Ice Peak Demon Love [Complete] - 17

Chapter 52 New Life

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun shone brightly.

Shi Binglan sat on the sofa in her living room, looking around at the furniture and decorations, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

The house was still the familiar house, but it felt strangely unfamiliar.

After all, she hadn't been home for over three months, and then her husband fell into the hands of a lecherous man, leaving the house empty for ten whole days. The moment she pushed open the door, she was greeted by dust everywhere, filled with a decaying and desolate smell, completely different from the clean, tidy, and warm home she once knew.

What pained and angered her even more was that many beautiful and complete symbols of her family had vanished—everything related to her, including photos, clothes, and decorations, had been completely looted, as if she had never existed in this family.

These things had been taken to the lecherous man's lair, and all had been destroyed in the fire, leaving Shi Binglan with immense regret.

After all, material possessions are ultimately external things. What she now regrets and worries about more is her relationship with her husband and their future life, wondering if things can ever return to what they were before.

Although her body had been wantonly violated and humiliated by a sex fiend, Shi Binglan was a modern woman with a basic education and felt no shame. However, she also knew very well that any normal man with self-respect would be indifferent to such a thing. Perhaps this had become a thorn in her husband's side, causing irreparable damage to their relationship.

Her husband's demeanor this morning seemed to confirm that this thought was not unfounded—after obtaining the confession of the female singer Chu Qian overnight, Su Zhongping's innocence was indirectly proven, and he was allowed to go home an hour ago. However, from the moment the couple reunited until they went home together, Su Zhongping remained silent and taciturn, his ashen face intimidating.

Along the way, Shi Binglan tried several times to talk to him, to ask him what had happened, and to explain the situation. But each time she opened her mouth, Su Zhongping would dismiss her with the excuse, "I don't want to say too much right now, let me have some peace and quiet." Just now, when they were almost at their doorstep, he didn't even want to go in with Shi Binglan, claiming he needed to buy some daily necessities nearby, and then he left his wife behind in a hurry.

Shi Binglan had no choice but to return home alone. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, she was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, and her eyes involuntarily blurred with tears.

After a long, dazed look, the door opened, and Su Zhongping walked in carrying large and small bags.

Shi Binglan got up to greet him, silently taking the things from her husband's hands. Besides the daily necessities, there were also her usual breakfast snacks, such as soy milk, fried dough sticks, and shumai, filling the table.

"What are you standing there for? Sit down and eat!" Su Zhongping invited her. "These are all fresh out of the oven, they won't taste good if they get cold!"

His tone was calm and kind, a stark contrast to his earlier frightening expression; he seemed completely at ease, as if he had returned to his former self.

Shi Binglan was taken aback, wondering what her husband was up to. She casually said, "You bought so much food, how can the two of us possibly finish it all? Besides, I'm not hungry at all..." "

Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat. We need to be well-fed before we embark on our journey!"

"A journey? Where to?"

"Anywhere is fine, as long as we leave this city!" Su Zhongping took a sip of soy milk and said in a deep voice, "I've already checked our accounts, we still have enough savings to settle down temporarily in another city, and then find work to make a living..."

Shi Binglan was increasingly shocked as she listened, exclaiming, "You're not joking, are you? Why would we go to another city for no reason?"

"Because this city has already brought us too much pain and humiliation!"

As he spoke, Su Zhongping pulled several stacks of newspapers out of a paper bag and tossed them onto the dining table.

Shi Binglan glanced at it and saw the shocking headlines covering the pages, such as "Perverted Sex Freak," "Beautiful Policewoman," and "One Hundred Days of Humiliation in a Demon's Den." Even without reading it closely, it was obvious how obscene the content was.

She didn't look a second time, her face pale, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "You're running away! I..."

"Don't say anymore!" Su Zhongping interrupted her roughly. "I just want to ask you one question: are you coming with me?"

Shi Binglan answered without hesitation, "Unless I can personally apprehend the sex freak, I'm not going anywhere else in my life!"

Su Zhongping glared at her, saying each word clearly, "Have you thought it through? You really don't want to go?"

"Yes!"

The couple stared at each other without blinking, their eyes filled with complex expressions, a mixture of pain and determination.

After a long while, Su Zhongping's tense face slowly relaxed, he nodded, and handed her another paper bag.

"Okay, I respect your decision... This is a gift I prepared for you, for you!"

Judging from his tone, could this be a farewell gift between husband and wife before their separation?

Shi Binglan felt a pang of sadness. Mechanically, she reached out and took the paper bag. Opening it, she suddenly froze.

Inside was a complete set of clean police uniforms!

She looked up, bewildered, and said, "This... this is?"

"This was secretly made for you the morning we escaped from that den of iniquity!" Su Zhongping said slowly. "Your original uniforms were all taken by the pervert. This set was made to your size. I hope you like it!"

A warm feeling welled up in her heart. Shi Binglan looked at her husband with emotion, suddenly realizing that his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if he were a completely different person from before.

She suddenly realized, and exclaimed joyfully, "So you were just testing me! You didn't actually plan to leave, did you?"

Su Zhongping snorted coldly, "Of course. Even if I were to leave, it would only be after the pervert has been brought to justice! If I leave now, I'd be a cowardly runaway, and I'd never be able to hold my head up again!"

Shi Binglan burst into tears of joy, and couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, "That's wonderful, Zhongping... It's so good that you think this way..."

Su Zhongping's eyes also reddened, and he reached out to tightly embrace his wife's delicate body. This was the first time he could remember his wife showing such a vulnerable side, like a normal woman longing for her husband's support, throwing herself into his arms.

"Don't cry, Binglan, don't cry... We must repay the pervert tenfold, a hundredfold, for the humiliation we suffered... As long as we, husband and wife, work together, we can definitely do it..."

Hearing her husband's firm voice and feeling his warm embrace, Shi Binglan's tears flowed even more, but a feeling of happiness welled up in her heart. She suddenly realized how dependent she was on her husband, especially when her best subordinates had abandoned her, and when all she saw were doubtful and mocking glances. In this difficult and helpless moment, her husband's emotional support was like a powerful stimulant.

After the couple embraced for a while, Su Zhongping smiled and patted his wife's shoulder: "Alright, go try on the uniform and see if it fits as well as the old one!"

Shi Binglan hummed in agreement, wiped away her tears, took the uniform back to the bedroom, took off her outer clothes, and first put on the dark green top in front of the mirror. She

tucked her arms into the sleeves, and one by one, the brass buttons were fastened… In an instant, this incredibly sexy yet ravaged mature body was enveloped in the long-lost police uniform, a symbol of authority and justice!

Shi Binglan was so excited that her breath almost stopped. In fact, during her more than three months of imprisonment, she had no shortage of opportunities to wear a police uniform. However, by then, the police uniform had completely lost its original meaning and had tragically become a "prop" to satisfy the perverted desires of the sex fiend. Even when she wore it properly, she only felt humiliation. If she had a choice, she would rather be completely naked than wear a police uniform to undergo all kinds of training.

Wearing the police uniform now, free and filled with pride and reverence, was a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time. This was why Shi Binglan was so excited, as if she were reliving the novelty, joy, and excitement of her first day in the police force, the first time she wore the uniform…

But just then, her hand, which was buttoning the uniform, suddenly stopped—not voluntarily, but because she suddenly realized that the button seemed to be under a spell; her fingertips had tried many times, but she still couldn't button it up!

Shi Binglan was stunned for a moment, then understood, and her pretty face flushed red.

It turned out that this was the last button on the uniform, and because her two incredibly full breasts stretched the front of the uniform too much, the curve was exaggerated to the extreme, and this last button simply wouldn't go into the buttonhole! No matter how hard she pulled, the button and the buttonhole stubbornly remained in a "can't close" state.

Her joy was quickly dampened. Shi Binglan realized that it wasn't a mistake in the production of the uniform; in fact, the new police uniform was made strictly according to the old one, but now it felt "tight" on her. She sadly discovered that this was entirely because her figure was fuller than before, especially her already astonishingly large breasts, which were now even more erect and unbelievably full, stretching the front of the uniform so wide that the buttons couldn't be fastened!

This was so embarrassing! Shi Binglan was at a loss. In fact, she had already noticed before that during her time in the den of iniquity, her breasts had probably become even larger due to increased estrogen from pregnancy, or perhaps because of the constant abuse by the perverts, at least an increase of one cup size.

However, because she was forbidden from wearing bras in the hellish place, she couldn't verify it. But after being discharged from the hospital yesterday, she went to a lingerie store to buy a new bra. When she tried them on, she discovered that her usual F-cup was completely unwearable, and even the G-cup couldn't fully support her breasts, only barely holding a portion of her large mounds. And since she always used a size slightly smaller than her actual measurement, it meant her real bust size was now approaching the second letter of the alphabet!

A deep sense of guilt washed over her. Shi Binglan stood there blankly for a moment, then shook her head helplessly, giving up on her clumsy attempt to fasten the last button. She bent down, picked up her police skirt, and slipped it on over her legs.

Luckily, although her buttocks felt a little "tight," she managed to put the skirt on smoothly.

And so, a neatly dressed policewoman appeared before the dressing mirror!

Looking at herself in the mirror, Shi Binglan saw flushed cheeks, her police uniform bulging with a button undone, revealing a glimpse of cleavage if she stood on tiptoe; her knee-length skirt encased rounded, full buttocks, exuding a mature woman's sensuality.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain and an inexplicable nausea.

How could this be the dashing policewoman she once was? Her former self had a strong and athletic figure; even with the curves of her large breasts and slender waist adding a touch of sexiness, no one could deny that her body was at least dynamic and powerful, the physique of an athlete.

But after more than three months of imprisonment, perhaps due to excessive "nourishment," her original slenderness and strength had almost vanished, replaced by a plumpness and roundness like a ripe peach.

The more Shi Binglan looked, the more disgusted she became. She suddenly recalled the Japanese uniform-themed pornographic films the pervert had forced her to watch in that den of iniquity. She felt like she was no different from those porn stars in police uniforms, her body exuding an allure that came from being thoroughly played with, developed, and trained…

What was the point of wearing a police uniform like this? It was an insult to the uniform!

Shi Binglan suddenly reached out, defiantly trying to take off the uniform, but a sudden pang of sadness struck her, her hand trembling as it stopped in front of her chest, conflicted and motionless for a long time…

The air in the room seemed to freeze.

“Ring ring!!”

The landline phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

Shi Binglan still stood there blankly, seemingly in a daze, vaguely hearing her husband outside pick up the extension, exchange a few words, and then suddenly let out a low gasp, seemingly filled with shock, his voice suddenly rising.

She immediately snapped out of it, composed herself, and wondered if something had happened. So, disregarding whether the uniform fit or not, she quickly walked out of the bedroom, looking at her husband with questioning eyes.

"Outrageous! What's the use of saying all this now... Nonsense! Of course we're coming... You wait, we'll be there right away!"

Su Zhongping slammed down the phone, angrily saying, "It's Jiuxianshan Cemetery calling! They said your parents' tombstones have been vandalized..."

Shi Binglan was thunderstruck, her voice trembling, "What did you say?"

Su Zhongping repeated himself, bitterly saying, "These bastards are so irresponsible! They don't even know when they were vandalized, it's infuriating! Let's go check it out right away, the tombstone is a minor matter, I hope your parents' ashes inside aren't damaged..." Before

he could finish speaking, Shi Binglan quickened her pace, barely even changing her shoes, and rushed out of the house in a frantic rush.

Su Zhongping quickly grabbed his car keys and followed closely behind his wife.

※ ※ ※ ※

At nine o'clock in the morning, Meng Xuan yawned and shakily sat up in bed.

She rubbed her eyes, glanced at the alarm clock, stuck out her tongue, and jumped out of bed.

"Oh no, oh no, I overslept!"

Meng Xuan yelled as she hastily threw on some clothes and ran barefoot to the kitchen.

Today was her day off, no work. But ever since Wang Yu, whose mental capacity had severely declined, moved in, she had acted like a dutiful little mother, getting up early every day to prepare breakfast for him. Today she had overslept by almost two hours; it would be a problem if the "little one" got hungry.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, Meng Xuan froze, surprised to find that all the doors to the rooms were wide open, and it was eerily quiet, as if she were the only person left in the house!

"Yu! Where are you...Yu!"

Meng Xuan called out anxiously, running in and out, searching every room, even the bathroom, but to no avail. Not only Wang Yu, but Awei and Shi Xianglan had also vanished without a trace!

Then she noticed that a large suitcase that had been in the living room was also gone, and that suitcase was just big enough to fit a whole person.

—Could it be…

A thought popped into her head, and Meng Xuan's face turned pale. She frantically grabbed the phone and dialed Awei's latest mobile number.

The phone was off.

Meng Xuan jumped up and down in a panic, running around like a headless fly for a while before returning to the bedroom. She noticed a letter on the bedside table.

She quickly pulled it out and read that it was filled with crooked handwriting.

