Chapter 74: Sister Zhou Is Dying? Panic!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the evening, Li Yidao returned to the funeral shop.
Bathed in the fading sunlight, he looked tired and exhausted.
He slowly opened the door to the shop and walked straightly to his room.
Consuming nearly a hundred years of lifespan was no simple matter.
While it wouldn’t cause physical harm, the exhaustion on his soul and spirit couldn’t be erased.
Seeing his current state, it was evident that he needed at least 12 hours of sleep.
He lay on the bed, too weary even to bother with dinner, and absentmindedly took out a one million yuan check from his pocket, casually placing it on the table.
It was given by Huangpu Qi, though initially, he could have offered much more.
Huangpu family offered ten million for Li Yidao to help Huangpu Qi break free from the consequences, allowing him to continue living.
But… consequences were unavoidable.
Cause and effect were inextricable.
Not to mention, Li Yidao no longer possessed the ability to deal with this.
Even if he did, why should he help someone like Huangpu Qi, who had no familial or personal connection to him?
Furthermore, there was the danger to consider. Using the Blade of Death today had taught him a lesson.
He didn’t target directly the person, instead, he used the item as an agent. As a result, the lifespan consumption was doubled.
This was a wake-up call for him!
Who knew how much more would be required to activate the Hand of God in this way?
It could be ten times or more, possibly leading to his untimely demise.
So, today, Li Yidao learned a valuable lesson. The two abilities he possessed could not be used casually.
Soon, he drifted into slumber.
However, what Li Yidao didn’t notice was a small note on the door.
It had a message written on it.
“Mr. Li, if you return, please give me a call. I am the streamer Sister Zhou, and my number is XXXX.”
Apparently, this was left by Sister Zhou, who came to find Li Yidao but couldn’t locate him.
Unfortunately, he completely overlooked the note, and as he opened the door, it flew away with the wind.
Clearly, Sister Zhou would never receive that call she eagerly waited for. Her attempt to convey her sincerity was futile, as the note had vanished into the breeze…
Meanwhile, Sister Zhou had already checked into a luxurious hotel in Jiang City and was sitting with her assistant, absentmindedly scrolling through her phone.
However, her worried expression revealed that she was indeed anxious.
It was just too eerie!
Every time Li Yidao took action, it was so horrifying!
Sister Zhou had even managed to contact Police Officer Chaoyang!
After hearing about her experiences, he remained silent for several minutes.
In the end, he simply advised her to find Li Yidao and meet him.
Police Officer Chaoyang had now become a prominent figure in the entire Jiang City police force.
After negotiating with the police, Zhang Chaoyang began creating special short videos to promote legal knowledge.
The response to these videos was overwhelming!
Apart from attracting fans through the initial incident, he was now using his own videos to captivate the audience.
It was safe to say it was a fantastic choice!
This person specifically told Sister Zhou that she must meet Li Yidao face to face!
What did that signify?
It meant… Zhang Chaoyang’s case wasn’t as simple as it seemed!
The reason why Zhang Chaoyang could escape so luckily from the clutches of the Grim Reaper was undoubtedly connected to Li Yidao in a way that couldn’t be ignored!
“Sister Zhou, what should we do? I’m a bit scared,” the assistant said, looking somewhat at a loss.
In the beginning, she wasn’t entirely convinced and even suggested finding two so-called masters from their hometown to seek advice for Sister Zhou.
Sister Zhou rejected the idea. But now…
She realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
“How about I have my mom contact that master? She says he’s very accurate in his divination,” the assistant tried to suggest.
Sister Zhou shook her head and replied, “No need. I’ve already asked my parents to come over.”
“If my dad’s here, he’ll handle it. They say folks in his department have a natural righteousness that can drive away evil.”
Sister Zhou’s father was a respected criminal police, and he happened to be in Jiang City.
At first, she didn’t want to involve her parents, fearing they’d worry too much.
