Yan Qing's voice trembled slightly as he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "And then there’s me, our family was once so harmonious. I have a younger sister named Yan Qing, whose name is quite similar to mine."
"She was like a little angel, always around me, always wanting to play. But at that time, I found her childish and often made up excuses to avoid playing with her."
A gentle smile flickered across Yan Qing's face, but it was quickly replaced by pain.
"But one day, she suddenly disappeared. It was as if she had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace behind."
A glimmer of fear and anguish flashed in Yan Qing's eyes as he clenched his fists unconsciously. "Can you imagine that feeling? A loved one who was laughing beside you one day just vanishing without a trace the next."
"After that, my parents and I searched everywhere we could think of. We inquired everywhere, posted missing person notices, leaving no stone unturned in hopes of finding her."
Yan Qing's voice grew increasingly somber, each word seeming to be squeezed out through gritted teeth. "However, the police told us that she had been sold abroad by the leader of a criminal organization. That person..."
Yan Qing's body began to tremble violently as he suddenly reached out and gripped the edge of the table tightly, his strength so intense it seemed capable of crushing it. "That person is Nafiel Jenny, the public enemy of Ability User World, the one responsible for destroying my family!"
His roar echoed in the room, filled with endless hatred.
Jiang Ming's voice quivered as he spoke, his frail body shaking slightly like a leaf on the verge of falling in an autumn breeze.
He hesitantly asked, "I remember your parents were healthy at that time, and I even saw your sister visit the cabin in the woods. Why now...?"
Jiang Ming couldn't bring himself to utter the terrifying word "dead," fearing it would touch upon Yan Qing's deepest and most painful wound.
Yan Qing's expression darkened like the sky before a storm; it was difficult to describe. Perhaps it was the forced smile that looked so grotesque or the way his lips curled into a painful arc that seemed to hide endless suffering and hatred desperately trying to break free.
Since his sister's disappearance, his parents had been tirelessly searching for her. Their once healthy bodies gradually deteriorated over the long years of searching.
Every city and every place that might hold clues bore witness to their weary figures. But fate was cruel; after enduring such prolonged exhaustion, they were involved in a car accident while rushing to another location.
That merciless car came at them like a demon, ruthlessly crushing their lives. And the hit-and-run driver remains at large to this day.
Yan Qing had visited the police station countless times to inquire about the progress of the investigation, but all he received were vague responses that led nowhere. His sister's disappearance had already drained him of all strength, and now, with his parents facing such misfortune, his trust in the police had completely shattered.
In his eyes, the only thing he could rely on in this world was himself.
Yan Qing slowly lowered his head, his eyes flickering with a flame of anger and pain. He bit down hard on his molars, as if trying to release all his grief and fury through this act.
His tightly clenched fists turned white at the knuckles, veins bulging, as if he were protesting against fate or silently vowing to uncover the true culprit behind it all.
Jiang Ming watched Yan Qing in this state, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within him.
The once spirited youth he had first met was now suffocated by the weight of heavy suffering.
Memories of their first encounter flooded Jiang Ming's mind.
He had barely escaped from that hellish woman's laboratory, running blindly through the forest in a panic.
Whether it was luck or misfortune, he happened to stumble upon Yan Qing's cabin in the woods, where he was spending his summer vacation at the time.
During those few months, they fished by the creek, played in the woods, and watched the sun rise and set together.
It was the most stable, ordinary, and joyful time Jiang Ming had ever experienced since birth. He never imagined that such beautiful moments would be so fleeting and that Yan Qing's family would face such immense upheaval.
His parents had died in a car accident, and now his sister was missing. This series of disasters felt like an invisible net tightly ensnaring Yan Qing.
Jiang Ming's heart was filled with confusion. Who was stirring up trouble from behind? Why target Yan Qing's family?
At that time, Yan Qing was just an ordinary person; how could he suffer such misfortune?
"Ordinary person..." Jiang Ming murmured to himself when suddenly a warning bell seemed to ring loudly in his mind.
He recalled a terrifying thought, and cold sweat silently trickled down the back of his head.
He clearly remembered that at that time, there was still a chip from the Experimental Base inside his body. Although Yan Qing had taken him to the animal hospital to have it removed, he was uncertain whether the chip had already transmitted his location before it was extracted.
That woman from Madness might stop at nothing to retrieve such a successful specimen as him.
Perhaps it was because of him that Yan Qing's family was brought into this catastrophe.
Jiang Ming dared not think further. He didn't know how to explain everything to Yan Qing. Should he tell him that it was his friend who had brought such a tremendous disaster upon them? If he did, what would become of their friendship?
Jiang Ming silently lowered his head, his lips trembling slightly, yet he could not utter a word. He simply stood there in silence, as if an invisible mountain pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe.
On the other hand, after experiencing a storm of emotions, Yan Qing gradually calmed down.
He took a deep breath, easing his brow as if trying to temporarily suppress the pain and hatred within him.
He glanced at Jiang Ming, who sat silently beside him with a tense expression. In a voice that was weary yet feigned calmness, he said, "Alright, since I know you have no intention of obtaining our Zone Z's confidential information or harming humanity, I won't pry into your matters any further. However, regarding Klick, I hope you can provide Lin Ran and our group with a satisfactory explanation. At least by tomorrow before work starts, I expect an answer."
Hearing Yan Qing's gradually calming voice, Jiang Ming felt as if he had awakened from a nightmare. He mechanically nodded, as if agreeing with what was said, but his eyes still brimmed with guilt and unease.
The two of them shared adjacent rooms and spent the night awake, each lying in bed with their own thoughts.