(Xiaoxuan: I'm so sorry, I deliberately got you drunk last night and left without saying goodbye before you woke up. I also took your Ayu with me. Don't blame me, I had to do it. It's too dangerous for the three of us to stay in your tomb for so long! If any of us were caught, we'd all be doomed. Especially Wang Yu, he absolutely has to leave you. Because right now, you should be someone who can't find your sweetheart and is incredibly worried and anxious, but you're not good at pretending. No matter how you try to hide it, your expression is calm and content, not at all like someone who's anxiously missing their lover! Such an obvious flaw will definitely be noticed by Bishi Da Nai soon. So after thinking it over, I decided to make it real and force Wang Yu to leave you for a while.

During this time, I won't tell you where I took Wang Yu, I won't let you see him, and I won't contact you. I want you to be anxious and desperate, hehe! That way your usual behavior will be natural and real.) It won't arouse suspicion from your colleagues.

Of course, you can rest assured, this period won't last long. Once all my plans are completed, once Shi Danai is back in my grasp, and once the "sexual predator" case is finally closed, you and Wang Yu can be reunited! All you need to do now is wait. When the time is right, I will tell you how to act. Whether you can cooperate with me smoothly at that time will be the key to whether our expectations can be realized.

I can't say exactly which day it will be. However, I can be sure that Shi Danai will be more anxious than the two of us! She must seize the time to solve the case as soon as possible so that she can have an abortion, otherwise she will lose the right to have an abortion once the fetus is formed! As the days drag on, her fear will only grow bigger and bigger along with her belly... So, time is on our side. Now it depends on who can hold their breath longer. I hope you won't disappoint me!

Meng Xuan's eyes widened. After reading the whole text, her breathing suddenly became rapid, her apple-shaped face turned red, and she looked shocked and angry.

Suddenly, she screamed and leaped up like a raging little leopard, her clenched fists raining down on the hard wall…

until her palms were red and swollen, she collapsed weakly, clutching her pillow and sobbing.

※ ※ ※ ※

At that very moment, in the Jiuxianshan Cemetery, Shi Binglan knelt before her parents' graves, tears streaming down her face, speechless for a long time.

The once perfectly erected tombstones had been cut off at the base, and the urn buried beneath them was gone, leaving only scattered dirt and debris.

"Dad, Stepmother… I'm so unfilial… I've brought shame upon your spirits in heaven…"

Tears welled up, but after only a few seconds, Shi Binglan silently wiped them away, stood up, and a resolute, calm expression returned to her pretty face. Her bright eyes were filled with a sharp, needle-like light and a fierce anger that made it impossible to look directly at her.

Standing beside him, Su Zhongping's eyes were also red, and he said through gritted teeth, "This must have been done by that pervert! That son of a bitch must be furious that his plot failed and that I set fire to his lair. In a fit of rage, he used this crazy method to take revenge on us..."

"No, he didn't do this to take revenge on us!" Shi Binglan said slowly and calmly, "He didn't do it after you set the fire, but at least before the New Year. He had already destroyed this place!"

Su Zhongping asked in astonishment, "Before the New Year? How do you know?"

"Just half an hour before you set the fire, right when the New Year's bells rang, that pervert proudly showed me a large basin of ashes... I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, those were definitely Dad and Stepmother's ashes..."

As Shi Binglan spoke, the scene seemed to reappear before her eyes. She clearly remembered the pervert bringing over a washbasin half-filled with ashes and ordering her and her sister to squat on it and urinate! At the time, she thought it was just the pervert's twisted hobby, but now she suddenly realized that it contained the pervert's ulterior motives and malicious intent!

—Oh God, I actually urinated on my parents' ashes… the ashes of my father and stepmother who gave me life and raised me, desecrated by my sister and me… Although it was unintentional, my sister and I will surely suffer retribution…

Shi Binglan's expression was ashen, her throat felt sweet, and she almost vomited a mouthful of blood. She quickly swallowed it back, but her body was already swaying precariously.

Su Zhongping reached out to steady his wife, asking doubtfully, "You mean, the pervert's revenge target is actually your parents?"

Shi Binglan nodded, catching her breath, and said, "Actually, I suspected a long time ago that the pervert was my father's enemy. I even investigated along these lines, and the investigation led to Sun Defu, who was indeed connected to the pervert… But after Sun Defu was killed, that lead went cold. Only the pervert himself knows the truth behind it all!"

Su Zhongping frowned, staring at the dug-up grave for a long time, then shuddered and muttered, "This guy is a madman… a real madman! Logically, when someone dies, the hatred should be wiped away, but he didn't even spare the deceased's ashes and grave… What kind of deep-seated hatred could drive someone to such madness…"

Shi Binglan remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

A moment later, several cemetery staff members approached with mournful faces, apologizing to the couple again. Su Zhongping, unable to contain his anger, demanded to know why they hadn't called to inform him of the incident until today. The staff, feigning grievance, explained that they had discovered the tombstone had been vandalized more than ten days prior and had immediately tried to contact the couple, but the phone was always unreachable.

Su Zhongping was speechless for a moment. Ten days ago, he and Shi Binglan were both trapped in the infamous den of iniquity, so naturally, they couldn't have received a call.

But he quickly changed the subject, blaming the staff for failing to properly guard the cemetery, allowing criminals to sneak in and damage the tombstone. The staff still seemed helpless, saying that people came to sweep the tombs every day, and they couldn't possibly verify everyone's identity. As for how the criminals had completely shaved off the tombstone, the staff were even more clueless, knowing absolutely nothing.

"Don't ask them, I know this!" Shi Binglan suddenly interrupted her husband, saying calmly, "The pervert is skilled with explosives. He must have used small explosives to blast open the tombstone and then dug out the urn inside."

Su Zhongping thought it made sense. People who come to the cemetery to sweep the graves usually set off firecrackers. The pervert must have used the sound of firecrackers to cover up the sound of the explosives, easily destroying the tombstone. Even if there was a lot of smoke, an ordinary person would definitely not be able to tell. In that case, it seemed that the staff couldn't really be blamed for not doing their job properly.

However, he still repeatedly questioned the staff about whether any unusual people had appeared in those days or whether they had noticed anything unusual, but after questioning them for a long time, he still got nothing and finally had to give up in disappointment.

After the staff were dismissed, Su Zhongping spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "It seems we still have to start by investigating your father's enemies. It's a pity he can't come back to life and tell us who the most suspicious enemy is... Sigh!"

Shi Binglan hummed in agreement and calmly said, "It's alright, as long as we use the process of elimination, we'll find clues sooner or later."

"How do we find them? Didn't that fat Li from your police station forbid you from interfering in the pervert's case anymore?"

Su Zhongping looked dejected. It turned out that although Chu Qian's testimony proved his innocence, it didn't significantly improve Shi Binglin's situation. After all, she had indeed personally stabbed Wang Yu, and although she was forced by the pervert, there was still a suspicion of "manslaughter," making it unsuitable to continue investigating the case. Li Tianming's decision was reasonable; even if Director Zhao were still in office, he probably would have done the same.

Shi Binglan smiled slightly: "Who said I wanted to get involved in the pervert's case? What I'm investigating now is the case of my parents' tombstones being vandalized! The two shouldn't be confused!"

Su Zhongping was taken aback at first, then exclaimed happily, "Yes, yes! They investigate their sex offender, we investigate our vandal! It's perfectly legitimate, and no one has the right to stop us from taking this action!"

After saying this, the couple smiled knowingly, feeling a deeper sense of understanding between them.

They bowed again to the dilapidated cemetery, vowing in their hearts to capture the sex offender to comfort the spirits of their loved ones in heaven. Then, hand in hand, they strode out of the Jiuxianshan Cemetery, their car speeding directly towards the Criminal Investigation Department.

※ ※ ※ ※

As expected, Li Tianming readily agreed to Shi Binglan's request, allowing her to fully investigate the "destroyed tombstone" case, even letting her choose the officers to assist her.

He knew perfectly well that this was just an excuse from the busty policewoman; her true intention was still to target the sex offender case. But he was also well aware that even if he didn't let Shi Binglan investigate, she would secretly launch her own operation. It was better to do her a favor and let her do as she pleased. That way, if she couldn't find anything, she wouldn't have anyone to blame.

And if she did find any clues, the task force could use official business to legitimately "intercept" them halfway through, and then follow the trail to make further progress. So, the final credit wouldn't belong to her!

This was a win-win situation, so Li Tianming was happy to play the good guy and readily agreed.

"I don't need any subordinates' assistance. This case is only related to my personal life; let me handle it alone!"

Shi Binglan coldly rejected Li Tianming's "kindness." She knew that he just wanted to plant someone around her to keep track of her investigation progress. She certainly didn't want to be monitored like this, especially since the mole in the police station hadn't been exposed yet. If the subordinate assisting her happened to be the mole, everything would be over.

After leaving the chief's office, Shi Binglan took a deep breath, feeling an unprecedented loneliness. From now on, she would have to deal with the lecherous man lurking in the shadows, ready to seek revenge, all by herself!

—No, perhaps not alone. I still have a husband I can trust…

Thinking of Su Zhongping, Shi Binglan's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt much more fulfilled, the brief loneliness vanishing.

In the past ten days, she seemed to have rediscovered her husband, pleasantly surprised to find so many good qualities in him that she hadn't noticed before. In particular, her husband's three-month-long search for her, his dangerous attempts to gather information from the brothel's clientele, all made her look at this man she had loved for so long with new respect and genuine admiration.

On the way to the police station, Su Zhongping had already expressed his full support and assistance in her pursuit of the lecherous man. She had initially hesitated, after all, her husband wasn't a professional police officer, and involving him in the criminal investigation would cause many inconveniences and expose him to greater danger.

But at this moment, she suddenly made up her mind to accept her husband's proposal. She suddenly realized that her husband's mindset was the same as hers, and he was just as stubborn. If she disagreed, he would definitely take action on his own in secret. In this difficult time, if the couple couldn't truly work together as one, they would almost certainly be defeated one by one by the lecherous man, and a crushing defeat awaited them. With

the plan settled, Shi Binglan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart. Her spirits lifted, and she walked out of the police station with a long-lost light step.

Su Zhongping was waiting for her in the car.

After getting in, the couple smiled at each other; they didn't need to say anything more, they already understood each other's feelings, everything was understood without words.

On the way home, Shi Binglan mustered her courage and confessed the tragedy of her pregnancy to her husband.

Although Su Zhongping had a premonition, he was still quite shocked. His face turned ashen, and his eyes were filled with shame and pain.

Although he quickly regained his composure and reassured his wife that it wasn't her fault and she shouldn't worry, the sensitive Shi Binglan still felt a renewed sense of unease. Their once intimate relationship seemed to be shrouded in shadow again.

She had initially decided to tell the whole truth without reservation, but now she hesitated, worried that revealing the truth would be too cruel for her husband, that he might not be able to bear it, or understand her painstaking efforts to endure the humiliation.

So, Shi Binglan stammered a lie, saying that because she had a congenital retroverted cervix, her obstetrician believed that an abortion now would be dangerous, easily leading to incomplete removal of the fetus, and therefore she should wait two more months until the fetus reached the middle of the uterus before having an induced labor.

"...Actually, it's not that we absolutely have to wait, it's just that I can't make up my mind!" She sighed sadly, looking at her husband and whispering, "If you think it's better to have the surgery as soon as possible, I'll listen to you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, we'll listen to the doctor!" Su Zhongping interrupted her decisively, "I don't want you to take any unnecessary risks, not even the slightest one!"

Shi Binglan lowered her head, not daring to meet her husband's gaze. For the first time in her life, she felt extremely uneasy, experiencing the guilt and remorse that a criminal feels when facing the police.

But despite her guilt, after much hesitation, she swallowed the truth and didn't reveal the facts to her husband...

In the following days, the couple began their arduous investigation.

For the past three months, Su Zhongping had hardly gone to work, and now he had even taken unpaid leave, throwing himself wholeheartedly into his new "job."

As for their method of investigation, they continued along the trail that Shi Binglan hadn't been able to complete, listing her father's enemies one by one, hoping to find some clues.

However, the more they investigated, the heavier the couple's hearts became. They were shocked to discover that their deceased father had so many enemies, and he didn't seem entirely "innocent." During his business dealings and holding important government positions, he had been intricately linked to several major economic and corruption cases.

This was completely different from the "kind father" Shi Binglan had known since childhood, which greatly shocked her. She felt a pain, shame, and confusion from being deceived. Fortunately, Su Zhongping kept encouraging her, telling her to "bravely face the truth," which allowed her to persevere with the unique mental fortitude of a female detective...

However, the couple's efforts and dedication didn't seem to yield any valuable results. Coupled with problems such as insufficient manpower and an excessive workload, their progress was extremely slow. Two whole weeks had passed, and they had only eliminated three people from their list of suspects.

Shi Binglan was secretly worried. If the investigation continued at this pace, she feared she wouldn't be able to catch the pervert before her due date approached...

That noon, her husband went out on business, and Shi Binglan, due to severe pregnancy reactions, vomited several times, leaving her weak. Pale-faced, she leaned against the bed, intending to take a nap to regain her strength before getting up to work and carefully organize the materials she had collected.

But then the phone rang; it was an employee from Jiuxianshan Cemetery. The person on the other end sincerely apologized again, saying they had funded the reconstruction of the tombstone, guaranteeing it was exactly the same as the original, and invited her to come and see it for herself.

"No need to see it. We'll talk about it later!"

