Liu Sang received a call from 17, who had turned himself in. He was sitting on the bank, his physical strength almost completely exhausted. Fortunately, he knew that he could quickly recover with a short rest since his total amount of HP wasn’t much to begin with.
Although 17 sounded very weak on the phone, he still involuntarily chuckled.
“What are you playing at?”
“Are you having fun?”
“Won’t you die without a heart?”
“Would you only have one copy of such an important thing?” 17 continued laughing. “You wasted twenty minutes, which means you didn’t think like Tu Dian at all. Otherwise, how could you be so stupid as to think you could guess our next move?”
“What the hell are you playing at?”
“You still have ten minutes. Did Wang Guo not tell you who our next target is?”
Liu Sang looked up at Wang Guo on the bridge, who was anxiously making phone calls.
“What did you do to him?”
“His wife is in my friend’s hands. This is how we divide the work. I turn myself in while he goes to kill people. I’m in charge of playing games with you while he’s responsible for the rewards. Do you understand?”
“With only ten minutes left, I’ve already lost. Why are you turning yourself in?”
“Of course this isn’t the end of it,” 17 said. “There’s still time for you to get to the police station. I made a deal with Wang Guo that he would give you the chance to be alone with me. You have to pull all the tubes out of my heart. But before I die, I’ll give you a phone number. If you call it, my friend will stop.”
“You want me to kill you,” Liu Sang muttered.
“Yes, give me relief. Pull out these horrible tubes and give me relief,” 17 said. “Otherwise, someone will die because of you.”
As he laughed again, Liu Sang could hear just how much those tubes had caused him to suffer.
Liu Sang remained silent for about a minute, at which point 17 said, “If you don’t come, I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it in time.”
Noticing that Liu Sang continued to remain silent, the other party said in a cheerful tone, “You won’t give up, will you? Surely Tu Dian didn’t pick the wrong person? You’re not just an ordinary person, are you?”
Liu Sang looked down at his hand—it had been trembling violently just now but had finally calmed down.
“In reality, things don’t always turn out the way you planned,” Liu Sang said. “There are always miracles.”

The young man dragged Wang Guo’s wife out of the car.
They were in a wheat field, and no one was around. He dragged the woman to the edge of the field and then carefully took out the foil-wrapped roses from his clothes.
She had to be awake. If she wasn’t, then it wouldn’t be as much fun.
He took out another bottle of medicine, which was a muscle relaxant.
He looked at his phone, but there still wasn’t a call—it seemed like he could proceed.
Laughing, he squatted down to wake the woman up but suddenly found that her eyes were open and looking at him coldly.
“Don’t be afraid,” he said to her. “It only hurts a little.”
Wang Guo’s wife suddenly rolled over, jumped up behind the young man’s back, and wrapped her hands around his neck like a snake.
The young man was completely stunned.
“Wait a minute, we can talk.” As the young man said this, his whole face immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
“So you’re the one who made my husband work overtime every day?” The woman said. “You’re young. Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“What?” The young man didn’t understand what was going on.
Wang Guo’s wife twisted her hands and broke his neck.

When Liu Sang and Wang Guo’s wife met for the first time in the hospital, Liu Sang listened to her heartbeat in surprise.
Although not as strong as he had heard before, he knew right away that this woman was different.
“Sister Zhang?” Liu Sang called tentatively.
At that time, Wang Guo’s wife looked at him with a very stern expression and made a shushing gesture.

Liu Sang looked at his steady hand.
“But it won’t end that way.” 17 was still talking on the phone—it seemed he didn’t know the real situation yet and still thought he had the upper hand. Liu Sang hung up the phone, probably shocking the other man.
“Idiot,” Liu Sang muttered to himself.
Wang Guo was still anxiously making phone calls. There were so many people who didn’t know. Liu Sang looked up at the sky, where the dark, oppressive clouds were gathering again.
Seventeen… just how many people were there?

“Help me buy a factory building that’s big enough. Yes, very big.” Xie Yuchen said over the phone as he looked out the window—it was raining heavily in Beijing and many people were running around wildly outside as they tried to avoid getting wet.
Only his voice could be heard in the room.
“No, not a production plant. An abandoned one would be best, but it has to be big enough.” He glanced back at the Lego structure he had built.
“It would be better if any outside light is sealed off so that it’s completely black and no light can enter. I’m going to build something inside.”
“I can give you the blueprints, but you won’t understand what I’m going to build if I don’t explain it to you.”
“Yes, I’m looking for the best designer. It’s going to be a one-to-one scale model for training.” Xie Yuchen suddenly felt a slight pain in his wrist and moved it a bit. “That’s right, money isn’t an issue. It was involved in a homicide case? That doesn’t matter.”
A photo of the factory was sent to his phone. When Xie Yuchen looked at it, he saw a lot of roses.
