanted you to be more on guard. Don't trust him blindly just because you like him."
"Brother Renshu, even if what you said is true, the current Dai Zhiqiang still hasn't done anything wrong."
"I know. But there is no harm in being careful. You have worked so hard to achieve your happiness. I don't want to see you getting dragged into an unknown path because of him. Take this as advice from your big brother."
Li Caiyi was at a loss for words once again, so she just nodded her head. If what Meng Renshu said was true, she had to keep her eyes on him, so he wouldn't fall on the same path again.
"I'm sorry for taking up your time. Have a rest for now. I'm leaving."
Li Caiyi waved back at him until his figure disappeared beyond the door tent. She felt like everything around her turned drastically in a matter of seconds.
Her head was full of Hu Jian and what Meng Renshu had told her. She scratched her head in frustration.
"Excuse me, I'm here to deliver your food."
The voice from outside returned her to reality. In times like this, she needed food to replenish her brain energy.
Li Caiyi straightened her back and enthusiastically replied, "Come in, please!"
