"Ah!" As Luo Chao's figure had already disappeared from the room, Yan Ruyu's nerves only then came back, then she screamed, quickly got up and fiddled in the wardrobe, first changing into a set of clothes for herself, then taking out a bag to pack her things.

Luo Chao ran back to the room, directly rushed into the bathroom, washed away the bloodstains on his body, then changed his clothes, grabbed his belongings, and headed out. He hadn't brought much with him here, so there wasn't much to pack, just stuffed his bag.

Quickly running out of the room, he saw Yan Ruyu already standing there. She had already changed into a short skirt, and her hair and face had been tidied up. At this moment, she was make-up free, looking completely natural. The charm Luo Chao had previously seen was gone, replaced by a pure, holy appearance.

Seeing that she was only carrying a small bag, Luo Chao's eyes showed admiration. This woman was smart, understanding they were on the run and didn't bring much.

"Let's go!" Now was not the time to talk, so Luo Chao didn't say much. He walked over, snatched Yan Ruyu's bag, slung it over his shoulder, then grabbed Yan Ruyu's hand and dashed toward the alleyway. Yan Ruyu's hand was warm as jade, white as peeled green onions, smooth as soft fat, but at this moment, Luo Chao had no mind to feel these things. Within a few breaths, they disappeared into the darkness of the alley.

At this moment, Luo Chao did not know why he wanted to take Yan Ruyu with him, with only one thought in his heart - to protect the woman in front of him.

As Luo Chao and Yan Ruyu's figures disappeared into the alley, the previously closed windows all opened instantly, heads poked out in the dark, looking at each other.

"They've gone far!" A slightly hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.

"I admire!" A somewhat rough voice was heard.

"Think about it, should we call the police?" The previous hoarse voice spoke again.

"We can't expose the two kids!"

"Alas, Ruyu is actually a poor child; I hope this time she can escape the Sea of Suffering!"

"Once, I thought I was a man of character, but as events unfolded, I realized life would cover up a person's kindness with cowardice, and life would make us coldly watch the world."

"What we can do is help them hide it."

Opinions exchanged in the courtyard.

This scene, Luo Chao could not see. If he saw what these people were doing, would he change his view of them, perhaps he would?

Half an hour later —

"Hello, is this the police station? There's a murder at XX location, please come and take a look!" A group of people in the courtyard surrounded an elderly white-haired man as he made the call.

Ten minutes later, the sound of police sirens approached from afar and slowly entered the courtyard. Four police officers arrived, three men and one woman.

Led by the crowd, the police officers went up to the second floor, into Yan Ruyu's room.

"Ah!" The policewoman screamed as soon as she entered the room upon seeing the chaotic scene inside that resembled a Chaotic Scene from a battlefield. She immediately turned, leaned against the wall, and vomited.

Although the three male police officers were in better shape, their faces were still ashen and ghastly.

"Call to report to superiors! This is a situation beyond our control!" One male police officer, though pale, managed to retain some clarity as a police officer.

The head of the Ruili Police Department, Xiang Rong, is a portly, short-statured man.

"Ring-ring-ring—" A sharp phone ringtone startled him awake. Xiang Rong frowned, picked up the receiver, and lazily answered.

"Hello, is this Director Xiang? This is Wang Jian Nan from the Longyuan District Police Substation. There's a serious murder in Longyuan District that I can't handle, so I'm reporting to you." Rapid speech came from the other end.

"Arrest the murderer and bring them to justice. Do you still have to ask me about this?" Xiang Rong impatiently said, ready to hang up.

"But Director, the people killed are all from the Qingmu Society, and there are as many as five of them. Moreover, the murderer is unknown. We have already sealed off the news, but I must consult you on how to proceed!" Hearing Xiang Rong's impatience, Wang Jian Nan hurriedly explained.

"Director, if this matter gets to the higher-ups, it may cause trouble!" Wang Jian Nan, fearing that Xiang Rong would still neglect the issue, added this sentence.

"Wait, keep the news sealed until I arrive!" Surely, this sentence had its effect, Xiang Rong immediately said. In Ruili, murders are common, as long as the murderer is caught, it's nothing. But it also depends on who died and how severe it is. This time, it involves people from the Qingmu Society, with as many as five dead. If the Qingmu Society gets word of this and causes a commotion, Xiang Rong might lose his position as director.

Concerning the position of director, Xiang Rong dared not be negligent and promptly issued an order.

"Hehe, now I should be fine, right?" At the Longyuan District Police Substation, in the director's office, Wang Jian Nan gently spun in his chair, stood up with a smile, "I must hurry to the scene, and arrive before that old man."

"Prepare the car!" Wang Jianhua picked up the receiver and said two words, then replaced the receiver. He adjusted his police uniform, donned his police cap, and with a smile, walked out of the office.

Half an hour later, at the location where Luo Chao and Yan Ruyu had rented a house, a Hummer slowly drove up. Wang Jian Nan, wearing a distinctive police uniform, restrained his smile just in time and hurried over with a few officers to greet.

The door in front of the Hummer opened, and a police officer in uniform got out. After stepping down, he went straight to the back door, opened it, and made a welcoming gesture. The short and chubby figure of Xiang Rong stepped out.

"Director, you're here. Look, this is the scene, five people were killed inside, two were beheaded. According to residents here, it might be due to gang feuds, but the exact details require further investigation. However, rest assured, our substation will find the real culprit in the shortest time." Upon seeing Xiang Rong get out, Wang Jian Nan hurried over to support him. His words allocated responsibility and opened an exit for himself, achieving two purposes with one statement.

"Hmm!" Xiang Rong hummed softly, got out of the car, glanced at the surrounding police officers enforcing the area, and revealed a faint smile that no one noticed.

"Apart from the residents here, does anyone else know about it?" After a while, Xiang Rong turned back to ask Wang Jian Nan.

"No, after the incident, we sealed off the scene, plus it's nighttime now, so apart from the residents here, no one else temporarily knows." Wang Jian Nan answered truthfully.

"By the way, Director, would you like to see the scene?" Wang Jian Nan, as if suddenly remembering, asked.
