The man's words left Li Chonglou and Dabao at a loss for how to react.
They could both tell that Yu Yan was hiding something from them, but who could have imagined it would be something like this!
Seeing that the man seemed unwilling to say more, Li Chonglou said in a deep voice, "Tell me about your situation. If what you say is true, I will help you get justice."
It wasn't because he was a bleeding heart. In a sense, the woman who died earlier had also died because of them. Even out of guilt, Li Chonglou had to get involved.
Not to mention that this also involved human trafficking!
The man remained silent.
He once again focused all his emotions on the corpse in his arms.
The two exchanged glances.
"Forget it, then you deal with it yourself. It's just that I don't know if such a demon is still at large in the world. Who knows how many more innocent people will be implicated."
After Li Chonglou finished speaking, he picked up a man and walked out of the room.
Dabao, seeing this, also carried the other survivor on his back. A gunfight had occurred here, and it was estimated that someone would arrive within ten minutes. If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to.
After leaving the room, Dabao quickly caught up.
"Are you really not going to do anything?"
Actually, he wanted to ask why Li Chonglou had been so concerned before and suddenly stopped caring.
Li Chonglou did not answer, walking silently ahead.
Just as the two were about to exit the doorway, the man's voice came from behind them.
"Take us with you."
Li Chonglou grinned and turned to look at the man whose face was still filled with sorrow.
At this moment, he was like the light that shone through when the clouds dispersed, carrying a vitality that was completely different from before.
A sense of vitality.
If he had stayed here, it would undoubtedly have been a prepared sacrifice. If a dying person didn't want to speak, there would be no way to get anything out of him unless torture was used.
Li Chonglou had gambled that he would change his mind. Of course, he wasn't sure if it was because of his words or if the man himself had figured it out.
After the three descended the apartment complex, they rushed towards a deserted area under Li Chonglou's lead.
To avoid arousing Dabao's suspicion, Li Chonglou had to pretend to be looking for the way, stopping occasionally to observe.
As for the children, they didn't bother with them. The police would arrive soon anyway. If they took the children with them, they would eventually have to be handed over to the authorities, so it was better to leave them there.
Under Li Chonglou's guidance, the three traveled very smoothly, not seeing a single pedestrian, and arrived behind a small hill.
In front of them was an abandoned teaching building. The weeds here grew taller than a person. It had been at least three to five years since anyone had been there.
They found a dilapidated wooden house, and the few of them sat down.
The man still held the corpse, his expression sorrowful.
"May I know your name, young man?"
The sky had darkened. Dabao skillfully lit a pile of firewood for warmth. Li Chonglou, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, broke the silence.
"Weizhi."
The man spoke calmly. Li Chonglou got straight to the point, "What exactly is going on with that Yu Yan?"
"She's a demon!"
As soon as Yu Yan was mentioned, the man's emotions turned to hatred, and even his sadness disappeared completely.
He could even be seen gritting his teeth.
This reaction would not occur unless he had been harmed to a certain extent.
Then, the man slowly recounted Yu Yan's story.
Li Chonglou and Dabao finally understood the beginning and end of the matter.
To put it simply, it was a love triangle born out of hatred.
The man and the woman in his arms who had died were good friends with Yu Yan from the same elementary school; they could also be said to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
However, when the three formed a group, it was inevitable that someone would be disappointed.
Wei Zhi had always been an excellent student in both academics and character, and a good child in the eyes of many parents. Coupled with his good looks, he had always been the crush of many girls.
This included Yu Yan and the woman in his arms.
Wei Zhi chose neither Yu Yan nor the woman in his arms. Because of this, the relationship between the three began to become subtle.
Starting from adolescence in middle school, Yu Yan's mentality began to change. She would often attack them when there were many people around. Although they were all good friends, she never considered their feelings.
At first, the two wanted to have a good talk with her, but almost every time she would change the subject. If they were forceful, her words could leave them speechless.
"We grew up together, why did you choose her and not me? Do you both have a problem with me?"
By the time they started working, the two thought that Yu Yan would mature as she grew up, at least understanding that feelings couldn't be forced. But the result was the opposite.
"Not only did she show no remorse, but she became even worse, even going to our workplaces to cause trouble."
As Zhi Wei said this, he covered his head with his hands, his face full of pain.
Li Chonglou couldn't help but sigh, "She's quite a talent to push someone to this point."
Zhi Wei suddenly looked up.
"She's a pervert, not a talent!"
Zhi Wei's large eyes stared intently at Li Chonglou, as if he were the one who had offended him.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I was just joking."
"Is it funny? Is what I'm saying funny?"
Fine, he had said the wrong thing. Li Chonglou immediately shut his mouth.
However, in his opinion, why couldn't such a person be fought against or avoided? Two adults were pushed to this extent by someone, and even mentioning it made them look in pain. To him, this was somewhat incomprehensible.
Zhi Wei seemed to have read his mind and lowered his head, "You must be thinking, why didn't we leave? The world is so big, we could find a place anywhere to never see her again."
"So, why is that?"
This time, Dabao spoke. If Li Chonglou hadn't spoken quickly, he would have been the one rebuffed.
Although the two of them had ordinary physiques, they were already considered strangers to the world of truly ordinary people at the bottom.
At least for the two of them, money had never been something that weighed them down to the point where they couldn't breathe.
Although they both lacked it, the meaning was completely different.
Zhi Wei gave a bitter smile and explained, "How could we not have thought of such a simple solution? But we couldn't escape. A Yan's background was better than ours. Ever since her family died in a car accident, she had been living a life where she no longer had to worry about money."
"Also, did you know that in the eyes of her friends, A Yan has always been a warm-hearted and well-behaved girl? She is good-tempered with everyone except us."
At this point, Li Chonglou and Dabao began to understand.
The two were children from ordinary families. Where could they possibly run?
