The news of Li Shu jumping off the building reached me while I was working overtime in the office. It was 10:30 PM, and the whole building was as quiet as a dark, ancient tree, with only my little corner lit up, creating a small gap of light in the darkness. Luo Ke called, her voice shaking like a sieve, making me suspect that the entire city’s power cables had been cut one by one in those few seconds, causing her to stutter, “Shen Baoshan… Li Shu… ju

Not even Yama (the King of Hell) could turn it off.

Li Shu didn’t want to live, and this wasn’t the first time. He had overdosed on pills, cut his wrists, and even tried to strangle himself with the door handle—he had tried everything. If I had just placed the security cameras a little lower, this bastard would have succeeded. This time, he was clever, he jumped from the rooftop. Damn it, who can in
