The individual standing outdoors the door was not a prostitute, however the proprietor of the small lodge. He shrank his neck after being yelled at by Li Zhenruo, after which mentioned, “Is little brother sleeping? I’m right here to vary your room. “
“Change room?” Li Zhenruo was puzzled, “What room?”
The boss mentioned, “This room has a leaky sewer pipe, and the downstairs residents are complaining, so this room might be quickly unavailable. I’ll provide you with a brand new room.”
Li Zhenruo nonetheless felt unusual and requested, “Which room ought to I alter to?”
The boss mentioned, “Don’t fear, I’ll provide you with a greater one, and I gained’t cost you any more cash.”
Li Zhenruo felt that there was nothing improper with it when he heard the boss say that. He didn’t have any baggage, and he didn’t even take off his garments, so he mentioned to the boss, “Then let’s change.”
The boss led him upstairs and opened a brand new room for him.
After he entered, Li Zhenruo discovered that it was far more comfy than the one simply now. No less than the beds appeared clear and wrinkle-free, and the toiletries within the rest room have been full.
The boss left him the important thing card and left. Li Zhenruo then lay down on the mattress, closed his eyes and slept comfortably.
When he awakened the subsequent morning, Li Zhenruo purchased two buns for breakfast at a close-by bakery store. He stood on the aspect of the street nibbling on the buns and walked slowly in the direction of the station to take the automobile.
Simply as he walked to the station, a automobile stopped beside him and requested, “The place are you going? Do you wish to take the automobile?”
When Li Zhenruo noticed it was a black automobile, he didn’t intend to reply.
The motive force persevered, “The place are you going? How about I provide you with a free trip?”
Li Zhenruo appeared him up and down and felt that if the person was not loopy, then he had different concepts. He considered the lodge proprietor who got here to vary his room in the midst of the night time final night time, Li Zhenruo couldn’t assist leaning towards the automobile door, and bent all the way down to ask the motive force, “Did somebody ask you to present me a trip?”
The motive force gave the impression to be an sincere man, and when Li Zhenruo requested him, he closed his mouth and didn’t converse.
Li Zhenruo knocked on the automobile door and mentioned, “I gained’t trip in your automobile, so go away.”
After he mentioned that, he stood up straight and watched the motive force drive away.
After some time, when Li Zhenruo was about to get on the bus, one other small automobile stopped in entrance of the station. The individual driving the automobile honked the horn, after which lowered the window.
Li Zhenruo appeared again and noticed that the individual sitting within the driver’s seat turned out to be Yan Xiujie. He was slightly stunned as a result of after pondering that somebody was secretly taking care of him, Li Zhenruo’s first thought was that Li Zhenran had adopted him, and even when it wasn’t Li Zhenran, that individual needs to be Hua Yi Bang. How may or not it’s Yan Xiujie?
Did Yan Xiujie acknowledge him? It’s actually not that possible.
He walked in the direction of the automobile and requested, “Why are you right here?”
Yan Xiujie mentioned, “Second Younger Grasp requested me to come back.”
Li Zhenruo had already guessed this chance in his coronary heart, however after listening to Yan Xiujie say it, he nonetheless felt slightly sophisticated. He couldn’t assist asking, “What did he ask you to do?”
Yan Xiujie additionally appeared slightly confused, and mentioned, “He solely mentioned to come back over and to secretly take care of you.”
Secretly… Li Zhenruo was silent for some time, after which requested, “Then why are you showing in entrance of me now?”
Yan Xiujie was slightly embarrassed, “Since you refused that driver. I known as Second Younger Grasp to say that you just might need seen me, and he then requested me to take the initiative to seek out you.”
Li Zhenruo checked out him, nonetheless puzzled, “Why you and never Hua Yibang?”
Yan Xiujie additionally appeared a bit bewildered, “I don’t know.”
Li Zhenruo considered a number of issues suddenly. He puzzled why Li Zhenran requested Yan Xiujie to come back over. Was Li Zhenran afraid it wasn’t simply because he was right here to analyze the reason for Li Zhenruo’s loss of life, so he intentionally requested his former assistant to come back over?
He at all times felt that Li Zhenran is likely to be doubting his identification. Since when did he doubt it? It was clear when he confessed to Li Zhenran that he was investigating the reason for Li Zhenruo’s loss of life, Li Zhenran additionally appeared indignant as if he had been deceived.
“Mr. Li?” Yan Xiujie known as him.
Li Zhenruo all of a sudden got here again to his senses and requested, “What did you simply name me?”
