Xu Jing chuckled lightly, "Because I want to see those who have harmed me die one by one, while I am still alive."
Zhou Qi remained silent.
Xu Jing looked at him, "It's normal for you not to like a monster like me who has no human emotions."
Zhou Qi stayed quiet.
Xu Jing stood up and walked to the entrance to change her shoes.
She straightened up and smiled at Zhou Qi, "I'm leaving now, bye."
Zhou Qi sat on the sofa, staring intently at the television screen.
It wasn't until Xu Jing left that he withdrew his gaze, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.
"It's me. Help me look up a person; I want all the information from birth to now, especially her life before she turned fifteen... Yes, check it right away; I need it fast!"
Zhou Qi hung up the phone, feeling restless.
He didn't know if Xu Jing was telling the truth, but he had indeed seen a monster without human emotions.
That person was his mother.
After his mother's death, Zhou Qi secretly investigated her.
Only then did he realize that everything his mother did was for revenge against his father.
And her reason for revenge was simple—
His father did not love her.
What a ridiculous reason.
Zhou Qi had always thought of his mother as someone devoid of feelings; she didn't deserve to be a mother.
So he hated her.
But just now, when Xu Jing said those words to him, something tugged at his heart, causing a dull pain.
Zhou Qi anxiously awaited news.
He doubted Xu Jing's words but was also afraid that what she said was true.
If it were true, then she...
Zhou Qi shook his head, forcing himself not to think about it.
Two hours later, his phone rang.
Zhou Qi immediately answered the call, "Do you have results?"
"Yes," the other party replied, "Xu Jing, from Min City, was abducted by human traffickers at five years old. The traffickers raised her until she was fourteen and abused her in various ways during that time; they even forced her into prostitution..."
"Wait," Zhou Qi interrupted, "say that again."
The other party said, "I said Xu Jing was abducted by traffickers, abused, and forced into prostitution."
Zhou Qi fell silent.
The other party continued, "The traffickers are drug dealers with many young girls under their control; they live a nomadic life without a fixed residence, so it's a bit difficult to investigate."
Zhou Qi remained silent again.
The other party asked, "Do you want to continue investigating?"
Zhou Qi replied in a deep voice, "Continue."
"Okay."
Xu Jing knew that Zhou Qi would definitely investigate her. So she took the initiative to speak out, intending to draw all of Zhou Qi's attention to herself. She revealed her experiences not to gain sympathy, but to turn Zhou Qiang's homosexuality into a family scandal. Only in this way could the Zhou family lose face in front of the entire nation. Xu Jing even thought that if handled well, this could make international headlines.
Zhou Qi had no choice but to accept.
For three consecutive days, Zhou Qi did not contact Xu Jing. Xu Jing was pleased with the peace and busied herself packing her bags while searching for a house in Yun City. Zhou Qiang's job transfer was already on the agenda, and they would be moving to Yun City at the latest next month.
When Zhou Wenguang learned of this news, he immediately called Xu Jing over.
"Xiao Jing, is Qiang really going to Yun City?"
Xu Jing nodded, "Yes."
Zhou Wenguang's expression turned serious, "What do you think made him suddenly decide to go to Yun City? Isn't it good in Min City?"
Xu Jing smiled slightly, "Dad, Qiang didn't decide to go suddenly; it was a well-considered decision."
Zhou Wenguang: "..."
Xu Jing continued, "I support his decision. Wherever he wants to go, I will accompany him."
Zhou Wenguang's face grew darker. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Xiao Jing, please try to persuade Qiang not to go to Yun City. Just stay in Min City, okay?"
Xu Jing shook her head, "Dad, Qiang is not a child anymore; he has his own ideas."
Zhou Wenguang's expression changed: "You are his wife; he will definitely listen to you."
Xu Jing still shook her head, "Dad, once Qiang has made a decision, no one can change it, including me."
Zhou Wenguang stared at her: "Can't you at least try?"
Xu Jing met his gaze: "Dad, why don't you want Qiang to go to Yun City?"
Zhou Wenguang: "..."
Xu Jing continued, "Is it because you worked in Yun City when you were young and found it dangerous? You are worried about Qiang's safety, right?"
Zhou Wenguang: "..."
Xu Jing smiled slightly: "Dad, Qiang is your son; I understand that you care about him. However..."
Her tone grew colder: " Qiang is also my husband, and I care about him. Therefore, I won't persuade him to go to a place he doesn't want to go; I will only accompany him to the places he wants to go."
Zhou Wenguang's face turned ashen, gritting his teeth: "Good, good, you all have grown wings and dare to defy me now, huh?"
Xu Jing said calmly: "Dad, do you have any other instructions? If not, I'll leave first."
Zhou Wenguang: "..."
Xu Jing turned and walked out.
After taking a few steps, Zhou Wenguang suddenly called out to her again.
"Xiao Jing," Zhou Wenguang said softly, "even if I beg you, please help Dad and persuade Qiang not to go to Yun City. Even switching to a non-first-tier job would be fine."
Xu Jing: "..."
Zhou Wenguang looked at her: "Even if Dad owes you a favor, is that okay?"
Xu Jing: "..."
...
Xu Jing left Zhou Wenguang's study and was about to return to her room when she suddenly saw Zhou Qi walking towards her.
Xu Jing stopped in her tracks and stared at him.
Zhou Qi's expression was grim as he walked straight into Zhou Wenguang's study.
Xu Jing felt uneasy and turned back.
She stood outside the door and heard Zhou Qi questioning Zhou Wenguang: "Where did you hide Mom's ashes?"
Xu Jing: "..."
After Li Xue's death, Zhou Qi wanted to bury her ashes in the Li Family's private cemetery, but Zhou Wenguang disagreed.
Because doing so would mean telling everyone that Li Xue's death was related to the Zhou family.
So Zhou Wenguang refused to give Li Xue's ashes to Zhou Qi.
And Zhou Qi was also adamant about not giving Li Xue's ashes to Zhou Wenguang.
Thus, Li Xue's ashes remained with Zhou Qi and had not been buried.
Now that it was almost a hundred days since Li Xue passed away, Zhou Qi planned to bury her but found that the ashes were missing.
Xu Jing understood that Zhou Qi was frantic.
