Yes, living means to live well, and this statement from Gu Xiaolan seemed more like a reminder to himself. But what exactly was going on? The holder of this online ID was Wu Qingqing, yet it was her roommate, An Yun Ni, who had died. Was there a mix-up? 0
 
Gu Xiaolan carefully recalled the events of that night: he watched Song Yan leave the room and took a photo of him as he departed. Then, at the agreed time, he knocked on Wu Qingqing's door, and she let him in. When she saw him, Wu Qingqing sighed in relief: "You really came! Everything is fine; just as you said, his emotions are relatively stable. You did well." 0
 
Once inside, Gu Xiaolan followed his plan and, wearing gloves, strangled Wu Qingqing. He deleted files from her computer and made the scene appear chaotic. Afterward, he used the photo timestamped with Song Yan's departure to threaten him into killing Wan Jiu Xiang. 0
 
Prior to this, Gu Xiaolan had done two things. First, the sensational story about Song Yan and Wu Qingqing that had gone viral on online forums coincidentally connected him with Wu Qingqing. Gu Xiaolan subtly showcased his affluent lifestyle to her while posing as a mature man who could counsel the troubled Wu Qingqing. When Wu Qingqing received a threatening letter from the heartbroken Song Yan, she dismissed it as nothing more than a pity for a hurt boy. 0
 
The best solution was for Wu Qingqing to invite Song Yan over for a heart-to-heart conversation, which would naturally resolve everything. However, Wu Qingqing felt it was unsafe; what if he acted out? This played right into Gu Xiaolan's hands. He offered to come to her house but said he would wait outside if he didn't show up; if anything happened, he would rush in. Moreover, Gu Xiaolan concealed his true location in Chengdu by lying that he was also in Chongqing. 0
 
Secondly, he investigated Wan Jiu Xiang's life and discovered that Wan Jiu Xiang was having an affair with a woman behind Chen Fang's back. To ensure that Wan Jiu Xiang could park smoothly in front of Song Yan, Gu Xiaolan sent him photos of his rendezvous with his mistress under the guise of blackmailing him for money into an account. Subsequently, at the agreed time and place, a student-like boy would deliver the hard drive containing the photos to him. Thus, Wan Jiu Xiang walked straight into the death trap Gu Xiaolan had set. 0
 
Gu Xiaolan felt that everything was perfectly concealed. Even if Song Yan turned against him, he would never trace it back to him. But now, unexpectedly, Wu Qingqing had come online again; he had killed the wrong person! 0
 
What did the living Wu Qingqing know? Did she hold back that day out of fear of facing Song Yan and sent her roommate An Yun Ni to meet him instead? That put him in danger since Wu Qingqing knew he had been present that night! Fortunately, Wu Qingqing did not know his true identity. It seemed she also had no idea that Gu Xiaolan was the murderer! 0
 
"If only you had stayed a little longer that day," Wu Qingqing suddenly said. 0
 
"Oh... I didn't stay long; Song Yan was relatively mature; there wasn't much for me to do," Gu Xiaolan exhaled lightly, relieved that Wu Qingqing did not suspect anything. Then he comforted her like a caring older brother. 0
 
Soon after, his doorbell rang. Puzzled about who it could be, he opened the door to find Zhuo Jianxuan and Yu Jiushun along with several other police officers standing at his doorstep. 0
