Bai Chen’s heart was pounding, but he wasn’t sure if the reason behind it was because of Bai Renshu’s writing on the paper or because of the notification he received from the system.

It seemed that the two of them had managed to surprise him, and that was why he froze on the spot after he read the letter and received the notification from the system.

“The system suddenly gave me 36% for the progress of that mission, and that means Bai Renshu is telling the truth in this letter, right? He wasn’t the one who killed Bai Chen’s mother?” Bai Chen muttered to himself as he managed to connect the two dots from the information he had just obtained.

He assumed that the system wouldn’t see it as progress if what Bai Renshu wrote in the letter was just a lie, so he immediately thought that it was the truth that Bai Renshu was indeed not the murderer of Bai Chen’s mother.

It was a huge revelation, and the system even said he had made 36% progress on the mission, and now he was only halfway until he could reveal the truth behind Tang Yanmei’s death.

Bai Chen suddenly felt very excited after he received the notification from the system, but then he frowned again as he once again directed his blue eyes to the small paper in his hand.

.....

It was indeed just a small piece of paper, and there were only two paragraphs written in the article, and he had already read it so he finally got a notification from the system. However, he assumed that Bai Renshu wrote too little on paper, and he knew that the information was not enough for him.

“Bai Renshu said that this letter was the prize from him after I won the bet, but I think he’s too stingy,” he once again muttered, and he even insulted the person who was no longer in the world. “He said that he wasn’t the killer, and he even said that someone close to me might be the real killer, but he didn’t mention any names in this letter.”

That was what made him feel disappointed and even called a dead person stingy even if he did obtain something from the short letter.

Bai Renshu just died yesterday, and before the man hung himself on the ceiling of the Zuigao Hall, he wrote a letter to Bai Chen, and Bai Chen thought that the letter was important to him. He had to admit that the letter was indeed crucial, and even if it was just a short letter from the older man, he somehow felt that there was so much meaning in the letter.

“Bai Renshu did say that we have hated each other for so many years, but I can somehow feel how friendly and sincere he was when he wrote this letter. Does that mean... Bai Renshu didn’t really hate me this whole time?”

Bai Chen suddenly thought of the possibility, and suddenly, a series of strange memories flashed through his mind.

[“Mother, I asked my brother to play with me, but he ignored me. Why is he acting like that, Mother? Does that mean he hates me?”

“You can’t say that, ChenChen. Your brother isn’t good with his words, but you can’t say that he hates you just because he didn’t reply to you when you asked him to play with you.”]

A little boy whose face resembled his was talking to a beautiful woman. The boy looked disappointed and sad, and the woman tried to comfort him by patting him on the head lovingly.

Bai Chen was confused by the memory, but then another memory appeared in his mind.

[“Mother! I have lots of new toys here! Did you go to the market to buy them for me? How did you know that I wanted new toys?”

“I didn’t go to the market to buy then, ChenChen. Someone sent the toys to our palace this morning, and that’s why you can play with them now.”

“Someone sent these toys for me? Who is that person? Is he the Emperor?”

“He’s not the Emperor, but maybe he’ll only feel embarrassed if you know his identity. That’s why you should enjoy playing with these toys and don’t try to find the sender of them, okay? That way, the person who sent all of these toys won’t feel embarrassed.” ]

It was still the same boy and the same woman, but Bai Chen could also see some of the toys in the boy’s hands, and the boy also seemed happy while talking to his mother. Even the mother looked happy, and the woman continued to smile at her son.

Bai Chen was flustered, and suddenly, sweat started to cover his forehead even though the weather wasn’t very hot today, and then another memory appeared in his mind.

[“ChenChen... even if... I won’t... be able... to stay with you. P-please... don’t hate your brother. He... he never... did bad things... to us.”]

Bai Chen’s breath caught as he looked at the memories in his mind. In the strange memory, he held a woman in his arms, and fresh blood kept pouring out of the woman’s mouth, but the woman kept trying to form a few sentences using her last breath.

Even if the sentence was not perfectly produced by the woman, and even if it sounded a bit faint to Bai Chen’s ears, he could still understand the meaning behind the woman’s last words.

Bai Chen’s hand was still holding the paper with the inscription written by Bai Renshu before his death, and his hands trembled at the thought of another possibility, “So... even Tang Yanmei knew that the real culprit was not Bai Renshu, and she also knew that Bai Renshu did nothing bad to her? Maybe she even knew the real culprit, right?”
