Chapter 196: Chapter 184: A Prophecy Fulfilled
"What method?" Lin Jiayou turned his head to look out of the window at the pitch-dark nothingness, a puzzled expression on his face as he asked.
"Report to the police." Luo Qianqian blinked, her face full of smugness: "A person like him, daring to write that kind of report, must have a lot of dirty laundry."
"And what excuse would you use?" Luo Shufan asked, full of skepticism.
"Murder... or attempted murder also works." Luo Qianqian turned to look at Lin Jiayou: "He bought dangerous goods, which naturally makes him a suspect. Reporting him is the right thing to do; even if he’s not against me, he’d target someone else."
Lin Jiayou nodded, but hesitation was clear in his expression; after all, filing a false report was a crime, and who would go to report it became a problem.
"Where does he live? What dangerous goods did he buy, and where?" Luo Qianqian blinked and asked.
"He’s staying at a hotel on Dacheng Street, room 201, he bought a bunch of things, all from different places too, and all quite far apart; things like kerosene, ether, strong acid, and even ropes and knives..." Lin Jiayou shook his head, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so worried.
"Which hotel?" Luo Qianqian pouted her lips.
"It’s called Yijia Hotel, Yijia Hotel... What are you up to, Qianqian?" Lin Jiayou said while picking at his fingernails; however, seeing Luo Qianqian’s actions at the moment, he froze. Luo Qianqian had taken out her phone and made a call.
"Hello, I want to report a crime... Murder, attempted murder... Dacheng Street, Yijia Hotel, room 201, Wang Lijun... This is my phone number, I am Luo Qianqian from Class 1-9, First Middle School, and I am responsible for my words." She then hung up the phone.
Lin Jiayou looked at Luo Qianqian, the blaming on his face was very obvious: "Qianqian, why would you do that? Do you know that without evidence, you are filing a false report?"
Luo Shufan also frowned as he looked at his sister: "Luo Qianqian, are you asking for it? Shall I loosen your skin for you?"
"Weren’t you scared that he’d lay his hands on me and that’s why you told me? Plus, listen to the stuff he bought; does that sound like what a normal person buys? Even if there’s nothing wrong, he’d be under heavy surveillance just based on those purchases, isn’t it better to just have him arrested for investigation?" Luo Qianqian pouted her lips, and what’s this about loosening her skin? As if he’d ever really hit her before; who is he trying to scare?
Just as Luo Shufan was about to say something, his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he was stunned: "Hello, Brother Zhang... Yes, it’s Qianqian... Go ahead and check thoroughly, I bet he’s planning to make a move... Okay... Then, thank you, Brother Zhang... Alright, Brother Zhang, goodbye."
"Who was that?" They know her? And their surname is Zhang? Luo Qianqian asked, puzzled.
"Zhang Ye, you’re lucky this case landed on him, and even without evidence, they could hold him for a few days." Luo Shufan scoffed, also inwardly blaming himself for not thinking of asking Zhang Ye for help.
"Ha, I had forgotten I had contacts in the police station." Luo Qianqian blinked playfully at Lin Jiayou, her face full of pride: "See, I’ll be fine, won’t I? I am the child blessed by the goddess of luck."
Just as Lin Jiayou was about to say something, his phone vibrated too, and he said with a smile: "Is it my turn to get a call?" Then after glancing at the caller ID, his expression turned serious as he answered the call, standing up and moving away from the siblings: "Yes... Here... Already reported... I see?... She’s bluffing... Okay... Don’t know... Sure... I’ll convey the message, goodbye Big Brother Bai."
Luo Qianqian didn’t hear much, but she caught the phrase ’goodbye Big Brother Bai.’ Was it Bai Yixian? "He has to step away from us for Big Brother Bai’s call, it’s not like I could hear anything if he didn’t." She pouted in complaint.
Lin Jiayou looked at Luo Qianqian with a complex expression: "Tell me, can I be with your sister forever?"
"Ha?" Luo Qianqian looked confused: "Judging by age, it’s not very realistic, but if your sister is a bit more understanding and you a bit more considerate, it’s possible." From high school to growing old together? That’s hard. Love at school is often pure, untainted by interest or money, filled with innocence. But once you enter society and see more of the world, who can tell if one will stay true to their original self?
