The Magician of Cultivation

It's not like he has never seen money.

The small house in Shanghai is worth more than 6 million yuan. As a criminal policeman, the monthly salary is more than 20,000 yuan.

But in the past two years, he was really scared by money.

"Start the car and leave here. It's the middle of the night anyway, and no one knows what's going on here."

"Besides, their money was also robbed. They are bad people, so what if I took it? It's not like I robbed it."

Rumble

The car engine started and the headlights illuminated the narrow path ahead.

Li Yu kept taking deep breaths.

"Yes, yes, let's get out of here quickly. Quickly...quickly..."

It seemed like there was a devil living in his heart.

The devil kept bewitching him with his voice.

"But……"

Li Yu turned his head and looked at the co-pilot seat.

There, the dark blue police hat lay quietly.

The national emblem flashed a faint silver light under the reflection of the car lights.

"But……"

"If I take the money, am I still me?"

"Am I... still worthy of this police uniform?"

He recalled the scene of taking the oath when he first joined the police force.

That young man with integrity and a light in his eyes.

It was as if he was staring at himself sitting in the car, with greed on his face and dull eyes.

There was deep contempt, hatred, pity, and sadness in the young man's eyes.

"Do not……"

Li Yu roared unwillingly in his heart.

But another voice sounded.

"Sorry for the police uniform?"

"Then don't be a criminal police officer. With this money, you can go anywhere."

"Where can't we go?"

Li Yu's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, if I don't become a criminal policeman, I won't live in the Magic City."

"Yes, yes, that's it..."

That voice seemed to see the dawn of victory.

Continue to seduce, "Li Yu, think about your family, think about your children."

"All your difficulties now are because of money. With money, everything can be solved."

"I understand, I understand..."

"Ha ha……"

Li Yu sat in the car, laughing wildly, with tears coming out of his eyes.

"It's true that those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see more clearly."

"I should have thought of it earlier, should have thought of it earlier..."

Snapped

The key turned back into place.

He turned off the car, lit a cigarette, and puffed on it.

Those blank, dim eyes, in the silent SUV, emitted a faint light.

"This money can solve all my current difficulties, but my life is over."

"I will live in self-blame and regret forever. My parents, my children, and even my lover will be ashamed of this."

"This is not the only way to solve my current predicament."

Li Yu threw away the cigarette butt, took out another one and lit it.

Then he took out his cell phone and turned it back on.

He scrolled through the address book and quickly found his wife's number.

As soon as the call was made, it was answered instantly.

"Husband, where are you?"

There was a cry in the wife's voice.

"Hubby, I know you're having a hard time, please don't do anything stupid..."

Li Yu frowned.

"What's wrong, honey? I'm fine."

The wife was still worried and asked again: "Where are you now?"

"Oh, I'm by the Lu River."

Li Yu replied, "You know, when I'm in a bad mood, I come here to relax."

When the wife heard this, she was visibly relieved.

"Honey, I was really scared just now."

"Captain Liu called just now and said..."

The wife narrated the incident in a halting manner.

But just now, after he called Captain Liu, he hung up without saying a word.

Captain Liu called back and found that the phone was turned off.

When he separated from Li Yu, he found that the latter was in a low mood.

Worried that something might happen to Li Yu, he called his wife.

Their criminal police team is often on missions, and sometimes they are not at home for ten days or half a month.

The police force has the phone number of every family member.

"Honey, I'm fine..."

Li Yu answered again.

He took a puff of his cigarette and exhaled slowly.

"Hubby, I know you've had a hard time these past two years."

"But you should think more about me and the children. As long as our family is safe and together, it is more important than anything else."

The wife on the other end of the phone comforted him softly.

"Wife, you have suffered a lot following me all these years."

Without waiting for his wife to speak, he continued:

"You don't know, I almost took the wrong road just now."

"Hubby, I never regret marrying you..."

The wife's voice was emotional.

Li Yu was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Wife, I want to sell the house in Shanghai and go back to my hometown to develop. I'm sorry, I..."

His voice was a little low and he didn't know what to say.

However, the wife's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Husband, is it true?"

"I've wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I was afraid you wouldn't agree."

"The Magic City is nice, but I still don't feel at home here."

The wife's voice was full of longing, "It would be nice to go back home."

"We both come from the same town. It's not far away, so it's convenient for us to take care of the elderly."

"And they can help take care of the kids, so I can go out to work. I believe our lives will get better and better. Hehe..."

Li Yu listened quietly until his wife finished speaking, then he spoke.

"Thank you, honey, for always supporting me."

"Thank you too, husband."

The two talked for a while, and Li Yu felt that all the haze in his heart was swept away.

After hanging up the phone, he got out of the car with his handbag.

Li Yu gently placed the handbag next to the dead person, full of emotion.

"Money can make people happy, but if I have to sell my personality for money, I... don't want to."

He took out his cell phone and called Captain Liu.

"Hey, Xiaoyu."

Captain Liu's slightly blaming voice came from the phone.

"What happened to you just now? You didn't tell me after I called you. The brothers are so worried now."

"Your mother's illness has been approved by your superiors. Arrange her to stay in the family ward as soon as possible."

Captain Liu’s words warmed Li Yu’s heart.

"Boss, I'm fine. My phone just ran out of battery. Listen to me. I'm on the Lujiang Expressway now..."

"what?"

Captain Liu's voice suddenly rose.

"Xiao Yu, send me your location right now. Also, make sure to protect the scene. I'm going to call Director Zhao for instructions. I'm afraid you've made a great contribution."

"Yes"

"toot"

The phone got busy.

Li Yu let out a long sigh, took out another cigarette and lit it.

In the east, the sky was already slightly brighter.

The darkness before dawn will not last long and will eventually be replaced by light.

A brand new day is coming.
