"I will help you find the real culprit who killed him, but please release my friend. I will get his head back."

Lin Weiwei's legs were already numb. Taking advantage of the last bit of strength before the alcohol took effect, she replied to him, "Are you sure it's Li Yao? I guarantee it's not him. Finding the real culprit is the most important thing."

She had met the boy that time; he was sunny, cheerful, and smart, and seemed easy to get along with. The only person he might have offended directly was Li Yao, but his father was another matter entirely. He was too shrewd and might have offended many people. Just as the internet speculated, Han Han, a first-class fugitive, had no connection with him, so there was no question of a grudge.

The rich man nodded approvingly. "What a spirited woman. She gave a satisfactory result after careful consideration. Moreover, she brought Rabbit to negotiate all by herself. She was indeed born a special agent. Rabbit's prediction was not false." He whistled, and a group of people came from behind the stage, supporting a man wearing a black hood. His figure was instantly recognizable as Xiao Se.

After delivering the person, they left, lay down on the soft sofa, and, having exhausted all their strength, took off his hood and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, she was wearing a black nightgown, lying on a large velvet bed. The rubber pillow was so comfortable that she didn't want to turn over. Pulling back the covers, Lin Weiwei realized she had never worn this nightgown before. So who changed her?

"Xiao Se, you stallion! Get out here!"

"He went to class. The nanny changed your clothes. I'm hungry."

Mr. Rabbit didn't leave; instead, he chose to stay with them, flapping his ears, sticking out his bottom and wagging his tail by her shoulder. His golden-brown tail looked like a cotton ball.

She pressed her temples and noticed a glass of warm water on the bedside table. Her mouth was dry, so she started drinking it. There was also a photo of him on the table; it was Xiaohan!

No, that's not right. The girl in this photo has lost all her hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair. It's not the Xiao Han we know now. Looking at his face through the faint glimmer in the girl's eyes, I felt a pang of heartache, a mixture of reluctance and longing.

"His first love? What's so great about her? She's not even as pretty as you."

With a loud bang, the rabbit crashed into the door; being kicked away was a kind of enjoyment in itself.

She got dressed and went to Mangxing University for class. Why did she feel a little sour after learning about the relationship between Xiao Se and the other person? He must have loved his first love very much back then, since he still kept the photos so well after all this time.

A big hug came from behind her. It was her new classmate, Xiao Han. The appearance of someone who looked so much like her first love, could it also be a huge conspiracy? Lin Weiwei grabbed her wrist. There was a heartbeat and warmth, so it couldn't be Han Han.

"Little brother, I'm so scared, she's grabbing my hand and it hurts!"

She got goosebumps from hearing this, sat back down, and glanced at Xiao Se, who handed her a band-aid with a helpless expression.

"What a jerk! He must be trying to pick up the new classmate." She groaned and slumped onto the table, scrolling through her phone. Her inbox contained a file—an autopsy report.

There were no signs of violent impact or fighting on his body, only a crack the size of a wire on his neck. Before he died, the boy stared wide-eyed ahead with a look of terror in his eyes, as if he had seen something frightening in his life.

"Are you feeling better?" Xiao Se asked with concern, handing her a glass of warm water. He looked exhausted and had bruises on his lips, indicating that he had been beaten up by the rich man's gang last night.

"Yes, it's alright, thank you."

Thank you? She actually thanked him? It felt so distant. Didn't she feel any emotion, or even admiration? Her calmness made her seem a bit cold.

Last night, he risked his life by deliberately setting fire to the entire building, from top to bottom, and even ran around the perimeter several times, all to buy Weiwei a little time. His feet were bleeding from the burns. He could have at least pleaded a little, sigh...

"A perfect crime. There were no fingerprints or footprints at the scene. Even in high-definition surveillance footage, no one could be found. And the crime occurred in his own home. What else do you have to say?"

He handed the phone files to Xiao Se. If it really was Li Yao who did it, his obsessive-compulsive disorder would have left no trace, but the security cameras at the scene didn't show any trace of him either. To be able to successfully sneak into the house, know Li Quan's family's itinerary that night, and leave the boy at home, it must have been a vicious act committed by someone they knew.

"You still choose to believe it wasn't him who killed him. I know him too well. Even if he didn't kill him himself, it must have been Li Yao who ordered it! Weiwei, don't you even believe me?"

Xiao Se was open and honest about his love. He wouldn't gossip behind Weiwei's back just because they were both pursuing her. Just wait, the evidence would come sooner or later. He put away his books and walked out of the classroom, no longer interested in listening. He could disbelieve anyone else, but not Lin Weiwei.

Looking at his determined expression, Lin Weiwei frowned. Her first love was no longer willing to skip class. Perhaps she had asked the wrong person; the Prophecy Rabbit should know something.

After school, she went straight to Xiao Se's house, only to find that Xiao Se had not returned yet. She saw that cotton ball with its tail sticking out next to the TV, holding a bucket of popcorn and eating it.

"Rabbit, did you already know that boy would die?"

"A carrot, a question—you can't expect it for free."

He blinked, crumbs still clinging to the corners of his mouth, and mumbled something with his three-lobed lips.

This little guy is so clever! Luckily, I bought a lot of carrots in my backpack, and they were all the freshest ones. When I handed them to him, he caught them with both feet.

"Of course, I told his father not to go horse racing, but he didn't listen at all because he wanted to gain fame."

This answer was as good as saying nothing. If his father hadn't known he was severing ties with us before he died, he certainly wouldn't have come looking for us. Perhaps she hadn't asked the right question, so she pulled out another carrot.

"Is Li Yao the real culprit?"

"Mysterious Person"

Again, the answer was irrelevant; this rabbit was clearly just trying to fool her. Suppressing her last bit of patience, she took out a carrot.

"Since the museum belongs to the bald guy, and you belong to him too, why are you still willing to follow me?"

"I'd love to!"

At this moment, Mr. Rabbit was holding three big carrots, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. These carrots were so big that they could fill the gaps between his teeth and were chewy.

Lin Weiwei completely broke down, feeling like she'd been made a fool of, as if the rabbit hadn't intended to tell her anything. She snatched the carrot from her hand, grabbed the rabbit, threw it into the trash can, slammed the door, and stormed off.

"Hmph, what a shameless liar! He just wants to ask for nothing! I've told you everything, why should I make you investigate?"

He struggled to climb out of the trash can, brushed the grime off his clothes, looked at the open window, and twitched his ears as he chased after her. "Miss Lin Weiwei, you went through so much trouble to find me, how could you so heartlessly abandon me? I won't stand for it!"
