Chapter 556: I Discovered A Fish-Man
After chatting with Ai Mi for a while, I felt a bit sleepy because I didn’t get a good sleep last night, then I actually fell asleep without realizing it.
I fell asleep on Ai Mi’s single bed.
Well, although I called it a single bed, a rich person’s bed for a single person was far larger than the standard double bed for a normal person. (I heard that the daughter of the richest man in the world has a bed with an area of 50,000 square kilometers) I ungracefully fell asleep on my sister’s bed.
Initially, I only wanted to rest for a while, because it wasn’t comfortable when Ai Mi held down my left hand.
But somehow, I fell asleep.
The most embarra.s.sing part was that I actually felt very “comfortable” when I fell asleep in my sister’s bed.
Perhaps it was because Peng TouSi was guarding outside, so I didn’t think the police would be able to get in easily.
I slept all afternoon.
When I opened my eyes again, the room was dark because the curtains were drawn.
I felt something light and soft climb onto my bed and sit on top of my waist as I was still in a haze.
The other person seemed to be trembling with excitement with a sly smile on her face.
Her lower body was on my waist as her upper body slowly pressed towards me…
I was startled and jolted awake.
Isn’t this Ai Mi, what’s she trying to do? What are you trying to do to your brother while he’s asleep and unguarded?
I’m more scared of your smile than your tight sports outfit. It’s the twisted smile of a person who wants to get revenge on the world. It’s even more twisted and bizarre when it’s on your perfect and delicate pretty face.
A black object came towards my face, after which I realized that it was a light down pillow.
“Die, I’m going to smother you to death.” Ai Mi shouted as she pushed the pillow on my face, “My stomach hurts so much, how dare you sleep so comfortably.”
“The whole world should hurt along with me.”
So it was because I was sleeping too comfortably, but you couldn’t sleep because of menstrual cramps, so you took it out on me.
Where did you even learn that killing technique? Is it not enough for your brother to be murderer, but you also want to become a female murderer to catch up with me?
Also, what’s up with wanting everyone to suffer with you? Just like how women never understand testicular pain, men will also never understand menstrual cramps.
“Stop it.” I effortlessly grabbed the pillow from Ai Mi’s hand, “I didn’t sleep well last night…”
“So you have to take my bed? I’m the one who has a stomachache.”
“I think there’s a bedroom next door where Winnie sleeps every time she comes here, so I can go sleep there instead.”
To be honest, it didn’t feel good being awoken. I was really sleepy and just wanted to go back to sleep.
Ai Mi was still sitting on my belly, but she wasn’t holding her murder weapon anymore. She crossed her arms in front of her developing chest.
“Forget it, you look like your in pain. I’ll be the bigger person and sleep in Winnie’s room.”
I nodded, rolled over and went back to sleep.
I don’t know how much time pa.s.sed, but when I woke up again, I felt someone next to me.
I heard the sound of soft and delicate breaths next to my ear. There was also a mixture of lemon and mint, a slightly sour and sweet smell in the air.
I opened my eyes and saw Ai Mi curled up next to me like a cat, it was super cute.
My head was already clear, so I sat up gently and stroked Ai Mi’s golden hair.
“Your brother may have to leave you for a while…”
“You have to be strong in this world where there’s danger around every corner.”
“But I feel slightly at ease with the loyal Peng TouSi by your side…”
I felt conflicted right now. As Ai Mi said, as long as I lowered myself to Ai ShuQiao, I definitely wouldn’t have to go to prison, I can also watch my sister’s growth like a normal brother.
But just like how the cla.s.s leader said last night that she believes that if she plays favorites, she will lose her conviction as a police officer and can no longer pursue other criminals.
The same is true for me. If I accept Ai ShuQiao’s help, I will have violated my vow of “never bow down” and may fall into Ai ShuQiao’s trap and becoming one of her p.a.w.ns.
So, even if I have to spend a few years behind bars, I will never ask for help from Ai ShuQiao. If the police wants to arrest me, then come and try.
I covered Ai Mi’s lower body with a quilt and left quietly without disturbing her sleep.
“Take care of my sister for me.” I deliberately told Peng TouSi, who looked at me strangely, not understanding the deeper meaning of my words.
At night, I was lying on my bed at home looking at the ceiling, but the police still did not come to arrest me.
July 31, the police still did not come.
August 1, they still did not come.
What the h.e.l.l is going on? I think I’m going crazy from all the waiting.
I called Xing Xing, since he was well-informed, to ask if there was any news lately.
“Brother Ye, you finally remembered us. Where have you been killing people recently and why don’t you call us…”
Stop talking about killing people, because I’ve actually killed someone.
“Huh, you want to know about recent news in our circle, well… the boss of Dong Shan High had his dog stolen, does that count?”
“What kind of news is that!” I snarled, “To be considered news, it has to be at least a loss of a limb or a life.”
“Ah, you’re worthy of being the big brother since you have serious tastes…” Xing Xing fretted for a while and said, “It’s not that I’m not trying, but there’s really no news recently. We can keep talking about the boss of Dong Shan High, his dog…”
Screw his dog! I killed Tie Xian, how could that not be considered news! I think it should be a big news among hooligans in the city.
I was filled with suspicion, so I decided to personally go out and conduct an in-depth investigation into whether Tie Xian was dead or alive.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I wasn’t scared of anything since I was already prepared to go to prison. So I specifically selected the freight terminal of Da Ning River (The area under control by Huang San’s father, Boss Huang), as the location to gather intelligence.
Of course, I was wearing a windbreaker along with sungla.s.ses.
But I had bad luck, I b.u.mped right into Boss Huang without being able to walk anywhere. My sungla.s.ses was also knocked crooked, so there was no reason he did not recognize me.
