Wang Yao was taken aback by the boy’s reaction. After regaining his senses, he took a few steps away.
When he lifted his head again, he saw two evil-looking men looking in his direction from the lobby of a nearby building.
Wang Yao made sure to memorize their appearances from afar.
“Sorry,” Wang Yao said to the child.
The child was startled, but he did not speak. He just pursed his lips and looked at Wang Yao within a guarded manner.
Sigh. He turned around and left.
This was the provincial capital and this location was a bustling area. People and cars come and go. The child beggars were definitely not here for just a day. Did no one see them? It was impossible. Why did no one care about them? They were already used to it. Ordinary, everyday people did not dare to interfere with the situation, and people who were able to help did not know how to handle it.
Where was justice? Where was fairness?
Justice would eventually prevail. However, sometimes, it came too late and lost its purpose. In some cases, justice simply could not be asserted. It was beaten miserably by their opponent called “evil.”
Thinking justice always came at exactly the right time was a wonderful ideal, but reality was cruel.
This was the world!
Although the dinner at this hotel was quite good, the incident with the child made Wang Yao feel lethargic when he finished his meal.
That night, he received a message and a call from He Qisheng at the hotel. He wanted to meet Wang Yao the next day.
In the hotel room, the perplexing thoughts only vanished when Wang Yao recited the scriptures a few times.
The next day, He Qisheng drove to the hotel early and waited outside.
“Have you been to the exam venue?”
“Yes,” Wang Yao replied.
“That’s good then. Why don’t I take you around, now that you’re in Ji City?” He Qisheng suggested with a smile.
Wang Yao had actually been to Ji City. No, that wasn’t quite true; he had only passed by. He had not actually looked around and explored the city. This ancient city was famous for its spring water. However, sightseeing was actually not suitable in such a hot weather like this. Furthermore, Wang Yao was not really in the mood for sightseeing, but he thought it would be rude if he shot down He Qisheng’s good intentions.
“Let’s look around then.”
“Okay.” He Qisheng made sure to drive slowly.
Soon, they drove past the place where Wang Yao passed by the day before. In the shadows of the streets and the buildings, Wang Yao saw another two child beggars. One of them was the one he met the day before, and the other one was unfamiliar to him.
“Stop the car for a moment,” Wang Yao said softly.
He Qisheng hurriedly stopped the car by the roadside. Wang Yao looked out of the window quietly. A police car drove past, but it did not stop and stay for a moment.
“What’s wrong?”
“That. Does no one care?” Wang Yao pointed outside the car window.
“What?” Looking out of the window, He Qisheng did not realize what Wang Yao was talking about. “Are you talking about those children?”
“Yes.”
“There should be someone who watches them,” He Qisheng replied after a pause.
He had been in Ji City for some time. He did not only see child beggars in this place; rather, it should be said that, they were not only seen in Ji City, but also in many other cities as well. Most of these children were not originally disabled. Instead, he realized they were beaten until they were disabled, to gain people’s sympathy and seek profit from the act. He was once angry. After that, he felt that any actions to fix it were done in vain, and he got disillusioned to the point that he became used to it. He had seen it a lot, so he became desensitized to the sight.
“I saw him yesterday. That child’s leg was broken purposefully by someone,” said Wang Yao.
The people behind these children were unforgivable!
“Let’s go.” Wang Yao’s tone was very calm.
Without another word, He Qisheng started up the car and drove away. He Qisheng tried to bring him to a few famous places. But He Qisheng could also see that Wang Yao was not interested at all by the sights.
In less than an hour, Wang Yao saw six disabled child beggars at three different locations.
“Brother He, where do you work?” Wang Yao suddenly asked such a question.
“A consulting firm called Zhengyuan.” He Qisheng asked, “Why do you ask?”
“I’m just curious,” Wang Yao answered.
“Has Miss Guo ever gone abroad?”
“Yes. She went to Europe five days ago.”
“It’s good to distract oneself.”
After touring around for a short time, Wang Yao requested to return to the hotel. His first impression of this city was not very positive. The ancient city and provincial government had turned a blind eye tothe matter of the children beggars. The crimes in broad daylight were not dealt with, and they wanted to plan the city’s development and expansion?
