Early morning.
6:18 AM.
Lin Dazhi, who had been out cold all night.
He sat up abruptly, his eyes darting around in terror.
He found himself lying in bed.
"Was I dreaming last night? Ouch…"
Suddenly, a sharp pain in his left eye socket made his expression change.
He quickly grabbed his phone, opened the camera app, and took a look.
His eye socket was bruised purple and badly swollen.
Only then did he realize that what happened last night was definitely not a dream.
Looking panicked, he scrambled out of bed and rushed out of the room.
"You're awake?"
When he reached the living room, he saw Liu Hongmei cooking in the kitchen.
Lin Yu was already in his school uniform, sitting at the dining table.
"Dad? What happened to you?"
He glanced back, noticed the bruise around Lin Dazhi's eye, and quickly asked.
Lin Dazhi looked at Lin Yu with a flicker of terror in his eyes.
Then he looked at Liu Hongmei.
"Last night… did someone come into the house?"
