The dark figure hurriedly got up and fled outside.
I turned around and asked, "Sister, are you okay?"
Sister's face was pale as she shook her head.
She asked, "Zhao Di, did you see clearly?"
"I saw clearly."
"Who was it?"
"It seemed to be Liu Asi!"
"Ah!"
Sister exclaimed, her face turning even paler.
I comforted her, saying, "Sister, don't be afraid. We have already called the police; they will catch Liu Asi soon."
Sister nodded.
She sat on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees and trembling.
I held Sister and gently patted her back.
"Sister, don't be afraid. I'm here."
Sister leaned against me and closed her eyes.
She hadn't slept at all, her eyes wide open.
She was afraid that Liu Asi would come back.
I kept comforting her and coaxing her to sleep.
I spent the whole night sharpening the blades of the Soy Milk Maker in the yard.
The next morning, I set up a stall on a bustling commercial street to sell soy milk.
There were many little beggars on this street.
They would do anything to make money.
Not only did they run errands for vendors, but they also helped customers find their way, buy tickets, and deliver items.
They were smart and clever.
They knew everything happening on the street.
I took out a few buns from my bag and handed them to the little beggars, asking them for news about Liu Asi.
A little boy named Gousheng told me that Liu Asi had recently become addicted to gambling, losing all his family's wealth. His son was seriously ill and urgently needed money for treatment, so he had been frequently visiting pawn shops lately.
I felt great joy at this news.
It seemed that Liu Asi's retribution had come.
I gave Gousheng some extra change.
In the following days, I tracked Liu Asi.
I discovered that he frequently visited pawn shops and pharmacies. He owns a house in the southern part of the city, which is quite valuable. The house is an apartment located in a high-end community with tight security measures. After sending his son to the hospital, Liu Asi moved into that apartment. I plan to take revenge on Liu Asi. I believe he killed so many innocent women out of greed for money. I want him to pay the price!
That evening, I followed Liu Asi to the vicinity of the apartment in the south of the city. I saw Liu Asi walk into a narrow alley. The alley was quiet, with hardly anyone around. I thought this was a good opportunity. I decided to tail him and look for a chance to strike. I quickened my pace and followed him.
The alley was long, and Liu Asi walked ahead at a leisurely pace, his head lowered as if lost in thought. After following him for more than ten minutes, he suddenly stopped. Startled, I quickly hid behind a nearby trash can. I held my breath, my heart racing.
Liu Asi glanced back briefly before disappearing from sight. I stood frozen in place. Where did Liu Asi go? I looked around but found no trace of him. I hurriedly ran forward.
Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled me into the backyard of a café. I was startled and about to scream when that hand covered my mouth. My eyes widened in shock. I saw Huang Xin. He gestured for silence. I nodded in response, and he released his grip.
I asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?" Huang Xin countered, "Are you planning to kill Liu Asi?"
"I..."
"Stop messing around."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know that Liu Asi's cousin is an official in the city government?"
"I... I didn't know."
"You can't afford to provoke him."
"But..."
"Hurry home."
"I..."
I bit my lip, tears welling up in my eyes.
Huang Xin sighed.
He patted my shoulder.
"I know you're feeling upset."
"But you mustn't do anything foolish."
"What will your Sister do if something happens to you?"
I lowered my head.
Feeling dejected, I returned home.
When Sister saw me, she exclaimed, "Zhao Di, why are you back so early?"
I bit my lip and suddenly threw myself into Sister's arms.
I cried out loud.
Sister held me, at a loss for what to do.
"Zhao Di, what's wrong?"
"Sister, I... I..."
