"Try to believe, okay? Even if you don't believe in others, can you try to believe in me?" Xie Yuhua hugged Ling Xiao.

"Of course I believe you. Let's go. Aren't we going to give our statements? If we're late, the police will think we're fleeing to avoid punishment," Ling Xiao joked.

After Ling Xiao opened the door, he saw several people looking at him at the same time. The fat man was the first to approach him and ask, "Lingzi, tell me, did you eat that Corpse Beetle Pill?"

Ling Xiao looked at the fat man and knew what he was thinking. He readily admitted, "I didn't eat it. Qin Feng gave me the heart of a forbidden woman before. Maybe something was left behind back then. Now it's acting up. My hair can grow very long, and my nails are growing faster and faster. I'm afraid I'll become a forbidden woman, so I'm practicing in advance."

"That's good, that's good... No, what do you mean by practicing in advance? You brat! Why do you have to do this to yourself?" The fat man grabbed Ling Xiao's ear.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I'm already deaf." The fat man pinched him with a sense of proportion, so it wasn't really painful, but Ling Xiao just loved to tease the fat man and was willing to put on a show.

Upon hearing this, the fat man's eyes turned red with envy, and he quickly let go of his hand, saying, "Always put your safety first, and trust your brothers more. We're not pushovers, and you're not called brothers for nothing!"

"Thank you, Fatty."

Jieyuhua brought Lingxiao and Wuxie to the police station. Although it was late at night, the entire police station was crowded with people because so many people were involved. The suspects could not be traced back to the three people. They were only asked to give a supplementary statement and confirm the time of their medical visit before being released.

A major reason is that most people here have mental illnesses, and the police are afraid to provoke them, so they are very gentle. After all, who would go to see a psychologist if they weren't sick?

It's not that the matter is over once the supplementary statement is completed. There can't be any major moves in the next few days, so Ling Xiao decided to take Jieyuhua and Wuxie to stay at the villa. This was something they had discussed when they came. The address should be in the villa area, since the courtyard houses are full of unregistered residents who can't be checked.

Upon entering the villa, all the flowers in the yard were withered, and even the doorknobs were covered in dust, indicating that no one had taken care of them for a long time.

Cheng Xiaoli no longer lives here. She has kept the place very clean, and the entire villa is empty. The furniture is covered with plastic wrap, as if she knew Ling Xiao would come back and prepared it specially.

Ling Xiao quickly and easily tidied up the two rooms, and even though the sheets were covered with plastic wrap, he still changed them with new ones.

"Are you feeling better?" As they lay in bed, Xie Yuhua hugged him.

"I'm not unhappy."

"Your mouth is so full of saliva you could practically hang an oil bottle from it, and your whole face screams: 'I'm unhappy, come and comfort me.'"

Ling Xiao turned his body around, with his back to Xie Yuhua, took out his phone, and started playing Minesweeper.

"Child, please believe me, okay? I really, really won't hurt you."

Please try to believe me just this once, give me a chance, okay? Even though Jieyuhua knew he couldn't hear her, she still whispered it in his ear several times.

On one of the occasions, Ling Xiao's phone screen went black, and the image of Xie Yuhua was reflected on the screen. Although it was blurry, he could still vaguely make out what Xie Yuhua was saying.

Does he not trust Jieyuhua? Ling Xiao reflected. No, on the contrary, he trusts each and every one of them. It's just that he trusts himself even more. If he completely trusted them, he would feel insecure, and the thought of it even terrified him.
