Game Hunter - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Shen Kuo’s Tragedy
Everyone looked at Luo Fei in unison. Luo Fei explained, “I have investigated. After the disappearance, two families of the perpetrators of the violence left their original residences and fled to Shangxi City.”

“In that case, Locust Weirdo’s target is those two families.” “Do you know where the two families are now?” Ou Sheng thought.

Luo Fei shook his head and said, “I only know the names of the two perpetrators. One is called Xi Heng, and the other is called Shangguan Wen. As for where they moved to, I’m not sure. The police don’t keep track of their whereabouts.”

After some thought, Ou Sheng said, “From now on, the troops will be split into two. Luo Fei will be responsible for investigating where Xi Heng and Shangguan Wen live, and Tang Ran and Li Li will be responsible for tracing the whereabouts of Locust Weirdo and Yangren.”

“Yes-!” Luo Fei and the others said in unison.

Trying to find Xi Heng and Shangguan Wen in the vast sea of people was not a simple matter. The two of them seemed to have noticed that Locust Weirdo was themselves, so after fleeing to Shangxi City, they hid in the sea of people.

Luo Fei thought for a while and decided to start with Shen Kuo.

There was very little information about Shen Kuo, but fortunately, there were still backup copies in the police hall.

Speaking of which, Shen Kuo was also a pitiful child. He had been abandoned by his biological parents since childhood and grew up in a welfare institution. Fortunately, a man named “Shen Shi” accepted Shen Kuo and adopted him from the welfare institution.

Shen Shi treated Shen Kuo as if he were his own son. Shen Shi did not mind that he had no blood relationship with Shen Kuo at all. On the contrary, Shen Shi invested a thousand percent of his love in Shen Kuo. In Shen Kuo’s heart, he had already treated this unrelated adoptive father as his biological father.

However, just as Shen Kuo thought that he was finally willing to suffer, he didn’t expect that more trouble was waiting for him.

Xi Heng and the others were famous bullies on campus. They treated other students with force and bullied them. There was nothing they didn’t dare to do. Unfortunately, on the first day of school, Shen Kuo was targeted by Xi Heng and the others.

Facing the bullying of Xi Heng and the others, the timid Shen Kuo did not dare to retaliate, nor did he dare to reveal this matter. He was afraid that this would implicate Shen Shi. Every time Shen Kuo faced Xi Heng and the others’ beating, he could only endure it silently.

Back home, when Shen Shi saw the bruises on Shen Kuo’s body and asked where he came from, Shen Kuo only smiled and deceived Shen Shi, saying that he accidentally bumped into Shen Kuo while playing football.

In this way, Shen Kuo had been bullied by Xi Heng and the others in school. This situation lasted for about a year, until Shen Kuo was unable to withstand the pressure, his body and mind collapsed, and he jumped off the building to commit suicide. Only then did Shen Shi know the truth about Shen Kuo being bullied.

After Shen Kuo jumped off the building, the school hurriedly sent Shen Kuo to the hospital. However, due to his severe injuries, Shen Kuo’s treatment was ineffective and he regretfully left this world.

After the incident, Shen Kuo had requested the government to punish Xi Heng and the others. However, because Xi Heng and the others were not even fourteen years old at the time of the incident, they could not be punished criminally. They could only receive civil compensation, and in the end, it was not settled.

Shen Shi definitely couldn’t accept this result. In a fit of anger, he overturned the table on the spot during the negotiation. In the end, Shen Shi’s whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew where Shen Shi had gone.

“Shen Kuo grew up in a welfare institution. He was bullied in school and died in the hospital!” As Luo Fei muttered to himself, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “I finally understand why Locust Weirdo attacked hospitals, welfare institutions, schools, and other places. These places are all related to Shen Kuo’s life. From this, it seems that Locust Weirdo’s true colors are exactly the same as Shen Shi’s.”

Luo Fei also looked at the cameras in hospitals, welfare institutions, and schools. Since Locust Weirdo had attacked these places because they were related to Shen Kuo’s life, Locust Weirdo must have its own thoughts when it came to specific targets.

After all, there were many hospitals, welfare institutions, and primary schools in Shangxi City. Why did Locust Weirdo choose those three places alone? This was indeed a place worth thinking about.

Luo Fei continuously watched the surveillance video back and forth, his eyes flashing with a heavy look.

The three places that Locust Weirdo attacked actually had one thing in common. That day, a woman named “Xia Ruo” passed by.

Luo Fei looked at the information about this woman named “Xia Ruo” and couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth.

“I see. I understand.”

Xia Ruo had a name before, Xi Ruo. Her true identity was Xi Heng’s mother.

Back then, after Xi Heng and the others moved to Shangxi City, not only did Xi Heng change his original name, but his parents also changed their own names.

This Xia Ruo was a high-class primary school teacher. Normally, he would go to Luo Fei, where he grew up, to provide free education for his children. Moreover, because of his lung disease, Welfare Institute would go to the hospital to receive periodic treatment every once in a while.

Luo Fei suddenly realized, “It turns out that Locust Weirdo has three places-the hospital, Welfare Institute, and the school-to find Xia Ruo and force Xi Heng to show up!”

