Chapter 481: Chain Reaction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Lin Shanchu got used to Number 1357’s existence, she had almost forgotten that he had a human name called Lin Suguang.

What the other party said was a line that appeared frequently in movies and dramas that involved criminal investigation. Lin Shanchu couldn’t help but grip her phone.

“I am.”

“Please come to the police station to claim the body.”

Lin Shanchu only felt a buzz in her ears, and she couldn not hear what the other party was saying.

“What?”

Seeing this, Huo Xunzhou took the phone over.

He hung up the phone after exchanging a few words with the police.

Lin Shanchu looked at him as her eyes were filled with trepidation.

Huo Xunzhou couldn’t help but reach out and touch the top of her head before he said softly, “Something bad happened to Number 1357.”

Lin Shanchu looked at him in a daze. After a while, she came to her senses and mumbled, “He asked me to go to the police station to claim the body. But

Number 1357 is not a human, so how can he be dead?”

“Let’s go to the police station first,” Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice.

The forensic doctor lifted the white cloth on the morgue table, revealing a dismembered corpse.

The broken limbs had been pieced together, barely forming the shape of a human body. The face was clear after the bloodstains on his face had been wiped clean.

It was this face.

When he left the house in the morning, he was still talking to her with a smile.

The forensic doctor observed Lin Shanchu’s expression. He was worried that the family member would not be able to accept such a shock, so he wanted to cover it with the white cloth.

Lin Shanchu stopped him.

She slowly leaned over to look at him and shouted hoarsely, “Number 1357.” “It’s him,” Huo Xunzhou whispered as he stood beside her.

“Who did it?” Lin Shanchu turned to look at the police behind her. Her eyes were red-rimmed, but her voice was calm. “Have you caught the murderer?”

“He was caught red-handed. He was arrested when he dumped the body,” the policeman said in a deep voice.

“I want to meet him,” Lin Shanchu said in an agitated voice.

As soon as the police officer was about to speak, someone pushed open the door and entered the morgue.

It looked like a police officer with a higher position.

“Mr. Huo, let’s talk outside.”

They took Lin Shanchu and Huo Xunzhou to meet the prisoner.

The criminal was tall, dressed in tattered clothes and covered in stains with his head lowered, so his face could not be seen clearly.

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at the prisoner’s face expressionlessly through the iron bars.

At this moment, the prisoner slowly raised his head.

It was a face that she would recognize no matter how it looked like.

Lin Shanchu and the man looked at each other for a moment before she burst into laughter.

“Lu Shiyuan.”

When Lu Shiyuan saw her, he was stunned for a moment before he rushed over.

“You guys from the Lin family are really ruthless!” He grimaced and pulled at the iron cell door, as if he wanted to jump out and catch Lin Shanchu.

Huo Xunzhou quickly pulled Lin Shanchu back.

Compared to Lu Shiyuan’s madness, Lin Shanchu was not any better.

She laughed so hard that she could barely stand up straight with tears glistening in her eyes.

“I understand, I understand everything…” she muttered.

She understood what Number 1357 meant when he said that he was running out of time.

He also understood why Number 1357 swore that he would die a horrible death.

It turned out that this was what Number 1357 meant when he said that he could only die to protect her.

A life for a life?

“Shanshan!” Huo Xunzhou supported her worriedly.

Lin Shanchu remembered what Huo Xunzhou had said to her before they came to the police station.

“You know about Number 1357’s plan, don’t you?

“It was just my guess, and I couldn’t confirm it at that time.”

Lu Shiyuan’s murder and dismembering of the corpse was exposed, causing an uproar.

Many netizens sighed.

In the love triangle back then, one died and the other became a murderer. Now, only Lin Shanchu was left safe and sound.

Lin Shanchu had not gone out for a few days after returning home from the police station.

The Yun family took turns coming to visit her. Wen Huan and Ming Yao had come to visit her and express their condolences.

Other than Huo Xunzhou, no one knew about Number 1357’s existence. They only knew that Lin Suguang was her uncle.

Lin Shanchu felt that she did not have any deep feelings for Number 1357, so she did not feel that sad.

She just could not lift her spirits.

Huo Xunzhou and her roles were suddenly switched.

Huo Xunzhou brought all his work home and spent most of his time by her side.

The quiet days suddenly arrived, and time passed quickly.

Huo Zhuxiu lost the appeal trial, Huo Chaosheng’s first trial started, whereas Lu Shiyuan was taken to court.

Everything happened one after another.

By the time Lin Shanchu came to her senses, it was already the spring of the next year.

The news announcement on Lu Shiyuan’s execution made headlines on various websites.

After reading the news online, Lin Shanchu asked Yun Wu sitting opposite her, “Yun Wu, don’t you think the year has passed very quickly?”

“Is that so? It’s no different from before.” “Is that so? It’s no different from before.”

Yun Wu looked at Lin Shanchu blankly.

After arriving home on that night, Lin Shanchu mentioned the matter to Huo Xunzhou.

Standing behind her, Huo Xunzhou dried her hair and said in gentle, magnetic voice, “The year has indeed passed very quickly. It must be a chain reaction caused by Number 1357’s departure.”

Lin Shanchu nodded in realization.

On the day of Lu Shiyuan’s execution, Lin Shanchu went to Number 1357’s favorite dessert shop.

She picked a lot of desserts.

They were all Number 1357’s favorite desserts.

When she walked to the cashier to make payment, she noticed something unusual.

The ground in the cake shop shook, the ceiling above her fell down, and the dessert display cabinets toppled over.

However, the customers in the shop did not seem to notice the anomaly and continued to chat and laugh as they bought things.

Lin Shanchu wanted to say something and run out, but she could neither make a sound nor move her feet until her consciousness completely disappeared.

Lin Shanchu gasped and abruptly opened her eyes.

“Sister-in-law, you’re awake!”

“You must be tired from preparing for the wedding in the past few days, right?” Yun Wu came over from the side and smiled sweetly.

“Yun Wu?” Lin Shanchu frowned as Yun Wu would only call her “Sister-in-law” when she was trying to please Huo Xunzhou.

“Third Brother should be here soon!” After looking at the time, Yun Wu held onto Lin Shanchu’s arm and continued, “When Third Brother sees you in a wedding dress, he’ll be mesmerized!”

Upon hearing those words, Lin Shanchu looked around and realized that she was in a bridal shop.

She was clearly in the cakery just now, but why was she now in the bridal shop?

Lin Shanchu got up and ran outside, but she bumped into Huo Xunzhou who was running towards her.

“Shanshan! ”

Huo Xunzhou supported her, looking a little flustered.

After they looked at each other for a moment, Lin Shanchu asked tentatively,

“What happened?”

“It’s a chain reaction,” Huo Xunzhou said in a deep voice.

It matched.

Lin Shanchu heaved a sigh of relief.

Huo Xunzhou was probably in the same situation as her.

“Third Brother, Sister-in-law, come and try on the wedding dress and,” Yun Wu called out to them.

Neither of them knew what had happened, so they could only try on the wedding dress first.

After trying on the wedding dress, Lin Shanchu came out and continued to whisper to Huo Xunzhou, “There’s something wrong with Yun Wu. It feels like

a parallel world.”

She spoke for a long time but did not get a response from the man. Then, she looked up.

However, she realized that Huo Xunzhou was looking at her with a passionate

gaze.

He smiled as he helped her arrange her wedding dress, and his deep voice sounded magnetic and pleasant. “Shanshan, you are so beautiful today..”
