This was exactly what he had seen in the dream! How did this happen?! So what he saw then wasnât actually a dream. It really did happenâ¦
Had he really stabbed her with his bare hands? Impossible. He was not the one controlling his body at that time! Gong Fanâs thoughts became chaotic. Feeling a splitting headache coming on, he clutched his head.
Alice watched the video intently until it came to the part where Little Yichen appeared, just in time to stop him.
It was too close a call. If Mu Yichen hadnât appeared in time, Yun Shishi might have died.
It was no wonder that Mu Yichen hated Gong Fan to the core, having personally witnessed such a terrifying scene. Even now, the fear lingered. Just thinking about it, if he hadnât stopped the boy in time, the second stab wouldnât have been aimed at her abdomen but her chest. If her lungs had been punctured, then there would be absolutely nothing they could do!
âIt wasnât meâ¦â Gong Fan clasped his wrist in frustration. He remembered that both in the dream and in the video, this was the hand that had stabbed Yun Shishi. He gripped his wrist tightly, as if he wanted to break that sinful hand!
But⦠It really wasnât him! Why did this happen!? Was there a murderous demon living inside him? Or⦠Was it really him⦠Gong Fan no longer knew what to believe!
He had never thought that merely existing was so draining. He was even imagining that if he had withdrawn early on, he would have destroyed himself. Then, perhaps this would not have happened! Was his existence really a scourge? Gong Fan had self doubt and it ate at him.
Alice finished watching the footage but did not continue. She knew what she had to do. She ended the video and turned around. Everyone looked like they had their doubts.
She pondered for a moment and smiled at Mu Yazhe. âYoung Master Mu, may I ask you guys to leave the room. I wish to speak with Gong Fan alone.â
When he heard this, he looked worriedly at Gong Fan again. Lowering his head, he clenched his hands and frowned, seemingly lost in thought. His heart ached for the boy.
Alice immediately said, âDonât worry. Heâll be fine with me.â
Gong Jie knew, from what Alice had said, that there were some things he and Mu Yazhe should not be present to hear. âLetâs go!â he said.
The two of them left the room.
After the two of them walked out of the surveillance room, only Alice and Gong Fan were left. Alice said in a low voice, âI know you didnât do it.â
Gong Fan was stunned when he heard this. He initially expected an interrogation from Alice. He did not expect her to believe him!
âYou â¦believe me?â
âYou know, sometimes one can be deceived by what one sees. It can affect oneâs rational judgment.â Alice said solemnly, âAll that aside, I canât imagine you had a motive for stabbing your mommy. Even if you did kill her, what good would it do you?â
Gong Fan was silent for a long time before finally deciding to tell her everything that had happened. âI had a dream.â
âA dream?â
âUh huhâ¦â Gong Fan told Alice in detail what he had seen in his dream.
Alice listened. Then she fell silent.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow did that happen? Was I dreaming, orââ