Yan Xiujie hesitated and mentioned, “Second Grasp mentioned your title is Li Tuanzi, and he additionally requested me to carry your ID card and cell phone right here.”
After Yan Xiujie mentioned that, he took the doc bag that was positioned on the passenger seat and took the ID card, cell phone inside to Li Zhenruo, after which a bank card. He mentioned, “Second Younger Grasp mentioned which you can withdraw money.”
Li Zhenruo took over the cell phone and ID card and at last took over the bank card. He was not within the temper to really feel embarrassed by the title Li Tuanzi, so he simply opened the passenger automobile door and sat in.
“Did he say anything?” Li Zhenruo requested.
Yan Xiujie mentioned, “He mentioned, he informed you to go residence after you’ve had sufficient enjoyable.”
Li Zhenruo rubbed his fingers on the emerged numbers on the floor of the bank card, and slowly touched it from left to proper. Lastly, he stopped and requested Yan Xiujie, “The place’s his girlfriend?”
Yan Xiujie smiled bitterly, “I don’t know. I don’t know in regards to the second younger grasp’s personal affairs. He simply requested me to come back over to deal with you and let you know a number of phrases by the best way.”
“Inform me a number of phrases?” Li Zhenruo glanced at him, “Not secretly watch over me? Does he know I might discover you?”
Yan Xiujie nonetheless smiled bitterly however didn’t reply this time.
Li Zhenruo shook the bank card between his fingers and mentioned, “Overlook it, don’t discuss that, simply drive, I wish to discover somebody.”
Yan Xiujie mentioned nothing extra and began the automobile.
Alongside the best way, aside from sometimes telling Yan Xiujie the place to go, Li Zhenruo stayed silent at different occasions. Yan Xiujie additionally didn’t converse and drove silently.
What Li Zhenruo considered essentially the most was about Li Zhenran.
Typically he felt he actually had a restricted mind capability. Each day he considered Li Zhenran greater than the reason for his personal loss of life, as if the main target of his life was slowly shifting, and getting revenge was not as necessary as Li Zhenran bringing a lady residence. He felt he couldn’t go on like this.
However what will be executed? Even when we didn’t see one another, may he actually be so merciless?
Li Zhenran requested Yan Xiujie to inform him a number of phrases, and that was Li Zhenran displaying weak point. On that day, he clearly mentioned he was giving Li Zhenruo the final likelihood to decide on, however he selected to surrender. With Li Zhenran’s character, he needs to be left alone, however he nonetheless known as Yan Xiujie to seek out him.
Possibly they shouldn’t have ended issues so vaguely.
At the moment, Yan Xiujie had already pushed the automobile on the street. Li Zhenruo got here again to his senses and gave him instructions to drive him all the best way to the two-story constructing in entrance of Aunt Wu’s home.
Li Zhenruo obtained off the automobile, whereas Yan Xiujie reversed the automobile into the yard and parked on the best aspect of the yard.
The door of the small constructing was nonetheless locked, and Li Zhenruo was unsure if there was anybody at residence, so he stepped ahead and knocked on the door.
Nobody responded, he stepped again and appeared upstairs. Abruptly he heard a mournful cat cry coming from inside.
Yan Xiujie simply locked the automobile door, and he couldn’t assist asking, “What’s occurring?”
At the moment, there was one other cat cry, sharp and mournful.
Though Li Zhenruo was nonetheless in human kind, he appeared to really feel that each one the fur on his physique stood up. He may hear the cat meowing in ache as if he may additionally really feel the ache.
He stepped ahead and knocked on the door laborious, “Open the door!”
The folks inside didn’t transfer.
Li Zhenruo obtained stirred up emotionally. He raised his foot and kicked the door a number of occasions, and shouted loudly, “Open the door!”
Then, he heard heavy footsteps as if somebody was strolling towards the door.
The door was opened from the within. Standing in entrance of the door was a tall and gloomy younger man. He checked out Li Zhenruo with a fierce look, “Who knocked on the door?”
Li Zhenruo stepped again half a step in order to not get too near him, and mentioned, “Might I ask if that is Wu Jiamei’s residence?”
The younger man requested, “What’s the matter?”
Li Zhenruo mentioned, “I’ve one thing to ask her. Can I ask her to come back out and speak?”
The younger man yelled, “She’s not right here!”
Li Zhenruo seen that when he was speaking, he saved his proper hand behind his again as if he was holding one thing, so Li Zhenruo couldn’t assist being slightly cautious and requested, “Who’re you to her?”
Earlier than the person may reply, one thing all of a sudden jumped down from the window of the room on the second ground. Yan Xiujie was startled as a result of he was near it, and shouted, “What the?!”
