Chapter 216: Chapter 216 - Poor again

Eric stayed in the investigation room for what seemed like forever. He never uttered a single word, even when the cops threatened him or when they tried the soft cop/hard cop method. He never spoke. Because his story was so unbelievable. No one with normal logic would believe him. Especially the cops. They would think he was some kind of loon.

Sighing, he walked out of the interrogation room. Outside, waiting for him, was this taller, middle-aged man. From Eric’s height, he looked like a towering mountain. The mountain-like man introduced himself as Guan tan, a lawyer hired for him.

As he looked up, the man looked down at him simultaneously. His unique eye color caught his attention. The man had grey-green color pupils with a thick set of lashes. Other than that, his facial features were quite normal.

but that was not the most eye-catching feature in his body.

The man had that golden yang energy and some black energy around him. Unlike Bai Yuri’s energy, which was being suppressed by yin energy. This guy’s two energies somehow coexisted in his body. They were both in equilibrium.

"You’re unsettled... it’s the eyes, right? My mother is French..." Guan awkwardly whispered, scratching his head. It had been a while since someone had taken a deep look at his face like that. It was quite unnerving for him. Especially when the person looking at him was a young, handsome teenager. The boy had the deepest black eyes he had ever seen. It made his heart pound in his chest. Even in the sunlight, he could barely see a shadow in there. They looked unnervingly beautiful. He couldn’t look away.

Eric wordlessly peered at the surrounding aura. "you’re a weird person...." he whispered softly.

Unknown to him, Guan heard his mumble. He paled and started to sweat. ’He is a teenager!! heart stop beating so fast!!!’ he touched his chest, ordering his heart to stop acting up.

Eric tilted his head confusedly looking at his weird gestures. "Are you okay?"

"y-your brother is waiting for you at the restaurant. This way." He led him out of the police station.

Along the way, Eric could feel the cold gazes falling on him. Loud whispers passed around "is he the murderer?" "Isn’t he too young..." "he looks handsome..."

so many more words that made him feel so.... Insecure.

He just wanted to shout out loud that he was innocent. that he as the victim... he did not mean to kill him, that it was an accident.

Back in his previous lives, he had killed a few people. But he never had to face such a consequence for his actions.

"don’t mind them," Guan shielded him with his big frame and pulled him over to a nearby small restaurant. Inside Eric saw his brother was having a chat with a brutally beaten Lai.

Seeing Lai’s face Eric paused for a second.

Haolei instantly got up, ran to him, and gave him the tightest hug. "we will win this Case. I will never let anything happen to you Jung.," he whispered softly into his ears.

Heating this all the tension in his shoulders melted away. Eric hugged him back silently sobbing. "I want to see my Yuri..."

Looking at the situation he did not have much hope he could get arrested any time. If he did, he could be sentenced to one or two years in jail, and all the while his lover would still be in a coma. The longer one’s body is in a coma, the worse their condition becomes. He knew that. He did not want Bai Yuri’s body to deteriorate. the organs would stop working one by one....

in some cases, the comatose patients might even lose mobility in their legs and hands.....

Eric felt his heart lurch at the thought of Yuri in that situation.

Eric hurriedly clung to Haolei’s arms. "Can we go see him please?" He begged him, with tears in his eyes.

Haolei did not say anything. He simply wiped away his tears. "I’ll take you there after a week. Is that okay?"

Eric shook his head panickily. "no, I have to see him right now.... What if I get send to jail... he will be left to sleep for a long time, I can’t have that... please brother," he clung to his arm.

Haolei tightly hugged him. "shhh... calm down. Ill take you to see him...right now you have to regain your energy,"

he led him over to a small iron chair and sat him down. In front of him on the table were two bowls covered in tin foil.

"I didn’t want it to get cold." Haole hurriedly removed the foil and handed the chopstick to his hand. "Eat, didn’t you say you were hungry? Those beasts, they didn’t even allow me to send you food. Fuck I just wanted to punch them in the face,"

still, sobbing Eric chowed down the noodles. "they are monsters..... I don’t like cops..." Eric whimpered softly.

Haolei froze. "n-not all cops are bad.... I’m a good cop."

Eri instantly glanced up glaring at the stupid guy sitting in front of him.

Lai guiltily looked at him and then weirdly so he kept glancing around shivering. "is it just me or did this place get awfully chilly."

Eric openly ignored his annoying voice and ate his noodles.

{’you’ve completed the daily task~ the reward of ten coins has been credited to your account.’}

Eric lowered his eyes slightly. ’What about my account balance? How many coins to I own.’

{’coin balance: 66,}

Eric froze. ’How did it get that low?!! You chatting system!! You are deliberately charging me for random things!!!!!’

{sigh you... you spend so much. Let me show you the account. You used astral projection 15 times, so the cost of it is 240 coins. Next, you brought an all-powerful healing solution, which cost 50 coins, then you brought calming crystal worth 30 coins. the rakshasa dagger was 50 coins. In total, you’ve spent 370 coins. The last time I calculated your balance it was 426. subtracting that you’ve got 56, plus ten coins your reward for daily tasks.}

’you’re saying I don’t have enough balance to buy a calming crystal.....’

{’yeah technically you’re poor again, congratulations ~ Ah, you spendthrift you could have saved your coin on the communication aspect but you had to talk to him twice a night. tsk, tsk, tsk, You lovers are so hard to understand.’}

Eric gritted his teeth silently as he licked the sauce residue off the chopstick. He mentally calculated how long it will take for him to earn back those coins.

He just needed a few twenty or so coins. So if he did his daily tasks diligently he might be able to earn enough to buy both the healing liquid and the calming crystal.

’fine, I’ll be patient and wait for a week before seeing Yuri.’

{’and you shouldn’t contact him too. Host, you’re dirt poor. If you waste your coins on astral projection again, you will end up in the ditch... tsk tsk...’}

"yea fucker I’m aware.’ Disheartened Eric glanced up at the ceiling. He had so much to deal with now.. in this week’s time, he planned to sort out all his personal problems and then meet his lover with a carefree smile on his face.

’yes, I’m going to do that.’

after he was done with his bowls of noddled Guan scooted a bit closer.

"Jung shi... can you tell me what happened at that house? You have to be very specific and have to tell e the entire truth. I will help you out with all my power." His lawyer said to him.

Eric nodded. "but can I trust you? my story.... might be unbelievable."

"trust me I have dealt with so many cases in my profession. nothing can surprise me,"
