Yu Wen cut to the chase: "Do you know the author of 'The Third Dead,' a person whose identity cannot be found?"
"So what if we know each other, so what if we don't?" Duan Mu's words were ambiguous, without a definite answer.
Yu Wen frowned again. "Just tell me if you two know each other."
Feng Guang couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so hung up on this question?"
Could it be that he was resentful that Duan Mu had taken such an important script?
“You don’t need to know why,” Yu Wen said. “I just need to know where this person is.”
"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you," Duan Mu politely declined. "The reason why no such person exists is because he doesn't want to have too much contact with strangers, so he has always kept a low profile. I will not tell you where he is until I can assure you, Mr. Yuwen, that you will not harm him."
Yu Wen clenched his fist. "I only wanted to ask him one thing."
Duan Mu held Feng Guang's hand without saying a word.
Yu Wen gritted his teeth and finally revealed his purpose: "I want to ask him why the victims in his story died in the same way as my parents?"
His words surprised both Feng Guang and Duan Mu.
Feng Guang frowned and said, "I remember my dad telling me that your parents died of illness..."
“Death from illness is just an excuse. My parents… were murdered, just like in ‘The Third Dead,’ where the protagonist’s parents died…” Thinking of that painful memory again, panic appeared in Yu Wen’s eyes. He could never calmly talk about it. Every time he did, he felt as if he would return to that year and feel that terrifying fear again.
This emotion has tormented him for many years.
The deaths of Yu Wen's parents were completely unexpected by Feng Guang. Ever since she first witnessed the murder case, she knew that the plot had gone off track. Now that she knew that Yu Wen's parents had been murdered, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. At this moment, she only felt a strange sense of unease.
She couldn't help but look up at Duan Mu. To be honest, she was also wondering if what Yu Wen said was true. Could it really be that Duan Gao just happened to write about such a cruel method of murder?
Duan Mu patted her head, looked at Yu Wen, and sighed, "I understand. I will take you to see him, but he cannot possibly be involved in the murder of your parents, so I hope you can remain calm at that time."
"I just want to find out why he wrote about the same modus operandi. I'm not here to cause trouble." Yu Wen forced himself to calm down. He had been investigating for so many years, and now he finally had some clues. Of course, he was impatient. However, he also knew that if he couldn't put Duan Mu at ease, he would never be able to meet the author.
Duan Mu, who had just dropped Feng Guang off, had to drive Yu Wen to his father's place. Feng Guang didn't go home but got in the car with him. Her reason was simple: "If Yu Wen gets excited and hits someone, I can call someone to control the situation."
Yes, with just one phone call from her, a group of bodyguards in black would rush out.
Yu Wen retorted angrily, "I am not a barbarian who only knows how to fight."
