Ruby for Jade Pendant.

The confession was finished, and Zhao Guohua had someone take us to a hotel near the police station. He gave us a room and told us to rest and wait for further developments in the case.

Not long after we settled down, Zhao Guohua came personally to tell us that Jietou's identity had been verified. The case should be resolved without much trouble now.

This news put both me and the old man at ease.

I asked again if I could see Jietou, but once again Zhao Guohua refused.

After he left, the old man yawned repeatedly and quickly fell asleep on the bed.

I couldn't sleep, however. I was worried about Jietou so I quietly got up and went out of the room.

I returned to the police station knowing that Jietou must be locked up in one of its rooms.

Using my spiritual energy detection technique, it didn't take long for me to discover something unusual in a room on the third floor where there seemed to be someone inside.

I circled around behind the police station and sent YunQingYue into that room. She found out that indeed Jietou was being held there.

Seeing this situation made me look up at a wall where I noticed a plastic water pipe running along it.

Grabbing onto it with my hands while using my secret cultivation technique called "Ling Tai Mi Shu", I stepped on gaps between bricks inch by inch until finally reaching outside of small window of that little room on third floor.

The window was very small - only about one foot square -and sealed tightly with steel bars as thick as fingers.

I grabbed onto one of those steel bars then knocked gently on window glass: "Who is it?"

Hearing my voice, Jietou approached then opened up his window surprisedly: "YiHeng? What are you doing? This is too dangerous. You should leave now!"

"I'm worried about you. How are you doing?" I asked him.

Although the light was dim, upon closer inspection, Jietou seemed to be in good condition. His expression was fine and his injuries had apparently been treated and alleviated; he was basically stable at this point.

"Don't worry about me. They arranged for a doctor to treat my wounds so I'm mostly okay now," Jietou said to me before urging me again: "This place is too high up - it's troublesome if you fall down. Please go back."

"Jietou, wait a minute. I'll figure out how to get you out of here. These steel bars can be easily removed with a saw." I told him.

"YiHeng, please don't do that!" Hearing what I said, Jietou interrupted: "I won't escape anyway; besides, even if I did escape it wouldn't help anything.

JIETOU's words made me feel helpless. At the moment, I could only nod my head and then grabbed a steel bar with one hand. I reached into my pocket and touched myself before finally pulling out a jade pendant from my close-fitting clothes and handed it to JIETOU.

"JIETOU, you take this. It also has the function of protecting against evil spirits. Didn't you give me Zhu Suo? This is my return gift to you. Wear it, maybe it will bring you good luck," I said to JIETOU.

"Okay, okay, I'll wear it. You go quickly," JIETOU took the jade pendant and put it around his neck in order for me to leave earlier.

Seeing this situation, there was nothing else I could do but climb down along the water pipe and return to the hotel room.

When I got back to the hotel room, I lay down and fell asleep shortly after.

The next morning when I woke up early, there was suddenly a commotion outside. When I opened my eyes, I saw that even my parents had come with Wu Zhenfeng accompanying them.

"Dad, Mom why are you here?" Rubbing my eyes in confusion as if waking up from sleepwalking on bed

"You little bastard! Have your abilities grown big now?!" Unexpectedly before finishing what i wanted say ,my dad slapped me across face .

Being hit by him caused me staggered backwards while seeing stars . Instinctively grabbing his wrist tightly , he screamed in pain when i exerted force on him .

"Little Master--"

Seeing this situation,Wu Zhenfeng panicked shouting while Old Blindman coughed once saying "YiHeng be mindful of your actions."

"He hit me." As soon as Old Blindman reminded us,I immediately understood everything.I let go of Dad's wrist.Then pouting angrily, I glared at Wu Zhenfeng and said, "Did you go to call them?"

"Little Master, this is the rule we follow when handling cases. If someone your age commits a crime, we have to notify their parents first," Wu Zhenfeng laughed dryly.

"YiHeng, what did you do? I heard from Officer Wu that someone died too. Oh my goodness! What's wrong with you?" At this time, my mother walked up to me.

"There's nothing going on. It has nothing to do with you guys." Because of the slap from my dad earlier, I was angry and didn't want to talk much with them.

My mom became angry after hearing what i said ,grabbing a broom she swung it towards me .

This time I dared not fight back but also refused to give in.I stood there motionless while letting her smash the broom into pieces.

Okay, Brother Liu, everyone calm down first. Actually, there's nothing wrong now. At least according to our investigation, this case has nothing to do with Liu YiHeng." Seeing that my parents were getting out of control, Wu Zhenfeng quickly stepped forward to persuade them and emphasized my name when he spoke.

Upon hearing his words, my father immediately reacted and couldn't help but ask him: "Officer Wu, does that mean we can take YiHeng home now?"

"Uh-huh, of course," nodded Wu Zhenfeng.

"Good!" Upon hearing this news, both my father and mother came up to me and each grabbed one of my hands to pull me outside.

"Come on! Come back home with us!" My mother said.

"I'm not going!" I exerted a little force and they couldn't move me anymore.

"The matter with JIETOU is not over yet. I can't leave," I told them.

"YiHeng, Mom is begging you on her knees. Please come back home with us. You used to be such a good child; how did you become like this?" Seeing my situation made my mom so anxious that she started crying.

Seeing the look on her face made me feel soft-hearted too for a moment. I didn't know what else could be done at the time except venting anger towards Wu Zhenfeng instead.

"Wu Zhenfeng! What are you meddling in? Who asked you to bring them here?! What do you mean?!" I glared at him and shouted angrily.

Wu Zhenfeng felt embarrassed for a moment then pulled Lao Xiazi's sleeve aside discreetly.

Lao Xiazi understood his gesture; he coughed slightly then stood up saying: "YiHeng go ahead first. Everything will be fine under Master's guidance regarding JIETOU's matter."

"But..." I was still a little worried after hearing Lao Xiazi's words.

"Okay, there is nothing to worry about. Don't let your parents worry anymore. Hurry up and go back now. Otherwise, Master will be angry," said Lao Xiazi.

Seeing this situation, I had no choice but to follow my parents out of the hotel.

After leaving the hotel, my father and mother escorted me like a prisoner all the way to the train station.

When they saw their behavior towards me at that moment, I couldn't help but say: "Alright, don't pull me anymore. If I really want to run away from you guys, you won't be able to hold onto me."

Hearing this statement made by me caused my father some confusion as he rubbed his wrist while lowering his voice asking my mother: "When did this brat become so strong? Where did he get such strength? He almost broke my wrist just now.