Wang Yao was not an angry young man. However, once these things were seen, they typically made people furious.
After staying at the hotel for some time, he went downstairs to have a meal.
It was a four-star hotel and its decorations were not bad. The restaurant below was quite well-known, but Wang Yao went down earlier in the evening, so there were not many diners. There were only two tables of customers, excluding him. A couple was sitting by the window and three youngsters were sitting at the table in a corner inside. He also chose a seat and sat down. Soon, a waiter came over to take his order.
“Mr. Li, do you really want to do it this way?”
“Of course. She acts like she’s pure, right? I’ll let her be pure. I’ll let her have fun tonight and just take a few photos. I’m sure she’ll be obedient after that.”
The voices of the youngsters were very low, but Wang Yao could hear it very clearly.
Why do I keep encountering these troublesome matters?
Within seconds, Wang Yao had no mood to eat. He lifted his head and looked at the youngsters. They looked pretty decent, but their hearts were quite cruel.
I just happened to be in a bad mood. I’ll play with you guys.
In the afternoon, He Qisheng called Wang Yao again, saying that he had already informed the relevant department about the matter of the children, and mentioned that they would handle it. Wang Yao responded, but he did not say much. He knew that He Qisheng did that just to show him that he did.
In the afternoon, he arrived at the restaurant early. He ordered a pot of fine tea and waited there.
When it was around six o’clock in the afternoon, three young women who looked about 20 years old came to the restaurant. One of them was very beautiful and tall.
“It must be very expensive here.”
“It’s okay. It’s just once.”
The three girls sat down, ordered a few dishes, and chatted while they ate.
“I want to order a drink.”
Next, a scandalous, prearranged plot took place.
The pretty girl was drugged by her best female friend and became drowsy.
“Wan, what’s wrong?”
“I don’t know why, but I feel dizzy.”
“I’ll take you to bed then.”
“Okay.”
The two girls helped their friend go upstairs.
“Why do we need to go upstairs?”
“There are hourly-rate rooms here.”
Wang Yao followed them up the stairs and watched them go into a room. A young dandy then entered the room and the two girls came out from the room. Click. The door was locked from the inside.
“I’ll let you have fun!”
Looking at the beautiful woman on the bed, the young dandy was somewhat impatient and immediately took off his shirt. When he was preparing to take off his trousers, there was a knock outside.
“Who is it?” He looked out from the peephole, but he saw nothing.
“Damn. Crazy.” There was another knock just when he was about to go back.
He opened the door fiercely.
“Do you want to die?!”
That’s when he saw a fist.
Thud. He flew back and collapsed onto the floor.
A silhouette came in through the cracks of the door and closed the door. The dandy felt dizzy and his vision was blurry. He was about to get up when he felt that someone had hit the back of his head. That’s when he passed out.
After entering the room, Wang Yao looked around. The young, pretty woman was lying on the bed, completely unconscious. If it was not for him…how would she have felt when she woke up, saw her naked body, and realized that her unblemished reputation was completely ruined? Would she jump out of the window, letting it all end even more tragically?
Wang Yao lowered his head to look at the young man lying on the floor. He quite handsome.
He looked the part of a gentleman on the outside, but he had the heart of a scum.
Wang Yao felt that he himself would be condemned by his own conscience if such a scum was not punished in some way.
How should he be punished?
Break his arms and legs, or castrate him directly?
I’ve got an idea!
His eyes lit up. He took out the acupuncture needle from the grid of the system, then inserted the needle on the unconscious man’s abdomen, waist and several other parts of his body. After that, he transferred some of his neixi into the man’s body. After doing all these, he poked a few acupoints on the young man’s abdomen with his finger several times, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
After that, he walked to the edge of the bed to check on the girl. After confirming that she was merely drugged and did not have any other issues, he used the phone in the room to make a call. Then, he walked to the door and pressed his ear against the door. After making sure that no one was passing by outside, he quickly opened the door and left the room. He moved like a strong gust of wind and instantly disappeared into the corridor.
