Chapter 100 - Water Bottle

The internet exploded after the video was uploaded. Zhu Min was tearing Huo Ling's clothes while Huo Ling resisted. The video was secretly taken. Nasty comments about Zhu Mei can be seen, and the people who took pity on her before are now raging in anger.

They saw that when Zhu Min failed to kiss Huo Ling, she took out a pill and made Huo Ling drink it. However, after a few hours and Huo Ling still wasn't reacting. She walked out in anger and took her phone while Huo Ling was left on the bed, heavily panting because of the drug and he took out a water bottle to drink. The video ended there.

Yi Bing's phone cracked and he immediately went back to Huo Ling and Mo Shi. Fortunately, Mo Shi hasn't opened his phone yet since they are having fun. Huo Ling… he thought and balled his fists. He didn't expect for Zhu Min to do it to Huo Ling.

He took a deep breath to calm himself before he walked towards Huo Ling and forced a smile. He's glad Huo Ling died, since the world can no longer hurt him again.

S City Police Station.

"Ah Min… why?" Rong Zhe tearfully asked after he watched the video. "WHY?!" he asked as he threw his phone in anger. His phone hit the wall and was smashed to pieces. He can't accept his girlfriend would choose an impotent man than him.

Gu Xingfeng coldly looked at the wailing Rong Zhe before he turned to the shaken Hao Baiyun. He held his hand in comfort before he dialed Xiao Xie's number. "Arrest Zhu Min when she wakes up. For now, have the place she's in under our monitor. She can't escape." He said.

"Yes, chief!" Xiao Xie answered before he called Song Mingfan. "Let's go!" he told him.

Song Mingfan nodded. He also has seen the video newly posted in the internet.

Gu Xingfeng then called Zhang Bao. "Bring Jack and his friends here." He said.

"Yes!" Zhang Bao answered and took the handcuffed Jack and his friends to the interrogation room.

When Jack arrived, he coldly smiled at Rong Zhe who looked devastated. "How was it?" he said in perfect Chinese. "Not only your girl was raped like what you did to my sister, but she actually also raped an impotent man? Hahaha." He laughed.

"YOU FCKER!" Rong Zhe screamed and was about to punch Jack but Jack expertly evaded and kicked Rong Zhe to the wall. His shoe behind Rong Zhe's head.

"Yes. I am a fcker, and so are you." Jack told Rong Zhe while Gu Xingfeng and the others were just watching them. This is a problem between the two.

"You bastard…!" Rong Zhe gritted his teeth and his nose bled after it hit the wall.

Jack just coldly laughed as he let go of Rong Zhe. Zhang Bao immediately handcuffed them. "We're already on the death row. We'll be dragging a scourge like you with us." He told Rong Zhe before he turned to Gu Xingfeng. "We've seen that video in her phone and sent it and the other videos of her fcking twenty or more men to a hacker. We can't tell you his name, but I can't just let the poor guy be unjustly wronged. I have to expose that slut's crime." He confessed. He's referring to Huo Ling whom Zhu Min raped.

Gu Xingfeng nodded. "I understand." He said and turned to Zhang Bao. "Bring them back." He told him.

"Yes!" Zhang Bao said and brought Rong Zhe, Jack and his friends back to their respective cells.

After they left, Gu Xingfeng turned to Xu Ke who was left with them. "There's no need to guess who let her in to rape Huo Ling, right?" he said as he looked at him.

Xu Ke's eyes widened. "I didn't - !" he said.

"Better confess now or your crime will become bigger for denial after we'll hear Zhu Min confess you're her accomplice." Gu Xingfeng told Xu Ke.

Xu Ke's face paled in horror as he looked at Gu Xingfeng. "You…" he gritted his teeth.

"Yes or no?" Gu Xingfeng asked.

"… yes." Xu Ke answered through his gritted teeth.

"You knew she has evil intentions towards Huo Ling, so you helped her." Gu Xingfeng said. "Xiao Jiang." He called when Jiang Xinduo returned after he sent Su Lin to his cell. "Take this bastard away. My eyes sore looking at a hypocrite." He said and coldly looked at Xu Ke whom Jiang Xinduo handcuffed.

"Gu Xingfeng…" Hao Baiyun called when the two of them were the only ones left.

