Chapter 100: Borrowing Life to Steal
The police car drove through the complex winding roads of the residential complex, passed through the main gate, and then drove down the mountain road for a while before entering the urban area of Nanyao City. The Qingyuan District Police Station was not far away, and soon the car pulled into the station yard. The young police officer driving the car reminded Lin Zhuyue and Mr. Du to get out.
The red BMW X5 that Shi Can gave to Lin Zhuyue as a birthday gift was parked in the yard. The police had extracted the information from the car and would submit it to the department responsible for handling the kidnapping case. Lin Zhuyue could drive the car away.
Lin Zhuyue got out of the car and walked with Mr. Du to her own car. She opened the door for the old man and, unable to suppress her curiosity, asked:
"Uncle Du, what did Mr. Yan do when he was young?"
Mr. Du looked around and confirmed that the police were not paying attention to this side. Then he said in a very low voice:
"A bucket scoop."
Lin Zhuyue opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Grave robbers...
metaphysics……
To be honest, she had hardly encountered anything related to metaphysics since she took on this mission. But she was indeed doing a metaphysical mission, so where exactly was the metaphysics involved?
She didn't know whether Mr. Yan was really related to this mission, but she didn't want to miss any clues related to metaphysics that she came across during the mission.
"His family was poor, and there was no compulsory education back then, so he only attended primary school for three years. Fortunately, he was a boy. If he had been a girl, his family wouldn't have even supported him for those three years."
Mr. Du was very satisfied with Lin Zhuyue's surprised reaction. He liked to talk about topics that would make people exclaim in surprise from time to time.
"After school, he became an apprentice to a carpenter and learned feng shui. He could tell where graves were by looking at the surrounding terrain. Laws were lax back then, so he was very careful in his dealings. By the time the police caught up with him, he'd already retired and laundered all his money... Hey, little girl?"
Lin Zhuyue anxiously chased after the young policeman who had just parked the police car:
"Officer Sun! Don't go! We have to go back to the villa! If I'm not mistaken, Miss Du is in danger now!"
Lin Zhuyue recalled the twenty or so people who surrounded Mr. Yan when he just left the community, and said to Officer Sun, who was confused:
"We need to bring more people. Could you please call some colleagues as soon as possible?"
Officer Sun thought to himself, isn’t everything okay now?
But when he saw Lin Zhuyue's anxious look, he became a little uncertain. When he had been with Lin Zhuyue before, he was very sure that she was mentally stable, not sick, and a very steady person, and she would definitely not talk nonsense.
Mr. Du was also confused: "What's going on, Xiaolin?"
Lin Zhuyue thought for a moment and made arrangements:
"Uncle, please stay in the police station. I will call you when the matter is resolved. No matter who tells you to leave, don't leave before you receive my call."
If Mr. Yan really has a problem, then the matter has not been resolved.
But if the issue wasn't resolved, what about the call Lin Zhuyue received from the Spiritual Master's Mansion's logistics center? What about the message from the National Security Bureau informing the police that they could evacuate? Who gave the National Security Bureau this information?
The fog is thick and dangers are lurking on every side.
Lin Zhuyue opened the driver's door and climbed in. She pressed a button, and the seat configuration changed from Shi Can's Mode 2 to her Mode 1. She started the car, shifted into gear, released the parking brake, and stepped on the accelerator. She left the police station yard and drove as fast as she could to where Du Liyun was.
Officer Sun immediately called back his colleagues who had just dispersed and went after Lin Zhuyue without stopping.
Just as the car was about to drive into the community gate, Lin Zhuyue's cell phone rang. It was Shi Can calling.
Lin Zhuyue answered the phone and asked:
"You finally called! Did you get enough sleep in the hospital?"
"Hospital? Who told you I was in the hospital? Mr. Ni and I were locked in a small dark room and were almost electrocuted to death. We finally got out and are rushing over there now."
Shi Can didn't have time to study the hospital carefully. He took his phone and hurriedly told his partner Lin Zhuyue what he saw and judged.
