The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 286 - Chapter 286 Chapter 286 Choice

Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Choice Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Choice “What about Miao Miao?” the noblewoman asked anxiously, “What should be done about her now?”

Zhong Niangyao looked at the female ghost and spoke, “I will send her to hell, where her deeds will be judged by the Book of Life and Death.”

The female ghost seemed dissatisfied and appeared to want to say something, but Zhong Niangyao cut her off before she could speak.

“Unless you want to become a wandering spirit and never reincarnate, you’ll have to accept the corresponding punishment whenever you go to hell. However, with a weak soul like yours, if you encounter evil spirits, they could easily devour you. If you choose to harm others to strengthen yourself, then when someone like me, a Heavenly Master, encounters you, I will also subdue you.”

The female ghost hung her head and said no more.

Zhong Niangyao directly summoned a Netherworld Messenger, who took the female ghost away.

This time, it wasn’t Black and White Impermanence who came, but just a regular Netherworld Messenger. Zhong Niangyao didn’t engage in small talk; she simply clarified the matter and then let the Netherworld Messenger take the female ghost away.

Seeing their daughter leave, the couple was very reluctant, but they also understood that keeping her would only harm her in the end.

After the female ghost had left, Zhong Niangyao turned around to face the couple, “Your daughter’s matter has been resolved, but yours has not.”

“The things you’ve done, although there is no evidence directly linking them to you. But people act, and heaven watches. The heavens see everything, and this will also bring retribution upon you and your daughter.”

“Master, what should we do then?” the middle-aged man asked, “Whatever you say, we will do without any complaints.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded and then said, “First, you need to compensate the little girl’s family with a sum of money; though the girl was unharmed, you indeed harbored malicious intentions and caused her distress; second, you must do more good deeds in the future to truly cleanse your sins and bring blessings to your daughter.”

“Another very important point: only by doing so can you die a natural death in this lifetime.”

On hearing this, the couple’s faces instantly turned solemn.

“Don’t worry, Master, we will definitely do it.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, then turned to look at Lu Yichen beside her, “Let’s go then!”

Lu Yichen reached out, took Zhong Niangyao’s hand, and was ready to leave!

Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying were somewhat dumbfounded at the side. They didn’t understand how everything had just ended!

“What about Chen Jun then?” Zhou Ying stepped forward, asking anxiously, “What should be done with him?”

Chen Jun was actually the one who kidnapped the little girl, but he had been controlled by Miao Miao to do those things. Whether Chen Jun was handled or not seemed somewhat unjust.

“Hand him over to the regular public security authority!” Lu Yichen stated indifferently, “How he should be handled can be dealt with according to the process!”

“But, Chen Jun is innocent!” Zhou Ying couldn’t help but speak out, “He was controlled when he did those things. If he really has to go to prison, wouldn’t that be too heartless?”

Lu Yichen glanced at Zhou Ying, “Are you sympathizing with him?”

That simple glance was enough to chill Zhou Ying, but she still stood by her view, “Chen Jun is innocent.”

“He is not innocent,” Zhong Niangyao interrupted. “This couple has their wrongs, but that doesn’t mean Chen Jun is without fault. He’s not a three-year-old child; he couldn’t possibly be ignorant of the value of a house. He chose to agree, which means he must bear the corresponding consequences. Otherwise, you think the house is obtained for free!”

“However, if you sympathize with him, you could try to find a way to reduce his sentence, but he cannot avoid prison.”

Zhou Ying still looked unconvinced, and if Lu Zheng hadn’t been constantly pulling her back, she might have continued to argue.

Though Lu Zheng also felt it was somewhat unfair to Chen Jun, he thought that what Zhong Niangyao said seemed rational, and it appeared the highest authority agreed too.

“Seems like you really disagree!” Zhong Niangyao smiled and then said, “Why don’t you go and ask Chen Jun? If he’s willing to give up that apartment, then it can be considered a special case, and he can be spared from prison. How about that?”

“But I wonder if he’d be willing to give up that apartment.”

As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao glanced at Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen nodded in agreement.

“Regarding that apartment–” Zhong Niangyao turned to the couple, “Since you’ve already offered it as a reward, it’s naturally impossible to take it back. What I mean is, sell that apartment and then donate all the money, do you agree?”

“Agree, agree, we definitely agree.” The noblewoman nodded repeatedly without any objections.

The middle-aged man didn’t speak, suggesting he had no objections either.

“He will definitely agree,” Zhou Ying asserted confidently.

Zhong Niangyao smiled and said meaningfully, “Then let’s hope things go as you say.”

Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao quickly left the villa.

As for that matter with the Heavenly Master surnamed Xu, that would be handled by the special department, with someone else continuing to follow up. Zhong Niangyao had no intention of pursuing it further.

Once Zhou Ying got back to the special department, she went directly to the detention room and found Chen Jun. She told him that as long as he was willing to give up the apartment, this incident would be dropped, and he wouldn’t need to bear any legal responsibility.

She thought that by merely mentioning this deal, Chen Jun would immediately agree.

Lu Zheng had the same thought because he had just observed in the interrogation room how regretful Chen Jun was.

However, to their surprise, after some hesitation, Chen Jun chose to bear the legal responsibility. He would rather go to prison than give up the apartment.

This was incomprehensible to them, but they didn’t force the issue.

Actually, Chen Jun’s reasoning was simple; although he had kidnapped the little girl, he had not caused any substantial harm, so even if sentenced, it wouldn’t be for a long time.

Just a few years in prison could be exchanged for an apartment in the Imperial Capital worth nearly ten to twenty million, an amount he could never earn in his lifetime.

If he gave up the apartment now, wouldn’t all his previous hardships have been in vain?
