The Second-Level Police Inspector, a sharp-witted individual, seemed to understand the situation. He extended his hand towards me again. "We used various methods to find you, the hero who saved lives. It wasn't easy, but we finally identified you through the dashcam footage of a helpful driver and recognized your license plate..."
He then introduced an elderly man with graying hair standing beside him. "This is Mr. Jiang from Dahua Group in Port City!"
I didn't know Mr. Jiang personally, but I was well aware of Dahua Group; they had donated the library at Jiangcheng University!
Mr. Jiang spoke with a thick accent, his voice quivering with emotion. "Mr. Hu, it was incredibly difficult for me to find you! Among the four people you saved, one is my daughter, another is my son, and one is my daughter-in-law!" The old man wiped his eyes with a tissue. "Our ancestors used to say, 'A drop of water shall be repaid with a fountain.' How can our the Jiang Family repay such kindness?"
He trembled as he bent down to bow to me. I quickly stopped him. "Old sir, please don't do that! I didn't think much about it when I was saving them, nor did I expect anything in return!"
My phone rang incessantly—calls from Jiang Xiaoli, Jiang Huairen, and my mother-in-law were flooding in. I had previously blocked their numbers and had no idea whose numbers they were using now.
"Honey, I was just joking around with you earlier; hurry back home! I miss you! How are Mom and Dad doing? Bring them to Jiangcheng to live with us; they've worked hard all their lives and deserve some rest. When you come back, we can live well together, and I'll have a baby for you. Be good!"
"Xiao Hu, it's not my place to meddle in young people's affairs! Xiaoli has never thought about divorce; it's just me being foolish..."
"Mom's life has been good except for her big mouth; I shouldn't have babbled in front of you! People often say that a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace; you've been married to Lily for three years—how can you let a joke tear you apart? Come back, dear; I'll make you delicious food and take good care of you!"
"Brother-in-law, I am..."
What was happening? Was the sun rising from the west? Not only was my phone blowing up, but even my mother's phone was ringing off the hook.
She spoke earnestly: "In marriage, there are bound to be conflicts. Besides, killing someone is just a matter of hitting the ground; Lily and her parents have said enough already. Hurry home and stop dragging this out."
Was it really going to end like this? What kind of situation was this?
Upon returning to Jiangcheng, the family’s nanny, Sister Hui, had prepared an extravagant feast—lobsters included! My brother-in-law, who usually looked at me with disapproval, was smiling like a blooming flower. "Brother-in-law, you're finally back! My sister and I were about to go to Annan to pick you up!"
"Alright, let your brother-in-law sit down!" My mother-in-law said kindly. "You and Lily should have a child now; having a baby in between will help smooth over any bumps along the way so that it doesn't turn into a laughingstock like this time."
"Come on, let's toast!" my father-in-law raised his glass.
The atmosphere was more intoxicating than the wine itself.
After the meal, those who needed to leave had already departed.
Jiang Xiaoli eagerly began to clear the table. After changing into her pajamas in the bedroom, she flashed me a charming smile and said, "Honey, do you want to wash up first, or should I? Or... how about we wash together?"
I admit, I am a man—a normal man, a man who needs a woman.
Jiang Xiaoli's figure was alluring, her translucent nightgown revealing much more than it concealed.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a notification: a number named "Silent Avenger" had added me as a friend on WeChat.
I clicked to accept, and before I could even ask who it was, a series of photos began to flood in!
Each one sent my heart racing and my blood pressure soaring!
What kind of person does this?
Who is this individual?
Why are they sending me these images?
Is this some sort of self-redemption for me?
I typed back, "Who are you?" but received no further response.
I forced a smile at Jiang Xiaoli and said, "I had some drinks today; I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed..."
