Two days later.
Xiao Yu received a call from his wife.
He had thought she was calling to take credit.
But when he answered, what he heard was Liu Shan's deeply dejected voice.
"Xiao Yu... something happened. Something really troublesome..."
"Don't panic. Tell me what happened. And that tone... did someone bully you?"
Liu Shan gave a few bitter chuckles, her voice growing a little steadier.
"When your disciples and I got there, we found that dozens of human traffickers were already dead."
"Someone had slaughtered them all. There was blood everywhere. It was terrifying."
"My legs nearly gave out in fright when I saw it."
"And then, the police arrived right after we did."
"Because of some misunderstandings, we chose to run."
"Now we're wanted fugitives!"
"We've hidden ourselves, but we can't get back! We need you to come pick us up!"
Xiao Yu sighed inwardly.
What was going on?
How could they have run away?
Silly girl, you're a police officer yourself.
You could have explained everything, but now that you've run...
How are you ever going to clear your names?
"All right, all right. I'll come get you right away. What about the abducted children?"
"That princess arrived before we did. She simply paid to buy them all back. More than a hundred children! She's so rich! I'm sorry, Xiao Yu. I didn't help at all. I just held everyone back and caused trouble."
"Don't say silly things like that."
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Aside from harassing him all day, that foreign woman had finally done something good.
She had proved somewhat useful.
As for Liu Shan...
They were cultivators, after all. If it was only the local police, Xiao Yu wasn't too worried.
He had visited Japan before and opened a portal there.