"I’ll just say she needs to understand me, I’m off to see your sister." Lin Jiayou quickly slipped on his shoes, pushed open the door, stepped out and then turned back: "Right, Big Brother Bai said, we’re going to Wanhai Tower for a meal this weekend. He has something to tell us; don’t forget, okay?"
Then the door closed, leaving the sibling duo looking at each other, and they laughed. Luo Shufan cleaned up the table and finished washing up while Luo Qianqian lazily watched TV.
"Qianqian, what do you think Big Brother Lin meant by asking if he would stay with his wife forever? Does he think you’re a clairvoyant or what?" Luo Shufan finished washing the dishes, washed two apples, cut them into pieces, and brought them to his sister.
"Perhaps I look like an immortal child?" Luo Qianqian joked as well, "Brother, is there anything you want to ask? No charge if it’s not accurate."
Luo Shufan, amused, poked his sister’s head but still played along and asked, "Well then, could the immortal child first calculate my college entrance exams, then career prospects, and finally, my love life?"
Luo Qianqian pretended to be serious and pinched her fingers together, "Mmm, as long as you keep up the current momentum, becoming Top Scholar won’t be a problem. For your career, you could go into the IT industry. As for your love life, well, she’ll be a tender and considerate woman, kind-hearted and gentle, filial, with long flowing hair, beautiful looks, dressed in white surpassing snow, with a voice like a breeze, treasured by you like a priceless gem."
Luo Shufan chuckled and tapped his sister’s forehead, "Have you been watching too many TV dramas? You speak in such scripted ways. So tell me, what will my brother-in-law be like?"
"Tall, handsome, slim in clothes but muscular without them, knows how to cook, smart, well-learned, witty, gentle, faithful, considerate, and can pamper me. A standout in his field, so outstanding that he demands attention, his presence bright like the sun drawing all eyes to him, cherishes me like treasure, loves me as his life," Luo Qianqian blurted out without hesitation.
"So he’s a god?" Luo Shufan chuckled and shook his head, but at night, he quietly noted down today’s happenings in his diary. Years later, looking at the man beside his sister and then at today’s diary entry, he had to admit his sister’s prophetic words.
"My ideal man," Luo Qianqian declared matter-of-factly.
The next day, Luo Shufan asked for leave for Luo Qianqian, because Zhang Ye invited them for tea?
"Qianqian, you help me calculate, where is my girlfriend, my wife, your future sister-in-law?" Zhang Ye scooped her up in a hug as soon as he saw Luo Qianqian, his face brimming with a flattering smile.
"Why is everyone asking the same thing?" Luo Shufan chuckled as he looked at his sister. Was she switching careers to fortune-telling?
"You don’t know, huh? You called the police yesterday, right?" Zhang Ye ordered coffee, juice, milk, and cake, and only continued after the server had left, "I was on duty last night. I’ve only just gotten off work. That man you mentioned, the one named Wang Lijun, he really did commit murder."
Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened in shock, and Luo Shufan opened his mouth in disbelief as well.
"We used some tactics yesterday, and he confessed. This morning, the police station said they found the body; it was his ex-wife." Zhang Ye shook his head, "Both his and his ex-wife’s families thought she had run off with someone else. Who would have known that she was actually killed by him, cut into pieces, and hidden in a spot in his safe at home, scattered over several kilometers." Zhang Ye shook his head again.
"Holy crap, holy moly, holy tree..." Luo Shufan was just blurting out exclamations when he saw his sister’s eye roll, and he quickly corrected himself.
"All those holy exclamations are useless," Luo Qianqian pouted. "How am I supposed to eat cake after talking about this so early in the morning?"
"So, hurry up and calculate where my wife is?" Zhang Ye urged, holding Luo Qianqian’s hand.
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, how would she know? Overwhelmed by the expectant gaze, she said offhand, "At school."
"Which school? Elementary, middle school, high school, or is she currently in college? You’ve got to give me something specific," Zhang Ye pressed, nodding as he spoke.
How would I know, Luo Qianqian kept rolling her eyes, vaguely saying, "The will of Heaven cannot be revealed."
"Pfft." Luo Shufan covered his mouth, turned his face, and snickered, but the thought of that dangerous man wanting revenge on his sister weighed heavily on him. Thankfully, his sister had called the police; otherwise, the consequences were unimaginable.
"Once I find your sister-in-law, I’ll treat you to a meal," Zhang Ye said and then, feeling it wasn’t enough, added, "Lots of meals, however much you want, unlimited."
"I’m not a pig."