But after her talk with Police Officer Chaoyang, she felt uneasy and had to tell them, hoping her dad’s connections could help to talk with Chaoyang and get some answers.
Initially, she thought about heading straight home.
But there was no way her parents would let her roam around after hearing what happened.
Without a second thought, they hopped in their car and rushed over to find her.
“Ding dong…”
Just in the nick of time, the doorbell chimed.
The assistant rushed to open the suite’s door.
A middle-aged couple hurriedly came in.
“Hey, uncle and auntie,” the assistant greeted them warmly.
The couple nodded in response and quickly made their way to Sister Zhou. “What’s going on, sweetheart? Tell us everything! What’s this matter?”
Sister Zhou’s mom looked worried, while her dad appeared extremely anxious.
During the phone call earlier, Sister Zhou didn’t really explain much.
Plus, being in Jiang City at the moment, they didn’t discuss it in detail on the line.
That was why they were anxious to know what exactly had happened.
When Sister Zhou saw her parents, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.
She directly threw herself into her mother’s arms, and tears fell like broken pearls.
“Sob, sob, sob, Mom, your daughter might be in danger.”
Seeing her daughter in such distress, Sister Zhou’s mother was completely flustered. “What’s wrong, sweetheart? Please tell me quickly, I’m so worried!” While comforting her daughter, she kept asking for more details.
Even Sister Zhou’s father, who had experienced many ups and downs, felt a bit at a loss.
“Tell us what happened! Who dares to bully you!” He sounded determined. If someone dared to bully his daughter, he wouldn’t let them off easily!
Then, Sister Zhou explained the whole situation.
After hearing her explanation, Sister Zhou’s father fell into contemplation. As a criminal police, he possessed righteousness that could suppress any evil spirits.
Also, he experienced a lot.
So at this moment, he indeed felt something unusual.
As for Sister Zhou’s mother, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Oh, I wondered what happened! I told you, my dear, why are you so naive to be scared by someone like that?”
“It’s just a publicity stunt!”
“And most likely, they just want some money! If you’re really worried, just contact him and give him some money!”
“If you’re really concerned, I’ll take you to the temple tomorrow to get a fortune – telling.”
In Sister Zhou’s mother’s eyes, this whole thing seemed like a publicity stunt, maybe an attempt to extort money.
It wasn’t a big deal.
Seeing her mother’s attitude, the assistant beside them grew anxious.
This wasn’t a mere attempt to extort money!
It was genuinely eerie!
“No, Auntie! It’s not like that. This situation isn’t that simple. Sister Zhou and I checked all the people he’s been following recently.”
“He’s been following over ten people, and only one person, Police Officer Chaoyang, is still alive!”
“We even had a conversation with Chaoyang, and he suggested that we must find Li Yidao and talk to him face-to-face.’
At this point, the assistant glanced at Sister Zhou’s father.
And he furrowed his brows.
With a puzzled expression, he asked, “Is that really what Zhang Chaoyang said?”
Clearly, he knew Zhang Chaoyang.
Although they weren’t in the same department, they were still part of the same system.
It was normal for them to know each other, especially since Zhang Chaoyang had become a star officer in the police force because of his previous incident.
The assistant nodded, and Sister Zhou chimed in, “Yes, that’s what Police
Officer Chaoyang said.”
“Although he didn’t say it directly, I understood his meaning. The main reason he’s alive after being noticed by Li Yidao… is because of Li Yidao himself.” “That’s why I told you about this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.” Sister Zhou had regained her composure, but her smile was bitter.
Sister Zhou’s mother wanted to say something, but she was stopped by a glance from her husband.
“I got it. I’ll talk to someone about this tomorrow.”
“You stay in this hotel for the next few days. Don’t go anywhere, and don’t look for Li Yidao for now.”
Soon, Sister Zhou’s father made a decision.
After all, this whole thing indeed sounded rather eerie!
Coincidentally, he knew someone who had connections with that special department.
He could ask them for some insights….
