"Maybe he was hit too hard just now and Li Da Pao died!" someone whispered.
"Tian Lao Qi, it's all your fault. He was just unconscious, and you punched and kicked him, killing him directly!" someone from the casino started shifting the blame.
"Nonsense, he fell to the ground before I threw that punch and kick. He must have been dead by then. No wonder his skin felt so stiff when I hit him!" Tian Lao Qi naturally refused to admit it.
The two sides began to accuse and blame each other.
...
Time rewinded. Yang Feilong went back after watching Li Da Pao leave in a taxi.
He saw Yang Feilong returning with wine.
By this time, the dishes were also ready, a very sumptuous meal.
"Brother Feilong, quickly try these dishes my mother made. They are no worse than those made by chefs in high-end restaurants," Luo Wenwen said with a giggle. "They will definitely awaken your taste buds."
"Really?" Yang Feilong asked with a smile.
"Don't listen to Wenwen's nonsense. It's just home-style cooking," Luo Yu Jiao said a little embarrassed.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Brother Feilong, you'll know if you try," Luo Wenwen pouted and served Yang Feilong some dishes, looking at him expectantly.
"No need to serve me, I'll serve myself," Yang Feilong smiled and took a bite. He had to admit that Luo Wenwen's praise was not unfounded. Luo Yu Jiao's cooking was indeed exceptionally good.
"A taste of heaven!" Yang Feilong praised with a smile.
"Thank you." A smile appeared on Luo Yu Jiao's face, as if she had quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone ate happily, as Luo Yu Jiao had essentially been reborn.
After the meal.
"Alright, you guys eat. I need to go back," Yang Feilong said.
"It's so late, why don't you stay the night!" Luo Yu Jiao said.
"I'd better not. I have things to do tomorrow," Yang Feilong shook his head and then looked at his sister Yang Qingqing. "You have to go back to school tomorrow afternoon, so we won't go home first. I'll take you back next week."
He didn't stay for two reasons: their rented apartment only had two bedrooms, and it was just right for the four women to sleep two by two in each room. He couldn't possibly sleep alone in one room while the other four women shared another.
As for sleeping in the living room, Yang Feilong worried that if he proposed this, they might not agree and would insist on him taking a bedroom. Thinking of this, Yang Feilong naturally decided not to stay.
"Okay, brother," Yang Qingqing replied.
"Then I'll see you off!" Luo Yu Jiao said.
"No need, it's too late," Yang Feilong waved his hand.
"Then I'll walk you out of the community!" Luo Yu Jiao said.
"This... alright then!" Yang Feilong thought for a moment and agreed.
Yang Feilong and Luo Yu Jiao went downstairs together. It was already past nine o'clock at night, and the night was beautiful. Neither of them spoke for a while.
Luo Yu Jiao broke the silence. "You saved my life. I don't know how I can ever repay you?"
"Your daughter is my sister's friend. What repayment are you talking about?" Yang Feilong smiled and said.
"That's one thing, but this is another. Although I'm not very capable, if you ever need anything in the future, just say the word," Luo Yu Jiao said with a serious expression.
Under the night sky, looking at the solemn Luo Yu Jiao, Yang Feilong smiled and said, "Okay!"
He didn't want to extinguish her hopes.
Luo Yu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and then said seriously, "By the way, my daughter and I are planning to find a new place to live tomorrow. Otherwise, that Li Da Pao will come looking for us again! We can't trouble you every time, and you don't know when he might show up."
"You don't need to rush to move," Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Huh?" Luo Yu Jiao looked at Yang Feilong, confused.
"Evil deeds have evil consequences. Perhaps he will face retribution soon?" Yang Feilong smiled.
"That's what people say, but I've been waiting for almost ten years!" Luo Yu Jiao shook her head with a bitter smile. "I haven't seen him suffer any retribution?"
Although she was kind-hearted, she truly wished for Li Da Pao's death.
"Do you really wish for him to die?" Yang Feilong asked.
"You, you're not going to do anything foolish, are you? I don't want you to do anything illegal," Luo Yu Jiao was suddenly startled, as if she had realized something, and asked repeatedly.
"Of course not. My life is worth much more than his," Yang Feilong grinned.
"That's good!" Luo Yu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, I can read fortunes!" Yang Feilong said seriously.
"Read fortunes?" Luo Yu Jiao was stunned.
"Yes, I can foresee that you will have wealth and honor in the future, and find a man you deeply love and who deeply loves you!" Yang Feilong said earnestly.
Luo Yu Jiao's face flushed upon hearing this. "I haven't dared to hope for that. As long as I'm no longer tormented by Li Da Pao, I'll be content!"
"Li Da Pao, I've also read his fortune!" Yang Feilong said with a smile.
"Oh? What about his fortune?" Luo Yu Jiao's heart tightened. Of course, she wasn't worried about Li Da Pao's safety, as she wished for his death. She was worried that Li Da Pao's fate was too strong.
"He will face a bloody disaster recently. A moment of carelessness could lead to his death and the annihilation of his soul," Yang Feilong said, counting on his fingers.
"Is that true?" Luo Yu Jiao was surprised.
"My fortune-telling skills are only average, sometimes accurate, sometimes not. I can't be sure," Yang Feilong shrugged and smiled. "But I'm sure his time is short, and he shouldn't be able to harm you anymore!"
"I hope so," Luo Yu Jiao said with a bitter smile.
She didn't take Yang Feilong's words too seriously, thinking he was just trying to comfort her.
After escorting Yang Feilong to the community entrance, a taxi was waiting by the roadside.
"Don't see me off," Yang Feilong waved his hand. "Otherwise, I'll worry."
"Alright! Be careful on your way!" Luo Yu Jiao said with concern. "Call me when you get to school."
"Okay," Yang Feilong nodded and got into the taxi.
Luo Yu Jiao then walked back home.
"Did you see him off?" Aunt Luo Er asked.
"Yes, I watched him get into the taxi. It's not too far from Blue Sea University, so it should take about half an hour to get to his school," Luo Yu Jiao replied.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
"I've arrived at school!" Yang Feilong sent a picture of himself standing at the entrance of Blue Sea University.
"It's good that you're home safe!" Luo Yu Jiao's worried heart finally settled. Although she knew Yang Feilong was capable, she was still concerned.
Everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief. They were all still awake and chatting. Now that they heard Yang Feilong was safe, they all relaxed.
Luo Yu Jiao had just put her phone on the charger and hadn't reached the bedroom yet when her phone rang.
"Is it Brother Feilong (my brother) calling?" Yang Qingqing and Luo Wenwen asked almost in unison.
"Let me see," Luo Yu Jiao also thought it was Yang Feilong calling, but upon seeing the caller ID, she was a bit bewildered.
"Yu Jiao, what's wrong?" Aunt Luo Er asked. Not only her, but Yang Qingqing and Luo Wenwen also sensed that Luo Yu Jiao's expression was a bit off.
"Why is the police calling?" Luo Yu Jiao said, unable to hide her shock.
"The police?" The other three women's faces also changed.
Receiving such a call late at night was never a good sign.
