My Best Bro Got Bullied by Another Bad Woman Again - Chapter 44

Ziye Zheng: “Brother Heilin, what are you doing here? This is a construction site.”

Sun Du: “Brother Lianfeng, we’ve come here to ask you some questions about your daughter.”

“My daughter?” Ziye Zheng’s expression tightened. “What happened to her this time?”

“That’s hard to say. Before that, Brother Lianfeng, you have to tell me, was her problem really solved back then?”

“This… well, actually, no. I just thought she could live like a normal person now, but it seems… sorry, she still is…”

“Brother Lianfeng, you have to apologize to her.” Sun Du pointed at Liu Nuanyu. “She is the victim.”

“Excuse me, young lady!”

Ziye Zheng bent down slightly towards Liu Nuanyu, but Liu Nuanyu quickly stopped him.

“No, it’s not your fault. Besides, I’m perfectly fine.”

Liu Nuanyu couldn’t forgive Ziye Yuan’ai for what she had done, but she also couldn’t be angry or blame a father. She had heard from Sun Du that Ziye Yuan’ai was sent to Wutong Academy, which in a sense was to supervise her. However, everyone was deceived by Ziye Yuan’ai’s appearance and behavior, forgetting her obsessive thoughts, and those who knew the truth were no longer so wary of her.

“Compared to my matter, Mr. Ziye, could you tell me more about it? About your daughter…”

“Okay, okay, this definitely needs to be clarified…”

As Ziye Zheng spoke, his expression grew increasingly serious and sorrowful.

“My daughter… From a young age, due to health reasons and the fact that her position in the family changed frequently because of her parents, she had very few true friends. In addition, as her father, I was busy and neglected to communicate with her, which made her increasingly withdrawn and insecure. This resulted in her being unable to become friends with even good people later on.”

At this point, Masashi Murasaki’s expression grew even more sorrowful:

“My daughter’s personality became increasingly obsessive after that incident, it’s just… the strangers she met. I think that’s the main reason why the two of you came to me?”

Sun Du: “That’s just one of the reasons. It’s also my duty to help Ziye Yuanai resolve her inner obsession, whether as a teacher or a ‘comrade-in-arms’ of her father.”

“So you’re a teacher… That’s impressive. And thank you.”

Ziye Zheng smiled slightly, and then continued:

“I don’t know exactly what my daughter went through, but I’m certain that those people didn’t succeed. When I called the police, they still hadn’t been able to take my daughter away. Later hospital examinations showed she wasn’t severely affected, but… her inner world was more…”

“I know that, but she was actually affected to some extent, though not much, it’s just… she herself is still…”

“Yes, yes, I know, but I…I…I investigated for a while and…got a little bit of information, but…I’m not sure if it will be useful…and I don’t have the ability to avenge my daughter.”

“But things are different now.” Sun Du patted Zi Yezheng on the shoulder. “Just like before, trust your brother, I’ll help you solve this!”

“Thanks, bro.”

As Ziye Zheng spoke, he showed the photos on his phone to Sun Du, saying:

“I don’t know why those people found my daughter. But I think it might be related to the fact that she is a magical girl. I remember… the day my daughter was found to have the talent to become a magical girl, so anyone who knows that my daughter is a magical girl is very suspicious.”

What Ziye Zheng showed Sun Du was the location of the magical girl testing point, the Jiangzhou City Central Health Station, and… several staff members.

Ziye Zheng: “I’m not sure if these staff members are just employees, or if their superiors are colluding with those who hurt my daughter, but… this is all I can find out. I only know from my daughter’s phone that she seemed to have received a call, and the caller’s location was the Jiangzhou City Central Health Station. Perhaps someone else has been using the phone. Brother, what do you think…”

“That’s enough.” Sun Du nodded. “Now, let’s wait for our good news, brother.”

“good!”

…

Because of work, Ziye Zheng left, but made an appointment with Sun Du to get together again when they had time.

At this moment, Liu Nuanyu finally had the opportunity to question Governor Sun:

“Mr. Sun, um… could you tell me… what exactly did you do for that Mr. Ziye?”

“Hmm… You really need to know about this. It happened three years ago…”

One night three years ago… Sun Du and Lu Xiaoxiao logged onto “The Revelation” as usual…

Black Phosphorus (Superintendent Sun): “Hey guys, anyone interested in participating in the event? Want to join?”

Su Wanglianfeng (Zi Yezheng): “You guys logged on a bit late, the others are doing a dungeon.”

Black Phosphorus (Sun Du): “Oh, shall we go then? How about it?”

Su Wanglianfeng (Zi Yezheng): “No, I have to log off, something’s come up.”

Black Phosphorus (Supervisor Sun): “What’s up? Tell me.”

Su Wanglianfeng (Ziye Zheng): “Alas, it’s about my daughter.”

“Oh? You have a daughter? You’re married?”

“What are you talking about? I’m forty-two years old this year, why can’t I have a daughter? She’s already in high school.”

“Ha, I always called you an old man, turns out you really are this old… So what’s up? Maybe we brothers can help you?”

So, Ziye Zheng told Sun Du about his daughter’s situation, as well as Lu Xiaoxiao, who had just finished an event. However, he did not mention his daughter’s encounter with those strange people, because that was not something ordinary people should know. He only said that his daughter was almost harmed by strangers, which made her increasingly withdrawn.

Black Phosphorus (Sun Du): “So that’s how it is. Parents’ hearts are always full of love and worry. So now, even you, her father, can’t really talk to her?”

Su Wanglianfeng (Ziye Zheng): “Yes, but I still have to try. I can’t let her continue like this…”

Shan Youxi (Lu Xiaoxiao): “I don’t think this is right, it’s too forceful. We should address the root cause. Does she have any hobbies?”

Ziye Zheng: “Um… ever since then, she has been immersed in the online world, and she doesn’t speak or interact with anyone at all. Perhaps this way, at least those virtual beings can give her a little warmth.”

Lu Xiaoxiao: “I see… Then perhaps we can give her a fake hero.”

“A fake hero?”

Ziye Zheng was somewhat puzzled, but Sun Du said:

“You mean…let someone online bring her joy and hope?”

Lu Xiaoxiao: “Yes.”

Ziye Zheng: “But…where will a hero come from? And how can she trust a stranger?”

“As for heroes, it’s simple, just find reliable people, like the three of us.” Sun Du had already given the answer before Lu Xiaoxiao even had to say it. “As for how to trust a stranger, it’s even simpler, just make her sure that this stranger won’t hurt her.”

After saying this, Governor Sun smiled slightly.

“Watch me!”
