Chapter 23 - 4.4

Kaize carried Yeey upstairs on his back. Yeey lay on Kaize's back and said, "Don't blame yourself. I believe we'll find the murderer soon."

Kaize smiled. From inside the room, Liu Ly asked, "What murderer?"

Kaize turned to look at Liu Ly's door. Yeey looked at Kaize as well. Kaize spoke, "Someone killed Gu Qing."

After hearing this, Liu Ly opened the door and ran out. Kaize and Yeey stared in shock as she rushed downstairs, then looked at each other.

Fumei was just about to go upstairs when Liu Ly ran down, opened the front door, and dashed outside. Fumei looked at Liu Ly running away in confusion, then turned and met Kaize's eyes as he came down.

Chapter Four: Mount Himalaya

Sanz was walking down the street alone, playing with his phone. Suddenly, someone stood in front of him. Sanz widened his eyes in surprise.

It was Liu Ly. She rushed forward and hugged Sanz. Sanz looked at her in shock. "This is a bit too sudden, isn't it?"

"Watch out!" a voice came from the distance. Sanz and Liu Ly looked over—it was Chun Lioli. At that moment, a noise came from behind Liu Ly. Sanz turned around just in time to see the man in black swinging an axe at her. Sanz reacted quickly and pulled Liu Ly aside. The axe slammed into the ground and got stuck.

Lioli signaled Lijuan to flank the man in black with him. Lijuan nodded and circled around.

After pulling the axe out, the man in black saw Lioli running toward him and began to flee. Sanz helped Liu Ly up. After recovering, Liu Ly tightly embraced Sanz.

Sanz said to Liu Ly, "Thank you."

Liu Ly looked up at him. "Why thank me?"

Sanz smiled. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead."

The two hugged each other like survivors of a disaster. Lioli ran past them. Lijuan ran to the other side of the street, but suddenly the man in black appeared right in front of her. He stared at her. Lijuan stepped back, tripped over a stone, and fell. Watching the man in black slowly approach, she closed her eyes.

A moment later, someone pushed her shoulder. Lijuan opened her eyes abruptly—Lioli was in front of her. He asked, "Are you okay?"

Lijuan shook her head. Lioli continued, "Where's the man in black?"

Lijuan remained silent. Lioli helped her up. "Let's get in the car first."

Soon, the four of them returned to Fumei's house. When Fumei saw Liu Ly come back, she excitedly hugged her. Liu Ly, held in her arms, also began to cry. After Fumei let go, Liu Ly looked at Yeey sitting in the wheelchair, then at Kaize beside him, and rushed over to hug them.

Lioli looked at them seriously. "Be careful lately. You've been targeted."

Sanz looked at Lioli in confusion. "Why did you show up so quickly where we were?"

Lioli looked at him. "When I came to Fumei's house, I happened to see Liu Ly run out. I was afraid something would happen to her, so I followed behind."

Fumei, Yeey, Kaize, and Liu Ly exchanged glances. Lijuan stood aside, seemingly lost in thought.

Kaize, Yeey, Sanz, and Liu Ly sat in front of the TV watching the movie Coco.

Suddenly, water began dripping from Yeey's wheelchair. Kaize turned and realized Yeey had urinated on himself. Kaize quickly pushed Yeey into the bathroom and gestured for Liu Ly and Sanz to clean the floor.

After entering the bathroom, Kaize began helping Yeey take off his pants and clean him. Sitting in the wheelchair, Yeey suddenly started sobbing uncontrollably. Seeing this, Kaize went over and hugged him. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here."

After Kaize hugged him, Yeey cried even harder.

Outside, Liu Ly and Sanz cleaned the urine from the floor. Sanz asked, "Why did he become like this?"

Liu Ly froze for a moment. "You wouldn't want to know."

Sanz continued, "And why does that man in black want to kill us?"

Liu Ly glared at him. Sanz lowered his head. "Alright, I won't ask."

After Kaize finished cleaning Yeey in the bathroom, he carried him out on his back. Yeey looked at Kaize and said, "If one day I can walk again, I'll definitely go climb Mount Himalaya with you."

Kaize smiled and tapped his nose.

Not long after, Kaize said to Sanz, "Liu Ly and I need to go out for a bit. Help me take care of Yeey, okay?"

Sanz patted his shoulder. "Don't worry. Leave him to me."

Kaize smiled, then turned and walked toward Fumei in the driver's seat. After watching them leave, Sanz locked the door and walked over to sit beside Yeey.

Sanz said, "Now it's just the two of us at home."

Yeey glanced at him. "What? You planning to rape me?"

Sanz waved his hands frantically. "No no no! I just wanted to ask you a few questions."

Yeey kept watching the movie. "I don't have time for you. I'm watching the film—please don't bother me."

Seeing Yeey was so hard to talk to, Sanz stood up and went upstairs. He entered the room, put on his headphones, and began listening to music.

Downstairs, Yeey was still watching the movie. Suddenly, the man in black began violently smashing the front door with an axe. Yeey's eyes widened and he shouted, "Sanz! Can you hear that, Sanz!"

But Sanz continued listening to music.

The man in black smashed a hole in the door, reached inside, turned the handle, and walked in. Yeey's pupils dilated as the man stood before him.

Yeey resigned himself and said, "When you were breaking in just now, it looked exactly like a scene from The Shining."

The man in black tilted his head. "Really? Then you should die just like the character Dick Hallorann."

Yeey looked at him seriously. "Don't you feel ashamed bullying a half-paralyzed person?"

The man in black's voice grew louder. "Then do you feel ashamed for teaming up with Kaize to kill a little boy?"

Yeey froze for a few seconds. "You… who are you?"

The man in black took off his hood. The face that appeared before Yeey was Chen Jianhuo.
