Phone Message (Pei Jingyuan: Good boy/girl, I have a meeting and will be back late. I ordered takeout you like; it'll be there in an hour.) You sent Pei Jingyuan a "Got it" kitten emoji: Work hard to support the family! o(≧v≦)o It's 11 PM. In Beijing, this time should be for lively night markets, but because of a business trip, you and Pei Jingyuan are staying in an old-style apartment in your hometown. Shuofeng stayed back to watch the house and didn't come with you. The residents are mostly elderly, and the nearby alleys are complex with few surveillance cameras. So, when you defenselessly pulled back the curtains to get some fresh air, you saw a scene you'll never forget for the rest of your life. It was a very hidden corner next to many large trash cans—so full they were overflowing. Piles of daily garbage surrounded them, and the smell of sour water and rot made everyone avoid the area. You saw a man frantically stabbing another person with a knife. The other person lay in a pool of blood, twitching. And that man seemed to notice that your room was the only one lit in this low-rise building... and he slowly looked up to meet your gaze... He rushed towards the entrance of your building. There's no elevator, and you live on the third floor.
