Trafford’s Trading Club

“Everything is my fault.”

Lui Hai didn’t seem like the boss of the resort at that moment. He admitted his guilt, looking at everyone. As if worrying about those who didn’t hear clearly, and impressing those who understood.

Luo Qiu didn’t think he’d forget the current face of Lui Hai.

He was degage, calm and firm.

A slight hint of surprise flashed across Secretary Wu Qiushui’s face, but he suddenly thought of the village legend. Vaguely, he combined two things together.

He realized the cause and effect quickly, “Why did you do this, Lui Hai?”

Officer Ma frowned, he wouldn’t believe anything easily unless there were enough pieces of evidence to prove it.

Since the beginning when Lui Hai came in, the villagers’ look turned slightly different. They knew someone called Lui Hai but no one knew him well.

He settled in his old house at the hillside and seldom walked down to the village. He went to the sea to fish alone using a boat and planted in the cropland at the back of the resort to support his family. He only entered the village when he lacked necessities for daily life.

Since Luo Aiyu came here, these works had been shifted to her.

The ones who seldom met Lui Hai had an impression that this man always had a mussy mustache, along with a stronger smell of alcohol compared to the sea smell.

He was a drunkard.

Now, he became a criminal with a fierce look, looking like another person.

He opened his mouth.

He sneered, his look contained a slight hint of contempt. He looked around. Those who were seen felt frightened, lowering their heads.

“Why? No reason.” Lui Hai showed an indifferent face, “Just because the villagers almost forgot the evil they did and the conscientiousness they lost. I just mentioned it.”

“I… We did something wrong in that year but we were instigated by others. But you… but you…” a senior turned agitated, “If you want to get revenge, come to us old guys! Fight or kill us! But you even let all the members get infected with this disease!! It doesn’t have nothing to do with the children!”

Lui Hai sneered once more, “Then what did I do wrong 45 years ago? I had a good family, then what? You were instigated? So you think you’re innocent and continue to live here with your next generations, getting along with them, is that correct?”

“I… through these years, we, we never felt tranquil. Did you think that?”

“Then why did you sacrifice a living person to worship again?” Lui Hai disdained, “Listen, it’s ‘AGAIN’. You feel bad but committed that action again. Today, this morning, right here.”

“I… I will kill you!” That senior rushed out.

While Lui Hai yelled, “Get lost!”

That old man face turned pale out of fright, taking steps back continuously and collapsing finally.

Lui Hai swore loud, “Look! Look! This is the so-called uneasiness and not living peacefully! If you guys can’t win the argument, what will you do next? Violence! Yourself!”

A group of villagers couldn’t talk even half a word, lowering their heads. They really didn’t feel good now and couldn’t make a sound.

“Wait… Lui Hai, you said you spread the virus?” Wu Qiushui knew the history of this village, he found it weird and illogical, “How old were you 45 years ago? Then you mean you spread the virus that year too?”

Lui Hai said coolly, “Ask Lui Chaosheng, I took him here.”

Ma Houde frowned, tipping the young policeman gaze. Soon, Lui Chaosheng was taken in.

Both of his hands turned black. It appeared that he was pulled in instead of walking in himself.

Lui Chaosheng’s hair was almost wet with sweat. His eyelid drooped, looking very weak.

“Doctor Lui, do you get infected too?” Wu Qiushui talked with shock. He intends to get close but stopped after two steps due to fright. He asked, “Lui Hai said you know everything… what do you know?”

Lui Chaosheng lips moved, hesitating to speak.

While Lui Hai sneered, “Tell them what you did and tried to hide, Doctor Lui! Or you want me to say it?”

Lui Chaosheng glanced at Lui Hai in alarm, lowering his head, saying with a tremble, “That virus… I found it first…”

“What?”

“That’s impossible!”

All villagers had been startled by his words, throwing their gaze towards Lui Chaosheng. Everyone knew this doctor.

