"I want to confirm something." After leaving the law enforcement officers' shop, Mingmei had a slight doubt on the way back and said, "Is what happened between that girl and Daisy's father true or false? If it's true, the school records wouldn't have written it so lightly when the teacher was dismissed. Moreover, judging from Bai Xiao and the others' roles, they would at least have called the police."

"The police were called...that's why things escalated. And because there was no evidence to prove the other party actually did it, the school used that reason to expel them." (Biquge)

Following up on Mingmei's assumption, Mu Chen's words overturned her previous assumption that it was true.

"That...is it fake?"

Mingmei thought of the post on the school's intranet; judging from the number of posts and the level of activity, there were probably quite a few people in the school who were on it.

Once such a rumor is spread, the other party will be unable to defend themselves, and if they are momentarily distraught, they might indeed do something foolish.

"Then why...why did Daisy's father return to school after being expelled, and then die there?"

Mingmei was once again caught in a state of confusion.

Is there any possibility?

Mu Chen cleared his throat and shared his opinion, "That child does indeed have an ambiguous relationship with a certain elder, but he is not Daisy's father. In fact, he has already discovered who he took with him to seek revenge that night."

"You mean..." Mingmei was startled by Mu Chen's assumption, staring into his eyes and asking, "What evidence do you have?"

“When I went to the hospital to deliver milk, I went to the archives and found Yuan Fang’s medical records. A year ago, he was an emergency patient with severe burns to all four limbs. One of his legs and one of his arms had to be amputated due to infection. That was right after the fire at Chengdong Middle School.”

For a moment, Mingmei didn't know whether she was stunned by Mu Chen's news or by the fact that his milk delivery job was too versatile.

"Your milk can be delivered to schools, police stations, hospitals... is there anywhere it can't be delivered?" After silently processing the issues that Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang had, Mingmei couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of Mu Chen's job.

"Not for now, but the business is quite extensive..." Mu Chen thought for a moment, even if there wasn't one, he could create the conditions.

"What about the current murder case? Yuan Fang clearly doesn't have the strength to carry out the crime, so the suspect is Bai Xiao, but she's a female character."

"But Bai Xiao herself is quite strong, and her skills are excellent. If she wanted to, she could definitely take down those people single-handedly," Mu Chen reminded Ming Mei Bai Xiao of her skills.

"But I don't understand, is Bai Xiao's purpose in doing this to turn the character into a villain? Was it Mona's constant guidance that led her character to do these things?"

If that's true, will Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang's roles affect our later plans?

Mingmei took a deep breath and said all that.

Since entering the game, three out of ten people have been eliminated. We don't know if the identities of the other two will be revealed in the end, and there is still one under the BOSS's nose.

After doing this calculation, Mingmei suddenly felt that her inner self was no longer beautiful.

"We should ask Lillian about this," Mu Chen pointed out to Mingmei who they should look for next.

...

“Jerry and his wife?” Lillian didn’t seem surprised that Mingmei and the others came to her to ask about Bai Xiao and the others. “Mr. Jerry used to be a pharmacist, I think. Mrs. Jerry was a Sanda coach.”

“That’s true…” Mingmei and Mu Chen exchanged a glance, and they understood.

Aside from Bai Xiao's own abilities, the character herself also possesses these skills.

"But what exactly happened to their characters a year later? How did they become like this?" Lillian still felt a little wistful when she mentioned this.

Mu Chen glanced at the other person with a half-smile: "Why have they been like this for the past year? Besides Mona altering their memories, don't you really know anything else?"

Mu Chen didn't believe that this guy whose memories hadn't been altered knew nothing about the content.

“As I said, I divorced and moved away with Mona more than a year ago. Some things happened so long ago that I don’t remember them anymore.”

"No way, how could you not remember? This time is..."

Mingmei wants to say that for some unimportant time points, in games, it's usually not just a black screen and then "N years later" that's glossed over?

Before she could finish speaking, Lily looked at Mingmei and said, "To you, this is just a game, but to us, it is the real world."

Mona controls the entire game world. Without external interference, the NPCs live and grow according to their own paths… Do you think I, as a full-time housewife, have had time to care about my former neighbors for the past year?”

"Okay, I can leave the neighbor matter alone. But how come you went from a career woman to a full-time housewife, enduring domestic violence from your ex-husband, and acting like a completely different person, silently suffering in silence?"

"You investigated me?"

Lillian frowned and glared at Mingmei. She had no idea that Mingmei would come to her former residence to investigate her and discover these things.

Seeing Mingmei's relentless pursuit of detail, Lillian finally confessed her own feelings of unease.

In the original story, she was always a strong woman. Her husband couldn't stand her busy lifestyle and had a very domineering attitude. As a result, her remarriage and neglect of her relationship with her husband and daughter led to an irreparable disaster.

When Mona awakened, perhaps because the role of her mother didn't bring her many pleasant memories, she harbored some malicious thoughts and presumptuously altered the other woman's memories, turning her into what she is now.

She even changed her honest and taciturn biological father, causing him to commit violence against Lillian.

Despite the fact that Lena's later husband did such a thing to Mona in the original story, Mona still remembers him as a very beautiful person.

Therefore, when that time came, Mona forced Lillian to divorce her husband and leave with her.

"What kind of mother are you..."

Listening to what the other person said, Mingmei could only stare at them with a complicated expression for a long time.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to sympathize with the other person or to say that her parenting style was a complete failure.

"But you should know about the trouble your daughter caused with the girl next door, right? You two just walked away and left, while Mona inexplicably killed that girl at school, and the couple is now in this state because of it. Don't you think what you just said is very cold-hearted?"

"Otherwise what? I'm already being very kind by not reporting them for arson at the school, aren't I?" Lillian sneered, looking at the two people who were stunned by the bombshell she had dropped, and continued, "How could my honest and dull ex-husband have an affair with Jerry's daughter? It was clearly someone else who had the affair; he was just a scapegoat."
