Chapter 6 Imbalance

He stood there in a daze all night. Luo Pingcheng issued three orders in a row, and finally, unable to bear it anymore, he slapped him.

"Are you deaf or disabled? Can't you hear me? I'm telling you to go and crush that annoying bug to death right now! Go!"

He didn't rush down to deal with Shi Mingguang overnight. Instead, there was a look of resistance in his eyes, and he dared to look directly at him with the face that was red from being slapped by him.

"Oh, I think you're tired of living? Or have I not taught you enough lessons recently?"

Luo Pingcheng cared about his second brother's opinion. He was afraid that his second brother would think he was useless and couldn't even discipline a servant, no, he couldn't even discipline the dog he raised.

His father died, and his eldest brother was away from home every day and didn't care about him. What should he do if even his second brother ignored him and looked down on him?

Luo Pingfeng just sneered, shaking his wine glass slowly, with a playful expression that said, "Put on a good show, don't let me down."

Luo Pingcheng grew up in the Luo family. Before he was six years old, he started to act like a spoiled child and acted like a spoiled brat to the old man, insisting on having this "toy" all to himself.

Those who mocked Lian Ye as "the dog raised by the Luo family", from children to adults, none of them escaped the "punishment" of Luo Pingcheng.

The old man just smiled, and Luo Pingfeng didn't bother to care. However, the feelings of this unimproving younger brother towards Lian Ye became more and more dangerous.

Luo Pingfeng hates everything that is out of control, the rules of the game that cannot be made by himself, the projects that cannot be executed as he wishes, the life that cannot be done as he wants, and the people's hearts and emotions that cannot be controlled.

As Luoping City faced the crisis overnight, the danger of being on the verge of collapse became increasingly severe.

"Asshole! Do you really want to die? Why didn't you answer? I told you to go downstairs! Go down!"

Luo Pingcheng slapped Lian Ye dozens of times in a row, and blood flowed from the corner of Lian Ye's mouth, but he still kept his lips tightly pursed.

"Speak! Answer! Are you mute?"

Luo Pingcheng was only busy stealing glances at his second brother's expression, but his mind was in a mess and he didn't notice that he had been forced to the stairs by him overnight.

He took a step back, lost his balance, and rolled down the stairs.

His body leaned back, and the moment he realized he was about to fall, Lian Ye reacted quickly. With his skills, he had no problem saving himself.

Let him fall. It is better to let him die than to let him be the tip of the Luo family's knife to stab Shi Mingguang.

He fell down the stairs at night, and the Luo family's house was in chaos again. The lawyers in the yard also ran in to watch.

"Go, go quickly!" A man wearing a motorcycle helmet seized the opportunity, rushed into the Luo family compound, and grabbed Shi Mingguang.

"I can't just go back like this. What will happen to the people killed by the Luo family?"

Shi Mingguang was trembling all over and had no strength to break free from the man's hand, so he was dragged out by him.

"It's me. I know about tonight's accident and have asked my colleagues to re-investigate it. No one will be wrongfully killed like this. You are the one in danger now. Come with me!"

In order to persuade Shi Mingguang, the man took off his helmet, allowing Shi Mingguang to see his face clearly and hear his words clearly, and then put the helmet on Shi Mingguang's head backwards.

"Song Kang, can we really get to the bottom of this? How many of the things related to the Luo family can be revealed? Aren't there more crimes that have been covered up?"

Song Kang is a very reliable friend and partner, as well as a police officer with the same aspirations and integrity. They have been good friends since high school. Although they have different professions, what they do and what they want to do are the same.

They wanted to find light from the darkness, but they gradually discovered that when the darkness was too deep, they were simply powerless to fight back.

The Luo family has absolute power, and the balance between darkness and light has long been out of balance.

