Chapter 18: A Strange Conversation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Soon, the chief of the Luo City Public Security Bureau, Zhou Guowei, arrived at the Southern Suburbs Police Station.

He was accompanied by the captain of the Southern Suburbs Police Station, Ma Daqiang. The two of them walked along the corridor with solemn expressions on their faces.

From afar, Li Ru, who was at the end of the corridor, saw the two of them and immediately went up to them.

“You must be Chief Zhou. Please help my husband, he…”

Before Li Ru could finish, Chief Zhou immediately raised his hand, “Are You Mr. Zhang’s wife?”

Li Ru saw that he knew her and nodded repeatedly. She thought to herself. It seems that Chief Zhou also knows Zhang Youwei and me.

After all, Zhang Youwei was an outstanding entrepreneur in Luo City, so it was not strange that Chief Zhou knew him. With this, perhaps Chief Zhou could educate his husband and release him.

Who knew that Zhou Guowei’s next sentence would be, “Madam, please help me!”

Hearing this, Li Ru was stunned.

Did you get it wrong? Aren’t you supposed to be helping me?

Before Li Ru could react, Chief Zhou complimented her warmly, “Madam, your husband is really something else!”

“I’ve already heard about your husband, Mr. Zhang Youwei. He’s amazing.”

These words wouldn’t be a problem to hear at any time. However, now that Zhang Youwei had been detained, it sounded like sarcasm.

Li Ru’s expression turned ugly. Her husband, Zhang Youwei, was an entrepreneur worth billions. Even if he made a mistake, there was no need to insult him like this, right?

Be that as it may, she endured it and did not get angry. She had no choice but to lower her ego. Whether Zhang Youwei could be released or not depended on Chief Zhou’s decision.

Although this was only Li Ru’s one-sided guess, she still swallowed her anger and said, “Chief Zhou, don’t joke around. Although my husband accidentally joined a cult, I think he’s also a victim. If possible, can you please educate him and reprimand him a little? Then let him go. Just take it as helping us husband and wife, okay?”

When Li Ru said this, Chief Zhou’s expression became very strange.

Before he came, he had already heard Captain Ma, Ma Daqiang, talk about Zhang Youwei.

With his spiritual energy, he could split a brick with one palm and could even make a dent on iron tools with his body. This was not something an ordinary person could do.

Ma Daqiang also mentioned the word immortal cultivation.

Chief Zhou did not completely believe it. However, he knew that even if it was not immortal cultivation, it was definitely a very powerful martial art or Qigong.

How could this be related to a cult?

He hesitated for a moment and coughed twice, “Madam, a-are you not very familiar with your husband’s, umm, physical condition?”

Chief Zhou meant that Li Ru might not have seen her husband perform that kind of martial art, so she thought that her husband had joined a cult.

When Li Ru heard this, she completely misinterpreted it. She thought that Chief Zhou was talking about his cancer!

“Well, I only just found out about my husband’s health condition, so I immediately came back from abroad. We haven’t told our child about this yet. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to accept it.”

Chief Zhou was stunned again when he heard this.

From Ma Daqiang’s description, Zhang Youwei was definitely a martial artist who had practiced for decades. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such strength.

However, Li Ru said that she only found out about it recently.

Moreover, what was so wrong with him being a martial arts expert or a Qigong master? Why was Li Ru afraid that her child wouldn’t be able to accept it?

Could it be that their family was the kind that advocated culture but looked down on martial arts? If that were the case, everything would make sense.

Thinking of this, Chief Zhou immediately had an idea. If he could persuade Li Ru to understand Zhang Youwei, wouldn’t he be doing Zhang Youwei a huge favor?

At that time, wouldn’t it be easier to persuade Zhang Youwei to be his master and teach him?

That’s right, the reason why Chief Zhou rushed over was to learn from Zhang Youwei!

All of a sudden, the two of them had this misunderstanding, and the whole conversation became stranger and stranger, “Madam, I think Mr. Zhang is doing quite well now. You should understand him more.”

What he meant was, what’s wrong with people who practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies?

“Ah? How is it good?”

What she meant was, how could cancer be considered a good thing?

“Of course it’s good. Most people in the world can’t come into contact with this kind of thing. Even if they can, it’s very, very difficult for them to reach Mr. Zhang’s level.”

What he meant was that your husband is a martial arts master. Isn’t that awesome enough?

“That’s true, but… We can’t just let him continue like this, right? Even if I can accept this, the child might not be able to accept it.”

What she meant was, indeed, not everyone in the world will get cancer. People like Zhang Youwei, who only had a month left to live, were even rarer, but the child might not be able to accept this.

“I feel that as a parent, it is better to communicate with the child more. The child will understand one day. How about this, if you don’t mind, I am willing to do it together with Mr. Zhang. This way, the child might be able to understand it.”

The more Li Ru listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. This Chief Zhou wanted to get cancer just like her husband?

Was it something that could be obtained just by thinking about it?
