After inspecting the cornfield, Gu Xi had just returned to her dorm when she received a call from Li Ming.
In the video call, Li Ming looked somewhat weary. "Xiaoxi, I know everything. It was Li Xiao."
Gu Xi frowned. "Li Xiao? Your... cousin?"
Gu Xi remembered Li Xiao, but it wasn't him who had left a deep impression—it was his absolutely terrible parents.
Back then, those awful people had somehow found out that Li Ming wasn't dead and was even doing well at the Central Base. They had shown up with their whole family in tow, insisting that Li Ming take care of them from then on.
Having had his family's assets seized by that couple before being personally shoved into a horde of zombies, Li Ming naturally refused.
The couple then brought up Li Ming's parents, who had been dead for years. They claimed that Li Ming's father had sworn at his own father's deathbed that he would take care of his younger brother—Li Xiao's father—for his entire life.
