Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Does This Mean She Can’t Be Saved?
"Hey? What happened to the internet? Why is there no connection?"
In just a short while, some people had already started live streaming, but as soon as the stream began, they realized there was no internet.
The person holding the phone to live stream looked anxious, still trying to connect to the network, while Chubby Chiu, who had blocked the network, hid his accomplishments and fame.
Because of Gu Zhiqi’s intervention, the middle-aged man’s rationality returned, and he finally noticed the situation around him.
His hand, which was gripping a brick, tightened as he looked at Gu Zhiqi, "You... what do you mean?"
Stopping him from killing the fraudster, yet having the fraudster caught.
Gu Zhiqi: "It’s not worth being charged with murder for a con artist."
The middle-aged man let out a bitter laugh upon hearing this, "Ha, my daughter is dying, what’s the point of living? Right now, I just want to cut him to pieces."
As the middle-aged man spoke, his gaze returned to the old man, and intense hatred erupted in his eyes.
Gu Zhiqi: "Just because she’s about to die, does that guarantee she can’t live?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man’s body stiffened, and he suddenly turned his eyes towards Gu Zhiqi, "What do you mean!"
"Do you have a way to save my daughter?" The middle-aged man seemed to find a lifeline, staring intently at Gu Zhiqi.
Before Gu Zhiqi could speak, the middle-aged man suddenly gave a self-mocking laugh, "How is that possible? The doctors said there’s no hope, how could you..."
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Gu Zhiqi interrupted him, "If you don’t want your daughter to wake up and find she has a father who’s a murderer, you’d better control yourself."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked up at Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t say anything more and released the man’s hand.
This time, the man stood still and didn’t act.
A few minutes later, the police arrived and took the old man, the middle-aged man, and Gu Zhiqi away.

After finishing their statements at the police station, Gu Zhiqi and the other two left.
The middle-aged man was temporarily detained for assault.
Before leaving, the middle-aged man glanced at Gu Zhiqi, "Young lady, back at the subway station, you said my daughter could wake up. Can she really?"
Though he didn’t believe it, he wanted to.
"When you get home, you can see a healthy daughter." With that, Gu Zhiqi left with Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao.
They had encountered someone with some Merit Points and hadn’t done their duty this month, so they decided to help him out.
After leaving the police station, the three of them took a taxi, first heading to the home of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man’s home was in the suburbs, in a very dilapidated building. Led by Gu Zhiqi, the three climbed a building where the corridor was very dark, piled with a lot of clutter on both sides.
Lv Yao followed closely behind Gu Zhiqi, speaking curiously, "Master Zhi, does that man’s home really here? How did you know?"
Jin Cenglv heard it and cast a slight glance at Gu Zhiqi, his eyes also filled with doubt.
Gu Zhiqi: "I guessed."
Jin Cenglv, Lv Yao: Do you think that’s believable?
Gu Zhiqi ignored the disbelief on their faces and stopped outside a door, then began to pick the lock.
Of course, she wouldn’t tell Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao that she knew the middle-aged man’s address because Chubby Chiu hacked the man’s phone.
Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao fell silent as they watched Gu Zhiqi blatantly pick the lock.
With a click, the lock opened.
Gu Zhiqi pushed the door open and entered the room, followed closely by Jin Cenglv and Lv Yao. As soon as they stepped inside, a musty smell hit them.
The room was very small, and stuffed with quite a bit of clutter in the already cramped space.