However, the always arrogant, self-proclaimed “Master Huang Wu”, looked a bit depressed today. When I looked closely, I could see injuries on his forehead.
Huh, I don’t remember anyone giving boss Huang a beating, but I did beat up his son pretty bad…
Boss Huang recognized me and his legs instantly locked in place. I was also quite nervous, as I had to run as soon as he shouted, but I didn’t know how fast I can run with an injured leg.
Unexpectedly, Boss Huang grinned bitterly. He stuck his left hand in his pocket as if it was injured and then greeted me with a trembling right hand.
“Um, I know you’re a great person, so please don’t take my prior actions to heart. I will never ask for trouble again…”
He was practically speaking in a begging tone of voice.
What was happening, why would the insufferably arrogant Boss Huang, who thinks he can even handle murders, admit defeat?
Seeing that he was afraid, and wanted to send me away as fast as possible, there must have been something going on behind the scenes.
I was at best a middle school student who was a relatively capable fighter, so he had no reason to fear me at all.
Unless, they were afraid of the people supporting me.
Who is it, who was the one who intervened. Was is it Ai ShuQiao or Huo ZhenBang?
“Boss Huang.” I softened my tone and asked, “You’re hurt. When and how did you get injured?”
I deliberately observed Boss Huang’s ears, because I always felt that Huo Zhenbang’s men had the habit of cutting off people’s ears.
His ears were still both there, but the bruise near his temple was hard to hide.
“Um, young master Ye…” Boss Huang suddenly changed his way of addressing me, indicating he had already found out about how “Lin Ye” was an alias, but I don’t know why he called me “Young master”.
“I… I admit it. This small dock of mine isn’t a match for young master Ye. Please be magnanimous and spare our family, I have a 500 year old mother…”
Boss Huang begged with a slight sob, his anxious state of mind also caused him to have a slip of the tongue.
Hey, what are you saying, why are you making me look like the bad guy who’s kicking people around.
“Boss Huang, speak slowly, don’t be afraid.” I turned serious, “Are you being threatened?”
Boss Huang had a bitter expression like he couldn’t say. He was pretending I was the one who was confused, he was the one who sent someone to threaten me, but now he pretended not to know anything.
“Um, young Master Ye, my son has offended you for some reason, but he’s currently lying in the hospital’s intensive care unit. He will sincerely repent, so I hope you can leave him a way out.”
“I didn’t say I was going to kill him.” Boss Huang bent over backwards and listening to him made me frown, I asked: “Tell me the truth, how’s Tie Xian.”
Boss Huang’s face turned from green to white then from white to green and said in a trembling voice.
“I… I don’t know anyone called Tie Xian, I have no relationship with him. Young master Ye must be mistaken…”
“I’m not mistaken.” The current atmosphere sent chills down my spine, “Is Tie Xian dead or alive, where is he?”
“No, nowhere.” Boss Huang insisted, “I’ve never heard of anyone with that name. Where he is also has nothing to do with me or young master Ye. Please just forget about it.”
How can I forget, the moment I used Fa Jin from Yin Yang Sanshou, I clearly heard the sound Tie Xian’s ribs cracking. Although I was unconscious, I was sure I splintered his ribs and caused them to pierce his lungs. Including the dislocation of the jaw, those are all quite serious injuries.
I’ve been living with the burden of the possibility of being a murderer since then.
Where is Tie Xian? I still want to see him whether dead or alive.
I grabbed on to Boss Huang’s shirt and asked him tell me where Tie Xian was. I spotted a familiar figure in the corner of my eye, so I turned around.
Wasn’t he one of Tie Xian’s four men, the big man named Xia Qiu.
“Stop.” I pointed at him and asked, “Where did Tie Xian go, did you save him or not?”
Xia Qiu shrank back, but it was too late to cover his face. He thought about how to escape, then in a quick wit he suddenly jumped into the river.
I couldn’t swim, so I couldn’t chase him. I could only helplessly watch the river.
“Hey.” I pulled Boss Huang and questioned, “Tie Xian’s men showed up in your dock, so you can’t get out of it anymore. Where’s Tie Xian and why are you so afraid of me?”
“Where did you see Tie Xian’s men?” Boss Huang acted like he was confused again. He followed the direction of my finger and looked at Xia Qiu who was currently fighting the waves.
“Young master Ye, you’re mistaken, that’s not one of Tie Xian’s men.”
“What is it if it’s not one of Tie Xian’s men.” I said angrily, “I remember clearly the burn he had on the left side of his face.”
Boss Huang was silent for a minute, then expressionlessly said, “Actually, what you just saw, young master Ye, is the Da Ning River water monster, that is, the fish man…” (Reverse of merman, fish on top)
In order to deny it, you even made up a man-fish. How shameless can you get?
At this time, seeing me grab their boss, the dock workers surrounded us. But evidently Boss Huang already explained the situation to them in advance, so they only came to persuade me, none of them dared to disrespect me.
“Young master Ye, please let Boss Huang go, we still have to rely on him to make a living.”
“Good.” I said, “Since you should all know how to swim, go catch the guy who just dived in and I will let your boss go.”
The workers all looked at me and they all had a sour expression on their face.
“Young master Ye, that won’t work because the one who just jumped in… he…”
“What about him?”
“He’s really a water monster. He’s the famous fish man of the Daning River, if we go after, we will all get eaten.”
The other workers also chimed in: “That’s right, it’s a fish man, a fish man.”
c.r.a.p, you guys really react fast. It looks like all of you have a future working for this boss.
If I think about it, the only ones who can make Boss Huang this scared would be Ai ShuQiao, but I didn’t have any evidence.
However, this would have been an opportunity to blackmail me, so why did Ai ShuQiao help me solve the matter silently. Also, is Tie Xian dead or alive, it’s not like he just suddenly disappeared.
