Chapter Seventy-Six: The Truth Revealed

In the police station’s holding cell, Liu Rushuang and Bai Yulou sat huddled in a corner. Bai Yulou was taking pastries from the box he had brought and handing them to Liu Rushuang. She accepted the pastry and devoured it ravenously.

Between mouthfuls, Liu Rushuang mumbled, “Baibai, you’re still the kindest to me.”

Bai Yulou smiled happily, but as he smiled, tears suddenly streamed down his face.

Seeing this, Liu Rushuang looked at him anxiously. “Baibai, why are you crying? This isn’t a death sentence meal.”

Bai Yulou wiped his tears away. “It’s just that seeing Sister Shuang eat so heartily makes my heart ache… Sister Shuang, slow down…”

“Oh, don’t cry, don’t cry. Can’t I eat slowly?”

“Sister Shuang, you’ve never suffered like this before. Usually, you’d only take a bite or two of these pastries, but now you’re eating like you’ve never had anything in your life…” Bai Yulou choked on his sobs. “How can my heart not ache watching this…”

Liu Rushuang was slightly moved and patted Bai Yulou’s shoulder. “Alright, it’s just that last night the food didn’t suit me, so I didn’t eat.”

Bai Yulou wiped the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief. Suddenly, his expression darkened with anger. “Where did Ying Xi and Lu Huan go? Did those bastards ever think of a way to save you?”

Liu Rushuang was silent for a moment, then looked seriously at Bai Yulou. “Baibai, if—I mean if—they haven’t found the evidence to save me, could you promise me to take care of my father?”

Bai Yulou was stunned for a moment, then broke down, sobbing loudly. “Sister Shuang, don’t say such things. No matter what, I won’t watch you die. If I have to, I’ll break you out of prison! Anyway, I have to save you.”

Liu Rushuang smiled bitterly, turned her face aside, and said no more.

Suddenly, Lu Huan hurried in. “Miss Liu…”

Bai Yulou pointed at Lu Huan with his slender finger, complaining, “Lu Huan, where the hell have you been? Have you thought of a way to save Sister Shuang?”

Lu Huan ignored Bai Yulou and walked straight to Liu Rushuang, his eyes filled with pain as he fixed his gaze on her. “Miss Liu, think carefully—does your sister have any distinctive marks? Like scars, birthmarks, or moles?”

“She…” Liu Rushuang thought for a moment. “There’s a red mole on the inner side of her left ring finger.”

Lu Huan was momentarily stunned before turning and running away.

Bai Yulou glared at Lu Huan in displeasure. “Weird, I really don’t know if those two can get you out.”

Liu Rushuang remained silent, staring blankly in the direction Lu Huan had left.

Lu Huan hurried into the police station’s morgue. He opened the body cabinet, checked Ling Yan’s corpse’s hand, and found that the deceased’s left ring finger indeed had a red mole on the inner side.

His heart trembled involuntarily, and he took a few steps back. “Ling Yan… could it really be you who tricked Liu Sixue to the old mansion, killed her, disguised your body with the ‘Blood Garment Curse,’ and then took revenge by killing inI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
