Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 367: 115: The crazy Sun Shiwu, greatly abuses his top-quality relatives, the boss is back_3

It just had to be a murder case involving complete family annihilation.

Every single one of them, young or old, was gone.

There was no one left to contact to identify the bodies.

Thankfully, the suspect was apprehended in time.

Li Xianxian jerked awake from her nightmare.

She had had a very, very terrifying dream.

In her dream, Li Shu, covered in blood, was staring at her. She didn’t say anything, but her gaze was all the more chilling for it.

That cold went clear to her bones.

Even thinking about it now, it sent a shiver of horror down her spine.

She felt the sunlight streaming in through the window.

Some of Li Xianxian’s calm returned.

She got dressed, got out of bed and went to eat in the cafeteria.

Everyone in the cafeteria was buzzing about the horrifying murder of an entire family the night before.

The two people seated next to Li Xianxian were whispering about it. Li Xianxian could hear them clearly due to their proximity.

The girl with long hair said, “Xiaofei! Did you hear? Someone died over at Yaohai Guesthouse yesterday!”

Xiaofei exclaimed in surprise, “Really?”

“Is there any doubt?” said the girl with long hair, “The news is all over town! Didn’t you see our entire campus discussing it today?”

Xiaofei followed up with, “Who were the ones that died?”

“They say an entire family of four died. The youngest was merely a few months old! The oldest was a woman in her seventies, and there were two that were slightly young….”

At this point, Li Xianxian furrowed her brows. Coupled with the dream she had just woken up from, she had a sinking feeling in her heart.

Could it be that the four people being discussed were Li Shu and the others?

Probably not.

Li Shu and the others had just arrived in Beijing, and they had no enemies. Moreover, they were currently with Ni Yang.

Li Xianxian was already in touch with organ traffickers. As soon as Li Shu’s affairs were settled, the traffickers would take Ni Yang away.

With these thoughts, Li Xianxian felt somewhat relieved. She picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth.

“Oh my God!” Xiaofei was finding this hard to digest, “Isn’t this too horrifying?”

“You’re telling me!” sighed the long-haired girl, “The murderer is a totally cruel person, right? To think they would wipe out an entire family over some grudge or hatred!”

Xiaofei couldn’t even eat anymore, “Has the police found out who did it yet? If this keeps up, who would dare to stay at a guesthouse?”

The long-haired girl replied, “I heard the suspect’s name is something like Sun Shiwu. I’m not too sure though….”

Sun Shiwu?

Even though Li Xianxian didn’t want to remember this name, she couldn’t help but do so.

She couldn’t forget that father who was as evil as a devil.

Wait…

By rights, Sun Shiwu should be dead!

When Li Xianxian left the Sun family with Li Shu, she had specifically lit a pot of coal and closed all the doors and windows in the house. How could he not have died from carbon dioxide poisoning?

What on earth was going on?

If the murderer was confirmed to be Sun Shiwu, then those who were killed were definitely Li Shu and the others!

But how on earth had Sun Shiwu tracked down Li Shu?

Li Xianxian’s chopsticks clattered to the tabletop.

All colour drained from her pale face.

If Li Shu was dead, so what? She had no connection to the Mu family, but if all of Mu family was gone, who else would keep Ni Yang in check?

“Xianxian, what’s wrong? You look really pale?” Noting that something was off with Li Xianxian, Xiaofei turned to look at her.

“Nothing,” Li Xianxian managed to squeeze out a smile, “I’m just a bit light-headed, maybe because I was up all night writing.”

Even at a time like this, Li Xianxian didn’t forget to keep up her image as a hardworking writer.

Xiaofei said, “Xianxian, you’re already so talented and yet you still work so hard, how do you expect the rest of us to live?”

“Exactly,” the long-haired girl agreed.

Li Xianxian laughed, “Have you guys heard of this saying?”

“What saying?” Xiaofei asked.

Li Xianxian continued, “It’s something I came up with when I was down on my luck. Don’t laugh when you hear it.”

“Okay,” both of them nodded, very curious as to what wisdom Li Xianxian had distilled from her misfortune.

After all, Li Xianxian was famously talented in their entire school; anything she said was sure to be thought-provoking.

Li Xianxian said slowly, weighing each word carefully,

“Children without umbrellas must run harder. I am different from you. I have no parents, no family, no backing. The only one I can rely on is myself. Therefore, I have to work harder, because only through hard work can I lead a better life.”
