"Wuwu, I really didn't mean to..."
Wan Manyu was so frightened that she collapsed onto the ground, covering her face and crying uncontrollably. She never expected things to escalate to this point...
Hou Bing held her tightly, his cold gaze fixed on Cheng Kai lying on the carpet, watching as the last trace of his breath slowly vanished...
"What should we do..."
Wan Manyu was in a panic, completely at a loss. Hou Bing pulled her up and sat her beside him on the sofa, saying seriously, "You need to calm down first. I'll handle him, okay?"
Wan Manyu looked flustered and fearful, "But I'm scared. We... we should call the police..."
"Manyu, Manyu, listen to me. This isn't your fault. Cheng Kai deserves this. So, no one must ever know about this, do you understand?" Hou Bing grabbed her arms, shaking her trembling body, and said sternly.
"But he..."
"Don't worry about it, I'll handle it," Hou Bing replied.
Wan Manyu looked at him with wide, fearful eyes. Seeing him say this, she could only nod...
Then Hou Bing got up, looked at Cheng Kai lying on the floor, and asked, "Do you have any large suitcases?"
"Yes, yes..."
As she spoke, Wan Manyu went upstairs, found a very large suitcase, and brought it down. But Hou Bing looked at it and said, "This won't fit. How about this, I'll go buy a suitcase. If you're scared, go up to the second floor first..."
"No, A Bing, don't go..."
Wan Manyu became anxious. Hou Bing said seriously, "Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon..."
So Hou Bing immediately went out through the small back door of the villa. This was precisely when Tian Xingchang happened to encounter him that night, at exactly 8:12 PM. Tian Xingchang left the villa complex at 8:27 PM.
This meant Hou Bing left the villa complex first, went to a nearby shopping mall, and coincidentally ran into a man selling a very large suitcase. Hou Bing paid a high price to buy the suitcase from him, then spent half an hour to quietly return to the villa again.
"A Bing..."
Wan Manyu was excited to see Hou Bing return. She couldn't bear to look at Cheng Kai lying on the carpet in the living room, so she went upstairs and suffered for three hours.
"Don't be afraid, I'll handle it."
After comforting her, Hou Bing immediately opened the suitcase and began to stuff Cheng Kai inside...
Wan Manyu, standing nearby, was incredibly tense and scared, unsure of what to do...
Soon, Hou Bing had curled Cheng Kai's entire body and stuffed him into the suitcase. He then pulled out the fruit knife from Cheng Kai's chest. Instantly, Cheng Kai's body twitched twice, proving he wasn't dead yet...
Immediately, Hou Bing closed the suitcase and zipped it up. He then turned to look at the carpet on the floor. After moving the coffee table, he rolled up the bloody carpet. Where Cheng Kai had been lying, the floor was already stained red with blood. "Go get a mop and some detergent to clean it. I'll buy some disinfectant tomorrow, then the bloodstains won't be visible."
"Okay..."
Wan Manyu quickly went to get the mop and detergent and cleaned up all the bloodstains on the floor...
Hou Bing inspected everything carefully. He also collected the ashtray that Wan Manyu had used to hit Cheng Kai on the head and took it with him. He then directly took it out to the yard, opened the trunk of Cheng Kai's car, placed the ashtray and the carpet inside, and then moved the suitcase in...
Fortunately, Hou Bing had some training, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to move Cheng Kai's 180-pound frame...
"Where... where are you going?"
Wan Manyu ran out. Hou Bing turned and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm going to take care of him. I might be back very late."
"Okay, then, you... you be careful..." Wan Manyu was flustered and scared, afraid that the man would get into more trouble.
"You clean up the living room first. You can get a new carpet tomorrow..."
Hou Bing stepped forward, hugged Wan Manyu, and knowing she was scared, said, "For Wan'er, we have to do this. Do you understand?"
"Mm, I'll listen to you..."
Wan Manyu shed tears. The man was her pillar of support.
Then, Hou Bing drove Cheng Kai's car and went straight out the main gate...
This was why, later, when Wan Yunting and others checked the surveillance footage from the main gate of the villa complex, they saw Cheng Kai's car leaving the complex at 9:30 PM and heading directly towards the suburbs.
This was also why, later, according to the Sky Net surveillance, Cheng Kai's car disappeared outside the suburbs for about an hour. It reappeared on the highway to Shenzhen at 1:18 AM, arriving in the Shajian district of Shenzhen. He then drove around several times before disappearing on a road without surveillance cameras.
This was because Hou Bing found a section of road without cameras and directly drove Cheng Kai's car into a pond in the suburbs.
Then he called a car and went directly from Shenzhen back to Huadu, where he then dealt with Cheng Kai's body...
However, Hou Bing concealed from the police that Cheng Kai's true initial scene of death was in his own home!
