Wen Jingxuan and Bo Yiyang engaged in a little office play during their work break for some rest and relaxation. Afterwards, she hurried to the rest area to freshen up.
Since getting together with Bo Yiyang, the CEO's office suite had stored many of her clothes, precisely for situations like today when she needed to change into clean, fresh attire.
Hearing Bo Yiyang's voice outside the rest area, it seemed someone had come to the office. Fearing that person might barge in and see her in a disheveled state, she hastily put on her clothes without fully cleaning herself up.
Aware that her presence was inappropriate, she dared not open the door and leave, hoping to wait until the visitor departed.
However, before the visitor left, the voices outside became alarming.
Bo Yiyang shouted angrily, trying to stop the other person, "What are you doing!"
Zuo Tianhao, with bloodshot eyes, pulled out a fruit knife and began stabbing wildly at Bo Yiyang's abdomen and kidneys.
From the rest area, Bo Yiyang's angry shouts and the sounds of objects crashing to the floor indicated the unusual nature of the situation.
Despite Zuo Tianhao being armed with a knife, Bo Yiyang managed to grapple with him briefly, smashing Zuo Tianhao's head with an inkstone.
The pain in his head only fueled Zuo Tianhao's murderous rage.
Bo Yiyang asked in agony, "Why?"
Zuo Tianhao didn't answer him. He thought Li Yuwei must be in this office too. So much for smart men dealing with men - he wanted to kill both these adulterers. They all had to die.
Wen Jingxuan found a fruit knife on the table in the rest area and gripped it shakily for self-defense.
Zuo Tianhao violently kicked open the rest room door. When he saw the woman's face clearly, he hesitated for a moment. In that split second of hesitation, Wen Jingxuan had already plunged her knife into his stomach.
Zuo Tianhao, being a man, was very strong and tried to throw Wen Jingxuan off.
But Wen Jingxuan, as if gone mad, used all her strength to stab Zuo Tianhao several more times.
The knife in her hand was covered in blood. With only Bo Yiyang outside, it was clear whose blood it was.
She hated this man so much that she stabbed with particular force.
No matter how tough Zuo Tianhao was, after being stabbed several times in his vital organs, he couldn't hold on any longer.
After ensuring Zuo Tianhao could no longer fight back, Wen Jingxuan quickly ran out of the rest area to find Bo Yiyang lying in a pool of blood, with desk ornaments scattered everywhere.
By this time, Bo Yiyang was barely breathing. With trembling hands, she dialed Emergency Medical Services.
Wen Jingxuan held Bo Yiyang, calling his name over and over.
However, Bo Yiyang had lost too much blood and had already fallen into shock and unconsciousness.
When Emergency Medical Services arrived, they were startled by the crime scene.
They quickly loaded Bo Yiyang into the ambulance for emergency treatment. Wen Jingxuan, focused solely on Bo Yiyang, forgot to inform the medical staff about another person needing rescue in the room.
Zuo Tianhao was thus forgotten.
The medical staff assumed Wen Jingxuan was the assailant and Bo Yiyang the victim.
Seeing that both were good-looking, they speculated it might be due to a romantic dispute.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the police were already waiting for Wen Jingxuan by the ambulance.
As the medical staff rushed to push Bo Yiyang into the emergency room, Wen Jingxuan wanted to follow to check on his condition, but the police wouldn't allow it, insisting on taking her statement.
Despite Wen Jingxuan's reluctance, she was taken to a nearby police station for questioning.
In truth, questioning wasn't necessary - the woman was covered in blood, some smeared and some spattered.
But the routine questioning had to be done.
This was Wen Jingxuan's first time using a knife and drawing blood, and she couldn't help but panic.
Earlier, she had been worried about Bo Yiyang's safety, but now in the interrogation room, she was left only with fear.
Would that man die? Had she committed murder? Would she go to prison? Would she face the death penalty?
Wen Jingxuan hadn't studied law, but from occasional news reports of similar cases, she thought this should count as self-defense. That man had come at her with a knife intending to kill her - if she hadn't acted, she would be the one dead.
Believing it was self-defense, she told the police the detailed course of events.
She also asked the police if this counted as self-defense and how long her sentence might be.
Little did she know, her questions would lead to a shocking revelation.
There was still another person lying in the office.
The police quickly called Emergency Medical Services, telling them to go back to the previous location as there was another patient there.
Emergency Medical Services had barely sat down to rest when they received the call.
Strange things happen every year, but this year seemed particularly odd. They headed back to pick up the other person.
After his boss was taken away by ambulance, the building security guard felt increasingly uneasy. He put down his phone and went upstairs to check the situation.
Seeing a lot of blood in the CEO's office, he noticed the side rest room door was open. He peeked inside and saw a person lying on the floor.
The older security guard, unable to handle such a shock at his age, took out some heart medication from his pocket and let it dissolve under his tongue before he recovered.
He quickly took out his phone to make a call. Two minutes after the call connected, emergency personnel appeared before him.
The security guard was dumbfounded, wondering if Emergency Medical Services had become so efficient.
The emergency personnel were the same ones who had taken Bo Yiyang earlier. Upon checking Zuo Tianhao's condition, they shook their heads, saying, "No vital signs."
The emergency staff took out a portable ECG machine, attached it to him, and the screen showed a flat line.
The security guard was stunned. Had the person just died like that?
Seeing a person lying in a pool of blood, he had quickly called for emergency help without daring to check the situation himself.
The emergency personnel, knowing the guard was just an employee, said to him, "Maybe you should inform your boss?"
The guard pointed towards the direction of the boss's desk, saying, "The one you just took away was my boss."
The emergency personnel fell silent. What a tale of love and hatred this must be.
