Before coming to Xuncheng, Fu Xuanliao made a trip to the Shi family home. During the day, Shi Sihui’s case, for which she was the mastermind, went to trial. The victim naturally did not attend. Fortunately, the prosecution was diligent, and the victim’s family, Li Bihan, also hired a lawyer to assist. The trial proceeded smoothly, and the verdict announced in court matched expectations. Shi Sihui did not file an appeal. She stood with her back to the audience, wearing handcuffs, and did not turn her…-

Leaving the prosecutor’s office, Shi Meng got into Jiang Xue’s car and headed toward her home. “I made you pig’s trotters soup,” Jiang Xue said while driving. “It’s good for recovery. Drink a bowl as soon as we get home.” Hearing the word “home” twice in such a short time, Shi Meng was slightly taken aback. He subconsciously said, “You don’t need to go to all that trouble. I’ll only stay for two days and then leave.” Jiang Xue paused. “Leave? Go where?” “Outside…

After spending the entire afternoon at the police station, it was nearly dark by the time Fu Xuanliao returned home. He parked the car and released the steering wheel, then raised his hand to examine his palm. There was a bloody scratch from the knife blade when he cut the ropes on the boat. Shi Meng's injuries were certainly much more severe than this. The doctor had previously said he could recover enough for normal life, but painting would depend on future rehabilitation. He already possessed so…

(Part 1) That night, Fu Xuanliao returned home after a long absence, but still couldn't get a good night's sleep. His mind was overloaded with information. After days of turmoil, he finally found a moment of peace. As soon as Fu Xuanliao closed his eyes, he couldn't help but start organizing the intelligence he had gathered. Although Shi Huaiyi spoke vaguely, it couldn't stop the truth from surfacing. He said Shi Mu only learned about his parentage five years ago, which was reasonable. For the first…

Adhering to the principle of not escalating the situation, Shi Huaiyi kept the truth hidden as much as possible, answering vaguely. "Mu Mu found out five years ago after he fell ill. Because Yang Youlan, his birth mother, came to the hospital to do Bone Marrow Matching, I told her not to cause trouble, but she insisted she could save Mu Mu... Only later, when I pressed her, did she admit that she was Mu Mu's mother." "It was also then that I learned the two children had been switched. You know the…

(Part 1) The night was turbulent with wind and rain, and wild fires shattered the silence. Later, the sky darkened, turning a hazy gray. In a daze, Fu Xuanliao heard someone softly say in his ear: "You should go. I'm letting you go." He resisted understanding the meaning of the words, instinctively clenching his fists, trying to grasp something. When he was shaken awake, he opened his eyes groggily. Above him was the clear blue sky, and beneath his feet was solid ground. Only then did he confirm that he…

Perhaps fearing he might actually hurt him, the knife Shi Meng bought hadn't been sharpened and wasn't very sharp. It took Fu Xuanliao a great deal of effort just to saw through one strand of the hemp rope, leaving his chest and back slick with sweat. Just as he was about to use his arm strength to break free from the loosening restraints, a piece of paper was suddenly held up less than ten centimeters from his eyes. Fu Xuanliao quickly gripped the blade back into his palm, enduring the pain as he…

Shi Meng did not choose the route taken by the other fishing boats; perhaps this boat had no fixed direction to begin with. By the time they drifted into an uninhabited area of the sea, the sun had risen high, illuminating the wheelhouse brightly. Only then did Fu Xuanliao clearly see the furnishings inside the cabin: the table, chairs, radar, walkie-talkie... all standard equipment. However, there were few signs of life on this boat; not even a single drinking cup was visible. Scanning the area again,…

Fu Xuanliao was not good at remembering things, and he was even less inclined to waste brain cells on insignificant people. Therefore, when faced with Zhang Hao, who claimed to be his junior and approached him with boundary-less flattery, he felt only resistance and annoyance. Yet, Zhang Hao was exceptionally thick-skinned. He failed to notice that Fu Xuanliao didn't want to waste words on him. After being rejected when suggesting a small gathering at Heting Club, he offered to treat him to dinner. When…

It started raining outside again. The top floor single-patient rooms still had other occupants, so a nurse stepped forward to remind everyone not to speak loudly. The police decided to move everyone to the dedicated family waiting room on the same floor. Once the door was closed, separating them from the outside world, the atmosphere became even quieter. Hearing that Shi Meng was missing, Shi Huaiyi anxiously said, “He ran away himself? He was so severely injured, just transferred from the ICU to a…