Shi Binglan replied dismissively, a bitter smile creeping onto her face. Her parents' ashes were gone, never to be found again; what use was simply repairing a tombstone?

But the cemetery staff member, oblivious to her tact, kept incessantly flattering Shi Binglan, saying that if she didn't have time to visit in person, the cemetery could take a digital photo and send it to her. Shi Binglan, impatient with his nagging, agreed and asked him to send the photo to her email address.

After hanging up, she turned on her computer and, sure enough, received the digital photo a few minutes later.

Shi Binglan glanced at the photo; it was very clear, a close-up of her parents' graves. The rubble that had littered the ground had been completely cleared away, and the destroyed tombstones had been re-erected, identical in size, scale, and materials to the originals. Even the marble portraits and inscriptions on the tombstones were perfectly replicated.

She sighed, thinking that these people had put in a lot of effort, especially since the pervert had deliberately tried to destroy the graves; she couldn't entirely blame the staff for their negligence.

After casually replying to a thank-you email, Shi Binglan shut down her computer, lay back in bed, and closed her eyes to sleep.

But after a while, she still couldn't fall asleep, a strange unease stirring within her subconscious!

She couldn't pinpoint what was causing this unease. This caused her to toss and turn in bed, unable to find peace for even a moment, until a full hour later she gradually calmed down and slowly drifted off to sleep…

Suddenly, Shi Binglan abruptly sat up, as if realizing something, jumped out of bed, rushed to her desk, reopened her computer, and pulled up the photo she had just received.

Her eyes shone brightly, her gaze fixed on the words engraved on the tombstone.

It was the most ordinary text imaginable, the kind you could see on any tombstone: her parents' names, place of origin, ages at death, and dates of birth and death, signed by her and her sister.

Anyone seeing these words would find nothing unusual, yet Shi Binglan was utterly shocked, her eyes fixed on one line of numbers.

"...Born on December 24, 1953, died on..."

December 24, 1953!

This was her stepmother's birth date!

A strange sense of familiarity surged into her heart. So that's where that strange unease came from! It was right there in these numbers indicating her birth date!

I must have seen these numbers somewhere recently... Yes, I must have seen them somewhere...

Shi Binglan pondered deeply, then suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" as her mind flashed back to her.

—This...this is clearly the password to open the Demon's Lair!

The scene from over two months ago reappeared before her eyes. That night, the lecherous man ordered her to dress properly and took her to the police station to carry out his plot. Before leaving, Shi Binglan managed to loosen the blindfold covering her head and peeked at the lecherous man pressing the six numbers "241253" into the keypad when he opened the Demon's Lair.

She had memorized the numbers perfectly. Later, when the pervert was out, she used the correct code to open the door and escape with her sister, but unfortunately, they ultimately failed. However, the numbers had quietly taken root in her mind, which was why they had suddenly reminded her of the whole thing.

—Why? Why did the pervert's code happen to be "Stepmother's" birthday? Was it just a coincidence?

No, Shi Binglan refused to believe that such a coincidence could exist. Her breathing suddenly quickened, and all sorts of thoughts flooded her mind.

—It seems the pervert is not only her father's enemy, but also knows Stepmother… But what is his relationship with Stepmother? Why is he so obsessed with her birthday?

The answer was obvious!

A feeling of shock and excitement filled her body in an instant. Shi Binglan could hear her heart pounding, her full chest heaving violently, and then she suddenly remembered something else.

Shortly after the New Year's bells rang, the first thing the lecher did was take out an antique-looking box, kneel down, and kowtow respectfully before it.

"Inside are my mother's ashes… I want to thank her for giving me life and raising me!"

Those two sentences echoed clearly in her ears.

Shi Binglan's breathing quickened, and her breasts heaved more violently. She suddenly stood up, rushed out of the house, and burst into the nearest grocery store downstairs.

She picked out a washbasin and two large boxes of biscuits, paid, and ran back home. She emptied all the biscuits, then carried the two empty boxes to the kitchen.

These two empty boxes were about the same size as the urns that held her parents' ashes. She remembered that after her father and stepmother's cremations, she had personally chosen two high-quality urns to hold their ashes. She even clearly remembered that her father's ashes filled more, about three-quarters of the container, while her stepmother's filled less, only two-thirds.

Shi Binglan rummaged through the kitchen and quickly found half a bag of flour. She poured the flour into the two empty containers until the amount matched her memory.

Next, she poured the larger bag of flour into a newly bought basin—the same size as the one used by the lecherous demon in the den of iniquity—and the expected result was exactly as predicted: the flour filled the basin halfway, just like when the lecherous demon had brought it! Shi Binglan closed her

eyes in anguish, letting out a mournful cry from the depths of her heart.

All her suspicions were confirmed… the basin the lecherous demon had brought contained only her father's ashes, not her stepmother's! If it were both sets of ashes, the basin should have been full, not just half-full! Two sets of ashes

were stolen by the grave robbers. But only one set of ashes was cruelly violated in the den of iniquity. What about the other set? Of course, it could only be the ashes that the pervert worshipped!

The ashes of his biological mother, whom the pervert himself admitted to!

—So, the pervert was his stepmother's biological son… He was actually his stepmother's son!

A surge of heat rushed to her head, and Shi Binglan trembled with excitement, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her.

This conclusion was simply unbelievable! Stepmother… Although she had once been hostile towards her stepmother, they had eventually reconciled. And to be fair, her stepmother had been very loving towards her sisters, fulfilling her basic responsibilities as a stepmother. Therefore, after growing up and understanding things, she was still grateful to her stepmother and considered her family.

No, impossible… How could such a timid, gentle, and kind stepmother have given birth to such a cold, cruel, and perverted son as the pervert? There must be some mistake... My stepmother and the pervert have absolutely nothing in common! They're completely opposite...

Although a voice inside her was screaming this, reason told Shi Binglan that this truth, though cruel, was absolutely true and could not possibly be wrong. Tears

welled in her eyes as she slumped into a chair, taking a long time to gather her jumbled thoughts before beginning to think further.

Before remarrying, her stepmother had a biological son, something she seemed to have heard her sister mention before... Yes, that's right! She remembered her sister revealing that her stepmother's son had been imprisoned for a crime long ago, cruelly severing his mother-son relationship. After his release, he completely disappeared without a trace; no one knew if he was alive or dead. This devastated her stepmother for many years before she finally gave up the idea of finding him in despair...

Shi Binglan's eyes lit up, and she abruptly stood up.

Anyone who has ever committed a crime and served time in prison will have a detailed file in the police station! Although by now, the sex offender must have changed his name and taken on a new identity, and the information from years ago is no longer relevant, it is still an unprecedented and significant discovery. At least it provides a basic understanding of the sex offender's true situation, preventing us from being completely ignorant as we are now.

She couldn't help but feel invigorated; her previously weak body seemed to be infused with a powerful force, supporting her as she hurriedly left home and rushed to the police station's archives...

Chapter Fifty-Three: The Nightmare Returns

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

One weekend evening, seven o'clock, West Lake Hotel, F City.

Inside the VIP lounge, four tables were laden with sumptuous food and drink, and over fifty guests were drinking and chatting in a lively atmosphere.

They were all prominent figures in the city's medical and pharmaceutical circles—renowned surgical experts, department heads at major hospitals, or large pharmaceutical company owners—in short, influential figures in their respective fields.

Normally, these people were very busy, and rarely would they all attend a gathering so collectively, regardless of who was hosting. However, today they were not only all gathered at this hotel, but they also eagerly raised their glasses, repeatedly thanking the hostess and offering blatant or subtle flattery in their own ways.

The hostess, meanwhile, sat quietly at the center of the main table, responding casually with a smile, her speech shrewd and sophisticated, displaying the composure of a professional politician.

Any citizen who saw her would feel a long-lost sense of familiarity—she was none other than Lin Suzhen, the wife of the late deputy mayor!

Of course, she was no longer the deputy mayor's wife, nor was she the People's Representative who used to appear in the media every day. Instead, she had transformed into the First Deputy Director of the F City Health Bureau, wielding a moderate amount of power, just enough to oversee the city's medical industry.

So, when she extended an invitation to the city's medical representatives for a "working dinner" during her first weekend in office, not a single one dared to refuse, and they all arrived on time.

After a few rounds of drinks, Lin Suzhen stood up, holding her glass, and toasted everyone again.

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend today. From now on, the city's work in the medical and health fields will depend on your continued support! Cheers!"

With that, she downed her bottle of liquor in one gulp, and everyone hurriedly exchanged pleasantries while also drinking their own beverages.

Some of these people were already acquainted with Lin Suzhen. Seeing that she seemed to have completely recovered from the devastating blow of losing her husband and being humiliated months ago, regaining her former shrewd, capable, and elegant demeanor, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice for her.

Under the lamplight, it was clear that the former deputy mayor's wife showed no signs of haggardness, and there was no indication that she had suffered inhuman torture at the hands of a lecherous man not long ago. Her still-charming face was as fair and tender as ever, her well-maintained skin was as smooth as ever, and the high-end gold-rimmed glasses still perched on her nose exuded a reserved and elegant air. Although her voluptuous figure was slightly fuller than before, it did not appear cumbersome, especially the heavy, full, rounded curves of her chest, which gave a sensual visual allure.

What a stunningly beautiful middle-aged woman! Just look at those ample breasts of hers, their allure is undeniable! No wonder she was able to pull strings so quickly, using her looks to secure the deputy director position…

Many people secretly grumbled to themselves, outwardly respectful but inwardly despising this former deputy mayor's wife!

Before this, they had already heard various rumors and gossip, all claiming that Lin Suzhen had been kidnapped by a sex offender, suffered amnesia, and then somehow recovered. This power-hungry female politician, even before fully recovering, had already begun lobbying, cultivating relationships, and offering bribes, all with one goal: to return to the municipal government. After months of effort, she actually succeeded, being "promoted" to her current position amidst a chorus of doubt.

Of course, despite their disdain, everyone understood that any shady dealings in officialdom were not surprising. The smartest approach was to feign ignorance to avoid affecting the interests of their own hospital, pharmaceutical company, and private individuals later…

Dishes were served one after another. Just as they were enjoying themselves, Lin Suzhen's phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at the number, her eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, “A distinguished guest who was late has finally arrived! Everyone, don't be shy, everyone should drink a penalty shot!”

As she spoke, she walked to the entrance of the VIP room, assuming a posture of personally welcoming him.

Everyone hurriedly stood up, wondering who this person was who could command such respect from the deputy director. Some sharp-eyed people had already noticed that the seat to Lin Suzhen's right at the head table had been empty, apparently reserved for this distinguished guest. Without a doubt, this person must be a high-ranking official from the province.

Footsteps were heard, and the newcomer had reached the door. After shaking hands with Lin Suzhen with a smile, the two walked in together.

Everyone stared in astonishment, realizing that almost everyone recognized the newcomer. A crowd immediately surrounded him, greeting him excitedly.

"Director Guo, it's you!"

"Long time no see, Lao Guo! How have you been?"

"Guo Yongkun, you're really not being fair! You haven't contacted me in so long, have you forgotten your old friend…?"

The noisy chatter filled the VIP room. Guo Yongkun, however, remained calm, smiling and bowing respectfully. After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, he sat down next to Lin Suzhen as instructed.

The crowd was once again stunned. They never expected that the person receiving such courtesy from Lin Suzhen was not a high-ranking government official, but Guo Yongkun, the city's leading authority in thoracic surgery.

Especially Dean Cao of Xiehe Hospital, who was utterly dumbfounded. In his memory, Guo Yongkun, though a well-known doctor, wasn't particularly outstanding. About six months ago, a drunken brawl ruined his reputation, leading him to voluntarily take unpaid leave and disappear from Peking Union Medical College Hospital. He never expected to meet him again at this event.

Lin Suzhen personally toasted Guo Yongkun, then explained with a smile,

"Director Guo didn't originally want to come today, but I invited him again, and he finally agreed… To be honest, I greatly admire Director Guo. He's not only a highly skilled doctor, but he's also my savior! I almost had heart attacks several times, and he diligently saved me…"

"Not at all, not at all! Sister Suzhen, you're too kind. As a doctor, saving lives is my duty!"

Guo Yongkun replied modestly, his tone understated. However, everyone keenly heard the words "Sister Suzhen," and looking at Lin Suzhen, who smiled faintly and seemed not to mind being addressed that way, many people immediately understood, exchanging knowing glances.

Dean Cao of Peking Union Medical College Hospital was both surprised and worried, thinking that the two's private relationship was not simple. His immediate priority was to bring Guo Yongkun back; having connections in high places would make things easier. But he hadn't contacted Guo Yongkun in a long time, and if he had been poached by another hospital, he would be in serious trouble!

Several other hospital deans at the banquet probably shared the same thought, so they all stood up and went to Guo Yongkun's side, offering toasts for various reasons, trying their best to get close to him. The scene became even more lively, with shouts of "Cheers!" filling the air, and fake smiles plastered on everyone's faces.

Dean Cao was also among them, patting Guo Yongkun's shoulder warmly and showering him with compliments, acting like a very familiar old friend. But Guo Yongkun's reaction was relatively cold; he merely gave casual, neither humble nor arrogant, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Dean Cao was considering how to ask him to return to the hospital when more people gathered around, pushing him aside.

