Protagonist:

Su Mo

"Because Feng Yu Xiu used my junior sister to threaten me, he said that if I didn't come out and fight him, he would make a move against my junior sister. I can't let her get hurt; I must protect my junior sister well. I worried that if I explained everything clearly to you all, then you wouldn't need my assistance anymore, and I wouldn't be able to leave prison. I can't gamble my junior sister's safety."

"……"

Regarding Xiahou Wu's approach, Su Mo couldn't offer any evaluation.

For the sake of his junior sister, letting others pay with their lives—if viewed from a customer's perspective, Xiahou Wu was very selfish. But if this happened to him...

If someone used the life of the person most important to them as leverage, they would probably make the same choice as Xiahou Wu.

Xiahou Wu acted out of emotion; it could be understood.

But he knew and did not report it, which was against the law.

After a moment of silence, Su Mo's gaze fell on Lu Xuanxin.

Exactly how to judge Xiahou Wu also depended on Lu Xuanxin, the Chief Inspector of this case.

"So this is the reason why, even after guessing Feng Yu Xiu's intentions and even seeing someone die because of it, you still chose to remain unmoved and didn't tell us the truth?"

"What matters most to me is my junior sister; I must ensure her safety."

"Even if more innocent people die because of it, you think it doesn't matter?"

"Sorry, Officer Lu, I don't have your sense of righteousness. I know the most important person in this world is my junior sister; he is the one I will protect with all my might."

Xiahou Wu looked at Lu Xuanxin and said seriously.

This was what he truly thought in his heart; in his eyes, only his junior sister was most important.

"……"

"……"

The room fell into silence.

Xiahou Wu's words were very blunt.

After a moment of silence, Lu Xuanxin raised her head and looked at Xiahou Wu again.

After calming down just now, she also understood Xiahou Wu's difficulties. Putting herself in his shoes, she knew that for anyone, this matter would be very hard to choose.

But despite that...

Xiahou Wu's actions were wrong, and had even violated the law.

"Officer Lu."

At this moment, Xiahou Wu suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Xuanxin. "I indeed knew but did not report this matter, and even caused two people's deaths because of it. If I am to be given additional punishment, I have nothing to say; this is what I should bear."

"You just stay in prison for now. If needed later, the court will summon you. By then, as long as you tell the truth, the court will handle this matter fairly." Lu Xuanxin said in a deep voice.

"Officer Lu, my junior sister..." Mentioning his junior sister, a look of difficulty appeared on Xiahou Wu's face.

Lu Xuanxin looked at Xiahou Wu, who had already confessed, sighed, and continued, "Now that Feng Yu Xiu has been arrested, you don't need to worry about your junior sister's safety anymore. But your problem is serious. You knew but did not report it, and are suspected of harboring a criminal. Later, the court might add several years to your prison sentence."

"As long as my junior sister is fine, these are the retribution I deserve." Xiahou Wu lowered his head, his tone calm.

When Su Mo took out that letter, he had already guessed his own ending.

"It's enough that you understand yourself..."

Lu Xuanxin shook her head and finally advised, "When the court summons you later, have a better attitude; maybe it can reduce some of your charges."

"Thank you, Officer Lu."

Xiahou Wu lowered his head to thank her, then was taken away by the Prison Guard.

Su Mo looked at the somewhat distracted Lu Xuanxin and reminded her, "Sister Lu, shall we go too?"

"Mm..."

Lu Xuanxin sighed, then left together with Su Mo.

【Ding, Congratulations Reincarnator Jian Wu, completed Hidden Mission: The Truth Behind. The rewards obtained from the mission will be granted together after the Main Quest ends.】

"Hidden Mission?"

Su Mo's footsteps paused slightly, and a smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

Luck wasn't bad...

Just casually going to Stanley Prison to give Xiahou Wu a beating, and actually triggered a Hidden Mission.

……

……

A moment later, the two returned to the car.

Along the way, Lu Xuanxin drove, obviously somewhat absent-minded.

"Sister Lu, what's wrong? I see that ever since we left the prison, you've looked worried all the way. What exactly are you thinking about?" Su Mo looked at Lu Xuanxin.

After pausing for a moment, he guessed, "Is it because of Xiahou Wu? Sympathy?"

The power of the plot was truly strong...

Even though Lu Xuanxin and Xiahou Wu hadn't had much contact, she was still infected by Xiahou Wu's final confession.

"If you want to help—"

"No."

Before Su Mo could finish speaking, Lu Xuanxin shook her head and denied his guess.

"Xiahou Wu's current situation is of his own making; why would I sympathize with him?" Lu Xuanxin turned her head to look at Su Mo, and at the same time rolled her eyes widely.

I really don't know what he's thinking; how could he think I sympathize with Xiahou Wu?

Is this a joke……

"Then, Sister Lu, what matter is it because of?" Su Mo instantly grew interested, looking at Lu Xuanxin with curiosity. Simultaneously, in his heart he secretly thought: If it isn't because of Xiahou Wu's matter, what else could Lu Xuanxin be distracted by?

"I am thinking of Feng Yu Xiu — why would he do this?"

Lu Xuanxin pulled the car to the roadside, turned her head to look at Su Mo, "He killed people so that Xiahou Wu could redeem himself through meritorious service — equivalent to giving all the benefits to Xiahou Wu; not to mention he got nothing for himself, he also had to bear several lives. He and Xiahou Wu are neither relatives nor old acquaintances — why would he do this? This kind of thing has no bottom to it……"

Lu Xuanxin found it somewhat incomprehensible.

After hearing Xiahou Wu's explanation, she had been thinking about this matter all along the way.

But she still did not understand the reason Feng Yu Xiu did this.

Or rather, this fundamentally does not conform to a normal person's behavior.

"Because he is a martial fanatic, a person who for the sake of kung fu can abandon everything. He is also very pure — the purpose of doing all this is to challenge all experts, to become the current martial world's true Number One Under Heaven."

Su Mo paused for a moment, saying with emotion, "In his world there is only kung fu; besides that, nothing else exists."

"In this world, are there really such people?"

"Haven't you already seen one……"

Su Mo sighed deeply, evaluating: "Feng Yu Xiu is extremely obsessed with Martial Arts — don't look at his congenital physical disability, he still managed to cultivate a whole body of outstanding martial skill; this kind of person's perseverance far exceeds ordinary people. And now becoming the martial world's number one has already become his obsession, so he would think of every way to let Xiahou Wu come out of prison, to accept his challenge. Toward this kind of person, what he wants to do he must accomplish, no matter what price he has to pay."
