They lamented the twists of fate and felt sorrow for Chen Jingyu's plight. 0
 
An older brother in the group said, "Chen Jingyu died unjustly. Let's use the money from the returned Red Envelopes to buy her a burial plot." 0
 
"Let her rest in peace on her journey to the afterlife." 0
 
This proposal received a positive response from everyone. 0
 
They all began to withdraw their contributions according to the records. 0
 
Except for one person. 0
 
It was Xiao Ma. 0
 
She did not return her money. 0
 
That night, I had a dream. 0
 
In my dream, Xiao Ma appeared before me. 0
 
I asked her, "If you could do it all over again, would you still make the same choice?" 0
 
She gave a bitter smile and replied, "No." 0
 
"After all, such things come with consequences." 0
 
"This whole situation was a mistake from the very beginning." 0
 
"It wasn't your fault, nor mine." 0
 
"It was those owners who looked down on Chen Jingyu and urged her to send Red Envelopes!" 0
 
 
I began to follow Li Baoqiang and managed to add him on WeChat through some means. 0
 
We became online friends. 0
 
The more we chatted, the more familiar we became. 0
 
Under some coaxing, he talked about the accident that happened six years ago. 0
 
Six years ago, he was working at a construction site. 0
 
That day, he and his colleagues were operating a crane to lift a batch of steel beams. 0
 
During the lifting process, he noticed that the center of gravity of the hook was off. 0
 
He informed the operator, but the operator ignored his warning. 0
 
Frustrated, he adjusted the hook slightly. 0
 
Unexpectedly, the operator lifted the crane and it struck the track beam, resulting in an immediate death. 0
 
The deceased was named Yang and was a fitter. 0
 
Li Baoqiang lost his job as a result. 0
 
I asked him, "What is your attitude towards Yang's family?" 0
 
Li Baoqiang replied, "I paid five thousand yuan!" 0
 
"Besides, if that fitter named Yang hadn’t stubbornly refused to listen, he wouldn’t have died." 0
 
"It was his own fault; it has nothing to do with me!" 0
 
"I didn't even ask him for money; I considered myself lucky!" 0
 
 
I widened my eyes, filled with shock and hatred. 0
 
Li Baoqiang actually showed no signs of remorse! 0
 
This ignited a deeper hatred within me! 0
 
I wanted to take revenge on him! 0
 
You see, Li Baoqiang had always been fond of gambling. 0
 
He often visited lottery stations and played mahjong. 0
 
I took advantage of this, using gaming as an excuse to lure him to gambling websites. 0
 
I set a trap for him to fall into. 0
 
Li Baoqiang fell into online debt, and to cover his losses, he chose to embezzle company funds. 0
 
In the end, the company fired Li Baoqiang. 0
 
He ended up living in a small apartment in the neighborhood. 0
 
Coincidentally, I moved into the same neighborhood. 0
 
Although we were just online acquaintances, he had seen me but did not recognize me. 0
 
Now, Li Baoqiang lived like a rat in a sewer. 0
 
He survived on the support of his mentally ill mother. 0
 
Yet I felt it wasn't enough. 0
 
As time passed, I gradually became closer to Xiao Ma. 0
 
One day, I pretended to casually show her a game on my phone that involved sending Red Envelopes. 0
 
 
I told her it was just an ordinary game. 0
 
After sending the Red Envelope, the system would refund double the amount. 0
Xiao Ma fell for it. 0
 
I felt a sense of satisfaction inside. 0
 
Because Li Baoqiang caused my father's death, I would make him pay! 0
 
Li Baoqiang was fired from his company for embezzlement. 0
 
To escape his debts, he rented a place in a community. 0
 
And I moved into the same community. 0
 
Although Li Baoqiang and I were online acquaintances, he did not know me. 0
 
Now, he lived like a rat in a sewer. 0
 
He depended on his mentally unstable mother to survive. 0
 
News in the Owner Group revealed that Chen Ranran's death had been ruled by the police as a heart attack. 0
 
But I suspected it had something to do with Li Baoqiang. 0
 
Just then, Zhao Jianming was found hanged in the elevator! 0
 
I was sure this was the work of Li Baoqiang. 0
 
Because he had completely lost his mind. 0
 
I decided to use the girl on the fifth floor to lure out Li Baoqiang. 0
 
I put up a drawing on the Fire Alarm Box. 0
 
 
I knew that Li Baoqiang often moved through the Garbage Chute and hid in the water tank on the rooftop. 0
 
I deliberately led the police to Li Baoqiang's home. 0
 
Since his house was already sealed off, Li Baoqiang would enter when no one was around to gather supplies and move about. 0
 
The police discovered the ajar passage and began to capture Li Baoqiang. 0
 
In the chaos, I ran into Li Baoqiang. 0
 
His eyes glinted with menace as he grabbed me. 0
 
I shouted his online name, "Mo Lu!" 0
 
"You are the one who caused my father's death!" 0
 
Li Baoqiang was taken aback. 0
 
Then, he let me go. 0
 
The police asked if there was anything else I wanted to do. 0
 
I said, "I want to visit my father's grave." 0
 
In that moment, I felt a deep longing and a sense of helplessness against fate. 0
