[You belong in hell, Matthew, Anmisu!]

[Is the news that Matthew was caught by a girl from our country true? Is she going to show up at the live-streaming session today?]

[Do you even need to ask? Of course she won’t. If she exposes her identity, those outlaws might come and seek revenge on her.]

[So where are those fans of Fu Zhi? Aren’t they saying that Fu Zhi’s the girl? Why are you all so quiet? Cat got your tongue?]

—

The netizens began arguing with each other even before the live-stream started.

The live-streaming session was held on a small training ground not far away from the police station.

Wang Rao drove Fu Zhi to the destination. Fu Zhi was sitting in repose with her eyes closed while Song Fang’s voice rang out from her phone.

“He Ming and the others didn’t leave too much homework for us, but Lao Fan asked us to write an essay..

“It’s about a girl from our country helping the Myanmar police department capture Matthew. I’m sure you’ve heard about it since you’re in Myanmar right now. Fan Gaoda wants us to write an 800-word essay to praise her heroic act.”

Fu Zhi was stunned.

‘An 800-word essay? To praise me?’

She fell silent. Well, it was an easy task to produce an 800-word essay. It was just that she could not bring herself to write the essay and praise herself.

On the other side of the phone, Song Fang waited for a long while, yet Fu Zh did not say anything. Piqued by curiosity, he asked, “Why aren’t you speaking? What are you doing?”

“Digging my own grave,” Fu Zhi replied, leaving Song Fang speechless.

“Ha ha, that’s funny. Anyway, you have to put effort into this essay, as Fan Gaoda said he’s going to check your essay himself. You have to try to understand the selflessness and bravery behind her heroic action. You have to put yourself in her shoes. After all, not anyone could bring themselves to go up against a criminal who has been toying with the International Crimes Squad and making them look like fools for years! Do you know how proud we all are?”

“Did it ever occur to you that she might have caught Matthew for her own selfish reasons?” Fu Zhi asked.

“How is that possible?!” Song Fang shouted.

“The news reported that she doesn’t know Matthew at all. If it weren’t for world peace, why would she have risked her life doing what police officers are supposed to do?”

“Perhaps she did it for a cup of milk tea?”

Song Fang was speechless.

“Do you think everyone is like you?”

It was recess time in No.1 High School. Song Fang had put the call on loudspeaker, so everyone in the class could hear their conversation clearly.

Wang Yu and the rest of the students broke into a big fit of laughter when they heard what Fu Zhi had said.

“Sister Zhi, I understand that you hate writing essays, but how can you make light of her heroic act?”

“That’s right, Sister Zhi. Although I’ve never seen her before, the universe is telling me that she’s the right girl for me, so you must not talk bad about my future wife!”

“Holy... I didn’t know you’re into this type of girl, Fatty. I heard from my friends in Myanmar that the girl who captured Matthew is a muscle queen. She is about 190 centimeters tall and weighs nearly 200 pounds. When she sits down, the entire room will shake!

“I also heard that she’s a person of mixed race. She has the blood of a panda, a honey badger, and a husky flowing in her veins! Otherwise, how else could she have defeated Matthew?”

Where there were people, there was gossip, and where there was gossip, there had to be exaggeration.

In the end, Wang Yu asked Fu Zhi, “Sister Zhi, do you think what we say makes sense? action

“While the others are writing an essay about a folk hero bringing down an outlaw, maybe you can start from her imposing body figure and her superb fighting skills!”

Fu Zhi was stunned.

‘Do you think you’re funny?’

“Stop making fun of her. She’s our heroine,” Song Fang said. Then, he asked Fu Zhi, “When are you coming back, Sister Zhi?”

“In two more days.”

After all, she did not have anything else to do there, so she could go back to Yu City at any time.

There was quite a distance between the police station and Mount Qiu Ling.

“The entire Class 21 looks dead without you, Sister Zhi. Do you know how much we’ve missed you? We didn’t realize it when you were here, but once you left, we realized that you’re the most essential member of our class!” Song Fang said.

Fu Zhi was touched.

Then, he added, “After all, Fan Gaoda and the other teachers only focus on you when you’re in the class. Now that you’re not here, they’ve all targeted us.”

Fu Zhi was speechless.

‘I’m sorry for causing you guys so much trouble.’

“Oh, the live-streaming session is about to start,” Song Fang said. “I need to hang up the call now. You should watch the session as well. I’m sure you’ll be able to get something from the live-streaming session and use it for your essay!”

Fu Zhi was bereft of speech.

Before Song Fang hung up the call, she heard Wang Yu say something.

“See! I told you that she’s a muscle queen. Look at Matthew. He’s so brawny and big, so how could a little girl beat him to a pulp?”

“Fatty, maybe your goddess is even taller and larger than you.”

“Her size is not the main problem. I’m just worried that you might end up like Matthew. Beaten to a pulp by her.”

“Really? I never thought of that... Maybe I should reconsider making her my wife,” Fatty said. “Although I’m a man, I still have to protect myself.”

Fu Zhi did not know what she should say.

‘I’m sorry, but there’s no way I’m going to marry you.’

In the meantime, outside of the police station...

