Chapter 56

Who Stole My Heart [是谁偷走我的心 Shì Shéi Tōu Zǒu Wǒ De Xīn] is the fifty-sixth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Standing on a balcony at a beach resort, a girl with long brown hair is talking to someone, remarking how fortunate she was to meet them during her vacation. The person she is addressing is a purple-haired man named "Yue", who has a blue crescent moon tattoo on the left side of his neck. The two express their love for each other and kiss.

The chapter cuts to a morgue, where the brown-haired girl's corpse is held. A forensic pathologist details that the girl is 17 years old, died 6 hours ago at the Guo River Resort, has no external injuries and exhibits no signs of poisoning. Wuren, who is accompanying the examiner wonders if the death is due to sudden cardiac arrest. The pathologist notes that the actual cause of death is related to the heart and shows Wuren an x-ray of the victim's chest, revealing that the deceased girl's heart is missing. Wuren realizes that someone is stealing hearts to "collect bloodstones", a slang for sacrificing human lives to cultivate one's power. A government official then appears, telling Wuren that the girl isthe third victim to die at the resort so far. He further notifies him that since the resort is an important project to the city, if the supernatural deaths were to affect the revenue for the resort and by extension the government's financial income, Xiahou High School's budget will be difficult to distribute by the end of the year. Wuren assures the superior that the incident will be taken care of quickly, who informs him that the government can only conceal the incident for three days, and the police will be involved afterwards, at which point Xiahou will lose their budget. Wuren immediately departs to inform the principal.

At Xiahou High School, Wuren tells Wang Shengli about the details of the case and that the serial killer specifically targets single young women. Wang Shengli laments about their three-day deadline, and since the school had to be rebuilt twice, the school will go bankrupt if they don't receive the budget. Wang Shengli then orders to have Huang Xiaoyan disguise herself as a tourist at the resort and lure out the killer since she fits the description of the victims. Wuren agrees and notifies that he already brought a swimsuit.

Some time later, Xi Sha demands to know why she was not given a swimsuit. Wuren tells her that the killer only targets young women, not children. This angers Xi Sha, who bites Wuren's head. Wang Shengli then orders all the guardians to head to the resort and buy their swimsuits there and instructs them to seduce the killer if they can, and if they can't, lie in wait to ambush them. The guardians then depart.
