Chapter 181 Alright then... I'll go back!
As he stepped back, Yuan Wang took out his phone and tried dialing again. This time the signal was good, and someone answered quickly.
So, in the dead of night, the sirens blared.
Yuan Wang had a habit of installing surveillance cameras at home. By the time the police arrived, she had already retrieved the footage, and the police gathered together to watch it as soon as they arrived.
When they saw that Long Xiaoxiao had suddenly acquired a gun, they looked at each other in confusion, and finally all turned their gaze to Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao.
Yuan Wang remained expressionless: "It's a toy gun I bought for the child."
The police were skeptical, but considering that Yuan Wang didn't seem like the type to engage in smuggling, they largely believed him. Besides, even if it were a real gun, it wouldn't fall into the hands of a child, so they completely believed Yuan Wang's words.
Long Xiaoxiao, who was standing obediently next to Yuan Wang, blinked twice and put her hands behind her back, feeling a little guilty.
Although she didn't know why Sister Yuan Wang was lying, Long Xiaoxiao was always very obedient. If Sister Yuan Wang wanted to lie, she would just lie along with her.
The aunt had already been taken to the hospital by the police and was still unconscious. You Huai and You Ruyu were awakened by the commotion outside and rushed over to inquire about Yuan Wang's condition before silently staying with them.
Seeing that these time-space fugitives had already figured out Long Xiaoxiao's location in human form, which was definitely very dangerous, the system decided to let Long Xiaoxiao transform into her dragon form and return to Xingyin Mountain.
Thinking this, the system said, "Xiaoxiao, let's pick a time to go back to Xingyin Mountain."
Long Xiaoxiao blinked, a little resistant: "But I've only been playing for three days."
The system soothed, "We're not safe here. Bad guys will come and bully us."
Thinking about how her aunt suddenly turned into a monster today, Long Xiaoxiao understood the system's concerns. She thought about it and became worried herself: "If we leave, will they bully Sister Yuan Wang and the others?"
"Uh..." The system was speechless.
It's really hard to say.
They've figured out Long Xiaoxiao's human form and location, so they must be very familiar with her interpersonal relationships. They might actually try to threaten Long Xiaoxiao by taking action against Yuan Wang.
But in the system's mind, Long Xiaoxiao's safety was more important, so the system downplayed the issue and said, "Well... if you go back to Xingyin Mountain, those bad guys might go there to look for you."
The implication is that the bad guys might not stay here to harm Yuan Wang and his group.
But Long Xiaoxiao replied matter-of-factly, "If I go back, they will still come and bully me, so it's okay if I don't go back."
The system hadn't expected to get itself into this mess, and in its surprise, it didn't immediately reply to Long Xiaoxiao's words.
At this time, the aunt also slowly woke up in the hospital.
When Yuan Wang heard that his aunt had woken up, he made it clear that he wanted to communicate with her directly. After the police asked for the aunt's opinion, they agreed.
The aunt looked tired. When Yuan Wang rushed over with Long Xiaoxiao, she was leaning weakly against the hospital bed. She raised her head when she heard them and looked hesitant.
Yuan Wang remained expressionless. The police officers beside him sat upright next to the aunt. They had asked her some questions, but she hadn't answered any of them. She only responded after Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao's names were mentioned.
“Miss Yuan,” the aunt said, her voice hoarse.
Yuan Wang frowned and said softly, "What have you been doing lately?"
Her eyes were wary.
The auntie now is completely different from how she was when she went berserk.
"I..." the aunt said with a bitter smile, "I was too greedy."
She spoke slowly and deliberately.
It turns out that not long ago, when Auntie was out shopping, she encountered some strange people who subtly inquired about Yuan Wanglong and Xiaoxiao. They also indicated that if she was willing to take photos of Long Xiaoxiao or Yuan Wang and pass on the information to them, they would give Auntie 500,000 yuan each time.
Blinded by money, the aunt agreed after hesitating for a few hours.
After all, they're just some photos. Maybe they just like Long Xiaoxiao and Yuan Wang? The aunt thought to herself with a glimmer of hope.
But the unexpected happened on the day Long Xiaoxiao returned.
That day, Auntie secretly took some photos as usual and sent them to those strange people, but when they saw Long Xiaoxiao, they suddenly became very excited and pulled her aside, muttering a bunch of things that were incomprehensible to her. This scared Auntie half to death, so she simply refused their request for her to continue passing on messages.
After this incident, Auntie began to feel dizzy and kept seeing the figures of those strange people in the backyard. She was afraid that Yuan Wang and the others would discover what she had done, so she would rush to check whenever she heard the strange people making noises.
But each time, nothing unusual was observed.
Even tonight, she has no recollection of what happened that night. She only remembers hearing the clattering sound again, getting dressed, and going to the backyard. As soon as she opened the door, she lost consciousness.
After listening to the aunt's explanation, the system felt a sense of unease.
It seems they noticed the unusual relationship between Yuan Wang and Long Xiaoxiao a long time ago.
However, it also conveyed good news to the system: those time-space fugitives didn't seem to have much interest in the lives of Yuan Wang and the others, so it didn't matter if Long Xiaoxiao left.
The system then shared its analysis with Long Xiaoxiao.
Long Xiaoxiao listened, but hesitated and did not respond.
The conversation between Yuan Wang and his aunt was recorded by a police officer who reviewed it in conjunction with the surveillance footage from the previous night. The officer concluded that the aunt might have schizophrenia.
To verify what the aunt had said, they went to investigate the supermarket's surveillance footage, but after searching through it all, they couldn't find the so-called strange people the aunt had mentioned. As a result, the incident was classified as mental instability.
But Yuan Wang didn't think so.
She had witnessed the Yuan family's madness when they were messing around with those evil gods and sorcery, and she believed that there really were strange and chaotic gods in the world that were different from the Azure Dragon God. So when she heard her aunt's words, her first reaction was that the remnants of the Yuan family had come to settle accounts with her.
But the thought of those people inexplicably being obsessed with Long Xiaoxiao made Yuan Wang feel a little scared.
If the target were Yuan Wang, she wouldn't be so worried; if Dan were just a small child...
Yuan Wang suddenly felt a pang of guilt, thinking that she had implicated Long Xiaoxiao.
The two had their own thoughts, until Yuan Wang brought Long Xiaoxiao home, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the You family mother and daughter dozing on the sofa.
Long Xiaoxiao finally made a decision regarding the system: "Alright then... I'll go back."
But his tone was reluctant.
The system breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Wang led Long Xiaoxiao by the hand to You Ruyu and You Huai. Her tense nerves relaxed slightly. She smiled and gently pinched You Ruyu's cheek, which immediately sobered You Ruyu up.
