When Meng Yi and Lu Anchi were preparing to leave, Chen Dahong, despite his worries, managed a strained smile and escorted the two to the village entrance. Xuehua Village was located deep in the mountains, hard to reach. Although the government had built roads through the mountains, cars still couldn't enter, and people had to walk in on foot. The villagers watched from a distance, whispering among themselves, some even pointing accusingly at Chen Dahong. His face, already lined with deep wrinkles,…- 141.2 K • Completed
- "So, Yan Ru just left? Just like that?" Meng Yi's expression was complicated. It is true what they say: behind every twisted pervert, there is a miserable childhood. Chen Dahong sighed. "I never saw him again after that. My wife might have seen him; I think she even gave him some money. Even though we didn't live together, we were still responsible, you know? We supported him financially! That kid was nothing but trouble for our family—we really had no choice!" After a pause, Chen Dahong asked,…

- Sometimes, rumors and gossip hurt far more than real knives. To be honest, Yan Ru's adoptive parents were actually distant relatives of his biological family. His adoptive mother shared the surname Yan and was a distant cousin of Yan Ru's father—so distant that it was hard to pinpoint exactly how they were related. Though they had lived in the same village, Xuehua Village was large, and the two families lived far enough apart that they rarely visited each other even during holidays. When Yan Ru was…

- He stepped into the living room with a quiet hesitation. Though he was not yet fifty, his hair was already turning white, and years of hard work had whittled him down to a bent, bony frame with hardly any flesh left on it. "Officers, please have some hot water," he said, handing two enamel cups stained with tea residue and water marks to Meng Yi and Lu Anchi, offering an ingratiating smile. His yellowed, sparse teeth showed as he spoke nervously in dialect, "I dunno why y'all are visitin' my place.…

- "You're saying we should use the Blizzard System to locate the victim's remains?" Lu Anchi slightly furrowed his brows, his gaze serious and profound, as if considering the feasibility of Meng Yi's proposal. Meng Yi nodded vigorously: "Yes! Weiyao Technology's Blizzard System can manipulate dreams. I don't believe Yan Ru is so formidable that he can keep his mouth shut even in a dream." "It's not that simple." Lu Anchi's voice was slightly hoarse, but his fingers tapped the air excitedly. "First of…

- Qin Yuezhang listened silently to Yan Ru's accusations and resentment before speaking in a low voice, "But none of these justify what you did wrong." Yan Ru lifted his eyelids, his gaze like a poisoned blade, cutting deep into Qin Yuezhang's eyes. "Right is right, wrong is wrong," Qin Yuezhang said, his handsome and heroic face filled with condemnation for a murderer. "I sympathize with what you've been through, but you can't use that to defend yourself." Moreover, Wei Qinzhou was Qin Yuezhang's…

- Do you know what it feels like to be abandoned and then abandoned again? Have you ever experienced the helplessness of watching your mother lie in a pool of blood while no one is willing to even call 120 for help? Have you ever tasted the bitterness of being adopted and then discarded for no reason? Have you ever felt what it's like to be cornered in a bathroom, beaten, and have your head shoved into a urinal? Have you ever endured the humiliation of being unable to find a job, hitting walls…

- The dim interrogation room. The delicate young man lowered his head, his slightly overgrown bangs covering his eyes, making his demeanor appear even more somber. Several days of interrogation seemed to have drained his energy, yet he still stubbornly refused to say anything. With a clang, the iron door opened. Yan Ru's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn't even bother to lift his head. "Hello, Yan Ru. My name is Qin Yuezhang." The man who walked in sat across from Yan Ru, placing his hands…

- Twenty years ago, Xue City experienced a highly publicized case known as the Highway Schoolgirl Sudden Death Case, which had a nationwide impact. An eighteen-year-old girl in the prime of her life was walking alone on a rarely traveled suburban highway in broad daylight when she unfortunately encountered a down-and-out middle-aged man with ill intentions. Seeing the girl's beauty, the man, taking advantage of the deserted surroundings, boldly dragged her into the bushes by the roadside with the intent…

- Does the son of a murderer also become a murderer? Or is it that inferior genes are inherently passed down through bloodlines, generation after generation? Yan Ru bent down and pulled the red-and-green woven bag out from under the bed. He borrowed the small knife I carried with me to try and undo the tightly sealed stitching of the bag's opening. But after fumbling with it for a long time, he only managed to tear a small slit in it. Watching his awkward movements, I heard murmurs from the…
