Yuan Ye's anticipated response evaporated, leaving behind a cold, final remark: "In my lifetime, I believe I have never committed any heinous acts, yet what have I gained?"
Ziya felt an overwhelming chill as Liu forcibly dragged her to the edge of the building. She looked down and felt dizzy... What were those small dots below? They were moving and looking up at her. She could even see them with her phone.
Anqing and Liu Haoming were settled in another room by the police. Their hearts felt heavy and desolate; they couldn't muster any spirit. After enduring blow after blow, this time it was clear that the situation was dire. Their eyes met, filled with despair and helplessness, silently praying for a miracle that their daughter would appear safe and sound, running into their embrace.
"Aunt Liu, I want to see my parents," Ziya suddenly exclaimed as she caught a glimpse of a glimmering point from another arched window. It reminded her of the time Lao Ran had taken her hostage. That glimmer was undoubtedly the light from a sniper's scope aimed at her. But at this moment on the sixteenth floor, unless a miracle occurred, her chances of survival were almost zero.
"What are you looking at, you little brat? Trying to pull a trick? Hahaha! Aunt Bao is off to paradise!" Liu laughed maniacally, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light as he violently pushed Ziya down, then leaped after her...
"Ah..." Below, people watched in horror as two figures fell like leaves, and they couldn't help but scream. Sun Meng and Liang Chao were teary-eyed, unsure whether to run northeast or west... Each person's heart raced as if it might leap out of their mouths.
Ziya knew she was about to meet a bloody end. The wind howled past her ears, stinging her cheeks as tears streamed down, blown away into fragments... She realized she was going to die; suddenly, an endless dark corridor appeared in her mind... A woman's weeping echoed... You betrayed me... Help me... The deafening roar of a concrete mixer pierced through her eardrums... The dark cement swirled like a kaleidoscope... Another person fell alongside her into the abyss... Suddenly, a pair of icy hands tightly grasped her.
Ziya closed her eyes and continued to fall; those cold yet somewhat warm hands caught her. She saw Zhou Chen... and someone struggling desperately below.
Time seemed to freeze... People on the ground saw Liu descending at a speed several times faster than Ziya's... Ziya seemed to be intercepted by an outstretched branch from the air, pausing momentarily...
Ziya felt the cement continuing to pour down like an avalanche... A pair of hands reached desperately upwards until the cement completely covered her... Ziya fell with a thud onto the air mattress laid out by the police; the air pushed her back up before she crashed down again heavily... Liu tragically landed in an unpadded area and was already bleeding profusely.
People rushed towards Ziya on the air mattress. Anqing and Liu Haoming's legs felt weak and powerless as they stumbled forward, unable to face their daughter lying motionless on the mattress after bouncing back... An ambulance wailed as it took away unconscious Ziya, carrying with it the anxious hearts of those left behind... Sun Meng kept looking up at the top of the building, staring for a long time at the fleeting shadow that vanished near the window.
Liu's body was taken away; his blood seeped into the cracks of the tiles. Workers cleaned the floor several times but could not remove the stains that had penetrated deep into the gaps. Yuan Ye had no choice but to hire some temporary workers outside to replace that large section of tiles. However, when they lifted up the tiles, something connected to a ring of cement was pulled out along with them.
This unusual situation piqued Yuan Ye's curiosity. "You all keep digging to see what’s underneath," he said as he walked toward the office. Just then, his phone buzzed with a pleasant notification sound.
Before Yuan Ye could check it, someone shouted, "Yuan, come take a look!" Hearing the urgency in the voice, he knew something serious had happened and hurried over to where the tiles had been removed.
Police lights flashed blue and white as they stopped at the entrance of the building. A complete female corpse was unearthed in the courtyard, her bent body forming a U-shape. Her face showed an expression of terror, mouth agape, and her eye sockets were filled with cement, making her eyeballs nearly invisible. Her legs were broken at the knees, and her already decayed skirt crumbled at a light touch. Her fingers, embedded in the cement, were curled tightly around a mobile phone. On the screen of the phone, a few words could be faintly seen, sending chills through those present.
The missing Duan Xiulan was finally found beneath the cement floor that had once been poured for the building's foundation. Her eye sockets held the shadow of Luo Daoming... Luo Daoming was a relative of security guard Zhang Maocai, who had shamelessly pursued Duan Xiulan after having his way with her... only to then start an affair with Duan Xiuying.
Duan Xiuying had endured nights of nightmares and the guilt from betraying her family... compounded by witnessing Luo Daoming's death... leading to severe mental instability... which transformed into schizophrenia.
The police car sped away with the female corpse to the public security bureau for computer reconstruction to restore her original appearance. It was only then that Yuan Ye remembered he had also received a text message earlier; he quickly pulled out his phone to check it... Suddenly, a figure rushed toward him with alarming speed, and a cold dagger plunged into Yuan Ye's abdomen.
Just moments before seeing the words on his phone screen, Yuan Ye was jolted awake by a sharp pain. He looked down at the knife handle protruding from his stomach and gazed in confusion at his assailant. "Why...?" The attacker was Xu Ziming, Liu's husband. He had been stalking his wife and spying on her every move. After Zhang Maocai's death, he tracked down Yuan Ye instead... This was Xu Ziming's confession after killing Yuan Ye when he turned himself in at the police station.
A miracle emerged amidst the swirling rumors: a girl who had fallen from a high building still showed a faint sign of life... In the hospital, Ziya had been in a coma for one month and eight days. As various medical devices emitted different sounds, that flicker of life drew many concerned gazes.
Everyone silently prayed for this sleeping girl to regain her strength; her story still awaited continuation. Sun Meng would tell her every day about their breakthroughs in the building. But she would also quietly share an incredible secret with Ziya... because Ziya had once told her to write a book about it... all the secrets would be revealed in Volume Two. Volume Two
