Chapter 17: I’ve Been Missing for Over 48 Hours
“Forget it. Anyway, you don’t deserve it.” Fu Mingyu shook off my arm and turned to leave.
I ignored him; Fu Mingyu is always losing his temper.
I walked into the bedroom, sorting and preparing things for my trip abroad.
Just two months. It will pass quickly.
Soon, I would be free.
……
At that time, I naively thought that as long as I managed to go abroad in two months, everything would be over.
I never expected that I would still end up dying at Fu Mingyu’s hands.
This must be fate.
My life was saved by Fu Mingyu and also ended by him.
This life ends here, with no more debts to each other.
The rumble of thunder brought my thoughts back.
I slapped myself awake, feeling no pain, and realized that I was already dead.
No more living in pain and torment.
The police car arrived and took the unconscious A Xing away.
Liu Bin was also taken away by the ambulance.
“Mr. Fu, has there been any news about your sister?” Lu Zhe asked, stepping down from the police car.
Fu Mingyu frowned. “She can’t hide for long.”
Lu Zhe remained silent and bent down to pick up the photo on the ground.
It was a photo of me, taken by Fu Mingyu to show A Xing, a three-inch passport photo I had prepared for studying abroad.
Lu Zhe looked at the photo of me, paused, and frowned as if deep in thought.
We had met before; Lu Zhe should be recalling that.
“Two months ago, was your sister molested at the entrance of Nightfall Bar?” Lu Zhe, being a detective, had a good memory.
Fu Mingyu hesitated, as if recalling. “Yes… there was such an incident.”
Lu Zhe looked up at Fu Mingyu. “The Fu family is a prominent figure in Haicheng. Your sister shouldn’t need to engage in such activities, right?”
Fu Mingyu was somewhat displeased. “Officer Lu, Cheng Xi is not the kind of person you think.”
I let out a sarcastic laugh. He wasn’t protecting my reputation but the Fu family’s.
“Sorry, I misunderstood.” Lu Zhe shook the photo. “This photo is clearer and more direct than the artistic ones you provided. I’ll take it with me. If there’s any news about your sister, I’ll let you know.”
Fu Mingyu got into the car and left. Lu Zhe said gravely, “Investigate the molestation case from two months ago at Nightfall Bar to see if it’s related to this case.”
“Zhe Ge, do you suspect Cheng Xi was already targeted by someone?”
“The murderer has killed every victim who frequently visited Nightfall Bar, leading a chaotic and luxurious private life,” Lu Zhe nodded.
I followed Lu Zhe, unable to say anything.
Whatever I said, he wouldn’t hear.
I could only hope he would uncover the truth quickly and bring the murderer to justice.
“Zhe Ge!” Outside the abandoned orphanage, Lu Zhe’s colleague came running from the car. “You asked me to check the relationship between Cheng Xi and Fu Mingyu. I found that they are not biological siblings. Cheng Xi is an adopted daughter of the Fu family and has no blood relation to Fu Mingyu, and she is also engaged.”
Lu Zhe frowned, clearly surprised by the complexity of the relationship between Fu Mingyu and me.
“Fu Mingyu’s publicly known girlfriend is a woman named Bai Yuan, and he is insistent on breaking off the engagement with Cheng Xi to marry Bai Yuan.”
The efficiency of the police was indeed high; they found this out so quickly.
I stood by, feeling little emotion.
“Fu Mingyu’s friends said that before Cheng Xi went missing, Bai Yuan was targeted by the murderer on her way home from Nightfall Bar. But Bai Yuan was afraid of retaliation and didn’t dare to report it. Instead, she… chose to let Cheng Xi take her place and go near Nightfall Bar,” the police said, visibly angered.
Even an outsider would find this absurd, yet Fu Mingyu forced me… and promised to protect me.
I laughed ironically. Standing as an observer, hearing others analyze my death, I found it amusing.
Lu Zhe’s expression darkened as he checked the time. “Cheng Xi has been missing for over 48 hours. Immediately set up a special task force, apply for a search warrant, and take Fu Mingyu and his foolish friends into custody. Leave no one behind!”
I looked up in shock, staring at Lu Zhe. He was going to arrest Fu Mingyu? Did he suspect Fu Mingyu was the murderer?
“It wasn’t Fu Mingyu, it was A Xing.” I desperately tried to explain to the police. I wasn’t trying to clear Fu Mingyu’s name; I was afraid the murderer might continue to commit crimes.
