151: Chapter 151 Bringing Xiao Baihe Back to ZhongzhouSuch treatment was administered twice a week.

A month later, Chairman Zhao began experiencing auditory hallucinations.

”Uncle Zhao... it hurts...”

”Uncle Zhao... why...”

He didn’t dare sleep night after night. Closing his eyes brought the faces of those children.

A final confession?

One month before the execution, the prison allowed the last family visit.

Lin Wanqing did not come.

Zhao Tianyu came. Father and son looked at each other through the glass.

Zhao Tianyu had lost a lot of weight, his gaze complex.

”Dad.” His voice was hoarse.

Chairman Zhao’s lips trembled. ”Tianyu... I’m sorry...”

”Those children,” Zhao Tianyu interrupted him, ”their parents never even got the chance to hear an ’I’m sorry’.”

Silence.

”I’m undergoing psychological therapy,” Zhao Tianyu said. ”The doctor says I might never escape the shadows because my father is a monster.”

Chairman Zhao wept bitterly.

”Mom changed her name and moved to another city,” Zhao Tianyu continued. ”I plan to change mine too. The surname Zhao... is too filthy.”

The visitation time was up.

Zhao Tianyu stood, giving his father one last look.

”In the next life... if there really is one... be a good person.”

He turned and left without looking back.

The night before the execution.

Chairman Zhao was permitted to write a final letter.

He held the pen, his hand shaking too much to form words.

In the end, he only wrote three lines:

”To the parents of all the victimized children: I’m sorry.”

”I know these words are worthless.”

”To Tianyu: Forget a father like me. Live well.”

”To Wanqing: Thank you for finally... letting me see my son.”

Then he tore up the letter.

”I don’t deserve to leave any words behind.”

That night, he stayed awake until dawn.

At four in the morning, footsteps echoed in the prison corridor.

He knew the time had come.

...

The next day.

Five in the morning, the sky still dark.

Chairman Zhao was led from his cell, changed into clean prison clothes, and bound tightly.

Identity verified, signatures and fingerprints taken.

In the vehicle transporting him to the execution ground, he looked outside through the barred window.

The city still slept under dim streetlights.

He remembered twenty years ago, when he was just a laborer on a construction site, covered in mud every day, but his wife would cook him a bowl of hot noodles when he came home at night.

Back then, he didn’t yet know how important money was, how seductive power could be, how terrifying desire was.

”If only...” he murmured to himself.

But there were no ’if only’s.

The execution ground, the injection room.

He was secured to the bed, his arm sterilized.

The prosecutor read aloud the Supreme Court’s approval of the death sentence.

Chairman Zhao closed his eyes.

The needle entered his vein.

The drug was pushed in.

He felt a wave of coldness, then his consciousness began to blur.

His final thought was of the smiling faces of those children.

Lin Xiaoyu’s smile with a missing front tooth.

The backs of the twin sisters holding hands.

Xiao Nian holding up a drawing, saying, ’Look, Uncle Zhao.’

”I’m... sorry...”

The heart monitor flatlined.

At exactly seven o’clock in the morning, the court announced:

”The criminal Zhao Chengan, having been approved by the Supreme People’s Court, was executed today.”

...

A month later, a public memorial ceremony was held in Nanhe County.

Seven children’s tombstones stood within the newly built ’Children’s Safety Theme Park’.

Before Xiao Nian’s tombstone, Xiao Baihe placed a bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

”Xiao Jing, Mom has avenged you,” she said softly. ”That demon is dead.”

Cao Kun stood not far away, not approaching.

A system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding, mission complete. Rewards have been deposited into the host’s Bank account. Please check.]

In the past, Cao Kun would have been pleased upon completing a mission.

But today, he felt no joy.

He turned and left.

Outside the Park, the sunlight was just right.

Several children ran and played on the grass, their laughter crisp.

One mother called out anxiously, ”Slow down! Don’t fall!”

Another mother laughed, ”Let them play. It’s safe here.”

Yes, at least this corner was safe for now.

...

For half a month after Chairman Zhao’s execution, Cao Kun stayed in Nanhe County, accompanying Xiao Baihe through all the remaining procedures.

During those days, he watched her slowly climb out of the abyss of despair.

Going to the police station for the final statement, collecting her daughter’s belongings, attending psychological counseling for victims’ families organized by the procuratorate...

Each task was like cutting the wound anew, but Xiao Baihe gritted her teeth and endured.

”I must live on.”

One night, sitting by the hotel window looking at the county town lights, she said softly to Cao Kun.

”Xiao Jing certainly wouldn’t want her mother to become a walking corpse. I want to see this world for her, see the sights she never got to see.”

Cao Kun handed her a glass of warm water. ”It’s good that you’ve come to terms with it.”

”It’s because of you,” Xiao Baihe said, taking the glass. Her fingers lightly touched Cao Kun’s hand and did not immediately pull away.

”If not for you, I might have died by that river long ago, let alone learned the truth, let alone... gotten revenge.”

Her eyes shone in the night light—not with tears, but with a faint glimmer of rebirth.

A week later, all formalities were completed.

As Xiao Baihe packed her luggage, her belongings were pitifully few.

A few clothes, toiletries, a box of her daughter’s belongings, and a new suitcase Cao Kun had bought for her.

”There’s nothing left to linger for... in Nanhe County,” she said calmly, standing in the center of the hotel room, looking around.

Cao Kun picked up the suitcase. ”Then let’s go to Zhongzhou City. Start a new life.”

Cao Kun rented a fully furnished apartment for Xiao Baihe in the eastern district of Zhongzhou City.

Two bedrooms, one living room, facing south, filled with sunlight.

The Residential Complex was quiet, with gardens and a fitness area, and decent security.

”It’s a twenty-minute drive from my company. There’s a Supermarket and a Subway station nearby,” Cao Kun said, opening the door. ”Take a look first. If you don’t like it, we can change it.”

Xiao Baihe walked into the apartment, her eyes gradually brightening.

The living room was spacious and bright, with a cream-colored sofa, a wooden coffee table, and a small balcony beyond the floor-to-ceiling window.

The kitchen was fully equipped. The bedding in the bedroom was brand new, light blue stripes, giving off a cozy feel.

”This... this is too good,” she said, somewhat flustered. ”The rent must be expensive. I’ll pay you back once I get a job.”

”No need to pay back,” Cao Kun said, wheeling the suitcase in. ”The company has a housing subsidy for employees that covers the rent. Consider it a company benefit.”

”But I’m not an employee yet...”

”You will be tomorrow,” Cao Kun smiled. ”Shining Radiance Advertising Company, Customer Service Department. Starting monthly salary of eight thousand, with social security and housing fund. Do you accept?”
