Number 1357 suddenly smiled.

“Not necessarily,” he said enigmatically after a few seconds.

“What do you mean?” Lin Shanchu was stunned.

Previously, Number 2580 repeatedly mentioned that it had to be a happy ending, but now, Number 1357 said that it might not be the case.

“That useless system, Number 2580, only pursues results, but I’m different. I treat every female lead as my own daughter. In this world of unconventional plot, my daughter has the final say on the ending of course!”

Disdain was written all over Number 1357’s face.

Lin Shanchu instantly felt that his image had become incomparably lofty.

However, she quickly frowned and looked at him with a strange expression. “So you’ve always wanted to be my father?”

Number 1357 fell silent for a moment before he replied, “What I mean is that I’ve always treated you as my biological daughter. Do you understand what I mean?”

Lin Shanchu blinked. “Yeah… but not quite.”

“However, you are indeed different from that useless system Number 2580.” Number 2580 would only force her to follow the plot.

However, Number 1357 was different. If something happened to her, he would really dare to make a move.

First, he tried to kill Lu Shiyuan, but he failed. Now, he really succeeded in killing Tang Qidai.

Number 1357 thought that Lin Shanchu was praising him, so he grinned happily.

“What do you mean by not necessarily?” Huo Xunzhou, who had not said a word, suddenly asked. “An open ending?”

“You can understand it that way,” Number 1357 said indifferently as the smile on his face disappeared in a second.

“You don’t know the ending either?” Lin Shanchu’s expression froze.

Number 1357 shook his head. “I don’t know. The one who can decide the ending isn’t me. It’s you.”

“Wasn’t the ending of the story already written from the beginning?” Lin Shanchu was puzzled.

“The ending of the story was indeed written from the beginning, but now that the plot has changed, it’s natural that the ending will be different as well.” After saying that, Number 1357 spread out his hands, indicating that he had no choice.

Lin Shanchu turned to look at Huo Xunzhou with a complicated expression.

Huo Xunzhou smiled at her in a comforting manner.

“We’ll find out the ending when we reach it.”

As Huo Xunzhou spoke, he reached out and grabbed her hand.

Lin Shanchu held his hand and nodded lightly.

So what if there were more variables in the future?

Her fate was in her own hands.

She had the final say on the ending.

“I want to see Tang Qidai’s corpse,” Lin Shanchu said in a deep voice.

She had to see Tang Qidai’s corpse with her own eyes to believe that she was really dead.

Huo Xunzhou did not ask further questions and drove straight to the detention center.

There were many reporters guarding the entrance of the detention center.

They looked dedicated as they spent the first day of the new year to get a scoop.

“There are too many people.” Huo Xunzhou looked outside and frowned slightly.

“It’s fine.” Lin Shanchu reached out to open the car door.

Huo Xunzhou did not unlock the car door, so it could not be opened.The inception of this chapter’s publication is linked to N0v3l.B1n.

Huo Xunzhou gave her a look, trying to get her to calm down. “Hold your horses. I’ll make a call to check on the situation.”

Huo Xunzhou called Yun Yi and briefly explained the situation before hanging up the phone.

A few minutes later, Yun Yi called him.

“The corpse is no longer in the detention center. It was taken away by the Cheng family.”

“Did they bring it back to the Cheng family or take it to the funeral parlor?” “They directly took it to the funeral parlor…”

Huo Xunzhou put Yun Yi on speaker so that everyone in the car could hear him. “Let’s go to the funeral parlor now,” Huo Xunzhou looked at Lin Shanchu after the call ended.

Lin Shanchu nodded silently.

Huo Xunzhou started the car and drove to the funeral parlor.

There were not many people in the funeral parlor on the first day of the new year. As soon as they went in, they saw Cheng Fanjing.

Cheng Fanjing was probably talking to the staff about Tang Qidai’s funeral, so she did not notice them.

“Where’s Tang Qidai’s corpse?”

She abruptly turned around when Lin Shanchu’s voice rang behind her.

“Lin Shanchu?”

A trace of surprise flashed across Cheng Fanjing’s eyes, followed by a blinding realization.

Lin Shanchu and Tang Qidai had many grudges against each other, so she had to come and see Tang Qidai’s corpse to confirm if she was really dead.

Lin Shanchu was that kind of vengeful person.

However, she had an innocent and pure face. This face was so deceptive that everyone thought that she was easy to bully and manipulate. In fact, those who provoked Lin Shanchu did not have a good ending.

“Come with me,” Cheng Fanjing said directly.

She noticed Huo Xunzhou next to Lin Shanchu just now.

Huo Xunzhou really liked Lin Shanchu. He accompanied her to the funeral parlor to see the corpse on the first day of the new year.

There was no shortage ot good-looking and powertul people in this circle. Most of them smiled and looked kind to others, but in fact, they were selfish and cold. Besides, they only did things that were beneficial to themselves and only talked about transactions and not feelings.

Compared to them, Huo Xunzhou was considered a deviant.

He was good-looking, powerful and cold, but even an outsider like her could see his sincerity for Lin Shanchu.

Back when Huo Xunzhou and Lin Shanchu announced their relationship, many people secretly mocked him for coveting her beauty and her for coveting his money.

People were always so narrow-minded. They thought that things that they had never seen before did not exist in this world.

Cheng Fanjing stopped when she entered the funeral parlor.

“Before Tang Qidai died, she inflicted severe injuries to herself. The mortuary cosmetologist we contacted hasn’t arrived yet, so you should be mentally prepared.”

Lin Shanchu continued walking in with a calm expression.

Cheng Fanjing did not go any further after following her for a few steps.

Tang Qidai died a horrible death. She contacted the mortuary cosmetologist earlier, but she did not want to see Tang Qidai again, fearing that she would have nightmares at night.

The funeral parlor was on holiday because of the New Year, so there were only a few employees on duty. They were all busy with Tang Qidai’s burial, so there was no one in the morgue.

Huo Xunzhou stepped forward. Just as he was about to lift the white cloth covering the corpse, Lin Shanchu stopped him.

“I’ll do it myself.”

Lin Shanchu slowly walked forward and lifted the white cloth.

If she had not known Tang Qidai since childhood, she would hardly be able to tell at a glance that this person was Tang Qidai.

Tang Qidai’s long hair, which she cherished so much, had been bunched up and its original silky appearance was no longer visible.

There were a few big holes on her forehead and her once well-maintained face was riddled with scars, looking pale without a trace of life.

The two lips were full of teeth marks. It was obvious that she had bitten them when she was alive. The lips were so damaged that their original shape could no longer be seen.

Lin Shanchu examined Tang Qidai carefully before her gaze fell on her eyes.

At this moment, her eyes were still wide open with dilated pupils after death. Lin Shanchu looked into those restless eyes for a moment and then chuckled.

Number 1357 was at the back.

When he heard Lin Shanchu’s chuckle, he leaned over curiously.

He wanted to see how funny Tang Qidai’s death was.

When Number 1357 leaned over and saw Tang Qidai’s open eyes after death, he staggered in fright and hurriedly grabbed Huo Xunzhou’s arm to stabilize himself..