At this moment, Wan Yunting, sitting on the living room sofa and frowning while smoking, was precisely because he had guessed some of this that he had kept it from Pang Yuan and Zhou Dong.
Because he knew, this was the outcome Hou Bing wanted!
His phone rang. It was his second brother, Wan Dongming, who had just found out about the matter...
"Mm, I'm at my sister's place now. She's already asleep," Wan Yunting replied.
"What exactly happened?" Wan Dongming didn't know that his elder sister and Hou Bing had maintained contact over the years.
So Wan Yunting briefly explained it to him, but didn't reveal the truth that his elder sister had killed Cheng Kai.
"Sigh, I didn't expect something like this to happen..."
Wan Dongming sighed at home. Wan Yunting said, "Alright, second brother, don't overthink it. Go get some rest. I'll take care of our elder sister."
"Okay, third brother. Take good care of elder sister. We'll come see her tomorrow morning."
"Mm..."
After the brothers hung up, Wan Yunting saw a WeChat message from Su Ke'er and replied to her a few times, telling her to sleep early. He then tossed his phone onto the coffee table, leaned back on the sofa, and smoked, listening to the thunder and rain outside. The living room was exceptionally quiet...
The next morning at seven o'clock.
"Third Uncle..."
Wan'er, who had woken up early, pounced on Wan Yunting, who had fallen asleep on the sofa. He woke up instantly, "Wan'er, you're up so early."
"Because I slept early last night."
Wan'er was still wearing a pink nightgown, her hair messy. She lay on Wan Yunting's lap and giggled, pointing at him, "Third Uncle is a piggy dad, he snores when he sleeps..."
"Then do you snore..."
Wan Yunting picked her up and sat her on his lap. Wan'er tilted her little head and looked at him, smiling cutely, "I'm a girl, I don't snore."
Looking at her soft, pink little face, Wan Yunting couldn't help but pinch it and laugh, "Isn't your mom awake yet?"
"Not yet. I'll go wake her up..."
"No, your mom was very tired last night. Let her sleep a little longer."
"Okay." Wan'er nodded obediently, then said, "Third Uncle, I'm hungry."
"Hungry? Then I'll make you breakfast."
Wan Yunting put her down, got up, and went to the kitchen.
"Yay..."
Wan'er followed Wan Yunting like a little shadow. She opened the refrigerator, "Third Uncle, take a look at the ingredients first. I'll show you my skills."
Wan'er's big eyes were filled with doubt as she asked, "Third Uncle, can you cook?"
Wan Yunting turned to look at her and gave a wry smile, "No."
"Then we're doomed. I'm going to starve."
Wan'er pouted her lips and patted her little stomach, looking extremely cute.
Wan Yunting laughed, "Don't worry, Third Uncle won't let you starve. It definitely won't be too bad."
"Okay."
Wan'er giggled and nodded, then watched as Wan Yunting took out eggs, two tomatoes, and some noodles from the refrigerator. "Third Uncle will make you some tomato and egg noodle soup..."
So he started tinkering in the kitchen...
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom on the second floor, Wan Manyu, who was still asleep, had a look of fear and then pain on her face, as if she was having a nightmare. Finally, she cried out, "No..." and woke up, covered in sweat, her eyes wide open, her body trembling uncontrollably. Clearly, the nightmare had terrified her severely...
After two minutes, Wan Manyu calmed down. She looked around, then got out of bed and went to her daughter's room. To her surprise, Wan'er wasn't there, and Wan Manyu's heart suddenly panicked. She called out, "Wan'er, Wan'er, where are you..."
As she hurried downstairs, she heard the clanging of pots and pans from the kitchen. When Wan Manyu arrived, she saw Wan Yunting, wearing a cooking apron, standing at the stove, stir-frying something. Wan'er was sitting on a high stool nearby, her big, dark eyes fixed on the tomato and egg noodle soup boiling in the pot...
"What are you doing?"
Wan Manyu couldn't help but ask.
"Mom..."
"Sister, you're awake,"
Wan Yunting turned around and looked at Wan Manyu, who had come in and picked up Wan'er. He smiled, "Seeing you weren't awake, I made breakfast for Wan'er. It'll be ready soon."
Looking at the tomato and egg noodle soup he had made, the broth was dark and murky, and she couldn't tell how much soy sauce he had put in. Wan Yunting took a sip, and his face instantly turned green, "It's really bad..."
This scene made Wan'er laugh. Wan Manyu then said, "Okay, Yunting, take Wan'er out. I'll do it."
"Alright, I won't make myself suffer."
Wan Yunting took off the apron, handed it to Wan Manyu, picked up Wan'er, and said, "Let's go, we'll play in the yard..."
Seeing this scene, Wan Manyu felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that her third brother had been taking care of her and her daughter all night. However, thinking of Hou Bing's situation made her emotions very low...
