Chapter 462: Misfortune or Luck?

Chapter 462: Misfortune or Luck (Update 5)

At that moment, Gong Hongyun felt that life was just like a computer.

It freezes without warning, no discussion allowed.

There was a time he dreamed of earning more and even going abroad.

He had already picked out houses overseas.

Lately, he’d even been studying how to decorate them.

But… the moment he laid eyes on the Wealthy Man’s Wife,

Gong Hongyun had an epiphany.

No matter how splendid a house is, it’s merely a temporary shelter.

That little box is your true home!

Still, Gong Hongyun was not one to be messed with.

Years of faking blindness had toughened his resolve.

Even when his nerves nearly cracked, he still let the Wealthy Man’s Woman into his home.

And despite her constant teasing and probing, he never fell for it.

He stubbornly stuck to his ‘blind man’ act to the end.

But eventually, the Wealthy Man’s Wife proved to be a step ahead.

She pulled out a bottle of DDVP and poured it into Gong Hongyun’s water cup.

If you can’t see, you’re bound to drink, right?

But if you can see, would you drink it?

Gong Hongyun’s composure completely crumbled…

He dropped the act. The truth was laid bare as they faced each other.

Gong Hongyun told the Wealthy Man’s Wife plainly: ‘I’m just a masseur. I pretended to be blind to make a living and have no part in your murderous schemes. I’m even leaving for overseas next month, and I won’t mention any of this—otherwise, I would have reported you yesterday, right? So let’s just go our separate ways, okay?’

But the Wealthy Man’s Wife had other plans.

Feigning belief in his story, she even described the murder in detail.

She didn’t hide a single secret about her affair, all to gain his trust.

Yet as she left, taking advantage of Gong Hongyun’s momentary inattention,

she knocked him out with a hammer…

When Gong Hongyun came to, several hours had passed.

To his horror, he discovered he was truly blind.

Worse, he was bound to a bed with three men standing beside him.

From their conversation, he learned they planned to harvest his organs.

Moreover, these men were in the gruesome business of trafficking human organs.

Even more shocking, the Wealthy Man turned out to be their leader.

This time, he couldn’t hold back—he peed his pants on the spot!

Gong Hongyun’s sudden awakening startled all three criminals.

When he begged desperately and recounted everything—how the Wealthy Man’s Wife and her lover had killed their boss—the criminals were left speechless.

They were completely taken aback.

Damn, can you believe this?

The three criminals lost their cool and left without further harm.

By the afternoon, however, the criminals had captured the Wealthy Man’s Wife.

You’d think they were after revenge for their boss?

No way—the money was all held by the Wealthy Man.

A mountain of cash!

The criminals forced the Wealthy Man’s Wife to reveal where the money was hidden.

They even had her call her lover to come over.

I have to admit, this lover was surprisingly loyal, as he actually showed up.

He ended up clashing with the three criminals.

Incredibly… he killed two of them.

But the lover himself was finally slain by the last criminal, who joined forces with Gong Hongyun.

Yes, Gong Hongyun broke free from his bonds.

He even helped the criminals dispose of the lover!

Gong Hongyun realized his destiny was being rewritten yet again.

This time, it wasn’t a computer crash,

but life itself was like a phone call.

Either you hang up first, or I do…

He and the Wealthy Man’s Wife were loaded into a car by the criminals.

They were driven out of the city.

During the ride, one of the criminals remarked that since the two had teamed up against danger, they owed each other a life debt.

He told Gong Hongyun, ‘There’s three or four million with the boss, and another three or four million elsewhere. Once the cash is in, give me a million, and then we can team up… and take care of your sister-in-law!’

But no one expected that at that moment, the Wealthy Man’s Wife stirred in the back.

Not only did she wake up, she broke free from her restraints and somehow found a knife.

She stabbed one of the criminals.

Though the criminal wasn’t killed, he abandoned the car and fled.

The Wealthy Man’s Wife chased him down and killed him.

Gong Hongyun’s resolve shattered once again.

Though blind, he was far from foolish.

He bolted from the car like a headless chicken.

If he hadn’t run, wouldn’t the Wealthy Man’s Wife have come back to finish him off?

Just minutes later, he heard vehicles hot on his trail.

Soon, he heard the crashes, explosions, and the roar of burning metal.

He ran for what felt like an eternity.

Exhausted, he finally collapsed on the ground.

Until someone appeared and drove him back into the city.

Using the Criminal Investigation Team he learned about from passersby, Gong Hongyun reported the crime.

By then, over three full days had passed!

…

After hearing Gong Hongyun recount every detail of the case,

Xiao Yu remarked with a stunned expression: (￣□￣)

Isn’t this crazier than any movie?

Is this pure misfortune?

Or is it sheer, unbelievable luck?

How is it that he’s still alive and even managed to report to the Criminal Investigation Team?

It just doesn’t add up… Xiao Yu wondered in confusion.

He instinctively tried to process the situation with his mind.

All six victims were accounted for.

First, the Wealthy Man was found dead at home.

In the basement, three bodies were discovered—two criminals involved in organ trafficking and the lover.

Then, on a road outside the city, a criminal’s corpse was found.

Lastly, there was the car.

Inside, a charred corpse of a woman lay, unrecognizable.

The female driver… tsk.

Could it be that the Wealthy Man’s Wife had intended to chase Gong Hongyun by driving, only to crash?

A car explosion, a wreck, and lives lost?

Xiao Yu fixed his gaze on Gong Hongyun’s eyes as he sat in the interrogation chair.

They were murky, like the eyes of a corpse.

It was obvious he was indeed blind.

Then, one peculiar question arose.

Who was responsible for blinding Gong Hongyun?

What method could have damaged his eyes so severely?

Xiao Yu got up and ordered Guo Qiang to take Gong Hongyun to the hospital to check his eyes.

He then set off with his apprentice to visit several crime scenes where the bodies were found.

Simply listening to Gong Hongyun’s account wouldn’t suffice.

He had to witness the scenes and investigate firsthand.

Only then could he piece together the true sequence of events.

Most importantly, he insisted that they ignore the victims’ identities for now.

Six lives were at stake.

The entire law enforcement community in Bincheng was thrown into chaos…
