Chapter 67

"Until now, I can only sing in bars. Besides dealing with the harassment from those disgusting men, I have achieved nothing in any other aspect."

"So don't look down on me either, because as long as I'm willing to give myself away, there are too many men willing to support me."

Hearing He He say this.

Ning Chen only found it ridiculous.

In this world, truly, there is nothing strange that doesn't happen.

He He continued speaking:

"If it weren't for that woman's discrimination back then hurting my self-esteem, I wouldn't be so obsessed with music."

"She thought that girl born to her and another man was ten thousand times more important than me, and thought that me fiddling with music all day was just not doing my duty."

"So after I dropped out of school at twenty, I sent her a message specifically to report this good news to her."

"It's just a pity I ultimately didn't get to see the look on her face as she died of anger."

"She died early."

As He He spoke, she raised her hand and propped up her forehead, her gaze somewhat vacant.

Also somewhat melancholic, looking out the window.

"At the end of spring two years ago, she and my half-sister from the same mother were shot in the head and killed at the entrance of a hotel."

"The one who should have died was that sister who stole my mother's love! Unfortunately, she was actually saved at the time by a meddling female police officer."

52. Human nature cannot be stared at directly

"This world, truly..."

He He sneered.

"I hadn't even gotten a chance to take revenge on her before she died early."

"The one who should have died didn't die, and the one who shouldn't have died did!"

"Damn."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down, slow down!" He He suddenly shouted loudly.

Just now, the RV almost collided with a car in front.

"Good lord! Are you trying to scare someone to death?" He He shouted.

The RV slowed down.

Ning Chen, still driving without looking sideways, said:

"I didn't expect you to be someone with a story too."

"You thought I was a shallow woman?" He He smiled.

Sensing that Ning Chen seemed to have entered her experience, her interest in talking also rose, and she began to speak endlessly.

"My biological father died in a car accident the year I was in junior high. He was the only person in this world who was good to me. That woman married another man half a year after my father passed away."

"Half a year, do you know what that means?"

"A man who lived for most of his life, died, and half a year later she married another man, and then gave birth to that sister of mine!"

"Human nature truly cannot be stared at directly!"

"After my half-sister from the same mother was born, she gave all her love to her new daughter, while I became a negative example; everything I did looked like failure in her eyes!"

"I liked music, she thought it was not doing my duty."

"So, very well, I dropped out of university, and from then on I would only live for music."

"Whatever she didn't like, I would insist on doing!"

"Heaven really has eyes! That new man she found turned out to be a gambler, and later for money, he actually got involved with drug dealers! He must have offended people on the streets and ran away. Since those people couldn't find him, they naturally had to target his family, so two years ago, she was shot in the head."

"Fortunately, I was studying in another city at the time, otherwise I would have died too!"

"Thinking about it now, I still feel she deserved it. It must be my biological father watching from heaven, feeling she owed me too much, so he took her away!"

As He He spoke this, a smile still hung on her face, but she raised her hand and began to wipe her eyes.

Seeing that Ning Chen hadn't spoken for a long while.

He He looked at Ning Chen, "You seem to be talking more than before?"

"I am somewhat emotional." Ning Chen looked ahead and said.

He He smiled, raised her hand to wipe her tears dry, "Right? My experience, did it stir up your pity? I said I understand men very well, didn't I?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Mm."

"By the way, you just said, regarding that incident two years ago, what happened to your half-sister from the same father later?"

"Sent to an orphanage, she was five years old at the time," He He said, "I personally took her there. Of course I know she was innocent, but does that make me guilty? Besides, I can't even support myself."

"Haven't seen her since?"

"Saw her twice. During the New Year these past two years, I go to the orphanage and buy her some food and clothes, but I have no feelings for her at all."

"Understandable."

"Understandable?"

"Mm."

"That's good."

"What happened back then?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes; later I heard from the police. Shot in the head, bang! Understand?" He He made a gesture, but Ning Chen was still driving, looking ahead, and did not look at her, "At that time, that girl was right by her side, she was simply scared silly, and then a female police officer rushed over and carried her away, otherwise she would have been killed too."

"What happened later?"

"Later? Later, that female police officer was hit by a bullet and died, so it can also be said one life exchanged for another."

As He He spoke, she smiled.

Ning Chen stopped speaking.

The speed of the motorhome slowed down.

Ahead, the lights of a small town could be seen.

"Let's spend the night here tonight," Ning Chen said.

"You're not kicking me out?" He He said happily.

"Living isn't easy for anyone; I can understand," Ning Chen said, looking at her, "By the way, where is your family from?"

"From the East Sea, East Sea City."

"Oh." Ning Chen nodded, his face showing no expression.

He stood up and returned to the motorhome.

East Sea City Bureau.

The conference hall.

More than a dozen police officers.

On the large screen directly ahead, a photo was displayed.

It was exactly that photo from Brother Shiguang's live stream.

"The photo was taken on May 14, 2020, which is the scene of the major case shootout from two years ago."

"This photo was accidentally seen by Zhao Mengmeng in Ning Chen's—namely, Si Shiya's former fiancé's—live stream."

"He is now on the Shark live streaming platform, working as a travel streamer."

"So it is very strange how he obtained such a photo."

"On this photo, the armed man in gray-green attire at the hotel window is the assassin who killed Si Shiya two years ago."

"In this case, two years ago, several bandits at the scene were killed in the shootout, and from the Provincial Department down to our City Bureau, all leads were completely cut off."

"And now the appearance of this photo can be considered a new lead."

"But because the man in the photo happened to have turned his face away, we cannot see his appearance."

"Mengmeng, you accidentally discovered this photo in Ning Chen's live stream; what do you think?"

Zhao Mengmeng stood up and nodded.

"I think the current priority is, on one hand, the identity of this assassin, or more precisely, his appearance."

"On the other hand, why Ning Chen possesses such a photo; this is very important!"

The Director looked at Zhao Mengmeng. "You know Ning Chen; what do you think?"

Zhao Mengmeng hesitated for a moment. "I think... over these two years, he should have... been privately investigating this case using his own methods."

"Or rather, he may not care about the case itself, but he is searching for the person who killed Si Shiya."

The entire conference hall fell silent.
