“No, no…”
Yao Ye was terrified, his pants wet, the stench of urine forcing Chen Bing to retreat repeatedly.
“Shui Ge, this guy wet his pants, he wet his pants!”
Chen Bing shouted loudly, his expression one of shock, as if he had just seen an alien.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, Chen Bing even took out his phone and started recording the scene!
Shui Miao was taken aback. Turning his head, he saw that Yao Ye had indeed wet his pants. A chill ran through him—he realized they might have gone too far this time.
Yao Ye began to tremble. He was scared—absolutely terrified.
He had never been beaten like this in his entire life. Now, bruised and broken, his already fragile confidence was utterly destroyed by Shui Miao.
But people like him rarely learn. When in pain, they beg desperately for mercy. Once healed, they forget everything and become arrogant again.
Just like how Shui Miao had helped his family, yet he showed no gratitude, instead scheming against Shui Miao.
Suddenly, a ringtone broke the tension. Chu Miaoyi was calling.
“No, no…”
Yao Ye was terrified, his pants soaked through, the pungent smell of urine forcing Chen Bing to step back repeatedly.
“Brother Shui, this guy pissed his pants! He pissed his pants!”
Chen Bing shrieked loudly, his expression as if he’d just seen an alien.
Then, to everyone’s surprise, Chen Bing pulled out his phone and started recording the scene!
Shui Miao was taken aback. He turned around and saw that Yao Ye had indeed wet himself. A sense of dread washed over him—this had gone too far.
Yao Ye trembled uncontrollably, consumed by sheer terror.
He had never been beaten so badly in his entire life. Now, covered in wounds with a broken hand, his already fragile confidence was completely shattered by Shui Miao.
But people like him never learn. In moments of pain, they beg for mercy desperately, only to forget and become arrogant again once they recover.
It was just like how Shui Miao had helped his family, yet instead of feeling grateful, Yao Ye had schemed against him.
A ringtone cut through the tension—Chu Miaoyi was calling.
Shui Miao answered the phone and heard a long-unfamiliar yet familiar voice: “Hey, Yao Ye, what do you mean by this?”
“Sister Miaoyi, it’s Shui Miao…”
Shui Miao responded instinctively but quickly caught himself. He had traveled back in time—Chu Miaoyi didn’t know him yet. He quickly corrected himself, “Oh, it’s like this—I want to report a crime. Someone named Yao Ye is impersonating a police officer. The evidence I just sent you proves his crimes. Please send someone to the West Swan Lake Cemetery immediately. Also, if Sister Lin Xue is available, ask her to come too. I’ll treat you both to a meal.”
“Shui Miao… do I know you?”
Chu Miaoyi was utterly confused. She had never heard that name before, yet the tone sounded strangely familiar.
“It’s a long story. I’ll explain when we meet.”
Shui Miao hung up and tossed the phone back to Yao Ye.
Tearfully, Yao Ye begged, “Brother Shui Miao, I was wrong. I’ll never dare to do it again. Please let me go. What happened today was my own fault. I won’t say you beat me up—I’ll say I fell and hurt myself…” Yao Ye’s words were utterly spineless, a disgrace to the police uniform he wore.
“…”
Shui Miao’s mind raced. He realized that his momentary impulsiveness had caused serious trouble. He might even end up in detention for a while. He needed to find a way to keep Yao Ye under control.
Just then, Yao Kang peeked out from the gate hundreds of meters away. He had just finished calling the TV station and was sneaking a glance to check on his son. The moment he saw his precious son lying on the ground, he panicked and sprinted toward them.
Seeing Yao Kang rushing over, Shui Miao had a sudden idea. He quickly approached Yao Ye, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled something out of his pocket, forcing it into Yao Ye’s mouth.
Yao Ye was stunned and accidentally swallowed it.
A strange, unpleasant taste lingered in his mouth…
Yao Ye was completely bewildered. “What did you make me eat?”
“Hmph!”
Shui Miao grinned coldly. “My profession is quite unusual. I can both dispel and cast gu curses. What I just gave you was an egg of the Miaojiang brain-eating larva. If you dare to double-cross me or scheme against me again, I won’t give you the antidote. The corpse worms will devour your brain, and you’ll die a gruesome death. But if you obey me and behave, I’ll give you the antidote within ten days and spare your miserable life.”
“Master, I promise to obey! I promise!”
Trembling with fear, Yao Ye was so terrified he almost forgot the pain of his broken arm.