He shook his head helplessly, thinking he could only wait until later. He then turned back, his face beaming as he began to fawn over Lin Suzhen again.

Lin Suzhen, however, seemed thoughtful, frowning as she looked at him for a moment before saying, "Dean, I'd like to ask you for a favor!"

Dean Cao hurriedly replied, "Please speak, please speak. Whatever your request, I will certainly do it!"

"There's a doctor at your Xie Xiang Hospital, and I'd like to ask Dean Cao to look after him..."

"No problem!" Dean Cao glanced at Guo Yongkun, then smiled knowingly and said, "Director Guo is a renowned surgeon in our hospital. Of course, we'd love to have such a talented person back! I'll process his reinstatement tomorrow; the position of head of the thoracic surgery department will remain his... Also, the hospital will fully compensate him for his salary during his absence. Don't worry, hehe..."

He was confident that his tact would please the former mayor's wife, but she only smiled faintly and said, "I think you've misunderstood, Dean Cao. I'm not asking you to take care of Director Guo!"

Dean Cao looked embarrassed and stammered, "Then... then who is it?"

Lin Suzhen looked around, seemingly hesitant, and remained silent for a long time.

Dean Cao subconsciously turned his head to look at the dining table where he was sitting. Around his seat were four other renowned doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, all of whom had been specifically invited. Could it be that one of these people, like Guo Yongkun, had a connection with Lin Suzhen?

The thought raced through his mind, and he couldn't help but flatter her, saying, "Please don't worry, just say it. I'll keep it a secret!"

Lin Suzhen then lowered her voice and said, "It

's Dr. Shen Song, who's sitting by the window!" "What? Dr. Shen from the thoracic surgery department?"

Dean Cao could hardly believe his ears. In his view, Shen Song could only barely be considered a "renowned doctor," and wasn't qualified to attend today's dinner. He was completely taken aback that Lin Suzhen would specifically mention Shen Song.

Lin Suzhen hummed in agreement, then suddenly smiled and waved towards someone.

Dean Cao followed her gaze and saw that she was gesturing to Shen Song. The latter was leaning lazily back in his chair, casually making a "V" sign, then sticking out his tongue at Dean Cao with a nonchalant, grinning expression.

Lin Suzhen obviously noticed as well, and chuckled, saying, "Dr. Shen is quite an interesting person. But to be honest, I haven't known him for very long. How is his usual performance at the hospital?"

Dean Cao smiled wryly and said, "Well... sigh, Dr. Shen's medical skills are undeniable, but his personality is rather eccentric, and he lacks a sense of responsibility. He skips work every few days... especially after the New Year, it got even worse. He would casually call in sick and then not come to the hospital for a long time, which infuriated several of the department heads..."

"Really? Then I must say a few words for Dr. Shen!" Lin Suzhen hesitated for a moment, lowering her voice even further. "Actually, Dr. Shen has a reason for taking leave. As you probably know, my only daughter recently fell seriously ill and hasn't been able to recover. Thanks to Dr. Shen's kind heart, he has spent a lot of time taking care of her these past few days, which has slowly improved her condition..."

Dean Cao was surprised again. Seeing the tenderness and even tears welling up in Lin Suzhen's eyes when she talked about her daughter, it was clear how important her daughter was to her. Undoubtedly, she was also very grateful to Shen Song for taking care of her daughter, perhaps even more so than to Guo Yongkun.

"That's right, that must be it! So she asked me to take care of Shen Song, not Guo Yongkun!"

Dean Cao suddenly realized, deeply regretting his earlier bad words about Shen Song. He hurriedly tried to make amends, praising Shen Song for his kindness and generously promising that he would not pursue Shen Song's dereliction of duty any further. In fact, he would give him more convenience and more freedom to manage his time so that he could continue to take good care of the daughter of the former deputy mayor's wife.

Lin Suzhen nodded, politely but coldly thanked him, and then ignored Dean Cao, turning to entertain other guests who came forward to offer toasts.

More than an hour later, the banquet came to an end. People got up and left in twos and threes.

Guo Yongkun was almost the last to leave. He consciously avoided the crowd, went to the restaurant's restroom, lit a cigarette, and patiently killed time, intending to leave quietly after everyone else had left.

However, things didn't go as planned. Footsteps sounded, and a familiar voice came from behind.

"Ha, brother, you really are here!"

Guo Yongkun turned around, smiled slightly, and said, "Long time no see, Brother Yu. How have you been?"

"Good, good. I can eat and sleep well! Haha..."

Yu Xin said as he stepped forward and smiled as he shook Guo Yongkun's hand.

"There were too many people at the banquet earlier, so it wasn't convenient to talk, and I didn't come over to greet you. I hope you won't mind!"

"Don't mention it! With our friendship, saying 'mind' is really too much!"

The two shook hands warmly, their faces beaming with smiles as if they were old friends reunited. The "grudge" they had formed last year due to a drunken fight seemed to have long since vanished, forgotten with a smile.

However, if you looked closely, you could see that their muscles were somewhat stiff, giving the impression of forced smiles.

"I've been busy with business lately, and I was also abroad for a while, so I haven't had a chance to contact you..."

"Yeah, yeah, same goes for me. I only recently came back to the city. When are we going to find a place for us to get together properly?"

"Sure, I'll treat you then, don't try to take it from me..."

The two chatted as they walked out of the restroom. Seeing that all the guests had left, they smiled at each other and headed towards the parking lot.

"Brother, have you been having some bad luck lately?" Guo Yongkun asked casually. "I noticed you were quite quiet at the banquet, barely saying a word from beginning to end. It's not like you at all!"

Yu Xin sighed and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, business has been getting worse and worse lately. I'm quite disheartened, and I might even retire by the end of the year!"

"No way, brother, you're still young! Retiring so early, how will you pass the time?"

"Hehe, passing the time isn't difficult! Maybe I'll learn from you, brother, and settle down first, finding a beautiful and powerful businesswoman to be my wife..."

Upon hearing this, Guo Yongkun suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Yu Xin.

Yu Xin looked back at him calmly, his gaze unwavering.

After a moment, Guo Shuikun coughed and said, "Learning from me? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed... I don't seem to have the good fortune to marry what you call a beautiful and powerful businesswoman..."

"You're too modest, brother! If Deputy Director Lin Suzhen heard this, she'd be overjoyed... hahaha!"

Guo Yongkun's eye twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? What does this have to do with her?"

"Brother, stop hiding it. Lin Suzhen is getting remarried at the end of this year. Everyone knows this rumor, but no one has been able to guess who the groom is. I only suddenly realized at the banquet just now—it's you, brother!"

Guo Yongkun grumbled, "Just because she's a little more respectful to me, calling me her benefactor, you've brought up remarriage... Brother, you're overthinking it!"

"Hey, given our relationship, if you deny it again, you're not being a good friend!"

"Okay, I won't deny it. Let the facts speak for themselves!"

Guo Yongkun shrugged, observing Yu Xin discreetly, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

"Speaking of rumors, I suddenly remembered there's also a rumor about you, and it happens to be related to Lin Suzhen!"

"Really?" This time, Yu Xin's eyes twitched slightly. "What rumor? Tell me about it!"

"I heard that her daughter, that little girl Xiao Shan, has secretly recognized you as her godfather..."

Yu Xin was first shocked, then forced a smile: "Your information network is quite extensive! Yes, it is true, but very few people know about it. It seems that Lin Suzhen probably told you. Am I right?"

Guo Yongkun was taken aback by his quick admission and was speechless for a moment.

Yu Xin continued, "Actually, the godfather thing is fake. That girl suffered a lot, and Lin Suzhen felt sorry for her and wanted to send her abroad to get away from all the trouble here. She knew I had extensive connections overseas and connections for immigration, so asking her daughter to recognize me as her godfather was just paving the way for the future. It was purely a transactional kinship arrangement, not worth mentioning!"

Guo Yongkun then showed a relieved expression, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, since you're so frank, I'll tell you the truth too. Lin Suzhen did express her affection for me and hinted at marriage, but I always felt something was off. Just because I cured her illness, she developed feelings for me? That's not something a worldly woman with her experience should have." "If it were her daughter Xiao Shan acting like this, it would be more plausible..."

Yu Xin agreed, then said thoughtfully, "Perhaps Lin Suzhen is considering worldly matters and wants to find a man to marry in order to quell the rumors surrounding her. Brother, you have money and social status, so you're naturally the best candidate."

Guo Yongkun frowned and said, "What you said makes some sense. But I have a feeling that things aren't that simple... She's only spreading rumors that she's going to remarry, but she won't reveal that the person she's going to remarry is me, and she wants me to keep it a secret... Maybe she's just using me as a cover to protect a man with whom she has a real ambiguous relationship!"

Yu Xin asked tentatively, "Judging from your tone, are you suspecting someone?"

"Yes, I suspect you!"

Guo Yongkun said in a half-joking, half-serious tone, but his gaze became very sharp.

Yu Xin chuckled, "I'd love to. Lin Suzhen is a bit older, but her looks and temperament are still top-notch. And being older has its advantages; she'll definitely have a wealth of experience, hehehe... If she really chooses me, I'd be happy to sacrifice myself!"

Guo Qiukun said sarcastically, "Really? I thought you were only interested in Shi Xianglan!"

"Being interested is useless. She's been missing for so long; who knows if she's dead or alive? People always need to find something new to enjoy..."

Just as he finished speaking, Guo Qiukun suddenly made a strange gesture, stopping Yu Xin's words, and then raised his voice, shouting, "Who's sneaking around in front? Come out!"

Yu Xin seemed startled and turned to look. He saw a dark figure in the corner of the wall not far away, looking extremely eerie.

Hearing the shout, the dark figure slowly walked out and stood in front of the two of them.

It was Shen Song.

His face was very ugly, and his eyes darted between Guo Qiukun and Yu Xin, as if considering how to speak.

Guo Yongkun, his face stern, broke the silence first: "Dr. Shen, you're quite skilled! You've actually learned the art of eavesdropping!"

Yu Xin added sarcastically, "It's just a pity you didn't learn it well enough; you got exposed! Perhaps you need to retake the course!"

An angry expression flashed across Shen Song's face, but he quickly regained his composure and coldly said, "Who was eavesdropping on you? I was just waiting for someone here. It was your filthy conversation that stubbornly crawled into my ears!"

With that, he turned and strode away without looking at the two of them again, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Guo Yongkun and Yu Xin watched his retreating figure, their faces turning ashen, but neither took any further action. They simply stood there silently, one's brow furrowing even more, the other secretly clenching his fist…

※ ※ ※ ※

A gentle evening breeze blew; it was the perfect time for a stroll.

He took off running, his heart pounding with anxiety, as if a demon was chasing him.

No, it wasn't a demon, but someone far more terrifying.

—It was that guy! The perverted sex fiend who kidnapped Shi Xianglan, it must have been him!

A voice seemed to scream in his head. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with pain, regret, and rage towards "that guy."

He had trusted that guy completely. The man claimed to be developing a drug to promote ape mating—such a clumsy lie, yet he had believed it without question, falling headlong into the trap and becoming his assistant, willingly helping with the research.

The results came quickly: the powerful aphrodisiac, generation after generation—Original Sin!

It wasn't until his consultation with Lin Suzhen that he was horrified to discover that the drug he had helped develop had become a tool for the sex fiend! Although the guy later fabricated an excuse, claiming the drugs were sold to a foreign manufacturer and it was just a coincidence that they ended up in the hands of the sex offender, he inevitably began to have his first suspicions.

So, on the surface, he agreed to continue developing the latest generation of "Original Sin," but secretly he devised a cure and secretly injected it into Lin Suzhen's body.

Fortunately! The cure was effective; Lin Suzhen's drug dependence symptoms quickly lessened significantly, and even her memory miraculously returned.

He was greatly encouraged and secretly injected the cure into Xiao Shan, allowing the high school girl to fully recover as well.

His original plan was that once the mother and daughter regained their memories, they could provide the police with crucial clues about the sex offender. Then the sex offender's capture would be imminent, and Shi Xianglan would soon be saved.

However, things didn't go as planned. Whether the sex offender was too well hidden or the clues provided by Lin Suzhen and her mother were insufficient, the police were unable to catch the sex offender, and there was no concrete progress, leaving him greatly disappointed.

In this dejected mood, the New Year arrived. He saw the shocking scenes on television: the den of iniquity on fire, the police surrounding the mountain, and heard that the sex offender had been caught in a massive manhunt and was about to be captured.

Almost instinctively, he immediately dialed the guy's number, but the phone was switched off. He went to his usual residence, but it was empty. He asked all his friends, and the answer was always the same: "Strange, I haven't been able to find that guy these past few days either, I don't know where he went!"

His heart sank, and once again he thought of that terrible truth he had never dared to imagine before.

On the morning of the sixth day of the New Year, the police manhunt failed and they withdrew. Less than half a day later, the guy called him, warmly wishing him a belated Happy New Year.

When he couldn't help but ask why he had been missing for the past few days, the guy sighed and told him that the "Original Sin" drug had accidentally fallen into the sex offender's hands, and he feared he would be punished. So, upon hearing that the sex offender was surrounded, he was so afraid that he decided to flee to avoid getting into trouble.

