Chapter 160: Chapter 160: One Down
It was a noodle restaurant with people filled to the brim.
Looking at the price of the food, it make sense why so many people was eating here. But considering how expensive the raw material are, it sent an alarm to both Yueyue and Xiaoyun.
"Hello ma'am, how many people for tonight?" A server blocked the four from walking in any further.
"Do you know Li Pingzi?" Yueyue ignored the question and asked.
"Um, yes. He's the boss. Hey boss someone is looking for you."
The server waved toward the middle age man sitting down in the corner.
"What's you guys looking for?" The middle age man asked as he walked over to the four.
"We are the intelligence department and you are had been listed as a suspect. Please cooperate and leave with us." Yueyue explained.
"What? For what? I'm a innocent man. Just because I'm selling cheap noodles I'm getting arrested now? This is bullshit!" Pingzi yelled out in anger as everyone in the restaurant turned their attention to the five of them.
"If you are innocent, you will be released. Please don't make it hard for us." Yueyue signaled the two police officer to arrest Pingzi.
"Fuck off! You all are bunch of corrupt government official just jealous of my business!"
Pingzi tried to run away, but the two police officer quickly catches up to him.
"Sorry for the interruption." Yueyue bowed down in apology to the customer inside.
The four walked out with Pingzi in handcuff to the parking and threw him inside the back of the car.
But now there was no space in the car for Yueyue and Xiaoyun to sit.
"You guys can drive back, we'll be there in a second."
The police car drove off as directed, and the two began to walk back to the police station.
"We don't need to arrest the other person?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"Nah, that person is definitely guilty. The fact he's operating with such a low cost, he has to be the one that bribed the warehouse workers to sell him cheap flour.
Beside, the other person has just been in the town less than a month, I really doubt that... Also what is a soldier going to do with a bunch of food?" Yueyue disregarded Xiaoyun's concern.
After walking for five minute, they arrived back at the police station.
"Time to interrogate him." Yueyue commented with boredom in her face, but Xiaoyun felt a hidden excitement in Yueyue's voice.
----
After thirty minute of interrogation with few threats and promise of release, Pingzi admitted everything he had done.
He explained from the beginning how he was able to get in contact with few of the warehouse worker, to hiring a hit man to killing the innocent warehouse worker that wanted to report them.
"Please, I had confessed everything. Can I leave now?" Pingzi begged.
"You really think I'm going to let you go after you kill someone?" Yueyue looked back at Pingzi with a smile.
"B-But you promise me that I'll be let go after I confessed." Pingzi got up from his seat in anger as he realized he has been lied to.
The two police officer pushed Pingzi back down to his seat.
"You got to be the dumbest criminal in existence... This wasn't even a challenge." Xiaoyun mumbled.
"Fuck you lying piece of shit! You fucking whore! LET GO OF ME!" Pingzi pushing back against the police officer and tried to stand up again.
One of the officer got tired of Pingzi resisting so much, a quick elbow made Pingzi instantly fell unconscious.
"Look like case is solved, you two can bring him back into his cell now." Yueyue got up from her seat and left.
"What's going to happen to him?" Xiaoyun asked as he followed Yueyue out out of the interrogation room.
"Not my problem, usually I just submit a report to Yuqi and let her handle it... didn't you said few days ago that you are setting up a judicial system?" Yueyue thought back to conversation between Xiaoyun and Yuqi at the dining table.
"Oh right yeah, that's probably the best place to deal with them... I still need to go to the Thursday trial in person." Xiaoyun thought back to the invitation to see the trial.
As the two walked out of the police station, and stood outside, Yueyue suddenly announced.
"Time to go home!" Yueyue started walking towards the direction back home.
Looking at the sun setting in the horizon, Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.
---
When Yueyue and Xiaoyun arrived back home, it was already six o'clock.
"Welcome back! What took you two so long?" Leyan asked as she opened the door for the two.
"Just had some cases to deal with." Yueyue replied as she walked over to the coat hanger.
