I pinched my waist and petted him, and I was made to cry by the ruffian Third Master.

Su Mian answered almost without thinking: "Didn't you say it was because of robbery?"

Zhang Qiwen only chuckled, his tone full of disdain and ridicule: "How naive!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Su Mian's heart.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her face was full of disbelief. She stared at Zhang Qiwen with wide eyes and asked in a trembling voice, "What do you know?"

Zhang Qiwen slowly walked up to Su Mian, leaned close to her ear, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "You turned Shao Jing into a vegetable, so Shen Zhou certainly won't let it go. He found someone to teach your brother a lesson, but who would have thought that those three guys would beat your brother to death without knowing how to control their severity."

As Zhang Qiwen finished speaking, a thunderous roar seemed to sound in Su Mian's mind.

She felt like her world was falling apart and nothing seemed real anymore.

She couldn't accept this fact, how could this be possible?

How could Shen Zhou treat himself like this?

How could he do such a cruel thing to avenge himself?

Su Mian wanted to question Zhang Qiwen loudly and prove that all this was fake.

However, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and all the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out no matter what.

She could only stand there blankly, her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul.

Zhang Qiwen saw this scene and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "So, don't dream of having a bright future with Shen Zhou anymore. There are two lives between you!"

Zhang Qiwen's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Su Mian's thoughts. After a long while, Su Mian barely found his voice.

"This is impossible, Shen Zhou would never do such a thing!"

Su Mian's tone was full of disbelief and pain, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

However, Zhang Qiwen just sneered contemptuously and didn't care about Su Mian's questioning.

"If you don't believe it, then go check whether those three hooligans are still in prison." Zhang

After Qiwen said this, he ignored Su Mian and turned around and left the Shen family villa, leaving Su Mian standing there in a daze.

Su Mian's body was shaking. He took out his cell phone from his pocket tremblingly and prepared to call Shen Zhou.

She had to find out whether what Zhang Qiwen said was true.

However, just as she was about to press the dial button, Su Zhengmin's video call request suddenly popped up.

Su Mian's heart tightened and he quickly answered the video call.

The screen was completely dark, and Su Zhengmin was nowhere to be seen. "Dad, what's going on?"

Su Mian asked anxiously.

"My girl, there's a power outage at home..."

Su Zhengmin's voice came from the darkness and sounded a little strange.

Su Mian heard this and quickly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, I'll be home soon."

"But before I could cook for you, the power went out..."

There was a hint of helplessness in Su Zhengmin's tone.

"Dad, I'm not hungry. I'll be back later. Let's go out to eat together, okay?"

Su Mian noticed that something was wrong with her father's condition, and hurried to comfort him. However, as soon as she finished speaking, the other side suddenly fell silent.

Su Mian panicked and shouted anxiously, "Dad, can you hear me?"

However, the screen remained dark and there was no response.

Su Mian's heartbeat became more and more rapid, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

She held the phone tightly and tried to call her father again, but all she got was deathly silence.

After a long time, Su Zhengmin's voice came intermittently from the phone.

"My daughter, there's a power outage. I don't know if Haohao's school has a power outage. I called him, but I couldn't reach him."

When Su Mian heard this, her heart tightened involuntarily. Su Zhengmin was ill.

"Dad, remember the rechargeable desk lamp in the drawer? Take it out and light it up first. I'll be back soon."

There was a hint of urgency in Su Mian's words. As she spoke, she rushed towards the exit of the villa in panic.

Not long after, a faint light appeared in the video, which was illuminated by Su Zhengmin using the desk lamp.

However, since I forgot to charge it last time, the light was so dim that it could barely penetrate the darkness.

Even so, the faint light was enough for Su Mian to see Su Zhengmin's face.

He placed his phone firmly on the table, and then he began to talk to himself.

"My girl, I suddenly remembered, Haohao...he is gone, he is gone."

Su Zhengmin's voice was filled with deep sorrow, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.

"Haohao, and your mother, they are gone, they left us."

At this point, his voice almost choked, and every word seemed to carry endless grief.

When Su Mian heard this, her heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. She hurriedly stopped and indescribable sadness welled up in her eyes.

Before Su Zhengmin finished his words, he turned around silently and walked towards his small room with heavy steps.

When he appeared in the video again, he was seen holding Su Hao's urn tightly in his arms. The box was so small that it was heartbreaking.

