Why did you provoke me?

Upon hearing this, Li Yiqing turned and went back inside, saying, "Let me put on some clothes."

"Did you catch him? Was it the one who stole the dahlia strips?" Jiang Mingfeng asked.

Yu Hai shook his head, "He was covered by a black robe, I couldn't see clearly."

Li Yiqing came out, and the group walked away quickly.

By the time we arrived at Yu Meng's shop, it was already daylight, and we could vaguely see people.

Li Yiqing walked in front, saying, "Hai Zi and Changjiu, you two go to sleep. Don't join in this fun."

Just as Yu Hai was about to speak, Zhao Changjiu pulled him back, "Let's go to the kitchen and make something to eat. They'll be done with their work soon, and then we can eat." The two of them went into the kitchen.

Li Yiqing came to the open space in the backyard. "What happened? You caught that person?"

"We did manage to grab someone, but we don't know if it's that person," Dali said hesitantly from the side.

Seeing the thing covered by the black robe on the ground, Li Yiqing took a deep breath, found a wooden stick, and slowly lifted the black robe up.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the person had legs and a body. But the person remained motionless.

Only Yu Meng frowned, looking at the person lying motionless on the ground. He buried his face deeply in his arms.

This behavior is not something a thief or a bad person should do. He seems to be trying hard to hide something.

Li Yiqing poked the man's body with a stick, but the man didn't move. Only then did Li Yiqing step forward himself.

Dali and the others didn't move; they all aimed their weapons at the motionless person on the ground.

Li Yiqing reached out and turned the person over. Even Dali screamed in surprise. She quickly covered Yu Meng's eyes.

But it was too late. Yu Meng had already seen the person's face. It was a human face with features, but it was covered in dense, black and white hair, about the same length as a man's buzz cut. Both hands were also covered in hair of varying lengths, and stained with blood, as if they had plucked it themselves.

Yu Meng took a closer look and realized it was a man because he had an Adam's apple.

After Li Yiqing clearly saw the man's face, he hurriedly pulled the black cloth back over him. He stood there without moving, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Mingfeng's voice rang out at this moment. "Cousin, is he even human?"

Li Yiqing's voice sounded congested. "Yes, not only, but he should also be a hero."

Dali and Yu Meng exchanged a glance. They had both heard the words, but neither understood their meaning.

"What should we do with this person?" Dali asked. "He should be a hero, so he shouldn't be a bad person either."

Li Yiqing shook his head. "I don't know if he's a bad person. I also don't know if he's still a hero now."

Yu Meng didn't understand what he was saying at all, and she couldn't be bothered to pay attention. "Brother Li, we'll leave this matter to you. We have no objections to how you handle it."

Li Yiqing then looked up at Yu Meng. "I was just standing here without moving because I didn't know what to do. If I had known how to handle it, I would have acted already."

Yu Meng thought for a moment and reminded him, "If he's a hero, there should be a record of him. Why don't you just have someone check?"

Dali chimed in from the other end, "Do you know his name? Where is he from?"

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

Yu Meng yawned. "I'm just a kid, I won't get involved in your adult stuff. I'm sleepy, I'm going upstairs to take a nap." With that, she turned and went upstairs neatly.

Li Yiqing opened his mouth as if to call out to her, but in the end, he gave up.

"Cousin, what do we do now?" Jiang Mingfeng, who had no tact, suddenly asked.

"What should I do? If I knew what to do, would I still be standing here?" Li Yiqing was so angry that he wanted to kick Jiang Mingfeng.

"How about we tie him up with a rope first, and then talk to him when he wakes up?" Dali suggested.

Li Yiqing also felt that this was the only way for the time being. They had to tie him up; if someone could stay glued to a wall for hours, who could catch him if he wanted to run?

After tying him up, Li Yiqing and Jiang Mingfeng took him to Jiang Mingfeng's house, since it was just the two of them there, and they could handle any situation that might arise.

It wasn't until after 6 a.m. that Li Yiqing finally used a landline to call his grandfather in the city.

"What did you say?" Grandpa Li asked anxiously on the phone.

"His current characteristics perfectly match the description in our family diary." Li Yiqing pinched the bridge of his nose. "Grandpa, what should I do now? How should we deal with this person?"

What are the chances of him being sent back to the city?

"He's been given several injections of anesthetic, so he should be able to hold on for a while. Does Grandpa want me to take him back to the city?" Li Yiqing asked cautiously.

"Ah Qing, you should know in your heart that this person is of great value," Grandpa Li said before hanging up the phone.

Li Yiqing was torn. He didn't want to bring the person back to the city, but if he didn't, he didn't know what to do with them.

Jiang Mingfeng suddenly ran over. "Cousin, that person seems to have woken up. He's muttering something, but I couldn't hear him clearly."

"What? You woke up so quickly?" Li Yiqing hurriedly stood up and went to another room with Jiang Mingfeng.

"Drink..." came the broken voice from the bound man's mouth.

"Cousin, did you hear what word he said?"

"no."

"Cousin, should we give him some water?" Jiang Mingfeng continued to ask.

"Don't you feel scared looking at him like this?" Li Yiqing asked instinctively, looking at Jiang Mingfeng.

"I don't think so. He just looks a little strange. But at the end of the day, isn't he still a human being?"

At this moment, Li Yiqing had a new understanding of Jiang Mingfeng's carelessness.

The shop is on the second floor.

Yu Meng went upstairs but didn't go to sleep. She stood by the window and watched as many people walked back and forth on the street in front of the building, all busy making a living.

Their faces wore expressions of joy, sorrow, and anger; one man even cursed and kicked pebbles as he walked. Perhaps he had gone gambling, and by dawn, the game was over, but he hadn't achieved his goals. He must have been furious.

Yu Meng suppressed her emotions. She was different now. She had her own home, loving parents, a protective older sister, and a doting older brother. She could run and jump around in the streets, and people who saw her would only say, "Whose girl is this? She's so noisy." Unlike in her previous life, when everyone would secretly point at her and say, "She's a monster. Stay away from her, or she'll hurt you."

But she didn't do anything special, and with her unique eyesight, she even saved many people, yet everyone seemed to have forgotten that. Everyone branded her as a monster, and she never shed that label until her death—what a pity.

Over the years, Yu Meng had almost forgotten about this incident, but today she saw that monster who could be considered human. These memories were awakened within her; it turned out that she had never forgotten them, but had simply buried them deep within herself.
