“What happened here?”
Momo frowned while looking around the resort. He saw that this hotel was guarded by some people.
They were policemen, not common people.
Momo couldn’t help hesitating.
Policemen were the ones they least like to deal with— Because no matter what happened, fighting with them would always mean going against the will of this country.
It’d be hard to cast off the ‘karma of Taoism’ if Taoists got into trouble with the will of the country.
So the unspoken rules in Taoists’ circle were to avoid affairs that government staff took over.
The young Taoism master thought this way but Luo Aiyu considered it to be totally different. Although he saved her just now, she preferred to believe in the police compared to this unknown person.
She trusted the police would keep her safe no matter where they came from.
Luo Aiyu ran out from her hidden place towards a policeman at her house, shouting, “Help! Help!”
Momo hated how the villagers in Lui Village disregarded human life. But this time, this young master was started to become fed up with that woman.
Watching Luo Aiyu saying something to that policeman, Momo passed by the two secretly. He climbed over the wall, sneaking in the resort.
He didn’t act rudely but was just trying to figure out if the issue of Lui Village was related to that mysterious senior.
‘I’ll be safe if I avoid a head-on confrontation with him.’
…
…
The girl breathed in deeply, getting to the point rather than telling the story about the blue-star flowers, “I don’t know how you left… but I don’t want anyone to meddle in my affairs. What’s your plan?”
Luo Qiu drew back his palm, along with that blue-star together, “I just want to help finish someone’s wish.”
Lui Yiyun gave a start, her puzzled expressions became more and more serious.
The girl sized him up carefully– She didn’t know why the mastermind behind these evil acts didn’t tell the truth to those policemen.
From the conversation between Luo Qiu and the policeman, they should be very familiar and had a good relationship. But apparently, he deliberately hid it.
“Who? Who asked you to help me?”
“You only need to know and trust that I came to help you.” Luo Qiu shook his head, “Tell me, what are you going to do besides getting all the members infected?”
Lui Yiyun’s look changed, crying out involuntarily, “It’s you… You got them infected? Why did you do so?”
While Luo Qiu asked back with curiosity, “Then why did you do so? Or is there anything different between getting dozens of people infected and all of them? Killing one or ten, taking revenge on one or ten, hurting one or ten, is there any difference? Or you schemed so much just for fun?”
Lui Yiyun lowered her head, her body quivered faintly.
She thought that these questions had already generated long ago before she made the decision to commit crimes.
The girl took a deep breath. Those questions that she had never purposely avoided nor considered deliberately forced her to make a choice.
“Nothing different.”
She repeated while looking at Luo Qiu, “There’s no difference, but…”
She tried to say something.
But someone interrupted.
“Ah! You’re all here!”
It was Lizi running out in a hurry, “Yiyun, your mother came back!”
…
“Officer, those are the exact b*stards! Catch them and put them in prison for a dozen years… No, let them die there! These bastards caught me and tried to throw me down from the cliff this morning…”
Luo Aiyu’s shriek and yell were heard after they came in— Because of Ma Houde who held his black pistol, all the villagers lowered heads without saying.
Luo Qiu found Ma Houde looking badly— might be due to her uproar.
“Madam, be calm. We’ll act by the laws, don’t worry.” Ma Houde muddled through his work.
If he could convict somebody, he’d catch them without hesitation. However, it was quite complicated to deal with collective behaviors.
Getting all of them sentenced?
That’d be impossible. At most, catch some leaders and release others… There were too many people!
“How can I calm down? I almost died!”
Luo Aiyu still screamed. Ma Houde rolled up his eyes, then turned to Ren Ziling for help.
Ren Ziling pretended not to see him… she tried to avoid from dealing with her but couldn’t resist when Ma Houde implored, “Yiyun, come here! Your mother is safe.”
All sights had been concentrated on that girl. So Lui Yiyun had to glance at Luo Aiyu, walking to her.
Luo Aiyu pulled Lui Yiyun, looking at Ma Houde, “Officer! She’s a witness! My daughter, she witnessed the course of the incident with Ms. Ren! She can prove what I told you!”
“Mom… calm down, the officers know what they should do,” Lui Yiyun said in a low voice.
Luo Aiyu was furious by her words, pushing her down the ground, yelling, “Calm? How can I be calm? Are you not going to help me? Then step aside! Don’t disturb me!”
The girl lay on the ground, lowering her head without words.
You Ye came to Luo Qiu stealthily, telling him something. Luo Qiu nodded but didn’t act.
Except saying slightly, “It’s time to end it.”
…
“She’s your daughter, you should not treat her like this!” Ren Ziling helped Lui Yiyun to stand up, glaring at Luo Aiyu.
While Luo Aiyu snorted, “You should know there’s no blood ties between us! Do you think she treats me like her mom? She didn’t even smile at me since her childhood!”
“Then what?”
A hoarse voice followed Luo Aiyu’s scream— a middle-aged man appeared at the entrance of the room, both eyes glaring at her.
“Officer Ma… this man said he’s the boss, we can’t stop him.” a young cop said to him, “He even brought a patient here!”
“What?” Ma Houde gaped, “Control him, quickly!”
But Lui Hai walked straight to Luo Aiyu as if he didn’t see others. He stared at her ruthlessly, saying in a low voice, “Didn’t smile, so what?”
Luo Aiyu always swore at this guy since she was married here. She never received such a bad attitude from him. She gnashed, “Lui Hai! Dare you say that again? You useless man, where were you when I was caught this morning? You said nothing when your wife was taken away, but you roar at me? OK, are you a man?”
Slap—!
The boss slapped his wife on the cheek.
The sound was so loud and brutal, which made all who heard it felt painful, let alone Luo Aiyu who flew into a rage by the slap.
“You, you dare to hit me?!” Luo Aiyu covered her cheek with her hands, and was hard to speak out due to the anger or fright.
Slap—!
Lui Hai slapped her on the other cheek, the same as the first one relentlessly, “If you act wildly here, I’ll seal your mouth, watch me!”
Seeing Lui Hai raising his hand, Luo Aiyu’s face turned pale due to fright— she never saw such atrocious Lui Hai before.
Unwittingly, Luo Aiyu stepped behind Officer Ma, grabbing his arm, “Officer, did you hear it! You see it right? He’s going to hit me and kill me!”
“…Madam, we cannot lend a hand in your family affairs.” Ma Houde said officially, “Can you try to communicate with each other? Harmony brings wealth, couples should…”
“You!!!”
Ma Houde… Officer Ma whistled, putting his hands back and taking two steps away.
Now, Lui Hai put down his hand, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. He walked to Lui Yiyun
He looked at his daughter but said nothing.
Under Lui Hai’s sight, Lui Yiyun lowered her head as if she was scared or frightened.
While Lui Hai sighed, he touched Lui Yiyun’s face with his hands. The girl raised her head suddenly, a slight hint of fright was hidden in her look.
Lui Hai turned to Ma Houde, “Officer, detain me. I’m the one who spread the virus in the village.”
