Chapter 187: Chapter 187: You Must Pay with Your Life for the Debt of Favor You Owe Me, Part 3

Shen Tianrui was not one to be polite to anyone who threatened his life.

His kick sent Dou Qing reeling, a sweet, metallic taste rising in his throat before he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Shen Tianrui didn’t give him a chance to fight back, immediately taking out handcuffs to shackle his hands behind his back.

After dealing with Dou Qing, Shen Tianrui called Li Dachong and his team to come over and collect Dou Qing’s criminal evidence.

As the person involved, it was better for Li Dachong and his team to handle the evidence collection.

When he’d finished work, he’d already given Li Dachong a heads-up, asking him and two brothers to wait for his call since there might be a task for them later.

Li Dachong and his two colleagues, having been prepared, immediately rushed over in their car when they received the call from Shen Tianrui.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the scene of Shen Tianrui’s incident and rapidly collected evidence.

After the evidence at the crime scene was gathered, Shen Tianrui and Li Dachong took Dou Qing back to the Public Security Sub-bureau and immediately began his interrogation.

Dou Qing’s vitality had been half-kicked out of him by Shen Tianrui’s foot, and he was listless all the way, no longer displaying the same grim ferocity as before.

When Li Dachong interrogated him, Dou Qing quickly confessed his crimes.

He was well aware that he’d tried to kill Shen Tianrui, only to be caught red-handed, and no matter how he tried to evade, he couldn’t wash away the crime of attempted murder.

When Li Dachong and Shen Tianrui heard the motive behind Dou Qing’s attempted murder, as well as the grudges and grievances he had with Bai Xiaolian, Li Dachong couldn’t help but feel indignant on behalf of Shen Tianrui.

He said to Dou Qing, "Do you know that Shen Tianrui’s family is now the richest in Suzhou, and he himself is no ordinary person? He would never set his sights on Bai Xiaolian. It is Bai Xiaolian who is unrequitedly in love with Shen Tianrui."

"And about that scene you witnessed that day, that was Bai Xiaolian insisting on attending Shen Tianrui’s sister’s birthday. It was only then that Shen Tianrui took her and later brought her back. The two of them hadn’t even held hands, okay?"

"If you love Bai Xiaolian so much, why didn’t you take her away directly? Why did you have to hurt the innocent? Now look at what’s happened—you’ve just got out, and you’ve put yourself back in. Don’t you have any regrets?"

Dou Qing gave a cold laugh, "What’s the use of talking about this now?"

Li Dachong chuckled, "Indeed, it’s useless. I just feel it’s a pity for you, ruining your whole life over a woman who is not worth it."

Dou Qing painfully closed his eyes.

Bai Xiaolian, who had been locked up by Dou Qing in a small motel, was later rescued by Li Dachong and his team.

Seeing the clear bruises on Bai Xiaolian’s body, they knew she had been tormented by Dou Qing.

But they really couldn’t muster any sympathy for a woman like Bai Xiaolian.

Dou Qing had ruined his life because he loved the wrong person and made the wrong choices.

And a woman like Bai Xiaolian, even without Dou Qing or Shen Tianrui, would quickly find someone else to take her on.

The Public Security Sub-bureau also fired the temporary worker Bai Xiaolian for negative influence reasons.

She left, and no one knew where she went afterward.

No one cared about what her future would hold.

In the end, Dou Qing was sentenced to ten more years of imprisonment.

However, this time, he would never have the chance to come out.

He died of illness in prison five years later.

But that’s a story for another time.

The day after Dou Qing attempted to assassinate Shen Tianrui, Shen Tianrui went to see Shen Tianxing for a fortune-telling session.

Shen Tianxing smiled at him and said, "Big brother, congratulations! Your Peach Blossom Disaster has been resolved. Oh my, it won’t be long before the peach blossom destined for you truly arrives. Congratulations!"

Shen Tianrui raised an eyebrow at her, "Are you serious?"

Shen Tianxing nodded with a smile, "Of course I’m serious! Would I dare to deceive you about such an important matter as marriage?"

Shen Tianrui clapped his hands together, "That’s fantastic! My mom was just saying she wanted to ask you when my Red Luan star would be active. Now it’s settled. Xiaoxing, you should hurry and call her to share the news, so they can be happy and stop pressuring me to marry!"

Seeing Shen Tianrui’s helpless yet resigned expression, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, big brother, then you should hurry up and bring your wife home. That way, aunt won’t nag you to get married anymore."

Shen Tianrui rolled his eyes at her, "You think? Once I get married, she’ll start pestering me to have children! She will definitely nag incessantly in my ear, mentioning how so-and-so of my same age already has children this big... "

Shen Tianxing patted his arm consolingly, "Don’t worry, big brother! You should be meeting your true peach blossom next month, and within a year, you should be a dad. Keep it up! I’m rooting for you!"

Shen Tianrui’s face showed shock as his eyes widened, "Really? Is it that good?"

Shen Tianxing nodded emphatically, "Really, really. And what’s more, you and your wife will be deeply in love. You two are a match made in heaven."

Shen Tianrui looked at Shen Tianxing, took his wallet out of his pocket, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to Shen Tianxing with a serious expression, "Xiaoxing, take this. After everything is settled, I’ll give you a big red envelope!"

Shen Tianxing pushed his bank card back to him, snatched his wallet, took out a hundred yuan, waved it at him, and said with a smile, "This will be enough!"

She knew Shen Tianrui was following the Dark Magic realm’s tradition of "no futile divinations," paying her for the fortune-telling.

According to the customs of the Dark Magic realm, performing divination, checking Feng Shui, and other acts that reveal the secrets of heaven and go against the Heavenly Dao are punishable by the heavens.

Dark Magic Masters are a general term for practitioners in the dark arts sector, which is further subdivided into Fortune Tellers, Feng Shui Masters, Talisman Masters, Ghost Catchers, Talisman Healers, and more...

Generally speaking, the more the host pays for the service, the better the outcome.

Dark Magic Masters also adhere to the principle of "accept money to bless others," carrying out related rituals for the host, and taking on the corresponding karma that arises from these matters on behalf of the host.

For instance, if Shen Tianxing saved a wicked person and that person later committed murder, she would have to bear the corresponding negative karma, and her own merit would be reduced by the Heavenly Dao.

Similarly, if she saved a good person and that good person went on to save others, she would also receive some of that person’s merit.

If you asked a Fortune Teller for a reading or a Feng Shui Master to check Feng Shui, and in the end, you refused to pay or quarreled over the amount to pay less, you would eventually pay a more painful price in another way.

Thus, there is a saying in the world, it’s better to offend anyone than to offend those skilled and extraordinary individuals.