"I met Chen Junhao. According to what he revealed, he has an employer who wants to borrow some life span. They're probably looking to borrow the life span of the child in Miss Du's belly."
Today is a weekday, and there are not many cars on the road at this time. Lin Zhuyue didn't care whether she was speeding or not. When she encountered a red light but there was no one or car at the intersection, she just ran through it. She said:
"I know who my employer is. I just saw him in the community with a lot of people who looked like doctors. My employer is not in good health, and I thought those doctors were there to treat him. But now it seems that this medical team is most likely prepared for Du Liyun."
"According to the fortune-telling by Master Ni, the child will be born today."
Du Liyun is only seven months pregnant.
How does a seven-month-old fetus come into the world?
Premature birth? Was it due to an impact? Or was it a cesarean section?
"Community? You didn't stay at the police station. Did you take Du Liyun home?"
Shi Chan was a little upset and asked,
"Are you crazy?"
He couldn't understand why Lin Zhuyue did such a thing.
Lin Zhuyue took a deep breath and said:
"I'll tell you something even crazier. Du Liyun is at home right now, and I'm at the police station. I just realized something was wrong and am rushing to her house. There's no one at her house except her and her mother."
"Shi Can, there's something wrong with the Spiritual Master's Mansion. They misled me, the police, and even the National Security Bureau. All of us are making wrong judgments based on wrong perceptions and reacting incorrectly."
There was a curse coming from Shican’s side.
Lin Zhuyue had already driven onto the mountain road. When she was about to enter the community, the railing had not been raised for a long time.
She opened the car window and wanted to call the security guard at the security booth to help raise the barrier, but after shouting for a while no one responded. She found that there seemed to be no one in the security booth.
Lin Zhuyue's heart was set on fire. She stepped on the accelerator, knocked the guardrail aside, and rushed into the residential complex. She would compensate her later, but the Spiritual Master House had to reimburse her and repair her car.
When approaching the townhouse owned by Du Liyun and Ni Hongjing, Lin Zhuyue saw people in white coats and several strong men carrying various equipment in and out of the villa.
Mr. Yan was just outside the door. He was sitting in a wheelchair. He raised his head, and his eyes on his thin face were full of hope.
He hopes that his dying life will be revived, that he can regain the strength to walk, that he can taste all kinds of fine wines and delicacies without encountering gastrointestinal problems, that he can become plump and handsome again, that he can get a response from his sweetheart, that he can start a family with her and have children who can inherit the family business.
Chen Junhao held an umbrella and stood beside Mr. Yan, shielding his employer from the sun. He even offered him headphones and asked:
"It's too noisy in there. Please listen to some music."
Inside the townhouse, shrill cries and screams could be heard from women, probably from Du Liyun and her mother, desperate for help. But the sounds quickly stopped, as if someone had gagged them or taken them to a more sealed room.
Lin Zhuyue stopped the car, pulled up the handbrake, unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the driver's door, and got out.
Chen Junhao was very surprised by her arrival.
Mr. Yan asked, "Didn't you leave already?"
Lin Zhuyue stood not far from him and said condescendingly:
"I suddenly remembered that I hadn't walked the beagle next door yet, so I came back. How about you? Are you out for a walk? You're an entrepreneur, sure enough, you need so many people to accompany you for a walk."
Mr. Yan said calmly:
"Ms. Lin, I won't harm a pregnant woman or her baby. I only want some of the baby's hair. The baby won't be hurt if some of the hair is taken away."
"You call it harmless to let a fetus be born at only seven months? Also, you know clearly whether you want the baby's hair or the child's lifespan."
Lin Zhuyue said,
"Yan Shifeng, tell everyone to stop. The police are on their way. The charges of kidnapping and attempted murder alone are enough to send you to prison for the rest of your life. You have no future."
Yan Shifeng asked, "Does the Spiritual Master's Mansion think so too?"
"Do you overestimate the Spiritual Master Mansion?"
Lin Zhuyue frowned and reminded,
"The Spiritual Master's Mansion does have great power, but it doesn't cover everything. As long as the Spiritual Master's Mansion doesn't pursue the matter of borrowing your life span, you are not guilty. However, harboring fugitives, kidnapping, and attempted murder are not matters that fall under the jurisdiction of the Spiritual Master's Mansion."
