"Of course it matters, Lin Chuxia. Do you know how I’ve been living these days? Like a stray dog, without even a place to rest, unable to even set up a stall to do a little business, all because I told you some facts. That good dog you raised is chasing me like a madman, even though I’m a victim too. If it weren’t for Lin Jiayi, my life wouldn’t be like this, yet Gu Peng blames everything on me. In my past life, he clung to me relentlessly, and in this life, I’ve suffered enough, yet he keeps suppressing me. If I can’t have a good life, then neither should anyone else..."
His words grew more intense, and he stood up.
Lin Chuxia finally understood why Li Guangyuan suddenly went berserk.
It seems that Gu Peng has been causing him quite a bit of trouble lately.
Understanding Gu Peng’s methods, if he wants to target someone, he can absolutely make them wish for death.
"Li Guangyuan, don’t you just want to return to the starting point? I’ll go with you, just leave the child aside; from beginning to end, this has nothing to do with the child," Lin Chuxia stepped forward once more.
Qin Yang also stepped forward, "Since I’m one of the people in the bureau, count me in."
"Deputy Minister Qin, forget it. Bring you along? I don’t want another enemy. But this child is not innocent either; she shouldn’t have even been born into this world. Lin Chuxia, since you agreed, I’ll leave first. Better hurry, or you won’t catch up with me..."
"No!"
Lin Chuxia watched his actions, eyes wide with rage.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from nearby, rushing straight at Li Guangyuan.
That person, with blinding speed, snatched the child from Li Guangyuan’s grasp, only managing to yell "Catch!" before, due to inertia, disappearing off the building’s edge along with Li Guangyuan.
Qin Yang swiftly moved forward, catching the thrown Qi Qi.
Qi Qi was still wailing, feeling even more wronged upon seeing her father.
Lin Chuxia’s gaze, however, was fixed tightly on the direction the two vanished.
That was Gu Peng.
When did he arrive?
They fell together!
People around quickly sprang into action, some rushed to Qin Yang’s side to check on the child, others went to the edge of the building to look.
There were louder sounds from downstairs.
Sharp screams, chaotic shouting, and the sound of sirens...

Office of the Director of the City Public Security Bureau
He JianShe poured a cup of water for Lin Chuxia, speaking with concern, "Was the child frightened?"
Lin Chuxia took the water, "She was okay, but cried for quite a long time that day, and her voice was hoarse. After resting at home, her spirits have returned mostly."
He JianShe nodded, "I think letting your father take a look would be more reassuring, yet you said to keep it from your father. If the old man hears about it from someone else one day, he’ll be asking me for explanations again."
Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, "Then tomorrow I’ll take Qi Qi to see Master first and have him take a look at Qi Qi too. My mother’s spirit has been off lately as well, and I want him to check her over."
Qi Qi has a big heart. Though she cried out of fright that day, she calmed down after being held by her father.
But it’s Mother who has been feeling guilty for putting the child in such danger, especially after learning of Li Guangyuan’s death. Her mind has been uneasy these days.
She refuses to go to the hospital, saying it’s nothing. She absolutely doesn’t want to go.
Having Master check her over is good for adjusting things.
He JianShe handed Lin Chuxia some documents, "Here are the investigation results. No wonder Li Guangyuan took such extreme measures. Investigation shows that his life hasn’t been easy lately. His night market stand was smashed, and rent increased on his rented home, forcing him to move back to his old home. Recently, news from Hai City came that his two sisters and ex-wife were apprehended for prostitution. His mother suffered a stroke upon hearing this. When word spread in the village, Li Guangyuan couldn’t lift his head there. To speak of this, Gu Peng indeed has his ways. He didn’t seem involved in any of it, yet my intuition tells me he had something to do with each incident."
He, as a police officer, certainly must focus on evidence.
But as a retired soldier, he has an exceptionally keen intuition.
However, he could only privately mention this to his fellow disciple, as he couldn’t make ungrounded conclusions without evidence.
"Probably the pressure of life was too much, leading him to thoughts of revenge against society..."
He JianShe, despite his keenness, couldn’t anticipate a rebirth in life.
Lin Chuxia understood quite well.
In their past life, Li Guangyuan was successful, revered as President Li.
