Twisted Dreams

He was once the most famous auctioneer in the underground market.

The items auctioned in the underground market were not as simple as ordinary antiques and paintings.

If there were antiques and paintings at the auction, they must have been stolen by tomb raiders and thieves.

The items auctioned by Chu Chenggong were all of dubious origin.

Despite his violation of safety regulations and being considered a bad person, he treated his wife and daughter very well.

He was an orphan, with no one to rely on since childhood, like a floating duckweed in the vast sea.

Therefore, he cherished his family greatly.

Chu Chenggong made quite a bit of money from the underground market, but he never spent it.

He believed that the most important thing for a man was to provide for his wife and children.

The wife didn’t have to work and could travel every day.

The daughter could attend a prestigious school and receive the best educational resources.

Due to Chu Chenggong’s sensitive identity, he could only live in the old town, disguised as an ordinary person.

In fact, the expenses of Chu Chenggong’s family were quite significant.

The wife’s daily international travel was a huge expense, and the daughter’s prestigious school was a bottomless pit.

He himself was just an orphan without family wealth, so buying a house in Guang City was not easy.

An industry veteran once told him that the profession of an underground auctioneer went against natural ethics, even if they never dirtied their hands with blood.

Chu Chenggong scoffed at this.

He hadn’t stolen, robbed, or committed arson, so how could he be committing such a heinous crime?

Unexpectedly, retribution came swiftly.

It was an ordinary night, and he auctioned off a heart, selling it at a high price with his superb skill.

Later, he learned that the heart came from his wife, who was traveling in a foreign country.

He had personally sold the life of his beloved.

To keep the heart fresh, they only extracted it after Chu Chenggong sold it at a high price.

Chu Chenggong went insane, suffering from a severe mental illness.

From then on, he lost the auctioning skills he was so proud of and quit the business for good.

He wanted to take care of and raise his and his wife’s daughter with all his heart.

Retribution followed closely.

Because the daughter attended a prestigious school and mixed with upper-class children daily, class issues gradually emerged over time.

Without an income, Chu Chenggong’s savings were just enough for his daughter to finish high school, with no extra money for her to enjoy the fun activities like the wealthy kids.

His daughter became the ugly duckling in the prestigious school.

Nini was insecure, resenting her humble origins and obsessively fixated on becoming a princess.

She fell ill, suffering from the same psychological illness as her father, untreatable with medicine.

Chu Chenggong sat on the sofa, waiting for his daughter all night.

He stayed awake all night, unaware of his daughter’s whereabouts, with no messages from her.

One cigarette followed another in his hand, and he dialed her number again and again.

His daughter hung up many times, eventually turning off her phone.

Chu Chenggong painfully rubbed his head.

He had spoiled his daughter too much, treating her as a delicate treasure.

In truth, Nini ended up like this partly due to Chu Chenggong’s excessive pampering.

...

Early the next morning.

Chu Chenggong hadn’t waited for his daughter to return; it was the Sheriff who knocked on the door.

What he received was the tragic news of his daughter.

Chu Nini was dead, found naked by the seaside on the outskirts.

Chu Chenggong ran to the seaside in a frenzy, recognizing his daughter’s body from afar.

He remembered the content of his daughter’s last live stream.

Chu Chenggong told the Sheriff it was someone with the online name Yue Feng who had invited his daughter out, and it must have been Yue Feng who committed the crime.

The Sheriff launched an investigation immediately, capturing Yue Feng at once.

Yue Feng was not the handsome and charming prince Nini imagined; he was a greasy, sleazy fat man.

Yue Feng had some background, an absolute scion of the wealthy.

In those true aristocratic families passed down through generations, the Sect Leader would have many offspring.

Only the most outstanding among them would become the Crown Prince to inherit the family business.

For the rest of the offspring, life wasn’t as glamorous as in novels, not so indulgent in luxury.

Their expenses were fixed, and even the luxury cars they drove were the family’s, not their own.

This sleazy fat man was one of these ’other offspring.’

He drove a Maybach, receiving a monthly living allowance of ten thousand from the family.

This was not because the nobility was stingy, but because they were not foolish and were ruthless enough.

They wouldn’t lavish too much emotion on ordinary women or waste too much material on incapable descendants.

