I crouched on the ground, watching the police wrap Dun Dun's body in a shower curtain, its little tail slipping out from the gap... In that moment, I felt my heart being tightly squeezed, as if someone were wringing out a towel. The pain left me speechless, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
After assisting the police with the statement, I realized I couldn't stay in my apartment for a while. Ji Tianming took me to Su Yuemei's house.
Before leaving, he looked at me with a serious expression. "Li Li, I know I can't stop you, but you must be careful. If anything suspicious happens, call me immediately, understood?"
I nodded, but a stubborn fire ignited within me.
Oh, what a cruel threat! They want me to know that they can easily invade my life and take away everything I cherish? You’ve messed with the wrong person! I will avenge Dun Dun!
At Su Yuemei's house, after taking a shower, I stood by the window, gazing at the cold silhouette of the city outside.
Su Yuemei walked in, her face filled with concern. "Lily, are you okay?"
I forced a smile. She pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath. "Lily, I think you should stop investigating; it's too dangerous! You can take some time off, okay?"
"Yueyue, I know you're looking out for me. But this news is too important to me; if I give up now..."
She interrupted me, her tone suddenly firm. "What news could be more important than your life?!"
Her reaction surprised me; after all these years of knowing each other, she rarely spoke to me like this.
It seemed she was genuinely scared; my Yueyue really cared about me.
I patted her hand and was about to offer some comforting words when her phone rang.
She glanced at it, grabbed her phone, and stood up to walk outside. Turning back, she pointed a finger at me and said, "Wait here; I'll be back after this call!"
I watched as little Yueyue stomped out in frustration and sighed deeply.
Picking up my phone again, I tried calling Old Zhou. To my surprise, he answered quickly this time.
"What do you want?" he asked warily.
"Old Zhou, are you safe right now?"
"Safe enough. I've made up an excuse about family matters and left Gangcheng. This number will be shut down soon; I'll give you a new one in a few days. Why are you calling so late?"
"I want to get in touch with the middleman for personality trading and make an appointment at that high-end clinic. Can you help me?" I said directly.
There was a silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds. “ Reporter Li, do you know what you’re saying? This is too dangerous!”
“I just want to take a look inside; I won’t do anything risky. Can you help me?”
Another pause followed. Finally, Old Zhou sighed. “Alright, I’ll see what I can do. If it works out, someone will contact you. Remember to use a fake name.”
Before I could respond, he hurriedly hung up.
I looked up to see Su Yuemei standing at the door. Her expression told me she had heard everything.
“Moon…”
“I know what you want to say! ‘You, Li Li, never back down!’ Right?!” Her face was pale with anger as she turned and stormed out, nearly slamming the door in my face.
Two days later, a middleman claiming to be “Manager Wei” contacted me. Well done, Old Zhou! You truly deserve the title of my number one informant!
On the call, I disguised myself as a wealthy second-generation heir who had just returned from abroad and was interested in "self-improvement," booking an appointment at the upscale clinic under the fake name “Zhang Li.”
After hanging up, I walked into Su Yuemei’s office and immediately told her about my plan.
