Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Xia Jili fell silent .

Xia Ke tugged at Xia Jili’s hand and asked, “Daddy, is what he said true?”

Xia Jili sighed and nodded . “Yes… You wish to buy a drone, and I do want to buy it for you, but I… Sigh . ”

“You don’t have the money? It’s no wonder you keep delaying… In the past, you would buy anything I liked on the spot . I’ve come to look at this drone so many times with you,” Xia Ke said softly before she shook her head . “Daddy, I don’t want the drone . Give the money to this uncle, okay? Save the little boy, okay?”

“I don’t want such nice pretense, I just want the money I earned! I will only take what I deserve!” Wang Dayou suddenly interrupted the duo . Although he was furious, it was clear that his anger had subsided quite significantly . Clearly, Xia Ke’s words still warmed his heart . He had been pulled back from the brink of murderous rage .

While there was chaos inside the store, it was even more chaotic outside . The police had cordoned off the entire area and kept making announcements, asking Wang Dayou to lay down his weapons and come out . Unfortunately, the police were equally at a loss . They had no idea who was inside and who the person who had locked down the area was! Also, they were unsure why he was robbing a store . Typically speaking, if he was in need of money, it would be more logical for him to go to the bank nearby, so why had he chosen a store? How much money could a store have?

If it wasn’t for money, it was for revenge . They had plenty to say if that was the case, but they had no idea who was inside or what the grudge was . All the negotiation tactics they had couldn’t be used!

Hence, all they could do was make announcements, asking the person inside to calm down and lay down his weapons . They promised to handle things with leniency . But as they spoke, even they themselves felt their words would be useless . It felt completely ineffective .

And indeed, even after making announcements all day, nothing came out of it .

The negotiation expert they had invited over was still on the way . It would be a full day before he arrived . And when it came to grudges, a simple trigger could set off the suspect . No one knew when he would break into a murderous rage . Hence, everyone acted very carefully, afraid of agitating the suspect .

Just as everyone was at a loss, unsure of how to deal with the situation—

A monk arrived at the periphery of the crowd . He stood there, tiptoeing as he craned his neck to look in . He asked a young policeman beside him, “Amitabha . Patron, what’s happening inside?”

The policeman was focused on the store because he had heard that the person had a gun . Hence, he was feeling fearful, and his anxiety had left his palms wet with sweat . To be suddenly tapped on the shoulder gave him a shock, and he nearly turned to shoot Fangzheng!

Fangzheng raised his arms and smiled . “Patron, This Penniless Monk is just asking a question . There’s no need for an execution by shooting, right?”

“Oh, my… You gave me a fright . Why are you so close? Don’t you see the cordon tape?” The policeman let out a long sigh when he saw that it was a monk .

Fangzheng scratched his head in embarrassment . He turned his head and realized that the cordon tape had already dropped, perhaps as a result of the jostling . Fangzheng had not noticed it when he came over .

“Patron, what’s happening inside?” Fangzheng thickened his skin as he asked . He instinctively believed that this matter involved the Formless Door’s mission!

“Someone came seeking revenge with a gun . Someone died . It’s just that simple . Go back . If the person inside erupts and shoots randomly, no one can save you . Hide further away . It’s safer there . ” After the policeman said that, he pushed Fangzheng to walk out .

Helpless, Fangzheng could only retreat .
There were still many onlookers taking in the commotion . However, all of them feared for their lives and didn’t dare come too close . They were peeping from corners .

Fangzheng pricked his ears and listened . He wanted to know what everyone was discussing .

Two people behind him said, “Did you hear it? This store’s boss offended someone . Gangsters came and killed the salesperson inside . ”

“Yeah, I heard that too . I heard many people went in . ”

Fangzheng shook his head when he heard that . The police had already said that it was a case of revenge! Why would there be gangsters? It was a classic case of irresponsibly spouting nonsense .

…

A middle-aged woman by the side said, “I saw it . A young lad wearing a safety helmet . He looked like a worker . Shortly after he entered, a group of people ran out and pulled out a dead person!” When Fangzheng heard this, he found it quite a reliable testimony .

The middle-aged woman continued . “Man, how tragic for the dead person! His head was completely blasted off!”

Fangzheng shot a glance at the door . There was only a little blood on it and no brain matter! Clearly, the woman was also spouting nonsense now .

…

Upstairs, a woman peeked her head out and said to a man, “Tell me, what do you think is happening? Isn’t it weird for there to be a robbery in bright daylight?”

Fangzheng listened to the discussions of a few people, and there were all sorts of explanations—assassins, gangsters, terrorists . It left Fangzheng shaking his head before he decisively ignored all of them… He finally understood that the people outside had no idea of the situation inside . They were all guessing and making things up, so whatever they said sounded like nonsense . None of them were reliable . If he wanted to figure out the situation, he had to personally walk in .

As he looked at the police, Fangzheng knew that he could forget about entering via ordinary means . Hence, he looked around him and smiled . A Golden Millet Dream!

The next moment, Fangzheng swaggered past the police and pushed the door open . It was blocked, making it difficult for him to enter . However, with his abnormal strength, just a slight nudge was enough to push the door open . He entered, closed the door behind him and then moved the rack he had pushed away back where it had been . He blocked off the door to prevent others from discovering him once he dispelled his divine power . After all, it wouldn’t be easy to explain .

Fangzheng swept the area and discovered that there wasn’t any brain matter on the ground . Then, looking at the person inside, Fangzheng instantly locked onto the extremely vile criminal, the number one assassin of the gangs as described by the middle-aged women . Then, looking at the man’s weapon, Fangzheng immediately had the urge to curse . These people were really too much . They spouted nonsense despite not having seen a thing! They only made things worse with their rumors .

This wasn’t a gangster or assassin . The man was clearly just a laborer!

Fangzheng was in no hurry to subdue the man because everyone outside kept saying that the worker had killed . If he didn’t figure out what was happening and rescue the victims first, it might not actually be the best outcome to attack the man already . Therefore, Fangzheng went over to attempt to hear something .

By the side, Wang Dayou still remained horrified and panicked despite having relaxed quite significantly .

“Wang Dayou, listen to me . Up to this moment, everything that has happened is just a misunderstanding . You had no intention to kill . All you need to do is let us out . If we help vouch for you, everything will be resolved . Is that okay?” Xia Jili said .

The other three women echoed him .

Wang Dayou felt a little moved, and just as he opened his mouth to say something…
