Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

The merchant looked at Clorinde angrily and said, "I'm not saying anything, Lady Clorinde, you clearly knew that Zhou Cheng was abusing his position as Captain Zhou to cause trouble for the village, so why couldn't you arrest him yourself? What's the difference between you and an accomplice?"

After hearing the vendor's words, Clorinde was silent for a moment, then replied, "I admit that I turned a blind eye to the matter between Xiao Zhou and his brother, but I also didn't want him to get stuck in this mess. He's a good police officer with a bright future, and I don't want this to ruin him. So I've been waiting, hoping he'll wake up in time."

"It's hard for a judge to settle family disputes." Mo Yan shook his head and then clasped his hands together and said jokingly.

"No wonder, but Lady Clorinde, have you considered the consequences of doing this?" the merchant asked indignantly. "What if Captain Zhou persists in his wrongdoings and then alerts the Evil Lord? How will you handle this?"

After hearing the vendor's remarks, Clorinde did not answer. She was a little panicked because she had never thought about these things, especially the evil spirits. If the adults knew about it, the consequences would probably be even more difficult to deal with.

"Well, please take care of yourself." After saying that, the vendor turned around and left.

Clorinde stood there, and when she recalled what the merchant had just said, she felt a chill in her heart.

"He's gone." Kailin watched the vendor leave, then looked at Mo Yan and asked, "So now... what should we do?"

At this time, Mo Yan looked at Clorinde again. Just as he was about to ask, Clorinde replied, "Follow them first."

"Huh?" Mo Yan was stunned.

At this time, Clorinde explained: "I know what you are thinking. I admit that I still want to look forward to it, even though the possibility is very low."

Mo Yan and Kailin looked at each other and shrugged.

"All right……"

Clorinde looked at the two of them and nodded, then looked at Liu Si who was lying on the side and said, "By the way, take him with you. He broke the rules, and we can't leave him here no matter what."

Under Clorinde's guidance, Mo Yan carried Liu Si on his shoulders, and then followed Clorinde with Kailin and Tianlang.

On the way, Clorinde deliberately kept a distance from the guards ahead and walked very slowly until she returned to the police station entrance...

"Hmm? Wait a minute." Suddenly Clorinde stopped.

Mo Yan, Kailin, and Tianlang then stopped. The police station was about 100 meters away from them, and in front of the police station, a plainclothes man was particularly eye-catching.

The man stopped Zhou Shun who was about to take someone back to the police station. After the two talked for a while, Zhou Shun actually released the thugs. Seeing this scene, Mo Yan and Kailin were so shocked that they stood there.

"What's going on? Why did Captain Zhou let those guys go?" Karin pointed at the man in the distance and asked Clorinde.

Clorinde did not answer. Looking at the scene in the distance, she sighed as if out of habit.

"Is it really like this again..."

Zhou Shun stood there and avoided looking at the man, while the thugs followed him out of the police station in a haughty manner.

At this time, Clorinde stepped forward again, but she did not stop them. Instead, she chose to remain silent as she watched the backs of the people leaving.

Bah!

Suddenly, there was a noise on the street. A postman who came from nowhere accidentally bumped into the group of people, and the mail fell to the ground. The man in the lead once again knocked the postman to the ground with one punch, just like he did at the market.

"You're blind, aren't you? How dare you bump into me? Hit me hard!"

"Wait, Butler Wu, I didn't mean to...Ahhh!"

Plop! Puff! Bang!

The postman screamed heartbreakingly and begged for mercy, but the more he did so, the more vicious the thugs became. Their punches hit him hard, and even Mo Yan could hear the sound of broken ribs from a distance.

"Hey, what are you doing!" At this time, Zhou Shun, who was about to return to the police station, suddenly rushed over. He stood among the crowd and protected the mailman with his body. "Butler Wu, you are too presumptuous! This is the police station, not a place for you to act wildly. You...don't force me!"

Zhou Shun frowned, but his expression was still mixed with embarrassment and unbearableness.

The leading thug looked at Zhou Shun with a look of boredom and said, "Tsk, what a bummer! Young Master, you're as stubborn as ever. Fine, I'll give you this favor. Let's go!"

The man waved his hands, and then the group of people left the police station arrogantly.

Zhou Shun was squatting on the ground. He looked at the mailman Guan Wei next to him and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?"

"Tsk..."

thump!

"Stop being so hypocritical!"

Zhou Shun was pushed to the ground by the postman. The next second, the postman began to scold him with a heavy trembling voice, which was then an angry cry.

"You are a family, how could you care about our lives? You dare to attack us here? Your Zhou family's housekeeper is very arrogant. If you hadn't indulged us again and again, how could things have turned out like this? Don't think that you can be free just by apologizing. If you really feel sorry for us, you should order these guys and your brother to be arrested! Don't just apologize here, Captain Zhou!"

The postman said a lot, and Zhou Shun sat on the ground, his face becoming more embarrassed and more self-blaming.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say, because he knew that no matter what he said would arouse the other party's disgust. However, his hesitant expression had already made the other party disgusted.

"Tsk," the mailman gritted his teeth. "I'm angry, I'm impulsive. But Captain Zhou, to be honest, continuing like this will only hurt you. I know you care about brotherhood, but please think carefully. Your brother has done so many evil things in recent years. It's not worth it for you to ruin your reputation for him!"

"Well, it's up to you to decide." After saying that, the postman staggered away, holding his chest.

Zhou Shun stood there, hesitant. The mailman was right. His brother had completely changed since the incident three years ago. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, he was still single-minded. If he continued like this, not only would he be embarrassed, but no one would benefit.

Do you want to make a decision?

At this time, Clorinde sighed, pretended to have just returned, and walked towards him.

Thumb, thump, thump...

The sound of high heels caught Zhou Shun's attention. He immediately adjusted his attitude and looked back.

"Lady Clorinde! You're back." He suddenly noticed Mo Yan, Kailin, and Tianlang behind Clorinde. The unconscious Liu Si was particularly eye-catching. "And you guys, wait, isn't that Liu Si? Has he committed another crime?"

"Yeah." Clorinde nodded and walked to his side, "Just like usual, the same old thing."

"Why did he faint this time?"

"Nothing, just a little incident." Clorinde folded her arms and said, "Xiao Zhou, is there anything going on over there?"

At this point, Zhou Shun's demeanor changed instantly. He stammered, "Don't...don't worry, Lady Clorinde. He's doing fine here. Don't worry."

"Really..." Clorinde nodded helplessly. "Xiao Zhou, everyone's life will always have ups and downs. What matters is how you make choices. You are a good police officer, so I also hope that you can always make the right decisions and not regret them."