Yan Shifeng sighed and said to the young man standing next to him:
"Xiao Zhou, tell the people inside to stop."
Chen Junhao said: "Mr. Yan..."
"Xiao Chen, I can't protect you."
Yan Shifeng looked apologetic and said,
"It's like this in China. No matter what you want to do, as soon as the police show up, you can't do anything."
Chen Junhao lowered his head.
When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with ferocity and anger that almost overflowed as he stared at Lin Zhuyue.
The surveillance cameras nearby were paralyzed. With the help of a doctor, he borrowed the life of his employer's child, and then ignited the natural gas, causing everyone in the house to "accidentally" die in the fire, so that he could conceal the truth.
But Lin Zhuyue noticed everything in advance, and the police would arrive early, so his plan was completely ruined.
hateful……
It’s so abominable…
Chen Junhao gnashed his teeth in hatred, and raised his hand——
Black fog filled the air, and several shadows gathered. These were the souls of the dead he had once subdued. They had lost their minds and were now puppets completely under his control.
He waved his hand, and the ghosts obeyed his command and pounced towards Lin Zhuyue, with sharp, ferocious evil energy as if to tear the girl apart.
But the ghost failed to touch Lin Zhuyue, and let out a shrill scream that almost pierced his eardrums.
Even Yan Shifeng, who couldn't see ghosts, heard the sound.
The amber fire ignited the souls of the dead and burned away the negative energy.
Chen Junhao turned around and ran. He had checked the terrain in advance. If he ran straight ahead along this road, he would see the fence of the community. After climbing over the fence, he would enter the forest, and then he could cross the mountain and leave, maybe even escape from the law.
A white car with a "rental car" sign drove over at a very fast speed. Shi Can stepped on the brakes and the car drifted on the ground. He unbuckled his seat belt, pushed open the car door, held the absolute blade in his right hand, and ran towards Chen Junhao.
Chen Junhao saw Shi Can and said in surprise: "You..."
Why isn't he dead?
How did he get away?
"You're surprised I didn't electrocute you, right?"
Shi Can was very strong, and the distance between him and Chen Junhao was shrinking. He hooked his left hand fingers and said,
"Souls are very afraid of thunder and lightning. There's a high probability that the soul of a person who is electrocuted will be scattered at the same time as death. You are really vicious, you bastard. Do you want to experience the feeling of being electrocuted too?"
With a crackling sound, the Small Five Thunder Curse was activated, and purple lightning fell on Chen Junhao. Chen Junhao, who was busy running away, froze and fell forward to the ground.
Shi Can also caught up with Chen Junhao. He stood beside Chen Junhao, kicked him, turned Chen Junhao over, and pointed the tip of the Jueren knife at his throat.
Ni Hongjing, who almost vomited because of Shican's excellent driving skills, endured the discomfort, got out of the car and ran into the villa to check on his wife.
After a while, he stuck his head out of the window and said anxiously:
"Mr. Shi, Ms. Lin, my wife looks unwell. I don't have a cell phone right now, and my wife and father-in-law's phones have also been taken away. Could you please help me call the emergency number?"
Lin Zhuyue immediately dialed 120.
Shi Can used the Small Five Thunder Curse to hit Chen Junhao twice. After confirming that the other party had lost the ability to move, he grabbed Chen Junhao's collar and dragged him towards this side.
"I can ask the doctor for help."
Yan Shifeng suggested,
"Although they are not doctors from regular hospitals, their medical skills are absolutely fine and sufficient to deal with any crisis."
Lin Zhuyue asked: "What are the conditions?"
Yan Shifeng replied: "I don't want to go to jail."
"You can try to reduce the sentence, but that's only possible if both the adults and the children are safe. If anything happens to either of them, I can make you go away in the dead of night without a clear explanation."
Shi Can threw Chen Junhao away and said to Yan Shifeng,
"I'm not exaggerating. I can really do it. I'm much more capable than the fugitive you hired."
