Chapter 194

Alan's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing a sudden jolt in Luo Fei's heart. Gu Changzheng, however, appeared calm and composed, as if he had long anticipated this outcome.

He gazed at Alan and asked slowly, "The killer Lou Zhen you described just now—you were actually referring to yourself, weren't you?" Alan raised her head, her gaze meeting Gu Changzheng's calmly as she admitted, "You are indeed very sharp to have guessed it."

Gu Changzheng smiled slightly and said, "The details you described were too specific; they don't sound like a scene that could be observed from outside the door at all." Alan gave a helpless, bitter smile: "In the end, I wasn't professional enough, and you actually found a flaw in such an oversight. The female lead that day was indeed me, but I didn't expect my mother, Lou Zhen, to meet that man. His name was Qin Yangming, once a prominent 'Qigong Master' and also the founder of the cult." Her voice was filled with disgust and anger.

Gu Changzheng silently closed his mouth, signaling for her to continue.

"That day, Lou Zhen was originally going to take me, but for some reason, she changed her mind at the last minute and swapped me with my sister, Lou Hongyi. Later, I found out that it was that scum's demand! He and Lou Zhen treated my sister and me like toys, manipulating us at will. That day, that scum acted as if he had taken stimulants, torturing me endlessly while spouting all sorts of disgusting things. Until he mentioned that next time he wanted the mother and all three daughters together... At that moment, I developed a fierce intent to kill him! So, I deliberately catered to him, suggesting we play some more stimulating games, never expecting him to fall for it. Then, what happened next occurred."

Gu Changzheng asked: "After you killed him, did Lou Zhen and Lou Hongyi know? How did you dispose of the body?"

Alan's expression remained calm, as if she were recounting something insignificant: "That was the first person I ever killed, and I was still very scared at the time. I didn't tell anyone about the body; I buried it in the vacant lot behind the house." Her tone was as light as if she had killed a bedbug.

Gu Changzheng continued to ask: "Why did you try to pin the blame for killing Qin Yangming on your mother, Lou Zhen, just now?"

A deep hatred flickered in Alan's eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "She doesn't deserve to be called a mother! My sister and I were bullied by that scum; she clearly knew, yet not only did she not stop it, she scolded us for being shameless and seducing men! She even took the initiative to provide him with opportunities! I just wanted her dead! How is she still qualified to be our mother!" Her voice trembled slightly with anger, filled with hatred and dissatisfaction toward Lou Zhen.

Luo Fei, who was recording on the side, was left dumbfounded by these unbelievable events, his worldview shattered! What kind of family was this, anyway?

Before his shock could settle, Alan continued her account.

"I killed that scum, and later I discovered that Lou Zhen seemed quite happy about it. Of course, at first, I just found it strange; that scum had disappeared, yet Lou Zhen wasn't worried at all, instead busy managing her church. Moreover, she clearly didn't want us sisters to stay by her side. I think, perhaps she was afraid we would compete with her for men!"

Alan chuckled lightly, "Actually, there was no need to compete at all; those men, once they saw me, not one could remain indifferent!" Speaking of this, she cast a complex sidelong glance at Gu Changzheng and sneered slightly: "My sister was more honest and was sent by her to various places to abduct children. At that time, Yan Kefei had just joined the church, and he quickly gained Lou Zhen's appreciation. She arranged for him to partner with my sister, while I was responsible for approaching those powerful and wealthy men..." The hatred on Alan's face grew heavier. She gritted her teeth tightly, her fingers interlaced deathly tight, and only after a long while did she continue: "Later, I gradually became numb, thinking that this was probably how my life would be. So I began to squander recklessly, buying all sorts of beautiful clothes, bags, and accessories, enjoying the best food and supplies, intending to just muddle through under Lou Zhen's control."

"But by chance, Yan Kefei met me. He didn't know that my sister and I were twins; at first, he must have mistaken me for my sister. Although we looked exactly the same, our temperaments were completely different. Logically, he should have noticed something strange after being in contact with me for a while, yet he showed no reaction. At that time, I still had a bit of childishness, and since Yan Kefei was indeed not unlikeable, I interacted with him under my sister's identity. But his next actions caught me off guard; he actually came over to hug me. At that time, I understood that he must have already had that kind of relationship with my sister. Originally, I wanted to reveal the fact that I wasn't Lou Hongyi, but under some strange impulse, I remained silent. Just as I was hesitating, he had already done what he wanted to do!"

Facing the two police officers with slightly awkward expressions, Alan revealed a bitter smile: "My true experience is this absurd, and the even more inconceivable part is yet to come. Do you still want to hear it?" Gu Changzheng's gaze was like a torch, staring fixedly into her eyes, and he said: "To us, the truth is of utmost importance. Please continue."

"During that period, Yan Kefei wandered between us sisters. My sister didn't know, and as for me, during that time I felt a secret thrill and pleasure. At first, I just held the mentality of playing around and hanging out with Yan Kefei, but later on, I felt that I couldn't live without him more and more!"

"At that time, I wanted to leave Diannan because I was afraid of hurting my sister! But once, after Yan Kefei and I were together, Yan Kefei told me that Lou Zhen knew about me killing Qin Yangming! I was shocked at the time! I hadn't told anyone; how could he know? What Yan Kefei said next made me feel like I had fallen into an ice cellar. He said that Lou Zhen had told him this, and the purpose, he thought, was to warn himself not to mess around with us sisters anymore, otherwise, Qin Yangming's fate might be a cautionary tale for me!"

"Wait!" Gu Changzheng suddenly interrupted: "Why am I getting more confused the more I listen! You mean..."

"Yes! I knew about the relationship between Yan Kefei and Lou Zhen, but I didn't care. As long as I was happy, it was fine. It just so happened that Yan Kefei could make me very happy!"

Gu Changzheng's expression was somewhat strange. He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately held back. He said slowly: "You continue!"

Alan glanced at him and continued: "Yan Kefei also told me that it was Lou Zhen's idea to leave me behind that time. She knew I had a stubborn temper, and that day she had even specifically given that scum some kind of drug in advance. Hmph, hmph! She really put a lot of effort into it! I knew these truths and was truly about to collapse! Although I knew Lou Zhen treated us as her tools, using us to earn money for him and to help her please the powerful and wealthy! But I didn't expect her to use me to kill!"

"Yan Kefei saw that I was almost having a mental breakdown. He said very painfully that he just couldn't bear to see me being kept in the dark, which was why he told me, and he also told me I must endure it, otherwise both he and I wouldn't survive!"
