Even After My Death-Chapter 642 - 545 Qi Xingzhou, Where is Your Girlfriend?

Qi Xingzhou stretched his arm and yanked Li Fu back. With a kick, he sent him flying to the side.

Li Fu had just stood up when he was kicked down again, involuntarily letting out a cry of pain.

The villagers who had followed right behind arrived just in time to witness this scene, mouths agape in shock standing before the Li family’s gate.

Good grief.

These two had gotten out of the car acting courteous and seemingly mild-mannered.

Who would have thought these young-looking men would be so fierce in their combat skills!

Are all people from big cities this formidable?

"This..." Old Man Zhang licked his lips, glanced at the expressionless Qi Xingzhou standing in the courtyard, then at Li Fu lying on the ground, yelping, and felt hesitant to speak as casually as he had at the door of Li Zhiguo’s house.

He hadn’t sensed such a chilling aura from the young lad back at Li Zhiguo’s doorway.

Standing next to that young girl, although silent, he seemed good-looking and harmless.

Now, without that vibrant young lady beside him, his demeanor had changed, becoming unapproachable, his presence instantly aloof.

... Right, where was that young lady?

"Hey, where’s your girlfriend?" asked Old Man Zhang, peering around.

Initially stern, Qi Xingzhou’s face flushed red at the question, suddenly seeming a bit flustered. "She went inside first," he responded, then glanced back at the house, pulled out the handcuffs he carried on him, and moved forward to restrain Li Fu’s hands.

Since Jiang Ning had just declared Li Fu a villain, he was surely no different from the others before him—a prison sentence was inevitable.

Restraining someone’s movements was something Qi Xingzhou was experienced in.

Li Fu was both shocked and furious, struggling but unable to break free. Thinking of Jiang Ning who had run into his house, and now observing the tall figure of Qi Xingzhou before him, fear gradually surfaced in Li Fu’s eyes as his voice uncontrollably rose, "Who are you people exactly? And what right do you have to arrest me!"

Qi Xingzhou ignored his questions, adhering to his usual silent mode of operation, keeping Li Fu firmly restrained in place.

Li Fu, with both hands and feet bound, lay on the ground, squirming like a pupa, making it impossible for him to sneak away even when Qi Xingzhou wasn’t looking.

"Don’t let him go," Qi Xingzhou said impassively to the other villagers watching nearby, then turned and ran towards the house.

The villagers were left baffled, exchanging glances.

[Ahhh, what exactly is happening? I’m anxious!!!]

[What’s going on! Why hasn’t Qi Xingzhou taken his phone out of his pocket yet!!!]

[I’m dying here, where did Jiang Ning go? Come control Qi Xingzhou, he’s streaming and has even put his phone in his pocket!!!]

"[This cool guy really can’t take a compliment, no sooner had I praised his work as a live stream assistant when trouble started, Jiang Ning’s streams have never had this issue before! No matter how dire the situation was before, Jiang Ning always faced the difficulties head-on with her viewers, daring to stream everything!]"

"[Sigh, this might be the biggest difference between Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning cares about us, while Qi Xingzhou only has Jiang Ning in his heart, he doesn’t care about us no matter which corner we’re in, pointing fingers.jpg]"

"[That’s enough, if it were any other stream, any other host who just silently pockets their phone or lets the screen go black, I would have blocked them already, unlike now, just obediently waiting in front of my phone...]"

"[Hahaha, same here]"

"[+1, but listening to the noise outside, have Qi Xingzhou and his team caught the bad guy?]"

"[...]"

Viewers in the live stream room stared at an utterly dark screen, only able to guess the situation of Qi Xingzhou and his team from faint sounds. They were incredibly curious, yet Qi Xingzhou, after recently pocketing the phone, hadn’t retrieved it, leaving the viewers unable to "see the daylight" again; complaints aside, the online viewership of Jiang Ning’s live stream didn’t decrease at all..."

In fact, Qi Xingzhou, at this moment, indeed had forgotten that Jiang Ning’s phone in his pocket was still live-streaming.

He just wanted to help Jiang Ning pin down Li Fu, and had casually put the phone into his pocket. Now, Qi Xingzhou’s mind was entirely occupied with Jiang Ning, who had entered the house before him, deeply concerned about whether she would encounter any dangers inside... It was impossible for him to remember to continue the live stream.

Qi Xingzhou lengthened his stride and ran inside.

The country house was broad and spacious. After entering, not seeing Jiang Ning anywhere, he immediately called out her name, his voice trembling, rather urgent, "Jiang Ning!"

Soon, Jiang Ning’s voice came from upstairs, "Qi Xingzhou, I’m upstairs."

Qi Xingzhou quickly ran to the staircase.

Jiang Ning appeared on the third-floor staircase, leaning on the railing and looking down. Seeing Qi Xingzhou, she immediately asked, "Where’s Li Fu? Don’t let him escape."

"He hasn’t escaped, I’ve tied him up," Qi Xingzhou responded.

"Good," Jiang Ning’s voice was somewhat cold, "You go ahead and call the police, wait outside for them."

Qi Xingzhou had been rushing upstairs, but his steps halted at her words, then he heard Jiang Ning again, "Li Fu has someone illegally imprisoned in the house... remember to tell the police to make sure they send at least one female officer along."

Qi Xingzhou wasn’t foolish; from what Jiang Ning said, he seemed to understand something, slowly nodding, "Okay."

Hearing Qi Xingzhou’s confirmation, Jiang Ning then turned and walked into a small partition on the third floor.

The wooden door of the small partition was slightly ajar, its lock broken, with several clear footprints on the door, obviously kicked in from outside.

Through the open crack, one could see the cramped space inside was dimly lit, even emitting an inescapable unpleasant stench.

Of course, that wasn’t the main issue. What was most heart-wrenching was that inside the partition, with only a small bed, a sophomore girl named Ni Min had been imprisoned for six months...

Just now, following the System’s prompt, Jiang Ning had rushed to the third floor and discovered the locked partition. Without a word, she kicked down the door.

Ni Min, trapped inside, was in a pitiful state, both physically and mentally tormented severely.

Initially, when Jiang Ning heard her bravely shout those two cries for help, she thought the girl’s condition might not be as bad as imagined, until she saw the person in the corner, babbling incoherently—only then did Jiang Ning realize that the girl had been driven to insanity by the torment over those six months.

Those two cries for help might have been her last redemption after a brief moment of lucidity...
