Chapter 181 City B
Chapter 181 City B
The thick smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, and the scene on the battlefield became clearer. Zhuang Changwu was forced to deactivate his transformation, looking somewhat tired and frustrated.
In contrast, although Lin Yue was also forced back into Decade form by the powerful force, she did not completely disintegrate.
"Sigh, I lost again..." Zhuang Changwu lowered his head dejectedly, feeling secretly annoyed. Even though he had given it his all, he still lost by a slight margin.
The senior is still the senior; even if they held back, I still couldn't beat them.
At this moment, Lin Yue slowly deactivated her transformation and walked lightly towards Zhuang Changwu. When she reached him, Lin Yue reached out and gently helped Zhuang Changwu up from the ground, smiling and comforting him, "Don't be discouraged. You're already very good." Hearing these encouraging words, Zhuang Changwu nodded gratefully.
But just then, Lin Yue's lips suddenly curled into a subtle, mischievous smile. She blinked and said with a half-smile, "By the way, do you remember what you said before we started this sparring match?"
Zhuang Changwu was stunned upon hearing this. He quickly recalled the previous scene in his mind, and in an instant, a chill ran down his spine, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The next second, Lin Yue's figure appeared behind Zhuang Changwu like a ghost.
She yelled, "Go away!" and then kicked Zhuang Changwu hard in the butt.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Zhuang Changwu was sent flying straight off the stage, landing in a disheveled state.
"Hahahaha..." Lin Yue's unrestrained laughter came from behind. Zhuang Changwu sat on the ground, looking utterly hopeless.
Waaah, I'm a college student, and now I have no dignity as a man at all... But if it's a senior, then it's okay.
Just then, Lin Yue's phone rang, and she took it out.
The call came from a private investigator who seemed to have found out quite a bit. Soon, a bunch of data and information were sent to Lin Yue's phone.
It has to be said that this private investigator is very capable, after all, he was introduced by her brother. Lin Yue looked at the information on her phone, her face growing colder and colder.
A private investigator revealed that the Gu Group is located in City B. The sisters, Chi Xiaoyu and Chi Shuyao, had been living with the Gu family before moving to City Z.
However, the detective has yet to determine exactly why they left the Gu family and went to Z City to develop their careers. But one thing is certain: it was undoubtedly the Gu family who took them away.
She stepped off the stage and went straight to Zhuang Changwu, her tone sincere: "Senior Zhuang, are you busy these days? Could you do me a favor and take me to City B now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Changwu, who had just scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, looked troubled and hesitated before replying, "Nothing's wrong... but are you leaving now? It's getting late. How about we wait until tomorrow to set off? Besides, we can rest here at the training base tonight; there are plenty of dormitories here."
However, Lin Yue, who was extremely anxious, couldn't wait that long: "No! I'm really sorry, but could you please take me there now?" She was very worried about Chi Xiaoyu's condition, and now that she had found out the situation, she didn't want to waste a single second.
"Alright then, but senior, please call me junior in private from now on. I feel a little awkward when you call me senior now." Zhuang Changwu didn't say anything more when he saw that she insisted.
After quickly packing, the two set off for City B. Along the way, Zhuang Changwu focused on driving, occasionally stealing a glance at Lin Yue.
Lin Yue gripped her phone tightly, her eyes glued to the screen, watching the information about the Gu family sent by the private investigator.
The night outside the car window was dark, with only occasional flashes of lights.
...
In a remote suburban cemetery of City B, the only sounds were the occasional rustling of the wind and the gentle whisper of swaying branches. Chi Shuyao walked slowly across the land.
Chi Shuyao held a girl in her arms. The girl was as quiet as if she were asleep, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that there was not a trace of blood on her body.
Moreover, a pungent, rotting odor emanating from the girl's body filled the air, making one want to vomit. Clearly, the corpse had been dead for two or three days.
However, despite the horrifying scene and foul smell, Chi Shuyao seemed oblivious, quietly carrying the girl and continuing to walk forward, step by step.
Finally, Chi Shuyao stopped in front of a pre-dug pit. She looked down at the girl in her arms, a hint of indescribable sorrow flashing in her eyes.
After Chi Xiaoyu was brutally beaten to death, Gu Yonghui completely ignored the corpse and showed no intention of disposing of it.
And so, Chi Xiaoyu's body lay quietly in the dark and damp basement of the Gu family villa, emitting a nauseating stench day after day, slowly rotting and decaying.
She arrived at the Gu family villa. Unfortunately, neither of the two Gu brothers was home at the time.
She went into the basement, found Chi Xiaoyu's body, and carefully carried it out of this horrific place.
She had already dug a pit and gently placed Chi Xiaoyu's body inside. Looking at her sister's once beautiful and charming face, now as pale as paper, she could no longer suppress the overwhelming grief and self-blame in her heart, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
With trembling hands, she took out a handkerchief and slowly brought it close to Chi Xiaoyu's cheek, as if afraid of waking her sleeping sister.
She gently wiped the skin that had lost its warmth, each movement filled with endless love and regret: "I'm sorry... sister... it's all my fault... I failed to protect you..." Before she could finish speaking, more tears fell onto Chi Xiaoyu's cold face, mingling with the tear stains on the handkerchief.
She stood up and began to fill the grave with soil and place the tombstone... After Chi Shuyao placed the tombstone, she sat in front of the grave for a long time before finally starting to carve the words.
“What’s the point of all this? Don’t you have enemies? Hurry up and take revenge, stop doing these meaningless things…” Faiz, the oddball, rambled on.
"Shut up!" Chi Shuyao said coldly, her face as cold as ice.
Upon hearing this, the outcast Faiz couldn't help but sneer and retorted, "Is this how you treat your savior? Don't you know the principle of repaying kindness? Besides, I don't only have you to choose from!"
Chi Shuyao took a deep breath, suppressing her anger: "Yes, you did save my life. But since you've chosen to cooperate with me, you must respect my decision!" After saying that, she ignored her and continued to focus on carving the words on the tombstone.
Chi Shuyao's tools flew up and down, each cut meticulously executed. Yet, beneath her cold exterior, her heart was filled with pain and sorrow.
"How could you monsters possibly understand the feelings between us humans?" Chi Shuyao muttered to herself as she carved the words. "I don't want to waste my breath on you here!"
Seeing this, Faiz, the outcast, snorted coldly but said nothing more.
After a while, the outcast Faiz suddenly spoke up: "However, I find it strange. Now that I share memories with you, in the memories I see, you don't seem to be a woman who is so good at refuting others."
Chi Shuyao paused slightly, a look of melancholy on her face. She said slowly, "People always change... Ever since I became mentally impaired, I've been living in a daze for so many years. If I hadn't become mute or a fool, after experiencing so much, I wouldn't be as weak as before."
At this point, Chi Shuyao unconsciously tightened her grip on the tools in her hand.
(My back pain hadn't gotten better, so I went to the hospital for an MRI, and it turned out to be a herniated disc! And the doctor said it's incurable. I felt like the sky had fallen, sob sob sob, I'm only 21 years old!)
