The message had arrived, but it wasn't the one she wanted to see; it came from a stranger's number, containing a link.
Tang Yanqi clicked on it and, after just two seconds of viewing, jumped out of bed, almost tumbling off in her haste, without even waiting to put on her shoes before sprinting out.
"Tangtang!"
Someone behind her shouted loudly, but Tang Yanqi paid no heed, oblivious to the biting cold wind and the numbness in her feet as she dashed to the school gate, jumped into the waiting taxi outside, and almost hysterically called out the Tang Family's address.
On the phone video, several ragged, dirty men were pressing down on a woman, whose face was given a close-up; she was her closest relative.
Tang Yanqi's mind was already incapable of any coherent thought, and the car sped off rapidly in the early morning, allowing Tang Yanqi to rush into the Tang Family's house, where no one had even risen yet.
