Chapter 1578: We Will Not Wrong a Good Person

"How can I believe what you say?" Chuan Naizi stared at Chen Yu, somewhat incredulous.

"If you don't believe me, then don't ask. I have no obligation to force you to believe my words," Chen Yu said with a helpless shrug. "So there is no need for you to keep chasing me and pressing me about these matters."

Chuan Naizi stared into Chen Yu's eyes, as if trying to see through to his heart, but after looking for a long time, she could not see anything unusual about Chen Yu, so she had to give up helplessly: "Fine, I believe you have nothing to do with this matter."

"I never had anything to do with this matter to begin with," Chen Yu shook his head with some helplessness. "As expected, one cannot even do good deeds, because once you do a good deed, you immediately become a suspect."

"We will not wrong a good person," Chuan Naizi snorted.

"You won't wrong a good person?" Chen Yu glanced at her and remained silent. Regarding Fusang, he truly could not manage to have even a shred of hostility, even knowing that the woman before him was not a bad person.

"Please don't always look at me with that kind of gaze. I admit that our ancestors committed wrongs, but that is the hatred of that era. Besides, my mother is herself from Huaxia," Chuan Naizi said.

"You are mixed-race?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. Being of the same Asian ethnicity, he truly could not tell.

"Yes, so otherwise, why do you think I would not deny the wrongs committed by Fusang?" Chuan Naizi said somewhat helplessly. "I have always faced history squarely and respected every person from Huaxia."

"Very well, let's not discuss this issue for now," Chen Yu said helplessly. "Let's continue with the previous question. The problem of the Heart-Eating Ghost is very serious; this matter is not something you can solve. Unless your high-level officials in Fusang show themselves, otherwise..."

Chen Yu stopped there and did not continue. He did not want to say too much; as for the rest, he would let her fill in the blanks herself.

"What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?" Chuan Naizi had already believed a portion of Chen Yu's words, for no other reason than a woman's intuition, so she felt that what Chen Yu said was not necessarily all false.

"I don't have evidence, but I can go and look with you," Chen Yu said. "I don't know what state this Heart-Eating Ghost is in now, but with his awakening, there will definitely be other monsters appearing."

"Don't be an alarmist." Chuan Naizi's brows furrowed involuntarily. In her view, this was a peaceful and prosperous age, and she could not agree with what Chen Yu said.

"I am not being an alarmist," Chen Yu shook his head. "Regarding these matters, they are all very serious affairs."

Chuan Naizi was somewhat silent. She believed what Chen Yu said because, with problems occurring one after another over these past few months, many things had already become uncontrollable existences. However, the high-level officials had no response to these matters, so she did not know how to evaluate this situation.

"Alright, I also know that these things might be hard for you to accept for a while," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "If you don't believe me, I cannot force you to believe, so let's wait and see. Within the next week, more similar incidents will occur."

"If it is as you say, why do our high-level officials not react to this in a timely manner?" Chuan Naizi steadied herself and asked.

"That I don't know. Why they don't react in a timely manner, they must have their own considerations. As for what considerations they have, I am not clear," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "In any case, the high-level officials here have a way of thinking that makes one feel it is inexplicable."

"Then... can you help me?" Chuan Naizi looked at Chen Yu with anticipation. She knew that this matter could not be completed by herself, and only the man before her could have a way.

"I don't have this obligation, do I, Miss Chuan?" Chen Yu smiled and said. "This matter was originally your own business. I kindly reminded you, which is already doing my utmost. I also don't want to intervene in your private affairs, so I'm sorry."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he stood up to leave. Chuan Naizi hurriedly followed: "Chen Yu, you are a person who possesses ability. There is a good saying in Huaxia: the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Since you have encountered this matter, you cannot sit by and ignore it."

"Don't try to provoke me with these words either," Chen Yu smiled. "My responsibility and ability are for those worth protecting, not for you. Even if I am not hostile toward you now, there are some things I still will not intervene in, so don't waste your efforts."

"You..." Chuan Naizi was both anxious and angry. She stamped her foot heavily and watched helplessly as Chen Yu left.

Just at this moment, Chen Yu suddenly stopped his footsteps. He turned around, his gaze like lightning, looking at a person wrapped entirely in a black robe.

This person was short, less than 1.4 meters tall, but moved extremely strangely.

"What's wrong?" Chuan Naizi's intuition was indeed very accurate. She quickly discovered that Chen Yu's gaze was off. She was slightly startled and subconsciously reached toward her waist, pulling out her gun.

"That person is not right," Chen Yu's brows were tightly locked. "There is a bloody smell on his body, and also a corpse stench."

"Stop..." Before Chen Yu could say not to alert the enemy, Chuan Naizi directly pulled out her pistol and chased after him.

The short person's body stiffened and he stood on the spot. Chuan Naizi held the gun with both hands and pressed forward. She said sternly: "Raise your hands and open your mask."

"Isn't that contradictory?" Chen Yu was somewhat dumbfounded. Once you have someone raise their hands, how are they supposed to open their mask?

Chuan Naizi was indeed nervous, and her speech was somewhat incoherent. However, she ignored Chen Yu's disdain and just moved her feet forward, closing in on this short person, reaching out to lift his mask to see his true face clearly.

"Careful, back away." Chen Yu's eyelids twitched; he had a premonition that this guy was about to attack.

The moment Chen Yu called out, Chuan Naizi hurriedly retreated, but it was still a step too late. The short person suddenly flicked his robe, and a gust of wind whistled over, heavily blowing Chuan Naizi away.

Chen Yu stepped forward quickly, backhanded her waist, and set her down.

After the short person repelled her, he moved forward rapidly, turning into a black shadow, and darted toward the basement floor of the shopping mall.

This guy definitely had secrets. Chen Yu pursued relentlessly. Chuan Naizi, after landing, gritted her teeth and also chased after him. After all, this might be her only lead; she could not let this lead run away.

Stumbling to the elevator entrance, she chased after him frantically, but there was no longer any sign of Chen Yu or the short person before her eyes.
