She was crying her eyes out, and Rong Shang was initially quite disgusted. But when she saw the other woman's red eyes and thought about all the hardships she had endured over the years, her displeasure dissipated considerably.
She also reached out and pulled a few tissues from the table on the right for her to wipe herself.
But Bai's mother didn't take her tissue.
She stopped wailing, but now, with all the pain and fear swallowed back down and replaced by sobs, she looked even more heartbroken.
During the silence, Bai's mother grabbed her hands and said, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, shall we leave here?"
She didn't want to stay here anymore.
The murderer has never been caught. What if, what if those people eventually say that she is the murderer?
She didn't kill the person; she doesn't want to go to jail.
With messages being relayed to her again and again, Mrs. Bai was truly going crazy.
Her colleagues at the other workplace were gossiping about her behind her back, and every time the police relayed a message, her neighbors in the building would look at her with strange eyes.
She did nothing wrong, so why should she suffer such controversy?
"Xiaoyu, let's go back to the countryside. Didn't you say before that you wanted to visit my parents' home?"
By the end, Bai's mother's voice cracked, "Xiaoyu, please? I'm begging you."
"mom."
Rong Shang frowned.
Because of Nan Qiaosheng, she cannot immediately agree to let her leave this place.
But she could understand her situation to some extent.
"Could you give me a little time to think about it?"
Or perhaps she can find a way to remedy the situation.
However, Bai's mother was emotionally unstable at the moment. Upon hearing what she said, she immediately sat down on the ground and started crying.
The heart-wrenching cries were incredibly piercing.
Rong Shang kept her brows furrowed, and finally, having no other choice, she went out and went to the taekwondo gym again.
The door was closed, but the lights upstairs were still on.
Rong Shang didn't have his phone number, so she could only shout a few times towards his room window.

Snap!
I poured her a glass of water and placed it on the table.
Nan Qiaosheng took a step back and looked at her. "It's so late, is there something else?"
He was thinking about what she had said that night, and he assumed that she had come here again to say something like asking him to consider her.
Suddenly, the girl in front of him stood up, her gaze cold, and asked, "Nan Qiaosheng, why did you kill him?"
When she first saw the murderer, she didn't intend to expose him.
Because she herself knew that the two people who died were not good people.
But things are different now; the police have been investigating this case.
If the murderer cannot be found, then Mrs. Bai will definitely become the police's prime suspect.
Just like what Bai's mother said, she didn't kill anyone, and she can have a clear conscience.
However, it's impossible to say that repeated relaying of messages like today won't have an impact.
His dark eyes flickered slightly, and Nan Qiaosheng tightened his grip on his hand, which was in his pocket. "What did you say?"
He watched as she raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat puzzled.
"You're saying I killed someone?"
"Bai Xiaoyu, have you been blown silly by the wind?"
Even when he's angry, he's so gentle. He's so different from the murderer from that night.
If she hadn't met the other man, she could still believe that this had nothing to do with him.
But... she saw it.
The two stood face to face, and because Rong Shang's expression was very cold, the atmosphere around them became stiff.
"Isn't that so?"
"And who was he last weekend night?"
"..."
