Chapter 56: Good Father 2

T/N This is a massive 6.5 k RAW chapter. I dedicated it to Meeples who sent me some ko-fi. Thank you dear. Though I can’t go out to get my fix of bubble tea due to the MCO, oh well. I saw the viral Dalgona coffee though, but I don’t drink milk nor do I own a whisk or even a coffee beans/powder…ha..ha…

Chapter 2

Jiang Liu returned home with his

daughter in his arms. He closed the door and put her daughter on the sofa.

“Yueliang favourite little yellow duck’s pyjama had already dried up. I had washed them using Yueliang’s favourite peach-flavoured detergent. When Yueliang finished taking a bath, let’s put Yueliang’s favourite pyjama and go to sleep.”

When facing her daughter, Jiang Liu

controlled his mood and acted as if nothing had just happened.

“But isn’t Yueliang supposed to

go to school?”

Jiang Yueliang already stopped crying

at this time, but because she had been crying too long, she was still

hiccupping and had a strong nasal voice when talking.

In her concept, changing into her pyjamas means going to bed, but today is not

a two-day break, and she still needs to go to school.

“Today is an exception.”

Jiang Liu then pulled clean clothes

from the balcony and then went to the bathroom to turn on the faucet in the

bathtub. In the process, he always ensured that his daughter

did not leave his sight at all.

“Didn’t Yueliang had a dream

last night? The dream about Yueliang being a little fairy. Because Yueliang did

not want Dad to be alone, so you decided to come down to accompany Dad. The

thing that Yueliang just encountered was the test of God to Dad. Since Dad

managed to save Yueliang from a bad guy, then Dad had passed the test

from God.”

Jiang Liu composed a lie like it was

nothing. In his view, rather than trying to make her understand what she had just

gone through, it is better to calm her down and let her forget the experience.

Perhaps as she grows up, she will

understand what kind of nightmare this would be. But the injuries did not wholly

happen, and the damage was not permanent. After the most painful period passed,

she will be able to manage her own emotions and keep the harm to a minimum.

“Since Dad already knocked down

the bad guy, so it means that Yueliang can always be with Dad in the

future!”

Sure enough, the little girl couldn’t

understand it if it was too cryptic, but when Jiang Liu told her in such a

dramatic way, Jiang Yueliang suddenly realised it.

Her eyes were wide opened, and she

seemed to forget her fear already. She began to sway her father’s hand.

“En!”

Jiang Liu then nodded thoughtfully:

“To celebrate our victory against the bad guy, I will call Teacher Zhang

and ask for one week’s vacation. Didn’t Yueliang told me that you wanted to go

to Disneyland, we will set off tomorrow.”

“Yay!”

The young girl was so happy. After

listening to her Dad’s words, she started to jump on the sofa and forgot about

the scary things that had just happened to her.

******

After bathing, Jiang Yueliang

replaced her torn school dress with a clean pyjama.

The lovely duck patterns on the

pyjamas and the sweet peach scent that she likes let the girl felt drowsier.

The experience just now was too exciting for her. Now that her emotions calm

down, naturally, she grows tired.

Jiang Liu watched his daughter fall asleep, watching the innocent sleeping face. Only after a long while did he get up and left his daughter’s room.

There’s still something that he had

not finished yet.

******

Instead of leaving the house immediately, Jiang Liu opened the system mall to

see if he could buy what he needed.

In the previous world, after he

bought Yizhidan, the System Mall was temporarily closed because of server

upgrades. The mall continued to down until he came to this body. However, since

he was busy looking for his daughter, obviously he did not have any times to

look into it.

The upgraded system mall has indeed

changed. For example, the goods on the mall shelf have increased from the

original one to five. Jiang Liu then carefully appraised the five items on the

shelf.

