After a night of deep sleep, Li Hongjun woke up feeling much lighter than usual.
My mood is neither good nor bad. It seems like there are some scenes in my memory that shouldn't be there, but then again, it seems like there aren't any. I feel a bit lost.
After hesitating for a while, I washed my face and went downstairs.
As soon as I came down the stairs, my heart skipped a beat, and then my face turned dark.
Looking at Li Mu's face, some scenes from yesterday began to appear in my mind.
"Second Uncle, did you sleep well last night?"
Seeing Li Hongjun's face turn dark instantly, Li Mu asked in a low voice.
Compared to yesterday's stress response, my second uncle seems much better today; at least he hasn't lost his mind.
"You little bastard, you've really messed up this time!..."
Li Hongjun felt fear whenever he thought of the images of those dead people; there were nearly a hundred of them.
Just as he was about to continue criticizing Li Mu, he changed his expression to one of tension and excitement, as he thought of the scene of the police arresting people.
If you get caught, you'll have to pay with your life for murder!
"Xiao Mu, you, you hurry up and pack your things, leave right now, go to Australia, quick, quick, quick! Don't let the police catch you."
As Li Hongjun spoke, he pulled Li Mu towards the door.
"Squeak--Crunch!"
Li Hongjun's mouth seemed to be blessed; as soon as the two arrived in the yard, a police car stopped outside.
"Go, go, Mumu, hurry up and go through the backyard, quick, hurry up!"
Li Mu was pulled back into the house by Li Hongjun and pushed towards the backyard.
.
As Li Hongjun pulled him around, Li Mu felt a strange emotion welling up inside him.
This feeling was very special; it was the first time he had experienced it in two lifetimes, and he felt that this must be fatherly love.
In my previous life, because I had the spiritual root for cultivation, I went to the sect when I was only seven or eight years old.
His parents were admired for this, but he never experienced the feeling of a father's love being as deep as a mountain.
In this life, my parents were in a car accident right after I was reborn, and I never got to experience it.
Unexpectedly, he experienced fatherly love through this cheap second uncle.
Thinking back to the day before, in just two short days, Li Hongjun kept telling him to leave and hide, afraid that he would be harmed, and now he was afraid that he would be arrested.
It truly embodies care and concern to the fullest extent, but I have been neglecting it all along.
"Alright! Second Uncle, I'll take care of you in your old age for the rest of my life. Anyone who tries to hurt you, I will kill them."
Li Mu made a vow in his heart: the vows of a cultivator are witnessed by heaven and earth; if he did not keep his promise, may he be struck by lightning.
.
Li Mu patted Li Hongjun's back and channeled some spiritual energy into him again, finally calming him down.
The two policemen were finally able to enter the house after the gate was opened remotely.
One of the policemen had just taken out a letter of assistance from his bag when Li Hongjun suddenly attacked him, punching and kicking him.
While hitting, he also shouted loudly:
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard! You dare to chase me all the way to my house? Come on! Didn't you want to kill me?"
"Yeah! And you too, you killed my older brother, don't you dare run away, I'll beat you to a pulp..."
Li Mu stood there dumbfounded, watching as one policeman was knocked to the ground and another was chased around the living room, a truly comical sight.
"Hey! Don't do it, stop!..."
"You, you better stop us right now! We're police officers, or we'll charge you with assaulting a police officer..."
Seeing the two policemen shouting at him while reaching for their lower backs, Li Mu's eyes narrowed.
He quickly pulled his second uncle, who was chasing the policeman, behind him, while keeping a close eye on their hand movements.
He was prepared to kill either of the two policemen if they dared to draw their guns.
Fortunately, the two men only pulled out two batons.
"I'm so sorry! My second uncle was beaten by more than a hundred people yesterday and he was traumatized. Please don't take offense."
Li Mu watched the two of them stop and began to explain.
It would have been better if they hadn't explained; as soon as they did, the two policemen's expressions changed twice in an instant.
At first, they thought Li Mu's words were outrageous, as if he were treating people like idiots.
Then, he remembered the purpose of his visit: to investigate the case of the mass disappearance of a hundred people.
.
"Are you Li Mu? He is..."
"Kill! Kill! Kill! I'm going to kill over a hundred of them, how dare they hit me..."
Just as the police, who were being chased, were about to conduct a routine questioning, Li Hongjun started causing trouble again.
"Second Uncle, please calm down. The police have questions for you."
"Smack!"
"Ouch!"
"You little bastard, always causing trouble, I'll beat you to death..."
Li Mu received a solid thud on the head, thinking to himself, "You little brat, I was just starting to think of you as my father, and you've already started beating your son."
When Li Hongjun said he would kill all the more than one hundred people who had attacked him, Li Mu knew that his second uncle was putting on an act.
The father and son unknowingly colluded to give a coherent testimony, and Li Mu felt that it was all worth it to give them each a flick on the forehead.
With the request and assistance of the two policemen, Li Mu finally subdued Li Hongjun and handcuffed him to the sofa armrest.
Li Hongjun, who had been subdued, kept muttering to himself, behaving exactly like a normal mentally unstable patient.
.
"I am Li Mu, and this is my second uncle, Li Hongjun. Do you two uncles need something?"
Before the police could ask any more questions, Li Mu took the initiative to reveal his and his second uncle's identities.
"Mr. Li Mu, this is the letter of request for assistance in the investigation. We would like to ask you to return to the bureau to assist in the investigation of a missing persons case."
The beaten-up policeman solemnly pulled out the letter of assistance again, his eyes bruised and swollen, making him look rather comical.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Xiao Mu, over a hundred more are coming! Run!!!"
Upon hearing that someone was going to be arrested, Li Hongjun started putting on an act again.
"Gentlemen, look at this... My second uncle has been causing trouble since he came back last night, and I was even planning to take him to the hospital."
Li Mu had no intention of running away, nor did he dislike going to the police station; in fact, he preferred not to go.
Given the methods he used yesterday, it's impossible for the police to find any evidence of him committing murder.
They're not afraid of any surveillance. Installing surveillance cameras in a triad council's meeting hall is just asking for trouble.
Moreover, Lu Dazhou let me in because he wanted to deal with me.
After discussing and consulting with their superiors, the two police officers replied, "The case is serious, and we must return to the station to assist in the investigation."
.
In the police car, Li Hongjun, sitting in the back seat, was still humming and muttering, but his eyes kept blinking at Li Mu.
Li Mu roughly understood what Li Hongjun meant: he wanted him to say nothing and admit nothing.
Half an hour later, the father and son were questioned separately at the police station.
The only point of suspicion the police could have was how Li Mu and Li Hongjun left.
Therefore, the two were listed as suspects and put in jail.
Over two days, the police questioned him four or five times about the only suspicious point.
Li Mu's answer was, "The two of them walked out on their own," and he refused to answer any other questions.
This is the only answer, because Li Hongjun has gone mad.
.
During his two days in the cell, Li Mu meditated and cultivated while using his divine sense to refine the restrictions on the golden bead.
Unexpectedly, while the refinement of the restriction was negligible, his divine sense had increased considerably, which was truly an unexpected gain.
The growth and strengthening of spiritual consciousness generally occurs along with the improvement of cultivation level.
Of course, there are also cultivation methods specifically for spiritual awareness, but they are extremely rare.
In my previous life, throughout the entire cultivation continent, apart from those recorded in historical texts, I had never heard of anyone cultivating divine sense techniques.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already the morning of the third day.
Li Mu wanted to leave; this cell couldn't hold him back at all, and he could leave quietly at any time.
His reason for not leaving was simple: he was waiting for someone—for those who coveted the Li family's assets to come and rescue him.
