NovelEnglish"Thanks to you and your friends... If it weren't for you all, | wouldn't know where I'd be right now..." He rubbed
his hands together, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Perhaps he would have left behind his wandering life long
ago if someone had been willing to lend him a hand from the start.
Rita smiled and said, "Where else could you go? You'd still be stuck at that piece of land of course."
Virgil scratched the back of his head and chuckled. "Heh, you're right. But I still have to thank you all."
Rita nodded. "I also have to thank you for trusting me. Alright, | just cto see you. Since you're settling in so
quickly, I'll head back now. There's still a lot of work to be done."
Virgil walked a few steps with her, hesitated, and finally said, "I know figuring things out can be tough, but since
I've settled down now...you don't have to rush the matter. You can just take things at your own pace."
Rita understood his meaning; achieving this task alone would indeed be very difficult for her. Virgil was also
afraid she forced herself into a dead-end.
"Don't worry. I've never been alone on this path, and | won't foolishly attempt the impossible," Rita assured him.
Virgil nodded solemnly. "That's good. | don't want you to make such a big sacrifice forfor no reason."
Rita merely smiled. As she drove away, she could still see his diminishing figure in the rearview mirror, standing
there seeing her off.
She was not just doing this for Virgil; there could not possibly be only one victim in this matter.

Rita knew that saying these things might coff as pretentious. Others might criticize her for being overly
idealistic, but she was driven by a desire to reduce the number of victims and uncover the truth. That was why
she chose journalism as her profession. She hoped there would be fewer Virgils in the world.
Rita did not say it, but when she saw
Virgil interacting with those kids, she
felt a pang in her heart at the
warmth in his eyes. She could imagine how much he must have loved his children before this incident, how he
lost them, lost his family, and could only watch other people's children.
Was all of this supposed to be acceptable? Rita did not think so.
She pressed down on the accelerator, her destination set for New Capital Times.
There had been too many things happening, with too many tasks waiting for Rita to complete. Even though she
had been running around the scene for so long, she was feeling somewhat
overwhelmed.
However, it was not all bad news.
As soon as she returned to her desk, she found herself face-to-face with Chase. Just as she raised her head she
caught him avoiding her gaze Rita chuckled inwardly; it seemed her suspicions were not far off the mark. .