[Super Hacker Technology]

~With it, you’re the King of the cyberworld~

Valid: Any world

Price: 10,000 points

[Yi Zhidan]

~Intelligence buff~

Valid: Current World

Price: 1,500 points, currently

available in this world

[Invincible Lucky Star]

~Lucky value plugin. The lucky buff will be added randomly~

Valid: 24 hours

Price: 1,500 points

[Hercules Pill]

~Increase strength after consumption~

Valid: Current World

Price: 1,000 points

[Beauty Skin pill]

~After consuming your skin will be equivalent to ice jade bone~

Valid: Current World

Price: 1,000 points

Looking at these five items, Jiang

Liu ruled out the beauty skin pill immediately. He is a big man; he did not see

the need for him to have that kind of ice jade bone skin.

As for the Yizhidan and the

invincible lucky star, he has already experienced it before. But if he

remembered it correctly, both items were sold for 800 points before the Mall

upgrade. However, after the upgrade, both pieces were sold for almost doubled

the point with 1,500 points each.

Jiang Liu did not know that the

reason for the increase in the price of the item was due to the system mall

judging that the actual worth of the two items was much higher than the

previous rate, or because he had already experienced the two items, so the

price had increased.

If it is the latter, does it mean

that whenever he buys a specific item, and that item appears again later, the

price will rise?

But now is not the time to consider

these. Jiang Liu still has 15,300 points. Considering that the missions in this

world might fail, he must leave at least 3000 points to ensure that his

achievement will not fall back to a negative point.

That’s right, although frustrated,

when he knew the mission of this world, Jiang Liu was ready to give up.

Pondering over and over again, Jiang Liu finally clicked on the most expensive

super-hacker technology and Hercules skill. Instantly, he added two skills to

his panel, while his score fell from 15,300 to 4,300.

When he accepted the enormous hacking

skill, Jiang Liu had several minutes of inadaptability. However, this, after all, a product produced by the system. After several moments of inadaptability, the knowledge embedded in his mind was like as if he

had spent a long time learning it personally.

Shaking his head, Jiang Liu went back

inside the house to fetch cotton gloves, which he usually bought for work. He

then put on a mask and headed to the abandoned factory.

*****

“Whoo-hoo.”

Gou Jian had been tied up for more

than two hours. He had woken up a long time ago, and because he had been tied

up for too long, his blood circulation was not smooth, thus paralysing his hand

and feet.

His head was also tied to a rope. The

nylon rope was tightly wrapped around his mouth and circled his head several

times. He tried to bite the rope but failed. On the contrary, he was unable to

control his saliva as it trickled down from his opened mouth, making him looked

even more embarrassed.

Gou Jian is looking forward to

someone passing through this abandoned factory building and help him to unhook

his rope.

At the same time, he also feared the

man who had tied him up here. He was worried that if that man didn’t come back,

he might be starving here. At the same time, he also worried that if that man

he would come back, he might end up being killed him for his deed just now.

Gou Jian was so annoyed that he was so careless that the father found out that

he had been playing with his little girl. If only he were more careful, then

perhaps he would be currently enjoying that beautiful little girl and would not

be suffering any punishment.

“Da, Da —”

There seemed to be footsteps

approaching his location. Gou Jian began to struggle frantically to attract

that person’s attention.

More than a dozen seconds later, the

doors of the abandoned factory building were opened, but instead of the passer-by as expected by Gou Jian, it was rather

Jiang Liu who had come back with gloves and a thick iron rod.

“Whoo-hoo.”

Gou Jian started to even more

frantically. As he saw Jiang Liu, who was approaching him step by step, he

desperately trying to break the binding of nylon rope.

This fat man, with tears streaming

down his face, looked so embarrassing, but even then he couldn’t gain the

slightest sympathy from Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu reached Gou Jian’s side.

Gou Jian at this time was completely scared that he started to urinate. The

yellow liquid flowed down his thigh and soaking his shoes while some fall on

the open space between his leg.

The strong stench made Jiang Liu frown.

“Whoo-hoo —”

Gou Jian looked at the condensed

expression of Jiang Liu and could not help but kneeling and begging him for

mercy. He was willing to give him money as long as he could spare him.

Jiang Liu did not hit him, but

instead took out a dagger and cut the rope behind him.

