Yes.
Despite Diao Ruru's active search for her elder brother,
her heart was even more desperate and pessimistic than Diao Deyi's.
Even from the first day her brother disappeared, she had contemplated the possibility that he might already be deceased.
Diao Ruru just didn't want to give up. She wanted to see him alive or find his body; it was as simple as that.
But if even Diao Deyi encountered trouble...
Diao Ruru dared not think further, her slender figure trembling slightly in the crowd, her expression seeming to forcibly endure some emotion.
Batch after batch of prisoners were brought up for execution.
But when the last batch of prisoners to be executed were brought in, evening was approaching.
The crowd's fervor remained undiminished, with cries of denunciation echoing.
Diao Ruru looked up again.
She scanned the area and felt slightly relieved.
Diao Deyi was not among these people.
