Chapter 85 – Follow-up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ding Rong’s tears kept falling. She recalled the earlier moment when she was being held hostage by the kidnappers. Huo Tian had agreed to the kidnappers’ request without hesitation and was preparing to bring the ransom over by herself.

Those few minutes were the most despairing moment Ding Rong had ever felt in her life. It almost made her heart ache so much that she was about to die…

At this moment, she couldn’t help but thank the gods and Buddhas from the bottom of her heart, thanking them for letting her daughter escape this calamity.

The police did not disturb the post-disaster reunion between the mother and daughter. They checked every corner of the shop in a well-trained manner and then went to the backyard.

The corpse in the backyard shocked all the police officers, especially after they checked the cause of the kidnapper’s death. They then became even more unsettled.

Regarding this unexpected situation, the police naturally needed to ask the witnesses who were present—Ding Rong and Liu Jun.

Perhaps it was because of his stress reaction, when Liu Jun recalled the moment the kidnapper died, he felt that the scene was still magical. He could not remember the exact details.

“I, I don’t know either. I only remember that they wanted to kill me with a machete. I retreated to a corner and when I closed my eyes and waited for death, I suddenly heard the kidnapper drop the machete. Then, I felt the kidnapper’s blood spray on me. I don’t know what happened…”

When he recalled that impactful scene, Liu Jun’s body trembled and his face turned pale. He couldn’t even speak properly…

“Police… police officer, could it be some kind of supernatural event? Back then, in the small courtyard, other than the kidnappers, there were only me and Auntie Ding. There was no one else at all. How did the kidnapper suddenly die?”

The police draped a blanket over Liu Jun. This gave him a little sense of security.

“There are no ghosts in this world. Don’t let your thoughts run wild. You have to believe in science.”

After the police learned everything from Liu Jun, they placed their attention on Ding Rong.

Compared to Liu Jun, who had fainted from shock midway, Ding Rong knew more details.

However, when Ding Rong described the actual situation, she was a little nervous. She kept glancing at Huo Tian from the corner of her eye.

Huo Tian also noticed Ding Rong’s gaze and nodded at her. “Mom, it’s okay. You can tell the police directly.”

Only then did Ding Rong reveal the entire process without any reservation.

However, the police clearly didn’t believe her. Although compared to the supernatural phenomenon Liu Jun mentioned, the theory that the robotic arm had saved the hostages at the critical moment was more reliable, this wasn’t a movie. How could something like this happen?

With a skeptical attitude, the police checked the robotic arm installed on the wall. They managed to collect blood at the end of the metal limbs connected to the robotic arm.

Although they had to go put the sample through a test to prove that the blood belonged to the kidnapper, the police were able to confirm that Ding Rong hadn’t lied through their observation of the direction of the blood splatter.

That was why the police were even more puzzled…

Since this robotic arm is so smart, why didn’t it save the hostage from the start? Why did it wait until the kidnappers were about to silence them before taking action? How does this make sense?

The police officers were puzzled by this question and came to ask Ding Rong. However, Ding Rong could not answer them. She could only look at Huo Tian questioningly.

Huo Tian explained, “Because the robotic arm was installed to move things. At first, I didn’t install such metal limbs on the robotic arm at all. I only installed hooks. They’re not lethal at all. I switched the hooks to metal limbs through remote control.”

The police officers didn’t understand the technical difficulties involved either. They only nodded half-understandingly. “I see…”

“More importantly, I don’t want to scare my mother.” Huo Tian looked up and her gaze landed gently on Ding Rong. Then, she turned around and explained to the police, “The robotic arm is very smart. After installing the metal limbs, it was equipped with a very strong lethality. If we rely only on them to protect Mom, these kidnappers will very likely be dead. Unless necessary, I don’t want Mom to see a scene like that.”

The police glanced at the kidnapper who had a hole in his neck and imagined a scene in which all the kidnappers in the courtyard could end up like this corpse. To be honest, that scene would definitely be very scary. The police officers also turned pale and shuddered.

A police officer sighed and said, “That’s right, that’s right. If that really happened, even us police officers who came after the event would be mentally unstable, not to mention the hostages who would watch the whole process.”

The police officers learned more about the series of events from Huo Tian. She told them the entire process of how she had found out through the alarm device that Ding Rong was in danger, how she had negotiated with the kidnappers, and how she had rushed over to the scene and fought against the kidnappers..