"...After those police catch the sex offender, they'll easily find us when they trace the source of the drugs. They'll never believe that we actually have nothing to do with the sex offender. In the end, we'll definitely be tortured into confessing and become his accomplices! That's why I got more and more scared, and that's why I left without saying goodbye... Sigh, I was originally planning to never go back to China. Luckily, I saw the news today that the sex offender hasn't been caught, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to contact you now..."

The guy said, his tone filled with fear. He added that despite this, he still planned to observe for a while before considering returning to F City, and told him not to study "original sin" anymore, so as not to be implicated in the future.

After hanging up the phone, he was confused again. He had initially concluded that the other person was a sex offender, but the other person's words were reasonable and frank, seemingly not fabricated, which made him waver in his judgment!

Damn it! Was that guy really a sex offender?

In his distress, he even considered turning himself in and honestly telling the police the whole story so they could determine the truth. But after much consideration, he abandoned this plan. After all, everyone has selfish desires. Even if the police were magnanimous and didn't pursue the matter, for a successful person with considerable social standing to stoop to developing aphrodisiacs would be a disgrace if word got out, and he would never be able to hold his head up again.

Although he loved Shi Xianglan, his love wasn't to the point where he would sacrifice everything for her.

However, simply washing his hands of it and doing nothing seemed to go against his conscience. So, a thought struck him, and he decided to personally go to Lin Suzhen and her daughter to find out if that guy was indeed a sex offender.

To avoid arousing suspicion, he didn't speak rashly. Instead, he approached the mother and daughter indirectly, gradually becoming acquainted with them.

However, when he tentatively inquired about the pervert, he was met with resistance from both of them. One refused to answer, while the other insisted that, strangely, she had forgotten her experiences in the den of iniquity since regaining her memories.

He couldn't discern whether this was a lie or the truth, and felt helpless.

Just then, news inadvertently reached his ears—the pervert had secretly returned to F City and had even cultivated a relationship with the mother and daughter, perhaps even closer than his own.

He had initially been skeptical, but everything he had witnessed and heard that night was enough to prove the rumors true. The pervert's relationship with the mother and daughter was far more complex than it appeared on the surface!

"You heartless scoundrel! Your elaborate schemes to get close to Lin Suzhen and her daughter were nothing more than a means to keep a close watch on them, lest they reveal any secrets… But you probably didn't expect that this would only incriminate you, making me even more certain that you are the prime suspect in the case of the pervert!"

He was filled with grief and indignation, yet felt utterly helpless. Because so far, all of this was merely his intuition and deduction. There was no direct evidence to accuse the other party of being the pervert.

Worse still, the pervert might now be doubting him as well. After all, the mother and daughter's memories had returned one after the other; to say this was a coincidence caused by the failure of "original sin" was far too coincidental. The only reasonable explanation was that someone had injected them with the antidote, and the pervert must know who was most likely to have developed the antidote.

He suddenly shivered, feeling a chill run down his spine. He knew his behavior at the hotel had given him away, and with the pervert's keen observation skills, he was almost certain he hadn't escaped those chilling eyes!

Just as fear began to creep in, his phone rang.

He pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came through, causing his heart to race several times over, his expression changing drastically, his face turning crimson!

He didn't notice a figure quietly approaching him from a distance…

※ ※ ※ ※

At the same moment, in a classroom at F City's Second Municipal High School, students were having evening self-study.

The teachers were absent; some mischievous boys were copying homework, some were engrossed in reading pornographic magazines, and others were chatting and laughing in hushed tones.

"Hey, have you guys heard? Hong Kong's famous director, Fatty Wong, is going to make another Category III film!"

"Really? Fatty Wong is my favorite director! Hahaha, that's great!"

"Well, Fatty Wong's past films, like the 'Rape' and 'Peeping Tom' series, were definitely classics, but his recent performances have declined; his films haven't been as good!" "

That's because he can't find good actresses. You need someone with both charisma and a great figure, and they have to be sexy—it's getting harder and harder to find Category III actresses like that!"

"But I heard that Fatty Wong successfully persuaded a mainland actress to 'go into the industry.' She's not only the most stunning actress ever, but also the most famous!"

"Really? Since she's already so famous, why would she need to make a Category III film?"

"Fool! Fatty Wong must have spared no expense; he offered a high enough price that even the most famous actresses are tempted!"

"That's right! Haha, which actress is it? Let's find out!"

"Okay, I told you, it's that sexy goddess who's known as 'China's Number One Breasts'!"

"What? You mean... Chu Qian?"

"That's a wrap! Who are you kidding? Chu Qian going to make a Category III film? Only a fool would believe that!"

"Absolutely true, you're a dog lying! A distant cousin of mine works for Fatty Wang! He said the script and title are ready, Chu Qian has already signed a contract, and I heard filming will start no later than the second half of the year..."

"It sounds more and more plausible, hehe... What's the title?"

"The title is 'Big Breasts Are a Crime'! The story is about a busty mother and daughter who are raped by a perverted sex fiend..."
"Ah, that sounds pretty intriguing! Is it using big breasts as a selling point? That would really suit Chu Qian!"

"Yeah, I've been fantasizing about Chu Qian's big breasts for so long, I really want to see what they look like naked!"

"Hmm, and it feels even better when that pervert grabs you and squeezes those big tits hard, hahaha..."

The boys chuckled lewdly, their laughter punctuated by frivolous whistles.

But just then, an angry shout of "Shut up!" came from the side!

The whole class was startled and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see that the one who had shouted was a girl of "school beauty" caliber. Her delicate face was filled with anger, her eyes brimming with tears of grief and indignation, and her chest heaving with rage.

The boys' gazes naturally drifted towards her. Beneath her bright school uniform were a pair of already fully developed teenage breasts. No, not just "fully developed," those two plump, tender mounds of flesh were definitely fuller and rounder than most married women, even exuding a weight that seemed disproportionate to her age.

The lewd laughter resumed, and the boys became even more unrestrained. They already knew what had happened to this "school beauty," and they all vaguely understood why her breasts had gone from "girlish" to "mature woman."

"What's it to you, Xiao Shan!" a boy sneered, "Chu Qian is just your idol, not ours! We boys only see her as a sexual fantasy, and this pervert can satisfy our desires..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Shan suddenly jumped up, screaming with tears streaming down her face, and swung her backpack at the boy who had spoken.

"You're the one who should be caught by this pervert! You bastard... if you want to squeeze breasts so badly, why don't you go home and squeeze your mother's breasts! Fuck your mother's cunt..."

The classroom erupted in chaos. The boy was beaten and ran away in a panic. Several girls nearby rushed to the rescue, some trying to break up the fight, others offering comfort, and they finally managed to stop the crying and cursing Xiao Shan.

The homeroom teacher rushed over upon hearing the commotion. After learning what had happened, she severely criticized the boys and ordered them to apologize to Xiao Shan. The boys, with long faces, reluctantly complied.

But Xiao Shan seemed much calmer. She indifferently wiped away her tears and told the homeroom teacher that she wasn't feeling well again and asked to go home early to rest.

The homeroom teacher agreed. So Xiao Shan slung her backpack over her shoulder, silently walked out of the classroom, hailed a taxi at the school gate, and got in.

Fifteen minutes later, the taxi stopped at her destination.

Xiao Shan paid the fare and got out. Looking up, almost every apartment in the building was brightly lit, except for her own, which remained dark.

Her mother hadn't come home yet! She must be out socializing again, probably not home until midnight.

Xiao Shan felt lost and confused. Why was her mother not home when she most longed to see her and receive her comfort?

She slowly walked up the stairs, sobbing softly, tears of grievance streaming down her face.

Those damned boys, what they said was so hurtful! They were deliberately reopening old wounds.

—No one will respect me anymore… because I was raped by a pervert. And… I also had a miscarriage!

Ever since regaining her memories, these two sentences have constantly echoed in Xiao Shan's ears, tormenting her and causing her unbearable pain.

Originally the most cheerful and proud young woman, she is now a severely withdrawn individual, on the verge of collapse, having fallen from heaven to hell.

She hates those heartless boys, hates the pervert, and hates herself—why did she regain such painful memories? If she were still an amnesiac, perhaps she could live a peaceful and happy life…

Reaching her doorstep, Xiao Shan took out her key, opened the front door, and walked listlessly towards her room without turning on the light.

Just then, she suddenly heard faint voices coming from her mother's bedroom next door.

She froze, only then noticing that although the bedroom door was closed, a faint light was shining through the crack, indicating that the light inside was on. But looking up from downstairs, it was pitch black – what a strange thing!

A bizarre thought popped into Xiao Shan's mind. Could it be that thick winter curtains were hanging inside, blocking out the light? What was the purpose of that? Could it be…?

She tiptoed to the bedroom door and listened intently. Sure enough, she could hear two people talking. One was her mother, and the other was a hoarse male voice.

"Hehe, what a pair of full, big breasts, so smooth and tender, it's just a pity they're a little saggy… But for your age, they're already quite good, and the nipples aren't too dark either. Hahaha…"

This was the man's lewd laughter, followed by her mother's heavy breathing and soft moans, as if she was enjoying being touched.

Xiao Shan's face flushed red. She felt both ashamed and angry, unsure whether to burst in and yell at the adulterous couple, or turn around and run away to avoid seeing them.

The man's laughter grew even more lewd and unrestrained.

"Feeling good, huh? Look at you, your nipples are all perked up... Hehehe, don't hold it in anymore. A woman who has been controlled by 'original sin,' even if she has physically overcome her addiction, can never truly break the psychological addiction! Hahaha..."

Hearing the word "drug addiction," Xiao Shan almost cried out in shock, her hair standing on end. Although she didn't know what drug had been injected into her body when she fell into the hands of the lecherous man, the agonizing pain of being tormented by the drug, wishing for death but unable to, was still vivid in her memory.

—Drug addiction! Who was this man? How did he know about her mother's "drug addiction"?

Xiao Shan trembled involuntarily, suddenly realizing that the man's voice seemed familiar; she must have heard it somewhere before.

She couldn't help but lie down on the floor and peek through the crack in the door.

Her mother was kneeling on the bed, her clothes disheveled, a pillowcase stuffed in her mouth, her arms twisted behind her back by a man. Her posture was incredibly awkward, and her two heavy, snow-white breasts drooped down, being wantonly played with by the man's other hand.

Xiao Shan was terrified; her heart almost leaped out of her chest.

Under the lamplight, it was clear that the man's face was covered with ugly, hideous scars, and his eyes gleamed with smugness. He was the perverted sex fiend who had stolen her virginity!

It was a nightmare she could never forget. She thought the dream was over, that it was in the past, but she never expected it to return so quickly!

"Let me tell you! Zhennu, you and your daughter will never escape my grasp! I know everything you've done..."

The familiar words, the familiar tone, terrified Xiao Shan so much that she couldn't even cry. She could only watch helplessly as her mother writhed and struggled in the familiar clutches of the demon, desperately and helplessly shaking her head and swaying her hips, like a beautiful female beast caught in the clutches of a hunter.

"Shaking your ass so hard, do you want it? Hehe, don't rush, in half an hour, Shannu should be back soon. Then I'll satisfy you both, mother and daughter, in one go, hahaha..."

These two sentences were like a wake-up call. Xiao Shan suddenly realized the dangerous situation she was in.

It was obvious that the pervert had broken in, subdued her mother, and wasn't satisfied; he was going to try and take advantage of her too… Luckily, she had come home early tonight, just in time to witness this. Otherwise, half an hour later, the pervert would have been fully prepared, and she would have been his sex slave again from the moment she walked in!

Thinking of this, Xiao Shan trembled even more violently, her teeth chattering. She used all her strength to control herself, stiffly and slowly getting to her feet, barely daring to breathe, and walking step by step outside.

Finally out of the house, Xiao Shan ran frantically down the stairs, pulling out her phone to dial the police.

As soon as the call connected, she burst into tears, crying out in despair, "Help me! Police officers, help my mother… help me…"

※ ※ ※ ※

At exactly nine o'clock in the evening. The piercing sound of police sirens echoed down the street.

More than ten police cars sped past, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 54 Each with Their Own Hidden agendas

The next morning, the front page of the city's largest-circulation newspaper, the *F City Daily*, featured a shocking headline:

— Mother Saves Daughter, Kills Unidentified Sex Fiend

"Comprehensive Report from Our Reporter" A "perverted sex fiend" who had been rampaging for over a year was unexpectedly killed by a woman? The assailant broke into the former deputy mayor's wife's residence last night with malicious intent, but the former deputy mayor's wife, desperate to protect her daughter, fought back and accidentally killed the sex fiend in self-defense! Police arrived at the scene and, based on clues, located the sex fiend's temporary hideout and rescued the police officers who had been previously imprisoned. However, due to the mangled face of the body, the true identity could not be confirmed at this time and further examination was needed.

