Chapter 80: Chapter 77: Killing One’s Own Children for the Mistress

"Peng Qiang killed his child? Is that true or false?"

"It can’t be possible, can it? Although the guy is a bit of a jerk, he’s the biological father."

"Tigers don’t eat their offspring, who would kill their own child?"

When Peng Qiang was taken away by the police, the onlookers nearby were skeptical.

And the child’s mother, He Xinyuan, just stood there in a daze.

"Come to the police station with us."

A policewoman stepped forward and said to He Xinyuan, "There is a new development in the case; the child’s body needs to be transported to the police station for an autopsy."

He Xinyuan stared at her child’s body, anxiously trying not to think too hard.

If she dwelled on it too much and it turned out to be her husband who had killed the child, the thought pierced her heart with pain.

Qin Zhao, having reported the incident, naturally arrived at the police station as well. This case wasn’t being handled by Huo Xun, so she didn’t encounter him.

The police contacted the Communications Department and pulled the call records between Peng Qiang and that Lili.

"You have a wife and child, I don’t want to be with you anymore, let’s break up."

"No, Lili, don’t leave me! I will divorce my wife, I will divorce her right away!"

"Even if you get divorced, don’t you still have to provide for two children? You already don’t make much money, marrying you means I’d have to help raise someone else’s kids? I would still have to suffer."

"What can I do to keep you from breaking up with me? I’ll do anything!"

"Only if those two children of yours die, then you divorce your wife, I’ll marry you."

"This, this is illegal, if we get caught, it’s over."

"You are their father, just find some excuse to kill them, say it was an accident, who would find out? Anyway, I won’t be with you as long as your two kids are around.

Raising children is so expensive, most of the money has to go to them, I can’t suffer along with you."

"Let me think, I’ll figure something out!"

During the phone recording, the voices of Peng Qiang and Lili could be heard. When He Xinyuan heard these words, her head seemed to explode with a bang.

She knew her husband was having an affair and had made a scene about it. But since she was just an ordinary worker and couldn’t afford to raise two children on her own, she had tolerated it.

She never imagined that the mistress would actually incite her husband to kill her children!

"Peng Qiang! I’ll kill you! You beast! How could you bring yourself to do it!

They are your children, they were so small, so tiny, and you threw them down from the building!

I will kill you, I will avenge my children!"

He Xinyuan suddenly charged towards where Peng Qiang was being held, like a madwoman.

The bars of the iron gate stopped her, she reached inside desperately and in agony, with veins bulging in her eyes, wishing she could strangle Peng Qiang on the spot, like an evil ghost from hell.

Peng Qiang was startled and cowered in the corner.

Several policemen came over, speaking gently to comfort He Xinyuan.

"Wuu wuu, mommy..."

Two pitiful little ghosts looked at their mad mother.

They wanted to comfort her, but their mother couldn’t see them or touch them.

He Xinyuan collapsed to the ground, as if she had lost her soul, desperately calling out the names of her two children.

Qin Zhao sighed, walked up to her and said, "Would you like to see your children?"

He Xinyuan’s eyes moved slightly, and she began to regain a bit of consciousness.

"What did you say?"

Qin Zhao cast a spell that allowed her to see the two little ghosts.

He Xinyuan quickly got up from the ground, staring at them excitedly, "Niu Niu, little brother."

The two children realized their mother could see them and couldn’t help but run towards her.

Eventually, humans and ghosts are destined to walk different paths, and they couldn’t embrace He Xinyuan.

"Mommy, don’t cry."

The little brother’s cluster of soul floated up, still wanting to reach out and wipe He Xinyuan’s tears.

But he couldn’t reach, so the brother said, "Mommy, I’ll blow for you."

Whoo, whoo—

A chill wind stirred up He Xinyuan’s messy bangs.

But she didn’t find it scary, because she knew these were her dearest children.

The little girl stood obediently beside He Xinyuan and earnestly said to her, "Mommy, don’t be sad. The sister said that someone would take us to a fun place soon.

I’ll take care of my brother, and you have to take care of yourself too."

He Xinyuan tried to speak but was too choked up, tears falling endlessly like they had broken free.

"Mommy, the sister gave us candied hawthorns just now, they were so tasty."

Ghosts cannot eat food from the Human World.

Qin Zhao had specially drawn a talisman, allowing the two little ghosts to taste the candied hawthorns.

The little brother sucked on his fingers, still savoring the taste of the candied hawthorns.

He was young and didn’t understand how much pain and sorrow death could bring.

He Xinyuan choked out, "That’s good, if it tasted good. Mommy will burn some for you later. What else do you want to eat? Tell Mommy everything you want to eat."

"I want to eat round rice balls and I want an Ultraman."

"What about Niu Niu, what does Niu Niu want?"

"I want the same Elsa princess dress I saw last time."

The last time she took the two children shopping, Niu Niu tried on a blue dress said to be the same as Elsa’s, which she really loved, but it was expensive.

He Xinyuan, reluctant to spend the money, didn’t buy it for her.

She never imagined that the next time she would go to buy that dress, it would be with her daughter eternally beyond reach.

He Xinyuan left the police station with her two children’s souls, wanting to buy them all the things they liked. As she left, she kept asking them what else they wanted.

To the other officers, she appeared to be talking to herself, babbling on nonsensically.

The crowd watched her departure with strange expressions, inevitably feeling a tug at their hearts.

"That bastard, I definitely won’t let him get away with this!"

An officer spat in the direction of Peng Qiang’s cell.

Not long after, Lili, who had egged Peng Qiang on to kill the children, was also captured and brought back.

Qin Zhao followed He Xinyuan and the two little ghosts at a distance, He Xinyuan mumbling the entire way, making passersby think she was a madwoman who had escaped from somewhere.

As dusk was approaching, she had bought many things.

The gates to the underworld had opened too, and a Netherworld Envoy came to fetch the ghosts.

"Sister, we don’t want to leave Mommy, can we stay?" the little girl asked Qin Zhao with hopeful eyes.

Qin Zhao shook her head, "No, you can’t. Staying with Mommy for too long will make her sick."

The little girl’s head drooped, a wave of disappointment washing over her.

She walked over, took her brother’s hand and bid farewell to He Xinyuan.

He Xinyuan watched them blankly as they vanished into the thick darkness of the night.

After a long time, she looked at Qin Zhao with gratitude, "Thank you for allowing me to say goodbye to them in time."

Qin Zhao smiled faintly, "You’re welcome."

There are so many injustices and regrets in this world, if she could help, it was her good fortune.
