Perhaps Shen Weimin's blunt force approach had worked. Upon returning from school that day, Xu Changqing heard that Bai Xiulian had left for the county town without waiting for Bai Chenggang.
She'd picked up this rumor on her way home, overhearing her grandfather in the team courtyard. He had mentioned it in passing while talking about how his grandson-in-law had already returned to the county town.
'That woman!'
'Such an insignificant nobody, someone hardly anyone ever paid attention to. And yet, she was the one who had murdered her second sister and abducted Bai Mi.'
Xu Changqing didn't press for details. Even though her uncle was right there in the team courtyard office, she had no desire to go in and ask him how he felt now that he knew the truth.
''Every debt has a debtor, every injustice a source.' Besides, her uncle hadn't even been home when the tragedy first struck. He was probably the one in the most difficult position now.'
