Chen Tian turned to look at Shi Yuhuan, “Boss, as expected, the person who reported Wancheng is connected to Yan Pingdan. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be investigating the lady. It seems like a group did this, what are they trying to hide?”
Shi Yuhuan narrowed his eyes coldly, staring at Liu Yuandong, “There’s another file, open it!”
Liu Yuandong replied anxiously, “Though we’ve copied this file, it’s encrypted with three different codes. It will take some time to crack them.”
Xia Yang cursed, annoyed, “Fuck, really? Even encrypted? This definitely hints at something fishy.”
“Crack the encryption as fast as you can!” Shi Yuhuan’s slow and low voice was without warmth but carried boundless authority.
Liu Yuandong immediately nodded, “Yes, Boss!”
Then, the long wait began once again.
This time, even though Shi Yuhuan’s gaze was as icy as before and his demeanor indifferent, his slender fingers rhythmically tapped slow beats on his leg.
The room was swallowed by silence once again, and time started slipping away slowly.
By the time Liu Yuandong managed to open the encrypted file, two to three hours had already passed.
There was no information inside, only a pile of photos, marked 1, 2, 3, 4. When Shi Yuhuan saw the photo of the ninth person, his deep, cold eyes widened abruptly, making him seem like a terrifying devil.
It was his father. His father… Shi Yuhuan stood up and looked at the tenth photo—it was of his mother. The eleventh was Yan Pingdan, followed by Tao Wenliang, Zhang Xiaoyi…
He had a horrifying premonition. Why was his father’s photo appearing here? Why were Yan Pingdan, Tao Wenliang, and Zhang Xiaoyi’s photos appearing here? And Song Qinghuan…
The last photo was of Song Qinghuan.
Shi Yuhuan frowned, trying to figure out the commonality amongst all these people, and why they appeared in the same file.
Wise and cunning individuals often overthink things, while simple-minded people tend to see the surface of matters more easily.
“Who are all the people in the first few photos? I don’t recognize them and they seem dated. Yan Pingdan, Tao Wenliang, and Zhang Xiaoyi are already dead. The lady is the last photo, what does that mean?”
Xia Yang, who was always straightforward, casually threw out a comment that abruptly made Shi Yuhuan realize something. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
His handsome face instantly changed color, his whole body stiffened!!
Images flashed before his eyes—he would never forget that day when a tall and fearsome man with a mask and a four-fingered, dark-spotted hand pointed a weapon at him. His father stepped in front to shield him.
The four-fingered man killed his father and then chased after him and his mother relentlessly.
His mother protected him at all costs, which is how they narrowly escaped.
In the wilderness, his mother clung to her last breath—he would never forget how he crawled on the ground as a ten-year-old, desperately crying and screaming for help despite his injuries. He screamed until his voice was hoarse, but no one heard his pleas…
All these scenes were the origin of his painful memories, ones he could never forget for a lifetime.
He had spent many years searching for the four-fingered man, but it was as if he had disappeared into thin air.
He hadn’t expected the sudden appearance of this clue. He was almost certain that the owner of this document was the four-fingered man.
The photos in this file… he likely stored a photo every time he planned to kill someone, so…
