Welcome to the Misogyny Game

"Mmm." A silent yet warm atmosphere enveloped the two of them.

A few minutes later, Liu Chaoque lowered his hand.

"Is such a short time enough?" Mu Li turned her head, puzzled. "I don't often show kindness, you know."

"Ah."

Mu Li hugged her back: "Really, seeing your pitiful look, I thought I had bullied you."

"What's wrong... why are you crying..."

Liu Chaoque's tears felt like tiny needles pricking his body. He patted Liu Chaoque's back gently, cursing, "Who bullied you like this? Tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson."

"Mu Li, do you think fate can be changed?" Liu Chaoque said sullenly.

“Of course you can.” Mu Li said decisively, “If fate cannot be changed, then why is there such a thing as defying fate? The lazy man knew that his laziness would make his future life difficult, so he decided to work hard. The child received a fortune telling from the Taoist priest and knew that he would have wealth and honor in the future. If he were to rest on his laurels, then what awaits him is only poverty and destitution.”

"If you can't see through fate, and you don't know if what you're doing is the mission that fate has given you, then close your eyes and ask yourself, do you want to do this? Do you want to do this? If you don't do it, will you be content? Will you regret it? Then open your eyes, and what you do next is what you want to do."

Mu Li smiled and said, "And you can also do some unconventional things, do things that you wouldn't normally do, to test fate and see how it reacts."

"It's like when I decided to run away from home, escape that suffocating life of wealth, and resolutely barge into your life; that was part of my resistance against fate," Mu Li said, using herself as an example.

"That's not right." Liu Chaoque raised his head: "Wasn't our meeting a coincidence?"

"Well, I was just curious at the time. You could talk to that cat, so I followed you. And doesn't that mean we were destined to meet? You came to the supermarket at that time, and I came to the supermarket at the same time and we met." Mu Li said shyly.

"I didn't expect to get beaten up." He scratched his head. "They even reduced my pride from 100 points to 90."

Liu Chaoque: Is there a difference?

"But what happened to you? Didn't you go to the police station with your lawyer friend? How come you came back like this?" Seeing that her emotions had stabilized, Mu Li couldn't help but ask.

Speaking of this, Liu Chaoque sighed: "Sifeng has gone mad."

"Huh?" This shocking news caught him completely off guard: "No, how did she go crazy? She was perfectly normal before she went in."

"The specific reasons are a bit complicated, and I don't know if those two best friends can handle this news." Liu Chaoque sighed. "To put it simply, it was done by the mastermind behind Wu Sifeng's crime. Do you remember the Mount Emei fire incident?"

Liu Chaoque adjusted his position and sat opposite Mu Li.

"Could it be that the wildfire wasn't caused by one person? That makes sense; it burned so quickly, it looks quite strange." Mu Li finally had an answer regarding the inconsistencies of that incident.

"Then." He paused for a moment, looking at Liu Chaoque to confirm his thoughts, and Liu Chaoque nodded.

He looked enlightened, then frowned and said, "Are they all crazy? What secrets does the person behind this have that they need to keep?"

"Do you remember the mysterious person I mentioned?" Liu Chaoque suddenly asked.

"You mean the one who pushed you into the middle of the road?" Mu Li suddenly realized. "You don't mean to say that he's the mastermind behind it all, so arrogant, even waving his arms in front of you?"

Liu Chaoque said, "It may or may not be, but I have some idea of ​​the key he mentioned. Actually, it's quite easy to guess."

"That white shark toy?" Mu Li said, "Yeah, they keep saying they went to a craft shop and bought something. Apart from the black cat teacup, which we've already seen, we only know what the other two are."

But you have to ask those two best friends, otherwise Wu Sifeng's affair will be exposed. Liu Chaoque was a little conflicted.

Seeing her hesitation, Mu Li said speechlessly, "Why are you so indecisive? If they take their anger out on you, you can avoid it. Don't carry too many burdens that don't belong to you. These things are already set in stone. They'll find out sooner or later."

Liu Chaoque nodded, her heart at ease, and she regained her usual composure.

The two went downstairs for dinner. Liu Chaoque, feeling slightly uneasy, went to talk to Zhao Yuhan and the other person, with Mu Li by his side.

Zhao Yuhan searched everywhere for clues about Wu Sifeng's innocence, but kept hitting a wall. In fact, the more questions she asked, the more her motives were questioned.

