Chapter 75: Chapter 72 Qin Zhao Wants a Divorce Again

Qin Zhao glanced at the inconsolable Xie Xiuying before saying to Jing Mingtao, "Did she really not care about you? During these days you’ve been on the run, it was all your mother’s money you were using.

How did you withdraw the money from the bank?"

Jing Mingtao’s expression froze upon hearing this.

"Because the passwords for all of your mother’s bank cards were your birthday. You tried it on a whim and were able to withdraw the money. Not only that, after her death, she continued to protect you.

Perhaps her way of urging you was too extreme, but she did indeed treat you as her own son."

A look of bewilderment surfaced in Jing Mingtao’s eyes, "She’s been protecting me even after death?"

He couldn’t help but recall the dream from last night, and just now in the room, always hearing his mother’s voice telling him to leave quickly, saying that the police had found him.

The police really did come.

So was his mother warning him?

With a bang, a gunshot rang out.

Taking advantage of Jing Mingtao’s distraction, Huo Xun shot and hit Jing Mingtao in the shoulder.

He was forced to let go of the hostage and fell to the ground.

"Son!"

Xie Xiuying wailed and crouched beside Jing Mingtao, seeing the fresh blood on his body, she attempted to press down on his wound, but her hands passed right through him.

"Son, Mom was wrong, Mom really was wrong..."

She cried uncontrollably, but it was too late.

The police rushed over, handcuffed Jing Mingtao, and escorted him back to the station.

He didn’t resist any further, his whole demeanor was vacant.

When being imprisoned, prisoners are required to surrender all possessions and change into prison clothes.

Jing Mingtao pulled out a bank card from his pocket.

It was his mother’s bank card.

It had a lot of money in it, money she had set aside for his college education.

The officer was about to take the bank card away when Jing Mingtao held onto it tightly, "Can I keep this?"

"No, hurry up and change your clothes."

The officer took away the bank card without hesitation.

Such an item couldn’t be left with him, what if he used it to commit suicide?

Outside the prison, Xie Xiuying wrung her hands, standing in a gloomy spot, staring blankly at the high walls.

"Is he going to be sentenced to death?"

Qin Zhao was beside her, "What else? Your son not only killed you but also dismembered another person. Such heinous acts are deserving of the death penalty."

Jing Mingtao had told relatives and friends that his mother had gone on a trip, so no one noticed the incident. He had been on the run for a long time, spent all the money, and that’s why he went to work part-time at an escape room place.

Because that kind of part-time job didn’t require detailed personal information.

But while working, Chen Shu discovered his identity.

Chen Shu was his high-school classmate.

Worried that Chen Shu might catch on and report him to the police, he killed her too.

He used a suitcase to transport the body. When he realized he couldn’t fit all of Chen Shu’s body into it, he had to dismember her, leaving the limbs behind at the escape room and transporting and burying the other parts elsewhere.

"And you almost caused us trouble, sheltering a murderer, so the underworld passed judgment on you."

Qin Zhao had used a Spirit Summoning Technique so that the Netherworld Envoy could find Xie Xiuying.

The path to the underworld gradually materialized, Xie Xiuying let out a wry smile, her eyes filled with tears as she murmured, "The death penalty is warranted, dying is better, less suffering that way."

Before her eyes, it seemed like her son’s younger days appeared.

He came home holding an award certificate, excitedly saying he ranked second.

But she never encouraged him,

Instead, she scorned, "What’s there to be happy about getting second?"

"Mom, why do you only smile at me when I take first place?"

"Mom, do you only like kids with good grades?"

"Mom, I got first place, can’t you stop being angry, please?"

When Xie Xiuying was killed by her son, she was very angry. Clinging to her fixation, unwillingly, she followed Jing Mingtao and heard many of his inner thoughts.

Finally, she realized her own mistakes.

She began to regret and wanted to make amends, so she covered up her son’s crimes.

Xie Xiuying knew this was wrong too, but she didn’t know what else she could do for her son.

To hell with it then, since the days in this human world weren’t that great anyway.

When Qin Zhao left the police station, she received a call from Su Xiaotong.

"Zhaozhao, I’ve decided to go on a blind date, and my parents have unblocked my bank card. Having money feels so freaking great! I’m taking you out for a meal!"

Qin Zhao curled her lips and asked her, "Do you know who your blind date is?"

"Ah, that’s not important. I have no interest in finding out, just muddle through it when the time comes!"

Su Xiaotong said with a giggly smile; she had no intention of getting married.

"How about we hit up a five-star restaurant today?"

"I’m cool with anything."

"By the way, that murder case from the escape room, did they catch the killer?"

Speaking of that day’s events, Su Xiaotong still felt a bit unnerved.

"They caught him."

"That’s good, people like that roaming free are just too scary—who knows if they’d kill again. I’ll pick you up then, and we can head straight to the restaurant!"

"Sure, I’m at the police station."

Qin Zhao hung up and waited outside the police station for Su Xiaotong to arrive.

About half an hour later, Su Xiaotong showed up.

She took Qin Zhao to a five-star restaurant she frequently visited, which had particularly delicious food.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the restaurant’s interior was also pretty nice.

Su Xiaotong was parking, and Qin Zhao looked into the window, only to spot a familiar figure.

Chu Yan was sitting across from a woman.

The woman looked rather frail and sickly, a morbid frailty lingered around her eyes and brows.

But she was quite pretty, with a gentle and delicate aura.

Qin Zhao stared for a while and couldn’t help but recall a name.

Xu Zhiwei.

A name she’d heard before at the hospital.

Ding-dong.

Her phone rang, a message from Chu Yan.

Dead White Lotus: Got something on today, figure out dinner on your own.

Heh, too busy dating a beauty to cook dinner for your wife?

Alright, very nice indeed!

"Zhaozhao, let’s go in."

Su Xiaotong came over but noticed something was off with Qin Zhao’s complexion.

"I’m not too fond of this place, let’s go somewhere else."

"Uh, sure."

Since it was Su Xiaotong’s treat, she let Qin Zhao have her way and took her to another restaurant.

"Zhaozhao, don’t be shy with me, order whatever you want."

"You’re not feeling hungry today? You haven’t eaten much."

During the meal, Su Xiaotong noticed Qin Zhao seemed somewhat distracted.

Su Xiaotong called Qin Zhao’s name several times before she came back to reality.

"Nothing, just thinking about getting a divorce again."

Why did she care so much about Chu Yan dining with someone else?

If she wanted to eat, just eat; they were going to divorce sooner or later anyway.

Once they divorced, it would be none of her business if he remarried that woman.

By then, she’d ascend to the Immortal Realm and become a fairy.

Why would a fairy care about two dogs from the Human World?

But, was that woman blind?

Didn’t she see the wedding ring on Chu Yan’s hand?

Su Xiaotong curiously asked her, "Why though?"

"Because he’s got a bitch on the side."

"That’s outrageous! Our Zhaozhao is so wonderful; how could he not cherish you!"

Su Xiaotong was livid, angrily slamming her hand on the table.

"Just divorce him, and kick that scumbag to the curb! Don’t be sad, there’s no need! It’s not worth it! There are plenty of better men out there!

I have money today, I’ll reserve a VIP section, and get you a lineup of twenty or so male models! To hell with that damned man!"

"????"

Are you serious...