Suddenly, he was free; his hands and

feet collapsed into the ground. Gou Jian quickly rubbed his mouth, which was

forced to open with both his hand as he coughed and vomited.

“I’m sorry, I’m wrong. You let

me go.”

Gou Jian sat on the floor and looked

up at the tall man with his head up: “I was drunk and confused, I didn’t

mean to bully your daughter, but now your daughter is fine, we should settle

this privately. I’m willing to give you money.”

He still had a little money. Thanks

to the trustee provided by his parents, he still has a building in the village

in the city. Even though he only has little ability, he again could live well

with those tens of thousands of yuan in rent every month.

Money certainly doesn’t matter when

compared to life. As long as Jiang Liu is willing to let him go, he can take

all his savings.

Of course, after he escapes this disaster, he will undoubtedly take revenge on this father and

daughter.

Gou Jian lowered his head as he

blocked his repulsive and vile eyes.

“Good —”

Jiang Liu spat a word coldly. Without

waiting for Gou Jian to be pleased with it, Jiang Liu said slowly, “But I

still have to settle the account first.”

He dragged the iron rod and smashed heavily on Gou Jian’s right hand. With a

crack, the bone in his right hand broke directly. Gou Jian also screamed

terribly upon being hit.

“This hand touches someone that

shouldn’t touch!”

Gou Jian’s heart was in a state of

alarm. He was in pain as he rolled away, trying to get away from Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu sauntered, but the sound of

the iron rod he was dragging and rubbing against the ground was like the music

playing at the funeral. So much that it scared Gou Jian into panic that he was

unable to determine the direction to escape, he rolled and rolled only to

appear at Jiang Liu’s feet.

“Snap —”

Again, there was another sound of a

broken bone. Gou Jian also let out a mournful cry. At this point, his hands

were all twisted. His face was so pale as if he were about to faint.

“Fuck you, if I still have a breath, I’ll kill your whole family!”

This provoked the ferocity in Gou

Jian’s heart. He was originally a cheap person. He has no moral sense, was

arrogant and selfish. Seeing that Jiang Liu’s did not want his life, he

couldn’t bear it anymore. Not being able to vent his heart make him infuriated.

“Laozi find someone to take turn

rape your daughter and then sell her to the Middle East as a slave. Laozi will

scape you alive!”

“Ah—”

Gou Jian scolded and groaned on the

ground in pain.

His words infuriated Jiang Liu. If

those anger could be materialised, Jiang Liu will be shrouded in black mist at

this time.

“Calm down, host. Don’t forget that your task in the world is to reform

this dreg. Once he dies, your task will be judged as fail.”

Seeing that Jiang Liu seemed to be

controlled by his own emotions, 001 stepped out lest it host become wholly

irrational and kill the man in front of him.

“You can rest assured

that I will not kill him.” “

Jiang Liu glanced

towards 001 at out of the corner of his eyes. Without waiting for 001 to

breathe a sigh of relief, he threw away the iron bar in his hand. He then

directly picked up Gou Jian’s with his collar as he fisted his hand and slammed

a punch into Gou Jian’s gut.

The power after

consuming the Hercules pills should not be underestimated. Gou Jian did not

only feel abdominal pain. He even felt that all his internal organs were turned

over by Jiang Liu. He did not only spit out his undigested drink and food, but

even his bile was also spat out clean.

“It’s too

cheap to kill him. You’re right, such a cheap person, I need to take good care

of him – – so that he will – – reform ah!”

Jiang Liu made a

fist once again. Only after Gou Jian was beaten into the

mud, then did Jiang Liu led him

to

go and allowed him to collapse

on the ground.

001 has never seen

such Jiang Liu.

It thought that

even if there was some influence from the original’s emotions, according to

Jiang Liu’s experience in several worlds, he should be able to exercise proper

restraint. This kind of violent means is not something that Jiang Liu would do.

He didn’t seem

to want to stop the influence of

the original emotion on him. Instead, he opened his spiritual world and allowed

the original’s memory to merge with his mind.

