The Unending Abyss

A string of murders took place in Rongcheng over the course of a month. Lu Yan, deputy captain of the criminal investigation squad, discovered that all the cases seemed to be connected to a man named Shen Qiao. The investigation revealed that Shen Qiao was currently involved with three men. One was the only son of Rongcheng’s richest man. He went blind after a climbing accident, and Shen Qiao was his attending physician. He was currently pursuing Shen Qiao. One was Rongcheng’s resident rich playboy. After Shen Qiao beat him up a few times, he was now pursuing Shen Qiao. One was a famous Rongcheng celebrity, who lived next door to one of Shen Qiao’s properties. He was also currently pursuing Shen Qiao. Like several of the murder victims, all three men had different connections to a high school boy who died by suicide 18 years ago after being bullied at school. Lu Yan showed up at Shen Qiao’s door and wedged himself inside with a smile. “Dr. Shen, I’ve been suspended. I have no money and nowhere to stay. Can you put me up for a few days?” Lu Yan’s father was the richest man in the capital. Even after moving a thousand miles away to Rongcheng on his own, he’d managed to become deputy captain of the criminal investigation squad. With all that money and ability, was he really going to be homeless? But Shen Qiao simply set up a fingerprint lock for him, his expression calm. “Remember to shower every day.” Reader’s guide: Shen Qiao is a genius, Shen Qiao has a golden finger, and Shen Qiao is irresistible to everyone. Lu Yan loves taking showers. He just doesn’t always have time when he’s out on a mission. These lovebirds are meant to be. The setting is fictional. This is a revenge story, not a police procedural, and it’s not meant to be realistic. Theme: Though trapped in hell, keep your heart set on heaven
