It could also be that there's no need for formalities between an old married couple...
"A thief?" In a good mood, Li Changzhou decided to let the man go.
Actually, I'm not really interested, and I don't want any player battles to happen in this area.
Putting aside the fact that it's a rented house, Yang Qinglan would probably be unhappy if it were damaged.
Hmm—come to think of it, I've never seen Yang Qinglan unhappy before. Maybe it would be nice to see her like that?
"..." The girl remained silent, seemingly hesitating about something.
"As for money—" Li Changzhou pretended to rummage in his pocket twice and took out Yang Qinglan's five hundred yuan from the Honey Pot World.
He put the money on the table and said, "I won't tell anyone you were here, and I won't call the police."
The girl glanced at the money, then at Li Changzhou, and then at the two beautiful girls who formed the lily.
The money flew into her hands.
"What is this?" Li Changzhou asked in surprise.
"Wow!" Li Qianxia played along with her brother's act.
"It's not as good as the acting of a kid who says he didn't eat spicy snacks even though he still has chili oil on his lips," Yang Qinglan thought to herself, while wondering what kind of skill this was. Or was it instinct?
The girl grabbed the money, jumped onto the roof, and cautiously peered around, seemingly looking for a chance to escape.
He doesn't seem like someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people; no, perhaps he just doesn't want to leave any clues for the Special Operations Bureau.
The girl's small body crouched there like a cat.
"There are people here until 10 p.m.," Li Qianxia kindly reminded her.
She paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you need any help?"
The girl glanced back at her, then continued staring outside, looking for an opportunity to leave.
“You can tell me your story. If I think you’re a good person, I can help you. Um, I’ll get my brother to help you too.”
After about a minute of silence, the girl finally spoke.
"...How can I help?" Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.
"It's probably not possible to do it domestically. No matter the reason, it's not a justification to kill someone. I can have my brother send you abroad and have someone take care of you."
"...Are you players too? Giving me money is just a joke?" The girl's gaze turned fierce.
“I just don’t want to cause trouble, but you don’t seem like a particularly bad person,” Li Changzhou said, then changed the subject, “What do you think of my sister’s suggestion?”
The girl stared at them, lost in thought. After a long while, she finally said, "I've been tricked."
"Hmm." Li Changzhou poured himself a glass of water.
“My family was poor, so I went to work in the city with the girls I grew up with. She stole the money I had worked so hard to save. That night, her boyfriend came to find her, and the two of them… raped me together, filmed it, and threatened me to give them all my wages.”
"Ah!" Li Qianxia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Li Changzhou paused in his drinking.
“Later,” the girl continued, “I was chosen by the value game, and I gained power—”
"So you killed them both?" Li Qianxia asked hurriedly.
The girl didn't say a word, she just nodded.
"They got off too easily." Li Changzhou put down his cup. "How about going to Italy? Or is there anywhere you want to go, to start a new life?"
"...I don't know where I can go."
"Then let's go to Italy. I know people there, so I won't have to worry about food, clothing, or accommodation. But if we want to live a better life, we'll have to work hard. What do you think?"
The girl fell silent again.
She shared her experience simply because she felt wronged and wanted to vent her frustrations; this does not mean she believed in Li Changzhou and his group.
Li Qianxia jumped directly onto the roof.
Before the girl could react, he sat down next to her and hugged her without any sign of disgust.
"It's alright!"
The girl was startled and instinctively wanted to fight back, but when she saw Li Qianxia's genuinely sad gaze, her tense body unconsciously relaxed.
"My name is Li Qianxia, what's yours?"
"..."
Li Qianxia pursed her lips, feeling even more pity for the girl's plight.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you."
In the courtyard, Yang Qinglan handed her phone to Li Changzhou. Li Changzhou glanced at it and saw that it was a chat history with Zheng Qing, containing intelligence from the Special Operations Bureau about the girl.
Her name was Liu Qian, and the motive for the murder was indeed as she herself stated.
"I can help her out while I'm at it... What are you doing?" Yang Qinglan asked.
"It's nothing." Li Changzhou was just checking Yang Qinglan's WeChat chat history; it was nothing serious.
He returned the phone to her.
Yang Qinglan turned off her phone screen, then turned it back on and waved it in front of Li Changzhou's face.
It's a group photo of the three of them, taken by Li Qianxia herself, so the two people walking behind look like a couple.
Li Changzhou poured water for Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan glanced at the water droplets falling into the cup for a second, then looked up at Li Qianxia and Liu Qian whispering on the roof.
"Ordinary people will be bullied, players who seek revenge will be wanted, and if your identity is exposed, you will be trapped in endless danger..."
She turned to look at Li Changzhou: "We still need to go by ship."
