Chapter 226

"Why? Why do you think it was Zhang Zhiyuan who said it? Do you have some kind of deal with him?" Gu Changzheng asked.

Xiao Hai realized he had said the wrong thing and kept his mouth shut.

Gu Changzheng smiled and said, "Xiao Hai, Lou Zhen has a blood relationship with you and raised you for over ten years. How could you bring yourself to do it?"

It was a simple question, but Xiao Hai reacted strongly. His eyes were filled with resentment: "You all think she raised me, but no one has ever thought that I lost my mother when I was young. I had a father, but he didn't know I existed. What's more ironic is that I even helped her harm my own father! She raised me, nothing more than to make me destroy my own father with my own hands! Her heart is too vicious. It's not enough that she harmed her own biological daughter to death, she even wanted me, her own grandson, to live in the nightmare of having killed my own father for the rest of my life!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hai's face was already ferocious, the veins on his pale face bulging. His handsome little face looked like an evil ghost: "If I hadn't accidentally found out about my parents' situation, I would have killed my own father with my own hands. That would have been the moment I fell into hell and began to suffer!"

"Oh? How did you know about those past secrets?" Gu Changzheng felt this matter wasn't simple. Could there be someone else behind it?

Xiao Hai grinned, his smile bleak and desolate, "Who told me doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I have no more attachments in this world! Hahaha!"

"You are only 16! Your life has just begun! Is this worth it?" Gu Changzheng finally spoke his inner thoughts. Only now did he realize that he had always had a sense of sympathy for Xiao Hai.

"What? You pity me?" The depths of Xiao Hai's eyes were like a bottomless abyss. He sneered, "The education I received since childhood didn't include sympathy or pity! On the surface, I was raised by my grandmother, and she was always the one supporting me, but who knew, when I wasn't even as tall as the back of this chair, children my age were all carrying school bags to school, but I had to stay in that broken place all day! Day after day, year after year, I couldn't see a future at all!"

"Grandmother brainwashed me, saying she would teach me skills. I asked her when she would teach me, but she said she had very important things to do now, and she would teach me when I grew a little older!"

"Hehe!" Xiao Hai laughed at himself, "I believed it at the time and just waited foolishly for her to teach me. It was Uncle Zhang who often came to see me and taught me how to read and do arithmetic; otherwise, I would have really been raised as an illiterate by her! During that time, Uncle Zhang became the only light in my life, and only when I was with him did I feel happy!"

"But, but one day, I was guarding the small supermarket as usual, and Uncle Zhang came again. But this time, he didn't look at me with a smile as usual; instead, he looked at me with a look of disgust, and he had a strong smell of alcohol on him! I didn't know what had happened, I just felt that Uncle Zhang had become so scary! At this time, he grabbed my hand and started talking. At first, he talked about some 'Divine Sect', 'Divine Envoy', and 'being buried alive', none of which I could understand. Later, he seemed to cry, saying something about how he had given his whole life to you, but you were still like that! Later, I slowly understood that it was because Uncle Zhang had bumped into Grandmother being with another man, so he was very angry."

"He pointed at me and said, 'You Lou family people, none of you are good things, you are all disasters! Shameless!' But just as he was cursing, Grandmother came back! Looking at Grandmother's expression, she should have known why Uncle Zhang was like this. Hearing him curse like that, she didn't get angry, just walked to his side, and I don't know what she said, but Uncle Zhang followed her into the inner room..."

"At that time, I knew that no man could escape Grandmother's grasp. Perhaps, perhaps only her daughter, my mother, would be stronger than her, but that woman had already been turned into a pile of white bones by her!"

Gu Changzheng interrupted him and asked, "When did you know that the white bones were your mother Lou Hongyi's?" He guessed that it was Xiao Hai who had written with the peyote extract in the basement, but he certainly wouldn't have known at first that the bones there were his mother's.

"A woman!" Xiao Hai said through gritted teeth, "A woman who gave me a very strange feeling!" Speaking of this, a complex expression appeared on his face—confusion, anger, sadness, and it seemed there was even a trace of warmth...

Gu Changzheng shook his head, listening intently to his subsequent words. A woman? Who could it be? Could it be her?

Xiao Hai's narrative continued: "A woman who gave me a very strange feeling. To be honest, I have no impression of my mother's appearance, only a feeling—that sense of intimacy connected by blood! From that woman, I felt it. Although it was only a faint trace, that feeling was too similar to the feeling of my mother I thought of when I was awake and dreamed of in my sleep!"

At this moment, Gu Changzheng could even be certain that the woman Xiao Hai spoke of was Lou Hongyi's twin sister—A-Lan!

"That woman told me many things I didn't know, including! Who those white bones belonged to?"

"Did you never have any doubts about her words?" Gu Changzheng asked.

"Heh!" Xiao Hai raised his head, "Should I have doubted her? I never thought about it!" He laughed, "Why didn't I think about it?"

"My whole life has been used; I was just a tool. But she let me know what my mother looked like, made the vague shadow in my heart clear, gave my sustenance a home, and more importantly, she gave me hope—I knew who my father was!"

"Have you seen him?" Gu Changzheng asked, naturally referring to his so-called father—Yan Kefei.

"Hmph! But Lou Zhen completely ruined everything! She ruined my mother, ruined my father, and ruined my whole life! So she had to die!" Xiao Hai roared hysterically.

"Don't you want to know how she died? I! I had just found hope, but I was thrown into hell by her again! So, I had to kill her!"

"I knew Zhang Zhiyuan also hated Lou Zhen because Lou Zhen made him not like a normal person! She seduced his father, but then, hehe! And I knew about his affair with the woman at Tianyang Hotel, so I proposed using Huang Li's work convenience to steal the keys to the fire escape and the elevator to the rooftop. As for the use, he could make it up himself, but to lure her to the hotel, there had to be a reason she couldn't refuse."

"What reason was most suitable?" Xiao Hai gave an evil smile, "Naturally, the man she couldn't do without! Of course, as for who that man was, we had already selected a candidate. Yes! It was Chen Junyang. As for why, I don't think I need to tell you, right?"

"As for the rest, you all know. I naturally know Chen Junyang, and as for his appearance at the small supermarket, it was just an accident. This made it even more reasonable for me to provide you with clues about him as a suspect. But even if he hadn't appeared at the supermarket, I would have had a way to get him into your sights!"

"Later, everything went smoothly, but I was still very merciful. Before sending her off, I let her enjoy herself for a bit! Hahaha! That letter was written by Zhang Zhiyuan using the peyote toxin I gave him. After Lou Zhen jumped as we wished, I used the opportunity of helping Zhang Zhiyuan clean up the letter fragments to place the 'suicide note' I had prepared in advance at the scene."

"The purpose was to prevent the police from really thinking Lou Zhen committed suicide; that wouldn't have been fun!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Hai looked at Gu Changzheng and laughed, "Alright! Everything is over! Those who deserved to die are all dead! Hahaha!"
