"Yuan Yuan, don't lie to me. I've already investigated the background of that child. The child's father died in a police shootout five years ago, and the mother abandoned the child and ran away soon after. Even the child's own mother doesn't care about her own child, but you're treating the child so well despite not being related to them - why is that?"
"Do you know what those people outside are saying about you? They say you're an unwed mother, bringing up a bastard and pretending to be a widow. In my opinion, you should just send that child to a nursery or an orphanage."
“……”
Song Baiyu and Su Tingting went down the mountain after paying their respects to the old policeman, only to unexpectedly find Luo Shuyuan still there, with the middle-aged man in a suit chattering away at her.
As he heard the middle-aged man's conversation, Song Baiyu's footsteps slowed down unconsciously.
Song Baiyu had always been puzzled as to why Luo Shuyuan was always at odds with him, and he had once asked her in a roundabout way. At that time, Luo Shuyuan had replied angrily: "Who let you not control your stinky mouth!" Song Baiyu was even more perplexed after hearing this sentence, thinking that he wasn't someone who spoke carelessly. Now, upon hearing the middle-aged man in the suit mention something about children, Song Baiyu finally understood how he had become enemies with Luo Shuyuan.
Lu Shuyuan was a Huang Hua girl, but she inadvertently mentioned to her colleagues that she had a son, and the news was broadcast among colleagues by "big trumpet", so that everyone in the city bureau knew about it. Lu Shuyuan's good reputation was ruined by herself, and it was reasonable for others to resent her.
"Let me go! What are you going to do?" Just as Song Boyu felt guilty, he heard Luo Shuyuan's terrified cry beside his ear.
Song Baiyu looked over and found that Luo Shuyuan was already lying softly in the middle-aged man's arms, with tears all over her face, and her hands were struggling constantly.
"Rou Shuwan, you are mine no matter what, why must it be like this?" The middle-aged man let out a licentious laugh and ignored Rou Shuwan's loud protests as he tightly hugged her with both hands and headed straight down the mountain.
"Brother, Luo Suo Chang seems to have been drugged?" Su Tingting pulled on Song Baiyu's sleeve and said worriedly. With Song Baiyu by her side, she didn't dare to take the lead.
Song Baiyu nodded, when the Municipal Bureau organized a martial arts competition, Luo Shuyuan had once won second place. An ordinary person wouldn't even be able to get close to her, yet now she was lying limply in someone's arms, her hands and feet weak and powerless, it was really strange.
Due to the angle, neither Luo Shuyuan nor the middle-aged man in the suit saw Song Boyu's two people. But Song Boyu could see the middle-aged man in the suit and Luo Shuyuan clearly.
Song Baiyu did not take immediate action, but pinched Su Tingting's icy and soft palm, nodded to her, and then pulled Su Tingting slowly behind Luo Shuyuan.
When Song Baiyu and his group finally reached the foot of the mountain, Su Tingting was stunned. Almost as soon as the middle-aged man in a suit arrived at the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen people surrounded him to greet him. Not far away, there were also several dozen people dressed exactly the same, vigilantly looking around, seemingly also under the middle-aged man's command.
"You two have been following us for so long, shouldn't you come out now?" The middle-aged man in the suit said with a sudden turn of his body, teasingly speaking to Song Baiyu and Su Tingting.
Su Tingting was taken aback by his words. She hadn't expected that despite her careful attempts to follow him discreetly, she would still be discovered. Unconsciously, she looked towards Song Boyu.
Song Baiyu smiled reassuringly at Su Tingting, then turned to the middle-aged man in a suit and said, "You're quite patient, sir. You obviously discovered us from the start, yet you only spoke up now."
This time it was the middle-aged man's turn to be stunned. He looked at Song Baiyu in confusion, but didn't know how Song Baiyu knew that he had discovered their whereabouts.
"It seems you still have some skills, since you knew I discovered that you were following us, why didn't you make a move on the mountain? Now it's probably too late, right?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.
