Chapter 114: Two Perverts

Chapter 114: Two Perverts

Can a person’s character change in an instant?

The answer is yes!

Xiao Yu once encountered a case just like this.

A bright, sunny college student transformed into a violent murderer within five days.

It all began when the student returned to his hometown for summer break and discovered that his father was paralyzed at home while his mother was hospitalized.

He learned that his parents had gotten into a quarrel with a neighbor, which ended with the neighbor and his two sons assaulting them.

The student spent three days planning.

On the third day, using his prepared tools and a weapon, he slaughtered the entire family at the neighbor’s house.

Then, on the fifth day.

When Xiao Yu found the student, he almost didn’t recognize him; the physical and personality changes were drastic…

Exactly how drastic…

Now, what about Jiang Dan, Ren Chang’s girlfriend? Has her character taken an unexpected turn too?

Her personality shift isn’t in itself suspicious, but it didn’t stop Xiao Yu from harboring doubts about her.

Doubts about what?

People’s characters can change, but certain habits take far longer to alter.

Take, for example, someone who’s despised cilantro for twenty years.

Wouldn’t it be strange if they suddenly developed a taste for it?

That’s exactly what their chat logs hinted at.

A few years back, Ren Chang had showered Jiang Dan with expensive gifts.

Jiang Dan had refused them repeatedly, even sparking several arguments in the process.

The quarrels were mainly because Jiang Dan knew very little about high-end brands.

Later, a coworker at her part-time job informed her that the items were extremely pricey.

Jiang Dan demanded that Ren Chang return them, and when he refused, they argued.

Are there still girls like that today?

They’re rare, but they do exist.

Jiang Dan is a simple girl from a poor rural area.

She started working at eighteen and met Ren Chang when she was nineteen.

How did they meet?

At a hospital.

Ren Chang went to the hospital with his mother while she visited the restroom.

Overwhelmed by his inner fear—he was autistic—Ren Chang shrank into a corner.

Coincidentally, Jiang Dan saw him and kindly approached to ask if he was alright.

Soon after, they exchanged contact details.

This exchange is evident even in their earliest chat logs…

There really are many girls who can’t resist the temptations of the outside world.

But Jiang Dan was clearly different, perhaps due to her humble background.

She was extremely sensitive when it came to large sums of money.

After Ren Chang and Jiang Dan confirmed their relationship,

every time Ren Chang gave her gifts exceeding a certain value,

Jiang Dan would react with anger instead of gratitude.

This relationship dynamic had persisted for over seven years.

Then…

Everything changed overnight!

Xiao Yu’s expression turned cold as he squinted his eyes, analyzing the suspicious details.

A change in personality doesn’t reveal everything.

When faced with certain events or stimuli, everyone can change in an instant.

But habits that have been nurtured over time aren’t so easily altered.

It’s like a webnovel writer who is used to a particular style.

Even if they switch their pen name and start a new series, some devoted fans will still spot the difference, brandishing a metaphorical twenty-meter cleaver while cursing and exclaiming, ‘You damn author, I’ve been waiting for you all this time!’

The author falls to his knees, trembling in supplication…

Just as Xiao Yu suspected—a pattern that had lasted over seven years

would not just change overnight.

In the past six months, Jiang Dan had changed.

First, she subtly hinted through texts for Ren Chang to send her red envelopes.

Then, her demands escalated to money, luxury goods, and large sums.

Even the flower shop she ran was entirely funded by Ren Chang.

Within just half a year, during the initial phase alone, Ren Chang had transferred over 1.5 million in cash and valuables to Jiang Dan.

In a recent chat log, Jiang Dan demanded from Ren Chang… a million!

“Investigate Ren Chang’s bank transfer records,”

Xiao Yu’s eyes moved from the chat logs as he issued an order, “Focus on the transfers Ren Chang made to Jiang Dan!”

Before long, Ren Chang’s online banking and e-payment records were all retrieved.

The Ren family indeed had money.

A glance at Ren Chang’s account revealed that he once had over 6 million!

All of it was pocket money his parents once gave him…

Based on the transfer records,

in just half a year, Ren Chang ended up transferring more than 2.7 million to Jiang Dan.

Why was there such an excess?

Why didn’t the text logs show it?

It was most likely done over voice or video calls.

Or even during phone conversations where Jiang Dan made her demands.

Soon, Xiao Yu discovered another oddity.

Ren Chang’s online banking account had been enabled for high-amount transfers.

Even the phone number linked to his bank account had been changed!

Although he had been using that number for over a decade.

Why change it?

Ren Chang was a recluse who had no reason for such large transactions.

So why activate high-amount transfer limits?

After an investigation, it turned out the new phone number belonged to Jiang Dan!

Ren Chang had committed suicide—just five days before he took his own life in the Detention Center.

All the money in his bank card had been transferred out.

Over 3 million, nearly 4 million in total.

In the end, there was only… fifty cents left!

How interesting… Xiao Yu’s face broke into a cold, fierce smile.

He decided to let Jiang Dan off for now and have some fun with her later…

But the pressing issue now was to uncover the true reason behind Ren Chang’s suicide.

Only by finding that reason could the case be further investigated.

Xiao Yu began meticulously reexamining the old chat logs between Ren Chang and Jiang Dan,

scrutinizing the evolution of their relationship.

It was evident from every exchange that Ren Chang was an extraordinarily calm individual.

Just as Xiao Yu had deduced in the Morgue.

Yet, Ren Chang was also profoundly twisted in character.

That much went without saying—a mix of autism and classic psychological issues.

Severe autism naturally leads to abnormal psychological changes.

If his character weren’t so distorted, he wouldn’t have even turned suicide into a spectacle.

It was something Xiao Yu hadn’t anticipated.

Jiang Dan… now there seemed to be something off about her too.

What was it?

From their past text conversations, Xiao Yu noticed that Jiang Dan not only lacked a sense of security but also exhibited an obsessive possessiveness, and it was highly likely that she had suffered some form of psychological or physical abuse.

Every now and then, she would say, ‘I wish I could just leave this world, so that nothing would be remembered!’

Each time, Ren Chang would reply, ‘If you leave, I’ll leave with you.’

Jiang Dan: ‘Would you really be willing to die with me?’

Ren Chang: ‘Absolutely.’

And it wasn’t just a one-off joke in their chats over the past seven years.

They were dead serious.

Damn it!

Xiao Yu burst out a curse, feeling a shiver run down his spine.

It’s not terrifying to encounter one lunatic.

But two lunatics in love? That’s a whole different level of madness!

As the old saying goes, ‘Birds of a feather flock together.’

Sure enough, like fish to fish, like shrimp to shrimp, like a turtle seeking its mate.

Xiao Yu then thoroughly examined Jiang Dan’s chat logs,

relying on his skill as a Psychological Expert.

In the end, he was convinced.

Jiang Dan’s mindset was deeply troubled—seriously so.

It was likely that, like Ren Chang, she suffered from a psychological disorder.

No wonder they managed to stick together, maintaining an online romance for eight years.

It wasn’t without reason.

Because…

these are two perverts!
