......
Reality truly is more bizarre than fiction.
Lu Ding suddenly recalled that incident where an ordinary security guard used a shovel to deflect several bullets fired by ard hostage-takers.
That was equally fantastical.
Returning to the present.
Wutian comnted nearby: "It seems this person working with the Most Violent Victory holds so grudge against the Gao family."
"From targeting ordinary people to Qi Refiners, then random Qi Refiners to specifically the Gao family's Qi Refiners - it's like they instantly found their true target."
Listening to Wutian's words,
Lu Ding reviewed the docunts.
"Whether there's actual hatred is uncertain, but this person probably isn't stupid. If there were truly deep-seated vengeance, acting like this would only expose themselves."
"Moreover, the 749 Bureau agents aren't fools either - they'd definitely consider this angle. So anyone with grievances against the Gao family would imdiately beco pri suspects."
"The fact they haven't been caught yet suggests that even if the killer does hate the Gaos, it's probably not so earth-shattering vendetta."
"Or perhaps the killer is exceptionally good at hiding."
Having said this,
Lu Ding picked up his phone to review the available information several more tis.
They still had so ti before arriving at their destination anyway.
Might as well use this idle ti productively.
anwhile,
Elsewhere.
Green Vine.
Dubbed the "Sleepless City of Great Han".
An entertainnt industry paradise blooming everywhere.
Its culinary scene particularly renowned nationwide.
This combination attracted hordes of young people.
Green Vine City, Brewery Street, Hong'an Residential District.
The cara zooms into Unit 702.
A woman in a shirt and fraless glasses deftly wields her knife, expertly processing liver.
Paper-thin slices accumulate on the plate before being added to boiling congee in an earthen pot.
After tasting a spoonful, Fu Yun's face blossoms with satisfaction.
Sunlight seeping through window cracks illuminates her exquisitely beautiful features,
Between her brows faintly revealing suppressed madness.
Adjusting her glasses,
Fu Yun carefully portions the pork liver congee before carrying the bowl to push open the bedroom door.
The scene inside imdiately unfolds.
The entire bedroom is hertically sealed with transparent plastic sheeting.
In the corner crouches a bloodstained young girl.
Fu Yun's face blooms with gentle warmth as she approaches.
"Ti to eat. Your condition keeps worsening - let's have so congee today to nourish your stomach."
While speaking, Fu Yun places the bowl on the floor.
She reaches to retrieve a golden chain pinned beneath the girl,
And pulls.
The girl's body is yanked forward by the force.
The chain's other end is anchored directly into her spinal column.
Biting back pain,
The girl dares not cry out,
Only crawling obediently toward the congee bowl.
Any Gao family mber present would instantly recognize their long-missing third young mistress - Gao Bing.
The woman brings over a stool to sit.
Crossing her perfectly proportioned long legs,
She lifts Gao Bing's chin with one foot, forcing eye contact.
"Every ti I see this expression of yours," Fu Yun muses, "I wonder how soone wrapped in jade and gold could have displayed such poor upbringing before?"
"Isn't this so much better now? Obedient, pitiful, yet stubborn - just like an adorable little puppy."
"Helpless... yet yearning~"
Gao Bing stares at the seated woman, unable to suppress her emotions: "You insane monster!!"
"Why don't you just kill ? Or butcher like you did those other Gao family Qi Refiners!"
"That way I can prepare properly in hell to greet your arrival!"
Hearing this,
Fu Yun slowly leans forward, chin propped on hand, her expression tender as she responds:
"Insane? I thought I'd maintained my facade rather well these past twenty-so years."
"I could have kept pretending too - just a few more days until my thirtieth birthday, living an ordinary life peacefully."
"Mm... A job earning millions annually, a cozy little ho of my own with an oversized balcony."
"The balcony filled with plants I'd nurtured."
"On rainy days I'd sit there with a glass of sweet wine, painting those 'elegant' works people praise but never purchase - my little bloody masterpieces."
"That was my life's aspiration."
"How unfortunate then, that your Gao family had to barge uninvited into my existence."
As she speaks, Fu Yun reaches out to caress Gao Bing's jade-sculpted face with heartbreaking tenderness,
Then suddenly pinches the cheeks.
"Let's discuss your fourth brother - the genius Qi Refiner, most beloved young master of Gao Corporation. Pampered in silks and satins, having seen every type of woman, yet bizarrely infatuated with - a woman ten years his senior, hahaha..."
"Never mind my consent, he kept performing those self-gratifying courtship displays that beca such trendous nuisances."
"So you murdered him!" Gao Bing glares coldly.
Fu Yun pretends to ponder: "That was part of it, but not the whole reason. At that ti I couldn't have killed him anyway - he was a Qi Refiner while I remained ordinary."
"Then you made your glorious entrance - wanton, arrogant, treating everyone as beneath notice. Honestly, I preferred you."
Here Fu Yun slightly frowns, self-correcting: "No, that's not quite right."
"Mm... Your wild arrogance was innate, born with you. I appreciate that type, but not your particular flavor."
"I rember how you looked at then - as if I were garbage, yet not quite contemptuous enough. More insulting really. Poor upbringing also made like you less intensely."
"But your brother lacked that gaze entirely."
"Thus his harassnt rely annoyed . When you stord in demanding I stay away from him without even hearing my side, I politely suggested you should make him leave instead."
"And what did you do? Turned and left, using your influence to get fired, blacklisted from every company. Jobless, I panicked."
"I was approaching thirty, after all."
"The anxiety consud ."
"Just an ordinary woman dreaming of spacious apartnts and pretty cars - without work, how?"
"To soothe my nerves, I decided to travel. Thus began fate's gears turning."
"Who could imagine this seemingly mundane world hid such extraordinary existences?"
"Step by step I progressed toward new life pursuits."
"Slice by exquisite slice, I disassembled your brother Gao Han with surgical precision."
"Don't just listen - eat, eat up now."
