Chapter 7: You Can’t Call the Police at This Critical Moment
Liu Hongyang: “…”
He was sleeping very soundly and didn't wake up even after Cao Jing pushed him several times.
"Liu Hongyang!!!" Cao Jing was anxious, pushing and kicking him fiercely, "Wake up quickly, our things... all our things are gone!"
Liu Hongyang was woken up by Cao Jing's wailing. When he opened his eyes, he met her terrified face.
"What's going on so early in the morning..." Liu Hongyang cursed impatiently, "You're crazy."
Out of habit, he subconsciously reached for the bedside table, but only felt cold air.
Where is the bedside table?
Even now, he was still lying on the ground, and he didn't know when the bed he used to sleep on was moved away without anyone noticing.
"This...this..." Liu Hongyang's sleepiness evaporated instantly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he could only utter broken syllables.
The room was empty, just a shell. All the furniture had disappeared, along with all the valuables they had packed up last night. It was cleaner than a place swarmed with locusts.
"Ah! Ghost... Ghost!" Cao Jing suddenly let out an even more shrill scream, pointing her fingers at the door with trembling hands.
She was still immersed in the thought of "how did my room become like this?" When she looked up, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Liu Qingqing standing at the door. She was so scared that she almost couldn't breathe.
Liu Qingqing's face was so swollen like a pig's head that even her mother couldn't recognize her.
"Damn it... why are you so jumpy?" Liu Hongyang was startled and angrily scolded, "Where did you come from in broad daylight..."
However, when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly noticed the person at the door, his voice suddenly cut off in his throat, and his pupils jumped suddenly.
Liu Qingqing was standing at the door, her swollen and deformed face covered in bruises and purples, with dried blood hanging from the corners of her mouth. She looked like a rotten tomato, and her hair was as messy as straw.
The barely recognizable eyes were filled with tears and were looking at them in horror.
"Dad... Mom... It's me, wuwuwu..." Liu Qingqing had a sad face, and her swollen face looked even more distorted and terrifying.
Even though he recognized Liu Qingqing's voice, the shocking visual effect still made Liu Hongyang frown.
As for Cao Jing, she took two steps back and bumped into the empty wall. Only then did she calm down a little: "Qing... Qingqing? Your face... why is it like this?"
"Dad, Mom, my jewelry! My clothes! They're all gone!" Liu Qingqing rushed towards Cao Jing, crying hysterically, "They're all gone!"
Her swollen face made her speech slurred: "And my face... wuwuwu, I think I lost a tooth..."
"What? You also...hiss..." Liu Hongyang turned his head abruptly when he heard that. Before he could finish his words, he covered his neck with a look of pain.
Liu Hongyang tilted his neck and his face turned ashen.
He had long been accustomed to a soft big bed, and after sleeping on the floor for a night, he unsurprisingly got a stiff neck. Now his neck is as stiff as a puppet.
But the pain in his neck was not as great as the heartache he felt after discovering that his house had been robbed.
Liu Qingqing didn't notice his abnormality, and she pulled Cao Jing and started crying: "Mom, my face... Look at how bad my face has been beaten. You must help me catch it..."
"Qingqing, it's already this late, you should understand things a little bit." Cao Jing interrupted her before she could finish.
Although she usually loves Liu Qingqing, in this situation, having her house robbed is a big deal!
"No, the things in your room are gone, so the living room must be..." Liu Hongyang covered his neck, suddenly thought of something, and ran towards the living room.
When Liu Hongyang saw the living room which had also been ransacked, he felt his eyes go dark, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to his knees.
The entire Shen Mansion seemed to be under a spell. All valuable or worthless things disappeared completely, without even a vegetable leaf left.
"Oh my God, who the hell did this?" Cao Jing, who ran out right after him, fell to the ground, crying and wailing, cursing.
Hearing the noise outside getting louder and louder, Shen Zhaoyue pretended to have just been woken up and walked out of the room at the right time.
Chen Zhaoyue's eyes curved as he glanced at the three people in the living room, each with a different expression but all unsurprisingly filled with pain.
"No, it's bad, my...my room has been robbed!" Chen Zhaoyue shouted as he ran, with just the right amount of fear on his face.
She was only wearing a simple cotton pajamas, but her plain little face looked particularly beautiful in the morning light.
In an instant, Liu Qingqing's gaze fixed on Shen Zhaoyue's face - why were all of them in such a mess, but only this bitch was still so beautiful?
The next second, she suddenly rushed over like an enraged lioness: "Did you do this? Did you ruin my face?"
Chen Zhaoyue took a half step back in horror. Liu Qingqing was holding up this swollen face, and the impact was too great.
It's an eyesore!
"Chen Zhaoyue, give me back my face!" Liu Qingqing grabbed Chen Zhaoyue's face with her fangs and claws.
Since her face has become like this, Shen Zhaoyue will not have an easy time either!
"Help! There's not only a thief in the house, but also a ghost!" Chen Zhaoyue shouted while hiding.
As she ran away, the empty bedroom that had just been blocked was naturally revealed.
"Enough! Stop it, both of you!" Liu Hongyang shouted, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, so painful that his vision went black.
The three people in the family were frightened by his shout. Although Liu Qingqing's face was full of anger, she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.
Chen Zhaoyue acted out a scene where he discovered that his house had also been robbed, but no one paid any attention.
Liu Hongyang had a gloomy face and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment. Cao Jing and Liu Qingqing naturally didn't dare to go up and make him unhappy.
But there are always exceptions. Chen Zhaoyue looked timid, but walked forward.
"The house was cleaned out so cleanly overnight. Not everyone can do that. Could it be... Dad's enemies who did it?"
"..." Liu Hongyang was stunned when he heard this, and tilted his neck and fell into deep thought.
In order to take over the Shen family's business over the years, he had indeed offended many people...
But who did it so ruthlessly?
He went through all the possible enemies in his mind and found that they were all suspects.
"Hongyang, why don't we call the police?" Seeing that his anger had eased, Cao Jing hurried forward with a sad face and suggested.
She didn't care who did it, she just wanted to get back the stolen things as soon as possible.
That's their Liu family's thing, she didn't even give it to Chen Zhaoyue, so why should she give it to the thief for free?
"Why call the police!" Liu Hongyang shouted sternly without even hesitating.
I was so excited that I moved so much that my neck, which had a stiff neck, was affected, and I gasped in pain.
In today's world, even if you report the missing things from their home to the police, they will never be returned to them!
It is even possible that because of this incident, not only will they be unable to leave, but the money they transferred will also be taken away.
Thinking of this, Liu Hongyang quickly touched his pocket.
He was slightly relieved to find that the boat ticket was still there. Fortunately, he kept it close to him when he slept, so it wouldn't be stolen.
"Anyway, most of the valuables are already on the boat, so just consider it... just consider it as a way to ward off disaster." Liu Hongyang lowered his voice and signaled Cao Jing not to mention calling the police again.
Although Cao Jing felt sad about the lost things, she was just a woman without a strong opinion after all, so she could only grit her teeth and nod.
"I'll go next door and borrow two sets of clothes first." Liu Hongyang thought it over and walked out with his neck tilted and an awkward posture, like a duck with a broken neck.
