After getting married, Mao Deming's mother had no children for several years. Under pressure from her mother-in-law and husband, she reluctantly adopted a four-year-old girl. This girl was the child of a couple from another region who had come here to escape the family planning policy.
Little did they know that less than six months after the girl arrived at the Mao family, she became pregnant. From then on, her treatment in the Mao household deteriorated. After the Mao Family Daughter-in-Law successfully gave birth to a pair of twin boys, the girl became a thorn in their side.
When the Mao Family Daughter-in-Law had her second child, the girl could no longer endure the abuse and secretly ran away. She was taken in by a kind-hearted person, but deep inside her heart, she harbored a shadow of hatred—she hated her parents and the Mao family.
However, as time passed, the girl grew up, got married, and had two sons named Liang Bo and Liang Chao.
Although the Mao family was large and prosperous, they were unaware of the misfortune that had befallen them across generations. The terrifying lymphoma quietly targeted them. The head of the Mao family died from lymphoma, and shortly thereafter, his mother fell ill and passed away. Before her death, she repeatedly urged him to find the daughter they had once adopted and insisted that he treat her as if she were his own sister.
When Mao Deming finally found this sister, he discovered that she had two healthy sons, which brought him great joy. He took care of his sister's family and gave his brother-in-law some money to start a business.
In her later years, Liang Bo's mother found support from this non-blood brother, which naturally eased her resentment. The two families began to bond as if they were related. However, this good fortune did not last long; Mao Deming's twin brother also unfortunately contracted lymphoma. Mao Deming tried every possible means to save his brother's life.
"Uh... I see now. He is the brother who died during that incident with the raccoon in middle school, right? That would be you, Mao Deming?" Ziya suddenly realized after listening to the story.
"Yes, that's right. So this photo is an original picture of that masked man himself. We need your confirmation from all three of you before we can proceed with our work."
Zhiqing smiled wryly; he never expected that after so many years, they would still hold a grudge. Liang Chao must have also been involved in harming Sun Meng during that incident.
"Then it seems that the baby incident in Liang Chao and Sun Meng's house must have been orchestrated by Liang Chao," Zhiqing said gloomily. Ziya was taken aback by this revelation and turned to look at the newcomer, eager to understand more about it.
"Yes, what you mentioned refers to an incident involving a eunuch that happened a year ago. We have filed a case regarding it. After investigation, we confirmed one thing: the baby found in the wall was indeed placed there by the homeowner himself. He consulted a sorcerer who claimed that placing a baby in the wall would ensure peace for the family and bring wealth throughout the seasons—nonsense like that."
"Could it be the original owner?" Zhiqing asked, looking at the documents in the other person's hand.
"Uh... the owner's name is Liang Chao, who died during his wife's mental breakdown."
Ziya silently thought to herself: this truly reflects the saying that justice prevails and retribution is inevitable; one cannot escape the consequences of their own actions. But this was a misfortune for Sun Meng, who still held onto memories of Liang Chao. There was no need to dwell on the deceased; let Liang Chao remain a good person in Sun Meng's heart forever.
"Alright, since you all have identified Mao Deming as the mastermind behind this incident, we will investigate from the side to uncover the source of the entire event, allowing the deceased to rest in peace and ensuring that the wrongdoers receive their due punishment." The newcomer felt anger rise within at the thought of Liang Bo's arrogant demeanor but maintained a calm facade, giving a faint smile to Ziya and Zhiqing before exiting the hospital room.
After seeing off the visitor, Ziya turned back, her eyes sparkling with a gentle warmth swelling in her heart. She walked gracefully to Zhiqing's bedside, took his hand and placed it against her cheek, gazing at him tenderly.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, they would still hold a grudge. They not only destroyed the Mao Family but also ruined the Liang Family," Zhiqing said with a tone of regret.
"Don't think too much about it; such people are not worthy of sympathy. Just consider what they did..." Ziya wiped away the beads of sweat forming on Zhiqing's forehead with a tissue, her voice sorrowful as she recounted their classmates who had died in the underground levels.
"This person's heart is truly sinister and ruthless. What I don't understand is why they targeted only those few classmates?" Zhiqing fell into deep thought.
"You mentioning that reminds me. I recall that when his brother was burned to death by heavenly fire, several classmates were present. They spat and said he deserved it. Yes, among those present were Yang Xianju, Xiao Ranhong, and Chen Lunxiu. Li Mao and Liu Yi weren't our classmates, right? And there was also Zeng Qin," Ziya said, her brows furrowed with questions that were difficult to comprehend.
"I don't know about Li Mao and Liu Yi, but I know Zeng Qin; she's a nurse at Town Hospital. Could it be that she witnessed Mao Deming doing something bad and thus brought about her own demise?" Zhiqing leaned forward slightly while frowning, adjusting his arm that was receiving an IV drip, seemingly uncomfortable due to some soreness from it.
"Does it hurt?" Ziya quickly jumped off the bed, intending to fetch a warm towel for him.
"It's nothing; look how anxious you've become." As they were talking, a man's face appeared at the glass of the hospital room door, followed by a series of knocks.
The hospital door creaked open, revealing a rather scruffy-looking man with a sharp face and a somewhat lewd demeanor.
"Ha ha, little brother, how are you?" The newcomer held out a basket of fresh flowers to Ziya and shouted loudly at Zhiqing. Despite his small stature, his voice rang out like a drum.
"Oh! Brother Xu, what brings you here?" Zhiqing replied with a wry smile, struggling to move due to the IV lines restricting her arms and legs.
Ziya stifled a laugh upon seeing the man's unimpressive appearance. Initially harboring no fondness for him, she quickly understood his identity when Zhiqing referred to him as Brother Xu—none other than Xu Bansian.
"Don't be so polite! As the saying goes, we are in the same boat; it's fate that brought us together! Ha ha ha..." Xu Bansian laughed heartily before turning his gaze to Ziya. "Little brother, you’re lucky! You've got your hands on a stunning beauty who could bring chaos to the world. When are you going to treat me to a drink?"
"Cough cough... Brother Xu, she doesn't appreciate jokes. How can you say she brings chaos?" Zhiqing's expression darkened as she hurriedly interrupted him.
"No worries, you two chat. I'm going to check on Sun Meng," Ziya said, her face flushed with embarrassment as she stepped out of the hospital room.
"Look at me and my big mouth; don’t hold it against me, brother," Xu Bansian said regretfully, glancing at the closed door.
"It's fine; she won't be upset. I should go check on Sun Meng too," Zhiqing replied generously.
"Today, I came to tell you something important," Xu Bansian suddenly said with a serious tone.
