“I’ve already reported to the higher-ups. Old Yinglong’s mother and son can be sent to the Disabled Persons’ Welfare Institute. The expenses will be partly borne by the welfare institute, and our bureau has also set aside a special fund for this,”

Officer Lao Wang said as soon as Xu Yang answered the phone.

He had gone through a lot of trouble for this matter and had written at least seven or eight reports.

He started the car and drove toward Yinglong’s home.

Soon enough,

They arrived at the entrance of the old residential area.

A community worker responsible for this area also came, and she was a middle-aged woman.

Upon arriving, Officer Wang introduced her: “This is the leader of the Wen Cui Community. She is very familiar with the situation of Yinglong’s family… Our bureau is too busy, so we contacted the community and asked them to help handle the matter.”

As he spoke,

He took out an envelope.

In the envelope was a wad of cash, at least over ten thousand dollars.

This money was donated by the officers of Litong District Bureau. Xu Yang had just put more than 1800 dollars in the car, which was all the cash he had on him.

“Officer Wang, rest assured, every cent of this money will be made public by our community. 1 also applied for funds from our higher-ups today, so I think more funds should be allocated,”

The middle-aged woman was also going to Yinglong’s home.

In private, Xu Yang asked, “Officer Wang, the scene we’re about to see might be too… shocking for ordinary people. Will she be frightened if she goes? Have you told her about Old Yinglong’s situation?”

“Um…”

Officer Lao Wang hesitated and said, “1 didn’t tell her about it… But even if 1 did, she might not believe it, right?”

Xu Yang glanced at the community leader.

She was in her fifties, a chubby woman with what looked like high blood pressure. Afraid she would be scared and become ill, Xu Yang made an excuse when they arrived at Old Yinglong’s building, asking her to wait outside for a moment while he and Officer Wang needed to investigate something first.

Upon entering the building,

Xu Yang used some of his power to temporarily open the “Heavenly Eye” for Officer Wang.

They knocked on the door.

From inside the room, Old Yinglong’s voice came-

“Who is it!”

“I’m a police officer from the Litong District Public Security Bureau. I’d like to ask you a few questions.”

Officer Lao Wang showed his credentials through the peephole in the door.

Click.

The door opened, and Old Yinglong poked his head out, carefully examining Xu Yang and Lao Wang. A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes as he looked left and right before saying, “Come in, let’s talk inside.”

As soon as the two of them entered, he immediately closed the door again.

He acted as if he was worried about being seen by others.

At this moment, it was not yet midnight, and he hadn’t gone out driving. He was still at home.

His house was not very big, a two-bedroom apartment of about seventy square meters, spotlessly clean and tidy.

In one bedroom lay Yinglong’s mother.

She suffered from a serious eye condition that had not left her completely blind, but very nearly so. Her legs were also problematic, and she was essentially bedridden for most of the time.

On the sofa in the living room sat a boy about seven or eight years old.

The boy was playing with a video game console on the sofa. Seeing Xu Yang and Officer Wang enter, he seemed shy and stumbled his way into the bedroom.

He had cerebral palsy, which had caused his body to develop abnormally. He had rickets and one side of his body, including his leg, seemed thinner than the other. Unsteady on his feet, he limped when he walked.

Although he appeared to be only seven or eight years old, Xu Yang knew he was actually fifteen already, but his mental age was only about two or three. He couldn’t even wipe his nose or saliva by himself.

“Sigh!”

Xu Yang sighed inwardly.

No wonder Old Yinglong couldn’t let go of this family.

There was a photo hanging on the wall of the room, but it was covered by a cloth.

At this moment, Old Yinglong was visibly tense, standing aside and remaining silent.

Xu Yang asked, “Ma Chenggong, do you know why we’re here to see you today?”

“No… I don’t know!”

Ma Chenggong shook his head, his eyes wandering, not daring to meet Xu Yang’s gaze.

Xu Yang did not ask further but said, “Ma Chenggong, we already know about your family’s situation… This person next to me is Officer Wang from the Litong District Public Security Bureau. Officer Wang, can you tell us about the situation you’ve arranged?”

Lao Wang told in detail about the plans for Ma Chenggong’s mother and child. “Really… really?”

When Ma Chenggong heard this, he fell to his knees with a thud, saying, “Thank you, Officer Wang, thank you, Officer Wang…”

Being thanked by a ghost, Officer Wang felt a little unequipped to handle it. He hurriedly stood up and stepped away, saying, “It’s all thanks to Master Xu. 1 just helped run some errands and didn’t do much.”

Ma Chenggong was about to kneel and thank Xu Yang, but Xu Yang sat on the sofa without moving and accepted Ma Chenggong’s bow.

After he bowed, he burst into tears.

Although there were no tears, the crying was very heartbreaking!

For the past few years, the burden on his shoulders had been too heavy, like a mountain, suffocating him… He had thought about suicide more than once, escaping the sea of suffering, and running away from this city.

But everytime he thought of his blind mother and his disabled son who couldn’t take care of themselves, he would just continue to mechanically repeat his daily life.

Until he was exhausted, he died suddenly in the car.

Even becoming a ghost, he dared not leave!

But at this moment, he felt an unprecedented relaxation.

He went to the wall, lifted the cloth covering the photo frame, revealing a black and white memorial photo.

“Actually, I already knew I was dead…”

“But 1 can’t let go, let go of my mother, my child…”

“These days, 1 feel my body getting weaker and weaker every day, always on the verge of dissipating… And when I stay with my mother and child for a long time, it seems to affect them too, making their bodies weak.”

“But 1 don’t dare to leave… I’m afraid that after 1 leave, no one will take care of my old mother and son…”

“In fact, before you came, 1 was even thinking about whether to take my mother and child with me before I leave…”

He said a lot.

And cried for a long time.

After a while, he finally stopped.

He went into the bedroom, knelt in front of the bed, and thumped his head several times, saying, “Mother, I have been unfilial and unable to care for you in your old age… I’m sorry… I’m sorry!”

His mother, although blind, was not deaf.

She naturally knew that her son had already died, and at this moment, she choked up and said, “Go, go… it’s your mother’s fault for holding you back these years. After you go, live a good life.”

“Dad, dad…”

In the room, the child’s crying could be heard.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have successfully guided the soul without incident and receive a reward: Merit points +100.”

In his mind, the system prompt sounded.

Xu Yang rubbed his eyes, walked into the room, and gently stroked the crying child’s face. The child fell asleep in a daze.

He looked at the old woman on the bed again and left the room, saying, “Officer Wang, call the community people up… Oh, after you arrange the old woman and child, let me know. I have several talismans in my line that may help ease their condition.”

The two went downstairs and informed the community people.

Lao Wang took out two cigarettes, gave one to Xu Yang, and lit one for himself. He smoked and sighed several times.

Just then.

Xu Yang’s phone rang.

After answering, the person on the other end said, “Hello, may 1 speak with Mr. Xu Yang? This is Chaoyang Police Station. Your elder sister is suspected of eating a king’s meal, beating the chef, and the waiter…”

Slap!

Xu Yang hung up the phone directly, cursing, “These scammers are so unprofessional now. I, Xu Yang, have no relatives, where did this elder sister come from… Huh?”
