“When you chose the identity of a petty thug, you must have had this in mind, right? To be able to speak recklessly, to show your anger on your face without it seeming out of place.”
Clap, clap, clap…
“Brilliant, truly brilliant. If I weren’t the mastermind, I would be completely impressed.” Feng Qing smiled at her, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
“You didn’t refute me, so it seems I guessed right?”
Feng Qing shrugged, giving her an expression that seemed to confirm her suspicions.
“Now that I’ve answered your questions, please answer my last one. I still don’t understand what grudge we’ve held against you these past few days that would make you meticulously orchestrate such a scheme? I’ve asked others privately, and they don’t seem to know each other.”
This was something that had been troubling Bei Yutang, something she couldn’t figure out.
“You want to know?” The smile on Feng Qing’s face faded slightly.
“I know you won’t let me go. Before I die, I want to die knowing the truth, not in a state of confusion, not even knowing why I died.”
“Fine, I’ll grant your wish.” Feng Qing’s smile vanished completely.
His cold eyes flashed with a sharp light.
“You just said they didn’t know each other? Heh, how could they not know each other? They knew each other fifteen years ago.”
Fifteen years ago!
Bei Yutang was somewhat surprised. If it were fifteen years ago, the age and status of these people present would be very different. After all, how many fifteen-year periods does one have in a lifetime?
“Fifteen years ago, Yan Jin, that beast, was a recent college graduate working as a teacher at a middle school. At that time, he got involved with Gongsun Mingyue, a woman who ran a criminal gang. Gongsun Mingyue was the mistress of a gang leader who operated several shady businesses, one of which was prostitution.”
“To satisfy the perverted demands of some pedophiles, Gongsun Mingyue targeted innocent students. She approached Yan Jin, who also had pedophilic tendencies, and the two conspired to harm many students.”
“They were clever; they chose students who were left behind by migrant workers. These children, once threatened, wouldn’t dare tell their grandparents. These children became tools for these beasts to make money.”
Bei Yutang shuddered upon hearing this; she had more or less guessed what would happen next.
Feng Qing, seeing her expression, knew she had guessed.
“I have a younger sister, born of the same parents. Fifteen years ago, after our parents divorced, I left with my father. My mother raised my sister alone. At that time, I hated my mother; why didn’t she take me with her? I was young then, and with a grudge in my heart, I never contacted them.”
“Until five years ago, I learned from others that my sister and mother were dead. It was all those beasts’ fault; they killed my mother and sister.”
Feng Qing’s eyes turned bloodshot, a crazed, violent rage surging within them.
“They are—” Bei Yutang spoke, but was interrupted after only a few words.
“Do you know how they died?”
As Feng Qing spoke, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger.
“My mother didn’t remarry; instead, she went out to work, leaving my younger sister with my grandmother. Those beasts knew they wanted her, so they forced and threatened her, completely controlling her.”