Shui Miao smirked sinisterly, patted Yao Ye’s shoulder, and walked back to the car, leaning against it with Chen Bing.
“Brother Shui, what did you make him eat?”
Chen Bing hadn’t seen clearly because Shui Miao acted too quickly.
But he knew Shui Miao definitely didn’t have any “Miaojiang brain-eating larva eggs.”
Shui Miao sniffed his fingers, lowered his voice, and whispered into Chen Bing’s ear, “It was just some leftover fried soybeans I had—probably moldy and black by now…”
“Oh, gross!”
Chen Bing grimaced, looking utterly disgusted.
“My son!”
“My son!!”
Yao Kang, seeing Yao Ye covered in blood, rushed over howling.
Yao Ye quickly raised his uninjured hand, blood and saliva spraying as he slurred, “Don’t touch me! I fell and broke my arm. This has nothing to do with the master. It was my own carelessness. Call an ambulance—I need to go to the hospital!”
“Uh…”
Yao Kang hurriedly took out his phone and dialed 120.
After the call, Shui Miao stepped forward. “Uncle Yao, your precious son said you don’t need my help anymore. Since you can handle it yourselves, we’ll take our leave now.”
“Shui Miao, what really happened to my son’s injuries?”
Yao Kang was furious. For the sake of his son, he was truly enraged.
How could a simple fall cause someone to bleed from all seven orifices?
How could a fall make someone piss their pants?
Before Shui Miao could respond, Yao Ye grabbed his father’s arm and shouted, “I told you, I fell! Don’t you dare frame the master!” Suddenly, Yao Ye burst into tears, crying uncontrollably.
Yao Kang was stunned!
Even a fool could tell his son had been beaten.
But the fact that Yao Ye still refused to admit it, even in this state, showed he was under extreme duress.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Yao Kang swallowed hard and silently helped his son away without another word.
It was rare to see a police officer beaten so badly.
Chen Bing was ecstatic. He had smashed a police officer’s hand with a hammer and gotten away unscathed.
“Brother Shui, following you guarantees immortality!”
“Shut up! You went too far. If you pull something like this again, I won’t bring you along. If I hadn’t stopped you, would you have smashed his skull?”
“Brother Shui, I… I just lost control in the heat of the moment!”
“Get lost! I was the one holding him down. What were you so worked up about? Get in the car and don’t come out until I say so.”
“Okay…”
Shui Miao shook his head in frustration. Just as he was about to get into the car, he noticed the large black cat from earlier approaching the charred centipede. It sniffed the centipede, then picked it up in its mouth and carried it away…
“Huh?”
Shui Miao was puzzled. What was the black cat planning? Could it actually eat the venomous centipede?
The black cat carried the charred centipede into a nearby patch of grass, tilted its head, and began eating it…
Maybe it really could eat it?
Shui Miao watched curiously. Suddenly, the black cat collapsed to the ground, convulsing violently. Foam sprayed from its mouth, and after struggling for a moment, it died.
“It actually committed suicide!”
Shui Miao rushed over to where the black cat lay, staring blankly at its lifeless body. A thought crossed his mind: I must find that old Huang, avenge Big Black and Little Black, and make sure he faces the consequences he deserves.
“Miaoyi Jie, it’s me, Shui Miao…”
Instinctively, Shui responded, but then he remembered—he had reverted back to his past self, and Chu Miaoyi no longer knew him. He quickly corrected himself: “Oh, right. I’m about to call the police. A man named Yao Ye impersonated an officer. The evidence I just sent you is his crime footage. Please send someone to the Swan Lake Cemetery in the western part of the city. Oh, and if Lin Xue Jie is there, ask her to come too—I’ll treat you all to dinner.”
“Shui Miao, do I even know you?”
Chu Miaoyi was confused. She had never heard this name before, yet the tone sounded oddly familiar.
“It’s a long story. Let’s talk in person.”
Shui Miao hung up and tossed the phone back to Yao Ye.
Yao Ye sobbed, begging: “Brother Shui, I was wrong. I’ll never dare again. Please let me go. I brought this on myself. I won’t say you beat me—I’ll say I fell down on my own…” Truly unworthy of the uniform he wore, Yao Ye uttered these pitiful words.
“…”
Shui Miao’s mind raced. He had acted on impulse and caused a huge mess. Trouble was inevitable—maybe even a stint in detention. He needed a way to keep Yao Ye under control.
