CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32: EXCHANGE FOR THE PRAYING MANTIS REACTION GENE (PLEASE COLLECT VOTES)

Wu Yu handed the wrench to Mahu, letting him use it.

Mahu held the wrench and aimed fiercely at Tang Youquan’s head. Tang Youquan instinctively moved his head back, and the wrench’s sharp front part grazed Tang Youquan’s face, leaving a gruesome and terrifying wound.

Seeing his blow didn’t succeed and Tang Youquan managed to dodge, Mahu cursed and then fiercely struck again at Tang Youquan’s head. This time, Tang Youquan couldn’t dodge, and the wrench hit squarely on the back of Tang Youquan’s left head.

Instantly, Tang Youquan was killed.

Beside him, Zhou Xiaotiao wanted to torture Tang Youquan further but realized that Tang Youquan wasn’t moving at all.

Subsequently, the group realized Tang Youquan was already dead.

That moment, everyone became very clear-minded.

They started blaming each other. Zhou Xiaotiao accused Mahu of striking too hard, killing a person. Mahu blamed Wu Yu for giving him the wrench, while Wu Yu and Huang Bin blamed Zhou Xiaotiao for playing with the dog chain, which led to Tang Youquan noticing and causing all this trouble.

After arguing for a while, they finally agreed that none of them should speak of this incident, because if word got out, none of the four could escape blame.

Then, they began to destroy evidence at the scene. Mahu smashed the already broken surveillance camera at the door into pieces, while Zhou Xiaotiao tried to disguise the scene as a theft by throwing clothes from the bedside cabinet onto the bed.

The remaining wrench was thrown into a bush after they walked quite a distance, feeling it was far enough from the house that the police wouldn’t be able to trace it.

Wu Yu then confessed all the details of the crime committed by the group.

After Wu Yu confessed everything, Luo Fei, Zhao Donglai, and Yang Su walked out of the interrogation room, exchanged greetings, and then left the criminal police unit.

On the way back, Luo Fei kept thinking about how to explain to his uncle and aunt.

The case of Wu Yu and the others brutally killing Tang Youquan was extremely vile. Although Luo Fei doesn’t fully understand criminal law yet, he’s quite familiar with it after some study. Wu Yu and his group are suspected of intentional homicide, with Mahu likely facing a minimum of ten years. Wu Yu, Zhou Xiaotiao, and Huang Bin are considered accomplices, but at least facing three years in prison.

Luo Fei directly took a cab to his uncle’s house.

When Luo Fei arrived at his uncle’s house, his uncle was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. The coffee table in front of him was covered with cigarette butts, and the living room was filled with smoke.

Although Wu Zhiwei always said he had given up on Wu Yu, he was still his biological child, so he must have cared.

Wu Yan, his aunt, and second aunt were sitting on benches nearby. His aunt was crying quietly, while Wu Yan and second aunt were constantly comforting her.

As soon as Luo Fei entered the room, everyone’s eyes turned to him.

"Xiaofei, what’s really going on with Xiaoyu?" Second aunt, being impatient, asked impatiently.

Luo Fei glanced at his uncle and aunt, whose eyes looked anxious, hoping for good news from Luo Fei, but they were destined to be disappointed.

"Speak up, what exactly did this brute do?" Seeing Luo Fei hesitating, everyone sensed something was wrong, and Wu Zhiwei took a drag on his cigarette, speaking calmly.

Luo Fei no longer hesitated and explained the incident of Wu Yu and the others brutally killing Tang Youquan.

"This brute actually did such a thing. If he were here now, I’d beat him to death with a stick." Wu Zhiwei, upon hearing Luo Fei’s recount of what the four did to Tang Youquan, immediately became furious.

"How could Xiaoyu and those kids be so cruel!" Second aunt couldn’t help but speak.

The aunt next to them wanted to say something in defense of Wu Yu but looking at Wu Zhiwei’s expression and thinking about what Wu Yu did, she closed her mouth and just cried.

Afterward, everyone was silent, except for the sound of his aunt’s sobbing.

"What exactly happened to Xiaoyu?" Second uncle suddenly walked in from outside, his face covered in sweat, indicating he had run over.

"Zhao Changfa, you damn fool. Playing mahjong, ignoring calls and messages, do you think you’re some big shot? When such a big thing happens at home, when we need you, we can’t even find you." As soon as second uncle walked in, second aunt exploded. The trouble at home had made Wu Xiaohui extremely upset; not getting Zhao Changfa on the phone only added to her frustration.

"My fault, my fault. My phone was charging, so I didn’t see any messages. If I had seen them, I would’ve come immediately. My fault, my fault. But what exactly happened to Xiaoyu?" Second uncle knew Wu Xiaohui was upset and acknowledged it was his fault, so he kept apologizing.

Luo Fei, standing nearby, explained Wu Yu’s matter to second uncle again.

Second uncle, upon hearing this, also fell silent and sat beside Wu Zhiwei. He wanted to say something to console him but didn’t know what to say, so he quietly lit a cigarette himself.

After an unknown amount of time, second aunt asked Luo Fei, "Xiaofei, given Xiaoyu’s situation, how would the court likely sentence him?"

The aunt, hearing second aunt’s question, also looked at Luo Fei immediately. She no longer hoped that Wu Yu wouldn’t be sentenced, considering what Wu Yu and the others did, it wasn’t likely he’d escape punishment.

"Big cousin and his group committed a crime so vile, it’s suspected of intentional homicide. It’s fortunate that big cousin isn’t the murderer but an accomplice, likely facing between three and ten years, depending on the judge’s decision."

"It’s better if he gets more years, so he can learn a lesson. It’s really outrageous, even daring to kill someone." Wu Zhiwei said coldly.

When Luo Fei and Wu Yan left uncle’s house, it was nearly seven o’clock.

After changing clothes and grabbing a quick bite, Luo Fei headed to work.

For the first time, Luo Fei arrived at work on time.

"Oh dear, so late today. Luo Fei, honestly, what were you up to last night, showing up so late to work today? It’s not like you!" Jiang Xiaoxiao teased when she saw Luo Fei arriving late today.

"Yeah, Luo Fei, be honest. Didn’t you have a date with a girl last night?" Wu Wei joined in the fun.

Luo Fei shook his head and returned to his seat, not in the mood for joking with Wu Wei and the others. The matter with Wu Yu was weighing heavily on his mind.

Luo Fei knew he did nothing wrong, but seeing Wu Zhiwei, second aunt, Wu Yan suffering over this matter, he felt emotionally pained too. After all, he’s human and has his own emotions; he couldn’t be cold and unfeeling.

Last night at uncle’s house, Luo Fei got a notification from the system, acquiring 1500 gold coins, but he didn’t have time to check then.

Seeing the accumulation of 2000 gold coins in the system, Luo Fei’s mood improved significantly.

"Exchange for mantis reaction gene." Luo Fei silently decided. Although he most wanted the cheetah speed gene, he didn’t have enough coins, so he opted for the mantis reaction gene instead, as he planned to exchange for it sooner or later.

"Exchange successful. Suggest host immediately fuse the mantis reaction gene."
