"Boss," San Zhua said, supporting Yunsu. "We should head to the scene immediately!" It was clear that San Zhua understood the content of the call.
Yunsu turned his head and replied, "Yes, let's go right away."
The two rushed to the Warmth Bath Center and saw police lights flashing from a distance.
A crowd was being held back behind the police line.
"This kind of place often engages in shady business; it's only a matter of time before something happens. Look, the police are already here. Maybe they'll catch a few scantily clad guys later. Hehehe..." Some people whispered, accompanied by lewd laughter.
"It's not that simple. I heard from someone who just came out that there’s been a death; they say a prostitute killed someone." Another wave of murmurs followed, and the crowd's desire to watch the spectacle grew stronger.
Listening to the discussions around him, Yunsu pulled San Zhua through the crowd until they reached the police line.
In reality, there wasn't much to see; only two or three officers were stationed at the entrance to maintain order. Yunsu secretly felt anxious, genuinely worried that he might see A Qi being led out in handcuffs, her long hair covering her face.
"A Qi wouldn't really be that reckless, would she?" San Zhua said with a mournful expression.
At that moment, Yunsu spotted his cousin He Weiran walking out of the bathhouse, engaged in conversation with a tall, serious-looking man.
That man must be He Weiran's superior. Who exactly was this man that A Qi had discovered?
He Weiran also noticed Yunsu and San Zhua standing close to the police line. She frowned and shook her head, signaling for them to leave.
She quickly turned around and re-entered the bathing center.
Yunsu knew that it was not the right time to force her way in. San Zhua kept asking her what they should do next.
The two of them lingered for another ten minutes, yet they did not see any police bringing anyone out. Yunsu thought to herself, if this really was A Qi's doing, should she be relieved or worried?
Yunsu tried calling A Qi, but it was no surprise that the phone was off.
She sent a text message to her cousin, asking if the victim had a mole on the corner of his mouth. A moment later, her cousin called back. Without saying a word, she urged them to return quickly and not to cause any trouble, promising to call once she was done.
Yunsu felt a surge of relief; this meant that the man with the mole on his mouth was definitely inside. A Qi had indeed avenged Le Xue, but where was she now? What was happening at this moment? Was she contemplating ending her life? Or perhaps her old issues had resurfaced due to the stress?
Or maybe she was hiding away somewhere, drifting from place to place... Yunsu imagined countless possible outcomes for A Qi in her mind.
Though she was reluctant, Yunsu recognized that her cousin's words were meant for their own good. So she took San Zhua by the hand and left the scene of the bathing center, hailing a taxi by the roadside.
"Xue, where are you right now?" Yunsu dialed Lin Xue's number in the car.
"I'm at school, but what's going on? Boss, your voice sounds off," Lin Xue noticed something was wrong with Yunsu's tone.
"Is your mom home?"
"What's going on? Where are you?"
"Call your mom and tell her we're about to drop by your house. It's getting late, and the lady at the school gate will surely scold us. We're very close to your place now, so we're heading over. Please let your mom know quickly. Thanks, we're on our way, hurry up and call her, bye." Yunsu hurriedly hung up the phone and instructed the taxi driver to head to Lin Xue's house.
Once they got out of the car, they made their way directly to a high-end apartment building.
Yunsu pressed the doorbell for apartment 1007, but it rang for a long time without anyone answering.
"Have you arrived?" Lin Xue called.
"Yes, but no one is opening the door. Is your mom not home?"
"I can't get through on my phone either. What could be going on?"
While talking on the phone, Yunsu ran to a spot where he could see Lin Xue's windows.
The balcony door was tightly shut, the living room lights were on, and the bedroom curtains were drawn; it seemed like someone should be home.
"Boss!" San Zhua shouted to Yunsu, as a woman had just entered the building. San Zhua urged Yunsu to come over quickly.
