Just as they were about to leave, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and they were discovered. Several gangsters rushed forward and surrounded them. Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran realized the situation was bad, but they did not back down; instead, they bravely faced the gangsters.
"Who are you? What are you doing in our territory?" a gangster asked menacingly.
"We were just passing by and accidentally went to the wrong place," Chen Ran replied calmly.
"Where do you think this is? You think you can just walk away like this?" another gangster sneered.
At this moment, Hua Xiaoyu noticed a watch on the wrist of one of the gangsters. She recognized it immediately; it belonged to one of the accident victims. The watch had been found at the accident scene but had been deliberately concealed.
Hua Xiaoyu's heart raced; she realized this was an opportunity to uncover the truth.
"This watch belongs to the person who died in the accident," Hua Xiaoyu said firmly, pointing to the gangster's watch. "You're involved in that accident, aren't you?"
The gangsters' expressions changed; they clearly hadn't expected Hua Xiaoyu to say that. They exchanged glances, seemingly exchanging some kind of opinion.
"Don't even think about covering up the truth anymore," Hua Xiaoyu continued. "We already know the truth about the accident, and you can't escape it."
One of the gangsters suddenly laughed. He walked up to Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran and said in a low voice, "What do you think you know? There are many things in this world that ordinary people like you can't possibly know."
His words sent a chill down Hua Xiaoyu's spine, but she still looked firmly at the underworld figure and said, "Nothing can justify your crimes. You must pay the price for your crimes."
The gangster seemed enraged by Hua Xiaoyu's words. He suddenly punched Chen Ran in the face, knocking him to the ground. Hua Xiaoyu cried out in alarm and tried to rush over to help Chen Ran, but was blocked by the other gangsters.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to us like that?" the gangster sneered. "Today I'll show you what I'm capable of."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran were brutally beaten by gangsters, suffering excruciating pain. However, they did not give in; instead, they supported each other and faced these gangsters together.
"We will not let you get away with this," Hua Xiaoyu said firmly through gritted teeth. "The truth will surely come to light."
The gangsters ignored Hua Xiaoyu's words and continued beating her and Chen Ran. Suddenly, the door to the private room was flung open, and a mysterious figure barged in.
"Stop!" the mysterious figure shouted. "What are you doing?"
The gangsters were startled by the sudden appearance of the mysterious figure and stopped beating him. Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran took the opportunity to break free of their restraints and stand up.
A mysterious figure stepped forward, carefully examining Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran. He looked very young, dressed in a black suit and wearing a black mask, revealing only a pair of bright, piercing eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" the mysterious figure asked.
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran exchanged a glance and decided to conceal their identities for the time being.
"We were just passing by and accidentally went to the wrong place," Chen Ran replied.
"Do you think this is some kind of place? You think you can just come and go as you please?" the mysterious man asked.
At this moment, a gangster stepped forward and whispered to the mysterious figure, "They're here to cause trouble, to escalate things."
Chapter 77: Covering Up the Truth
The mysterious figure remained silent for a moment, then said to Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran, "You two should leave this place quickly and never come back."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran left the private room without hesitation. They walked out of the casino and returned to the street.
"Who was that person?" Chen Ran asked. "Why did he save us?"
Hua Xiaoyu shook her head. "I don't know either, but we should be careful and not trust strangers easily."
The two returned to their residence. Hua Xiaoyu's injuries were quite serious, and she needed to rest for a while.
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran returned to their residence. Hua Xiaoyu's injuries were quite serious, and she needed to rest for a while. Chen Ran took meticulous care of her, and their relationship deepened even more during this incident.
During her recovery, Hua Xiaoyu kept thinking about the mysterious man's identity and purpose. She knew that there were many unknown secrets and forces in this world, and the truth behind that accident also involved many unknown secrets.
“We must continue our investigation,” Hua Xiaoyu said to Chen Ran. “I have a feeling that the mysterious figure is somehow connected to that accident.”
Chen Ran nodded. "I feel the same way. But we need to be careful. Those underworld figures and mysterious people are not easy to deal with."
A few days later, Hua Xiaoyu's injuries improved, and she and Chen Ran began investigating the connection between the mysterious man and the accident. They first went to the accident scene and carefully examined it, hoping to find some clues.
At the accident scene, Hua Xiaoyu found a watch, the one belonging to the deceased. She noticed that the watchband was badly worn, indicating it had been worn for a long time. This watch reminded Hua Xiaoyu of the same model worn by the underworld figure.
“There’s something wrong with this watch,” Hua Xiaoyu said, pointing to it. “I suspect this watch belonged to the person who died in the accident, but it was switched.”
Chen Ran examined the watch closely and noticed a small scratch on the dial. He immediately understood what was going on.
“This scratch is from the watch of the person who died in the accident, but the watch was deliberately replaced,” Chen Ran said. “It seems that this watch is a key clue.”
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran decided to find the underworld figure and expose the truth. They arrived at the figure's hideout and found him with other underworld figures.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" the gangster asked warily.
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran didn't answer his question. Instead, they took out the watch and asked, "Is this your watch?"
The gangster was taken aback, clearly not expecting them to find the watch. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, this is my watch."
..... ..... ...
"And what about this scratch?" Hua Xiaoyu asked, pointing to the scratch on the watch.
The gangster's expression changed, clearly realizing something. He didn't answer Hua Xiaoyu's question, but instead said to the other gangsters, "Throw them out."
