Chapter 76: The Hidden Truth

The whole world knows that Bai Yuehu has dropped his vest, except for himself.

Bai Yuehu's obsession with the vest has left Lu Qingjiu standing next to him in silence, along with the little boy Bai Yuehu is holding in his hand.

After being taken aback by Bai Yuehu's reaction, the little boy let out a strange laugh, and then his body turned into countless dancing bees, breaking free from Bai Yuehu's grasp. Bai Yuehu's reaction was calm as he watched the spirit in his hands take form and run away.

The children were all crying from the dense insects, and the only adult had fainted on the ground. Bai Yuehu went over to the adult, who was wrapped in bees, and waved his hand. Almost every inch of the man's body was covered in red bumps, and the bee's tail stings could be seen on them, so it was clear that he was badly injured.

Although a few bee stings are not a serious injury in normal times, a large swarm of bees can really kill a person.

Lu Qingjiu took out his mobile phone and called 110 and 120, after which he went around the classroom to check if any children had been injured by the bees, but to his surprise, none of them had been stung. Those who had been injured had tripped over the corner of a table in a panic and had a bulging bump on their head, and were now crying and hugging their toys.

Lu Qingjiu quickly picked up the little boy and comforted him. By the time the ambulance came, the little boy had stopped crying, he was a cute little boy with a tiger's head and big eyes with tears in them.

"Good boy, it's all right, it's all right." Lu Qingjiu stroked his little head.

The doctor and nurse arrived on the fourth floor and saw the teacher on the floor. After a brief examination, they found that the teacher was in shock and if they had come any later, he would have been dead. Lu Qingjiu saw that there were many people there, so he put the children down and planned to leave with Bai Yuehu, as they had sneaked in, and if the police found out, they would be suspected.

It was a good thing that the whole kindergarten was in such a state of confusion at the moment that the two of them went out unnoticed. As they left, Lu Qingjiu noticed that the male teacher was not the only one who had been stung by the bees, but also other adults, but none of the children were hurt.

Clearly, those bees are purposefully choosing their stinging targets.

Leaving the kindergarten, Lu Qingjiu watched as the ambulance roared out and took the injured to the hospital, wondering if these people would survive the sting so badly.

"It's strange, what does he want" Lu Qingjiu said, "It doesn't look like an indiscriminate attack."

"Hmm." Bai Yuehu Hmmmed.

Lu Qingjiu said, "But once we get to the hospital, we should be safe."

Bai Yuehu said lightly, "That's not necessarily true, he's in charge of more than just the bees."

Lu Qingjiu: "It's not just the bees" he thought, feeling as if he had guessed the identity of the little boy just now, he said, "Is he in charge of all the stinging insects?"

Bai Yuehu said, "Yes, that's him."

The stinging insects are all those with poisonous stings on their tails, and the leader of the stinging insects is a creature called the pride, who in mythology is shaped like a young child and looks like a man, but whose only difference from humans is that he has two heads.

The pride bug governs all bee species, not just bees, but the more toxic wasps and all kinds of poisonous bees. To mess with him is to mess with the bees of the world.

When Lu Qingjiu found out about it, he was glad that his Qin Yuan was not related to the bees.

Although it sounds like a spirit monster, the Jiao Worm is actually a relatively rare mountain god that is still very powerful in battle. But why would such a mountain god strike at a kindergarten, which didn't hurt the children but scared them enough? Could it be that the people in the kindergarten did something to anger the Jiao Bugs Lu Qingjiu thought this was the only possibility.

They were discussing this when Hu Shu called Lu Qingjiu, who picked up and heard Hu Shu asking anxiously if they had gone to nursery today.

"Gone." Lu Qingjiu said, "We've just come out of it."

"Really," Hu Shu said, "So, Brother Lu, you saw the bees too."

Lu Qingjiu said, "I saw it."

Hu Shu said, "You're not hurt, are you?"

Lu Qingjiu said, "No, why?"

Hu Shu said, "Two people were stung in the garden, both teachers, and they are now in the hospital for resuscitation, saying that they are badly injured and they don't know if they can be saved."

Lu Qingjiu said, "No children were hurt, were they?"

Hu Shu smiles bitterly: "That's probably the only consolation, no children have been hurt so far"

Lu Qingjiu thought for a moment and said, "Officer Hu, are you hiding something from us?"

