Chapter 486: Chapter 475: Fierce Ghost
Ye Qiu, Meng Huai, and Ling Xiao stood aside watching this former couple strangle each other.
Oh, what a splendid drama!
"Crazy woman, let go of me." Chu Cheng said fiercely, grabbing Song Jin’s hair.
"Chu Cheng, if I am to die, we’ll die together, it won’t be so easy to push all the blame on me," Song Jin bit down on Chu Cheng’s arm.
Ye Qiu watched coldly from the side, curious to what extent they could go.
The two of them went back and forth, neither willing to submit, revealing all the deeds they had done over the years.
For instance, how Chu Cheng planned to kill Ye Qiu, how Song Jin was jealous of Ye Qiu, and how they treated Xiao Ran — it was enough to make anyone listening angry.
"Trying to escape?" At some point, as the noisy duo moved to the door, Ye Qiu sneered and blocked their way.
"Tsk tsk, I thought you really fell out, but it was just a bluff, trying to seize the chance to escape? You think we are so foolish!" Meng Huai looked at them as if they were fools, truly a match made in heaven - a scoundrel and a vile woman, their vicious fight was just their delaying tactics.
"Enough of the act, now it’s my turn." Ye Qiu’s eyes turned blood red as she coldly gazed at them, and a black mist rose from her body.
Chu Cheng’s legs trembled, and he quietly hid behind Song Jin, who was holding Buddha Beads with a stiff expression, knowing the beads could harm Ye Qiu but unsure how long they could last. Mingming, she had secretly called the police, why had no one come yet?
"Someone is coming from outside." Ye Qiu suddenly turned back and said looking outside.
Song Jin and Chu Cheng’s faces lit up, only to see Ye Qiu looking at them with heavy irony: "Meng Huai, go intercept them for a while."
"No problem."
Hearing this, the faces of Song Jin and Chu Cheng turned pale, then they dashed heedlessly towards the outside.
"Where are you going?" Ye Qiu said ominously, as a dense ghost energy attacked the two.
"Don’t come over, don’t come over!" Song Jin screamed, Chu Cheng only had an amulet, afraid of accidents, he also grabbed the Buddha Beads.
The ghost energy became denser, even obscuring their vision, the surroundings dark as their hearts.
"Song Jin, Chu Cheng, give me your lives." Ye Qiu’s voice kept echoing in their ears.
"Ah!" They screamed in terror, simultaneously yanking the Buddha Beads in front of them.
"Clang... Clang..." The thread of the beads could not withstand the tension, this was the sound of the beads falling on the ground.
The black mist dissipated, revealing Buddha Beads scattered all over the ground, leaving the two stunned.
In fact, Ye Qiu hadn’t done much but just blinded their vision to scare them; she didn’t expect them to be so easily frightened, actually breaking the Buddha Beads together.
"Hahahaha... Chu Cheng, Song Jin, you really brought this onto yourselves." Ye Qiu laughed crazily, dense black mist enveloped the two totally, the amulet hissed as it burnt into a pile of ashes.
Ling Xiao watched the two collapse weakly and sighed, the matter finally settled. It had to be said, taking revenge on her own was indeed much more satisfying than continuously going through legal procedures.
"Did you kill them?" Ling Xiao stepped forward and asked.
"No." Ye Qiu’s blood-red eyes gradually cleared up, "It would be too easy to kill them, not to mention, if Chu Cheng died just like that, it would indeed be troublesome for you to adopt Xiao Ran. I have other arrangements."
"As long as you have a plan. I’ll go outside to see who has come; you go and tell Xiao Ran not to give himself away later."
"I’m sorry to involve you." Ye Qiu guiltily nodded her head.
Ling Xiao chuckled lightly, "Why mention trouble between us? I’ve always felt guilty for not finding evidence of Chu Cheng’s plot against you. Luckily you’re back; otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do with Xiao Ran."
Ye Qiu looked at Xiao Ran and smiled thankfully, fortunate that she had come back, so fortunate!
She then gazed at the two people lying limp on the ground; since they were so devoted and fond of this villa, let them stay here forever.
After Ling Xiao went out, the police outside broke the illusion, looking bewildered. What was happening? Why were they just walking in circles?
"Who are you?" A police officer cautiously asked Ling Xiao, considering that he was the only person there and seemed injured.
"I am Ling Xiao from criminal police squad one, here’s my ID. There is a dead person inside, go and gather evidence," Ling Xiao said openly.
The officer took Ling Xiao’s ID, looked at it, then returned it, "Officer Ling, how did you know there’s a dead body inside? Please cooperate with our investigation before we have evidence proving you’re not related to the case."
"Of course, I will always cooperate with you."
Then, the investigation reached a deadlock. Indeed, someone had died inside the villa, but on the body, there were only fingerprints of a four-year-old child. Could such a big person really be killed by a child? Obviously not.
When asking Ling Xiao, he only mentioned he was worried about the child and drove here at midnight to check, and he inexplicably passed out as soon as he entered the villa. When he woke up, the master was already dead.
Nothing could be obtained from him, and even less from Xiao Ran, a four-year-old child who kept calling for mommy, mommy. However, according to their investigation, the child’s mother had died five months earlier.
The remaining key clues were Chu Cheng and Song Jin, but when they woke up, they both went insane: one kept talking about children, and the other kept saying there were ghosts. How were they supposed to investigate this?
Moreover, the police found that the two people could not leave the villa; once they left, they would behave as if they had epilepsy, seeming like they could go into seizures at any moment. Initially, police assigned personnel to check on them periodically, but after noticing that the family no longer cared, the officers stopped caring too. Fortunately, as a police officer and Xiao Ran’s uncle, Ling Xiao arranged for the child to live in another house owned by Chu Cheng, which brought some peace to police and social workers.
Officially, Ling Xiao hired a nanny for Xiao Ran, but in reality, it was Ye Qiu who took care of him.
"What would you like to eat today?" Ye Qiu sent Xiao Ran off on the school bus, asking like the days of old.
"Xiao Ran likes anything Mom makes." Xiao Ran happily said, now that the unpleasant people were gone, the interaction between mother and son was extremely warm.
In this lifetime, Ye Qiu had chosen the Level 8 of God of Cooking Light skill. She was determined to raise Xiao Ran healthy and plump.
After seeing off Xiao Ran, Ye Qiu went to the market to buy groceries and, with some time left, she headed to Green Lake District.
"Sister Ye Qiu." Water Ghost Meng Huai emerged from the lake, looking at his ghostly form, which had become much more solid than before.
"This is for you." Ye Qiu handed him a basket, which contained meals she had prepared, specially treated so ghosts could eat it too.
Meng Huai, having eaten Ye Qiu’s cooking several times before, merely smelling it made his stomach greedily stir. He smiled happily, "Thank you, Sister Ye Qiu."
Ye Qiu replied nonchalantly and then looked meaningfully at the distant villa: "Take your time eating, I’m going to check on those two people."
"Okay."
