Chapter 89: I Can’t Save Her, You Should Go Back!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Tianqi looked at the scene before him, and he was completely stunned in place!

Without experiencing it firsthand, one could never truly understand the horror of it!

He had arrived early at Brother Yidao Funeral Shop, intending to wait for him to open the shop and have a good chat with him.

If the other party didn’t cooperate, as a father, he might really lose control of himself!

But!

Just now!

All those thoughts, all the unrealistic ideas, vanished into thin air!

He no longer had any other thoughts. Right now, he had only one thought.

It was to beg Brother Dao!

Yes!

It was to beg Brother Dao to save his daughter!

Not because he was afraid that Brother Dao would harm him!

But because he was afraid that with just a word from Brother Dao, his daughter would lose all hope!

He was not afraid to die!

But he was afraid that something would happen to his daughter!

At this moment, Li Yidao looked at the young man who was crushed by the cargo truck, and there was no trace of pity in his eyes!

He even couldn’t be bothered to take another look, and he turned around to return to his shop.

Just as he was about to turn back to the shop, he happened to see Zhou Tianqi with a blank expression.

He frowned slightly and looked at Zhou Tianqi.

“Are you here to buy something?”

At this time, there seemed to be nothing else to do at the entrance of his shop except to buy things, right?

Until now, Zhou Tianqi seemed to have snapped out of his shock.

He hurriedly took a step forward.

“Hello, Mr. Li Yidao, my name is Zhou Tianqi, and I am Zhang Chaoyang’s colleague.”

Zhou Tianqi quickly introduced himself and mentioned Zhang Chaoyang’s

name as well.

This way, he could establish a connection between himself, Zhang Chaoyang, and Li Yidao.

Hearing that he was Zhang Chaoyang’s colleague, Li Yidao’s expression paused for a moment.

Colleagues of Zhang Chaoyang meant he was also a police officer.

Li Yidao had a good attitude toward police officers.

After all, they were a group of lovely and respectable individuals, without whom society wouldn’t be as safe and peaceful as it was today.

However, this middle-aged man in front of him didn’t seem to be here to buy anything.

“Are you looking for me?”

Since the man wasn’t here to make a purchase and greeted him, it was evident that he came to see Li Yidao.

“Yes, Mr. Li, I am Zhou Shuyi’s father. I’ve come to ask for your help to save her!”

“Zhou Shuyi?” Li Yidao paused for a moment, then furrowed his brows. “Sister Zhou?”

“Yes, people call her ‘Sister Zhou’ on the platform during her live streams.” Zhou Tianqi, in the role of a father, was quite humble.

Li Yidao was stunned for a moment. “So, the daughter of this person is someone I followed, and he come to see me?”

“Moreover, he’s a police officer?”

“He’s not going to arrest me, right?”

After thinking for a while, Li Yidao said apologetically, “Uh, sorry, I run a funeral shop. If you want to save your daughter, you should go to the hospital. That’s where people are saved. I can’t help with that. Finding me won’t be of any use.”

Though the man in front of him was a police officer, an authoritative figure, Li Yidao didn’t hesitate to refuse.

He was not a friend of this “Sister Zhou”, and he didn’t owe her anything.

Why should he save her?

Besides, the system had just been upgraded, and while the Hand of God had lifted many restrictions, saving someone would still deplete his lifespan.

As an individual, he couldn’t keep saving everyone, especially if people started coming to him for help continuously.

Did that mean he should help anyone who comes asking for it?

That was ridiculous!

He wasn’t responsible for the deaths of these people, so why should he pay the price for it?

If everyone expected him to save them, even if he gained more lifespans from using his abilities, it still wouldn’t be enough!

However, Zhou Tianqi was not willing to let this go so easily.

As he saw Li Yidao about to leave, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

He stepped forward and directly grabbed Li Yidao.

Perhaps due to the habits developed over the years, his grip was not simple at all!

He performed a martial arts technique, a direct and powerful restraint!

Li Yidao did not expect him to do this. He was caught off guard!

The pain from his arm made him frown!

At that moment, Zhou Tianqi snapped out of it and quickly let go of his grip. “Sorry, really sorry! It’s just a force of habit, you know, with our line of work…”

Zhou Tianqi tried to explain, but Li Yidao waved him off, his expression turning icy.

“Dammit! Being a cop doesn’t give you the right to act like that! What’s the big deal about you being a police officer?” Li Yidao thought. “You can’t just go around laying your hands on people like that. What a joke!”

“Just go back. I already told you, I can’t save your daughter. Don’t bother coming to me again. Life and death are beyond my control. It’s all about fate,” Li Yidao said coldly.

“The only thing I can tell you is that the arrival of death is accompanied by a glimmer of hope. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on your luck.” After saying that, Li Yidao turned around and walked straight into the shop.

Unbeknownst to Li Yidao, his final words had a chilling tone.

That was the same icy demeanor he used when cursing the young man earlier!

Zhou Tianqi was now mesmerized by Li Yidao’s voice, involuntarily recalling the earlier scene and glancing at the car accident site, now surrounded by a crowd.

A chilling sensation ran up his spine.

He doubted that if he said anything more or persisted further, Li Yidao might deliver the same response to him!

Faced with the terror of death, he found himself at a loss for words.

He could only return to his car, looking crestfallen.

He spent more than ten minutes to calm down!

Then, with his trembling right hand, he took out his phone and called his wife.

“Beep, beep, beep.” The call went through.

“Hello… Darling…”

“Shuyi… She might really be dying!”

Back in the shop, Li Yidao’s mood took a sharp nosedive.

He had spent last night in a daze, feeling off and troubled, and now he had these two incidents to deal with.

As he thought about his dreams, Li Yidao fell into a contemplative silence. He couldn’t put his finger on when it all started, but every time he slept inside the funeral shop, he’d have dreams.

Sometimes they were hazy and forgettable, and other times they turned into downright terrifying nightmares, causing him to jolt awake.

Later, Li Yinuo gave him a present-a stone.

He vividly remembered Li Yinuo’s stern warning, saying the stone had to hang by his bedside all year round.

It was to prove that he truly valued the birthday gift she had given him.

Faced with Li Yinuo’s threat with a kitchen knife, Li Yidao caved in and made a pendant, hanging it above his bed.

Oddly enough, from the very first night he placed the stone by his bedside, he slept like a baby.

Since then, his habit of having nightmares seemed to vanish into thin air.

At the time, Li Yidao didn’t pay much attention and even boasted to Li Yinuo about how he never had nightmares again. But now, as he replayed everything in his mind…

His eyes widened in realization.

A chill ran down his spine.

That stone Li Yinuo gave him was definitely not a run-of-the-mill pebble!

Li Yinuo, this little firecracker…

What on earth was her true identity?
