Chapter 553: What To Do?
writer:废铁行者      update:2022-08-17 16:05
  I woke up about two hours later.

  There were no pedestrians on the secluded path. Even if there were, I don’t think anyone would come to help when they saw me lying on the side battered with injuries.

  Tie Xian and his men were gone.

  It was like having a frightening nightmare.

  But the blood on the ground and the injuries on my body clearly told me: this was not a dream.

  I haven’t confirmed it myself, but I might have killed someone.

  I beat Tie Xian to death with Yin Yang Sanshou’s Fa Jin.

  However, now was not the time to be complacent.

  Tie Xian disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground. If he died, then shouldn’t his corpse be left behind?

  Did his men carry his corpse away, or was he still breathing and rushed to the hospital?

  In any case, they couldn’t make any decisions without Tie Xian and thus spared me.

  My phone vibrated in my pocket. It was interesting my knockoff phone was fine even after such an intense fight.

  I took a look and it was a text from my dad. He asked me if I wanted to have a midnight snack when I got home. Since I used to go home late all the time, so my dad wasn’t really worried about me. After all, it was not even 11 pm yet.

  I leaned back against the brick wall and gave some serious thought to the consequences of accidentally killing a person.

  What should I do, should I claim self-defense? The other side was armed and had more people. I killed their leader empty-handed, so this 1V5 fight shouldn’t be punished, but rather it should be commended.

  Not to mention that Tie Xian was a prisoner on medical parole. If a prisoner appeared outside the prison, then someone in the prison system would have to take responsibility when there’s an investigation.

  But there are still a lot of variables. If I claim I killed Tie Xian in self-defense, then I’m not in the right when I almost crippled Huang San the day before.

  Although I wouldn’t feel guilty even if I killed Huang San, I can’t really claim self-defense in that case.

  Not to mention that there was a group of people (including Lao Mao) who could serve as witnesses.

  Huang San’s dad, Boss Huang, didn’t want to go through the legal system, but used Tie Xian’s group to deal with me privately.

  But if I can’t escape the judicial process, then killing Tie Xian and maiming Huang San are two things that would have to be discussed together.

  In just two days I caused one death and one serious injury, plus when the presiding judge sees my appearance, he will not hesitate to think that I am a violent criminal who is an endangerment to society, right?

  If Boss Huang then bribes some corrupt judges behind the scenes, then even if I am a minor who should get a light sentence, I still may have to go to prison for 4 to 5 years.

  Being born earlier isn’t that great. If I was born a bit later, then I could be treated as a minor under 14 years old at the time of the crime.

  Ah, no, I can’t keep thinking about it in the middle of the street, I have to go home first.

  I dragged my right leg that was in extreme pain and slowly nudged my way towards my neighborhood.

  Now I’m not imitating Xiao Ma anymore, I’m a real cripple.

  Strangely, the night sky in Dong Shan City was particularly clear tonight, so much so that you could see the numerous twinkling stars in the sky.

  I learned to find the position of the Big Dipper with my dad’s teachings. The handle of the dipper was pointing south, indicating it was currently summer.

  Why did this useless knowledge pop up out of nowhere? I don’t think you’re exempt from murder because you know that fact, right?

  Calm down, you have to calm down. Go through your desk drawers when you get home, maybe you can find a time machine.

  Ah, the little companion star next to the Big Dipper also looks very bright tonight…


  Wait, isn’t that the death omen star mentioned in “Fist of the North Star” which can only be seen by people who are about to die.

  I shivered and blinked a few times, then the death omen star was gone. Maybe I was mistaken.

  When I got home, my dad was in the washroom because he ate some bad dumplings at a restaurant. I took the opportunity to slip into the bedroom, so he couldn’t tell I was in a fight.

  I held onto a sliver of hope as I pulled open my desk drawer, but there was no time machine…


  What should I do? Boss Huang is Tie Xian’s backer, his son was also crippled by me, so there’s no reason for him to let me go.

  Suddenly, Ai ShuQiao’s name flashed in my mind in an untimely manner.

  I felt ashamed for that moment of cowardice. I actually thought about asking for help from Ai ShuQiao even if it was only for a split second.

  Ai ShuQiao clearly said that if I raped my female classmates, or even killed them, she would find a way to help me get out of trouble.

  But compared to rape, I think murder sounds cooler.

  Besides, Huang San and Tie Xian were both scumbags. Even Buddha said “killing evil is doing a good deed”, so I was quite proud even as I was worried about charges of homicide.

  But if I turned to Ai ShuQiao in order to get rid of the crime, I can no longer be proud.

  Then wouldn’t I become one of those children of the rich who skirts around the law? A man has to own up to his actions, so what if get arrested and imprisoned for three to five years?

  I counted my age with my fingers. I’m currently 14 years old, if I get locked up for 5 years, then I would only be 19 years old, not even old enough to get married…


  No, I wasn’t even thinking about getting married. I mean, five years in prison can also exercise my character.

  Lenin once said: a life without experiencing was not a complete life.

  So in order to improve my personality and refine my character, it didn’t hurt to stay in prison. Maybe I might even meet an unjustly imprisoned martial arts master in prison who will teach me some secret techniques and make me invincible when I am released.

  But thinking about it, my ass is still the biggest problem.

  Whether it’s “Shawshank Redemption” or “Prison Break”, there were always perverts inside prison who lusts after the protagonists’ ass.

  Although I looked very Spartan with zero femininity, I still couldn’t guarantee I didn’t fit someone’s special tastes.

  After all, prison resources were scarce, there were too many ugly faces. If Shu Zhe was locked in with me, then I could guarantee my ass would be safe.

  Since Shu Zhe had trap qualities, the prisoners might even exchange him as a commodity. The exchange ratio with cigarettes would be something like 1:2…


  But Shu Zhe didn’t really commit any crimes other than selling fake original panties, so there was no chance of him being sent to prison.