Hu Shu was silent on the other end of the line.

Lu Qingjiu said, "The bees have been here so many times, there should have been wounded before, why didn't you tell us or that the identity of the wounded was too special to tell"

Hu Shu was quiet for a while before he let out a long sigh, "You are right, it is true that there was an injured person at the beginning, but it was a very famous noblewoman who was injured and it was hushed up, not many people knew about it."

Lu Qingjiu frowned: "It was the noblewoman who was injured. What did she do?"

"We don't know what she's done." Hu Shu said. Hu Shu said, "She's still in a coma, and she's the one who got stung the hardest, so whether she'll survive or not is another story."

Lu Qingjiu said: "It's amazing that you haven't closed the kindergarten after such a serious accident," even though it opened only a few days ago.

Hu Shu said, "It was decided by the kindergarten's senior management, who said they wanted to find the culprit. According to Hu Shu, the director was determined that the culprit was human, so he wanted to find the mole and avenge the noblewoman. Lu Qingjiu's brow furrowed as he listened, the director was too irresponsible to put so many children in danger just to catch the killer.

Hu Shu's next words, however, did clear up some of Lu Qingjiu's doubts.

It turns out that the director is not the investor of the kindergarten at all, but has only been hired to be the director. The real investor is also very special, and is said to be a very famous financial tycoon whose assets are over 100 million dollars. According to Hu Shu's sources, it seems that the noblewoman and the investor had some kind of personal connection and the two seemed to be a couple. Seeing her lover injured, the man was very angry and was adamant that someone was out to get him.

Lu Qingjiu said, "So what are you going to do now?" Two more people had been injured and although the children were fine, the matter had become a big one and most importantly, the murderer had not been found.

"I don't know." Hu Shu laughed bitterly, "The pressure from above was already very high, this time it's going to be even more troublesome... Brother Lu, do you have any idea?"

"Not yet." Lu Qingjiu didn't give Hu Shu the slip, he always felt it wasn't that simple.

Hu Shu saw that nothing could be asked and hung up reluctantly.

Lu Qingjiu put down the phone and looked at Bai Yuehu, " Bai Yuehu, what should we do next?"

Bai Yuehu nodded and pulled something out of his pocket. Lu Qingjiu took a closer look and realised that it was actually a small bee that was still alive, with a black mist that seemed to have been deliberately left on it by Bai Yuehu.

Lu Qingjiu saw what Bai Yuehu was trying to do and said, "Let's follow."

Bai Yuehu said, "Yes." After he said this, he naturally reached out and wrapped his arms around Lu Qingjiu's waist, and then a black mist instantly enveloped them.

The bees did not seem to fly very far before they stopped. Bai Yuehu lowered Lu Qingjiu to the ground and the black fog lifted and Lu Qingjiu saw what was around him. They left the kindergarten and came to a small park near the kindergarten. The park seemed to be for children to play in, with lots of play equipment on the sand and lots of mothers with their pre-school children playing next to the equipment.

Bai Yuehu and Lu Qingjiu were standing among the trees, so that no one could see them.

"How did we get here?" Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised.

Bai Yuehu said, "He hasn't gone far." He sniffed, as if looking for the scent of a pride worm, "He's nearby."

Lu Qingjiu said, "It's still around, is there anything else he wants to do that he can find?"

Bai Yuehu shook his head, "I can only find the approximate range, his body is too small after his transformation and his breath is rather faint."

Lu Qingjiu said, "Then we

Wait here." He always felt that the pride bug had chosen this park for a reason, and what that reason was, he didn't know yet.

The two of them then found a stone bench in the forest and sat down, watching the surroundings while they waited.

But after waiting all morning, they hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary, the park was bustling with people coming and going, just like any other day.

Lu Qingjiu was getting hungry, so he went to the entrance of the park and bought a bag of snacks and a few grilled hot dogs, which he shared with Bai Yuehu.

The hot dog was quite tasty, salty and sweet, with crunchy bones inside, and the taste was very good. Lu Qingjiu simply went and bought another big bag of them, as the family had money anyway.

It's a nice day, the sun is warm on the body and Lu Qingjiu is fast asleep on the stone bench, but there's no movement there yet. But Bai Yuehu said that the scent of arrogant insects was still here, and nothing had changed.

