I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

[The murderer, having laid down his fists in the rainy night, was brought to justice. The utterly wicked butcher of the rainy night finally drowned in the very darkness he loved most; karma is cyclical, and retribution is inevitable.]

[Primordial Qi + 0.3]

[Eagle Claw Grappling Skill Experience +10 (Beginner 45/100)]

[Snake-style Fist Skill Experience +5 (Beginner 70/100)]

Li Chang'an slowly withdrew his fist, looked up and took a deep breath of the air mixed with the smell of rain and blood, calming the restless blood and qi in his body.

A pale white lightning bolt suddenly tore through the night sky, illuminating his wet profile clearly in its cold light.

This was Li Chang'an's first time killing someone.

The killer was a psychopathic serial killer. I felt almost no physical discomfort, and even felt a sense of relief and exhilaration.

Chen Yuesheng gazed at his lonely figure, disregarding Lin Guoyun's lifeless body lying on the ground. She quickly walked over and asked with concern:

"Changli, are you hurt?"

"No, he can't hurt me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuesheng breathed a sigh of relief and then began to think about how to handle the aftermath.

She began to recall the Hong Kong law she had studied when she went to France, and considered whether the current situation was advantageous to Li Chang'an.

In the late 1970s, Hong Kong still used the British common law system.

Legally, ordinary people are allowed to fight back against violent thugs. If the other party is a desperate criminal, it is considered self-defense if one acts in self-defense or to save others.

However, British law adheres to the "retreat principle," requiring that one should retreat first in a crisis. If one is forced to kill after exhausting all other options, it is considered legal self-defense and no one will be held criminally liable. Only if the force exceeds what is necessary in a desperate situation will it be considered excessive self-defense, and the offender will be convicted and sentenced accordingly.

Lin Guoyun, this murderer who committed a violent crime in the rain, is driving his car and his murderous intent is obvious. He certainly deserves to die.

But after disarming Lin Guoyun and ensuring his own safety, Li Chang'an did not choose to control him. Instead, he went straight for Lin Guoyun's eyes and tore his throat apart...

There was also a clear problem of excessive force.

Chen Yuesheng's biggest worry now is that Li Chang'an will be convicted of manslaughter, and even if he is given a lenient sentence, he will still face short-term imprisonment.

"However, Changli, my brother... we know lawyers in our family who specialize in violent criminal cases. Your sister will definitely not let you go to jail!"

Chen Yuesheng clenched his fists, determined to help Li Chang'an, even if it meant seeking help from his most hated grandfather and his connections with the triads.

Li Chang'an, however, remained unperturbed.

When it comes to lawyer-lawyer relationships, no one can compare to the squad leader.

In capitalist societies, a powerful legal team can turn black into white, and besides, Li Chang'an had the legitimacy to kill Lin Guoyun this time.

"Sister Yuesheng, let's talk about my matter later. Let's save people first."

"Uh-huh……"

Chen Yuesheng nodded repeatedly.

Despite being much older and more experienced than Li Chang'an, she unconsciously relied on him as her pillar of support during this dangerous rainy night, like a little girl.

The two walked quickly to the taxi, and Li Chang'an reached out and lifted the trunk lid.

Chen Yuesheng immediately turned on his flashlight to illuminate him.

Under the lights, a short-haired girl with shoulder-length hair, wearing a dark green pleated skirt and a white shirt school uniform, was huddled in the trunk in fear.

Her mouth was taped shut, her hands and feet were tightly bound with thick rope, and a hideous and glaring wound stretched across one of her thighs, from which blood slowly seeped out.

Li Chang'an tore off the tape from her mouth and untied the ropes binding her.

But the girl's pale lips trembled, she couldn't speak, and her eyes were somewhat glazed.

"She's been through so much trauma, her forehead is so hot... she must have a fever, and the wound looks terrible, it needs to be bandaged up as soon as possible."

