Chapter 60: Unwilling Cooperation

  Collaborate? I'm still fuming with anger. If I had something in my hand, I would definitely use it to smash this thing that's sometimes Officer Wu and sometimes Hou Dayong into pieces.

  "What are you?" I asked irritably, suppressing the intense anger in my heart.

  "Don't be so angry, okay? We're old friends and we've even had lunch together. Have you forgotten?"

  Well, speaking of the past, thinking back to my first day of school, if it wasn't for this inhuman guy inviting me to his villa to look at stamps, I probably wouldn't have had so many stories. After all, my sister and I's misadventures today are still thanks to him.

  "There's a mastermind behind the injustice, and a head to the debt. Today, we're going to settle the account. Why did the Public Security Bureau fail to investigate you and Bai Huaqian, saying they couldn't find any evidence, and instead sent me to a mental hospital?" I recounted the events of this period, preparing to make him understand one by one.

  "Haha, because we were never human to begin with, how could they possibly find us!" Hou Dàyǒng (Alright, Officer Wu has already made his identity clear, and Hou Dàyǒng is back in our story again; let's just call him Hou Dàyǒng from now on) chuckled, as if the disgusting thing that had just happened didn't exist at all. The two old friends were chatting and reminiscing about old times.

  Hearing this, I got even angrier, "Is Elder Sister's Gu poison, something that can be bought with white silver?"

  Hou Dayong nodded and walked over to the refrigerator, leaning against it with one hand, "Didn't you see her in Miao Village that night?"

  "Where is my sister now?"

  "In Lei Xiaoshu's hands, he has taken your sister hostage."

  Kidnapping? I'm not quite convinced that Li Xiaoshu kidnapped my sister. What's the motive? Li Xiao Hao used my sister as a hostage because I could help him get the mail, he used her to coerce me. What purpose would Li Xiaoshu have in kidnapping my sister? My sister and I are of no value to him.

  But what evidence is there to say that Lao Jie's disappearance has nothing to do with him? I couldn't come up with any. As previously analyzed, Lao Jie's disappearance and he are closely related.

  I sat on the ground speechless, staring blankly ahead, unsure of how to react to the current situation.

  "It's actually very simple, as long as you guys help me find Li Xiao Shu, and then I'll help you rescue your sister from him. You guys help me get what Xiao Hao wants, and everything will be perfect."

  Making a deal with the devil always comes with a hefty price. I patted the small bottle in my pocket, which I had been carrying with me since my mother-in-law handed it over to me. Once I find my sister, I will give her the antidote as soon as possible. The only problem is that I am now far away, and I don't know when we can meet again.

  Seeing me bow my head in silence, Wang Jue sat down beside me and said: "Xiao Yu, as friends who have been through life and death together, I can understand your current mood. The deep affection between family members is something that others cannot comprehend. No matter what decision you make, I will help you." I patted his shoulder and grasped both of his hands tightly.

  The poison of my elder sister is under the control of Bai Huaqian, although she is in Li Xiaoshu's hands, whether the poison will be triggered or not is still decided by Li Xiao Hao. If I want to get rid of this entanglement in the struggle between these two brothers, it may not be possible. Moreover, Li Xiaoshu and my elder sister have had no news until now, refusing him, I may never see my elder sister again, agreeing with him, maybe after finding my elder sister, there will still be room for maneuver.

  Alas, time cannot flow backwards, and life has no rehearsals. Having come to this point, one can only follow the trend of the times and quietly observe the changes.
