It was late at night, and the lights were dim in a secret room in Beijing. Xu Youran and Situ Han sat opposite each other, with all the information about the bank theft case and the recording of the mysterious phone call spread out on the table.

"This phone call... is too weird." Xu Youran frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between the recording equipment and the data.

"Indeed, it seems like a warning, but also like a provocation." Situ Han's fingers tapped the table lightly, making a rhythmic sound, "But no matter what, we have been caught in the center of this storm."

"The beheading case in the Republic of China...is the one that the voice mentioned referring to the S City family massacre case that we have been investigating?" Xu Youran raised the question in his mind.

"It's very likely." Situ Han nodded. "It seems that we not only have to solve the bank theft case in front of us, but also uncover the secret that has been hidden for thirty years."

In order to find the whereabouts of Li Minghui, Xu Youran and Situ Han decided to start with his lost diary. They found that the diary mentioned a mysterious organization called "Dark Night" many times, which seemed to be related to many illegal activities.

With the help of the Beijing police, they retrieved Li Minghui's communication records and bank account transaction information and found that he had frequent financial transactions with an overseas account. The owner of this account is most likely a senior member of the "Dark Night" organization.

"We have to find a way to get close to this person." Xu Youran suggested.

"But direct action is too risky." Situ Han pondered for a moment, "We need a suitable identity as a cover."

So, they carefully designed a plan, with Xu Youran pretending to be a wealthy businessman and contacting the owner of the overseas account under the pretext of seeking investment cooperation, while Situ Han hid in the dark, responsible for monitoring and protecting Xu Youran's safety.

The battle between emotion and reason: a face-to-face confrontation with the suspect

After some twists and turns, Xu Youran finally managed to meet the mysterious figure named "Shadow". In a seemingly ordinary cafe, the two started a fierce negotiation.

Shadow's face was hidden in the shadows, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Ms. Xu, I know your intention very well. But I must remind you that if you become an enemy of Dark Night, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Xu Youran remained calm and responded calmly: "I am just a businessman, pursuing maximum profit. But if what Dark Night does threatens my interests, then I will have to make some necessary counterattacks."

At this moment, Situ Han noticed something strange around him. Several suspicious people were approaching quietly. He immediately warned Xu Youran through the headset and quickly made an evacuation plan.

A thrilling chase ensued. Under Situ Han's cover, Xu Youran, with her extraordinary wisdom and courage, successfully got rid of the pursuer, but the "shadow" disappeared into the night like a ghost.

During the investigation, Xu Youran and Situ Han also kept in touch with the victims' families. Some of them had already lost their loved ones, while others were still struggling to find their missing relatives. The pain and despair of these families deeply touched Xu Youran and Situ Han's hearts.

“We must catch those bastards!” A mother who lost her son said to Xu Youran in tears, “I can’t let my child die in vain!”

Xu Youran held her hand tightly and gave her a firm look: "Please believe us, we will do our best to find out the truth and seek justice for your loved ones."

As the investigation deepens, Xu Youran and Situ Han discover that there seems to be a myriad of connections between the bank theft case, the rape case, and the S City massacre case in the Republic of China. Each case is like a node in this intricate network, and the "Dark Night" organization is the invisible hand that controls everything.

"There must be a huge conspiracy behind these cases." Situ Han analyzed, "We need to find more clues and piece these pieces together."

Just as Xu Youran and Situ Han were preparing to investigate the "Dark Night" organization, they suddenly received an anonymous letter. The letter included an old photo and a vague address information. The person in the photo was a victim of the S City family massacre during the Republic of China period.

"This...is this a new clue?" Xu Youran looked at the photo in his hand in shock.

"It looks like it." Situ Han took the photo and examined it carefully. "The address is in a remote mountain village near S City. We have to rush there immediately."

However, when they arrived at the mountain village, they found that a more bizarre case had occurred there - the "S City Serial Murder Case in the Republic of China". The carefully arranged corpses seemed to be telling the injustice and hatred of thirty years ago...

In a corner of the investigation site, Xu Youran accidentally found a seemingly ordinary jade pendant. She picked it up gently and saw an ancient text engraved on the jade pendant: "The soul of revenge will never close its eyes."

"This...what does this mean?" Xu Youran murmured to himself, feeling an inexplicable chill in his heart.

The jade pendant in Xu Youran's hand glowed coldly under the dim light. The ancient text seemed to have magic power, which made her heart beat faster. She looked up at Situ Han, her eyes full of doubt and uneasiness.

"The soul of revenge will never close its eyes..." Situ Han repeated the words on the jade pendant with a frown, "This is not just a warning, but more like a beginning. It seems that what we are about to uncover is a truth that is far more complicated and cruel than we imagined."

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and the leaves around them rustled, as if countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching them. Xu Youran shuddered involuntarily and held the jade pendant in his hand tighter.

"We have to be careful." Situ Han whispered, his eyes became unusually determined, "No matter what secrets are hidden behind this, we must uncover them one by one and seek justice for those innocent victims."

As the serial murder case in S City in the Republic of China surfaced, Xu Youran and Situ Han found themselves being drawn into a vortex of revenge that spanned time and space. Those seemingly unrelated cases were actually revenge plots carefully planned by the same mastermind.

In order to uncover the truth, they have to go deep into every corner of City S to find clues that have been covered by time. In the process, they not only have to face the brutal murderer, but also uncover the pain in their hearts that they are most reluctant to touch.

The appearance of the vicious female supporting character Su Wanqing makes things even more confusing. She seems to be inextricably linked to all this, but she always manages to escape at the critical moment. What is her true identity? What role does she play in this revenge plan?

As the investigation deepens, Xu Youran and Situ Han gradually discover that this revenge is not only a punishment for individuals, but also a questioning of the justice of the entire society. Can they find the truth in the fog? Can they stop this crazy revenge plan?

All the answers will be revealed in "Shadow of Revenge"...
