“Revenge?”

“Yes, revenge!” Wu Shouhan took a deep breath and explained, “Ke Wenji was a salesperson at Cloud Sea Mall. Because she was pretty, she was picked out by the general manager of the mall, Shi Yanyi, and was promoted to be the team manager.

“That’s right. It’s exactly as you think. Shi Yanyi is a member of the Shi Family.

“The Shi Family owns half of the shares of Cloud Sea Mall. Shi Yanyi was the assistant manager at first, but later on, he became the general manager because he made many contributions.

“Although this Shi Yanyi is only 30 years old, he is quite talented in business. Under his leadership, Cloud Sea Mall surpassed Tai Long Mall, Blue Sky Mall, and Dragon Rock Mall in just two years, becoming the top square of Qinghe City.

“He comes from a good family, has good looks, talent, and is not weak in martial arts. Such a person naturally attracts women. Ke Wenji was just one of them.

“Compared to Shi Yanyi’s other women, Ke Wenji worshiped him the most. She was willing to do anything for Shi Yanyi, even if it meant sleeping with other men.

“When Shi Yanyi discovered this, he quickly turned Ke Wenji into his puppet… No, more accurately, his slave!

“I won’t go into the details. In any case, Ke Wenji was under Shi Yanyi’s control for as long as eight years.

“Until last month, when Ke Wenji was ordered by Shi Yanyi to play games with five men, one of the men used too much strength. He broke one of her arms and ruined her face. Only then did Shi Yanyi abandon her.

“It was raining heavily in the middle of the night. Ke Wenji, who was lying on the street, was suddenly enlightened and finally woke up.”

“…So she started her revenge after she woke up?” Kong Dabao asked softly.

“Yes.” Wu Shouhan sighed. “Ke Wenji knows that she was not Shi Yanyi’s match, nor can she get close to him. She could not poison him even if she wanted to. There was only one way…”

“Turn into a Corpse Puppet?” Feng Tiejian couldn’t help but interrupt. “Damn, she turned herself into a Corpse Puppet in order to take revenge on Shi Yanyi? Doesn’t this foolish woman know that her actions will implicate many innocent people?”

“You already said that she’s a fool. Why would she care about others?”

Wu Shouhan calmly narrated, “In order to take revenge on Shi Yanyi, Ke Wenji didn’t care about anything else. After staying with Shi Yanyi for so many years, she had long figured out his routines. She couldn’t get close to him, but she could still plant a bomb beside him.

“Ke Wenji calculated Shi Yanyi’s daily schedule and hid under the bed in the lounge in his office at night. She then consumed poison to kill herself.

“Before she did that, he even sprayed odorless deodorant on her body to cover up her corpse stench.

“Shi Yanyi has been busy with the festival these past two days. He rarely went into the lounge, and when he did, he fell asleep once his head touched the pillow. Therefore, he didn’t find Ke Wenji’s body under his bed.

“Until the Corpse-raising Devil Insect Egg found her and turned her corpse into a Corpse Puppet!”

The dormitory fell silent.

Both Kong Dabao and Gu Bo remained silent after hearing the whole story.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Was Ke Wenji pitiful?

Of course.

But in order to take revenge on Shi Yanyi, she had implicated close to a thousand people today!

It was impossible to account for this.

The cause at the bottom of it all was Shi Yanyi.

Shi Yanyi was the source of this disaster!

“That b*stard!” Kong Dabao couldn’t help but curse. “None of the martial families are good!”

“Perhaps we should be more straightforward. If Shi Yanyi had directly killed Ke Wenji back then, so many people wouldn’t have died today,” Gu Bo said softly.

“That’s right. Ke Wenji’s death is not to be regretted, and Shi Yanyi should get a miserable death. This fellow, being quickly dismembered by the Corpse Puppet is still too easy on him!” Feng Tiejian said indignantly.

“Shi Yanyi is still alive,” Wu Shouhan said calmly.

“What?”

