That night, Kang Xiaozhi, Long Ye, and Ghost Uncle were all sitting at the dinner table waiting for the outcome. We all knew very well that tonight was crucial, with victory or defeat, life or death all riding on this night.

The hotpot broth had all dried up, none of us had touched our chopsticks, our hearts more tormented than the boiling water in the pot.

It was past eleven at night, the phone call with good news never came, but the sound of sirens could be heard.

Before we could react, the police suddenly burst in and arrested everyone.

Sitting once again in the interrogation room at the police station, facing me was the familiar officer Luo Lie, my classmate.

"This time, with the joint operation of police from all over, we have finally completely wiped out Maige's criminal organization, capturing all the members. This wouldn't have been possible without your tacit cooperation..."

When I first sat in this room, I had promised to infiltrate the criminal organization as an undercover agent.

Over the past six months, the trap I set was not just for Maige, but for this large criminal organization, digging a big enough grave to bury their evil deeds.

"The case is closed now, do you have any wishes? As your classmate, I can help you personally fulfill them."

"I want to see my son, is he doing well?"

Luo Lie walked over to me with his phone, opened his photo album and showed me.

"He's doing very well, eats and sleeps well, now he's already eighteen pounds...always whining to be held, making your sister-in-law exhausted..."

Looking at the cute photos of the child on the phone screen, tears streamed down my face.

The hatred I had carried in my life could finally be put down, and all that remained were love, friendship, and purity. I could start over.

Extra Chapter

Thanks to my old classmate Luo Lie, he privately told me that my sister was also an undercover agent for the police, doing the same thing as me three years ago.

After her identity was exposed, she was brutally murdered.

Although the dead can't come back to life, knowing that my sister had always been that just and kind girl, brought me some comfort.

Finally, I tearfully said those words that had been weighing on my heart in front of my sister's tombstone.

"Sister. The things you didn't finish, I've finished them for you. Every single one of those bastards has received the punishment of the law."

Luo Lie also asked me if I wanted to visit Luo Junyu, that enemy who had been my constant companion for five years.

I said it wasn't necessary, all the past old matters had been settled, and I wanted to start a new life.

But at the moment I turned around, I changed my mind.

Perhaps I should go see him, have one last meeting, after all, we both have a common child.

This time, when we met, we were still separated by a thick glass window. Only this time he was inside, and I was outside.

Luo Junyu looked thin and sickly, but when he saw me, a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes, and his face broke into a smile.

He excitedly waved at me, urging me to pick up the receiver, like a dog seeing its owner come home.

At that moment, I suddenly felt that my child had nothing to do with him, and there was nothing much left for me to talk about with Luo Junyu.

Our relationship had become incredibly pure, justice and evil, victim's family and murderer.

I didn't pick up the receiver, turned around, and left. The sound of him banging on the glass window was reminiscent of how I had acted that day.
