She looked at the open door and ran out, crying as she shouted, "Mom... Wuwuwu... Mom..."
"Don't run! I'll kill you!" The woman, holding the kitchen knife, had bloodshot eyes and was completely out of her mind.
The man turned around, nearly scared out of his wits.
"Crazy woman! You're insane!" Without thinking, he dashed out onto the road. The woman followed closely behind and struck his back with the knife. She swung so hard that most of the blade sank deep into his body.
Wei Ziqi, enjoying the moment, squinted his eyes as he neared his release, unable to resist pressing down on the woman's neck with his right hand, forcing her to take him completely, regardless of whether she could handle it or not.
His waist and abdomen moved instinctively, and his eyes, still squinted, caught sight of two struggling figures ahead through the glare of the high beams.
"Hahahahaha! I'll kill you! It'll all be over once I kill you!" The woman laughed madly.
Suddenly, a blinding light flashed toward her, and she instinctively turned her head.
As the light grew brighter and closer, almost overwhelming her senses, she felt herself surrounded by infinite light, forgetting even her fear.
The only sound she heard was a sharp "screech——" before everything went silent.
"Ah——!" The little girl stood at the side of the road, watching her parents fall. Her father was lying on the ground with the kitchen knife still stuck in his back, blood pouring out from the wound.
As for her mother, she couldn't even tell where her mother's injuries were anymore; it seemed like her entire body was wounded, and she was collapsed in a pool of blood.
The deep red blood appeared dark on the asphalt, shining particularly brightly under the car headlights.
Wei Ziqi grabbed the long hair of the woman still kneeling on his lap, her face pale with fear, and threw her back into the passenger seat.
He got out of the car, stepping over the two bodies on the ground, and walked straight toward the little girl.
The two had died beyond saving, no longer worth looking at.
The little girl was still screaming continuously, her only response was to scream, nothing but endless screaming.
When Wei Ziqi reached her, she didn't have time to see his face before collapsing in a faint amidst her screams.
Wei Ziqi didn't catch her and let her fall to the ground with a thud.
Then, he crouched down, pinching her cheeks with his fingers, forcing her face into the light cast by the car headlights.
He stared at her coldly, without any emotion, as if examining her for something.
"Qi... Qi Shao..." The woman, wobbling and pale, called out weakly.
She avoided looking at the couple lying in the blood pool, clearly terrified and on the verge of collapse.
Wei Ziqi seemed not to hear her, continuing to gaze at the little girl.
After a long while, he stood up, grabbed the little girl, and threw her over his shoulder. He then walked to the car and placed her in the back seat.

After a long while, he stood up, grabbed the little girl, threw her over his shoulder, and walked toward the car, placing her in the back seat.
The little girl's head was tilted outward, completely unconscious, her pale face resembling that of a lifeless corpse.
The woman watched as Wei Ziqi sat back into the driver's seat. She didn't know where the strength came from, but she quickly ran to the passenger seat.
She didn't want to stay in this place full of corpses, with the thick smell of blood all around.
Especially in the dead of night, when there was no one around, the place felt even more eerie.
Just as her hand was about to touch the car door, before she could even open it, she saw that Wei Ziqi didn't even glance at her. Coldly and without any emotion, he said, "You stay here, someone will come to pick you up later."
Before the woman could respond, he slammed his foot on the accelerator and sped off.
The car shot forward suddenly and quickly. The woman was jerked forward by the car's force, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground.
She stared blankly as Wei Ziqi's car roared away. The sound of the engine gradually faded, eventually disappearing along with the taillights.
"Don't... don't leave me here..." The woman shivered in fear and said weakly.
But she didn't dare to resist, not even daring to call the police.
She knew that Wei Ziqi would take care of this car accident.
Except for her, no one would know that two people had died here.
There were many rumors about the Wei family from the outside world.
But the closest to the truth was that the Wei family originated from the State of Wei during the Warring States period.
This was something a knowledgeable friend of hers had told her. As for the specifics of what happened with the State of Wei and how it continued to this day, she wasn't sure.
There were many legends from that time, but in the present era, probably only the Wei family knew the full story.
She only knew that the remaining seven great families were also related to the feudal states of the Warring States period.
The nobility of the State of Wei belonged to the Ji surname, but it was said that the ruler of Wei was eventually deposed and relegated to commoner status, while the Crown Prince of Wei disappeared, and no one could ever find him.
As a result, outsiders speculated that the current Wei family were descendants of that Crown Prince.
According to her friend, the Crown Prince, to escape being hunted, had changed his surname to Wei.
Even though the Wei family had changed their surname over time, their given names still began with Ji.
However, no one knew what their names were.
The head of the Wei family's name was known only to his wife, the matriarch of the Wei family.
The woman sat by the roadside, trembling, hoping that what Wei Ziqi had said was true, that someone would really come to take her away.
On this desolate road, there were no passing cars, and she wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to.
Fortunately, after a while, two cars stopped in front of her.
The two cars were jet black, with their headlights off.