As a teacher, Chen Yuesheng instinctively felt sorry for this poor female student.

"Changli, let's take her to the clinic down the mountain to get her wound bandaged and have some hot tea to rest. There are also public phone booths down the mountain where we can call the police."

Li Chang'an nodded. Since he couldn't drive, he asked Chen Yuesheng if he could drive the taxi.

Chen Yuesheng's cheeks flushed slightly.

She explained in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed, that she had always been terrible with directions and couldn't tell which way to go on the road. Moreover, she was prone to tipping over when riding a bicycle or other means of transportation, so she simply didn't plan to learn to drive.

"..."

Li Chang'an was speechless.

However, he also understood why, given Chen Yuesheng's status, he always saw her on buses and taxis.

The rain was still pouring down, and staying here in the rain wasn't a solution.

Li Chang'an had no choice but to drape the only raincoat he could find in the car over the girl's shoulders and then hold her securely in his arms.

Chen Yuesheng also found an umbrella, and she jogged to Li Chang'an's side, holding the umbrella to shield him from the rain.

However, Ms. Chen forgot for a moment that she was wearing pointed high heels on her black stockings, and she twisted her ankle without noticing.

Chen Yuesheng cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground in a duck-like position. She raised her bright, almond-shaped eyes and looked at Li Chang'an with embarrassment.

"Brother Changli, it seems I can't leave..."

"..."

A moment later, Li Chang'an, carrying one in his arms and another on his back, walked down the mountain.

However, Chen Yuesheng, who was being carried on his back, held an umbrella over their heads, which allowed them to be sheltered from the rain at the same time.

……

……

An hour later.

Hung Hom Police Station, West Kowloon.

"Mr. Chen, the officers shouldn't give him any trouble, right?"

"Don't worry, Jiang, I've already called someone over..."

In the waiting room of the police station, Chen Yuesheng sat side by side with the rescued short-haired high school girl.

The two introduced themselves to each other, and Chen Yuesheng now knew that the short-haired soprano was named Jiang Shuwan.

Chen Yuesheng was quite surprised when he heard the name.

She had read about Jiang Shuwan's secondary school days in the Sing Tao Daily, one of the top three newspapers in Hong Kong.

Back then, Jiang Shuwan had already gained some fame in the fashion magazine circle with her clean, pure, and spirited youthful temperament.

As a campus model, she was not only talented and beautiful, but also won a silver medal in an international ballet competition. That year, she was admitted to the famous Delan Girls' School with an excellent score of the top three among the freshmen.

The more Chen Yuesheng looked at Jiang Shuwan, the gentler his gaze became.

What a great student! I wish they could recruit him from our Sai Wan Yuk Choi Middle School.

Such a top student, who is both virtuous and intelligent, could be placed next to Ruan Xiaotang, which would also improve Xiaotang's aesthetic sense.

At least it will let Xiaotang understand what a truly outstanding girl her age is like.

Anyway, a girl as outstanding as Jiang Shuwan would definitely not be interested in some unknown gangster who beats people up at the drop of a hat.

The thought of Ruan Xiaotang made Chen Yuesheng angry.

Since its establishment, Sai Wan Yuk Choi Secondary School has finally produced a promising student who is capable of getting into Hong Kong University during her tenure as vice principal.

She was so beautiful and charming, yet she was lured away by some unknown scoundrel!

If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to use her power to bully others, she would have really wanted He Shenghe to catch that thug!

……

……

Meanwhile, inside the interrogation room.

The petty thug whom Chen Yuesheng had his eye on was now firmly handcuffed to a chair.

Two police officers were reviewing a medical examination report issued by a forensic doctor, separated by two tables.

"The deceased suffered a fractured throat, ruptured carotid arteries on both sides, ruptured eyeballs, and violently torn wrist joints and tendons..."

Upon seeing the report in front of them, the two police officers gasped.

Are these injuries definitely caused by a person, and not from encountering a wild beast like a tiger?
