Chapter 1905: Chapter 1904: He’s Downstairs
After a long while, Lu Zhiyan finally said coolly, “It’s not impossible.”
There were many things Meng Ke knew.
He definitely didn’t say everything. If some people don’t want him to speak, they might silence him.
However, this is just a possibility.
“Meng Ke has done so many bad things, he’s certainly facing a life sentence, why waste resources?”
A person like him couldn’t possibly change for the better.
Mo Xiuchen glanced at Luo Haofeng and said nonchalantly, “Meng Ke won’t have any opportunities in the short term. Few people know about what happened back then, Jiang Hui wouldn’t dare to talk about it.”
In other words, Luo Haofeng needed to deal with the Qi family father and son.
And his mother, Wu Jingfang.
Luo Haofeng’s expression changed and reluctantly brought up Wu Jingfang, “Neither she nor the Qi family father and son can escape. My dad collected some evidence of her old crimes long ago, and the Qi family father and son were also involved in quite a bit…”
Now, Wu Jingfang and the Qi family father and son have already been apprehended by the police.
Mo Xiuchen’s face showed a trace of surprise, after a moment of silence, he said faintly, “That’s good.”
Luo Haofeng sneered, “Originally, I was thinking of erasing her memory, but evidently, my dad thought that was too merciful.”
No matter what outcome Wu Jingfang faces, it was her own doing.
The last bit of familial affection in his heart was also worn away by Wu Jingfang.
Now, even when he mentions her, he doesn’t feel sad.
“Everyone has to be responsible for what they do.”
No matter what, Mo Xiuchen still didn’t want Luo Haofeng to feel sad because of Wu Jingfang.
“Now she’s just a stranger to me,”
Luo Haofeng, of course, knew Mo Xiuchen’s concerns and care, and he forced a smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao went to sleep early tonight because she didn’t take a nap at noon, and she unknowingly fell asleep listening to music in the evening.
Waking up thirsty, she got out of bed to pour herself a glass of water.
After drinking the water and returning from the bathroom, she found it hard to fall back asleep, so she went to the window, pulled aside a corner of the curtain, and looked at the moonlight in the sky.
The moonlight was like water, adding a touch of softness and coolness to this summer night.
Through the glass window, it shone on her face, making her delicate and fair cheek appear even softer.
The air carried a faint floral fragrance.
She withdrew her gaze from the sky and looked at the half-open window beside her, where the fragrance and night breeze were blowing in.
She took a step closer and opened the window a bit more.
The cool night breeze blew on her face, and Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively closed her eyes, the richer floral scent lingering around her nose, completely dispelling her sleepiness.
A black sedan was parked outside the villa by the roadside.
The car window was half-lowered, and a man sat quietly in the driver’s seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding a lit cigarette between his fingers.
The long arm draped over the lowered window, with the cigarette outside the car, the faint smell of smoke diffusing into the air.
His deep, narrow eyes stared out the window at some unknown spot, suddenly brightening, originally aimless and unfocused gaze gathering in front of a certain second-floor window.
His eyes stared unblinkingly at the silhouette in front of the window.
In his once dark and lifeless eyes, waves of tenderness, longing, heartache, and countless other emotions appeared.
He didn’t actually expect to see Xiaoxiao when he came here tonight.
Because he came late and seeing that Xiaoxiao’s window wasn’t lit, he didn’t feel disappointed, but rather reassured.
At least Xiaoxiao was sleeping on time and not staying up late.
But just a few minutes ago, her window suddenly lit up.
He didn’t think much of it, thinking she might just be up for water or something.
He didn’t expect Xiaoxiao to come to the window; she didn’t see him, or rather, she didn’t look in his direction.
She was probably gazing at the blooming flowers under her window because, with the light on, Luo Haofeng couldn’t see the soft expression on her face.
She closed her eyes, breathing in the fresh air outside the window.
And inside the car, he greedily watched her, afraid that in the next moment, she would suddenly turn away.
While he was absorbed in watching, Bai Xiaoxiao’s gaze suddenly turned in his direction, Luo Haofeng’s heart skipped a beat, yet his gaze was stuck like it was glued, unable to look away.
Their gazes met in mid-air.
Bai Xiaoxiao stood in the light, while Luo Haofeng was hiding in the shadows, even if Bai Xiaoxiao saw Luo Haofeng and recognized him, she couldn’t clearly make out his expression.
However, Luo Haofeng saw the shock in her eyes clearly.
His fingers on the steering wheel suddenly tightened, the cigarette between his fingers snapping and falling to the ground.
He himself was unaware, just staring tightly at the silhouette on the second floor, a deep sense of tension rising inside him.
He had a bad feeling that Xiaoxiao would soon turn and leave.
Yet he wanted to look at her a few seconds longer, even if it was from afar, it would satisfy him.
On the second floor, when Bai Xiaoxiao saw the person downstairs, her breath suddenly caught.
For a moment, she incredulously stared downstairs.
Thinking she was seeing things or hallucinating, how could he arrive under her house so late at night?
She blinked, and blinked again.
It wasn’t a hallucination.
He really was outside her house, without knowing when he came.
Without knowing how long he’d been there watching.
A sudden surge of bitterness rose in Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart, she only felt extremely sad.
She had sent him a message through Wen Ran, why did he still come to her house?
She wanted to turn and leave immediately, but her feet seemed rooted, unable to move.
Unconsciously echoing in her ears were the words Luo Haofeng said that afternoon, and the pain in his eyes when she left.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s heart ached once more.
Her heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making her breath feel labored.
Already unable to see the person downstairs clearly, and as her vision unknowingly blurred, she could see even less.
Firmly closing her eyes, then gritting her teeth, she turned away from the window.
Not wanting to think about whether the person downstairs would be disappointed after she turned away.
Turning off the light and lying back in bed, Bai Xiaoxiao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep again, closing her eyes she could still see that person sitting in the car downstairs.
Her aching heart didn’t calm down.
Instead, sadness surged like tides, wave after wave hitting her sensitive and fragile nerves, yet as tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, she couldn’t truly become ruthless.
Getting up again, she grabbed the phone on the small table by the bed, struggling for a few seconds while looking toward the window, trembling as she typed out a message.
Watching as the message was sent, Bai Xiaoxiao put down the phone and lay back flat on the bed.