As long as those descendants could live and continue the family line, that was enough.

With only ten thousand a month, Yue Feng couldn’t play with female celebrities like the Crown Prince, so he devised a special method.

He wandered through various streaming rooms, looking for pretty female streamers, sending gifts to become their top supporters.

Becoming a top supporter of those streamers was easy, sometimes just two or three thousand would suffice.

When the streamers added his WeChat and saw his ’luxurious’ lifestyle in his moments, they immediately lost all sense, throwing themselves at him without thinking.

Yue Feng’s tactic never failed, and he played with countless beautiful female streamers.

Yue Feng’s only mistake was last night.

After dinner, Yue Feng made advances towards Chu Nini.

That foolish woman insulted him as a fat man, a sleazy guy, claiming he wasn’t any prince at all.

Yue Feng was incensed.

"I spent money on you, took you to a fancy dinner, and you won’t go to the hotel with me?"

In the quarrel, Yue Feng raped Chu Nini, and in the end, accidentally strangled her to death.

...

In the courtroom.

Chu Chenggong attended as the plaintiff.

In the defendant’s seat, Yue Feng was confident and fearless.

His family background was strong, securing the best defense attorney team and taking care of certain matters. He also had a ’sufficient alibi.’

Although Yue Feng was the most useless one in the family, the Sect Leader wouldn’t let him disgrace the family.

Having a rapist, a murderer in the family would tarnish the family’s image and cause certain losses.

Chu Chenggong originally thought this trial would bring his daughter justice, but the situation turned increasingly unfavorable.

In the end, the opposition’s lawyer team presented a report: Chu Chenggong’s mental state evaluation report.

Chu Chenggong already had a psychological illness, and the other side, through certain means, made his mental illness appear more severe.

Severe delusional disorder, severe depression, severe anxiety disorder, severe personality disorder.

Chu Chenggong’s testimony became completely ineffective.

No one could prove that Chu Nini had arranged to meet Yue Feng.

As for the biological examination report of Chu Nini’s body, that family had ways to make it seem reasonable, and there was even a scapegoat on the way to confess.

...

Outside the courtroom.

With numerous lawyers accompanying him, Yue Feng walked out of the courtroom.

He spotted the devastated Chu Chenggong.

Yue Feng walked up to Chu Chenggong with a vile smile:

"Do you know, where the place is that the sun can’t reach?"

During their date, Chu Nini had told Yue Feng everything.

Including her incapable, brainless father peeking at her from her bedroom door, asking disgusting questions like, ’Where’s the place the sun can’t reach?’

In her world, her father was more embarrassing than the fat man in front of her.

Chu Chenggong squatted down, blankly looking at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng smugly mimicked thrusting movements.

Chu Chenggong’s body shuddered.

This person had killed his daughter, yet had the gall to act so shamelessly in front of a father?

Yue Feng put away his sleazy expression, warning aggressively:

"Then do you know what’s stronger than the sun, able to shine on every corner of this city?"

He pointed to himself:

"My family."

He meant to say that his family’s influence was vast, pervasive in every corner of the city.

He wanted to warn Chu Chenggong not to stir up trouble.

Chu Chenggong fell into silence.

Yue Feng leaned close to Chu Chenggong’s face, staring fiercely at him:

"Do you believe you’ll soon be admitted into a psychiatric hospital?"

Chu Chenggong reached into the grass and found a dagger.

He had seen too much darkness and filth in underground auctions, knowing that some people were beyond the reach of safety regulations.

He had made two plans.

With a blank expression, Chu Chenggong stabbed the dagger into Yue Feng’s throat.

Blood spurted out.

Yue Feng staggered back, clutching his throat, looking at Chu Chenggong in disbelief.

Chu Chenggong’s face was splattered with Yue Feng’s blood. He quietly said:

"In places the sun can’t reach, a father can, and with speed and precision."

A lawyer pointed at Chu Chenggong, screaming in horror:

"You’re insane! Murder demands compensation, you’ll die for this!"

Chu Chenggong tilted his head, confused:

"Didn’t you say I had severe mental illness?

You should know that a mentally ill person won’t be executed for murder, don’t you, lawyer?"