Thinking of this, Luo Fei’s expression gradually darkened.

At the beginning of Shen Shi’s revenge, his goal was also to bully Shen Kuo’s students. But now, he had already lost his mind in order to avenge Shen Kuo. His actions had implicated other innocent people. If he didn’t stop Shen Shi, no one could say what terrible things Shen Shi would do to avenge Shen Kuo.

Luo Fei rushed to the upper-class primary school without stopping, only to learn that Xia Ruo had already resigned.

“Looks like they’ve also noticed that Locust Weirdo has discovered his existence.” Luo Fei judged.

Although Xia Ruo had already resigned, fortunately, Xia Ruo had filled out her current residence in the information. According to the clues given by the headmaster, Luo Fei rushed to Xia Ruo’s house.

Luo Fei walked into a small room. Seeing the darkness here, Luo Fei was puzzled. Did they move so quickly?

“Something’s wrong!” Luo Fei immediately denied, “The doorknob is still new, not stained with dust. Even if they move, they must have just left.”

Just as Luo Fei was about to turn on the light, a sense of crisis suddenly came from the depths of his heart. Luo Fei couldn’t help but look back and see that a shovel had hit Luo Fei’s head.

“What the fuck!”

After Luo Fei finished cursing this sentence, he fainted on the spot because of the attack on his brain.

When Luo Fei woke up again, he found himself tied to a chair.

“What’s the situation?” Luo Fei asked doubtfully.

In a dark corner, three figures walked towards Luo Fei one after another.

Luo Fei felt a little helpless after he saw the real face of the visitor through the faint light.

Luo Fei sighed, “Xi Ruo, Xi Heng, and Xi Qing, what do you think your family is up to?”

“You do know our true identities!” Xi Qing put the kitchen knife on Luo Fei’s neck and said, “Hurry up and tell me, did Shen Shi send you to find us?”

Luo Fei said disapprovingly, “As expected, you all know that Shen Shi is looking for revenge on you. That’s why you ran to Shangxi City and hid here in disguise!”

Luo Fei’s nonsense made Xi Qing very angry. He couldn’t help but roar, “Let me ask you again. Did Shen Shi send you to find us? Don’t challenge our patience?”

The kitchen knife was placed on Luo Fei’s neck, cutting through his skin. Luo Fei quickly said, “Hey hey hey, if you have something to say, don’t touch me. The kitchen knife doesn’t have eyes, I don’t want anyone to get hurt because of it?”

“If you don’t want to get hurt, then quickly tell us your purpose!”

Under Xi Qing’s repeated inquiries, Luo Fei helplessly said, “I’m here to help you!”

“You? You’re the only one here to help us?”

Xi Qing’s tone clearly revealed the suspicions in their hearts. The way they looked at Luo Fei was like looking at a fool.

‘”Hey, hey, hey, what kind of eyes are you guys looking at? Haven’t you heard of people who don’t look good?” Luo Fei complained.

“Why should we believe you?” Xi Ruo asked.

“Just because I’m a Sharp Wolf, and I have my ID in my pocket!”

In Luo Fei’s pocket, Xi Qing and the others had indeed retrieved the military certificate issued by the Sharp Wolf, but even so, Xi Qing and the others were still looking at Luo Fei with vigilance on their faces.

Xi Qing said in a deep voice, “Sorry, the military certificate can also be faked. We still can’t trust you 100%. For the sake of my son’s safety, you must stay here for a period of time. We have already told the landlord about our intention to leave. The landlord will come over in a while. Let the landlord untie you later.”

Just as Xi Qing and the others were about to leave, Luo Fei immediately stopped them and said, “I advise you not to run around. It’s safer to stay with me. Locust Weirdo is chasing your whereabouts outside. Do you think you can run away if it bumps into you?”

“Do you think we’ll believe your nonsense?”

Xi Qing left with Xi Heng and Xi Ruo, leaving Luo Fei tied up in place.

Luo Fei complained, “Really? Why did you take my drive and game card with you?”

“Ah–!”

Just as Luo Fei was complaining, a miserable scream sounded out. Immediately after, Luo Fei saw Xi Qing and the others running back, followed by Luo Fei and the others who were searching for Locust Weirdo.

Luo Fei sneered, “Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive soon. Everyone has gathered together this is!”

Locust Weirdo pressed forward step by step and Xi Qing pleaded, “Let us go. Shen Shi, I’ll give you whatever you want. Don’t hurt Xi Heng, he’s our only child!”

“Ai, pitiful fathers and mothers! If I had known this, why would I have done it back then? If it weren’t for the school violence, things wouldn’t have progressed to this point!”

A sigh attracted Locust Weirdo’s attention. Following that voice, Xi Qing and the others saw Luo Fei standing beside him.

Xi Qing asked in surprise, “What did you do to free yourself from the rope?”

“That thing, I can break free at any time. I was just joking with you guys!” Luo Fei smiled and said, “Look, I’ve already advised you not to run around. Don’t you see each other again?”

Xi Qing asked in surprise, “You already knew that Shen Shi was outside?”

Luo Fei explained, “I happened to discover its silhouette when I arrived. Fortunately, I found you guys faster than it did. That’s why I kept reminding you that you are safe only if you stay with me!”
