Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 205 An Accident Or A Murder?

How fucking dare they!?

Jun sprung on his feet abruptly from the swing and rapidly paced back and forth in front of it.

Ai asked, "What are you doing?"

He angrily sneered. "Trying to calm myself, or I am afraid I would go to those cheaters' places and kill their sorry lives right now! I think that's not a bad idea. My hands are itching for revenge."

Ai noticed the twitch of his fingers and his beautiful gaze that was growing increasingly darker and threatening.

"Can you take me out of the swing?"

Jun obediently lifted her and helped her on her feet.

Ai tiptoed and kissed his cheeks. "Thank you so much Jun for getting angry for my sake," she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head in his embrace. "I love you."

Jun tightly pressed her soft body against him and kissed her hair. "I love you too. I…"

He shut his eyes that were threatening to grow misty. He remembered the impact with which Ai had fallen on top of his car. The blood, the sound of bones breaking…

Falling from a building…It must have hurt like hell…

"I really want to kill them. You have nothing but suffered, and they dare to stand above you!?"

He trembled with rage and resentment clouding his heart. "I won't forgive them for this. I will give them pain a hundred fold more than what you suffered!"

Ai softly smiled. "We don't have to forgive them. But I don't want revenge either. When I was reborn, I decided not to dwell in the past or with revenge. I will focus on myself and my career and stay away from them."

"You have a kind heart, but I don't! If Gu Yating was your boyfriend, then how the hell your career remained at a standstill like that? Why didn't he do anything to make you the best writer? On top of that, he got seduced by your best friend and shamelessly broke up with you. Who the hell is he to break up with you? You should have dumped him, not otherwise! And your so-called best friend? She had everything in her life and still cursed you for her misery!? She…she was the one who pushed you…"

He sneered. "How about I push her from a terrace and let her know how it feels to fall and die like you did?"

His gaze faced the balcony of his condo as he imagined the scenario of taking revenge from Yating and Guiying. But as he stared outside, something struck him.

Jun slowly said, "Ai. When I realized that it was you who I had seen that night, I thought there was some conspiracy against you. You weren't the type to kill yourself, so I surmised that somebody murdered you."

Ai widened her eyes. "It's wasn't a murder. Although you may feel that Guiying pushed me on purpose to kill me, it wasn't like that. I know…she didn't want to kill me. Not intentionally. It happened by accident because when I slipped, I saw the horror on her face. It was real. That clearly showed that she realized her blunder, and she didn't mean to push me off and kill me."

"If it was an accident, then how did you fall in the first place?" Jun spoke in an extremely chilling voice. "How hard did she push you?"

Ai furrowed her brows and tried to remember that feeling. "I stumbled backwards, and my back hit the railing. Then I fell. It wasn't that hard."

Jun stiffened. "That's exactly my point." He took a step back from their embrace and stared at her. "No wonder I was feeling that something was odd in the back of my mind with how you fell down. Dream High is a big company, and big and reputed companies have good security in place. Usually, there are good precautions in all houses and offices.

That includes a tall and sturdy railing on the terrace and balconies. One cannot easily bend over and fall from above the railing with its tall height. It's designed in such a way that you won't fall even if you stumbled a bit here and there at the border. Otherwise, what's the point?

Even if Cai Guiying pushed you, you shouldn't have fallen anyway because the railing should have supported you and taken that force. It would be impossible for her to exert that much strength to make a human of her size topple from above the railing. Plus, she was drunk. That's the main point. Alcohol robs you of your energy. She couldn't have used that much force to bend you over the railing. Maybe for Gu Yating but not for her."

She blinked. "But I wasn't toppled from above. I slipped backwards and fell."

"That's why I asked how hard did she push you? If you only stumbled backward, that was not enough for you to fall. What happened to the railing? You couldn't have passed THROUGH the railing and fell, right?"

Ai tilted her head.

He grabbed her shoulders and squinted his eyes. "I am smelling something fishy here. Try to remember. What exactly happened at that moment when she pushed you?"

At first, Jun thought if he was thinking too hard about it. But his instinct didn't agree with him. There was something wrong that had happened and hidden from everybody's sight.

Ai shut her eyes and recalled that night. It was hard and her heart sped fast but with Jun at her side, she felt comforted and confident.

She ran the whole scene in slow motion in her mind, and then she opened her eyes, feeling bewildered. "I remember the railing broke down when I bumped into it."

His eyes slowly widened. "Broke down?"

"Yes. I remember now. My back hit the railing, and I instinctively held it for support. But instead, the railing loosened and collapsed. I heard a metal crash before I fell the next moment."

"Wait a second. The entire long railing which covered that terrace's side fell at once?"

Ai slowly shook her head now that she was beginning to have suspicions too, her heart racing faster. "No. That's the strange part. Only one part of the railing had collapsed. It was the part around where I was standing."
