AMRWFA -Chapter 154 The Childhood Sweetheart of the Overbearing Protagonist Who Was Brutally Killed

“Do you still remember Ji Mengqin from “The Abused and Murdered Childhood Sweetheart of the Overbearing Protagonist”, the one who framed Jian Lichang back then?”

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t have a good impression of her and originally had no intention of getting involved. But her son, Ru Anzhi, said, “Mom, you should step in. No matter what, that’s still a human life!”

Ruan Yaoyao turned her back to him, pretending not to hear.

“A human life is a human life—what does it have to do with me?”

“I’m not some saint.”

She said those heartless words out loud, but Ru Anzhi knew his mother was actually very soft-hearted—she just talked tough. Sure enough, after a bit more persuasion, Ruan Yaoyao reluctantly agreed.

Ru Anzhi found it a little amusing. If his mom truly didn’t want to help, she could’ve just walked away—he couldn’t force her anyway.

In the end, it all came down to her soft heart.

Ruan Yaoyao, now labeled as “soft-hearted”: “……”

【Damn! Damn! Damn!】

【Why are there so many psychos in this world?!】

【Ahhh… I’m going crazy!】

Ruan Yaoyao stared fixedly at Ji Mengqin’s boyfriend, never expecting to run into such a massive psychopath. This guy was comparable to Lan Yuanzhong, who had previously set his sights on her third son.

【Lan Yuanzhong was an obsessive—twisted by love. But this guy…】

【He’s actually a sadist?!】

【When he was young, he liked abusing small animals. As he grew older, he found that boring—if he was going to abuse something, it should at least be something bigger. So he set his sights on Ji Mengqin.】

【As his childhood sweetheart, she never got any of the good—only the bad.】

【Because they grew up together, Ji Mengqin never noticed that beneath his seemingly normal exterior was a refined scumbag. Completely deceived by appearances, she…】

【Became his girlfriend.】

【His future wife.】

Seeing what the two of them would do in the future, Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

Ji Mengqin wasn’t a good person to begin with, and paired with someone so malicious, the two of them became even worse together.

One came up with the ideas; the other carried them out and assisted.

If it were just him alone, many of his plans wouldn’t have worked. After all, as a man, most young women would be wary of him. But if it were Ji Mengqin—a woman—it was a different story.

So when Ji Mengqin pretended to be on her period and feeling unwell, she would coax kind-hearted young women into helping her buy sanitary pads. Then, in filthy public restrooms, she would help restrain them…

She would pretend to have twisted her ankle and trick female students into helping her home—only for a bright young life to be lost inside that shabby rental room.

Later, when she became pregnant, it became even easier to deceive people.

Ruan Yaoyao counted silently:

【1, 2, 3, 4…】

【After her belly started showing, it was basically one victim per month.】

【As expected, pregnant women are the easiest to lower people’s guard against.】

So why was Ji Mengqin eventually “brutally killed”?

Because the man found a new target. He began to despise Ji Mengqin for being old and unattractive after childbirth. He drugged her porridge with sleeping pills, dismembered her body, crushed the bones, and flushed everything down the toilet overnight.

As for the child Ji Mengqin gave birth to—a girl—he sold her for money.

…

Ruan Yaoyao felt deeply unsettled.

Fortunately, none of this had happened yet. Otherwise…

She turned to Ru Anzhi and said, “This guy is the same kind as Lan Yuanzhong. Handle it yourself.”

Then she handed over a pile of evidence of animal abuse. Compared to Lan Yuanzhong, Ji Mengqin’s boyfriend had been far less cautious—he had even taken photos and stored them on his computer to “revisit” later.

Well, now he could revisit them at the police station.

So what if no human life had been taken yet?

With someone like Lan Yuanzhong as precedent, they had every reason to stay vigilant.

Ruan Yaoyao even emphasized, worried they wouldn’t take it seriously: “You must keep a close eye on this man. He’s a complete psychopath! If he ever starts harming people, it’ll be too late to regret it!”

“Don’t worry, Mom. With Lan Yuanzhong as a precedent, we won’t let our guard down this time.”

After all, if not for his mother’s early discovery, those “attempted crimes” would have become actual crime scenes.

Ru Anzhi felt his mother was underestimating them.

“By the way, what are you planning to do about Ji Mengqin? Even if her boyfriend is the main culprit, she’s still an accomplice…”

【Without her help, many of his plans might not have gone so smoothly—he might never have gotten away with it all the way until her death.】

【He can be questioned under animal abuse charges, but what about Ji Mengqin?】

Ru Anzhi replied, “We’ll observe her first and see how things go.”

Since she hadn’t directly committed a crime yet, they would first see whether she would behave after being separated from her boyfriend. If she did, they’d let it go. But if she dared to act again, they’d cut her down without mercy.

What Ruan Yaoyao didn’t expect was that such psychopaths actually had a “circle.”

Lan Yuanzhong’s case had been relatively mild—he just liked men. He himself was extreme, but most people in his circle were fairly normal. But Ji Mengqin’s boyfriend’s circle was completely different—every single one of them had the same twisted inclinations.

Very well.

They would wipe them all out—investigate each one thoroughly.

As for Ruan Yaoyao, she went through a particularly exhausting period, being assigned to closely “observe” these people and ensure none slipped through the net.

To her surprise, she really did catch a few.

Some had already claimed victims. Thanks to Ruan Yaoyao’s warnings, they quickly located crime scenes with solid evidence and sent those people to prison.

Even though justice was served, Ruan Yaoyao felt terrible. For the first time, she realized just how many bad people existed in the world.

Seeing her like this, Ru Anzhi quickly comforted her: “Mom, there are still more good people than bad. You only feel like there are so many criminals because the list we gave you was made up entirely of these kinds of people. Narrow the scope like that, and of course the crime rate seems higher. Think about your whole life—how many criminals have you really met?”

Ruan Yaoyao shot him a resentful look. “And you have the nerve to say that? Isn’t this all your fault? I used to think the world was normal, but you insisted I help you observe people. Look what happened—now all I see are criminals. It feels like I’m surrounded by bad people. How am I supposed to go out now?”

“Don’t you have bodyguards, Mom?”

“So what if I do? That’s not 100% safe either. What about that family—their old master went missing, didn’t he?”

【Hmph! Don’t think I haven’t heard just because I’ve been busy.】

【The old master of the Ou family has disappeared.】

【A grown man that big—how does he just vanish?】

【He must’ve been kidnapped!】

Ru Anzhi said helplessly, “Mom, the case is still under investigation. The police don’t have a conclusion yet. It’s also possible that Old Master Ou left home on his own.”