Su Mian's heart suddenly stopped beating as if it was pinched.

"dad."

She called softly, her voice filled with worry and uneasiness.

Su Zhengmin's fingers gently stroked the urn, as if he was caressing a sleeping baby.

"Haohao is in here. Just imagine how uncomfortable he must be in such a small box."

His voice was filled with endless sadness and helplessness.

"My daughter, I miss your mother and your brother."

He looked up into the distance, as if looking for relatives who had gone far away.

Before Su Mian could open her mouth, her attention was attracted by a sudden reflection. Before she could see what it was, she heard the sound of a knife cutting meat, and then Su Zhengmin fell heavily on the table.

Su Mian was completely panicked. She shouted loudly into the phone, her voice filled with fear and despair.

"Dad! Dad! What's wrong with you? Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Her voice echoed in the empty room, but no one responded.

But no one responded to her.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

The video lights up again.

Su Mian saw the scene in the room clearly.

An old man lying on the table.

The table was covered with blood.

Su Mian was so scared that he staggered and fell heavily to the ground, and his cell phone flew out.

At this moment, Su Mian ignored the severe pain in his knee, struggled to get up from the ground, and ran to pick up his mobile phone.

The video on the phone was interrupted because of the fall just now.

Su Mian frantically dialed Su Zhengmin's number, but no one answered the call.

Su Mian suddenly panicked.

She ran towards the road crying and dialed 120.

When Su Mian rushed back, the ambulance had just left the community. She hurriedly asked the taxi driver to follow the ambulance to the hospital.

When she finally arrived at the hospital, what she saw made it almost impossible for her to breathe. The lights in the emergency room were glaring and cold, and her father had been rushed into the room for emergency treatment.

Su Mian stood outside the emergency room, anxiously staring at the closed door, her heartbeat echoing in her chest like a drum.

Doctors and nurses came and went in a hurry, their faces full of seriousness and tension.

Su Mian's heart ached, she felt as if she was thrown into an endless abyss, surrounded by cold darkness, with only the dazzling light as the only brightness.

She couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed to a nurse in a panic, her voice trembling and hurried: "Nurse, I'm not going to work. How is my dad...?"

Her voice was filled with fear and anxiety, as if she would fall apart if she relaxed even a little.

The nurse turned around and glanced at Su Mian, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes: "They are all in the emergency room. We will do our best."

After saying that, she turned around again and hurried back to the emergency room.

Su Mian stood there, as if all his strength had been drained out of him.

She squatted down, hugged her knees tightly with her hands, and stared at the closed door with red eyes.

Her heart was filled with endless worry and prayer, hoping that her parents could survive this disaster safely.

Suddenly, the cell phone in her bag rang, and the shrill ringtone echoed in the silent corridor.

Su Mian suddenly raised her head and took out her cell phone from her bag with trembling hands. After seeing the note, she took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and put the phone tightly to her ear.

"Hello."

Shen Zhou asked on the phone why Su Mian hadn't arrived yet, and whether he was deliberately teasing her.

Su Mian was shaking violently. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his phone ran out of battery and turned off.

Su Mian sat alone on the bench, her eyes empty as she stared at the black screen of the phone in her hand.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor, breaking the dead silence.

Su Mian raised his head suddenly and saw a doctor hurriedly walking out of the emergency room, his face full of fatigue and helplessness.

Su Mian's heart suddenly tightened. She seemed to have anticipated something, but she didn't dare to believe it.

She didn't care about anything else, she staggered to her feet and stumbled towards the doctor.

Her voice was trembling and weak: "Doctor, my father...how is he?"

The doctor looked at her and shook his head gently, with a hint of compassion in his tone: "Family members, please accept our condolences. We have done our best."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mian felt as if the whole world had collapsed.

She seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbreaking, so desperate and helpless.

She saw other nurses pushing a stretcher covered with a white cloth slowly out of the emergency room. At that moment, Su Mian suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if all the strength had been drained from her body.

She wanted to get up, but found that she didn't even have the strength to do so.

She could only watch helplessly at the once familiar and friendly face, now lying there lifeless.

She couldn't believe this was true. The father who said he would cook for her at home, the father who always encouraged her with a smile, had left her just like that.

She wanted to question fate, wanted to question the world, but she couldn't utter a word.

Her tears slid down silently, dripping onto the cold floor, splashing sad water drops.

She looked at the familiar face, her heart filled with endless sorrow and regret.

