A week later, a news item quickly rose to the top of the trending searches.
A man found a severed hand in a sewer.
This incident quickly attracted the attention of the media and the police. Under the police's full investigation, a lot of small pieces of human tissue were extracted from the sewer.
Undoubtedly, this was a brutal criminal case.
[That's terrible... I heard the police only found broken bones... Was the body dismembered?]
Who on earth is so cruel?!
[Oh my god! How tragic, they couldn't even find a complete body.]
Holy crap! This happened pretty close to me! It's made me afraid to go out lately.
Has the deceased's identity been confirmed yet?
[It can only be confirmed that the deceased was a young woman.]
[What a pitiful girl. How heartbroken her parents will be if they find out.]
[I heard that the sewer was connected to a septic tank, and the pipes of several nearby residential areas were connected to that septic tank, making the police search very difficult. They could only confirm that the bone fragments were from a human body.]
[Oh...how tragic...this murderer is a disgrace to society! I hope the police can solve the case quickly and bring justice to the victim.]
Such a brutal crime is utterly heinous! Hopefully, the police can identify the perpetrator quickly; otherwise, the nearby residents will live in constant fear. Who knows if this killer will strike again?
Who is the deceased? Have any young women gone missing recently?
The discussion surrounding this incident quickly surged ahead of others. Social cases can generate far more discussion than entertainment news, since no one wants to encounter a socially unstable individual like the perpetrator.
At this moment, a woman is standing in front of a mirror, looking at her reflection and slowly curving her red lips.
So what if the police find out?
They will never guess her identity.
She raised her hand in front of the mirror and touched the smooth skin on her face.
She suffered so much for this face.
Four whole years...
It took her four whole years to become the owner of this face; during those four years, the needles stuck in her face could fill a whole wall.
Everything she has now is what she deserves.
The right to use this face, its identity, family background, and rights belong to her from today onwards.
She used to lose because she didn't have a family background that gave her confidence, but things are different now.
Now she is the daughter of the famous pharmaceutical group Wang family, and with this backing, she can finally do whatever she wants.
She will take back everything she lost in the past, and all the pain she has suffered over the years, little by little.
Thinking of this, she stepped to the window and looked at the bustling traffic outside, her eyes gradually burning with anger.
Jiang Ran...you never expected I'd be back, did you?
Yes! Jiang Xinrou is not dead!
She turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She had to admit that Wang Jingxian's face was really good to use. It was worth all the 207 surgeries she had undergone over the years to finally look like her.
Only she herself knows how much suffering she has endured over the years.
If it weren't for her belief in revenge, she wouldn't have survived until now.
Over the years, because she dared not reveal her true identity, she could only wander among men she despised. Just to survive, she gave up all her self-respect and pride, and now even her body is ruined.
The doctor said she was no longer able to have children and had contracted an incurable disease; she didn't have much time left to live!
And all of this is because of Jiang Ran!
Without her, I could have lived happily ever after, and I could have remained that joyful little princess forever.
She's lived a life worse than a dog these past few years, while Jiang Ran has thrived and is now getting engaged to Huo Siyan.
Why should I?!
She wanted Jiang Ran to suffer all the pain she had endured over the years! Otherwise, she would die with regrets!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xinrou's eyes flashed with intense hatred.
Just then, Wang's mother knocked on the door and came in carrying a bowl of chicken soup.
"Jingxian, are you asleep? Mom had someone make you some chicken soup. You ate so little for dinner, you must be hungry now, right? Finish the chicken soup before you go to sleep." Wang's mother placed the chicken soup on the bedside table, a gentle smile on her face.
Jiang Xinrou's eyes were a little dazed. After a while, she nodded and said, "I understand. I'll drink it later."
"Alright, then Mom won't bother you anymore. Mom knows you're sad because of Si Yan's engagement, but there are other men in this world besides him. My daughter is so beautiful, why worry about not meeting someone who suits her in the future?"
"Hmm...you can go now."
Jiang Xinrou had neither the interest nor the patience to listen to what she was saying.
Now, she has only one thought in her mind.
That is revenge!
As for Wang Jingxian?
Blame it on this woman for being so stupid!
She had her eye on Wang Jingxian four years ago; her identity and appearance were exactly what she wanted.
Over the years, she has gone to the plastic surgery hospital almost once a week. After her unremitting efforts, she finally underwent plastic surgery last month to resemble Wang Jingxian.
There can't be two Wang Jingxians in this world. After last month when she could only go out wearing a human skin mask with terrifying scars, she became even more convinced of this idea.
One Wang Jingxian is enough for this world, so Wang Jingxian must die.
It's her good fortune to be able to contribute to her path of revenge; she can only blame herself for being too stupid.
She was even less afraid of her coming back as a vengeful ghost; she had already died once, and there was nothing that could frighten her.
With that thought in mind, her gaze fell on an invitation on the table.
She reached out and picked it up; it was none other than an invitation to Jiang Ran and Huo Siyan's engagement.
A cruel smile slowly crept onto Jiang Xinrou's lips.
Are you getting engaged? And the person you're engaged to is Huo Siyan.
Jiang Ran must feel very proud and happy right now, right?
Then she'll turn her joyous occasion into a tragedy!
It won't be long, she'll just have to wait and see!
......
Jiang Ran has been in a daze these past few days.
She's actually getting engaged... even though it's just acting, it's completely different from the future she'd ever imagined.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ran smiled her signature smile.
Oh well, it's only been three years.
For the next three years, she will do her job as an actress and absolutely cannot let anyone see anything amiss.
Just then, a familiar car pulled up beside her.
"Miss Jiang, please get in the car." Wen Qing got out of the car and opened the car door for her.
"Thanks."
Jiang Ran got into the car, and Huo Siyan was in the back seat, holding a document in his hand.
They had arranged to try on the custom-made dresses together today.
After the car had driven some distance, a figure suddenly darted out from the side of the previously deserted road—
