Chapter 881: Reunion

With the little girl's death.

Hou Mengji seemed to have his spine ripped out, all strength draining from his body.

He collapsed to the ground like a dead fish.

Jiang Ran walked over to his ex-wife, took the rag out of her mouth, and said, "Say your goodbyes to your ex-husband too! Hopefully, unlike your daughter, you won't just know how to cry."

Hou Mengji's ex-wife glared at Jiang Ran's face with seething hatred.

She would never forget how, at around five in the morning today, her family of three was sleeping soundly at home.

Then, this man suddenly burst in, knocked them all unconscious, and took them away.

It was terrifying. She had been scared half to death, desperately shielding her children, but this man moved too fast.

What she never expected was that after being knocked out and waking up, she found herself at the edge of a rooftop on a tall building.

What frightened her even more was that her son and daughter were here too, just like her.

And of course, the most unexpected thing of all was seeing her ex-husband.

Her ex-husband, that perverted pedophile murdering maniac, shouldn't he be locked up in prison, waiting for judgment?

Why was he here?

She couldn't understand, couldn't figure it out, but from his voice and appearance, she was certain it was her ex-husband.

Now, she didn't even want to figure out what was going on anymore.

Because she roughly understood that this seemed to be a revenge killing.

After glaring hatefully at Jiang Ran, she turned her gaze to Hou Mengji.

After his son and daughter died, Hou Mengji kept his head lowered like a man who had lost his soul. Then his ex-wife called his name, snapping him back to attention as he looked up.

When he looked up, he saw his ex-wife's face twisted with agonizing pain and seething hatred.

His ex-wife was grinding her teeth so hard he could hear it from where he was.

"Hou Mengji!"

"The biggest regret of my life was meeting you! And falling in love with you and marrying you!"

"You didn't just ruin me! You ruined our son and daughter too!"

"Do you have any idea how much pain your crimes being exposed brought to the three of us?"

"We had to keep moving, I had to keep changing jobs, and the kids had to keep switching kindergartens!"

"Even then, we constantly had to endure the contempt and scolding from people around us who knew who we were. Sometimes even beatings!"

"My phone, the endless cyberbullying, it was driving me insane!"

"It was all you! All because of you!!!!!"

His ex-wife had already bitten her lip until it bled.

Hou Mengji seemed ashamed at this moment, not daring to look up.

"Hou Mengji! Even after all that, you still wouldn't leave us alone!!!"

"Now look, our son and daughter are dead because of you!"

"Are you satisfied now?"

Hou Mengji finally lifted his head. His face was terribly flushed and ugly.

"I... I didn't know... I didn't know it would be this serious, that it would drag you all into it..."

"I... ever since I fell in love with you, I never killed again... I just wanted to have a home with you, live a good life, maintain our family..."

"It's... it's all those people who wouldn't leave me alone! They kept investigating me! They exposed my crimes! Got me arrested by the police! And now I've ended up here!!!"

Two streams of murky tears flowed from Hou Mengji's eyes, trailing down his face and dripping onto the rooftop floor.

"Heh, heh heh, hahahaha"

Hou Mengji's ex-wife seemed to have completely broken down.

Her hair was disheveled, her face twisted into something resembling a madwoman's.

"Beast! You're nothing but a beast!"

"After doing such disgusting things to so many little girls, you still dared to dream of having a wonderful family?"

"Hou Mengji!"

"I hate you!"

"I will hate you for all eternity!!!!"

The last shout was screamed at the top of her lungs.

After screaming, she threw herself sideways and rolled straight off the building.

With a heavy thud, another life was extinguished.

"Sigh, poor woman. She must have been completely hopeless about life."

Jiang Ran pulled his head back from the rooftop edge, speaking with great emotion.

The Monkey King Mask Man watched this scene and thought, "Like you had nothing to do with this..."

At that moment, Jiang Ran walked over to Hou Mengji and dragged him to the edge of the rooftop.

"I know that with your ex-wife, son, and daughter dead, you don't want to live anymore. I'll send your whole family of four to reunite now."

"No need to thank me."

Jiang Ran hoisted Hou Mengji's body onto the ledge of the rooftop.

On the verge of being thrown to his death, Hou Mengji's face showed not a trace of fear.

He was probably still drowning in the grief and pain of losing his ex-wife, son, and daughter.

Jiang Ran was a straightforward man, and he didn't bother with excessive mockery or trash talk toward this loser.

He gave him a hard shove, sending him off the edge.

"Seems like serial killers aren't all completely cold-blooded and heartless. At least some of them still have feelings for their families, for the people they care about."

Having witnessed Hou Mengji's fall with his own eyes.

Jiang Ran turned his head and spoke to the other person on the rooftop, the Monkey King Mask Man.

The Monkey King Mask Man was now trembling all over, forcing a stiff smile onto his face.

Seeing how unnatural he looked, Jiang Ran asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Looks like you're really afraid of me?"

The Monkey King Mask Man's heart was bitter.

How could he not be afraid? This guy had just wiped out an entire family of four. Now he was the only one left, and it wasn't like he wasn't afraid of death.

As Jiang Ran approached him step by step, his mouth immediately turned sweet as honey:

"Bro! You're my big bro!"

Jiang Ran: "You're a few years older than me. Shouldn't I be calling you bro?"

Monkey King Mask Man: "No, no, you're my bro. Even if I was 30 years older than you, you'd still be my bro."

Jiang Ran: "Such a sweet tongue. Well then, since that's the case, I'll give you the chance to choose how you want to die."

Monkey King Mask Man was on the verge of tears: "But I don't want to die..."

"Bro! I was wrong! I'll never dare again!"

"Besides, Hou Mengji was the mastermind behind all this! I'm really innocent!"

Jiang Ran circled around the Monkey King Mask Man a few times.

He could tell this guy had already been scared out of his wits.

So, he suddenly got an urge for mischief:

"How about this, I'm a generous guy. I won't kill you."

Monkey King Mask Man quickly thanked him: "Thank you, bro! Thank you, bro! If you ever need me for anything in the future! I'll walk through fire and jump into boiling water for you!"

"Then... bro, since you're not killing me, can you untie me?"

"Heh, no."

Jiang Ran said.

Monkey King Mask Man: "Then... then aren't you still going to kill me?"

Jiang Ran said: "No, I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either."

"Everything depends on your own skill. If you can't break free, then just ascend to immortality right here on this rooftop!"

With that, Jiang Ran took his leave, his footsteps echoing with a rhythmic tap-tap-tap as he walked off the rooftop.

Listening to Jiang Ran's footsteps.

The Monkey King Mask Man struggled to twist his caterpillar-like body.

Turning around to look behind him.

He saw Jiang Ran's figure disappear from his sight.

But he didn't breathe a sigh of relief.

He was terrified that Jiang Ran's claim of letting him go was just to toy with him.

That later, when he let his guard down, he would burst out and crush all his hope, plunging him into absolute despair.

After all, this was a ruthless man who had just wiped out an entire family.
