"Hey, did you hear about that woman? Qui Chin!"

"Of course! Such a bi*ch. Going around slandering Military Chief Rong. What does she think of herself?"

"From what I've heard, she had attempted to murder the 'Spotlight' diva. Ningtao. I guess she held some grudges against the Superfamily since the beginning."

"Pfft! Targeting the Superfam is no different than committing suicide. What, she is braindead or something?"

"Trying to hurt Ningtao was already a blunder. Who told her to defame the highest Military authority of the nation? There is no way the army will let her off."

"She is done for this time."

"Honestly? I hated that sl*t. She even cheated on her husband so many times.

"I know, right? President Sun Cheng was way out of her league anyway. He is so dashing and smart. So reserved.

"God knows why did he even married her?"

"Maybe because of his daughter. He must've done that to shield his child from societal judgments. After all, a child out of wedlock is never accepted."

"True. But he will eventually come across someone worthy of being his woman. He doesn't need to have her by his side."

These were some of the comments on Weibo two hours after the news about Qui Chin got out. If anything, she was a laughingstock for the entire country. And why not? Who would believe a person accusing a dead man of her assault. It was much too hilarious!

Rong Xinghe had yet again proved the ferociousness of her brain. Ripping someone off of their mental stability and social standing at once, was ruthless in its own unique way. She had tortured Qui Chin not just physically, but emotionally as well. Without lifting her little finger. No lawyer, no diplomat bothered defending Qui Chin. And no journalist was merciful towards her as well as they dug into her past, leaking all the shameful things she did ages ago.

As Sun Cheng looked at the TV screen broadcasting Qui Chin's destruction, a smirk appeared across his lips. SHE was right! Her every promise was genuine. The girl wasn't bluffing when she had told him the other day, 'Don't worry, Cheng. By the time it will be all over, she will prefer death over life.' Indeed, no one would want to live a life as dreadful as that.

The man muted the TV before he pulled out his phone and placed his legs over his office table, crossing them at ankles, and leaned back in his chair. He then dialed a number.

"Hello?", a deep enticing voice came through the other end.

"How can someone like Rong Xinghe fall for you?", the man mocked.

"Cheng?", Xi Yuan was surprised for a second before he glanced at his phone screen. He was too busy to check the caller earlier.

"What do you mean?", he asked then, pinching the space between his brows. What had the wild little kitten done now? Was she already done playing with Qui Chin?

"Get back over here, idiot!", Sun Cheng laughed, "Else, I might try to steal her away from you."

Definitely dealt with Qui Chin, Xi Yuan concluded. He had never heard Sun Cheng so relaxed, so jolly for the past few years. Ever since his only love, his wife Elena had died, he had lost his spirit. He had lost himself. Always exhausted, always down. Xi Yuan was delighted, for his friend.

But not appreciative of his statement seconds ago. "Try it. And I will thrust a knife right through your throat.", the man roared, akin to a lion. How dare he? No one was allowed to desire his woman!

"Always possessive.", Sun Cheng shook his head, "Alright. I will back off."

"Better."

"So you are serious about her?", the man asked.

"Yes."

"Planning on marrying her?"

"Definitely."

"Wow. You are really in love, aren't you?"

"Yep."

6:00 p.m., Special Forces Base;

Rong Xinghe walked straight into the interrogation room, where Qui Chin was kept. Her hands tied behind her back, sitting on a wooden chair, she looked awful. Miserable. If Rong Xinghe didn't know her better, she would've had pitied her.

"Free her hands.", the girl commanded the Officer standing beside her.

"But Ma'am—"

"It's alright.", Rong Xinghe assured.

Left with no choice, the man stepped forward and carried out the orders given by the girl. Actually, there was nothing for him to worry about. Qui Chin was too weak to even stand up, let alone attack Rong Xinghe. She had been 'taken care of' by the Special Force Officers for hours, after all. With more than eighty bruises and wounds across her entire body, she was left with barely any strength to put on a fight.

Rong Xinghe looked at the woman in front of her coolly before she pulled out a knife and a revolver from the bag she brought along with her, placing them on the wooden table separating her and Qui Chin.

The woman looked at the two weapons and tilted her head to fix her gaze upon Rong Xinghe, her eyes bloodshot. 'What do you want now?! Haven't you done enough?', her inner self screamed, cried. But she didn't dare to provoke the girl by saying those words out aloud. By this time, even her soul was petrified of her. She was worse than the devil to her.

"I will give you two options. Pick up the knife and slit your wrist apart. You 'self-reflection and guilt' suicide note has already been prepared. Or I shall shoot you with that gun of mine. But hereafter, you will be hated, even after your death. Your daughter will grow up knowing you as a monster. It's for you to decide now.", the girl said after some time, least affected by Qui Chin's glare.

"I refuse to believe I deserve this!", the shabby, worn-out woman protested, "Ningtao is alive. She was able to survive those stabs. Yet, I have to die. Why?"

Rong Xinghe squinted her eyes at the woman before she scoffed at her.

"Marie Stewart. Elena. And my Sister-in-law.", the girl smiled, "You are paying back for everything you did to them.

"Sis-in-law Ningtao was stabbed, so you had to go through the unbearable pain in the alley.

"Marie Stewart was sexually assaulted because of you, so you had to feel the fear of being stripped off of your honor.

"And Elena committed suicide due to the misunderstandings you created between her and Sun Cheng, so how can I allow you to live? You deserve death. Nothing more. Nothing less."

"Who are you? Satan?", Qui Chin laughed manically.

"You see, I don't believe in the concept of 'Karma'. I become 'Karma'. I don't wait. I punish and I kill. Of course, it depends on what one deserves.

"And yes. I am Satan. For people like you? Always the Satan."
