Chapter 268 A Shocking Pas (2/2)

Li Du was hoping that she wouldn’t stay still. He had just felt the astounding elasticity of her butt, which was probably due to her daily training. That slap had felt good, and he wanted to have another go, but since Rose had turned docile, he couldn’t do it again.

After opening the bedroom door, he placed Rose onto the bed and was about to leave, when Rose suddenly pulled him back. She said groggily, ”Don’t, don’t go… I’m… scared.”

Sophie took her hand said gently, ”Don’t be afraid, we’re all here.”

Rose said, ”You guys, tonight, can you guys not go? I’m really… really afraid. I’m afraid… they’ll come back.”

”Who?” Li Du asked. ”Who will come back?”

Rose’s oval face revealed a frightened expression and said, ”Those bad guys, those murderers.”

Li Du was taken aback. He asked, ”What’s going on? Is it a murderer that you met during work?”

He instinctively turned to check his surroundings, and gestured to Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles to search the place carefully.

Rose shook her head and said, ”No, not me. My father. No, it’s not my father too. I don’t know, Li. I don’t know why they would come to my home…”

Li Du couldn’t understand what she was trying to say. He wanted to say something, but Sophie stopped him. ”It’s just the alcohol talking. She’s mixing up her memories and reality.”

Rose continued mumbling, ”I don’t know why they came, they shot mom and dad, they killed my younger brother, so I hid, and didn’t dare come out…”

Hearing that, Li Du felt his heart sink.

The desk in the office that had caught his eye that one time—it had a series of photos on it. One of them was a family photo.

”They killed mom and dad, they killed my brother. The cops said that he was strangled to death, but it’s not. I know. They drowned him in the toilet.”

Sophie looked at Li Du in shock. Li Du was dumbfounded as well. Who were those people? To be so cruel that they could actually drown a child with their own hands.

From the photos, Rose’s brother had been, at most, eight years old!

”I swear, I’ll find them, and I’ll have my revenge! Those b*stards! I’ll find them!” Rose continued mumbling, ”I won’t let them go! I’ll kill them! Both of them! I’ll kill them! I’ll kill them!”

When she finished, her tone was cold as ice. The hatred and desperation in her words gave Li Du goosebumps.

Sophie looked to Li Du for guidance, and said quietly, ”What do we do?”

Li Du went to hold Rose’s hand and said, ”Good will be rewarded and Evil will be punished, God will strike when the time is right. Go to sleep, Luo Qun. You will surely find them, and you will get your revenge!”

Sophie hesitated for a moment. She then drew a cross at her chest and said softly, ”Oh Lord, please give us your blessings, please make this girl happy. If she needs to sin to achieve her happiness, then please, let me share those sins with her!”

Hearing Li Du’s words, Rose smiled meekly, and finally closed her eyes. However, she didn’t go to sleep, but continued mumbling.

Li Du went out, and Sophie helped Rose change into her pajamas. She did a quick wipe of her face and feet with a warm towel. With that, the female cop gradually fell asleep.

The two walked downstairs, the atmosphere heavy.

Li Du never would have thought that Rose was carrying such a terrifying burden by herself; that she could have experienced such a horrifying trauma.

No wonder—regardless of her profession—she would never be without her gun. Now that he understood more about Rose, he felt that if he were to go through such an experience, he might be even more paranoid than she was!