"Are you that woman's accomplice? Let me tell you, that woman is finished!" Zhao Yuhan, who had been scolded once again, wandered around the street corner looking disheveled. Liu Chaoque took her away.

"Good afternoon. How's your investigation going?" Zhao Yuhan forced herself to look at her expectantly, but when she saw Liu Chaoque shake her head, her face immediately turned ashen again: "You're not having an easy time either."

"Where is Zhao Xiaomei?" Liu Chaoque looked around but didn't see anyone else.

"Oh, her." She clicked on a hospital address: "She got into an argument and is hospitalized."

"No, big sister, are you really that calm?" Liu Chaoque said. "I have something to tell you. Let's go to the hospital to see Zhao Xiaomei first. It's about Sifeng."

"Sifeng? You found out? What do you know? Why did Zhao Xiaomei have to be there? Can't you just tell me first?" She bombarded him with questions like a machine gun. Liu Chaoque took several steps back and shook his head firmly.

"Okay." Seeing her insistence, Zhao Yuhan thought that Si Man might not want to repeat herself, so with a mix of trepidation and nervousness, she led the two of them to the hospital.

At the First Municipal Hospital, a girl with her left leg propped up lay in front of a hospital bed with disinfectant spray.

Liu Chaoque looked around the room with complicated emotions, recalling the times he used to be hospitalized.

"How are you feeling?" Liu Chaoque picked up an apple from the table, took out a knife, and started peeling it.

"It's alright, he's still alive."

The two fell silent again. Zhao Yuhan quickly said, "Siman, we've arrived at Xiaomei's bedside. You can tell me what you wanted to say now, right?"

Zhao Xiaomei looked up at Liu Chaoque.

"Yes, you need to be mentally prepared for this." Liu Chaoque's somewhat heavy voice startled the two of them. As if thinking of a certain possibility, Zhao Yuhan said, "Could it be that Sifeng..." Although she didn't say it, her sad expression revealed her thoughts.

"No, it's just that Sifeng has gone mad." Liu Chaoque decided not to keep them in suspense any longer, otherwise it would seem like they had already figured out where to bury Sifeng.

"How did Sifeng go mad?" Zhao Yuhan slumped down on the edge of the bed, somewhat bewildered.

Zhao Yuhan: "Damn it, could it be that Sifeng was...?"

Liu Chaoque: "Be careful what you say." She then looked at the silent Zhao Xiaomei: "You came in such a hurry, I didn't even know how you got into this state. How did you break your leg in a fight?"

They're wrapped up like mummies; it doesn't look like a fight, it looks like a car accident.

"They were fighting on the side of the road when a dump truck suddenly went out of control and crashed into them. One person died on the spot, but Xiaomei at least survived," Zhao Yuhan said calmly.

"Hmm." Zhao Xiaomei closed her eyes. "At least I'm still alive."

It turns out that Zhao Xiaomei answered that she was still alive, which is really fortunate. Liu Chaoque thought helplessly: I thought she didn't want to say and was just making excuses for her.

"How much did the hospitalization cost? If it's not enough, Si Man and I will cover some of it," Mu Li said.

Siman nodded: "Don't worry about the money, let's get the injuries treated first."

“The dump truck driver was fully responsible and is now in police custody, but he can’t come up with that much money. He could only cover our hospital bills for today. We still have to go through a lawsuit later.” Zhao Yuhan said wearily, “How unlucky are we three sisters? One of us went crazy, one almost died, and the other one, I feel like I’m going crazy too.”

“Sometimes I think we shouldn’t have gone to Suzhou to verify whether Sifeng had the ability to hear animal sounds, or when we knew that Sifeng had the ability to communicate with sharks, we should have gone to the aquarium to confirm it, or seen if she could still understand the sound of a great white shark.” Zhao Yuhan said regretfully, “If we had done that, none of this would have happened.”

After listening quietly, Liu Chaoque suddenly squatted down, looked directly into Zhao Yuhan's eyes, and said earnestly, "None of this is your fault. Don't blame your choices for the mistakes. We don't know what Sifeng was thinking. What you did was extremely ordinary. You are not the ones who instigated or guided others to commit crimes. You were just innocently implicated. The best we can do now is to find the murderer and bring him to justice."

"Mmm," Zhao Yuhan nodded hesitantly.

She stood up again: "Let the two of us handle the rest. You take good care of Zhao Xiaomei, and we'll hire a few more bodyguards to protect you."

Mu Li nodded: "The unknown enemy we face now is beyond your ability to contend with. Stay together obediently and wait for our news."

