Chapter 347: I Love You (121)
The Chunjiang Bridge at night was less distinct, and Gu Lili and Ma Shijie gradually approached the entire length of the collapsed part by boat.
"You just mentioned that this matter must be dealt with. What approach will be taken?" Gu Lili voiced her doubts, "Should the person primarily responsible be sentenced?"
"This matter," Ma Shijie responded, "will be settled privately. Using live stakes is real, and it’s impossible to publicly disclose such actions, as you can imagine the kind of influence it would have on the public, which is not beneficial for maintaining law and order. They will come up with an excuse to explain the situation of the children, and make amends with apologies and compensation."
Gu Lili knew it would be like this, and she was also aware that many things could not be completely just, but if it weren’t for the coverage that amplified the influence, perhaps the victims’ families wouldn’t even receive this much.
Gu Lili looked from beginning to end but didn’t find the children’s souls, "I guess the Ghost Messenger has already taken them away."
No sooner had she finished speaking than her gaze landed on a green figure standing on the nearby river surface.
"Row the boat over there."
Ma Shijie hurriedly urged the boat rower, following her instructions.
As they drew closer, she then clearly saw the person on the river surface.
The face was completely rotten, with indistinguishable features, appearing as a woman with long hair tied back.
"Stop," she took the initiative to greet the woman in green, "Hello, were the souls of two children taken away by a Ghost Messenger?"