Both Matthew and Anmisu were sitting in a car with their hands cuffed. Their faces were dark, and they looked like two beasts that were about to pounce on their prey.

Matthew rolled his eyes and glared at the camera.

Beside him, Anmisu tugged on the cage hard with his hands.

“Humiliating! This is humiliating! How could they do this to me?!” He growled as he stared at Fu Yuan, who was standing not far away.

Unlike the usual interviews of the past, he saw quite a lot of new faces this time. Some of them were from China, while the others were from Country M and Country R. There were about 30 of them, and it seemed like everyone had gathered there for the live-streaming session.

—

The bell rang, and it was time for physical education class. Fan Gaoda stepped into the classroom and said, “Your coach is sick, so we’re going to have language class today.”

As groans and sighs of disappointment spread across the students, Fan Gaoda turned around and opened the projector. “I’m not going to teach anything today. We’re going to watch the live-streaming session. After we watch it, I will perform an analysis of the criminal law that Matthew broke and the greatness of our country’s hero. Song Fang, you will then send my words to Fu Zhi on tape.”

Song Fang nodded.

Then, the live-streaming session started.

The first one to get interviewed was a representative from Country M. “I was a survivor of the Equinox Flower case. A month-long period of abuse nearly wore down my humanity, as Matthew brutally murdered the victims I lived with, cut off their flesh, and forced us to eat it.”

The man suddenly paused. His eyes were red around the rims as the terrible memory of being held hostage by Matthew surfaced in his head. His entire being was shaking profusely, and it took a lot of time and encouragement from his family for him to continue. “When I was first rescued, I didn’t even have the courage to step out of my house. I locked myself up in my room, as I felt like everyone was going to harm me. I did terrible things for their persecution, and I couldn’t live until the news that Matthew and Anmisu had been arrested came out and I finally had the courage to stand in front of the court and name their crimes.”

“Yes.” A few of the other survivors nodded their heads. “We didn’t have the courage to come forward because we were afraid that they would come after us again. We used to think that we’d have to live the rest of our lives in fear and darkness, but now that Matthew and Anmisu have gone into jail, we know that there’s still justice in this world and we can finally walk under the sun without having to worry about our lives anymore!

“I heard on the news that it was a Chinese girl who caught Matthew. Her bravery has inspired us. We hope we can say thank you to her in person.

“We won’t disclose her information to the public. We just want to express our gratitude to her in person. If possible, we hope that the girl will give us a chance...”

As he was talking, he waved the flag in his hand. There was a line written on the flag that said: “Folk Hero, An Angel From Heaven.”

This was the private, unspoken agreement reached by this group of victims after going to court to identify Matthew and Anmisu.

Following their rescue, although they had recovered from their injuries, the scars in their minds and hearts had not been able to heal that easily.

Some of them had gotten depressed because of this case, while others had gotten so paranoid that they felt that everyone was going to harm them. There was also a group of them who had committed suicide the next day because they could not walk away from this, and the ones who had caused this were none other than Matthew and Anmisu!

—

It had only been 30 minutes since the live-streaming session had started, yet the mysterious Chinese girl, whom the police and the media had not named extensively to protect her, reached the forums of various countries with unstoppable momentum.

Countless people from around the globe were talking about her.

Fu Yuan and the police officers went to make the survivors settle down. Then, to prevent Fu Zhi from getting recognized, Fu Yuan asked her to wait on the training ground for them.

It was at that moment that changes and riots began to take place.

Everyone could clearly see a bullet pierce the window of the car through the camera.

Dust lifted in the air. Some of the reporters hastily paused the live-streaming session, while some of them got down to take cover but continued the live-streaming session.

[What is going on? Am I watching a war movie?]

[Holy... What the hell is happening?]

[I can’t see anything clearly! Is everyone alright?]

...

When the dust slowly dissipated, Fu Yuan was being held at gunpoint.

There were a few outlaws from the Phantom Lord standing behind Matthew and Anmisu.

Fu Yuan surmised that they must be the people Matthew had organized to save Anmisu. It was just that Matthew had not expected that he would get caught several days before he could save Anmisu.

Fu Yuan raised his head and looked at Anmisu.

“What are you looking at?” Anmisu grinned coldly.

“This is not fair,” Fu Yuan said.

Anmisu grabbed him by the back of the collar and said, “Do you know that you’re being held at gunpoint right now?”

“So? I dare you to let me go and go for my niece. Even if you split yourself into four, I’m sure she will beat you to a pulp in no time!”

“Are you sure I’m not the one who’ll beat her to a pulp?” Anmisu snarled.

“My niece has a bad temper!”

“I’m a f*cking killer!”

“My niece’s name is Fu Zhi.”

Thud.

Before Anmisu could say anything in return, Matthew dropped to his knees when he heard the name and muttered, “Please... Please don’t hit me... This was not my idea. I didn’t want to break out of jail... Please... Please forgive me...”

“What the hell is going on with you?” Anmisu kicked Matthew. “Pull yourself together. You guys go first. I will stay back and hold them off.”

Then, Anmisu shouted, “If you guys want this man to live, ask the girl who caught my brother to come out! I want her to kneel in front of my brother and apologize to him!”