Lu Qingjiu took a bottle of drink and opened a packet of melon seeds and slowly started to get high, pretending that he was on a spring trip to the park.

The two of them waited for a long time, until after 5pm, Lu Qingjiu had eaten enough and even slept on the stone table, but the worms did not respond. Just when Lu Qingjiu thought that the day might not end well, an unexpected figure appeared in the park, a little boy who had fallen and bruised his head in the kindergarten during the day and cried for a while in Lu Qingjiu's arms.

At five o'clock, the park was almost deserted, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the empty toy equipment, adding a touch of solitude to the place.

The little boy, carrying a small school bag, slowly made his way to a swing and sat down. The bag on his head had been treated, medicated and wrapped in gauze, but he still carried a small schoolbag on his back, which was bulging with something.

The child swung on the swing for a while, but his eyes fell on the surroundings, as if he was looking for something. Lu Qingjiu was worried because he was only five or six years old and there was no parent with him, so he wanted to ask him about it, but was stopped by Bai Yuehu.

"What," Lu Qingjiu asked.

Bai Yuehu shook his head, "Let's see."

When Lu Qingjiu saw Bai Yuehu's grave expression, he stopped moving and continued to watch with Bai Yuehu.

The boy swung on the swing for a while, making sure that no one was around, and then carried his little schoolbag into the bushes, with Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu following behind him. The black mist released by Bai Yuehu enveloped their bodies so that their breath would not leak out and their feet would not make a sound on the ground, so that they would not be noticed by others.

Lu Qingjiu thought at first that the child had come to play in the park, but he soon realised that the child had not come to play, but to look for something. His route was very purposeful and he was looking around, towards the trees and the grass.

Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu follow behind the child, watching quietly.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the child's footsteps suddenly stopped under a tall pine tree. He looked up as if he had spotted something on the top of the tree, and after gazing at it for a moment, he actually suddenly opened his mouth and called out, " Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao ".

Lu Qingjiu, who was standing behind Xiao Jiao and watching covertly, immediately remembered the pride bug.

" Xiao Jiao, here I am." The little boy rubbed his little hand against the trunk of the tree and said, "Are you there?"

The man was clearly the proud insect that had escaped from Bai Yuehu during the day, except that he now looked no different from a human, and did not have two heads. Although he sounded very unhappy, the joy in his eyes was so obvious.

"I've come to bring you food." The little boy smiled happily, "They're all in hospital now."

"Hmph, that's what they deserve." The proud insect said, "I told you not to bring me food, but you still had to, I don't care if you bring me food."

The little boy just smiled a sweet smile, not minding his partner's tongue in cheek, as he pulled something out of his backpack that he had brought for his friend, which was actually a jar of snacks in a glass bottle. After pulling out the snack, the boy carefully opened the lid of the jar with his small hand and then handed it to the proud insect sitting next to him with his eyes bent.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat with me," Pride Bug asked, a little uncomfortably, as he took the snack.

"No." The little boy said, "I've eaten at home." He sniffled, but his voice inexplicably dropped, "Though mummy's not home again."

The proud insect looked at his expression and grunted again, "It's okay, those bad people are going to die, and when they do, no one will be able to harm you."

The little boy was only happy again when he heard this.

The atmosphere between the two children was so good that Lu Qingjiu couldn't bear to spoil it.

But Bai Yuehu was obviously not as gentle as Lu Qingjiu, as he took a step straight out of the grass, and the black mist around him rose up, forming a semi-circular shroud that enveloped them all.

The proud insect, who had been snacking happily, paled at the sight and was about to turn into a bee and flee, as he had done before, when he saw the bewildered little boy sitting next to him.

"Xiao Jiao, what is this?" the boy was a little scared.

The proud worm gritted his teeth and stopped directly between the boy and Bai Yuehu, he said angrily, "What the hell do you want by following me? I'm a mountain god, eating me is punishable"

Bai Yuehu said, "Not if you eat a mountain god who has killed a man."

The pride bug blanched.

The little boy listened in confusion to their conversation, and although he did not understand the exact meaning of the words, he did understand what Bai Yuehu was saying, and as he hugged the proud worm, he cried out, "Don't eat Xiao Jiao, he's a good worm"

Lu Qingjiu felt that he and Bai Yuehu had been turned into ruthless villains by this, he was a bit helpless and said, "Take it easy, we're just here to find out what's going on." He looked at Jiao Bu, "Why did you let out so many bees to hurt people who almost died?"

