You Mingxu found his appearance even more ironic. She lowered her head, gazing at her own reflection in his beautiful, deep eyes, and whispered softly, "Maybe you won't remember what I'm saying tomorrow after the drugs wear off... But Yin Feng, stop deluding yourself. I was just playing around these past few days—how could I possibly really love you?"
Yin Feng seemed a bit dazed.
You Mingxu jumped off the bed, pulled open the door, and found Chen Feng waiting outside with a doctor. Without a word, she returned to her room, changed her clothes, and gathered her belongings. She went downstairs, left the house, and walked through the garden in the deep, silent night. The elderly ex-convict hurried to open the gate for her, and she stepped alone into the darkness.

Yin Feng had been suffering for a while, so when the doctor administered the injection, he fell into a deep sleep. After seeing the doctor off, Chen Feng headed to the garage.
Two subordinates were restraining Shu Xue. Chen Feng walked straight up to her and slapped her. Shu Xue cried out in pain, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Chen Feng wiped his hands impatiently, sat down in a nearby chair, and glanced at her sideways. "I already know someone here was foolish enough to help you sneak in. Wanting to relieve Teacher Yin's stress isn't wrong in itself. But first, you messed up. Second, who gave you the right to spout nonsense in front of her, claiming you and Teacher Yin used drugs to enhance the mood? You only went out with him a few times—since when were you his official girlfriend?"
Shu Xue covered her face, sobbing, "I truly love him... admire him... I want him to get better soon too..."
Chen Feng raised a hand dismissively. "Get out immediately, and never show your face around Teacher Yin again. Also, you're aware of Teacher Yin's condition and what happened tonight. If you breathe a single word of this to anyone, I'll end you."
—
The next day.
Chen Feng pushed open the slightly ajar bedroom door and saw Yin Feng sitting on the bed, staring out the window, motionless.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Teacher Yin, it's time to get up. You have a book signing event later."
Yin Feng turned to look at him, his lips pouted, his eyes filled with sorrow and regret. Chen Feng thought: Damn, does he actually remember?
Master and servant sat in silence for a moment before Yin Feng murmured, "Xiao Fengzi, I have nothing left to live for."
Chen Feng's mouth twitched. "Why?"
Yin Feng looked up at the ceiling for a while and whispered, "She can play with me however she wants. But why is it impossible for us...?"

You Mingxu watched the name "Yin Feng" flashing repeatedly on her phone screen. She hung up again and set it to silent mode.
Fan Jia walked over carrying a stack of documents. "Two things. First, the two juvenile offenders in the exchanged murder case have confessed truthfully. The legal process will follow. Ugh, Liu Ruoyu's family still hasn't shown up—all the pushing and shoving disgusts me. As for Li Biran, his parents are going crazy. They're causing a scene in the front hall right now, claiming the police framed their son and threatening to petition higher authorities. I can't even..."
You Mingxu remained silent. Every family's suffering has its original sin.
The children committed the crimes.
But who is the true culprit?
"One more thing," Fan Jia said. "A few days ago, Gu Tiancheng was in a car accident during transport. The vehicle went off a cliff, and his body hasn't been recovered yet. The driver fled the scene and is currently being pursued."
You Mingxu froze.That cold-hearted man who had resolved to become a serial killer and slaughtered countless people actually ended his life in such a sudden and unjust manner.
Did Gu Tiancheng, in his final moments, feel that this was also the ultimate answer bestowed upon him by the heavens?