According to a police spokesperson, around 8 PM last night, the deputy mayor's wife, Lin Xizhen, returned home and discovered she was being followed and someone had broken into her residence. Since no one else was home at the time, Lin could only feign ignorance to buy time. Unexpectedly, Lin's daughter, Xiao X, returned home early and noticed strange noises coming from her mother's bedroom. Peeking through the crack in the door, she saw the assailant and frantically called the police. The perpetrator chased after her, attempting to kill her to cover his tracks. However, in a moment of inattention, Lin X, protective of her daughter, struck him on the head from behind with a vase,

causing him to collapse severely injured. It is understood that the perpetrator was already unconscious at the time, while Lin X, in a state of agitation and fearing he would harm her daughter, grabbed whatever was nearby and struck the perpetrator on the head, face, and back of the head, causing his death. When the police arrived, it was impossible to identify the perpetrator from the face.

Snake flesh found between the teeth became the key to solving the case.

Police investigation revealed no identification documents among the body's clothing. A forensic examination subsequently found remnants of snake meat soup in the teeth. Only one snake restaurant in the city, "Snake King Two," serves this dish. Police questioned the restaurant and learned that a staff member had delivered takeout to a suburban residence that evening; the orderer was a suspicious man wearing sunglasses and a mask.

Led by the employee, police located the residence, broke down the door, and found it to be the perpetrator's hideout. They rescued a police officer surnamed Wang who had been kidnapped earlier and recovered numerous items linked to the crime. Subsequent hair and fingerprint analysis confirmed that the deceased had lived in the house. While the perpetrator's name and identity are currently unknown, police suspect he possesses advanced disguise skills and may operate under a false identity. Therefore, police urge the public to report any unexplained disappearances of men they know to the police as soon as possible.

As newspapers were distributed to every household, the news spread throughout the city at breakneck speed, once again causing a sensation comparable to an earthquake!

All media outlets were excited, dispatching numerous reporters to follow up on the incident. The online media naturally had the biggest advantage, updating news almost every hour, covering everything from on-site investigations to follow-up reports, from case history reviews to future developments—leaving no stone unturned. Interviewees included police officers, forensic doctors, psychologists, sociologists, Lin Su-zhen's neighbors, Xiao Shan's classmates, and ordinary passersby. Thousands of words, filled with both true and hearsay accounts, filled the pages of various news websites.

However, the only regrettable thing was that no media outlet could interview the two key figures in the case—Lin Su-zhen and her daughter! The reason was that since the incident, the mother and daughter had been taken to the police station for questioning and had not yet returned home. Hundreds of reporters had gathered outside the police station, waiting patiently, refusing to disperse despite police pleas, claiming they would wait until the parties involved emerged.

As night fell, Lin Su-zhen and her daughter remained at the police station. Not only were reporters growing impatient, but various speculations began circulating online. Some claimed that while Lin Su-zhen's killing of the sex offender was in self-defense, she had gone too far, constituting "excessive self-defense," hence the police's detention.

This news caused an uproar online, quickly dividing netizens into opposing camps for heated debate.

Some netizens believed Lin Su-zhen did indeed act "excessively in self-defense," and while her situation was sympathetic, the law should not be taken lightly, and the police's handling of the matter was justified. However, many more netizens expressed strong opposition, stating that a mother's actions to protect her daughter from harm were forgivable. Some female netizens, in particular, passionately declared that Lin Su-zhen's killing of the sex offender was a public service, not only innocent but also meritorious, deserving high praise.

By the early hours of the following day, whether due to public pressure or the conclusion of the "assistance with the investigation," Lin Suzhen and her daughter finally emerged from the Criminal Investigation Department. Facing a swarm of reporters, the mother and daughter clearly had no intention of giving interviews, tearfully weaving through the crowd to their car.

However, reporters persisted, shoving microphones into the car window and bombarding them with questions.

Lin Suzhen, finally unable to resist, hastily uttered, "For my daughter, and for all the women in the city to no longer live in fear of a sex offender, I'm willing to pay any price!"

With that, the car window rolled up, and the car carrying the mother and daughter sped away amidst the flashing lights.

Although they only received one sentence, all the reporters treated it like a treasure, reporting with professional skill and enthusiasm from their respective media perspectives.

Half an hour later, major websites in F City were the first to update the news, highlighting Lin Suzhen's single sentence in striking colored font as a prominent subheading on the front page.

The click rate skyrocketed instantly. Netizens were moved to varying degrees by these words, especially female netizens who were mothers; their rich emotional cells were activated, and many were moved to tears, feeling a deep sense of sympathy and admiration. Even those who had initially gloated and secretly mocked Lin Suzhen for becoming a sex predator's plaything underwent a dramatic change in attitude, leaving comments praising her. Although

a few people reminded everyone that six months ago, Lin Suzhen had succumbed to the sex predator's power, harming herself and others, and implicating her daughter and many other victims. But this faint voice was quickly drowned out. After all, Lin Suzhen had won the favor of most citizens, and her previously severely declining reputation began to climb along with the click rate. In less than half a day, she became the most respected female civil servant in the eyes of the citizens...

※ ※ ※ ※

"For my daughter, and for all the women in the city to no longer live in fear of the pervert, I am willing to pay any price! Hahaha... Zhennu, that's really well said! It's the most unofficial official speech ever, hahaha..."

A burst of mocking laughter came from the man's mouth, echoing in the spacious office.

The laughter was triumphant, but the muscles on the man's face seemed stiff and motionless, coupled with the ugly and hideous scars, making him look extremely terrifying.

This was the face that Xiao Shan had seen with her own eyes! The pervert's face! Awei's face!

After disappearing for nearly two months, this face, familiar to all the victims, was still as "charming" and terrifying as ever. However, compared to the past, there seemed to be a slight difference; she had become noticeably stiff, rigid, and devoid of any emotion.

"But, the whole city probably never dreamed..." Awei laughed even more smugly, tossing a bra he had just taken off far away, and said mockingly, "The former deputy mayor's wife, this is the price she paid!"

"Shh—keep your voice down! If someone hears me, I'm finished..."

Lin Suzhen's face flushed red, her arms instinctively covering her bare breasts, while she glanced fearfully towards the door.

Although she knew the door was locked, and it was lunchtime, and most of the office staff had left, she still instinctively felt guilty and panicked.

"What are you afraid of? Even your daughter has heard of and seen this kind of thing. At worst, we can just do it again, hehehe!"

Awei said, pointing confidently to his crotch, where his erect penis was already standing tall.

Lin Qinzhen understood his meaning, sighed, and slowly knelt down at his feet. She reached out and cupped her two full breasts, clumsily beginning to perform a breastjob on him.

Awei quietly enjoyed it. Although these two large mounds of flesh were heavy and very sensual, they were indeed somewhat sagging, and the breast tissue was too soft to form a tight cleavage to hold his penis. Therefore, in terms of breastjobs alone, the former deputy mayor's wife's breasts were not exactly top-notch. Although she tried her best to squeeze her breasts with her hands to give his penis a more "tight" feeling, it was ultimately only passable.

However, Awei was still quite satisfied. After all, this was another "prey" who, in a conscious state, obediently chose to cooperate with him after the Demon Cave was destroyed by fire, and the most thorough and devoted cooperation at that!

The previous two cooperators were Chu Qian and Meng Xuan. Of course, their situations were slightly different. Chu Qian succumbed more to violence and coercion, while Meng Xuan's actions were somewhat understandable due to Wang Yu's "weakness."

But Lin Suzhen, it might be unbelievable, was actually bought off by naked greed and lust for power!

Awei narrowed his eyes, looking at the beautiful woman kneeling at his feet, shamelessly performing oral sex on him, a mocking expression creeping into his gaze.

Conquering her was simpler than he'd imagined!

—Think about it yourself, I can give you everything you want… the money, status, power, and reputation you've lost, I can give you back, and even more than you ever had before!

These were the two sentences he had thrown at Lin Suzhen a month ago. In addition, there was a whole box full of banknotes.

At that time, Lin Suzhen was probably at the lowest point in her life—her husband, Xiao Chuan, had died suddenly, the family's main breadwinner had collapsed, and the expensive medical bills for both mother and daughter had nearly depleted their savings. Although their standard of living was slightly better than the average person, both mother and daughter were used to a life of luxury and extravagance. Even a slight reduction in spending made them feel miserable, and the thought of living like this for a long time was terrifying, even more so than being violated by a lecherous man.

Therefore, Awei's sudden appearance was like a "timely rain" for Lin Suzhen. Although she was initially angry, fearful, and hated this enemy who had destroyed her happiness and her daughter's innocence, Awei easily overcame her punches and kicks, and amidst her cries and curses, he pinned her to his bedroom bed and forcibly raped her.

"Think it over carefully. I'll come back in a week. You can call the police, confiscate the money, and let the police set a trap to catch me; or you can leave the door unlocked that night, take off your clothes, and lie on this bed waiting for me."

With that, he smiled confidently and strode away. Lin Suzhen, her face streaked with tears, lay blankly on the bed, completely naked, her legs still limply open, letting the cloudy white fluid slowly flow out.

A week later, he arrived as promised, and the first thing he saw was almost the same scene—the mature beauty lay quietly on the bed in the same position, naked, her legs spread, as if she hadn't moved for a whole week.

Awei was initially startled, but immediately noticed that the scene was slightly different. First, the fluid flowing from her genitals had disappeared; second, the small box full of banknotes had also disappeared!

He understood, and with a lewd grin, he walked over. The same bedroom, the same bed, and the intense intercourse began once again. The difference was that the former deputy mayor's wife, who had fought desperately last time, had disappeared, and the original "real slave" had returned!

After the climax, the "real slave," panting, ignored her two exposed, plump breasts still trembling on her chest, and her first words were: "You said you could give me back my status, power, and reputation... Is that true?"

Awei was both amused and exasperated, but he was even more certain that this beautiful woman was no longer under his control and would be completely at his mercy.

"Whether it's true or not, words are not enough. You'll soon see for yourself!"

He casually tossed out these words and once again strode away, leaving Lin Suzhen with a sense of unfathomable mystery and a feeling of excitement and unease...

Over the next two weeks, Awei secretly used his methods and, without much trouble, got Lin Suzhen into the position of deputy director of the Health Bureau.

This filled Lin Suzhen with mixed feelings of surprise and joy, and she looked at this devilish man with new respect. Her hatred faded, replaced by admiration and awe. She knew that while buying an official position wasn't difficult in China with money, there were always plenty of people lining up to buy it. The fact that the devil had managed to do it so quickly meant he not only had money but also special skills or connections!

This thought instantly revitalized Lin Suzhen, making her feel as if she had become ten years younger. She regained her former beauty and charm, and internally, she was completely subservient to the lecherous devil…

In reality, after losing his capable assistant, Old Sun, Awei had no connections in the officialdom. He had only managed to find a so-called "expert" in the medical field through his past connections. This expert's brother-in-law happened to be a provincial-level official in charge of medicine. Awei told this "expert" that he had analyzed the specific components of the "original sin" drug and made initial progress in finding a cure, and was now willing to share these research results.

The "expert" was overjoyed. At the request of superiors and the police, many colleagues in the medical field have been working tirelessly in their spare time for the past ten years to research "original sin," but so far without any substantial progress. Whoever makes the first breakthrough will instantly become famous and the brightest star in the industry.

Thus, a dirty deal was successfully completed—Awei indeed revealed everything about "original sin," and Lin Suzhen immediately became the deputy director.

Two equally ugly souls, a man and a woman, colluded, extending their greedy tentacles towards their next target.

"You want to be a higher-ranking official? No problem. However, we must first devise a plan to eliminate this 'hidden threat'! Otherwise, it's like having a time bomb buried next to your pillow, never finding peace.

" Although Lin Suzhen had already chosen evil, she was still stunned when she heard Awei's "plan." Because this plan even involved her daughter, Xiao Shan! As a mother, she still had a conscience, and her guilt towards her daughter almost made her resolutely refuse the pervert's proposal!

However, her fear of the pervert, her boundless longing for a "bright future," and her loathing of poverty, coupled with the pervert's combination of threats and promises that he wouldn't cause any real harm to Xiao Shan, made Lin Suzhen seem to be bewitched, and she finally agreed to all his demands.

Next, a meticulously planned conspiracy unfolded silently.

The scene Xiao Shan witnessed outside the bedroom that night was actually a play staged by Awei and Lin Suzhen. The two had already received a call from the school teacher informing them that Xiao Shan had returned home early. Their actions in the bedroom were all deliberately performed for Xiao Shan's benefit.

Sure enough, the young woman ran out in a panic to call the police. Her account of the entire incident to the police afterwards seemed completely believable, especially her insistence that the man her mother had beaten to death was a sex offender, because she had personally seen the scars on his face and heard the familiar voice. This led some officers who had initially doubted why the deceased's face was so badly beaten to believe it was purely a coincidence and there was no possibility of a "switch."

However, a "switch" did indeed occur!

The body used as a scapegoat was that of a homeless man from out of town with no relatives. After several days of diligent searching, Awei found this unfortunate man, almost the same size and build as himself. He bribed him to stay in a house on the outskirts of the city for a few days, then took him to Lin Suzhen's residence. Just minutes before Xiao Shan entered, Awei ambushed and knocked unconscious, temporarily hiding him under the bed.

