Chapter 68: Who Gave You Permission to Act on Your Own?

"Wife, did Croft come looking for us?""Wife, wait for me! I’ll be back soon!"

On the phone, Lu Cheng seemed to hear Galen rushing out the door.

"Sigh..."

She wanted to say something more, but the call was already disconnected from the other end.

Lu Cheng was dumbfounded, "Man... it seems to be true..."

"This person actually exists!"

How could it be so coincidental?

Could it really be a warning from the heavens?

"No matter if it’s real or not, do you still remember the appearance and tattoos of those kidnappers?"

"I know the tattoos..." Lu Cheng quickly grabbed a pen from the table and wrote down the numbers corresponding to the tattoos!

"I remember their appearance, but I can’t draw..." Lu Cheng looked at Yu Man anxiously.

"It’s okay, my Atier can draw. I’ll call him over to help you sketch it out!"

Aside from being socially awkward, Atier was almost a genius.

He could handle both social and domestic tasks, trade stocks, invest, and draw beautifully. Famous artists even wanted to buy his work.

"Okay! Okay!"

Remembering Atier’s skills, Lu Cheng quickly nodded!

Atier was also from Jiuzhou University, and he was quite famous during his time at school.

"Wait! Don’t leave me here alone! I want to come along too!" Lu Cheng tugged on Yu Man’s clothes and followed behind her.

Yu Man walked out and knocked on Atier’s current room.

In the room, Atier was curled up in the shape of a small panda, sleeping in a corner of the bed.

Upon hearing the knock, he immediately transformed back into human form, threw on a robe, and went to open the door.

"Wife? Why are you up so early?" Atier noticed the dark circles under Yu Man’s eyes, "Wife... what’s happened to you?"

"And Lu Cheng..." Atier looked blankly at the distressed Lu Cheng.

"Wife, did something happen?"

"Atier, I need a favor..."

Shang Yuan, who was always alert, quickly heard the commotion and came out of his room.

Old father Zelda, who had been tormented by his two sons all day, also came out yawning. He scratched his head, barely able to open his eyes.

"Wife?" Shang Yuan looked at Lu Cheng in confusion.

"Shang Yuan!" Lu Cheng’s red lips moved, and she turned to throw herself into his arms.

"Shang Yuan! I had a nightmare!" Lu Cheng recounted her dream to Beast Husband.

"Wife, dreams are the opposite of reality, there’s nothing to worry about!" Shang Yuan comforted Lu Cheng as he hugged her.

"No! It’s not just a simple dream!" Lu Cheng pouted, "I just called Galen, and he actually knows someone named Croft."

How could she not be suspicious?

"Atier, I’m going to describe the faces of those bandits to you, and you help me draw them all!"

As long as she drew their faces and verified the tattoo numbers, she would find out whether it was all mere coincidence or a real warning sent to her!

She originally thought about checking the numbers against high-profile criminals, but she worried that her Beast Husband might not believe her, thinking she had seen those criminals and subconsciously filled in the blanks!

Let alone Beast Husband, she might also think that way!

So, she first needed to get the drawings ready! Then, use the sketches for comparison!

Of course, if it all turned out to be her imagination and the numbers were wrong, it would all be a false alarm, and everyone would be relieved!

"Okay, I’ll help you draw." Atier took out a pencil and paper and started drawing based on Lu Cheng’s descriptions...

As soon as he finished the first sketch, Galen already rushed back in his car.

"Wife!" Galen hurriedly opened the door and immediately hugged Lu Cheng, checking her up and down, "Wife, are you okay?"

"Did someone from Croft come to give you trouble?" Galen’s face was slightly pale, and his forehead had some bluish-purple marks.

"No..." Lu Cheng stared at the injury on Galen’s head, lightly touching it, "What happened to you? Does it hurt?"

Galen shook his head, "On my way back, I was in too much of a rush, and the car accidentally hit the roadside flowerbed..."

Lu Cheng was really furious, "Can’t you be more careful? You seriously... driving yourself to death!"

"Shang Yuan, go get him some medicinal wine to rub it!" Lu Cheng softened, worried about Galen’s injury, "How about it, is there anywhere else hurt?"

"No, no problem." Galen held Lu Cheng’s hand, "Wife, in your call, you mentioned Croft. Did he send someone to warn you? Were you hurt?"

Lu Cheng shook her head, "No, no such thing!"

"Then why..." Galen looked puzzled.

She pushed Galen away, with a stern face said: "First tell me, who exactly is Croft? Is it because of him that you want a divorce?"

"I..." Galen avoided her gaze.

"At this point, you’re still not confessing?" Lu Cheng stood up, "You really want to wait until I’m dead to speak?"

Galen turned pale, feeling extremely flustered, "Wife! Don’t talk like that! Is someone threatening you..."

"I’m talking to you about Croft right now!" Lu Cheng glared at him.

Galen slumped his shoulders, "Wife... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you."

At this point, Galen had no choice but to confess everything.

As a lawyer, he didn’t typically care about the fees, sometimes helping those who were unjustly treated but couldn’t afford legal services.

"Last month, I took on a case..."

Galen had never expected that trying to put a rapist in prison would result in the witness dying and the victim going insane...

It was then that he realized, this case wasn’t as simple as it seemed, and there were hidden shadows lurking.

Eventually, the person he sent to prison was released, and the so-called ’real criminal’ was incarcerated.

He couldn’t believe it and started desperately looking for evidence. But as soon as he found new evidence, he received a warning...

"The more I investigated, the more I discovered that behind Croft were numerous underground industries, including those that couldn’t see the light of day."

Galen lowered his eyes, "I didn’t want to give up, but I also didn’t want to drag my wife into this."

"So you wanted to divorce me?" Lu Cheng’s face flushed with anger.

"I..."

"Hmm?" Lu Cheng gave him a warning look.

Galen had nothing to say, daring not to lie to Lu Cheng any further, "Yes..."

Lu Cheng was so mad her teeth were itching! "Who gave you the right to decide for yourself!"

Galen dared not look at Lu Cheng, "Wife is an SS-level Purification Master, I thought if I divorced her, no one would dare bother her."

They would surely fear her credentials.

"Wife! How exactly did you know about Croft? Did he..." Galen anxiously grasped Lu Cheng’s hand.

"No." Lu Cheng said expressionlessly, "I just dreamed of that name."

"Ah?" Galen was stunned.

Then, he suddenly caught sight of Atier’s drawings and his face changed!