Why is that? As an

unemotional system, 001 has a hard time understanding Jiang Liu’s current

behaviour.

“Wohoo-“

Gou Jian couldn’t

yell at this moment; he could only cry, feeling full of grievances. How unlucky

he was, only to encounter such an evil spirit.

“Did you know of your wrongdoing?”

Jiang Lu picked up

the iron bar that he had discarded before. With the end of the rod, he lifted

the other person’s chin and asked.

“I was wrong;

I was wrong.” “

Gou Jian had lost

several teeth; therefore, his speech was a bit incoherent.

“Host, it

makes no sense to ask him to admit he’s wrong if he still hasn’t realised his

mistake at all.”

This can be seen

from the unmoving progress of the task.

001 floats

mid-air, reminding Jiang Liu that it is almost impossible if he wanted to

complete the task this way.

“Yeah, this

is not good.

Jiang Liu did not

care about 001 words. Under Gou Jian horrified eyes, Jiang Liu smiled. He then

raised the iron rod and pointed it at the position between Gou Jian’s leg.

“Ah–“

The shrill and

sharp screams startled the insect and birds that had stayed outside the

factory. After this scream, there was no sound coming out of the factory

building again.

Half an hour

later, Jiang Liu pushed open the factory’s door and made an alarm call at a

public telephone booth not far from the abandoned factory.

“Someone in

the XX factory in XX is about to die. Come here quickly.”

Jiang Liu was

wearing gloves on his two hands. One hand was holding the phone booth’s

receiver while another side was holding his mobile phone. That voice that came

from the mobile phone was something that was edited by Jiang Liu using the

hacker technology that he recently mastered, and it was a recording of a female

voice. Because the editing technology was high, it sounds like a normal woman

who was alarmed.

After hanging up

the call, he dialled 120 again and then hung up the phone. Finishing that, he

cleaned up the nearby footprints and slowly left the scene.

*****

“The left and

right hand were fractured; two ribs were broken. There were varying damages on

his organs. However, this is not the most serious things. The most serious

injuries are on the patient lower bodies. His testicles were completely

smashed. His penis was chopped to the mud. The tear in his anus is also

serious. We need to cut a section of his intestines which will affect his bowel

stool. I already discussed with several experts, and we may need to make an

artificial anus for the patient.”

The doctor’s words

made the police who present at that time frowned. What kind of resentment that

the perpetrators and the rescued victim have ah? What kind of resentment that

he will use this kind of cruel punishment? Simply like a pervert.

“What is an

artificial anus? Will it have an impact on his life? “

One of the police

officers asked. The family of the victim could not be

contacted, so they could not sign for the patient.

“The

so-called artificial anus is to make an opening on the patient’s abdominal

wall. Then we will fix an intestinal tube in his body so that the faeces that

his body could not remove can be collected in a special plastic bag attached to

the opening. It just that artificial anus, after all, is not their anus. The skin

around the intestines is easily ulcerated because of bacterial infection. Besides,

because the artificial anus is uncontrollable, it will lead to random

defecation. Furthermore, the stool that can be collected by the bag is also

limited. If in public environment and the bag is already full, it is easy to

cause faecal urine outflow. “

The doctor was

reluctant to admit that this technology does have specific problems. Still, the

patient’s large intestine has been necrosis for an extended time, and there

seems to be no other solution other than to create an anus.

“The patient

doesn’t seem to have an immediate family member. “

The police who

contacted the victim’s family returned, and several of the police officers

present looked at the situation. It seemed that there is no second option

except for the signing of the operation.

“All in the

premised of saving the lives of the victim.”

The policeman said

so to the doctor. The in-charge doctor did not say much as he hurried back to

the operating room.

“How’s the

investigation? Did the police find anything? Have all recorded video from the

nearby surveillance been collected?”

While the doctor

was inside with the patient, the police held a small meeting outside the

operating room.

