“You got it!” Seeing Qin Ran's intense reaction, Lu Xin immediately had an idea. Being pointed at with a gun was naturally quite frightening, even though he had a gun himself. But Lu Xin saw that his sister had somehow appeared beside Qin Ran, staring at the back of his head, so he wasn't worried, just slightly adjusting his sitting posture. “It wasn’t me.” He looked at Qin Ran seriously and said, “I came to investigate if there’s been anything wrong with you recently.” Chen Jing asked him to check if there was any issue with this person named Qin Ran, but Lu Xin really didn't know how to investigate. So he might as well just ask. Work requires finding the right method to be time-saving, labor-saving, and efficient. “Investigate my problem?” Qin Ran’s eyes turned fierce, his thumb on the gun hooked open the safety, slightly lifted it, and aimed at Lu Xin’s head. His gaze seemed somewhat sinister: “Are you from the Security Bureau?”

“I'm not from the Security Bureau, don't be nervous...” Lu Xin thought about how to put him at ease, but being pointed at with a gun was still somewhat uncomfortable. Moreover, he could tell that this man named Qin Ran, although he looked very calm, was actually in a poor mental state, as if he was always tightly coiled like a spring. Such a person, holding a loaded gun in his hand, no one could guarantee that a single word might not provoke him, causing him to impulsively shoot at himself. Therefore, he glanced at his sister. A strange smile appeared on her face, hidden by her hair. Watching Qin Ran pointing the gun at her brother, she suddenly reached out and flicked Qin Ran's hand. Caught off guard, Qin Ran lost his grip, and the gun flew straight towards Lu Xin. Lu Xin caught the gun, then toggled off the safety, and tucked it into his bag before finally looking up at Qin Ran. “I'm not here to investigate your issues, I'm here to see if you've encountered any problems.” By this time, Qin Ran was already covered in cold sweat, nervously looking around, but he saw no one. Then his gaze fixed firmly on Lu Xin, his voice trembling: “How... how did you do that?” “Don’t ask, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you!” Lu Xin, holding his backpack, asked again: “Have you really encountered anything strange?”

"“I...”" Qin Ran felt inexplicably flustered by his question, especially since he felt that Lu Xin sitting in front of him at this moment was too calm. Clearly, whether it was his appearance or temperament, he looked like an honest and simple young man from the city. But because he was too calm, it made him seem somewhat eerie. If you can't suppress the other person's aura, there's a possibility of being suppressed by them. So he hesitated for a moment, then slowly counter-questioned, "What kind of question?" Lu Xin thought for a while, then slowly said, "Like those several lives?" "You..." Suddenly asked this question, Qin Ran's expression showed obvious panic. Having been unexpectedly disarmed, and in this office, he no longer had a gun, while Lu Xin had two, he should have been somewhat nervous, but unexpectedly, after his panic, he stared intently at Lu Xin, and his face gradually revealed an agitated expression, suddenly cursing loudly, "Damn it, someone indeed understands these matters, I knew it, it couldn't be only me who encountered..." Then he stared intently at Lu Xin, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "I don't know which side you're on, but I... really did encounter it!" Lu Xin also suddenly became a bit nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Qin Ran enunciated each word, and said, "I encountered someone seeking revenge on me!"

Lu Xin was somewhat surprised. For someone like Qin Ran, being sought out for revenge shouldn't be considered anything strange... 'It's not ordinary revenge...' Qin Ran downed a cup of tea that still seemed a bit hot in one gulp, staring intently at Lu Xin. He seemed to have gone through an internal struggle, but in the end, he couldn't overcome the fear in his heart and slowly began to speak: 'It's the kind of thing that no one would believe if it were told...' Seeing the intensity of his emotions, Lu Xin persuaded him, 'Take your time.' Qin Ran slowly exhaled, seemingly trying to read something from Lu Xin's face, but gradually, he deflated. After a while, he said, 'It all started fourteen days ago. I'm not afraid for you to know, my business is not just about hauling goods. There are many people who die in this line of work, and it doesn't make much money, so I do all sorts of things to make money, and the Security Bureau knows about it.' Lu Xin could only nod, pretending to be very understanding. 'It all started with a deal for a pack of Little Bear Pills that day!' The bloodshot veins in Qin Ran's eyes seemed to increase, but his voice sounded somewhat low: 'At that time, I was dealing with Old Cui from the west of the city. This bastard's name is Cui Wang, he specializes in trafficking this stuff. We've cooperated a few times before, but that day, unexpectedly, he came to trade with me alone. That was too fucking naive of him, thinking I was such a good person. How could I let go of this opportunity? So I took care of him...' 'That pack of Little Bear Pills, I took it all back, enough for me to make tens of thousands...' 'Tens of thousands?' Lu Xin was surprised. 'The important part comes next!'

Qin Ran glanced at him and then said, 'I dismembered Lao Cui's body into several pieces and fed it to the stray dogs, thinking that would be the end of it. But unexpectedly, a day later, a woman suddenly showed up. I didn't recognize her at all, but she claimed to be Cui Wang, scolding me for being unscrupulous, demanding I pay for his life with mine, and even insisting I hand over that batch of goods...' Lu Xin's expression changed slightly; he was genuinely intrigued now. 'I had no idea what this woman was up to, so I just treated her as Lao Cui's mistress and dealt with her too!' Qin Ran spat and said, 'The body was mixed into the cement, look, over there, that newly built weighbridge...' Lu Xin listened expressionlessly. Qin Ran continued, 'But afterward, I felt something was off, so I had someone investigate based on the description, and it turned out that the woman's name was Wang Ting, a female worker at a clothing factory in the south of the city. It's said she didn't know Lao Cui at all. Isn't that fucking strange?' Lu Xin could only nod in agreement. 'But the stranger part is yet to come...' As Qin Ran spoke, his expression grew fiercer: 'Two days after that incident, two more people came looking for me, an old man and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little beggar. One claimed to be Cui Wang, and the other claimed to be Wang Ting. Both of them came after me for my life, and despite being surrounded by so many people, they didn't say a word and just started fighting desperately...' As he spoke, he wiped his neck and said, 'They were dealt with too!'

"Four people..." Lu Xin was slightly taken aback. "And then it got even more troublesome..." Qin Ran spoke in a low voice, saying, "I had someone check the identities of these two guys, and it turns out they don't seem to know Old Cui or that woman named Wang Ting at all, but they just showed up, and... and the creepiest part is... is..." As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow, his throat sounding a bit rough: "Four days later, suddenly four more people came, all strangers to me, and... and they just barged into my house and started choking me... Damn it, all four of them, like they were crazy, one claiming to be Old Cui, one saying they were Wang Ting, one saying they were Uncle Zhang, one saying they were Wu Zi... Crazy, they're all fucking crazy, those eyes... especially scary..." Hearing this, Lu Xin finally became somewhat surprised: "What about these people?" "I didn't dare kill these people..." Qin Ran's eyes were red as he spoke softly, "I felt it was too eerie, so I locked them up, but..." He said "but" twice, but didn't continue, just whispered to Lu Xin: "Come with me."
