Live fortune telling: Sending a top star to prison right from the start.

The food was served hot and steaming, and its aroma filled the room.

The Xue family sat together, their laughter filling the air.

Xue Liang looked at them, forcing a smile, but his heart was a jumble of emotions.

The thought of what was about to happen overwhelmed him with guilt.

I have no idea what Gong Tong is up to.

The family ate the poisoned food without any suspicion, and their laughter gradually subsided.

Not long after, Xue Hao and his family members, their eyes glazed over, slumped softly onto the table.

Xue Liang stood there, his throat dry and his eyes red. He reached out and shook Xue Hao beside him, then gently nudged the others.

After confirming that they were all fast asleep, he shakily took out his phone and dialed Gong Tong's number.

The phone had barely rung once when Gong Tong answered, "All done?"

Xue Liang's voice was hoarse, "Gong Tong, you promised me that as long as I did it, you would let my wife go. You must keep your word."

Gong Tong laughed loudly: "Don't worry, as long as you don't try anything funny, she'll be fine. I'll be there right away."

Soon, Gong Tong strode into the house. He looked around and went to check on Xue Hao's family.

He nodded in satisfaction: "Well done."

Gong Tong said coldly, "Just watch closely from here on out."

Suddenly, he pulled a knife from his waistband and stabbed Xue Hao in the abdomen without hesitation.

Xue Liang's eyes widened in horror as he cried out, "What are you doing!"

Gong Tong smiled sinisterly, "Better safe than sorry!" Then he warned him fiercely, "Your wife is still in my hands, you'd better think it over!"

While Xue Liang was still in a daze, Gong Tong had already stabbed everyone in the abdomen like a demon.

Seeing the bloody scene before him, Xue Liang's legs went weak, and he could barely stand.

"No! It shouldn't be like this!"

What did he do!

Brother Hao, no!

Gong Tong ignored Xue Liang's dazed state and coldly ordered, "Go, get them into the car."

Xue Liang was filled with fear, but thinking that Ah Xiang was still in Gong Tong's hands, he could only grit his teeth, suppress his inner pain and fear, and do as he was told.

The two men loaded the body into their car and, under the cover of night, drove towards a deserted area.

Moonlight spilled onto the barren land, and the surroundings were eerily silent, with only the sound of cars echoing across the empty fields.

Upon arriving at the location, Gong Tong instructed Xue Liang to dig a pit and bury the body.

Xue Liang mechanically swung the shovel, and with each shovelful of soil, his heart was filled with more torment.

After burying the body, Xue Liang slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, as if they had lost focus.

Gong Tong stood to the side and lit a cigarette. "From now on, we're in the same boat."

The smoke filled the space between the two men, like an invisible net binding them tightly together.

Xue Liang asked anxiously, "Where is my wife?" He practically squeezed the words out from between his teeth.

Gong Tong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint, cold smile. He stood up and dusted himself off.

"Come on, let's release your wife." Since you helped me, I'll let your family reunite.

The warehouse was filled with a damp and rotten smell.

Ah Xiang had woken up. Her hands were tied behind her back, a rag was stuffed in her mouth, and she was curled up in a corner.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up warily. When she saw her husband walking in side by side with the people who had kidnapped her, her eyes were filled with confusion and shock.

Countless questions were swirling in her mind.

Her mouth was gagged, so she couldn't say a word and could only make muffled sounds.

"Don't be afraid, Ah Xiang, I'm here to save you." The moment Xue Liang saw Ah Xiang, his eyes instantly reddened.

He rushed over in two strides.

As he spoke, he removed the gag from Ah Xiang's mouth and then quickly untied the ropes binding her hands.

Ah Xiang regained her freedom and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of Gong Tong pulling out a dagger, its cold light flashing.

Her heart skipped a beat, and without hesitation, she shouted, "Watch out!"

Xue Liang reacted quickly, grabbing a stick from the side to defend himself.

He gripped the stick tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his eyes fixed on Gong Tong, and shouted a threat.

“I recorded everything. If I die today, the evidence will be sent to the police station immediately.”

He had planned to record Gong Tong and his crimes so that he could turn himself in after Ah Xiang was rescued.

Unexpectedly, Gong Tong was so heartless and cruel that he murdered their entire family.

He became an accomplice!

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Gong Tong's face, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a cold smile.

"Don't lie to me."

"You don't believe me? I can show you."

When Gong Tong saw those incriminating evidence, his face instantly turned ashen, his hands clenched into fists, and he was seething with hatred.

"Remember, we're in the same boat. If I die, you won't live either!"

Xue Liang warned again, his voice filled with a do-or-die determination.

Gong Tong glared at him fiercely, but he knew he was afraid to act rashly at this moment, so he could only turn around and leave unwillingly.

Ah Xiang suffered great physical and mental trauma. Coupled with the fear and tension she had been experiencing these past few days, she developed unbearable abdominal pain after returning home.

She soon went into premature labor. Xue Liang was extremely anxious and took A Xiang to the hospital, pacing anxiously outside the operating room.

Every second of waiting felt like an eternity, and his heart was filled with fear and despair.

However, Ah Xiang ultimately did not survive, and both she and her unborn child died.

On her deathbed, she used her last bit of strength to hold Xue Liang's hand, her eyes filled with longing and reluctance, and said in a weak voice.

"You need to be a strong, upright man; I can't stay with you any longer..."

Before she could finish speaking, her hand fell limply to her side, and the breath of her life dissipated.

Xue Liang collapsed in front of the hospital bed, tears streaming down his face.

His world completely collapsed at that moment.

I was the one who made the mistake, so why did you punish Ah Xiang instead, God?

She is innocent.

It's all my fault, it's all my fault that Ah Xiang died.

Thereafter.

Xue Liang lived like a walking corpse.

He spent every day in regret and pain. He wanted to die, but he didn't dare to, because he was afraid that Ah Xiang and his grandmother would despise him.

He is not a true hero; he is an accomplice.

No, he is the murderer.

Xue Liang had frequent nightmares, in which he always saw the tragic deaths of Xue Hao's family, their eyes staring straight at him as if questioning why he did it.

Every time he woke up from a dream, he was drenched in sweat and his heart was pounding.

He had considered turning himself in, but he was too ashamed to face the two people he loved most.

Gong Tong, however, continued with his life as if nothing had happened.

He would even come to Xue Liang from time to time to remind him not to forget his situation.

Xue Liang secretly vowed that he would atone for his sins with his death when the remains of Xue Hao's family were brought to light.

"Brother Hao, I'm so sorry. I'll atone for my sins in my next life."

"Ah Xiang, Grandma, I'm sorry, I've let you down."