"By the way, you suspected Luo Pingcheng had a professional assassin under his command who always executed his tasks with absolute efficiency. I've done some research, and I've found out there's indeed such a person, but his identity is mysterious. All we know is that he's an orphan raised by the Luo family. This is the only photo I took, and I had my colleagues in the technical department restore it. That's all I can tell, it's a man, right?"

Song Kang sent Shi Mingguang downstairs and insisted on sending him home. He supervised him to take a shower and change his clothes. He then handed him a cup of steaming hot coffee before taking out a photo from his pocket.

The man in the photo was in a hurry, eager to hide in a dark alley, and was captured by a car's dashcam.

Shi Mingguang put down his coffee cup and picked up the photo, as if he wanted to see through the person, even though it was clearly blurry.

"Was this photo taken three days ago near Daqi Street in the East Market? Around 12:00 AM?"

Song Kang was so nervous that he even spilled some of his coffee. He hastily put down the cup and grabbed Shi Mingguang's hand holding the photo. "What happened? Were you there? Could it be that you had contact with this person? That guy is terrifying. He's the murderer of the Luo family!"

The one working for Luoping City is not a loyal dog, nor a tamed hunting dog, but a wolf, an evil ghost that is accustomed to the smell of blood and kills without blinking an eye.

If Shi Mingguang had met this man, he might have been targeted and would have become his prey in a moment.

Song Kang was worried about Shi Mingguang. Ever since Shi Mingguang graduated and opened Chongguang Law Firm, he had been worried every day.

Shi Mingguang said that Song Kang was also a righteous man and his best partner, and Song Kang felt guilty.

Justice and truth are, of course, what he pursues, but things outside of his job responsibilities, such as collecting intelligence about the Luo family and seeking answers for those who have been persecuted by the Luo family, are not done spontaneously by Song Kang, but for Shi Mingguang.

Shi Mingguang stepped deeper and deeper. Tonight, Shi Mingguang rushed straight to the Luo family. Song Kang was scared to death. He didn't expect that Shi Mingguang might have seen the killer of the Luo family.

When Song Kang thought of the crisis and danger Shi Mingguang would face, he trembled with fear. He grabbed Shi Mingguang's hand and conveyed his feelings to him.

"Officer Song, you're not shaking, are you? Even if you run into that killer from the Luo family, I believe you can beat him. And I'm not sure if the man I saw at the time was the Luo family killer you mentioned."

Shi Mingguang stared at the photo in a trance. What he saw was not the blurry figure in the photo, but the timid man who retreated in the alley that night.

No, that man doesn't look like a cold-blooded killer, nor does he look like the murderous evil spirit that Song Kang described.

The man was like a frightened puppy, longing for attention and pity, but afraid of others' care and approach.

"Alright, you can stare at this picture till dawn and still not see anything. Go to bed."

Song Kang took the photo and urged Shi Mingguang to go to rest. He stood at the door, crossed his arms and stared at him: "I'll stand here at the door and watch you fall asleep, then I'll go back."

"It's past two in the morning. If you don't mind, you can stay on the sofa for the night. I have extra pillows and quilts at home."

As Shi Mingguang was speaking, he was about to get up and rummage through the drawers to get a pillow and quilt. Song Kang got nervous and ran into his room, pushed him back onto the bed, and wrapped him tightly with the quilt.

"Don't move, go to sleep quickly. I, I have some things to follow up at the bureau, so I don't have time to sleep."

Song Kang didn't dare to sleep at Shi Mingguang's house. It was better for him to lie down at the desk in the bureau for a while than tossing and turning on the sofa in Shi Mingguang's house all night.

He was reluctant to distance himself from Shi Mingguang, fearing that Shi Mingguang would leave his sight, and he wanted to stay with Shi Mingguang every minute and every second.

He was also afraid that he was too greedy and wanted to touch more, which would hurt Shi Mingguang and destroy the trust and friendship that had been built between them over the years.

This entanglement repeatedly tugged at Song Kang's heart, causing him to often lose himself when facing Shi Mingguang, and be in an unbalanced state that could fall at any time.
