That night, Shi Meng truly had a dream. He dreamed he was lying on the cold ground, his eyes blindfolded, unable to see anything. His other senses, outside of sight, became acute in the darkness. He heard approaching footsteps, and immediately felt a piercing pain in his right hand. He wanted to run, but his hands and feet were bound, leaving him immobile. He wanted to call for help, but when he opened his mouth, no sound came out. The pain jolted him awake. He raised his right hand and found, just as…-

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…

One night passed, and it was just dawn when Fu Xuanliao woke up. He washed up in the private room of the club and put on the three-piece suit prepared by the police last night. When he opened the door and went out, he met Gao Lecheng who had returned from the spa room. "It's so early, don't you want to sleep more?" Frowning at the pungent scent of his friend, Fu Xuanxiao took a step aside: "No, the company is holding a regular meeting." "Hey, Mr. Fu is online." Gao Lecheng closed his tight bathrobe to…

(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,…
