"Yes, it's an underground trade fair." Eric nodded in response. Siles noticed his casual attitude and asked, "I feel—this trade fair doesn't seem to be," he carefully chose his words, "secret?" Eric looked at Siles with some confusion, then suddenly understood. "It's like this, Siles. This is a semi-public trade fair. After the rainy season, some merchants returning from the Ashless Lands will sell some miscellaneous goods. "These goods are, of course, legal, so selling them at the trade fair…-

"The Queen of Heaven, Mazu." Ji Xun chewed on these words slowly between his teeth. He didn't speak, and neither did Meng Fushan. A condensed, icy current swirled in the space between them. Ji Yu’s death was the strongest bond connecting them. As time passed, this unshakable link extended into even more points of leverage and balance—such as the suspicion surrounding Meng Fushan's involvement in Chen Jiashu's death, or the suspicion surrounding Ji Xun's involvement in An Jie's…-

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat strange. Ji Xun wanted to refute what Huo Ranyin had just said, but felt it didn't seem to be the main point right now. He rubbed his temples and negotiated with the two who were still locked in combat: "In short, can you guys stop first?" No one paid him any mind. Meng Fushan and Huo Ranyin remained locked onto each other, searching for weaknesses in the other to subdue them in a single blow. A friend's friend doesn't equal a friend; a lover's friend,…

It was Ji Xun’s turn to look ahead. The pine and cypress trees flanking the cemetery stood as straight as guards, but the posture Huo Ranyin held was even straighter than the trees themselves. People who endure a harsh childhood, if they are lucky enough to grow up, almost inevitably veer toward one of two extremes: they either become those people, or they conquer them. "Ranyin’s parents died in a gas poisoning incident." Ji Xun looked at Huo Ranyin, but addressed Yu Cisheng. "At the time of…

"Sent by Meng Fushan?" Huo Ranyin asked. "No idea. It's an overseas number, so it's mostly a scam..." Ji Xun said sluggishly. Huo Ranyin cast a sidelong glance at Ji Xun. "Alright, all joking aside," Ji Xun said. "But does an anonymous text necessarily mean it was sent by Meng Fushan? There's no logical basis for that either." "The text mentioned Chen Jiashu," Huo Ranyin pointed out. "Meng Fushan certainly knows about Chen Jiashu," Ji Xun shrugged. "But Chen Jiashu isn't exactly some…

Ji Xun sighed at the endless expanse of the ocean for a good while before starting to think of a solution. Problems were bound to occur; finding ways to solve them was the absolute top priority to push things forward. As for why he was so eager to get up there: there was something wrong with the food he had eaten last night—it had likely been spiked with a hallucinogen of some sort. If that spiked food was possibly ordered by Mr. Liu to liven up the atmosphere, then once Ji Xun woke up today, went…

Huo Ranyin made a trip to the village behind Juanshan in person, located the trash collection station, and met with its owner. The rest of the task didn't require much effort. He presented his police credentials, and the owner, having no intention of colluding with suspicious elements to deceive an officer, quickly related what had happened at the time. The person who had paid the money to retrieve the letter was indeed, undeniably, Ji Xun. But who was the one who had left the letter there in the…

The day after moving into their new home happened to be the day for their follow-up appointment at the hospital to have their dressings changed. The doctor in Ning City examined their wounds for a long time before offering advice for each. For Huo Ranyin: "Keep the dressings changed regularly and take care of yourself. You can exert force in moderation, but don’t force it." The implication was that the recovery was going well; proceed step-by-step, and there would be no problems. Ji Xun asked…

Two people to a room, and only one can survive. Would you choose to kill the other person? This was the question Chi Qing had pondered over and over again on countless nights. Seven days. It was enough to change a person. Chi Qing clearly remembered that the bespectacled boy sharing his room—"Glasses"—could only tremble on the very first day. Just like when he had first arrived, he huddled in the corner, his voice shaking as he asked, "What do we do..." He was on the verge of crying…-

It was time to get off work. In the WeChat group on his phone, a message notification chimed. The sender was Tan Mingjiu. He @-ed all members in the WeChat group: "Hello everyone, I went to talk to Sun Hongfa again. Guess what?" Sun Hongfa was the knife-wielder from the previous kidnapping case who was about to chop Ji Xun. Tan Mingjiu didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "Found something new. In his phone, there's contact information for Zhu Huan. Although I haven't seen any chat history…
