That was over a year ago, when my parents fell ill with a minor flu. They were treated in the hospital with an expensive imported antibiotic, which was said to be effective in preventing infection. However, half a year later, they both developed a strange illness, suffering from respiratory failure and liver and kidney dysfunction, and eventually passed away despite rescue efforts. At first, I thought it was a rare disease, but later discovered that it might have been a man-made incident, rooted in a foreign pharmaceutical company. The investigation has been slow, and with the passage of time, the victims have dispersed, making it difficult to gather evidence. The other party's lawyers have raised various counter-evidence and doubts, and I don't know how long it will take to get a result.

  Qingchen decided not to wait any longer, she started her own investigation into the matter, relying on her extraordinary skills. Later, through a stolen foreign document, she found out that Guanside was the person in charge of the development of this drug, and it was he who concealed the report of low-probability delayed allergic reactions in animal experiments. Coincidentally, this person was about to come to Zhixu country to handle business. Qingchen did not want to miss this opportunity, she decided to take matters into her own hands! At the same time, she didn't want to kill someone without a reason, so there was the online murder post event.

  During the investigation, she occasionally stumbled upon other things, and someone was guilty of being executed, but cleverly cleared evidence to avoid detection by the police. Then there was a second assassination, followed by a third, fourth, until the recent assassination of Sun Wanlin failed. She has entered a very self-enclosed state, forgetting her past self, as if continuing to assassinate has become an inexplicable mission or a sense of justice and responsibility that cannot be explained, only in this way can she get rid of painful memories.

  Before her parents died, her family was happy and harmonious. She was studying in middle school, a very smart and excellent girl, about to take the college entrance examination to enter university, and had a good chance of being admitted to one of the best universities in Wu Prefecture. However, everything changed overnight, and she became a serial killer. As for how such a girl could have amazing martial arts skills, and had been practicing since childhood, that's another complicated story.

  Until she met the innocent Xiao Bai, she had a little awakening in her crazy self. The impression that Bai Shaofeng gave her was silly, saving her was just saving her without thinking of anything else, and at the same time, Xiao Bai seemed very smart, always very self-aware and following her heart. In those two months at Xiao Bai's home, she had a long-lost warm feeling, and she almost didn't want to leave. Unfortunately, she had to go, her identity had become a wanted criminal in police stations all over the country, and if the police found out where she was, it would only implicate Xiao Bai.

  Rumor has it that Xiaobai might have an accident, regardless of whether it's true or not, she must come. As a result, Xiaobai Ge really had an accident! When it was time to take action and save people, Qingchen chose to save more people, which resulted in Xiaobai getting injured. She felt very sorry and conflicted about this. However, at the same time, there was another even more important thing that caught her attention - this wasn't just an accidental car crash!

  That mysterious Mr. Mei had known in advance that something that was expected to happen couldn't be an accident. Qing Chen saw clearly that when the big bus cut into the opposite lane, the driver's expression was obviously abnormal. The driver also seemed more flustered, but tried to remain calm, his eyes fixed not on the road ahead, but on the white Jeep driving straight towards him from the opposite direction. This could only mean one thing - the bus had intentionally let the Jeep crash into it.

  Qingchen recalled Mr. Mei's words about the path of evil and the source of evil, which she actually understood in her heart, and now she thoroughly understood it. If Xiaobai died, the murderer would be the bus driver, who deliberately caused the accident to happen, making everyone mistakenly believe it was a traffic accident. However, Xiaobai and his friends couldn't have offended the bus driver, not even knowing him. In a sense, the driver was just an assassin, and she herself was also an assassin, differing only in their purposes and targets for killing.

  Qing Chen was initially a bit dazed, but now she suddenly woke up again, and she had new things to do. Someone wanted to harm Xiao Bai, although they didn't succeed, she must investigate clearly, and if necessary, take action for Xiao Bai once more. The failed assassination attempt on Sun Wanlin didn't mean she couldn't try again; since she said she would kill Sun Wanlin, then she should go and kill him. There was another thing: that silly little white really didn't let people worry, if there were still dangers, she should protect him herself.

  It's unlikely for a person to change completely in an instant, although Mr. Mei said a lot to Qingchen and she understood the reasoning. Qingchen is still young but has a resolute heart; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to cultivate her skills. So she will continue doing what she did before, and she will kill Sun Wanlin. However, things have changed slightly due to Bai Shaoliu. Although they are not related by blood or marriage, now in this world, perhaps Bai Shaoliu is the only person she cares about. First, she needs to protect Bai Shaoliu; second, she wants to investigate the mastermind behind the attempt on his life.

  After Xiaobai's injury was almost healed and he returned to Wuyou City, Qingchen also quietly returned to Wuyou City. Due to the lesson from being chased by those twelve mysterious people last time, her movements became even more secretive, not wanting to leave any clues that could be easily tracked. Naturally, Xiaobai didn't see her again either. Qingchen wanted to find an opportunity to make another move and assassinate Sun Wanlin, but unexpectedly found out that Sun Wanlin was already dead, so she didn't need to kill him again.

  Sun Wanlin was not killed, nor did he die from an accident. Even the police didn't have time to sort out his case files. He died on the same day that Qingchen made his first move to assassinate him. When the police were escorting him back to the detention center, they heard a loud "bang" sound on the road, which was caused by a nearby large truck suddenly blowing a tire. Sun Wanlin immediately clutched his chest and turned pale, with cold sweat pouring out of his forehead. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was already dead. It is said that Sun Wanlin had no history of heart disease before, and the police all said that he was scared to death.

  The police had originally blocked the news, wanting to continue using Sun Wanlin to lure Qingchen into a trap. However, after two months, Qingchen still hadn't appeared, and the news of Sun Wanlin's death finally came out. Coincidentally, at this time, Qingchen returned to Wuyi City and heard about the incident. Now that Sun Wanlin was dead, Qingchen's next move was to protect Xiao Bai while investigating who was secretly harming her.

  ……

  Bai Shaofeng was still clueless about the many things that had happened around him. He had lost his job, was running out of money, and his right hand and left leg were now half-crippled. If there was any gain to be found, it was that he had practiced the mental technique that Qingchen had taught him before leaving, and had truly reached a state of unity between body and spirit. He was born with a special talent, and for him, achieving this state meant being able to use his hands and eyes in tandem, which was an extraordinary accomplishment. Little White didn't fully realize this yet; he only thought that he could become a master thief now.

  That evening, Xiao Bai was busy back and forth on the No. 5 bus for several rounds, stealing back all the stolen goods from a group of thieves, and then quietly returning them to their owners in batches. When the sky had darkened and the thieves were off duty, Bai Shaoliu got off the No. 5 bus and arrived near the train station. He hadn't eaten dinner yet, and only then did he remember that he had handled so many wallets but didn't leave a single penny for himself, feeling a bit proud and regretful at the same time. After eating a bowl of scrambled eggs with rice for five yuan in a small eatery, he didn't feel like returning to his empty home, so he started strolling around nearby. As he wandered, he found himself walking back to the entrance of the pedestrian overpass near the Wan Guo Mo Tong Bank's Wuyue branch, where he used to work.