When Li Zhenruo appeared again, he noticed {that a} cat landed within the yard, a pastoral cat with black patches on its white fur, blood on one foot, and was screaming miserably to run outdoors.
The younger man pushed Li Zhenruo away and went after it.
Li Zhenruo moved quicker than him. Earlier than the person rushed over, he took one step to hold the cat, after which took two steps again.
At first, the cat wished to run, however sadly, it was not agile. When Li Zhenruo picked it up, it grew to become quiet and meowed softly.
Li Zhenruo appeared down on the damage on its leg, solely to seek out that it was not solely on the leg but additionally on the again with bloodstains. He couldn’t assist frowning and mentioned, “Are you loopy? What are you doing abusing a cat?”
At the moment, the person pulled out his proper hand behind his again. Solely then did Li Zhenruo see that he had a kitchen knife in his hand, and he mentioned, “Give me again Ah Juan!”
When he noticed this, Yan Xiujie hurriedly stepped ahead to drag Li Zhenruo and mentioned, “Watch out.”
Li Zhenruo noticed that man’s eyes have been confused and his face was slightly grim. He hugged the cat and rapidly stepped again and mentioned, “What Ah Juan?”
“Aaaaah—” the person shouted, however he didn’t say another phrases, and straight slashed at Li Zhenruo with a knife.
Li Zhenruo mentioned to Yan Xiujie, “Run!”
Two folks got here out of the yard and ran to either side of the street, one left and one proper.
The younger man clearly solely had the intention to chase the cat, so he ignored Yan Xiujie and ran after Li Zhenruo.
Li Zhenruo was merely baffled. He held the cat and ran all the best way. He didn’t perceive why he was scary a cat-abusing lunatic, however the kitten in her arms saved meowing, which made his coronary heart damage.
Sometimes he would encounter pedestrians on the street. Once they noticed the scenario, they hid within the fields on either side. Li Zhenruo additionally heard somebody say, “Liu’s youngest son goes loopy once more!”
Li Zhenruo noticed a small door opened within the entrance yard, and a woman was about to come back out of the door. When she noticed the scenario outdoors, she was so frightened that she was about to shut the door. Li Zhenruo additionally responded rapidly, rushed over and pushed the door open, compelled to squeeze in, and shouted, “Shut the door!”
The younger lady hurriedly slammed the door and stopped the individual outdoors on the final second. They then heard the sound of a kitchen knife slashing on the iron door.
Li Zhenruo and the lady leaned towards the door with their backs, pondering that individuals outdoors would break-in. Thankfully, the door had two giant iron doorways, and the lock was pretty robust.
The kitchen knife slashed however left a hint, so the person began banging his physique towards the door, shouting, “Give me again Ah Juan!”
The younger lady was so frightened that she nearly cried, and yelled at Li Zhenruo, “What did you do to him? Give him again his cat!”
Li Zhenruo mentioned, “No, he needs to harm the cat!”
The younger lady then mentioned, “He’s a lunatic. He thinks this cat is Ah Juan. Please return it to him.”
Li Zhenruo was wanting breath and requested, “Who’s ah Juan?”
The lady mentioned, “His sister, drowned whereas swimming.”
Li Zhenruo couldn’t assist however cursed, “f/ck! I can’t give it to him, he was bullying the cat!”
The younger lady mentioned, “What ought to we do now?”
Li Zhenruo mentioned, “Is nobody watching him at residence?”
The younger lady reacted directly, “Oh, Aunt Wu, inform Aunt Wu to come back again!” After that, she shouted at her small constructing, “Mother! Name Aunt Wu over right here, her son goes loopy!”
The folks upstairs responded.
They have been deadlocked in and out. The person outdoors saved banging on the door tirelessly. Li Zhenruo and the lady pressed towards the door collectively, feeling that his energy was steadily getting weaker, however the frequency of the bangs had not diminished.
The blood on the kitten’s physique was slowly dried, the fur was coagulated collectively, and it nonetheless appeared pitiful.
After greater than ten minutes, Li Zhenruo lastly heard a lady’s voice from outdoors and shouted eagerly, “Ah Qiang, what are you doing?”
The younger lady beside Li Zhenruo was clearly relieved, “Aunt Wu is again.”
The 2 listened to Auntie Wu’s footsteps approaching, till she got here to the door and pulled her son, telling him to cease making bother and go residence together with her.
Even so, the 2 of them waited for some time earlier than opening a slit within the small door and searching.
The kitchen knife within the man’s hand had been snatched by his mom, however when he noticed Li Zhenruo seem with the cat in his arms, he pointed at him considerably emotionally and mentioned, “He robbed Ah Juan and needs to take Ah Juan to wash within the river!”