  What a pity, Lenin said prison was a place to train character, so if Shu Zhe stayed in prison with me for five years…


  I think only his sphincter muscles would get training. I don’t think there’s any hope of him becoming more manly.

  When I thought about the justice system, I couldn’t resist and made a call to the class leader.

  “Hello.” The class leader’s somewhat sleepy voice came out of the speakers, “Are you still not asleep at this time of night? Do you need something?”


  It was 11:15, so I think the class leader was already lying in bed in her pajamas. Underneath her pajamas was silky smooth skin…


  What kind of nonsense am I thinking about? I’m about to be sent to prison, why am I wasting time daydreaming?

  “So um… class leader, I suddenly have a legal question I wanted to ask you haha.”


  “Legal?” The class leader quickly raised her spirits, she was going to become a police officer after all.

  “Yes, I wanted to know what constitutes surrendering and if it was true that surrendering can reduce your sentence…”


  I think it was because I didn’t know what to ask, but I had no intention of turning myself in.

  “Surrendering?”


  It sounded like the class leader sat up on bed. Was she still sleeping with blankets when it’s so hot outside?

  “Ye Lin, why are you asking this?” The class leader asked in a serious tone, “Did you do something illegal?”


  “Well, as a matter of fact I just killed one or two people, so I don’t know if there’s a discount for turning myself in…”


  It was very tempting to say something like that and scare the class leader, but it was better not to tell the truth.

  “No… I didn’t do anything illegal, I’m just asking for… a friend of mine who seriously injured someone in a fight.”


  The class president sighed. In these situations, it always felt like she was the real class teacher of class 2-3.

  “I already told you to stop hanging around those types of people. If you really consider them as a friend, then you should lead them on to the right path. If they keep treating human life and laws as a game, they will eventually regret it.”


  I was rather dissatisfied with her preachy tone, I was quite dissatisfied, so I said:

  “Forget it, there’s no need to consult with you since it’s all available online anyway…”


  “But you’ve woken me up.” The class leader reminded me nonchalantly.

  “Then you can just go to sleep again. By the way, when you become an officer one day and I accidentally killed someone, is there a chance you would let me go?”


  “No way.”


  She answered without any hesitation.

  It was expected, but I was still a little sad.

  “But it was legitimate self-defense. The other side was composed of ten heinous criminals, would you still not believe me?”


  “I believe that justice will be served, it does not contradict with arresting you.”


  “But the other side has a lot of dirty tricks like bribing the judge. Then I’ll be falsely imprisoned and forced to pick up soap.”


  “If that really happens, I won’t let the scum in the judicial system escape. I will do my best to fight them and clear your name.”


  “But your struggle may take a long time which means I’ll also have to pick up soap for a long time. Can’t you let me go first?”


  The class leader hesitated a little.

  “…I would be going against my own beliefs if I let you go and I wouldn’t be able to be a police officer anymore.”


  What’s so great about being a cop, the class leader is really stubborn. If she knew about my current situation, she will definitely have persuaded me to turn myself in.

  After chatting a bit with the class leader, I hung up and called Xiao Qin.

  “Ye Lin, is this Ye Lin?” Xiao Qin’s delighted voice came through the speakers. It didn’t sound like she was asleep, it sounded like she was lying on her bed and reading manga.

  “Well… actually… it’s nothing serious… I just suddenly wanted to give you a call.”


  “It doesn’t matter, I’ll be happy if you call me any time. After all, we’re already a married couple.”


  “Who’s a couple with you? Don’t get conceited just because I gave you a cheap plastic ring.”


  “Ah, Ye Lin classmate is already committing domestic abuse. Men are really different before and after marriage.”


  Xiao Qin said in a tone like she was cheated.

  “Stop joking around, I need to talk about something serious.” I lowered my voice, “So for criminals like your dad, if they kill someone, how do they usually deal with it?”


  “Sulfuric acid…”


  “Sulfuric acid.”


  “Some say hydrofluoric acid is even better. So if it is a stubborn corpse that can’t be dissolved with sulfuric acid, you can try hydrofluoric acid…”


  “Who was asking you about dissolving a corpse, besides the corpse… no, I mean, how do you avoid being caught by the police if you accidentally kill someone?”


  “Run away…”


  I think it’s a common term among problem youth. She’s really worthy of being a triad boss’ daughter.

  As if sensing the uneasiness in my tone, Xiao Qin asked.

  “Ye Lin classmate, did you really do something to be caught by the police?”


  “No, no, it’s just a hypothetical.”


  I firmly denied.

  “(^__^) hehehe… did Ye Lin classmate kill someone?”


  Wow shit, so direct. Why would you ask something so terrible in such a cheerful tone?

  “I’m touched… although I’m not sure if Ye Lin classmate really killed someone, but you still came to discuss it with me first, as expected of my lifelong partner.”


  No, the first person I discussed it with was the class leader, but she definitely would have persuaded me to turn myself in.

  “Run away,Ye Lin classmate.” Xiao Qin declared.

  “With me.”


  Who wants to run away with you? You make it sound like a honeymoon trip, but it’s just absconding.

  “Isn’t it romantic? A couple being chased by the police, supporting each other in the storm, hiding in a cave off the beaten path…”


  Are you intending to become a caveman with me?

  “Although the conditions will be tough, but we can create a person together in the cave…”


  If the conditions are tough, then don’t make people! How will the child be able to face life if their parents are wanted fugitives!

  “Ye Lin classmate, please do not worry, wait until we have created enough small criminals, then strictly train them…”


  “One day it will be possible to counterattack the police. In order to achieve Ye Lin classmate’s ambition of turning the world into a paradise for criminals!”
