At night, the light bulbs in the corridor swayed in the wind.
When Rong Shang and Nan Qiaosheng walked past Aunt Li's house, they were greeted with a few words.
When she returned to the small house next door and opened the door, it was quiet inside.
Rong Shang was still standing at the door when she called out to the house, "Mom, our boss is here, please cook more food."
Turning around, she looked at the man standing behind her and smiled lazily, "Please."
“…” Nan Qiaosheng was somewhat helpless.
He didn't even know why he was coming to freeload again.
Perhaps it's because of her shamelessness?
Because he had never seen anyone who would stubbornly stay in his office and refuse to leave.
He said all sorts of harsh things back then, even saying he would fire her.
But she just wouldn't leave, insisting that he come to her house for dinner.
He can't just hit someone, can he?
With a soft "hmm," Nan Qiaosheng stepped inside.
Who knew that they had only just gotten their footing?
Before the girl behind could close the door, Aunt Li hurried over from next door. "Xiaoyu, there's something I forgot to tell you. Your mother has been summoned by the police. They say the matter from last time isn't over yet."
It's really strange, how could the newly installed surveillance camera suddenly break down?
Even if that's all, shouldn't the murderer leave some traces after killing someone?
For example, shoe prints, fingerprints.
Even without these, we still don't know how Cheng San and Grandpa Wang died.
And that night, didn't that woman Qin Su say that when she went out to open the door for someone, she was inexplicably slashed?
This...sigh.
It's a complete mess.
She kept muttering something to herself, and Rong Shang smiled and called out to her, "Auntie."
"ah?"
"I said I understand." So, are you leaving or...?
"Okay, okay." Aunt Li smiled sheepishly, glanced behind Rong Shang with a gossipy look, then put her hands in her pockets before saying, "Then Auntie will go back now."
"You can heat up your food yourself."
"Yes, thank you, Auntie."

Around 7 o'clock, Rong Shang heated up the food in the kitchen and brought it out herself.
When Nan Qiaosheng saw her arrive, he asked, "What happened?"
She knew he was referring to the incident where Bai's mother was called over by the police.
I just find it funny. Is he acting?
She handed him chopsticks and sat down opposite him.
As she put food into her bowl, she replied casually, "It's nothing. Someone died here a few days ago, and my mother happened to be there and witnessed everything."
"Oh, I see." He nodded, his expression unchanged.
As Rong Shang ate, she looked at him, and at certain moments, she couldn't help but want to ask him, "How was it? Was killing someone satisfying?"
But after thinking about it, I realized he wouldn't admit it.
There was one thing she found strange.
Why is this person so schizophrenic?
Why... did he kill those two people? Was there some grudge between them?
...
Around nine o'clock, Bai's mother dragged her tired body in from outside.
Nan Qiaosheng had already left by then.
As soon as Bai's mother entered the door, she hugged Rong Shang and began to wail loudly.
Rong Shang knew that she hadn't been eating or sleeping well lately because of what happened to Grandpa Wang, so she comforted her with a few words.
But that still couldn't stop her from crying.
She suffered so much.
After Bai Xiaoyu's father passed away, Bai's mother worked three jobs to support Bai Xiaoyu's university education.
She wasn't afraid of being poor.
But this is a matter of life and death. She has lived a life of integrity and does not want to be falsely accused in the latter half of her life.
How will she be able to navigate society after this?
