- Chapter 25 - Another 'Old Acquaintance' [3]
Another man, who looked much calmer than the first one, reached out and pushed the first man’s gun away. This man opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, “Officer Liu, haven’t you seen the portrait of the robbers?”
The man only snorted coldly, “Who knows if they have accomplices somewhere. Surname Gu, I will not let any suspicious people off.”
Hearing this man speak, Qin Luo let out a light chuckle, “The criminals are committing assaults everywhere in the amusement park, yet you have time to embarrass the victim here.”
Everyone immediately woke up at Qin Luo’s reminder, and they hurriedly asked where the criminals were going. Qin Luo glanced coldly at the policeman who had pointed a gun at him and said, “My friend led the three guys with knives into the woods before I carried my child with me to escape.”
The calm man stared at Qin Luo for a second before he left a policeman to escort him for treatment. Afterward, he waved his hand and rushed to the woods with more than a dozen people. Angry, the police officer surnamed Liu stamped his foot and clenched his teeth before catching up with the group.
On the other hand, an untraceable smirk graced Qin Luo’s mouth. ‘Gu Qingyang, I didn’t expect to see you here.’
Considering that they were comrades who had gone through life and death situations together in the apocalypse, Qin Luo didn’t feel it was too much for him to deceive the other into wandering the deserted woods alongside his subordinates. It was not dangerous after all.
The policeman who was left with Qin Luo saw that he was not old. Furthermore, he also saw that there was still a little child in his arms, so he asked a few more questions with concern.
Qin Luo did not hide it either and told the truth. However, when he mentioned Qin Ke’s parents, he deliberately used vague wording to gloss over the topic. The policeman was not stupid, so he immediately understood Qin Luo’s meaning. When he looked at the two, his eyes contained a few more feelings than normal, and he ended up paying more care to them while they were on the road.
Qin Luo’s wound was not deep, so the doctor simply spread some medicines on it, wrapped it up, and gave him a vaccination shot. All the while, Qin Ke stayed silent, causing the policeman to feel somewhat worried.
Hence he immediately alerted Qin Luo to avoid any accident happening to this child. Qin Luo himself also did not feel at ease, so he wanted to bring him to the doctor. However, Qin Ke strongly rejected the idea that Qin Luo had no other choice but to hold him close as they followed the policeman back to the police station to make a statement.
Qin Luo’s all-day pass for the amusement park was bought a few days ago. Furthermore, the surveillance footage of the amusement park also showed him playing with Ink and Qin Ke together, which basically ruled out the possibility of his involvement with the robbers.
Besides, Qin Luo came from a prestigious family. Even if the family had declined, it was still not something a small family could compare. However, Officer Liu did not give up and wanted to interrogate Qin Luo himself. It was just that Qin Ke didn’t give anyone face, and as long as Officer Liu dared to approach his little uncle, Qin Ke would definitely cry.
His cry was heart-rending and could be heard from top to bottom several floors away, making it sound like the police station was abusing children.
Officer Liu still did not give up, though, using all kinds of food to cajole Qin Ke. However, Qin Ke did not fall for the bribe. In the end, he was called into the office by phone call. When he came out again, he looked disgruntled and stared at Qin Luo with gritted teeth before saying to let them go.
Qin Luo had long expected this to happen. After all, though the Qin Family had fallen, there were still many people who had received Qin Family’s kindness. Therefore, even if he was taken to the police station, no one dared to touch him unless it was a major case. So, if it was not for a major case, it was not easy for others to move him, this ‘Young Head of Qin Family.’.
Gu Qingyang was as smooth and slick as before. He personally sent Qin Luo to the front door of the police station and told him to be more careful. It was confirmed that the messy footprints left in the forest basically came from three people. Gu Qingyang concluded that Qin Luo’s friend escaped safely because no blood was found. After telling this to Qin Luo, he also asked the other to call and let him know when Qin Luo’s friends had returned home safely. Gu Qingyang then reminded that if he found a suspect, he should not act rashly. Instead, he should call for the police as soon as possible.
Of course, Qin Luo knew that Ink was not kidnapped and was basically alright. Still, he nodded quietly in agreement to Gu Qingyang’s kind words.
Gu Qingyang then arranged for the policemen who accompanied Qin Luo to the hospital to drive Qin Luo and escort them home.
Seeing that the three people who went out returned as only a pair, Aunt Liu was extremely distressed. Moreover, Qin Luo even returned with injuries. However, there was simply no way. So, after Qin Luo had persuaded her for a long time, Qin Luo finally managed to urge her back to her room to have a rest.
Meanwhile, he did not feel assured letting Qin Ke sleep alone at night. Thus, he carried the little guy back to his room to rest there.
He was not too worried about Ink since Ink was someone who was able to call the wind and summon the rain in the apocalypse era. If he easily met a deadly mishap just from the event this afternoon, he would have already died hundreds of times over in the apocalypse. Still, after getting along for so long, Qin Luo’s heart was somewhat uncomfortable seeing that guy leave with that desolate expression and back.
He couldn’t help but scold that fool in his heart. I have guessed his identity for a long time! Anyway, there are no normal people in the Research Institute, so what if this fool had a strange ability? He still deserves to turn around and run away from that accursed place!
In the end, he fell asleep. However, in the middle of the night, it suddenly began to rain, and Qin Luo was awakened by the sound of the thunderstorm. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a large shadow squatting outside the window facing him.
