Once in the room, he grinned. This was the home he had longed to return to. The initial cautiousness he felt upon arriving was gone, and the joy of being with his family was wonderful.

Shao Yifang went missing, and the news quickly spread throughout the school. Even Qian Xiao, who didn't often go out and gather information, heard about it.

Sun Kaicheng and Qian Xiao huddled together: "Do you know what happened?"

Sun Kaicheng nodded and then shook his head: "I don't know much, but it's still a secret for now. I heard they've been asked to leave." He pointed upwards with one finger.

Qian Xiao, with an air of knowing everything, said, "Then it's fine. I'll be on holiday the day after tomorrow. What about you?"

"I need another week, can you wait two days for me?"

"Sure, I'll take this opportunity to look around and buy some things to take back. I've been here for half a year and haven't had a proper chance to go out and have some fun yet."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

Sun Kaicheng was a little worried. There were quite a few troublemakers around here who didn't do anything productive and just wandered around all day. He was afraid that if Erdan encountered such people, he might lose his temper and throw a punch to teach them a lesson.

The consequences are easy to resolve, but it's best to avoid such things if possible. He doesn't want Comrade Erdan to be noticed by others, as that would lead to endless trouble.

Qian Xiao looked at Sun Kaicheng strangely: "Aren't you busy? Don't worry, I have a mouth under my nose. If I can't find the way, I'll ask for directions and I won't get lost."

"Okay, be careful when you go out. If you run into anything unpleasant, tell me and I'll get revenge for you later. Just don't resort to your fists."

Qian Xiao patted Sun Kaicheng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I know. Everyone living here is a capable person. I won't be stupid enough to get into a direct conflict with them."

She's not stupid. Given her family's circumstances, even if she gets into a conflict with someone and gets upset, she won't secretly seek revenge. She can just stand up for herself without hesitation, which is different from living in the village.

"It's so cold. Let's go eat."

Shao Yifang sat on the narrow wooden bed, looking at a small patch of sky outside the tiny window. She was still completely bewildered. How had she been arrested? She hadn't done anything wrong; at most, she had just wanted to take revenge on the Shao family.

But she didn't actually do it herself. She just said a few provocative words. They got angry and started fighting. What does that have to do with her?

It's been seven days. She was only interrogated once when she first came in, and no one has paid any attention to her since. She feels like she's going crazy from being cooped up in this small room.

She knew that as long as she explained herself properly, she could change her environment, but how was she supposed to answer those questions? She had already said that the things were given to her by her mysterious master, but why didn't those people believe her? This excuse used to work very well.

Even if she were stupid, she knew she couldn't reveal the system's existence. But if she didn't, would she be locked up like this forever? Why was God so unfair? She had just had a few good days, why couldn't He see her having a good time?

Shao Yifang stared blankly at the sky outside the window, unaware that a small hole had opened in the door behind her, and someone was peering inside for a long time.

"She still hasn't revealed anything?"

"We haven't heard from her yet these past few days. We're thinking of detaining her for a few days first to see if we can break through her defenses."

The man who asked the question nodded: "Bring the person out, I'll ask him some more questions."

"yes"

The man first walked to an interrogation room, sat down, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it. If Qian Wangcai saw this man, he would definitely recognize him. Wasn't this the person who interrogated him back then?

The man looked out the window through the smoke in front of his eyes. He didn't know why, but several similar incidents had occurred in the past two years. As long as the person was arrested and interrogated, all of their abilities would disappear within a few days.

The word "system" kept appearing in his ears. He didn't know what a system was, only that it was a very magical thing, and they had been trying to find traces of this system.

Unfortunately, the system always disappears without a trace, making it impossible for people to imagine what it actually is.

Hopefully, this time we can find some clues. The man looked at Shao Yifang as she entered, stubbed out his cigarette, raised his chin, and gestured for Shao Yifang to sit opposite him.

Shao Yifang was a little nervous. On the way out, the system kept warning her in her mind, not letting her talk about the existence of the system. It said that if she did, it would activate the self-destruct program and her head would explode.

Could a person survive if their head exploded? She didn't even dare to think about the consequences. But if she didn't say anything, she could only remain imprisoned like this. It was only at this moment that her mind seemed to clear up.

She had done so many foolish things since she got the system. If she had been more careful, would she have been kept in the dark?

The man didn't speak, but sat opposite Shao Yifang, creating an opposing aura that made it hard for her to breathe, forcing her to try to recall everything she had done in the past six months.

Shao Yifang's life in the countryside was not good. Because she was ugly since she was a child, even the children in the village did not like to play with her. The woman of her foster family said that she was a freeloader and would not be fed if she did not work.

She often went hungry. It seems that she was doing alright before the age of five. After the age of five, it seems that her childhood ended prematurely. She had to do all the housework and even had to go to the fields to farm. Clearly, the children in that family didn't have to go to the fields to work before the age of ten.

She knew she was abandoned by her parents because of her appearance. Every time she did a bad job and was scolded, she was repeatedly reminded of this. She had no ability or courage to resist. She thought that her own parents didn't want her because she looked like this. If she resisted and was kicked out, would she have any chance of survival?

At that time, she thought that although it was a bit hard, at least she could go to school, which was much better than many girls in the village. She was naively grateful to that family.

It was only later, when she overheard gossip from the villagers, that she learned that being fostered here wasn't a free lunch. Every month, her biological family would give money to the foster family, and she heard it was quite a lot. It would be enough to support not just her, but three or four children.

From that day on, the seeds of hatred were sown in her heart. She hated her biological parents for giving birth to her and then abandoning her, and she hated the greed of her foster family for giving her so much money and then abusing her.

She still remembers that day when she was being beaten and scolded for not washing a piece of clothing properly. She couldn't help but retort, and was then whipped even more violently. When she tried to dodge, the back of her head hit a stone on the ground. She thought she wouldn't make it through that day.
