The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 318 - Chapter 318 Chapter 318 Interrogation

Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Interrogation Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Interrogation “If you want to know, why not ask him yourself when the time comes?”

Zhong Niangyao took out a piece of White Jade from her pocket, “For now, enter this White Jade. Once the charges are set, I will personally take you to question him. If you want to take revenge yourself by then, I won’t stop you.”

Karma shall see to it, since he killed Qiaoqiao, it’s only just that if he ends up dying by Qiaoqiao’s hands, it would simply be the cycle of heaven’s law. Moreover, this will not cause any negative karma for Qiaoqiao, rather, it would allow her to dispel her resentments and reincarnate anew.

Although slightly displeased by Qiaoqiao’s original plan to consume Zhao Xuanglang’s Three Souls, a little girl murdered by her own biological father is indeed pitiful.

Qiaoqiao looked at Zhong Niangyao warily, her eyes darting about as she seemed to weigh whether or not to believe her words.

After a struggle of thoughts, she decided to trust Zhong Niangyao. Although she was young, having faced life and death, she possessed a clarity beyond that of other children her age. To her, this beautiful sister, though a Heavenly Master, didn’t seem like a bad person. Even though she had scolded her just before, she hadn’t truly harmed her.

Thus, she chose to trust her once.

After Qiaoqiao entered the White Jade, Zhong Niangyao took out a talisman paper, then began to murmur spells, hurling the talisman paper into the void.

The talisman paper floated mid-air, igniting without flame.

Soon, the originally chilly air began to warm slightly. The trees, once sinister, now appeared somewhat gentler.

Once everything was completed, Zhong Niangyao withdrew her hand and stood with her hands behind her back.

Others gathered around.

“Nianyao, how is that little girl now?” Mrs. Zhao asked, somewhat concerned.

“Let her rest inside the jade stone for now,” Zhong Niangyao replied lightly. “Although she is an Evil Ghost, she hadn’t had the chance to harm anyone. The only one she harmed was probably Zhao Xuanglang.”

At this point, she paused, then looked towards Liu Zihang standing next to Zhao Xuanglang, “Well, if we’re counting, he probably counts as half.”

Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s gaze directed at him, Liu Zihang felt embarrassed; he scratched his hair and then apologized to Zhong Niangyao, “I’m sorry! I was too rash earlier. Thank you for saving me, or I would’ve been in real danger today.”

Zhong Niangyao nodded, “Remember this in the future, don’t do such foolish things again. You won’t always have someone to save you.”

Hearing this disparaging remark about himself, Liu Zihang wasn’t angered but nodded earnestly instead.

Zhong Niangyao continued, “Once the truth comes out, I will let Qiaoqiao take her revenge. After her vengeance calms her spirit, I will send her to be reincarnated. Hopefully, in the next life, she can have a happy family.”

“Qiaoqiao is really too pitiable,” Zhao Xuanglang couldn’t help but sigh. “I really had no idea she was murdered by her own biological father. It’s unimaginable how desperate she must have felt at the moment of death.”

“Beast! Monster!” Liu Zihang was filled with righteous indignation. “Such a person doesn’t deserve to be a father.”

“His crimes will be judged by the law,” said Zhong Niangyao. “As for his life, it belongs to Qiaoqiao. If Qiaoqiao decides to spare him, he still has to face legal punishment. If Qiaoqiao chooses to seek revenge, then let his life be her retribution.”

Knowing about Qiaoqiao’s situation, everyone present felt a heavy mood and had little desire to speak further, silently waiting for the police to arrive.

About half an hour later, Han Xin arrived with several police officers.

Upon seeing Zhong Niangyao, he promptly approached her, “Lady Zhong, you mentioned that a little girl’s body was found in the pond, is that correct? That body–”

“That body is still in the pond,” Zhong Niangyao pointed towards the front’s pond, said, “You need to arrange for someone to retrieve it.”

A female officer stepped forward, peering into the pond. The water looked murky, obscuring the bottom, let alone any body.

“You can’t see clearly in there,” the female officer frowned, her tone turning questioning when she looked at Zhong Niangyao, “How did you know there was a body of a little girl inside?”

Seeing the attitude of the female officer, before Zhong Niangyao could reply, Zhao Xuanglang was already visibly displeased; he stepped forward, “What kind of attitude is that? Moreover, are you blind? This water is crystal clear, how could you not see–”

But as he looked at the surface of the water, his words halted. He vividly remembered, whether it was yesterday or just before, the pond had been clear to the bottom. Now, how could it have become so murky!

“Eye-blocking Technique!” Zhong Niangyao sighed helplessly, “Didn’t you think why, if this pond was really that clear, that fool would throw a body here?”

Wouldn’t that mean the body gets discovered immediately?

Zhao Xuanglang, slightly embarrassed, scratched his hair with an awkward smile.

“How did you know someone dumped a body here?” the female officer stepped forward, pressing on aggressively.

Zhong Niangyao glanced at her coolly, her gaze calm yet startling.

The female officer was intimidated by that nonchalant look, suddenly feeling a chill, she froze on spot, inexplicably filled with fear.

“Lady Zhong, I’m very sorry.”

Seeing this, Han Xin quickly intervened, “Officer Yu Xiaoman is quite new to the job and doesn’t understand many things, I hope you can overlook this.”

“Captain Han, manage your people,” Zhong Niangyao withdrew her gaze, then continued, “I am the one who reported the matter, not a criminal, don’t treat me like one; it displeases me. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Lady Zhong, rest assured, there will absolutely be no next time.”

Seeing that Zhong Niangyao seemed upset, Han Xin hastily promised, “If there is a next time, you won’t need to do anything; I will definitely take action first.”

After Zhong Niangyao withdrew her gaze, Yu Xiaoman finally felt normal again.

Hearing Han Xin’s words, she was dissatisfied, “Captain, how could you–”

She was cut off mid-sentence with a sharp rebuke, “Shut up! Or else, leave!”