"It's shameful for a man to be raped by a woman." Gu Xingfeng said.

Hao Baiyun sighed in pity. "I pity him." He said. He's referring to Huo Ling.

"Yes." Gu Xingfeng said as he watched the video. "This is the night before he died." He said and looked at the date recorded. "We found the poison in the water bottle. So he unknowingly took a slow-effecting poison and then died the morning after." He explained. "The question is, who gave him the water bottle which was placed with poison?" he asked.

"Are there no fingerprints?" Hao Baiyun asked.

Gu Xingfeng shook his head. "Only Huo Ling's fingerprints were found." He answered.

"Could it be from the supplier?" Hao Baiyun asked.

"I've already sent my subordinates to contact the supplier, and they're a clean company. Who would jeopardize their company by poisoning a one in a million person?" Gu Xingfeng said. He meant, the water bottle was placed with poison after it was bought and then gave it to Huo Ling.

"Huo Ling is popular. Anyone can approach him with a smile while actually hiding a knife." Hao Baiyun said.

Gu Xingfeng nodded in agreement. "The primary suspects' parents will arrive tomorrow. Just in time for their mind to stabilize." He said.

Hao Baiyun nodded. "It's already lunch time. Let's go. I'll treat you." He told him.

"Ok." Gu Xingfeng smiled as he followed Hao Baiyun outside.

S City General Hospital.

"Waaaah! Chief madam is really nice. He gives us food!" Xiao Xie exclaimed as they ate their lunch delivered to them by a famous restaurant. "Oh. The others also posted their lunch on Weibo. Let me post, too!" he said and took a snap of his food.

"Don't call him that again or you won't taste these good foods." Song Mingfan told him.

"Yes~" Xiao Xie answered before he turned to look inside Zhu Min's room and saw her mother and younger brother were crying beside her bed. "I really pitied her earlier. But what she had done…" he clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Song Mingfan looked at the internet. Some people who recognized Huo Ling had informed the people that Huo Ling died yesterday. Some people assumed Huo Ling committed a suicide after he was raped and their anger towards Zhu Min increased. "It is more traumatic to men since their ego is bigger than women." He said.

Xiao Xie nodded in agreement and looked at their fellow officers who were dressed as civilians in case someone come and harm Zhu Min. "She got her retribution." He said. He's referring to Zhu Min also being raped and drugged.

"If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear." Song Mingfan said.

Xiao Xie nodded. "Yes." he said. Then, they resumed eating their lunch.

S City Waterpark.

"What?!" Mo Shi exclaimed and immediately covered his mouth in fear Huo Ling will hear them. "She did – " he said and immediately checked on the internet. His face immediately twisted in anger and he turned off his phone when he saw the video. "Damn her!" he gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Calm down." Yi Bing told Mo Shi, though he himself is emitting cold air. "It looks like Huo Ling himself forgot it." He said.

"Oh, right." Mo Shi said when he remembered. "The soul suffered a shock after he was traumatized of his death thus he forgets the cause of his death." He said.

Yi Bing nodded. "Yeah." He said and looked at Huo Ling. "For now, don't let anything trigger him." He told Mo Shi.

"Yes, senior!" Mo Shi said and saluted.

"What are you saluting for?" Huo Ling asked as he drifted towards them.

Yi Bing looked at him. "Are you done with the shooting range? How much did you score?" he asked.

Huo Ling's shoulder fell. "0." He answered. "I'm not good at games." He said and sighed.

Mo Shi looked at him with his eyes filled with pity. He heard Huo Ling is a perfect person in this life. Turns out there's something he doesn't perform well at. "You'll be fine. There's still a room for practice." He told him.

"Here." Yi Bing said as he took out something. "Your prize." He said and gave him a flaming ball made of ice. There's a trace of orange on the ball, thus it looked like it's alive.

Huo Ling's eyes became round and he carefully received it. "It's beautiful." He muttered under his breath. Surprisingly, it only felt cool to the touch and not bitingly cold. "Thank you!" he told Yi Bing.

Yi Bing nodded before he snapped his fingers and the ball in Huo Ling's hand turned small. Then, Yi Bing pulled the red string that ties his hair and made the ball a pendant, before he wore the necklace around Huo Ling's neck. "For you." He whispered.