Such a vicious attack

was the first time that happens in their local area. Especially this kind of

cruel and heinous means. It was unknown whether this is an act of purposeful

revenge or the first step of the psychopathic attack on society.

Kang Qi was

elected as a temporary leader in charge of this case. At that time, he was the

one who received the alarm call. When he led the team to the abandoned

factory, he already surveyed the surrounding place Since the place was already

marked for demolition and transformation area, people who live in this place

have long since moved out, and there is no witness at all.

In this way, the

police being particularly suspicious. Especially when the other party did not

stay at the scene and wait for the arrival of the police, this can be interpreted

as the other side do not want to cause trouble, but can also be interpreted as

the other side dare not stay at the scene waiting for the arrival of the

police.

Kang Qi had

listened several times to the recording from the alarm centre. According to his

sound judgment, it should be a woman who had reported the alarm. However, they

are not sure whether the other side has used an audio changer to confuse the

police’s judgment. Therefore, he still needs to send this recording for professional screening.

“We only know

that the alarm was made through the telephone booth not far from the abandoned

plant. Someone had gone there to collect the fingerprint and the

footprint.”

Xiang Wu reported

his investigation process: “From the crime scene, we also found a pile of

burned items. We already sent it for identification.”

“How about

you?” “

Kang Qi looked at

Yu Ling, who was responsible for mobilising all the surveillance video around

that place.

“You may not

believe it, but all the videos during this period were gone.” “

Yu Ling replied

with a bitter smile.

“How could

that be?!”

Kang Qi could not

believe it. Not to mention that the streets have now installed monitoring equipment every dozen meters, even those

owners of private shops, which one of them did not install surveillance cameras

outside their stores.

Since the water

and power supply of that abandoned factory had been cut off, therefore, the

previous monitoring equipment may not be as useful. However, one road a little

further away; for example, there is a street more than 100 meters away from the

abandoned factory that has many convenience stores and restaurant.

It is impossible

not to have a surveillance device to capture the video of the victim’s Gou Jian

entering the area.

“It sounds

incredible, but that’s the truth. “

Yu Ling was also

helpless, ah. She followed a few auxiliary police to several shops and asked them. Since those bosses see that they were

police, they are not only cooperative, they also immediately open the computer

to retrieve the surveillance video for that period. Yet, without exception,

each store’s video equipment is missing from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

If they were to

make bold speculation, all the shop owners are involved in this intentional

injury case. However, how could they explain the missing video from the traffic

police brigade on both side of the street? The traffic police brigade can’t possibly

join this large-scale injury case.

Just thinking

about it, Yu Ling felt a little ridiculous.

“Is it

haunted?” Xiang Wu smacked his lips together: “Or is the pervert a

high-level hacker?” “

Kang Qi looked at

his frowning subordinate. He could feel an incoming headache.

Now it seemed that

they could only hope that the victim will wake up.

******

“Wuuu – Dad,

Dad! “

Jiang Liu came

home and took off his gloves. Yet, before he could take rest, he heard a cry

coming from his daughter’s bedroom.

He didn’t wait to

think as he rushed to his daughter’s bedroom.

Seeing Yueliang

eyes still closed, he did not know when the quilt was kicked to the ground.

Yueliang had been waving her hand hard. Her cheeks flushed red as she cried.

“It’s all

right; Dad already beat the bad guy away.”

Jiang Liu also did

not care whether he still wore the cloth that he wore to go outside just now.

He lay down on the bed and hugged his daughter, who had been waving her hand

and feet wildly. His other hand was soothing and patting her back.

In was in the

middle of summer. So Jiang Liu did not wear thick cloth. In just a moment, he

could feel his clothes soak from the child’s tears and stuck to his body.

“It’s all

right; it’s all right.” “

Jiang Liu voice is

gentle and soft. As if sensing the feeling of security being by her father’s

side. The little girl who initially had been crying in her dream finally

settled down. From the small sobs, she let out a whisper.

“Dad-“

The little girl

murmured.

Listen to the word [Dad], Jiang Liu burst into tears.
