Chapter 1593: Xu Haohao, Farewell

Feng Huaimu bent his legs, his weak hands still gripping the yellowed old photograph tightly.

Xu Haohao muttered inwardly about how slow the international response was, then heard Feng Huaimu suddenly speak: "Su Li’s biological parents live in M Country."

Xu Haohao felt her scalp tingle, looking at Feng Huaimu with extreme tension: "Her biological parents? Feng Huaimu, did you find Su Li’s biological parents? What exactly are you trying to do?"

Feng Huaimu smiled and said, "I’ve been there already, didn’t do anything or harm them, just asked a few questions."

Xu Haohao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Feng Huaimu asked, "Does Haohao believe in the afterlife?"

Xu Haohao was about to say she didn’t, but considering Feng Huaimu’s long-standing obsession, she could only nod: "Whether or not I believe, I do now."

Isn’t it just for his unattainable desire?

Feng Huaimu curled his pale lips, saying: "Haohao thinks death is a terrifying thing, but I’ve lived too long, and death for me is a mundane occurrence."

Xu Haohao wanted to curse him. Does he think death is so commonplace, is that his reason for taking others’ lives?

"So in this life, I wronged you. Can you promise me the next one?"

Xu Haohao looked at him bewildered, "You... What do you mean? I’ve told you, you deserve to die but I won’t kill! You should leave..."

He smiled: "Promise me, will you?"

In the middle of the night, Xu Haohao was terribly scared of Feng Huaimu, her hands and feet icy, biting her lip finally and said: "How about... How about you accompany me back to Hua Country and surrender!"

Though if he surrendered in Hua Country, he would definitely be sentenced to death, as it wasn’t just one life he harmed.

Feng Huaimu’s breathing was slightly heavy, his reddened eyes staring directly at her: "Promise me."

Xu Haohao nodded stiffly, mumbling: "Okay, I promise you. You... You come back to Hua Country with me, go back and surrender!"

Feng Huaimu then stood up at that moment, opened her bedroom door, clutching his arm and stumbling his way outside, his voice as light as a feather: "Xu Haohao, goodbye."

Xu Haohao chased after him, seeing a large golden retriever asleep at the door, sleeping soundly and drooling, as Feng Huaimu opened the door and left.

Outside, no streetlights were visible, so she could only vaguely see that silhouette gradually disappearing.

Her heart felt slightly uneasy.

Feng Huaimu was acting strangely.

Promised him the next life...

If in the next life he didn’t make mistakes?

Xu Haohao dared not think too much, only feeling it was too much like science fiction.

Feng Huaimu left, and later the police came to conduct an investigation and assured her they would quickly catch the burglar who had broken in, then left.

Xu Haohao sat dumbly on the sofa alone, watching as the bloodstains on the floor gradually coagulated and dried, watching the golden retriever wake up, watching the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window change from black to a golden hue.

It became daylight.

She sat alone on the sofa for the entire night.

Mentally still high-strung, but physically exhausted. After careful consideration, Xu Haohao decided to take a leave from work and rest properly at home today.

All these years without seeing him, Feng Huaimu’s sudden appearance last night made Xu Haohao feel incredibly uneasy.

She didn’t sleep soundly during the day either, until midday, when she heard a knocking on the door.

Xu Haohao remembered that her prospective roommate was coming, having seen the message just now, they just got off the plane.

This house was her purchase, but living alone was scary, so she invited a couple of roommates.