As Xiao Shan rushed out to call the police, Awei swiftly killed the victim with a vase, then used shards to slash the victim's face before slipping out the door unnoticed. Lin Suzhen, mustering her courage, continued striking the victim's head. This was undoubtedly the most terrifying and maddening experience of her life; witnessing the bloody carnage she had created nearly drove her to a mental breakdown. However, knowing that this was the only way to make the act more realistic, she forced herself to complete the task.

When the police arrived, they found a daughter in a state of extreme terror and a mother on the verge of hysteria. Any experienced officer could tell it was no act. In fact, it took them considerable effort to calm the mother and daughter down and understand the whole story.

Everything that followed followed naturally. When Lin Suzhen stepped out of the Criminal Investigation Department the next day, she had fully regained her shrewd political mind. Seemingly unintentionally, but actually carefully considered, she uttered that "classic" line, and sure enough, her popularity and reputation soared instantly, making her secretly delighted, believing that she was not far from the throne her late husband had once sat on...

The only thing that made Lin Suzhen feel guilty was that she had used her beloved daughter as a witness, causing her great fright. Moreover, although she had previously pleaded with Awei to let Xiao Shan go from now on, and Awei had readily agreed, she subconsciously felt that this was probably just wishful thinking on her part, and that her daughter would sooner or later fall back into the clutches of this terrible man.

However, her insatiable lust for power overwhelmed everything. Lin Suzhen kept reassuring herself that she would soon find a way to send Xiao Shan abroad to study, and as long as she tried to keep the lecherous man from seeing her daughter, nothing would go wrong. On the other hand, she even naively fantasized that she could use her still mature and alluring body to attract the lecherous man's full attention, leaving him no time to target her daughter.

This idea, of course, did not escape Awei's notice. He was delighted and used this opportunity to begin another round of physical exploitation of this forty-year-old beauty. Previously, in the den of iniquity, he had not spent much time on her, and even when he did play with her, he mainly used "Original Sin." Now, however, he completely abandoned drugs and used meticulous and skillful training to repeatedly stimulate Lin Suzhen's sexual desire, causing her "tiger-like" hunger for her age to completely erupt, turning her into a thoroughly wanton old woman.

"Mmm...mmm...Master, this slave...mmm...this slave wants it so much..."

Lin Suzhen's face was flushed, panting as she used her breasts to stroke his penis, while a look of ecstasy appeared on her face as she extended her invitation.

Awei knew perfectly well that this beautiful woman was just worried that the office wasn't safe enough and that she might be alerted at any moment, so she wanted him to get to the "main event" as soon as possible and then finish and leave.

"If you want it, then put it in yourself, what are you waiting for?"

Awei said casually, leaning lazily against the leather sofa, showing no intention of "taking the initiative."

Lin Suzhen could only blush, stand up, take off her panties, and try to sit face-to-face with Awei.

"Wait! Change to the rear-entry position! You just learned it yesterday, let's see how much you can master today!"

Lin Suzhen obeyed and turned around, her two pink legs spread apart to lower her center of gravity, then she stuck out her smooth, big buttocks and brought them to Awei's erect penis. She swayed her beautiful buttocks back and forth, feeling her way for a moment before finally aligning her already moist vulva with the thick glans, and slowly pushing it back.

Their genitals instantly intertwined. Then, Lin Suzhen, with her back to Awei, slowly sat in his lap until her empty vagina was completely filled with the burning sensation.

"Ah...so thick, so big..."

Lin Suzhen couldn't help but moan, a seductive look appearing on her face behind her gold-rimmed glasses. Although she had already received the antidote and overcome her physical addiction, her psychological desire seemed impossible to dispel, instead growing even stronger.

"Fuck me...Master! Quickly...fuck me..."

But Awei merely reached for her breasts, wantonly playing with her plump, soft mounds of flesh, his lower body remaining completely still.

"I told you, if you want to feel good, just do it yourself. Hehehe!"

Lin Suzhen had no choice but to lean forward slightly with her upper body bare, her arms supporting her on the edge of the desk. Using the leverage, she repeatedly lifted her plump, white buttocks, then sat down deeply to push the penis as far as possible into her vagina.

Awei's eyes showed a satisfied expression, but he remained expressionless, letting Lin Suzhen move up and down, panting.

"Mmm...mmm...shoot it into me...master...mmm...all of it...shoot it into the slave..."

Lin Suzhen cried out exaggeratedly, twisting her waist with all her might, her neck occasionally tilting back, pressed tightly against Awei's chest, as if she was completely intoxicated. Her two full breasts jiggled wildly, almost hitting her chin with each thrust.

"Damn it, you want me to cum so soon! You're obviously just trying to get by!"

Awei was both angry and amused. He suddenly stood up, his strong arms lifting Lin Suzhen up, their genitals still joined, and walked step by step to the window.

With a "rip," the curtains were pulled open, and sunlight immediately streamed into the room.

"Ah! Master, what are you doing?"

Lin Suzhen exclaimed in horror, instinctively trying to cover her naked body. Although this office was on the top tenth floor, with no other buildings of similar height nearby, exposing herself naked by the window was still dangerous. What if someone happened to be looking through binoculars?

"What am I doing? Didn't you want me to fuck you? Why ask when you already know the answer!"

Awei chuckled lewdly, forcefully pressing Lin Suzhen's body against the windowsill, then pulling out his penis and bluntly aiming it at her tight anus between her plump buttocks.

"No, no... not here! Someone will see... ahhh!"

Lin Suzhen cried out in pain, then immediately realized she was being too loud and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. However, the pain from her anus still made her brows furrow and her face almost contort.

Fortunately, this wasn't her first time having anal sex with a pervert. Despite the lack of lubrication, her rectum had adapted to the invading object and quickly opened up like a vagina, tightly enveloping the entire penis.

"So what if they see? Let all the women in the city see how much you've paid to free them from the pervert's shadow forever! Maybe your reputation will continue to soar because of this. Hahaha..."

Awei teased casually, thrusting harder and harder, almost squeezing Lin Suzhen's naked upper body out of the window. Amidst the "slap, slap, slap" of flesh colliding, her two full, plump breasts swung more and more violently, giving the illusion that they might detach from her body and be thrown out of the building at any moment.

Downstairs, cars and pedestrians hurried by. Upstairs, two naked bodies were putting on a live sex show by the window!

Lin Suzhen was almost going crazy. Her body, developed by "original sin," reacted extremely strongly to this perverse sexual intercourse. Waves of pleasure from her breasts, vagina, anus, and even her entire body assaulted her brain. She cried out lewdly, and in the midst of the intense movements, even her gold-rimmed glasses had disappeared. Her disheveled hair added to the decadent atmosphere, and her two plump, white thighs kicked unconsciously, as if expressing the most primal pleasure...

Half an hour later, Awei left the office satisfied and strode towards the parking lot downstairs.

As he walked, he carefully considered his current situation.

Without a doubt, Lin Suzhen was completely controlled and would become a useful pawn. And this was only the first step in his—the infamous perverted sex fiend's—grand "comeback" plan. He will continue to manipulate and control more pawns until he finally captures the ultimate target he has always longed for!

During his time in hiding, while recovering from his injuries, Awei also engaged in serious self-reflection. He began to realize that challenging the police single-handedly was almost an "impossible mission." A significant reason for his repeated successes was the presence of Old Sun, a figure with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, who secretly supported him and provided unconditional assistance. With Old Sun dead, that pillar collapsed, and the seeds of failure were sown. Even if he had been more vigilant on New Year's Eve and hadn't been successfully countered by Su Zhongping, he would have inevitably failed due to other details.

Therefore, after learning from his mistakes, Awei made the decision to do everything in his power to win over Lin Suzhen. After all, no matter how down on her luck this former deputy mayor's wife was, she still possessed extensive connections. If she could rise again and become a powerful figure in the city, defeating the police under her protection would no longer be a distant dream!

Thinking this, Awei's lips curled into a mocking smile. These past few days, things seemed to be progressing very smoothly. According to media reports, although the perpetrator's identity was still unknown, in the minds of most citizens of F City, the case was already solved. Who the perpetrator was wasn't important; the key was that he was dead and wouldn't be able to harm anyone again.

As for the task force led by Li Tianming, they were clearly convinced that the unidentified corpse was the sex offender. Therefore, they were now focusing their efforts on all recently missing persons, trying to find clues through a process of elimination. This method was the most time-consuming; by the time they had results, it would be at least several months later. By then, all their plans would have been realized, and they would still be the ultimate winner, not the police.

The only potential troublemaker was that damned "traitor"! That scoundrel dared to secretly develop an antidote for "original sin," attempting to sabotage their grand plan. Fortunately, they discovered it early and took timely measures; otherwise, everything would probably have failed by now…

They arrived at the parking lot.

Awei found his car and had just gotten in when he received a call from Lin Suzhen.

"It's terrible! Master… no, it's terrible!"

Lin Suzhen's panicked voice came from the phone, as if she had encountered the most terrifying thing.

Awei snapped impatiently, "What's wrong? Calm down and talk this out!"

Lin Suzhen gasped for breath, finally managing to stop her trembling voice. "Grandma Shi... Grandma Shi wants to see me!"

Awei gasped. "What does she want to see you for?"

"I don't know. My secretary told me that she's called several times already, saying she has something important to discuss with me! My secretary made excuses, saying she didn't know if I was free this afternoon, but she actually said it was okay, she could wait for me at the door until I was free..."

Awei's heart pounded. Although he had expected that even if the "switcheroo" trick could fool everyone, Shi Binglan wouldn't believe it, he hadn't expected her to question Lin Suzhen so quickly and directly.

"What should I do? Master... how should I deal with her?"

Lin Suzhen's voice grew increasingly anxious; clearly, she knew she was almost certainly under suspicion.

"Don't be nervous. Tell me first, around what time will she arrive?"

"The secretary said around four o'clock, which is about an hour later. Master, please come back quickly. You can use this time to teach me what to do..."

"No, I can't go back! This might just be a trick by Shi Danai. She might arrive nearby in a few minutes and hide in the shadows to monitor this place. If she sees me going in and out of your office, she'll immediately become suspicious! So, to be on the safe side, we can only talk on the phone!"

"Well... okay!"

Then Awei launched into a long explanation, mainly analyzing the questions Shi Binglan might ask, and then instructing Lin Suzhen on how to answer each question appropriately. This included what expressions, demeanor, tone of voice, and even posture to use, as well as in what situations to be neither humble nor arrogant, and in what situations to retort... In short, he covered everything. After talking for more than forty minutes, until the phone was hot, he still felt like he hadn't said enough.

"Remember, no matter what, don't be nervous. Shi Danai has long lost real power and is all alone in the police station. Her coming to see you this time is definitely a personal act, without authorization from her superiors or support from her colleagues. It's completely illegitimate! So just treat her like a suspended officer. No matter how you treat her, she can't do anything about it!"

This was Awei's final advice. Perhaps these words had an effect, as Lin Suzhen's voice sounded much calmer. She readily agreed and hung up.

Awei started the car, drove several miles, then stopped by the roadside. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat in the car, smoking silently, trying to keep himself calm.

About half an hour later, Lin Suzhen called again. This time, her voice was very excited, all her previous tension gone.

"What you taught me really worked, Master... I fooled Granny Shi just like that. Hehehe, this is so much fun!"

"She's already left?"

"Yes, she only stayed for about ten minutes. This time she was unexpectedly humble, and didn't make things difficult for me at all! It seems you were right, she really didn't have any evidence and couldn't do anything to me, so she couldn't be tough at all..."

"Hmph, don't be too happy yet. This might just be Granny Shi's strategy of retreating to advance! Didn't she repeatedly press you for the specific details of your fight with the 'pervert' that night?"

"Yes! She clearly didn't believe the corpse was the pervert. She subtly raised her suspicions from the beginning, but I insisted I hadn't made a mistake. Then, pretending to be angry, I told her that if she didn't believe me, she could just leave it at that. Why did she have to ask me again? She quickly said that wasn't what she meant. She just found it strange that only Officer Wang Yu, the survivor, was found in that so-called 'devil's den,' but not her sister, Shi Xianglan. She said that whether her sister was alive or dead, there should be some definite news. There was no reason for her to seem to have vanished into thin air, neither seen alive nor dead!"

Awei hummed in agreement, secretly sneering. He had already considered this question when he planned the "switch plan," and he had just taught Lin Suzhen how to answer it.

Lin Suzhen's voice continued, "As you instructed, I pretended to recall for a while before suddenly remembering that when you broke into the bedroom and raped me, you laughed wildly and said that any female slave who dared to disobey would be punished like a big cow, and even after death, her bones would be ground to dust, leaving not a trace. When Shi Danai heard this, her face turned pale, and she anxiously asked me if the lecherous devil really mentioned the words 'big cow.' I pretended to hesitate and said I couldn't be sure, it seemed so, but it also seemed so..."

Awei said with satisfaction, "Very good, this kind of ambiguity will keep her guessing. What was her reaction after hearing this?"

"Her eyes turned red, and she looked very sad and disappointed. Then, as if all her strength had been drained, she leaned back in her chair in silence for a long time before getting up to take her leave."

"What? She just left like that?"

Awei asked in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his opponent had been so easily dealt with. From any perspective, she didn't seem like the type to give up so easily.

"Yes, she left listlessly. I don't think she believes the corpse was the pervert, but she probably believes I'm innocent..."