At that moment, hundreds of meters away at the main gate, Yao Kang peeked out… He had just finished calling the TV station, sneaking around, checking on his son’s situation. When he saw his beloved son lying on the ground, he was startled and immediately sprinted toward him.
Seeing Yao Kang rushing over, Shui Miao acted quickly. He strode up to Yao Ye, grabbed his collar, and pulled something from his pocket, tossing it into Yao Ye’s mouth…
Yao Ye was stunned, but swallowed the object immediately.
A strange, unpleasant taste lingered in his mouth…
Confused, Yao Ye asked, “What did you give me?”
“Hmph!”
Shui Miao smirked coldly, “My profession is unique. I can expel poisons, but also deploy them. What I just gave you were eggs of the Miaojiang brain-eating larvae. If you ever betray me again or scheme against me, I won’t give you the antidote. The corpse worms will devour your brain, and you’ll die a disgustingly painful death. But if you obey me and behave, I’ll give you the antidote within ten days and spare your miserable life.”
“Master, I swear I’ll obey, I swear!”
Yao Ye was terrified, his fear momentarily eclipsing the pain of his broken arm.
Shui Miao gave a sinister chuckle, patted Yao Ye’s shoulder, and walked toward the car, where Chen Bing stood leaning against it.
“Shui Ge, what the hell did you feed him!?”
Chen Bing hadn’t seen clearly because Shui Miao moved too fast.
But he knew Shui Miao definitely didn’t have any Miaojiang brain-eating larvae eggs.
Shui Miao sniffed his fingers, leaned close to Chen Bing, and whispered, “Some leftover fried soybeans I don’t remember when I ate—looks like they’ve already turned moldy and black…”
“What the hell!”
Chen Bing was stunned, his face twisting in disgust.
“My son!”
“My dear son!!!”
Yao Kang, seeing Yao Ye’s bloodied face, suddenly cried out and charged forward.
Yao Ye quickly raised one hand, his mouth letting air escape as he spat blood: “Don’t touch me! I fell and broke my arm. This has nothing to do with Master. It was just my own carelessness. Hurry and call 120—I need to go to the hospital!”
“Uh…”
Yao Kang quickly took out his phone to dial 120.
After making the call, Shui Miao stepped forward, “Uncle Yao, your precious son said he doesn’t need my help anymore. You can handle the rest yourselves. If that’s the case, we’ll be taking our leave now.”
“Shui Miao, exactly what happened to my son?”
Yao Kang was furious, genuinely enraged for his beloved son’s sake.
Can someone fall and end up bleeding from all seven orifices?
Can someone fall and wet themselves like that?
Before Shui Miao could speak, Yao Ye grabbed his arm and shouted, “I said it was my own fall! You bastard better not frame Master!” Suddenly, Yao Ye burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably…
Yao Kang froze!
Even he, despite his ignorance, could see his son had clearly been beaten.
But his son’s refusal to admit it under these circumstances meant he must have been under extreme duress.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Yao Kang swallowed hard and silently helped his son away.
It was rare indeed for a police officer to be beaten so severely.
Chen Bing was elated. He had smashed a police officer’s arm with an iron hammer and somehow remained unscathed.
“Shui Ge, following you is truly living forever!”
“Cut it out. You’re too brutal. If you do this again, I won’t dare bring you along anymore. If I don’t say stop, were you planning to crush his head?”
“Shui Ge, I was just caught up in the moment!”
“Get lost! I was holding him down for you to hit, and you call that impulse? Get in the car now! Don’t come out until I say so!”
“Okay…”
Shui Miao sighed in frustration. Just as he was about to get into the car, he suddenly saw the large black cat from earlier approach the charred centipede. It sniffed, then picked the centipede up in its mouth…
“Hmm?”
Shui Miao was puzzled—what was the black cat doing? Could it actually eat such a venomous centipede?
The large black cat carried the charred centipede to the side into some bushes and immediately started eating it, tilting its head sideways…
Could it really be edible?
Shui Miao was perplexed, watching closely, when suddenly the black cat collapsed to the ground. Its body convulsed violently, foaming at the mouth, struggling for about ten seconds before dying.
“It actually committed suicide!”
Shui Miao rushed to a short distance from the black cat, staring at its corpse, and suddenly thought to himself: I must find that old Huang and avenge Dahei and Xiaohei, making him pay the price he deserves.
