This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

“Liao Fei, Zhou Yanan, residing at 1801, Building 9, Tianchen Residential Complex.”

Lin Jue parked the shared bicycle, looking at the navigation on his phone. The map showed there were still thirty meters to go.

Tianchen Residential Complex was located in the High-tech Development Zone. Everything here was new, the complex was decorated in a high-end and luxurious style, and the housing prices were among the most expensive in the entire Sanjiang.

It could be seen that Liao Fei's family was quite well-off.

The young security guard standing at the entrance reached out to stop Lin Jue, who was planning to sneak in with a resident: “What are you doing?”

Lin Jue took out a business card from a moving company, smiling ingratiatingly as he handed it over: “I’m from a moving company. The owner of 1801, Building 9, asked me to come help with the move.”

“Moving?” The security guard glanced at the business card and then looked behind Lin Jue: “What kind of move can you do by yourself?”

This security guard was clearly more vigilant than the previous front desk receptionist and did not easily believe Lin Jue's words.

“I’m just here to see what needs to be moved, to get an estimate and see how many people to call.” Lin Jue said without changing his expression, making up a story on the spot.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go ask the owner.” The security guard took the business card and turned to walk into the security booth. Lin Jue shamelessly followed him in.

The young security guard picked up the landline phone on the table and looked at Lin Jue: “What building and number did you say just now?”

“Building 9, 1801.”

Lin Jue watched as the other party's finger pressed the numbers 91801 on the keyboard. This should directly dial the owner's doorbell phone.

The phone rang several times, but no one answered.

“What’s wrong?” An older security guard walked in at this moment, his eyes scanning Lin Jue.

The young security guard walked over and handed the business card over: “Captain, this person said he’s from a moving company. I was calling the owner of 1801, Building 9, to confirm.”

The security captain's hand, which was about to take the business card, paused as if he had been electrocuted: “What number?”

“Building 9, 1801.” Lin Jue replied. From the other party's reaction, he could roughly guess something.

The person he was looking for must have had an accident.

“The owner of that house disappeared three months ago. What move is he talking about?”

Hearing the security captain's question, Lin Jue's face showed a shocked expression. He opened his mouth in disbelief: “Impossible, he called our company a week ago, saying he wanted to move, left this address, and even said his name, something like…”

Saying this, he pretended to be thinking hard: “Seems like it was called Liao Fei!”

“I told you, the person has already disappeared.” The security captain said, wanting to drive Lin Jue away. He definitely knew something, but he was unwilling to say more.

“Hey, bro, don’t push me. What you said is making me panic. Could it be a ghost who called me?”

Lin Jue stubbornly braced the door frame with his elbow, took out a pack of Huazi cigarettes from his pocket, and offered one to the security captain: “Bro, at least finish what you were saying, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep tonight!”

Whether it was Lin Jue's words or the cigarette that worked, the security captain's strength eased a bit. Lin Jue took the opportunity to squeeze back into the room and offered a cigarette to the young security guard as well, thoughtfully lighting them for both of them.

“Bro, you just said the owner of 1801 disappeared. What exactly is the situation?”

The security captain took a puff of the cigarette holder. In the swirling smoke, his expression fell into reminiscence.

“The owner of 1801 is called Liao Fei. He’s the owner of a car repair shop, with a solid family background. A family of three moved into this complex when it was just built.”

A family of three?

There were only two names on the diary. Where did the child go?

Lin Jue didn't stand on ceremony at all, pulled up a stool and sat down.

“It’s a pity, originally a happy family of three, but the child’s mother had a serious illness a year ago, and tens of thousands were spent but she couldn’t be saved. She left the child and his father to depend on each other.”

“In the beginning, it was okay. I could often see the father and son chatting and laughing while strolling in the complex, but later, half a year later, the father started dating a new girlfriend, finding a stepmother for the child.”

“Ever since that woman came, the child was often abused. It’s said that once there’s a stepmother, the biological father will turn into a stepfather, and that’s absolutely true.”

The security captain smacked his lips on the cigarette, his expression regretful: “In the beginning, they just wouldn’t give the child food to eat, but later, if there was even the slightest dissatisfaction, they would beat the child severely. Sometimes when I patrolled the complex at night, I could often hear the child’s miserable cries coming from their house.”

“Once, I even saw him beating the child at the entrance of the complex. The stepmother not only didn’t dissuade him, but also fanned the flames on the side. If I hadn’t stopped him in time, the child might have been beaten to death.”

The security captain was a very empathetic person. Speaking to this point, his eyes were filled with tears: “That child was only 6 years old. He had just lost his biological mother, and after a stepmother came, his own biological father started abusing him. It’s truly a sin!”

“In less than two months, the child was covered in injuries, as thin as a skeleton. The child, who was originally very lively and cheerful, now hid from people when he saw them, and started trembling all over at the sound of his father’s voice.”

“Just three months ago, I noticed that I hadn’t seen that child for a long time. I went to 1801 and knocked on the door. There was only a very weak cry in the room.”

“That voice was intermittent, like a kitten about to breathe its last. I realized something was wrong and quickly called the police.”

“When the police came, Liao Fei of 1801 and his girlfriend had disappeared. There was a cage on the balcony of the room…”

The security captain couldn't continue speaking, his shoulders shaking, suppressing his sobs: “That child was lying in the cage.”

“There was a basin in the cage, and there were only a few strands of clear water noodles in the basin. I can't even imagine how he managed to hold on.”

Lin Jue was silent, unable to imagine that there could be such a father in this world.

“So where is that child now?” He lit a cigarette for himself as well. The smoke entering his lungs made his chest feel a little stuffy.

“The police searched for a long time but couldn’t find Liao Fei. That guy must have been afraid that his child abuse would be exposed and he would be arrested, so he ran away with that stepmother.”

“This child doesn’t have any other relatives, so we can only wait for the child’s injuries to heal before temporarily sending the child to the welfare home.”

The security captain wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, his emotions low: “It’s a good thing that the beastly father disappeared. Although the conditions at the welfare home are just so-so, at least the child won’t be abused anymore.”

Welfare home?

Sanjiang Xiaohonghua Welfare Home, Liao Fan?

Lin Jue remembered the slip of paper that had fallen out of the diary at that time.

At that time, he hadn't associated this slip of paper with the name Liao Fei, but now, after listening to the security captain, he realized that Liao Fan must be the abused child.

“If I had called the police a little earlier, the child’s face probably wouldn’t have turned out like that.” The security captain was full of self-blame, his heart aching: “Those are scars that will last a lifetime. That beast could even do that!”

Lin Jue patted the other party's shoulder, comforting him: “Bro, you’ve already done enough. If you hadn’t discovered it in time, that child might have already died in the cage.”

Even without the influence of the mist, some things can no longer be called human.

Like that Mr. Zhu in the script under the bed, and now this Liao Fei.