"Where's everyone?" Xiaoyun noticed only the three baby was in the living room.
"They went all went to the gym to test something." Leyan replied as she closed the door.
"The gym? That's the last thing I expect to hear them doing." Yueyue looked surprised by the news.
"Let's go see what they are doing right now then."
As the three walked over to the gym, they could hear loud dropping sound to the floor.
"What's going on here?" Xiaoyun opened the door, only to see all of them standing in front of the punching bag.
"Babe you wouldn't believe how strong Yuqi was about to punch! She just knock that thing back all the way to the wall!" Nami draws the distance with her hand.
"It's not that much, you don't need to over exaggerate it." Yuqi's face started blushing.
"Nami wasn't exaggerating it, Yuqi out lifted me and even beat me in arm wrestling." Wuli backed up Nami's claim.
"Really? Let me try it. I haven't use this equipment for quiet a while now." Yueyue walked over and picked the heaviest one to lift.
With a surprise to everyone, Yueyue was able to lift it one handed.
"Yueyue you! How the hell did you become so strong!" Wuli was in complete disbelief.
"I... didn't expect to that either. I don't know how I got that strong." Yueyue awkwardly scratched her head.
"Leyan, you should try it." Xiaoyun looked over to Leyan.
"Me? I guess I'll try it." Leyan walked over to the weight that Yueyue just lifted up and tried it.
Out of nowhere, Leyan was somehow even stronger than Yueyue as she lifted it up one handed with ease.
"This is absurd. How are all of you being able to lift so much? I understand Yueyue being stronger since she goes to gym almost every day.
But Leyan and Yuqi too? This is just unfair." Wuli complained as she could barely lift it up when she tried it herself.
"Nami, come here and try it." Leyan ignored Wuli's complain and moved to the side.
Nami walked up and tried to lift it up.
Out of everyone's expectation, Nami could almost lift it up with both her hands.
"This is just getting ridiculous. You're telling me all my effort is useless when Nami can almost beat me? N" Wuli's will to get stronger was in shamble.
"I mean you are still strong than me and Lily." Shuli decided to speak up.
"That's nothing to be proud of. How do you all get so much strong without even going to the gym?" Wuli looked over to the three standing on the side.
"Um... do we even do any exercise?" Nami looked over to Leyan.
"Nope. The only exercise I had done is taking care of the garden." Yueyue gave her response.
"I have never exercise the past month." Yuqi replied back.
"Then how did we get so much stronger then?" Nami couldn't think of a reason to answer back to Wuli.
"What do we all have in common... wait how is mom stronger than Yueyue?" Nami felt like she was getting close to an answer.
"Wait I think I know why... I got a theory." Yuqi paused as she realized the answer behind it.
"What is it?" Wuli asked urgently.
"My theory is this new strength we got is base on how many time he... did it inside us. Then it make sense that mom is the strongest since she... done it before we are even born."
Yuqi's looked down in embarrassment as she could barely finish the entire sentence.
"I think that theory is right. Mom always has been so much stronger than me even thought I went to the gym. At first I thought maybe it's was just gardening being a intense workout.
This would explain it. Xiaoyun probably came inside of mom so much time consider she got pregnant three times. Not to mention now she had been doing it almost every day." Yueyue backed up Yuqi's claim.
"I... haven't thought of that." Leyan face was completely red as two of her daughter was discussing about her sex life out loud.
"That sound ridiculous, you sure it's not just the virus that is making people stronger? I'm pretty sure there are other people that had been getting strong." Xiaoyun finally spoke up against the claim.
"Then how come I'm not as strong as them? Yuqi's claim seem reasonable to me. Beside, have you thought of why you are so strong? You barely go to the gym, but you are much stronger than the average soldier.
That can't just be the virus since everyone is infected with it. It has to be something to do with your ability and it can somehow transfer to other people... Which is where Yuqi's claim come in." Wuli draws up her own conclusion.
