Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

He looked at his mobile phone and wondered if he should make the call. Although he spoke in a very carefree manner, his head could be cut off, and he could bleed, but the phone call definitely could not be made. But if it was really critically urgent, he could put all those thoughts aside.

Major Jack… Mu Yuan took a deep breath and felt a depressing compression in his chest. He ate the entire burger without appreciating it properly. Ye Chu ate her noodles as if nothing was wrong. “When can we leave?”

The young lady’s eyes were pure, clear, and innocent. She looked like she was ignorant of the darkness and evil of the world. Mu Yuan explained the problem with not having a passport to her. They could have treated him as a bad guy, or they might be sent to the immigration center. This was supposed to be an easy thing, but who knew? Someone had bribed the police officer, and they actually found the weapons in his car during a search.

Mu Yuan looked f*cking devastated. He did not only have one gun in his car, but he also had enough ammunition. As they had a lot of baggage, he put the weapons at places that were less obvious to be seen. When they reached the checkpoint, he had thrown the weapons to the backseat and covered them up with his clothes.

This was not a matter that could be settled just by being sent to the immigration center. His weapons were not filled with bullets. When they returned, he was already being regarded as a felon.

“…” Mu Yuan was speechless.

His luck had always been not bad. Although he never struck the lottery, he would still get some numbers right. No matter what he did, he had some good luck. He had never experienced something that was so much against his odds. Ye Chu ate her noodles and finished the entire bowl of soup that she picked up. A few police officers entered and threw the weapons on the table. “Whose guns are these?”

Mu Yuan did not speak up. He was just thinking about how to make up a lie while Ye Chu pointed at him. “His.”

Mu Yuan thought for a bit. He had finally experienced something that was so much against his odds… Ye Chu must have really bad luck and burdened him. In fact, if Ye Chu did not say that it belonged to Mu Yuan, there was no way that Mu Yuan could explain that the guns belonged to someone else as his fingerprints were all over it. No matter how much he lied, there was no way he could hide it. He might as well be honest.

Then came a series of questions. Why did you bring the gun? Where did you get it from? This was an equipped weapon from Europe and America, and it was of a top-notch standard. Is there someone’s life in your hands? etc… 

Mu Yuan knew about interrogations, and he did not speak up. So the officers changed their target onto Ye Chu.

“The gun is ours. Someone’s life? No. We did not kill anyone.”

“Where did we buy it? I have no idea either. He always has it around him?”

“He did not bully me. No, don’t mistake him. He did not bully me.”

“Really, we didn’t kill.”

“Where is this from? Is this a very big deal? Everyone I see has a gun with them.”

“…” Mu Yuan was speechless.

The officers stared in silence.

This young lady’s tone was innocent, and her eyes seemed clear. Suddenly, they behaved as if she was speaking very logically. But no matter how they asked, they could not get much information out of it. Mu Yuan was almost laughing to death.

Although he laughed, he understood the severity of the matter. If this was not handled properly, he could be imprisoned here. He could not lose his dignity like that. He looked at his mobile phone, and he felt as if there was a prick in his heart. It hurt a little, like he was missing someone a little. It was deep in his bones, and it felt like those feelings could charge at him and drown his entire world if he let them flow freely. He was like a drug addict. He took a deep breath and picked up the phone a little nervously.

Call… or not?

Will he come?

He has always satisfied all of my needs, but after going through that incident… will he still care for me? Mu Yuan threw the phone on the table suddenly and shut his eyes.. Mu Yuan, oh, Mu Yuan. Why are you so shameless? You killed his younger brother and still hope that people will protect you along the way without any evil intentions… Who gave you the confidence? Who gave you the ‘face’?
