Lishang Town.
Ji Ren lowered his head and looked at the droplets of rain falling on the ground. He remembered that young man who he and his younger brother Ji Ri met one day, under the rain, and offered them his umbrella despite he himself getting wet. That young man said he was a wandering detective, and guessed that it was them who killed Qiu Shi and Qiu Jiu's parents. Yet he didn't tell the other pair of siblings what he found out. Even if they threatened him, he only told them that he didn't have time to live long, anyway.
All that he asked of them in exchange for him keeping quiet is to mourn for the people that they killed, those who deserve to be mourned. And so they did. They didn't expect that young man to still live until now and even become Huichen's boss. So, he is none other than Meng Xing, and what is even more ironic is that not only Meng Xing fell in love with Ji Lin, their half-brother… Meng Xing even became the boss of Qiu Shi and Qiu Jiu!
