Chapter 58: Chapter 55: Putting Out a Fire Only to Discover My Girlfriend Cheating (Extra)

Qin Yu frowned slightly and then instructed his secretary, "Call her leader, you can offer some benefits, and have her leader send her directly to us."

The secretary did as Qin Yu had said. Their company was a big shot in the entertainment industry; basically, everyone was eager to cooperate with them. Yao Qian’s leader quickly agreed, saying that Yao Qian hadn’t taken any leave recently and could come right away.

They waited in Qin Yu’s office for a while.

"Mr. Qin, I’ve found the information about the building before it was constructed. A fire had broken out on the eighth floor.

When the firefighters came to rescue people, they managed to evacuate the trapped personnel, but they sacrificed themselves in the process."

Qin Yu hadn’t expected that people had died in this building, so he had someone investigate the pre-construction records, and sure enough, there was a problem. When they had bought the building, the real estate company had actually concealed it!

He looked towards the nearby ghost, its soul drifting curiously back and forth, his expression inevitably complex.

Qin Yu stepped forward and said to Xiao Shi, "I apologize for my attitude towards you just now."

Given that this ghost had sacrificed itself to save others, it deserved his respect.

Besides, Xiao Shi hadn’t deliberately harmed anyone; it had just accidentally scared those two employees.

Xiao Shi waved its hand, seemingly unbothered.

Right now, all it wanted was to meet Yao Qian quickly and figure out why it was trapped here.

"Yao Qian is here."

Qin Zhao stood beside the floor-to-ceiling window in the office and looked down from above, with a clear view of the first-floor entrance.

Yao Qian looked somewhat nervous. She arrived at the first-floor entrance and hesitated for a long time without entering, her gaze occasionally turning towards the eighth floor.

Clearly, she feared something—something she had seen: the ghost.

Yao Qian must have recognized Xiao Shi’s identity, otherwise, she would not have sounded so guilty over the phone.

To get her to come over on her own, Qin Yu had promised her supervisor many benefits.

The supervisor had sent Yao Qian over with the promise of a twenty-thousand bonus if the collaboration went well.

For that bonus, Yao Qian had mustered the courage to come.

She stood at the entrance for a long time, took a deep breath, and finally walked in.

"Let’s go, meet her in the conference room."

Two people and one ghost left Qin Yu’s office and headed to the conference room.

As soon as Yao Qian walked in and Xiao Shi sensed her presence, something was wrong.

Bang, bang, bang!

The glass of the conference room shattered instantaneously, and various porcelain ornaments smashed all over the floor.

"Yao Qian!"

Just as she walked in, she saw Xiao Shi floating in mid-air, wrapped in dark energy, its eyes blood-red and its expression ferociously rushing towards her.

"You ungrateful wretch! I am going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!"

Xiao Shi instantly lost all reason and lunged at Yao Qian, as fragmented images flashed through its mind.

After the blazing fire, he saw two disheveled people. He felt the world falling apart but still managed to rescue them from the inferno.

But as they descended the fire escape, Yao Qian and that man turned back and pushed him into the fiery abyss!

"Ah! Shi Xingyu? No, don’t come over!"

Yao Qian fell to the ground, crying hysterically.

"I didn’t do it on purpose, I really didn’t do it on purpose, it was Ma Bowen! Ma Bowen wanted to kill you! Go find him, go get your revenge on him!"

Xiao Shi clasped Yao Qian’s neck, its eyes flashing with blood-red light.

It was about to take Yao Qian’s life, but Qin Zhao stopped her.

"Don’t stain yourself with bloodshed, or you won’t be able to be reincarnated."

"No! I must seek revenge!"

Xiao Shi finally remembered, his face twisting in agony.

"Do you know who this woman is? She’s my girlfriend of three years! I treated her so well, and yet she cheated on me!

Cheating is one thing! When there was a fire here, I came to rescue, saved her and that adulterer, but they pushed me into the flames! I could have made it out! I was supposed to survive! Do you understand?"

"I want to kill her! I want to send her and that adulterer straight to hell! I’m the only son of my parents; can you imagine how devastated they are after my death? I wasn’t supposed to sacrifice myself, it’s all their fault!"

Qin Zhao listened to his accusation and couldn’t help but be moved.

"You don’t have to do anything; I’ll avenge you. I’ll make them go to the police station and confess, let them suffer daily from the torment of fire, and agonize until they die."

Hearing this, Shi Xingyu calmed down a bit.

Qin Zhao continued to explain, "You were a firefighter in life, saved many people, and were supposed to have immense merit. This merit will accumulate for your relatives, bringing them blessings.

After your reincarnation, you will be born into a good life. If you kill her yourself, all the merit you’ve accumulated in life will be lost."

Shi Xingyu couldn’t help but think of his parents, the white-haired sending off the black-haired in despair. But now that he was dead, his parents still had to live on.

If the merit that he had accumulated could make his parents’ lives even a little better, he might feel some peace of mind.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

The aura around Shi Xingyu gradually calmed down.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Can you take me to see my parents?"

"Yes."

Qin Zhao looked at Yao Qian who had fainted from fear on the ground, and cast a Puppetry Technique, "Find Ma Bowen and go to the police station to confess together, tell the truth about the fire."

Yao Qian’s eyes were vacant, and she mechanically responded, "Yes."

Qin Zhao snapped his fingers, and Yao Qian’s eyes slowly regained their color.

She looked no different from normal, and after recovering, hastily left the office to find Ma Bowen and then go to the police station to confess.

"Ma Bowen probably won’t agree to confess. I’ll follow them."

Shi Xingyu quickly said, "I’ll go with you."

Qin Zhao took him away and headed to the company where Yao Qian worked. They soon saw Ma Bowen.

After changing companies, the two became an official couple.

Yao Qian called Ma Bowen out, and the two stood in a corner of the parking lot.

Soon, a heated argument broke out.

"Yao Qian, have you lost your mind?! You want to confess? Are you crazy? We committed premeditated murder, we’re going to prison!

It was just the two of us at the time, if you don’t talk, and I don’t talk, who would know that we pushed Shi Xingyu into the fire?

Don’t bother me with this nonsense; this secret has to rot in our stomachs for a lifetime!"

Yao Qian was pale, trembling as she said, "I saw Shi Xingyu’s ghost; if we don’t go and confess, there will be retribution. Please, just come and confess with me!"

"No! I won’t confess, and you can’t either!"

Ma Bowen’s expression instantly turned vicious, "If you confess, the police will definitely trace it to me! Won’t my life be ruined?"

"I’m going to confess, whether you come or not."

Yao Qian only remembered the command Qin Zhao had given her, muttering to herself over and over.

"Yao Qian! Just you try!"

Yao Qian ignored him and turned to walk toward the outside of the parking lot.

Ma Bowen stared intently at her retreating figure, and realizing this was a blind spot for surveillance, he quickly picked up a brick from the ground and smashed it toward the back of Yao Qian’s head.