He studied medical science at a young age, then came back to the village. The small clinic saved countless people. Nobody believed that such a kind person was related to the virus… Did he discover it?

“You discovered it?” Ma Houde was stunned, asking curiously, “How old are you? And how old were you 45 years ago?”

“It’s… what I found after I finished my studies and came back.” Lui Chaosheng dared not look at the righteous Officer Ma.

“How did you discover it? Why?”

Ma Houde focused on another point— If it was a kind of virus that had existed since dozens of years ago in this remote place— it would be connected with many other issues and could cause big trouble.

“I, I… I’m… I…” Lui Chaosheng looked at Lui Hai, speaking with hesitation.

Lui Hai snorted, “You dare not say? Then let me tell him! That’s because you’re the love child of that old female immortal!”

Lui Chaosheng was the son of the Old Female Immortal Huang?

This bombshell shocked each villager, unbelievable! “Impossible! Chaosheng is my uncle’s son! I went to his one-month birth-banquet then! Lui Hai, don’t talk nonsense!”

Lui Hai snorted, “Let him tell you guys! Lui Chaosheng, if you don’t want to die, then stop stalling for time!”

Lui Chaosheng trembled, heading down, “I… I’m that woman’s son. That year, she gave birth to me in the room on the mountain. The grandson of the Seventh Grandpa didn’t cry, so he took him to my mother to conduct a religious rite to cure him. Then she interchanged us because she knew with her identity, and that she wasn’t married, and committed adultery with another man, she would lose everything. So…”

Lui Chaosheng looked at those seniors who helped him, suffering, “I can’t choose my life… I knew about this issue later.”

That senior was enraged, quivering, but still didn’t want to believe it, “Tell me! Who is that man, your biological father?!”

Lui Chaosheng lowered his head without talking.

When everybody focused on Lui Chaosheng, someone howled, “Grandpa A Bao, where are you going?”

One of Liu Hai’s hand grabbed A Bao’s collar, pulling him out and pushing down, with a snort, “Don’t you want to see your son get cured?”

The falling A Bao stood up with panic, sensing attacks from all sides.

He screamed, “Lui Hai!! Haven’t you have enough? You hurt the village and want to slander me now?!!”

“Are you going to deny it?” Lui Hai sneered, walking up and pressing him down, before tearing his clothes.

“You shameless brute!”

Grandpa A Bao’s clothes were torn. At the back, a green-and-black tattoo appeared! But it was wrinkled due to age. However, the outline was still clear— a ferocious ghost.

…

As the tattoo was seen, Lizi got a big surprise, “It’s… the ghost of jealousy!”

“You know it?” Ren Ziling gaped, asking Lizi.

Lizi nodded, saying restlessly, “Yeah… it’s a famous tattoo of the Japanese Imperial Army, especially those soldiers.”

“Ah…”

All at once, everyone gazed at Grandpa A Bao. Lui Hai sneered, “A Bao… Oh no! Takeru Sakai, what do you want to say?!”

Takeru Sakai face looked off-color, his eyes closed and he gave up struggling, lying on the ground but didn’t move.

“Japanese?!”

“Japanese?”

Everyone felt it incredible, “How could Grandpa A Bao be a Japanese?”

Lui Hai explained, “Japan sent some troops secretly to this area to conduct experiments before the World War II. And the disease is what the Japanese made in the labs, instead of a curse! I think many seniors know that. That time, some villagers disappeared at intervals. Later, others realized they were caught by the Japanese. The real Grandpa A Bao was taken away and died from torture. However, several years after, the secret base couldn’t be kept, so this guy brought the virus and escaped. He had a serious illness at that time, fled here and was found by that female immortal. She was not a good person, plus this guy promised to give her pieces of jewelry, so she hid him somewhere, and help him rest and recover for a long time. After the war, they discussed and decided that Takeru Sakai would live here using the identity of Grandpa A Bao… until now!”