Zhao Yuhan's eyes widened: "So that person is actually from the magic side? Or the strength side? You're going to have a magical duel with him, right?"

No, she seemed a little excited: "If possible, could you tell me more about it?"

Even Zhao Xiaomei perked up: "So, does metaphysics really exist in this world?"

Liu Chaoque shook his head with difficulty: "There is no metaphysics. We must believe in science. It's just that this person is very secretive and his heart is unpredictable. Even without metaphysical means, it would be easier to deal with you."

Knowing that one of them was injured and the other was weak, Zhao Yuhan and Zhao Xiaomei both nodded solemnly.

"Oh, right." Just as Liu Chaoque was about to leave, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked them where the pendants they had bought were.

Turning around, she asked, "I know where Yuhan's cat-shaped water bottle is. Xiaomei, is your turtle pendant with you right now, or is it at home? Also, what does Sifeng's white shark pendant look like? Have you taken a picture of it, or do you know where she put it?"

"This one?" Zhao Yuhan thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Xiaomei, who pointed to the broken phone on the table.

"Xiaomei took a picture, but her phone was damaged in the accident. You can find someone to repair it. The turtle pendant is a plush toy like the Two-Faced Ghost. Xiaomei seems to have mentioned that she hung it on her bag."

"Oh, right!" she exclaimed, slapping her forehead. "Xiaomei, did you go out today carrying that bag with the turtle pendant?"

Zhao Xiaomei opened her eyes wide and nodded dramatically, which aggravated her wound. After a moment of chaos, she gritted her teeth and lay back down on the bed, not daring to make any further movements.

"So, you've actually already gotten your hands on the mastermind behind it all," Liu Chaoque said.

"What do you mean? Could it be that Xiaomei's incident wasn't an accident?" Zhao Yuhan asked hurriedly.

“Of course not.” Mu Li answered her, standing to the side with his arms crossed, looking like he already knew. “I didn’t understand why Zhao Xiaomei was hit while you were fine. After all, you were both chosen by that person. You were either punished together or they would try to shut you up. Now I know why.”

"Just because I wore that pendant? But Sifeng didn't wear it and still... had an accident." Zhao Xiaomei said in a trembling voice.

"Because you took the picture, and with your pendant beside you, it's like a GPS tracker. His main target is Sifeng. Whether Sifeng is wearing it or not, something bad will happen. It seems that the white shark pendant is the key." Liu Chaoque thought for a moment.

Suddenly she took out her phone and made a call. After a few busy tones, the call was disconnected because no one answered for a long time.

"Oh no!" Liu Chaoque said to Mu Li, "Mo Yun!"

Lanxin Residential Area, Hangzhou.

Police cars sirens blared, and special police were deployed to conduct an anti-terrorism operation around the five residential buildings.

Mo Yun huddled in a dark compartment, trembling, listening to the sounds outside.

This morning, while he was cooking, he felt a sudden unease and a bad feeling. So he closed the doors and windows, put out the fire, and hid in the dark compartment.

Sure enough, just a second before he darted into the hidden compartment, his window shattered, the sound of bullets broke the kitchen utensils, and someone broke in through the window. It didn't seem like they were looking for money, but rather for revenge.

But this is a military compound. Normally, let alone a terrorist attack, even petty theft would be discovered by the security guards and handed over to the police station across the street.

There are even people committing crimes with guns.

Soon someone called the police, and because of the guns, they immediately dispatched SWAT teams.

An uninvited guest in the house kept searching for traces of the people inside, but little did he know that the only resident left was a cat that could cook.

Boom! Mo Yun's heart was bleeding. When Si Man came home and saw the bullet holes and mess, would she be so scared that she would move out of the community overnight? But this was the safest place. Where else could they move to?

Lost in thought, it seemed to hear the door open. Holding its breath, it heard the footsteps of the other person, unhurried, measuring the wooden planks in the room step by step. As the footsteps approached, it seemed to smell the dust rising.

And the sound of shoes stepping on the ground, "Huh?" The person seemed to have discovered something.

He crouched down, and the sound of fabric rubbing together was amplified infinitely in its ears.

"I'm like a fish in your lotus pond..." Suddenly, his phone rang, and the man stood up and walked towards the source of the sound.

Mo Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but was also worried that the call was from Si Man.

"Don't move, police!"

With several sounds of windows and doors breaking, the man, unable to check the messages on the phone, could only raise his hands and be led out.