Aunt Wu frowned and mentioned, “That’s not Ah Juan, Ah Juan is gone.”
The person appeared dazed and mentioned, “Ah Juan simply wished to sneak to the river, I gained’t let her go! Tie her up!”
Aunt Wu touched his again, “It’s not Ah Juan, there isn’t any Ah Juan anymore.”
At the moment, Yan Xiujie ran in the direction of this aspect, standing not removed from them, considerably warily on this course.
Aunt Wu mentioned sorry to Li Zhenruo and the others after which mentioned, “When he was a baby, he took his sister to swim by the river. However then one thing occurred to his sister, and his thoughts was not sober. Did he damage you guys?”
Li Zhenruo shook his head, “This cat was minimize by him.”
“Ah—” Aunt Wu didn’t know what to say.
Li Zhenruo touched the highest of the kitten’s head and mentioned to Aunt Wu, “Auntie Wu, I wish to ask you one thing.”
Aunt Wu checked out Li Zhenruo with a wierd expression.
Li Zhenruo mentioned, “It’s about Li Jianglin’s fourth son, Li Zhenruo.”
Aunt Wu’s face modified all of a sudden. She took her son’s hand and stammered, “I-I’ll take him again first.” After that, she pulled her son and turned to depart.
Her son was nonetheless trying on the cat, “Ah Juan, you may’t go to the river to take a shower.”
Li Zhenruo stepped ahead and mentioned, “Ship him again first. I’ll wait so that you can come out. There are some issues I wish to ask you..”
Aunt Wu averted his eyes and didn’t reply him, and he or she simply dragged her son ahead.
Li Zhenruo held the cat and took Yan Xiujie again to the skin of the small yard of the Wu household. Aunt Wu closed the door after she entered the home together with her son.
Li Zhenruo squatted down within the yard and put the kitten on the bottom.
The cat walked with a limp, and though it was put down, it nonetheless caught to Li Zhenruo and refused to depart. It stood at Li Zhenruo’s ft, raised its head and purring weakly at him.
Li Zhenruo gently smoothed it together with her fingers and mentioned, “We have to discover a vet to check out it.”
Yan Xiujie stood beside him, turned to take a look at the small constructing, and frowned barely, “Why is she not out but? Do you wish to knock on the door?”
Li Zhenruo mentioned, “Wait a minute.”
They waited for one more 4 or 5 minutes. The door was opened from the within. Aunt Wu stood on the door and peeked out. After seeing Li Zhenruo and the 2 of them, she mentioned, “Simply go, I don’t know something.”
Li Zhenruo stood up, took a deep breath, and mentioned as calmly as doable, “Aunt Wu, have you ever ever taken one thing in Li Zhenruo’s room and handed it to another person?”
Aunt Wu stared at him blankly, and he or she gripped the door body tightly with one hand, her voice trembling slightly, “Who’re you? What’s all this obtained to do with you?”
When he heard this dialog, Yan Xiujie was additionally barely surprised and checked out Li Zhenruo in shock.
Li Zhenruo mentioned, “You’ve gotten labored within the Li household for thus a few years. Though you haven’t stayed so long as Wang Ma, Li Zhenruo has at all times been well mannered to you and at all times calls you auntie each time he sees you. He by no means treats you badly in meals and lodging. Why do you wish to damage him? For cash?”
Aunt Wu obtained emotional and spoke with some tears, “I didn’t damage him! Nobody informed me what to do with these issues? I don’t know what they have been used for!”
Li Zhenruo felt slightly uncomfortable in his coronary heart, however he didn’t soften his momentum in any respect, and he requested sharply, “Who’s it? The individuals who killed Li Zhenruo like this. Inform me precisely who it’s, as compensation to your sins for what you may have executed, so Li Zhenruo can go in peace and don’t come again to you once more.”
Aunt Wu’s physique all of a sudden stiffened, and her eyes flickered. She had clearly suffered lots from this incident and at last mentioned tremblingly, “It’s Younger Grasp Zhu. He requested me to seek out one thing in Li Zhenruo’s room. H-He initially wished to see if he may discover some semen, hair, and many others. I didn’t anticipate that there was a tissue with blood on it, so I took it to him and requested him if this might do it. He mentioned sure, and gave me 2,000 yuan. I don’t learn about anything and I don’t know what it’s used for. After that Fourth Younger Grasp was kicked out, I puzzled if it had something to do with this matter, however I didn’t dare to ask. “
After she mentioned that, she couldn’t suppress her feelings and cried.
