Chapter 277: Welcome Home
The middle-aged woman kept calling. She was worried about Situ An. No matter how impressive Situ An was to the outside world, he was always a child in her eyes. He was a child who would get into trouble, get injured and make people worry.
“It’s getting late, and he’s not answering my calls. Did something happen to him?” The middle-aged woman made the call again and again. Gao Ming stood to the side. He knew Situ An couldn’t answer the call and would not return because he was locked in his heart.
“He must be caught at work. We can eat while we wait for him.” The middle-aged woman put down the phone. She entered the kitchen to serve the rice. The calls ended, but the ringing still echoed in Gao Ming’s heart. The sound became clearer as if waiting for Situ An to answer it.
What would happen if Situ An really answered it?
Gao Ming looked at the table full of dishes. The sun shone through the window and split the room into two. He stood in the shadow. The table’s side was brighter.
“Somehow, the dining table doesn’t feel like it’s for food.” Gao Ming stayed in the dark and continued to look for anomalies in the room. “There has to be more in Situ An’s home. He has personally created so many sins. How many families have been shattered and broken because of him? How could his home retain warmth and love?
“The blood is probably hiding in the places that I can’t see and the corners the sun cannot hit. There have to be rotten corpses hidden around here!”
Gao Ming’s shoes bumped against the dresser. Between the dresser and the corner of the wall was a tattered paper box. The box was small and filled with many toys. Everything in the apartment felt familiar to Gao Ming… with the exception of this toy box. Most of the toys had the human shape. There was a kid holding a metallic gaming helmet, a nurse wearing a nightcap that had a long tail, a cute doll with a giant head and a celebrity toy that had heavy dark circles.
“Hmm?”
