A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

"They're police officers!"

Liu Juan's reminder instantly made Ren Yongshou, who was almost in front of him, turn around and run away!

Oh shit!

Qi Feng cursed inwardly, but his body reacted faster than his brain.

Without the slightest hesitation, he flipped his wrist, and the pistol that had been hidden behind his waist was now in his hand.

"Stop! Don't move! Police!"

He didn't rush forward immediately, but with a few quick steps, he kicked Ren Yongshou to the ground, then pointed a gun at his head to subdue him before letting him slowly get up.

Almost at the same moment, Liu Juan's gaze suddenly turned to look behind her.

There, a figure had just poked half its body out.

It's Kou Shi!

"Don't come any closer!"

Liu Juan screamed, then grabbed Lin Xiaohao, who was wearing a raincoat, and pulled him into her arms with her left hand.

A flash of cold light appeared in his right hand, and a sharp knife was already pressed firmly against the child's neck!

"Wow....!"

The sudden turn of events caused Lin Xiaohao to burst into terrified cries.

Kou Shi, who had just rushed out of the bushes, suddenly froze in place.

He raised his hands high, palms facing outwards, to indicate that he posed no threat.

"Liu Juan! You can't escape! Don't hurt the child, submit to the law!" Kou Shi said firmly.

"To be brought to justice?"

Liu Juan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world; the muscles in her face contorted with laughter, and rain streamed down her cheeks, indistinguishable from tears.

"It doesn't matter where you die, go ahead and shoot! My wife and I will take this child with us today! After we go to the underworld, I'll go find my son and give his heart back to him!"

She screamed hysterically, and the blade pressed closer to Xiao Hao's neck.

Qi Feng's heart sank.

Oh no! These two never intended to live from the start!

His mind raced, Qi Feng's gaze fixed on Liu Juan, but his tone suddenly changed, carrying a hint of amusement and confusion.

"Liu Juan, I consider myself a top-notch actress, and Master Liu also performed exceptionally well. How did you discover that?"

He must buy time!

The armed police are forming an encirclement; every second counts in terms of chances of victory.

Moreover, criminals who commit serious crimes often enjoy sharing the process of running over police officers.

Sure enough, upon hearing this question, the mad suicidal intent in Liu Juan's eyes faded slightly, replaced by a morbid, condescending mockery.

"A bunch of idiots!"

She scoffed dismissively, "I saw this unlicensed car drive by on the road ahead more than an hour ago. The surrounding villages are dirt poor; some villages might not even have a tractor, let alone a car. In the entire Sanli Town, Liu San's is the only one running this beat-up unlicensed taxi."

Her gaze swept over Qi Feng, then over the car blocking the road.

"What? It started raining an hour ago?"

Qi Feng understood, but a look of sudden admiration appeared on his face.

"I see, Liu Juan, you are indeed clever. However, you didn't remind your husband at the beginning, I'm afraid... you only just remembered it."

He continued to guide her thoughts with his words, preventing her from focusing entirely on the child.

"So what if I am!" Liu Juan raised her chin slightly, with a hint of morbid pride. "This time, I still won!"

"Yes, you've gotten ahead of us again." Qi Feng continued, then changed the subject, his brows furrowing slightly. "But I don't understand. I can understand cutting out the hearts of those people you killed, it was to give your son a heart transplant. But why did you cut out the tongues of some and chop off the hands of others? At first, I thought it was some kind of cult performing a sacrificial ritual."

"Hmph, I'm not that bored."

When Liu Juan mentioned the dead, there was no pity in her eyes, but rather a sense of satisfaction at having avenged a great grudge.

"I gouged out Zhou Yun's eyes because after my son's accident, she was the one who personally deleted the most crucial segment of the hospital's surveillance footage! Since she enjoyed watching it so much, then those eyes are no longer worth keeping!"

"We cut out Gou Qing's tongue because that bastard used us! He promised to help us file a complaint, but then he turned around and stole all the evidence we had painstakingly collected! What use is his tongue if it can only lie and deceive people!"

"As for Wang Linlin..." Liu Juan's voice suddenly turned extremely venomous, "She was the surgeon who operated on my son! Those hands of hers, which should have been used to save lives, instead killed my son! She can forget about having those hands!"

She spoke each sentence calmly, yet with a chilling edge.

This was not indiscriminate killing, but a trial that, in her view, was perfectly just and long overdue.

"Juanzi! Why waste your breath on him!"

With a gun pointed at his head by Qi Feng, Ren Yongshou finally roared impatiently, his face full of anxiety and madness.

"Just one last step! Quick! Take that brat's heart out! Then we'll be done!!"

His roar was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the atmosphere of the conversation that had just been established.

Liu Juan's eyes turned crazed again, and the blade in her hand seemed ready to strike.

"Liu Juan!"

Qi Feng suddenly shouted, his voice drowning out the sound of the rain and Ren Yongshou's roar.

"You spend the most time with your child! You should be able to feel your son's heart beating rhythmically inside that child's body!"

"Xiao Hao may not be your son, but in a sense, he is your son too! Can you really... bring yourself to do it?!"

These words struck Liu Juan like a thunderbolt.

She subconsciously looked down at the child in her arms who was crying and trembling all over.

Through the thin raincoat, she could almost feel the heart beating powerfully in her chest.

That was... her son's heartbeat.

As long as this heart is beating, does that mean... one's own son or child is living in another form?

The knife in his hand unconsciously loosened slightly.

The blade, which was pressed against the child's neck, moved outward by a tiny, yet crucial, centimeter.

There is a play!

Qi Feng was overjoyed; he had made the right bet!

However, at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!

Ren Yongshou, who had been held at gunpoint by Qi Feng, saw his wife begin to hesitate, and a desperate madness flashed in his eyes!

He let out a wild roar, completely ignoring the gun pointed at his head from behind, and pulled out another knife that he had prepared beforehand. He turned around and stabbed it fiercely into Qi Feng's chest!

"Go to hell!!"

This moment came too quickly, too suddenly!

Ren Yongshou's actions were so decisive that Qi Feng had no time to dodge or react!

Qi Feng's pupils suddenly contracted!

"Bang!"

The muffled gunshots rang out loudly in the fields amidst the torrential rain!

The bullet pierced Ren Yongshou's forehead with pinpoint accuracy. His forward-moving body suddenly stiffened, the crazed expression on his face froze, and he fell straight backward, crashing to the ground and splashing water.

Dead silence.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

next second.

"ah!!!"

Liu Juan, who witnessed her husband lying in a pool of blood, let out a heart-wrenching, inhuman scream.

The last shred of reason and hesitation in her eyes was completely shattered by her husband's blood.

Liu Juan suddenly raised the fruit knife in her hand, aimed it at Lin Xiaohao's heart, and stabbed him with all her might!
