In the underground garage of the apartment building, Yu Bai parked the car steadily in the reserved parking space.
After getting out of the car, she immediately saw the young man wearing the rental company uniform leaning against a brand new white van.
He seemed to wait for a moment, looking down at his phone.
Hearing the sound of the engine shutting down, the young man looked up with a professional smile on his face: "Miss Yu, right? The car is ready for you."
"Um."
Yu Bai nodded without any unnecessary greetings.
Time was running out and she just wanted to finish the procedures quickly.
The young man was obviously very capable and quickly took out the lease agreement and car keys that he had prepared long ago.
"Ms. Yu, please take a look at the contract and sign it here if you have no problem."
"Here are the copies of the vehicle registration and insurance policy, and two keys. Keep them safe."
Yu Bai took the document, quickly scanned the key terms and vehicle information, and after confirming that they were correct, he picked up the pen and signed his name in a few strokes.
Taking the keys, she briefly inspected the van: the tires, the lights, the interior...
"Trouble."
Finally, Yu Bai nodded to the young man as a thank you.
"Of course, Miss Yu. I wish you a pleasant ride! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions."
The young man put away the contract and responded politely.
Yu Bai didn't stop, turned around and walked quickly towards the elevator.
The cold metal door reflected her hurried figure.
"bite--"
The elevator arrived and the doors slid open slowly.
After walking out of the elevator and arriving at the apartment door, Yu Bai habitually reached into his pocket for the key, but found nothing.
Only then did she suddenly remember that she had left in a hurry and forgot to bring her keys.
Helpless, I could only raise my hand and knock on the door.
“Dongdongdong——”
A few seconds later, with a "click", the door lock turned and the door was pulled open from the inside.
However, the person who appeared behind the door was not her expected elder brother in a wheelchair.
Instead, he was a tall and straight young man wearing a neat dark green military uniform.
His skin was the kind of dark tan that only comes from years of training under the scorching sun. He had strong facial features, a distinct jawline, and a pair of dark, bright, and sharp eyes.
It’s fourth brother, Yu Cheng!
Yu Bai's eyes suddenly widened.
The memories of the past life came flooding back like a cold tide.
She remembered clearly that at this time in her previous life, her fourth brother was still in the army.
Because of his special status, he was the only one among his brothers who was not directly targeted by Zhou Anan in the early stages.
Until... until his mother Zhou Fengxia made that desperate phone call and told him everything that happened at home!
The fourth brother is the most upright and the most military among the brothers.
He attended military school and is a technical talent trained by the state with great potential.
But when he learned about his eldest brother's death, his second brother's injustice, his third brother's car accident, his youngest brother's madness...all the blame was directed at the Zhou family, he did not choose to remain silent.
He tried to use his connections and channels to investigate, but found that all clues were erased by an invisible force, and the chain of evidence always broke at critical moments.
There always seemed to be someone above him, quietly obstructing him.
The fourth brother understood that the Zhou family had a powerful umbrella of protection behind it, which was not something that an ordinary officer like him could shake.
But the justice in his heart and the love for his family would not allow him to give up.
The real turning point was the news that the mother was forced to commit suicide by drinking pesticide!
At that moment, the faith that belonged to a soldier and a national scientific researcher in the fourth brother's heart collapsed!
He no longer believes in so-called procedural justice and no longer hopes for the illusory fairness.
He resolutely, even impulsively, left the army and gave up the career and future he had fought for for many years.
He used his professional knowledge to secretly manufacture firearms and went alone to seek revenge on the Zhou family!
However, fate plays tricks on us.
In that hasty and decisive assassination, the bullet did not target the culprits Zhou Anan and Zhao Jia.
As luck would have it, the person who died under his gun was the driver who drove Zhou's mother out, and...the equally vicious Zhou's mother!
The funny thing is that the fourth brother didn’t know the truth at that time.
He thought he had successfully killed his enemy and avenged his family.
After completing his "revenge", he calmly chose to surrender himself and bear the consequences he believed he should bear.
What should have been waiting for him was the judgment of the law.
But how could the Zhou family let him go?
In the cold prison, the fourth brother didn't even live to see the day of trial.
On a seemingly ordinary night, when everyone was fast asleep.
He was brutally stabbed in the throat with a sharpened toothbrush handle by a cellmate who had been bribed by the death row inmate.
Die with eyes open.
"Fourth Brother..."
These two words seemed to have exhausted all of Yu Bai's strength, with a heavy nasal tone and uncontrollable trembling.
The next second, she pounced on him, wrapped her arms tightly around Yu Cheng's neck, and wrapped her legs around his strong waist.
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!"
She buried her face deeply in Yu Cheng's strong shoulder with a unique military aura, and held him tightly.
She refused to let go, and she couldn't.