The proud insect said coldly, "Because they are all no good, of course."

"What's going on?" Lu Qingjiu felt sure that the boy had something to do with this.

"Oooo, oooo, oooo," the little boy cried in aggravation, tears falling from his big eyes and his cheeks puffed out like a soft bun, looking very cute as he said, "They, they stung me"

"Sting you" Lu Qingjiu was bewildered, "Who stings you?"

The little boy said, "Those bad people." He seemed to be afraid that Lu Qingjiu would not believe him, so he lifted up his shirt and turned around to reveal his back, "Le Le, it hurts." From the way he called himself, Le Le must be the boy's nickname.

Lu Qingjiu looked at the child's back and was shocked by the marks on his back. There were about a dozen small black holes on the child's back near his shoulder blades, most of which were already scabbed over and could not be seen unless one looked closely. Lu Qingjiu is also an adult and immediately understood what had happened when he saw the holes.

"Who did this" he said, "Even Lu Qingjiu, who was so good-tempered, couldn't help but curse, he said angrily, "These people are animals for doing this to a child"

Le Le was taken aback by Lu Qingjiu's expression and shrank back behind the proud insect.

The proud insect said angrily, "Can you talk properly, don't scare Le Le"

Lu Qingjiu: "I'm sorry" he immediately thought of the people who had been stung unconscious by the bees and said, "The ones you stung did it"

The proud insect said, "What else can I do? I'm a mountain god, so naturally I won't kill for no reason." He puffed up his chest proudly, but the snacks on his mouth made his words less credible, and instead made people look a little too cute. After he said this, he looked at Bai Yuehu again and muttered in a very unconvincing whisper, "It's not like some messy eaters."

Bai Yuehu smiled at him, showing two rows of white and straight teeth, "Really?"

The pride bug doesn't dare to say a word.

Lu Qingjiu walked over to Le Le, half crouched down at the wary eyes of the proud insect, helped Le Le straighten the clothes hanging from her waist, and then said in a warm voice: "Le Le, how long has this been going on? Why didn't you tell your mum and dad?"

"Mummy's busy." Le Le hung her head, " Le Le hasn't seen Daddy for a long time."

Seeing the boy's sad face, Lu Qingjiu couldn't help but stroke his head: "And when did you meet Xiao Jiao?"

Before the boy could say anything, Pride Bug said, "I've known him for ages, he comes to the park every day after school and rambles on to a nest of bees."

The boy said, "Wow, so Xiao Jiao is hiding in the beehive... didn't you tell me you were hiding in a tree?"

The pride bug muttered, "It's not that you're afraid of bees."

The little boy laughed, "I'm not afraid of bees, I like Xiao Jiao best." He said and came over and gave the proud insect a kiss on the cheek.

The pride bug's ears instantly reddened, but he still had to pretend to be angry and scolded the young boy, "I told you not to mess around with your relatives you do that again and I'll ignore you."

Le Le also just listens, apparently certain that the pride bug won't really be angry, and giggles.

Lu Qingjiu said, "That's why you put the bees in the nursery, but you didn't do a good enough job, so many bees can cause panic.

The pride bug got angry at that, "I thought you said you weren't afraid of bees"

The boy's expression was extraordinarily innocent as he explained in a whisper, "I wasn't afraid, but I thought Xiao Jiao had been swallowed by a bee, so I got anxious and"

Pride Bug: "You big dummy"

The conversation between the two sounded like two children, and the arrogant worm, who obviously had little social experience, looked a little more childish than Le Le, so it was no wonder that he had made such a big move.

Bai Yuehu, clearly still holding a grudge, raised an eyebrow, "Just eat it all."

Before Lu Qingjiu could say anything, Le Le was crying out in fear, and Jiao Worm was so angry that he almost started at Bai Yuehu. Lu Qingjiu then realised that it wasn't two children here at all, but three of his vixens who were no more mature.

The author has something to say: Lu Qingjiu: Bai Yuehu How old are you anyway?

Bai Yuehu: Are you going to feed me before I'm weaned?

Lu Qingjiu.
