"Does that mean a bunch of factory workers who I thought were following me casually could be a part of a racket?"Mark doubted.
"No one follows some random person that too,casually."Akio replied.
"Could it mean they were paid to follow me?"
"Could be."
"I wish I could leave this country right now."Mark ranted.
Akio hovered his eyes towards Wang Xiu. She seemed disconnected.He went over to check what is wrong with her.She kept her eyes fixated upon the roof and kept on staring at nothing. Akio turned towards Mark.
"What is wrong with her?"He questioned.
Mark looked over Akio's shoulder at Wang Xiu. He asked her permission to narrate the incident.She signaled a clear 'no'.However,Akio noticed this.
"Wang Xiu,if there is anything wrong,you can tell about it to me.I helped you that day and I'll help you today also.It's Gu Ren yet again,isn't it?"
Wang Xiu had no stamina to talk.So,she gestured Mark to narrate the incident to Akio,which he sincerely did.However,after knowing the facts,Akio's fury now knew no bounds.
"This time,I'll make sure that he doesn't survive."He said as he rushed out and banged the door behind him.Even Mark did not stop him.Today,His fight was not interference.Rather,it was one for justice.Mark stood in the the balcony and watched Akio go,just like a brave warrior.
Akio reached the nearest police station.It was a few blocks away from the building,located in a narrow alley.It was only due thanks his GPS which could locate such a remote location.He barged into the police station and requested for an FIR to be reported.
A bulky officer came out of one of the cabins. Akio scampered to him and asked for his favor. He listened to Akio keenly,while noting down the important points.Suddenly,he got up.
"What is wrong officer?"Akio fretted.
"Can you go and get the victim?Make sure to bring all evidences along.Without that,we will not be able to continue the investigation ."
"OK..I'll be back."Akio said,barging out of the police station once again.He rushed to their house,brought Wang Xiu and Mark along.He reached the police station only to see something he did not wish to see,Gu Ren.
"You are screwed today!"Akio exclaimed.
"We'll see."Gu Ren gave a placid reply.
Gu Ren spotted the person who he had wild desires for.He was wearing the same jacket in which he saw him for the first time.Even after being dead-drunk,he could remember the feel of the scenario.The constant begging,he could hear it all again.
Akio entered the police station wherein he saw the same bulky officer munching a piece of You tiao."See this officer,he is the one who molested this person!"Akio yelled,gesturing towards Gu Ren.
However,his reaction was flatter than expected."Follow me."He said as he proceeded to the inner section of the police station.He led them through a narrow passage until they reached a closed chamber.The chamber was made of metal and had no windows.Only a door.
"You can go in."He said to enter.However,when Mark and Akio were entering,They were stopped from doing so.
Mark and Akio decided to sit on chairs,which lay randomly across the floor.Mark began to think.
"I can sense something wrong."Mark contemplated.
"What can go wrong?"Akio asked.
"Gu Ren knew Wang Xiu for more than ten years.It is impossible to mistake a person for someone else if you know them for more than ten years.Besides,when you were not there,Gu Ren visited our house and said he assaulted a man.However,anyhow he would come to know that the 'man' is actually a woman,if he actually did something like that."
Mark's eyebrows began to twitch and beads of sweat started dripping down his face.He knew that the police department would support Gu Ren. He was getting worried.Had he pushed Wang Xiu into deeper troubles?
