Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries - Chapter 154: You’re Sure?
Chapter 154: You’re Sure?
Edited by Crooked
Gu Xizhou rubbed his temples, sitting in the passenger’s seat of Gu Qing’s car. Gu Qing looked down at Gu Xizhou sternly. “Xiao Zhou, I heard from Uncle Wang that you were drugged the day before yesterday. Were you hurt?”
Gu Xizhou was silent for a moment before shaking his head to show that he was okay.
“That’s good.” Gu Qing nodded before saying, “You didn’t come home that day. When your mother and I called you, your friend answered the phone.”
Here it comes!
Gu Xizhou mocked himself. He had been waiting for this for several days now. He found it strange that Gu Qing and Zhou Xinyue hadn’t tried to talk to him yet. He assumed that the couple had never considered that their son might be gay. He really was a fool. They were both born to be police officers. Their sharp judgment couldn’t be compared to that of the gossipy Xiang Yuan.
“Si Yu, his name is Si Yu,” Gu Xizhou said.
Gu Qing put both hands on the steering wheel and asked, “The day you were with him, what was your relationship to him?”
He asked this seriously with a worried look on his face.
Gu Xizhou propped his chin on his hand, watching Gu Qing’s expression as he spoke. “The kind of relationship you’re thinking of. Otherwise I wouldn’t have called him, right?”
Gu Qing laughed at himself. Before he had thought that that man and his son were nothing, but that was just a fool’s dream. Lowering his voice he asked, “You’re sure?”
“Yes,” Gu Xizhou replied firmly without any hesitation.
Gu Qing looked at Gu Xizhou and didn’t speak. After a long time, Gu Qing was the one to open his mouth first. “I’ll talk to your mom. When will you be home?”

Gu Qing coughed lightly and said, “That’s good, ba. Make sure you aren’t a nuisance.”
Gu Xizhou: ???
After Gu Xizhou got out, Gu Qing pinched the bridge of his nose gently. Although he’d already thought of this possibility before, hearing his son’s indifferent admission, his heart still felt a little stuffed up.
But on second thought he shook his head. If his son liked him, then he would be happy.
In his mind a gunshot rang out, the scene from that day suddenly appearing in his mind. His son had blocked a shot for him and had to go to the hospital… Recalling this, Gu Qing’s adam’s apple bobbed, his throat closing off. He’d nearly died that day, but his memory was blurred and something seemed to be missing… Some things couldn’t be remembered clearly, but his son’s face became clearer and clearer.
Gu Qing let out a faint sigh. So long as he talked to his wife, she would understand.
After driving for an hour and a half, Gu Xizhou finally came to a stop outside of Si Yu’s villa. As he got out of the car, he couldn’t help complaining. “Your home is too far away.”
Si Yu put his chin on Gu Xizhou’s shoulder and said softly, “This is your home too.”
Gu Xizhou huffed out a laugh and said deliberately, “My home is in the city, but yours is in the suburb.”
Si Yu grabbed onto Gu Xizhou angrily. “You said you would move in with me.”
“If you dislike living so far away, we can move to the city. I also have a house in the city.”
Gu Xizhou, “I was just kidding.”
“Do you still feel like we’re too far away, ba?” Si Yu asked.
“A little.”
“Then let’s move tomorrow! I’ll pick you up after work.”
Gu Xizhou said in confusion, “It’s not too much trouble?”
It was easy for Si Yu to make such grandiose statements.
While they were eating dinner, Si Yu asked about the case. Gu Xizhou didn’t go into the details, only talking a little about the girl’s parents mainly because the girl’s father had done something that made people feel cold.
“Ding—”
Gu Xizhou heard his phone ping and his brain instantly went as taut as a bow string. He was afraid to look at his phone. He was still eating and glanced at it twice. Every time his phone pinged, it was for a case.
Not bad.
His phone didn’t go off because of a case. It was a message from Gu Qing asking him to go to the hospital for an examination.
Gu Xizhou thought about the substitute driver who had drugged him. Because it was only an ‘attempted rape,’ and Gu Xizhou was a man, the other person’s punishment wasn’t that bad. Gu Xizhou was very upset by this.
Gu Xizhou couldn’t help complaining: If he hadn’t been so strong he could have become a ‘fucked dog.’
He turned to glance at Si Yu quietly: He was also made miserable by the person who slept with him.
“Why are you looking at me?” Si Yu asked curiously, turning to Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment and didn’t forget to joke. “You’re so handsome, ah.”
Si Yu: …
The next day.
Gu Xizhou went in to the station early, listening to Xiang Yuan’s autopsy report while he ate.
Sun Feifei’s fingernails contained traces of DNA. After comparing them, it was clear that they were not Wei Ming’s, and he could be eliminated as a suspect.
The only question now was who the DNA belonged to. Recalling the clues from Sun Feifei’s neighbors, Gu Xizhou quickly found the man they mentioned in her contacts.
The young man took a seat in the interrogation room and asked, “Officer, can you smoke in here?”
“You can,” Gu Xizhou said, nodding lightly.
The young man took a cigarette from his bag, taking two puffs from it to light it. After a moment he said, “I got to know that girl at a party. I saw she was beautiful, so I decided to chase her. I spent some money, and we got together quickly. I went to her home once or twice.”
“Does your wife know?”
The young man tapped his cigarette to get rid of the ash and replied, “I’ve been divorced for over two years. Before we divorced, we both had our own games outside. But she was more ruthless than me and sent people to rape me. I still feel angry talking about it…”
“Stop, stop!” Gu Xizhou said, raising his eyebrows. “Keep talking about Sun Feifei. “Other than you, is there anyone else she has an improper relationship with?”
“Eh?” The man curled his lip angrily, correcting him. “She and I have a proper relationship!”
Gu Xizhou gave him a harsh look and the man shrugged, spreading his palms out as he said deviously, “Actually, I’ve only known her for a month.”
“Oh, I remember, there was this time I was having dinner with her and she was constantly replying to text messages. Later someone called her and she left for a long time to take the call. When I went to look for her, she was arguing with someone.
“But I don’t know who it was. I can’t say for sure who she was arguing with on the phone. Anyway, I didn’t kill anyone. I’m not afraid of you investigating.”
