Just as Gu Yao was teaching Xu Shuo a harsh lesson with the heel of her shoe, in the president’s office of Jiangcheng Gene, Zhu Shengxi had also just ended a call, his expression cold. He sat quietly for a moment, one hand slowly tapping the armrest of his office chair. Then there was a knock at the door. It was Zhu Shengxi’s secretary. "President Zhu, President Gu is here." Zhu Shengxi froze, then quickly stood and strode to the door. "Where is he?" "The front desk just called. He’s…-

On the same day, Jin Zhizhong, known as Jin Ye, also returned to Jiangcheng from Licheng. As soon as Jin Zhizhong stepped into the office, his man handed him a folder. Jin Zhizhong took it, sent everyone out, then flopped onto the sofa and flipped through the folder a few times. Inside were several sheets of paper and a photo. The photo was a candid shot taken in secret, showing a young man in a suit, tall and well-built. Beside him stood none other than Zhang Ye, a well-known figure in…

At 1:00 p.m., Gu Yao arrived at Jiangcheng First Detention Center as agreed. She drove into the parking lot and looked out through the window at the surroundings. A strange sense of familiarity washed over her, and she knew she must have been here a year ago. Gu Yao got out of the car and stood by it, scanning the area, but she did not see Xu Shuo. She took out her phone and was about to contact him when a black sedan drove in from the entrance. The black car pulled up in front of Gu Yao, and…

"I want to read the third diary entry myself." After Gu Yao said that, she looked at Xu Shuo calmly, waiting for him to hand it over himself. Anyway, she had already taken the bait. He had no reason to keep pretending to be coy. Who would have thought that Xu Shuo would only smile faintly at her, the smile reaching his eyes, even the little hook at the corner of them showing. He looked strangely pleased. Gu Yao frowned unconsciously, a bad feeling rising in her chest. Then she saw him lie…

"All the stories are connected to them, and each one is more exciting than the last." Gu Yao clasped her hands together and tried hard to think over those words. She had to admit that the fact hit her hard. If Xu Shuo had suddenly run up to her a few days ago and told her all this, she would have thought he was crazy, that he was talking nonsense, and she would not have believed a single word. But now... Xu Shuo had laid so much groundwork in front of her, and every step had been tailored to…

Gu Yao narrowed her eyes, staring at Xu Shuo with an unpleasant expression. By her professional judgment, she had already formed a preliminary psychological profile of this man. That profile was based on his words, actions, demeanor, and manner of speech. Only a moment ago, Gu Yao had still categorized Xu Shuo as the type of person who was "meticulous," "clear-thinking," and "impenetrable." But by now, three words had suddenly shot through her mind and instantly drowned out all those rational…

Ten years later, Jiangcheng. After several hours of unconsciousness, Gu Yao finally broke free of the darkness, and when she did, she found herself lying on a large bed. For the next few minutes, her mind churned violently, her emotions surging up and down. She quickly realized the predicament she was in, and remembered everything that had happened before she lost consciousness. A trace of fear rose in her. Had she been kidnapped by that bastard with the surname Xu?! Unfortunately, Gu Yao's…

Ten years ago, in Jiangcheng. The explosion at the Du family home lit up the night sky. It was only when the sky was beginning to pale that the police finally wrapped up the scene. Before leaving, they found a charred corpse at the fire site. The body had been carbonized into powder, leaving only some bone fragments behind, which meant the temperature at the time had exceeded four digits. Aside from that, investigators also found several points of ignition and residue from accelerants. What…

The image on the photo disappeared. The tape recorder had also gone on strike. Xu Shuo's setup was extremely thorough, with every step carefully planned. He was absolutely an outstanding lawyer, whether in strategy or in method. But Gu Yao didn't panic. Things had already come to this, and the restlessness she had felt on the way here had been soothed the moment she stepped through this door. She even started to find it interesting. Even though she had been led step by step into the trap, it was a…

Gu Yao quickly found the floor where Ming Shuo Law Firm was located. She took the elevator upstairs and used those brief ten-odd seconds to calm herself down and prepare mentally. On the way over, she had already come up with a questioning strategy. Thanks to last night's exchange, she also had a preliminary understanding of the bastard named Xu Shuo. This was definitely not an ordinary man. Not only was he bold, he was also meticulous, good at talking, and extremely observant. He knew exactly how to…