Other gangsters immediately rushed forward, trying to grab Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran. But they were no match for them, and Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran easily dodged their attacks.
"Don't even think about covering up the truth anymore," Hua Xiaoyu said firmly. "We already know the truth about the accident, and you can't escape it."
The gangster's expression changed; he realized that Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran already knew the truth, and he began to panic.
Chapter 78; A cornered dog will jump over the wall
He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran.
"Stop asking questions and get out of here!" the gangster roared. "Otherwise, I won't be polite."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran exchanged a glance; they knew they couldn't fight the gangsters head-on. They quickly left the gangsters' hideout and returned to their residence.
“We must call the police as soon as possible,” Hua Xiaoyu said. “That gangster known as ‘553’ has become desperate and we must stop him from escaping.”
Chen Ran nodded. "I agree with you. However, we need to be careful. That gangster already knows who we are, and he will definitely retaliate against us."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran discussed it and decided to go find the mysterious figure first, hoping he could provide some help. They arrived at the casino where the mysterious figure was located, but were stopped by the casino staff.
“You can’t go in,” the casino staff said. “This is not a place for you.”
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran didn't give up; they waited outside the casino for the mysterious figure to appear. Finally, the mysterious figure appeared, saw Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran, and walked over.
"What are you doing here again?" the mysterious figure asked.
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran told the mysterious figure the truth about the accident and the underworld figures, hoping he could offer his help. The mysterious figure was silent for a moment, then said, "I can help you, but I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?" Hua Xiaoyu asked.
"I need your help to investigate the truth behind an accident," the mysterious figure said. "This accident is closely related to me, but I haven't been able to find the truth. I hope you can help me."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran discussed it and decided to agree to the mysterious figure's request first, and then consider his conditions after the matter was resolved. They followed the mysterious figure to a secluded place where a black sedan was parked.
"Get in the car," the mysterious figure said. "I'll take you to see someone."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran got into the car, which sped through the night. They didn't know where they were going or who they were going to see. They could only wait silently, hoping everything would go smoothly.
The car stopped in front of an abandoned factory, and the mysterious figure led Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran inside. ... The factory was pitch black, with only a few dim lights illuminating the surroundings. They walked through a long corridor and arrived at an office.
"The people inside are the relatives of the victims of the accident," the mysterious figure said. "They are hiding here, hoping to find out the truth about the accident."
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran pushed open the door and went inside, where they saw a middle-aged woman and a young girl. Their faces were filled with sadness and pain, clearly still grieving for the victims of the accident.
"Who are you?" the middle-aged woman asked, puzzled.
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran told the middle-aged woman and the girl their identities and purpose, as well as the details of the accident that killed 2.5 people and the gangsters. The middle-aged woman and the girl were clearly shocked, not expecting such a truth.
"Thank you," the middle-aged woman said. "We always thought the accidental death was accidental, but we never imagined there was such a truth behind it. We will definitely cooperate with you to uncover the truth."
Chapter 79: The Change in the Hotel's Back Garden
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran were very relieved, knowing their actions had received support. They decided to stay and continue investigating the truth behind the accident. Over the next few days, Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran, along with the middle-aged woman and the girl, investigated the deceased's life and the circumstances of the accident. They discovered the deceased was an ordinary office worker with no special background. However, the deceased had taken leave from work to attend a mysterious party. This party was closely related to the cause of death.
“We have to go to that party,” Hua Xiaoyu said. “Maybe there will be some clues there.”
After some twists and turns, Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran finally found the hotel where the party was being held. Disguised as waiters, they sneaked into the hotel's banquet hall. The banquet hall was bustling with activity; people were dressed in their finest attire, raising their glasses in celebration. Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran searched for clues, their attention finally settling on the organizer of the party.
The organizer was a middle-aged man who appeared calm and collected, but Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran sensed unease in his eyes. They decided to follow him to see if they could uncover anything.
The middle-aged man left the banquet hall and walked to the hotel's back garden. He took out his phone and started talking to someone. Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran cautiously approached, trying to hear their conversation.
"Is everything arranged?" the middle-aged man asked.
The person on the other end of the phone replied, "Yes, everything is under control. Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran exchanged a glance, realizing that this middle-aged man might be connected to the cause of death of the accident victim. Just as they were about to follow him further, the middle-aged man suddenly turned around and spotted them.
"Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked warily.
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran remained calm. They identified themselves and inquired about the middle-aged man's relationship with the deceased. The man initially refused to answer, but relented only after Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran explained that they knew he was connected to the cause of death.
“I am a good friend of the deceased in the accident.” The middle-aged man sighed. “He was a good person, and I don’t understand why this happened.”
Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran pressed the man further, and he finally revealed what had happened to the deceased at the party. It turned out that the deceased had drunk poisoned wine at the party and tragically died from it. The middle-aged man stated that he was also a victim and did not know the motive or identity of the perpetrator.
"I must find the murderer," Hua Xiaoyu said firmly. "We can't let this tragedy happen again."
Chen Ran agreed, and they decided to continue their in-depth investigation into the truth of the accident. Over the next few days, Hua Xiaoyu and Chen Ran searched for evidence everywhere, contacting the deceased's colleagues and relatives, hoping to find more clues. They discovered that the deceased was a very kind and upright person, and his passing was a great loss to many.
