Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Astonishing Discovery (Additional release with 450+ monthly votes)

Liu Xi was having a rough couple of days.

Wang Cuihua had predicted misfortune upon her at the goddess’s house, and indeed, these few days had been nothing but terrible luck for Liu Xi.

Not only was her secret rendezvous with her lover discovered, her good-for-nothing husband also got into a car accident.

Having already developed a psychological fear of the occult, she only shook her head and smirked bitterly when Wang Cuihua promised her lifelong peace.

"We’ve made some soup too, take some over." As Wang Cuihua saw the soup made for saving Luoluo had been spilled, she insisted on replacing it.

Unable to resist her enthusiasm, Liu Xi followed Wang Cuihua home, carrying the pot of soup.

Discovering that they were neighbors was quite an impression.

Wang Cuihua filled a bowl of soup for her, and just as Liu Xi was thinking of leaving, she saw the boy and girl twins playing in the courtyard and couldn’t resist stopping to watch.

Luoluo, seeing her, gave her a smile and even blew a kiss her way.

Luoluo was very affectionate towards the grandmother who had saved her life.

Liu Xi walked over, lifted Luoluo up. She had never seen such a cute child before.

As she was planning to leave after a little while, Luoluo grabbed hold of her braid and wouldn’t let go. If she put Luoluo down, the child would start to cry.

Liu Xi had no choice but to stay a bit longer.

Wang Cuihua and Suizi exchanged glances, puzzled about what was going on.

Their kids usually only showed interest in important figures; Liu Xi definitely wasn’t one of those in their eyes.

In contrast to his sister’s enthusiasm, Bobo was much colder. When Liu Xi tried to hold him, he shook his head and ran off to his mother instead.

Seeing her chubby son’s reaction, Suizi nodded. Yeah, shunning the poor while favoring the rich - now that was her son’s typical response. What got into her daughter?

After a long while, Luoluo finally got tired, wriggled free of Liu Xi, and ran to find her mother. Liu Xi looked at her watch and realized she’d wasted almost half an hour.

Thinking about her useless husband lying in the hospital, she quickly said goodbye to Suizi and took the soup pot to rush out.

The car at home was under repair — actually, it was trashed by Yu Jingting.

Liu Xi had to call Fan Kun to drive over to pick her up; they agreed to meet at the intersection. She had been delayed a bit by Luoluo, and she assumed Fan Kun would be anxious waiting for her.

But when she reached the intersection, Liu Xi was stunned.

Something happened ahead.

At the spot arranged for her meeting with Fan Kun, a large crowd had gathered. Pushing into the crowd for a look, she saw the ground was covered in blood.

Apparently, a big mad dog had run loose in the area, biting anyone it saw.

It had injured several people, some severely.

If Liu Xi hadn’t been delayed by the child, she would have been the one severely injured.

On this thought, she shivered with fear despite the hot weather.

But in her mind, she saw Luoluo’s angelic smile; that child had saved her life.

The crowd was discussing the incident when suddenly someone shouted loudly:

"Hero who took down the dog!"

People started clapping and Liu Xi looked in the same direction.

A tall man was standing there carrying a shotgun, standing against the light, looking mighty and grand.

Everyone clapped, and Liu Xi followed suit, until suddenly someone put a hand on her shoulder.

Liu Xi turned around. Fan Kun was crouched, looking guilty, and signaled her towards the car.

"Why on earth are you clapping too?" Once in the car, Fan Kun fired the engine anxiously, while stealing back glances to make sure that the man with the shotgun wasn’t going to come after them.

"He’s the hero who took down the dog, why can’t I applaud?"

"...Xi Xi, when will you learn to recognize faces? That guy is no dog-fighting hero, damn it. He’s also beat me up before!"

"???"

"That’s big brother’s son-in-law!!!"

"!!!" Liu Xi covered her mouth, oh my god, she didn’t recognize him!

"When I saw him earlier, this guy was seriously ruthless. We’ll have to steer clear of him in the future and definitely not upset him. It scared the life out of me. A rabid dog is scary enough, but he is even scarier..."

Fan Kun was still shaken by what he had seen.

When the rabid dog came out and bit several people earlier, he was waiting for Liu Xi in the car.

Fan Kun had the intention to drive the car into the dog, but he was too scared, his calves shaking uncontrollably. Seeing the dog showing its fangs and grimacing, he was genuinely terrified.

Many people still had guns at this time, like hunting rifles and the like. Some residents nearby came out with a hunting rifle, probably intending to help, but dropped it and ran when they saw the rabid dog.

Just as the dog was about to bite a child who was too scared to move, a passerby stepped forward, grabbed the resident’s gun and fired at the dog.

That passerby was Yu Jingting.

The first shot hit the dog in the stomach, and the dog howled and pounced on him. Any normal person would have been scared shitless by this point, but Yu Jingting managed to calmly reload the gun and aimed another shot at the charging dog’s head.

The dog fell less than a meter away from him. From start to finish, Yu Jingting had not blinked once. His attack was stable, ruthless, and accurate.

"I have to say, big brother’s son-in-law is not just an ordinary person. You’d better pray for your own luck and never provoke him." Fan Kun hesitated and decided he would ask for a transfer when he went home to work elsewhere. The way Yu Jingting handled the gun had left a deep psychological scar on him.

He was afraid he would be the next target.

"Oh..." Liu Xi remembered Yu Jingting’s clothes. She couldn’t remember faces, just clothes.

At this moment, Suizi, sitting with her daughter, was looking in all directions.

"You this little naughty, what’s wrong today?"

"Hehe, doggy~" Luoluo clapped her hands, pointing to the cartoon dog on her clothes.

"It’s a dog, not a doggy—" Suizi corrected her daughter’s pronunciation. Seeing Yu Jingting coming in from outside, she hurriedly went to greet him.

"You’re back— Ah, what happened?!" Suizi was startled when she saw blood on his trouser leg.

"It’s dog blood, don’t ask. I’m going to take a shower; you get me some clean clothes."

Their home in the courtyard had a shower stall. In the summer, they used a black water bag, to heat the shower water by the sun, which was very convenient.

Yu Jingting took a shower and then told Suizi about what had just happened. Suizi was scared stiff.

"Next time, if something like this happens, don’t rush forward. Who knows if the dog had rabies, what if you get bitten?"

"It’s fine. I had it under control. The main thing was I was venting my pent-up rage, and the rabid dog just happened to be there."

"What happened?"

"Do you remember when Jin Qu almost strangled you to death in D City?"

"Of course I remember. How can I forget such a painful memory? But weren’t you investigating my father’s car accident? Why are you bringing up Jin Qu?"

"Father?!" Yu Jingting raised an eyebrow.

He just went out to check on some stuff, and in just one night, his wife had changed her tune?

"Uh, we’ll talk about this later. Tell me what happened with Jin Qu."

Yu Jingting spent the whole night investigating the car accident. With the help of his secretary, he found the home of the driver who caused the accident.

There was no one at home, the front door was locked; he wasn’t sure if they were out or if they had run away.

Yu Jingting climbed over the fence. He broke open their lock and rummaged through the house. There was nothing of value; it looked like they had run away.

This confirmed his belief that this was premeditated and by no means an accident.

"They ran away, but I found this in their stove." Yu Jingting held up a half-burnt piece of paper.

It was this piece of paper that revealed to him the astonishing secret that the person responsible for Fan Huang’s car accident and the person who instigated Jin Qu to kill Suizi were the same person!