“Shi Yanyi didn’t die? How is that possible? Didn’t Ke Wenji become an intermediate-level Corpse Puppet? How could she have failed to kill Shi Yanyi?”

“Or is Shi Yanyi a fifth-grade expert?”

“…”

Feng Tiejian, Kong Dabao, and the others cried out in disbelief.

Su Jingxing recalled Wu Shouhan’s words and asked in surprise, “Did Ke Wenji already know that even if she turned into a Corpse Puppet, she might not be able to kill Shi Yanyi?”

“Hmm? What do you mean?” Feng Tiejian was puzzled.

Confusion covered the faces of Kong Dabao and the others.

“Little Su guessed right.”

Wu Shouhan looked at Su Jingxing appreciatively and said in a low voice, “That’s right. Ke Wenji knew that even if she becomes a Corpse Puppet, she might not kill Shi Yanyi. After all, when she became a Corpse Puppet, it’s unlikely that Shi Yanyi would so coincidentally be sleeping in the lounge.

“And that’s the reality. When Ke Wenji turned into a Corpse Puppet and rushed out of the lounge, Shi Yanyi was having tea in a teahouse beside the square and admiring the festival he planned. It was very successful.

“Ke Wenji’s real killing move was that she implicated many innocent people after turning into a Corpse Puppet. Shi Yanyi will be blamed for this crime.

“And what Ke Wenji wants is to use this crime to force the Martial Suppression Office and even Li Linzhou to personally come forward and kill Shi Yanyi!”

Tss!

Gasps sounded in the dormitory.

Other than Su Jingxing, everyone else was stunned.

So ruthless…

Too ruthless!

How was Ke Wenji crazy? She was clearly a genius lunatic!

For revenge against Shi Yanyi, she did not hesitate to commit s*icide and turn into a Corpse Puppet, killing thousands of innocent people. Then, she left behind video evidence and forced the Martial Suppression Office and even Li Linzhou to take action!

“What about the Shi Family?”

Recalling Shi Yanyi’s identity, Feng Tiejian forced himself to calm down and asked, “Uncle Wu, has Shi Yanyi been hidden away by the Shi Family?”

“Yes.”

Wu Shouhan nodded. “Shi Yanyi is missing and Ke Wenji’s plan has also succeeded. When I was on my way here, I received news that Li Linzhou has personally led a team to the Shi Family!”

…

The Shi Family’s residence.

More than a hundred Martial Suppression Office elites in uniforms surrounded Li Linzhou. They stood in the courtyard of the Shi Family and confronted its members.

At the front of the two groups were Li Linzhou and Shi Jinnian.

Li Linzhou, who was dressed in casual clothes, had his hands behind his back. He said calmly, “Patriarch Shi, hand over Shi Yanyi and this matter will end here.”

“Sigh, to be honest, I don’t know where Shi Yanyi has run off to or where he is hiding. If I knew, I would have sent this b*stard to the Martial Suppression Office!

Shi Jinnian sighed and said helplessly, “If you don’t believe me, you can search as you please. If you find that b*stard, you don’t have to do anything. I’ll execute him myself!”

Li Linzhou remained calm and ordered, “Search.”

“Yes!”

The elites from the Martial Suppression Office behind him immediately spread out and began to search the entire compound of the Shi Family.

During the process, even though the Shi Family members looked indignant, they did not stop them.

Half an hour later, the search ended.

“Sir, we didn’t find him.”

An expert from the Martial Suppression Office reported to Li Linzhou.

“See, I didn’t lie to you, did I?” Shi Jinnian looked at Li Linzhou sincerely.

The latter remained silent.

The next second, he turned around and left.

“Let’s go.”

The elites from the Martial Suppression Office followed Li Linzhou and left the Shi Family estate.

Shi Jinnian led the Shi Family members to see them out.

Only when everyone vanished from sight did his expression recover its calm, and he said indifferently, “How is it?”

“Everything is going according to plan!”
