I tiptoed to the door, took a deep breath, and then opened it.
Lai Shenglin stood at the entrance, wearing a brand new shirt and holding a bouquet of flowers, clearly here for a date.
When he saw me covered in blood, the smile on his face instantly froze.
"Zhu... Zhu Quan? What happened? Why are you here? Where's A Mei?"
"Come in and see for yourself," I said, stepping aside to let him in, my voice surprisingly calm.
Lai Shenglin eyed me warily, hesitated for a moment, but eventually stepped inside.
As he took in the bloodstains all over the room and the three corpses, he seemed struck by lightning, frozen in place.
"You... you killed them?" His voice trembled, his face pale.
I nodded slowly, closed the door, locked it, and turned to him. "Do you know what she said, Lai Shenglin? She said the child isn't mine."
Lai Shenglin stepped back in panic. "Zhu Quan, calm down. Let's talk this through. You've already killed three people; you can't..."
"Do you know?" I emphasized each word as I advanced toward him.
Cold sweat broke out on Lai Shenglin's forehead as he backed into a corner with nowhere to escape. "I... I don't know; I really don't know..."
"Liar!"
I suddenly shouted, "Do you dare say you didn’t know? Do you dare say that after all this time sneaking around with A Mei behind my back, you had no idea about this?"
Lai Shenglin finally broke down, kneeling on the ground and pleading for mercy. "Zhu Quan, brother, I was wrong; I truly realize my mistake. A Mei seduced me; she said... she said she never liked you and that it was her idea... Please let me go..."
"Let you go?" I scoffed coldly. "Just like you let me go?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Lai Shenglin's eyes. "Yes, yes! We’re brothers! I know I was wrong; I won't dare again..."
I crouched down to meet his gaze. "Lai Shenglin, the biggest regret of my life is knowing you."
Before the words left my lips, the shard of porcelain in my hand had already pierced his throat.
Lai Shenglin's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at me, his hands clutching his bleeding neck while making gurgling sounds.
He struggled for a few moments before quickly going still.
I stood up numbly and gazed at the four corpses before me.
The humiliation of six years seemed to find its release in that moment.
I dragged my heavy footsteps to the sofa and sat down, picking up the phone. "110, I've killed someone."
I don't know how long it was before there was a knock on the door followed by the sound of sirens.
"Police! Open up!"
I remained still, just sitting there in silence.
When the officers broke through the door, they were met with the sight of four bodies lying in their own pools of blood, while I sat on the sofa, covered in blood and motionless.
"Oh my God..." a young police officer gasped.
I lifted my head and stared blankly at them. "I killed them... I killed them all..."
Just like that, I was handcuffed and led to the police car.
Everything was over.
In the interrogation room, my hands were tightly secured in handcuffs, and my wrists had already begun to bleed, but I felt no pain.
Two detectives sat across from me.
"Zhu Quan, why did you kill those four people?"
I raised my head, my gaze vacant. "I just wanted a home, a home that respected me. They took everything from me... my dignity, even my son..."
"Tell us what happened," the young detective said as he handed me a glass of water.
I mechanically took the glass but didn't drink a single drop.
