Chapter 15

The anniversary of my grandmother’s death was approaching.

I planned to head back to my hometown, and Gu Weizhi decided to come along this time. “Such a remarkable woman deserves a proper visit. I need to pray for her to bless her granddaughter and me so we can grow old together.”

I hadn’t been back in years, and the old house was more dilapidated than I remembered, covered in a thick layer of dust. I suggested staying at a hotel, but Gu Xun’an insisted we tidy the place up.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about how to renovate the house. Once we have children, we can bring them back here during their summer and winter breaks.”

He had a whole list of ideas for the repairs. Listening to his thoughtful little plans, my heart felt warm.

It gave me a sense of peace, a feeling that the dust had finally settled and the future was bright.

When we reached the bathroom, he pointed toward a window. “We’ll need to reinforce this part. Otherwise, what if a thief breaks in again?”

Something flickered in the back of my mind. Keeping my expression neutral, I replied, “You’re right. We should.”

But the moment I turned away, the smile on my face vanished.

A chill surged through my body like an icy tide.

I had never mentioned it to anyone.

Back then, the killer had entered through that very window.

There were bathrooms on both the east and west sides of the first floor, with four windows in total. Yet, the spot Gu Xun’an pointed to…

Without a single inch of error.

It was the exact place where the killer had climbed in all those years ago.