"Hard to say! Hmph, I reckon she'll keep observing you for a while. Don't be careless; if you slip up, all your efforts will be wasted!"

Awei gave her some more advice, and Lin Suzhen obediently agreed to everything. Just as they were about to hang up, Lin Suzhen suddenly seemed to remember something and chuckled.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention. Before leaving, Grandma Shi actually asked me if I knew which hospital in the city had the most professional plastic surgery department. I asked her why she was asking, and she hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly that she wanted to have breast augmentation surgery..."

"What?" Awei almost couldn't believe his ears, exclaiming, "Her breasts are so perfect and huge, why would she need plastic surgery? Does she want breast implants?"

"Not breast implants, breast reduction!" Lin Suzhen corrected, "She said, distressed, that her overly large breasts have brought her too much pain and shame. She heard that liposuction and other medical procedures can significantly reduce the size of large breasts, so she wants to try it..."

"Fuck! This woman must be overstimulated and out of her mind!"

Awei couldn't help but curse, a nameless rage rising within him. Damn it, those are unparalleled, exquisitely large breasts! If they were deliberately destroyed, it would be an absolute blasphemy against God's masterpiece and an unforgivable crime.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he realized something.

No, Granny Shi wasn't crazy! She was using a desperate tactic to force me to show myself!

"Yes, that must be it... She actually saw through Lin Suzhen's control a long time ago, but she deliberately didn't expose it to my face. Instead, she challenged me through Lin Suzhen's mouth. If I don't want to watch her huge breasts be ruined, I have to take immediate action to stop her, while she waits patiently, fully prepared, just waiting for me to show up... If I ignore it, she'll go all out and actually get breast reduction surgery. That way, even if I catch her again in the future, I won't get that greatest trophy, and the victory or defeat will be no different..."

Thinking of this, Awei couldn't help but secretly admire her skill. It seems that in the past two months, Shi Danai's breasts have not only become fuller, but her intelligence has not decreased either; on the contrary, she's become smarter than before. This one move, using minimal force to achieve maximum effect, has put me in an awkward dilemma.

"Master, Master... please don't be angry!" Lin Suzhen's frightened voice came from the phone. "I know you definitely don't want her to have breast reduction surgery, so I used a delaying tactic. I told her that I had just taken over as deputy director of the Health Bureau and wasn't familiar with the situation in all the hospitals in the city

yet. I asked her to wait patiently for two days until I had found out more, and then I would contact her again..." "Well done!" Awei praised, then sneered, "If Grandma Shi wants to play tricks on me, I'll play along... Hmm, that's all for now. I need to think about it carefully before I tell you how to answer her!"

He hung up the phone hastily, frowned, and sat in his car, deep in thought.

※ ※ ※ ※

Several days later, one noon. F City Municipal Hospital. Plastic Surgery Department.

"Dr. Xu, when can I have the surgery?"

Awei walked into the consultation room and asked the question directly as soon as he sat down.

Dr. Xu, with his gray hair and reading glasses, slowly flipped through the medical records. After a long pause, he said, "Sir, according to the last ultrasound, the subcutaneous fat layer in your abdomen is less than 2 centimeters thick, which is within the normal range. There's absolutely no need for liposuction!"

"Wow, the fat is almost 2 centimeters thick, and you say it's normal?" Awei complained. "If I don't get the fat removed now, it will grow further and become a real beer belly!"

He patted his belly as he spoke, making a "thump thump" sound.

Compared to two months ago, he had indeed gained some weight, with an extra layer of fat on his lower abdomen, but he was still far from having a "beer belly," which explained why the doctor advised against surgery.

"It's not that serious. Your body looks quite robust. By adult standards, you have relatively little body fat..."

Dr. Xu explained calmly. Actually, he wished more people would have this surgery, as it would increase his income. However, due to regulations, a feigned attempt to dissuade him was necessary first.

Awei was well aware of this, so no matter how Dr. Xu tried to persuade him, he stubbornly insisted on his own opinion and promised to bear all the consequences. Finally, he threatened that if they refused to perform the surgery here, he would have to go to another hospital, and Dr. Xu reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, if you're willing, then let's proceed with the surgery. However, this type of surgery occasionally causes complications, so to be responsible for the patient, you'll need to stay in the hospital for observation for two or three days after the surgery, and only be discharged after confirming there are no complications!"

Awei was delighted, repeatedly saying no problem, and that he hoped to be admitted to a hospital ward before the surgery so that he could have a thorough check-up and be fully prepared.

Dr. Xu was quite surprised. Patients always hoped for the shortest possible hospital stay, and liposuction surgery didn't require prior hospitalization. Why was this man actively asking to be "ripped off" by the hospital? Could he be here to cause trouble? Suspicion arose, and he reminded him that hospitalization was of course no problem, but all fees had to be prepaid.

Awei readily agreed, then added that he was naturally quiet and disliked noise, so he wanted the most luxurious single room, specifically the one at the very end of the seventh floor. He explained that it was the least crowded and most spacious room.

Dr. Xu thought to himself, "This guy must be a high-ranking government official or a wealthy man. He's willing to pay for comfort, so he's happy to oblige." Without further ado, Dr. Xu wrote out the prescription.

Awei took the prescription, paid the fee, and then went to the blood-drawing room as instructed, extending his arm for the nurse to draw blood.

The nurse in charge of drawing blood was a young woman with a ponytail, quite attractive, and with a rather full bust. Awei couldn't help but stare at her a few more times, recalling his first encounter with Shi Xianglan, a lecherous smile creeping onto his lips.

The nurse glared at him, then expertly drew a vial of blood, removed the needle, labeled it, and placed it on the table.

In that instant, Awei glanced left and right and saw that there were only three female nurses in the room, no one else. He thought to himself, "Thank goodness!

" He reached into his pocket, pulled out a glass bottle, and quietly unscrewed the cap. With a "whoosh," a laboratory mouse darted out of the bottle, leaping onto the table and charging forward.

"Ah! A mouse!"

the nurse cried out in alarm, but instead of turning and running away as Awei expected, she grabbed a stack of medical records and smacked the mouse repeatedly.

It seemed she was a nurse with a lot of fortitude, unlike most girls who were afraid of mice.

Awei thought to himself, "Oh no!" In a moment of quick thinking, he also shouted loudly and pretended to help, gesturing wildly.

The mouse scurried across the table, and amidst the clattering and crashing, medicines, jars, test tubes, and other equipment were overturned, creating chaos.

The other two nurses screamed shrilly, their voices so sharp that Awei's eardrums were ringing. Startled by their commotion, the white mouse jumped off the table. Since the doors and windows were closed, it couldn't escape immediately and began scurrying around the blood-drawing room.

The two nurses, even more terrified, jumped onto chairs and cried for help. Only the nurse drawing blood was brave enough to chase and swat the mouse while shouting for help.

At this moment, the security guard and several male doctors were also alerted and pushed open the door. Together, they worked to intercept the mouse, and after considerable effort, finally caught it.

"Strange? Where did this mouse come from?"

"Who knows? Maybe it escaped from the lab!"

"Impossible… the lab is so far away…"

The doctors and nurses discussed amongst themselves, hurriedly cleaning up the mess. No one noticed that Awei had quietly left the blood-drawing room.

He walked to a quiet corner of the corridor, his right hand emerging from his pocket, clutching a test tube filled with blood.

The tube originally had a label with his name on it, but the label was now gone.

The label was still in the blood-drawing room, affixed to another test tube filled with blood that he had brought.

"Hehehe, mission accomplished!"

Awei laughed smugly, even admiring himself for his quick sleight of hand in the chaos.

He tossed the test tube filled with his own blood into the trash can, turned, and went back to the infirmary to begin another test.

Two hours later, all the tests were finally finished. Led by the on-duty doctor, Awei arrived at the VIP ward area on the seventh floor.

Turning a corner, at the very end, there were only two rooms, one of which was the one Awei had specified.

However, he deliberately walked towards the other room, glancing around at the door: "Hmm, this one looks better, I'll just stay here!"

The on-duty doctor shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir! That's a ward reserved for the governor's wife. She's been resting at home for the past few days and will be moving back next week!"

Awei shrugged, seemingly quite regretful, and walked into the remaining ward.

Actually, he already knew about this; in fact, before even completing the admission procedures, he had thoroughly investigated the hospital and the VIP ward area on the seventh floor. Everything he was doing now was purposeful.

After the on-duty doctor left, Awei took off his clothes and lay down on the hospital bed, forcing himself to close his eyes and sleep.

It was still daytime, but there would be a lot of preparation work to do tonight and tomorrow, so he needed to be well-rested to cope with the upcoming confrontation…

At five o'clock in the evening, in the training room of the F City Criminal Investigation Bureau, shouts rang out continuously as more than ten lithe and agile figures practiced fighting moves in unison.

They were all recent graduates from police academy, about to join the police force and become dashing policewomen! Their still-youthful faces radiated pride and satisfaction, and their training was exceptionally diligent and earnest.

However, their instructor, Meng Xuan, seemed unsatisfied, her face stern as she shook her head, walking back and forth with a pointer in hand, correcting each policewoman's posture.

"Straighten your arms!"

"Lift your legs higher!"

"Pay attention, don't bend your back!"

With each of her shouts, the policewomen obeyed respectfully, none daring to be the slightest bit careless.

They all knew very well that although the female instructor in front of them didn't look much older than them, and was less than 1.6 meters tall—more "petite" than any of them—the power hidden within that delicate body was absolutely not to be underestimated. Not only was her fighting skill the best among all the female police officers, but even most of the strong male officers had to admit defeat when they fought her.

However, they had also heard that even someone as skilled as Meng Xuan had been captured by a lecherous man and suffered the humiliation of losing her virginity. While feeling sympathy and regret, they all secretly resolved to train their skills to be even stronger than Meng Xuan in the future, so as not to fall into the hands of bad people and repeat the same mistake.

Meng Xuan obviously saw through the thoughts of these young policewomen. Looking at their high, snow-white, delicate legs and their generally well-developed, full breasts that bounced with their movements, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, as if she were ridiculing their ignorance.

"I used to think the same way, believing that good kung fu could solve everything... Now I realize how naive that was... If you encounter your destined 'nemesis,' even the best martial arts won't help..."

Meng Xuan thought, biting her lip, her mind a jumble of emotions.

For her, there were two "nemesis." One was her lover, Wang Yu, and the other was a perverted sex fiend!

She had lost contact with both of them for a while, suffering terribly, but she had finally endured it. Just a few days ago, her wait finally paid off—the sex fiend was shot dead on the spot by Lin Suzhen, and the police found Wang Yu in that so-called "devil's den"!

When she first heard the news, Meng Xuan cried tears of joy, but when she truly reunited with Wang Yu, she found that her feelings weren't as joyful as she had imagined.

Perhaps it was because her lover was still in that mentally regressed, foolish state. Perhaps it was because the sex fiend was dead, leaving her feeling somewhat lost. Although she herself didn't understand why she felt such subtle and inexplicable feelings towards the demon who had raped and humiliated her...

"Beep beep, beep beep!"

The sound of a text message on her phone suddenly interrupted Meng Xuan's thoughts. She then realized that she had been daydreaming. The policewomen had been holding their positions for a long time, their pretty faces flushed from strain.

"That's enough training for today. Dismissed!"

Meng Xuan said, waving her hand, turning and walking a few steps away, then took out her phone. Her expression suddenly changed, and her petite body trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly. After a long pause, she pressed the button and began replying to the text message.

The first two words that appeared on the phone screen were—Master!

The next morning, the registration hall of F City Municipal Hospital was crowded with people waiting to see a doctor, the busiest time of the day.

Awei closed his eyes, then opened them again, his gaze falling on a large clock hanging on the wall, its hands clearly indicating 9:55.

He'd lost count of how many times he'd glanced at the clock; it was at least a glance every minute. The anxious anticipation was like that of a young man on a date with his first love—a mixture of longing and nervousness that made him chuckle.

After all, he hadn't seen Shi Binglan for two whole months!

In truth, if Awei wanted, he could "accidentally" bump into Shi Binglan anytime, disguised. But he'd restrained himself from doing so, partly because his injuries hadn't fully healed, and partly because he lacked confidence in his disguise.

He remembered how Shi Xianglan had recognized him instantly when he kidnapped her. If his sister's eyes were so sharp, his sister, a police officer, would be even more so. Of course, Shi Xianglan had encountered his disguise several times before and was relatively familiar with him, while Shi Binglan had only met him once or twice and might not have a strong impression, so theoretically, it was safe. But Awei was still worried that if he slipped up and was recognized on the spot, everything would be over.

Therefore, for the past sixty-odd days, although Awei had been closely observing and monitoring Shi Binglan's every move, it had all been done indirectly, and the two had never met!

However, today, they had to meet! This was not only due to the circumstances, but also because Awei knew in his heart that avoidance was not the solution; what had to be faced would eventually have to be faced…

Glancing at the clock again, the hands had already aligned. It was exactly ten o'clock!

Awei withdrew his gaze, and as he turned towards the entrance of the hall, his heart suddenly raced, and he felt a rush of blood to his head.

What was coming had finally arrived!