Song Baiyu was right, almost as soon as Song Baiyu and Su Tingting started following the middle-aged man, they were discovered. The middle-aged man couldn't gauge Song Baiyu's strength and had Luo Shuyuan in hand, so he endured and didn't attack. At this time, seeing that his people had arrived to support him, the middle-aged man was no longer afraid of Song Baiyu.
"A bitter melon is not sweet, since Luo Suo Long doesn't like you, it's better for you to give up." Song Baiyu calmly looked at the middle-aged man and replied.
"So you're a friend of Luo Shuwen's, huh? Won't you be from the Chengxi Police Station then? Don't you think you're interfering too much? Do you want me to tell you what happens to those who meddle in others' business?"
"You think you can?" Song Baiyu's face turned angry, and he coldly snorted, disdainfully asking.
Song Baiyu was enraged by the middle-aged man's teasing attitude, and he coldly snorted, having already used his inner breath, and also turned around the heavenly spiritual energy surrounding him.
Song Baiyu's cold hum made the middle-aged man and his entourage of bodyguards feel a sudden shock, as if they had been struck by a bolt of lightning. A wave of overwhelming pressure washed over them, making it impossible for them to stand upright. For a moment, their faces turned deathly pale, and the middle-aged man's mouth corner even began to bleed. The middle-aged man glanced at the expressions of his bodyguards and immediately knew that they were doomed this time.
"Spare my life, I know I was wrong." The middle-aged man did not expect Song Baiyu to be so formidable, and with just a cold hum, he almost had his internal organs shifted. As a member of the Li family, a clan of cultivators, he vaguely knew about the existence of cultivators. Feeling the power displayed by Song Baiyu, even if the middle-aged man was foolish, he now knew that it was impossible for him to deal with Song Baiyu with just these ordinary people under his command.
Middle-aged people can't even dream of it, Luo Shuyuan is an ordinary person, how could he have a friend who practices Taoist magic? However, this was not the time for him to think about that. He was sweating profusely and hung his head low, quietly waiting for Song Boyu's verdict.
"Do I still need to teach you how to do it?" Seeing the middle-aged man surrender so quickly, Song Baiyu felt a bit bored and lost interest in punishing him.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard the words. He quickly gave Luo Shuyuan an antidote and then thanked him profusely before leading his subordinates away.
Su Tingting looked at all of this in disbelief, wondering if she was dreaming. Just now, she was worried that Song Boyu wasn't a match for those dozens of people, but suddenly the situation reversed? This was too magical! She stared blankly at Song Boyu, her heart full of curiosity.
Although Luo Shuyuan's hands and feet were unable to move, her eyes and ears were still in good use. She was very clear about what had just happened, but she also felt inexplicable.
"Song Baiyu, do you know Li Zijian?" Lu Shuyuan asked with a frown, looking at the small sedan that had just driven away and then at Song Baiyu who was standing by with an air of nonchalance.
"Hmm, he's the one I brought to act." Song Boyu found the reason for his feud with Luo Shuyuan. He had intended to make amends with Luo Shuyuan, but upon hearing her suspicious tone, he felt a slight discomfort in his heart and responded casually.
After finishing this sentence, Song Baiyu didn't wait for Luo Shuyuan's response and pulled Su Tingting into a taxi by the road, leaving Luo Shuyuan standing alone.
"Song Baiyu, you scoundrel, cheating people without even drafting a plan!" Luo Shuyuan initially suspected that Li Zijian was brought in by Song Baiyu to put on an act, thinking of staging a heroic rescue scene. However, upon further thought, she realized it was Li Zijian who liked her, not Song Baiyu, and even if they wanted to stage a heroic rescue, it wouldn't be done this way. Once she understood this, she immediately felt that she had been played by Song Baiyu and was furious, but unfortunately, the taxi's tail lights were already out of sight.
