Chapter 196: Mission accomplished

Hu Dieshang fell down to the ground, twitching like and groaning as a result of the shock making its way through her body. Piggy quickly kicked the hammer which had fallen out of her hands far away from her. He looked at Chi Lian and laughed in amusement, "Boss, "he said, "I can’t believe it worked, we actually got her."

Chi Lian’s heart was still beating really fast; she was still sitting on the ground and keeping a keen eye on Hu Dieshang. In her mind, she thought, ’It’s over, now I can go home.’

"Host, the mission is still not over." T4 informed her. "You still have to post and reveal to the world what you have discovered."

She remembered that her phone was in her back pocket, when she landed down during the pretend struggle with Piggy she had landed on it. She wondered if it was broken as a direct result of that landing. She tilted her body to the side and removed it from her pocket, looking over it first for any damages.

"Boss, what should we do with her?" Piggy asked and she looked up at him.

"Restrain her with her with something, when the police get here they can deal with her." She responded and her attention went back to her phone.

It had a minor crack on the screen but it was working just fine. Now was the time to finish the mission so she posted.

The mighty little peep star: [In the Xunwai woods, deep inside a hidden cabin, I discovered something nefarious while trailing a certain person. For years, the police in the capital have been losing sleep trying to track down this killer and this peep star discovered her in one shot.

If I do say so myself, folks in the capital can now sleep safely knowing that their hearts are safe from air. This peep star has done their good deed for the month.]

She attached a back shot of Hu Dieshang, a picture of the cabin, and a syringe.

"This should be enough to get people guessing and talking, right?" she asked T4.

"Well, the comments are already rolling in and the mission panel shows that the mission has been accomplished.

"Really?" she inquired joyfully and she checked the virtual screen.

’Mission of identifying, photographing and revealing the sleeping killer completed successfully, host can receive rewards now.’

"T4, what rewards did I get?"

"Host, you received two rewards."

Oh yeah." She jubilated prematurely. Two was a good thing, usually she received only one reward but now she was getting two. That punch was not received for nothing.

"Host, the rewards are an upgrade to your virtual farm and an upgrade to the mall. Isn’t it great?" he quickly interjected just as she opened her mouth to complain.

Her grievance was all over her face, she was probably expecting something tangible and awesome.

"T4," she called. Her face had that I wish I could throttle you look.

"Yes host," he answered tentatively.

"You are an ass." She said and she stood up. She carefully wiped the dirt off her clothes with an unhappy look on her face.

Piggy could not help but wonder why the boss’s moods changed like the flickering of a light bulb. One minute she was on and the next she was off. They had just caught the killer, she had exclusive news for her television, why was she so unhappy?

"Tell those two to come out." She told Piggy.

He went away, knocked on the cabin door and told Squirrel and Li Tao to come out because Hu Dieshang was restrained.

When the door was opened, Li Tao went running straight to Hu Dieshang, he bent down and looked at her carefully.

"She doesn’t look like a killer." He said.

"What exactly do killers like?" Squirrel asked as he joined him.

Li Tao eyes moved left and right, as if he was trying to think of what a killer should look like. Over the years as a detective, he had met some killers; they all looked different so he could not describe one particular physical look. "Well, not her." He said. "Killers always give off a vibe, they try to blend in but something gives them up. This one, " he looked at Hu Dieshang once more and shook his head, ’She was always sweet, kind and polite to us when we questioned her. You should have seen her when we accused Shikai, she was distraught, and she even shed a few tears. Two of our young male detectives were so touched by her kindness that they wanted to date her."

Squirrel shivered at the side. "I can only imagine how they will look after realizing she was the killer all along."

"Piggy, Squirrel, I need to go right now." Chi Lian announced, bringing the attention of all three men to herself.

She was scrolling through her phone.

"Boss, aren’t we going to see things through and make sure the police arrest her?" Piggy asked.

"Yes, you also have to make a statement." Li Tao further added.

"No." she shook her head and said, "Someone already beat us to the big reveal. That camera flash which I said I saw earlier on was a paparazzo, the peep star. It’s all over the internet already. Soon, different media houses will come flocking in to cover the story. Since the cat is already out of the bag, I might as well go back home, I have a lot to do."

"Boss, are you serious, the peep star was here!!!" Squirrel squealed girlishly. "Oh my God, I wish I had seen him or her. I am very big fan." He gushed.

"You are a fan of the peep star, why?" she asked.

"Are you kidding, boss, the peep star is the only righteous paparazzo in this empire that cares about the truth. Just look at how he solved Chen Chu’s scandal. If I was in that line of business, I would be just like him." He said dreamily.

"Him! What makes you think the peep star is a man?" she asked after scoffing because Squirrel was being ridiculous.

"Most paparazzi in this empire are male, chasing after stars requires physical body strength, hiding in the shadows, willingness to walk into shady places and get your hands dirty. Most women don’t like such tedious work." He answered so righteously as if his words were gospel truth.

She shook her head and ignored him. Did he learn nothing from the sleeping killer whom everyone assumed was a large male until she disproved the theory by finding the actual killer just now?

"Anyway, I have to go. You guys should stay behind and wait for the news crew at the hotel. You should protect them while they are here and also make sure they interview him." She pointed at Li Tao. "We did all the work together after all."

"Yes boss." They responded.

Immediately after confirming that, she walked away from the rest of the group leisurely.

"But you have to talk to the police." Li Tao shouted again as she walked away.

"No," she stopped her steps, turned back and said, "And don’t mention me to the police at all, I don’t want anyone knowing that I was here. As far as the story goes, you solved the case with these two young brave journalists."

She increased her pace, not wanting Li Tao to run after her or further object her leaving. Her work here was done; the killer was caught, the victim was safe, it was time to focus on finding her son.

She found an isolated place near the road with no cameras, got her motorcycle out of storage and set off for the city.