She reached out and slapped herself hard twice.

Why do you want to leave? Why don't you stay home with me?

Why?

Seeing Su Mian's condition, the nurse stepped forward to stop him.

Su Mian felt a black screen before his eyes and then he fainted.

When Su Mian woke up again, it was already the next morning.

She suddenly thought of something, and when she saw the nurse come in, she pulled her over to ask Su Zhengmin.

When Su Mian learned that he was in the morgue, he immediately pulled out the pillow from his hand and stumbled towards the morgue.

There was an indescribable silence in the morgue. Su Mian stood quietly beside her father's body, staring at it.

"Dad, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I killed Haohao and I killed you too."

If she had not gone to Shen Zhou's house and appeared in Shao Jing's room, Shen Zhou would not have taken revenge on Su Hao, and Su Hao would not have died.

It's all my fault.

She wanted to seek justice for Su Hao, but she was too weak and she could do nothing.

If she could go back in time, she would never like Shen Zhou again.

Su Mian walked out of the morgue. Because her cell phone was out of battery and turned off, she could only ask someone to help her contact the funeral home.

As she waited, her mood grew heavier, as if she were being crushed by a huge rock and was unable to breathe.

She kept recalling the memories with her father. Those warm smiles and caring words now turned into heart-wrenching pain.

It was already evening when Su Mian walked out of the funeral home again. She returned to the apartment holding the urn with an expressionless face.

The moment she opened the door, she was greeted by a dead atmosphere accompanied by a smell of blood.

She carefully placed her father's urn next to Su Hao, which was her brother's urn.

She looked at the two boxes next to each other, her heart filled with endless sorrow.

She slowly walked to the kitchen, where a half-cooked dinner was still sitting.

She looked at the dishes and seemed to see her father busy at work.

She whispered to herself, "Dad, didn't you promise to cook for me? Why did you leave like this?"

Her voice was filled with endless sorrow, but all she heard in response was the empty kitchen and the cold air.

She brought the uncooked dishes to the table, ignored the blood on the table, and started eating.

While eating, she thought about Su Zhengmin's condition before she left yesterday.

I saw that my father had dressed himself meticulously. The suit that had been dusty for decades was put on his shoulders again, and every wrinkle was carefully smoothed out.

He thought his father was dressed decently because he was going back to his hometown, but what she didn't expect was that his father was dressed like this because he was going to meet his wife.

When my mother was alive, she liked to see my father wearing suits, so now my father wears a suit to see her.

Su Mian talked to himself.

"Dad, you must have been very busy during this period, so you can't wait to see mom and brother."

"But Dad, you left me alone in this world, and I'm scared."

Su Mian's voice echoed in the empty kitchen, trembling slightly.

After eating, Su Mian charged his dead phone.

She opened her mailbox and wrote a long email to her good friend Yu Sheng. After doing all this, Su Mian walked to the dining table, picked up the dagger that was still stained with blood on the table, and cut her aorta heavily.

Mom and Dad, Haohao, I’m here to find you.

The Jiang family villa at that time.

When Shen Zhou returned home, Shen Minzhi broke the silence without warning and started to lecture him directly.

"Xiao Zhou, what's wrong with you? Why are you still hanging out with that woman Su Mian? She even came straight to our house yesterday."

Shen Zhou was startled, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Did she really come yesterday?"

"That's right. I don't know what she said to Qiwen. Now that you are with Qiwen, you should completely draw a line between yourself and Su Mian."

Shen Zhou's heart began to beat wildly. He could no longer hear what was said afterwards. The only words echoing in his mind were "She came to see you yesterday."

It turned out that she had not broken her promise, nor had she teased him, but he had misunderstood what she meant by "home".

Shen Zhou's heart was instantly gripped by an inexplicable panic. Without saying anything more, he turned around in a hurry and left the quiet villa in a hurry.

He couldn't wait to get into the car and dialed Su Mian's number with trembling fingers.

However, no one answered the call, and every ring was like a deep scar in his heart.

Shen Zhou's heart began to become confused. He kept dialing the familiar number, as if he could pour out all the uneasiness and worry in his heart.

Finally, the call was answered.

Shen Zhou said urgently: "Mianmian, where are you now? I'll go find you."

However, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was that of an unfamiliar man.

"Hello, I am a police officer from the Public Security Bureau. The owner of the phone committed suicide by cutting his wrists in the house."
