A Tale of Woe

"Face reality, Li Long. In truth, you are nothing but a fool. You were one before your rebirth, and you remain one now. Fighting against me, you will never be my match. If I'm not mistaken, I must have done quite well for myself in your past life, didn't I?"

Li Long's mental defenses were completely shattered.

"Before I was reborn, you were the most prominent figure of the younger generation."

Wu Wei smiled, not at all surprised.

As the most renowned top student in the School of Computer Science, he had never doubted his own capabilities.

"Did I end up with Lan Meng in the future?"

"No, you actually abandoned her! Wu Wei, you deserve to die—how could you dare to abandon her?"

Speaking of Lan Meng, Li Long's emotions flared up once again.

Wu Wei remained calm and continued to ask, "Then who was my partner in the future?"

"You had no partner. You passed through a thousand flowers yet never let a single petal touch you. Many women were rumored to be with you, but you never publicly acknowledged anyone as your true girlfriend. Wu Wei, you are a complete and utter scumbag."

Wu Wei narrowed his eyes.

So, it turned out he was indeed a man who kept himself clean.

As for the women Li Long mentioned, just looking at the fact that he didn't even know Wu Wei had a high tolerance for alcohol, how much could he really know about the true him?

It was best to just listen and not take it to heart.

"One last question, Li Long. How should I deal with you?" Wu Wei said softly.

It had to be said, having a reincarnator fall into his hands was truly a hot potato.

Wu Wei knew very well that if used correctly, Li Long could bring him immense benefits.

But he was even more aware that this was a massive liability.

He really wanted to get rid of this trouble.

Thinking of this, Wu Wei turned around and began searching on his computer.

Li Long took one look, and his heart skipped a beat.

How to kill someone without a trace
How to kill someone without breaking the law
How to drive a person insane
Materials and steps required for dismemberment

Just as Wu Wei continued his search, Li Long couldn't take it anymore.

Tears streaming down his face, Li Long knelt before Wu Wei.

"Brother, you're the best. I was wrong. Please, be the bigger man and spare me."

"I don't dare to spare you. A reincarnator lurking in the shadows to sabotage me puts me under a lot of pressure."

At this moment, Wu Wei's voice sounded absolutely murderous to Li Long.

Li Long was nearly scared to the point of wetting himself.

"Wu Wei, I'm a reincarnator. I can make money—I can make a lot of money for you. As long as you don't kill me, I'm yours, and all the money I earn will be yours."

When it came to dignity, one had to be alive to have it.

The talented Li chose to follow his heart.

Wu Wei turned his head to look at Li Long and shook his head quite sincerely. "Li Long, will the future me be short of money?"

Li Long: "..."

"No. So, what use is that money to me?"

Wu Wei was currently the recognized top student of the School of Computer Science, and even within Imperial Capital University, he was a prominent figure.

His future was bright; he had no need to rely on a reincarnator's foresight to gain profit.

To put it bluntly, Wu Wei was never a failure; he didn't need to take shortcuts to live a magnificent life.

Since that was the case, what use was Li Long to him?

Li Long fell into despair.

It was at this moment that he deeply realized the gap between himself and Wu Wei.

The moment he learned of his rebirth, Li Long had been ecstatic, filled with absolute confidence in this new life.

But Wu Wei, without the benefit of rebirth, still possessed absolute confidence in his own life.

The difference was clear at a glance.

"Wu Wei, murder is against the law. If you kill me, you won't be able to escape either."

"True. I'm currently considering where to find a brat under fourteen to handle this matter for me."

Li Long fainted once again; this time, it was from pure terror.

Seeing Li Long, who had been completely broken by his games, Wu Wei smiled and stopped his search.

The so-called killing was, naturally, just to scare Li Long.

Because sacrificing himself for the likes of Li Long would be far too great a loss.

A mere reincarnator; at Li Long's level, Wu Wei truly didn't take him to heart.

Just then, the door knocked.

Wu Wei opened it to find a woman who looked quite innocent, dressed in rather formal attire; judging solely by her appearance, one would never guess she worked in such a specialized industry.

"Boss, is this the service you requested?" The woman gave Wu Wei a flirtatious wink.

Wu Wei stepped aside to let her in, then pointed at the bound Li Long.

"It's not for me, it's for him. He has some special hobbies, you understand, so there's no need to untie him."

"Understood, understood. I'll make sure this little handsome guy experiences paradise on earth."

"Good. We've already discussed the terms; remember, no protection."

The probability of contracting HIV through intercourse is extremely low, and on this point, Wu Wei hadn't lied to Li Long.

However, for Li Long, it was really just a binary outcome: either infected or not—the difference between one hundred percent and zero.

Since he had plotted to harm him first, Wu Wei had no reason to be polite.

Taking Li Long's room key, Wu Wei headed to Li Long's room, completely failing to notice the strange, sinister look the woman cast toward Li Long.

Perspective shift.

My name is Qian Ruoyun, an undergraduate at the Imperial Capital Film Academy.

I am twenty years old, in the prime of my life, a woman's most beautiful age, and I am indeed very pretty.

My dream is to become famous, and I understand the entertainment industry very well.

Therefore, I am willing to go to great lengths.

To enter the entertainment industry as quickly as possible, I have met many people. Naturally, I have also done many things as a matter of course.

Those detestable men took advantage of me, used me up, and then went back on their word.

I slept with so many people, yet in the end, I didn't land a single role.

If that were all, it would be one thing.

But when I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with HIV.

I completely collapsed.

This is unfair.

I sacrificed so much, only to get this result.

Why?

Even though I smoke, drink, have tattoos, cheat, get abortions, use drugs, and am promiscuous, I am a good girl.

I did all of this just to become famous, to integrate into the entertainment industry—is that wrong?

Why does heaven treat me this way?

I want revenge—revenge on the scumbags who hurt me, revenge on this society that hurt me.

In just one month, I slept with every man who had ever slept with me all over again.

Then, I spent another month frequenting major nightclubs, completing my "hundred-man kill" achievement and steadily marching toward a "thousand-man kill."

Just after I finished with my 342nd man, I received a call from the hospital.

The doctor told me I had been misdiagnosed; I didn't actually have HIV...

You can imagine the mix of grief and joy I felt at that moment.

That wasn't the unluckiest part.

The unluckiest part was that after receiving the doctor's call, I immediately rushed to the hospital to check my body.

And then, I discovered that in those two months, I had truly contracted HIV.

Knowing the truth, my tears fell.

I will never forget that doctor's name—Li Jianguo.

And he has an only son—Li Long.

The cycle of heaven is ruthless; retribution is swift.

This time, I will not take revenge on society again.

But I must make the Li family pay the price.

This time, I did a lot of research and put in a great deal of effort, finally making contact with Li Long.

He wanted me to harm another young man, but when I arrived to meet him, he was already unconscious.

That young man seems quite capable; he managed a counter-kill. He thinks I don't know the truth, but in reality, I see everything clearly.

But that is not important, and I do not care.

What I care about is that Li Long is lying right in front of me now.

Li Long, a father's debts must be paid by his son; if you want to blame someone, blame your father.

Qian Ruoyun walked toward Li Long with a sinister grin.
