Chapter 42 - 42: Go and Explain to the Police

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just before Liu Lan was about to suffocate, Shen Chun asked Lan Shan to put her down.

Liu Lan lay on the ground and panted heavily as she looked at Shen Chun in horror and was no longer as arrogant as before. “You, who are you?!”

“I’m Shen Chun, who was thrown into the river by you guys and died once.” Shen Chun walked to Liu Lan’s side, squatted down, and pinched her chin.

Feeling as if her bones were about to be crushed, Liu Lan cried out in pain.

Just as she was about to lose it, Shen Chun said again, “I’ll give you one last chance. Did you have anything to do with my parents’ death?”

“I don’t know.” Liu Lan shook her head repeatedly. “I don’t know anything! Ask Shen Zheng! Yes, ask him!”

She smiled at Shen Chun ingratiatingly as she pushed the blame onto Shen Zheng. “He’s in charge of everything at home, so I really don’t know anything.”

“Really?” Shen Chun let go and wiped her hand with a tissue in disdain.

Her gaze landed on Shen Zheng again. Lan Shan had already left, leaving Shen Zheng standing there in a daze.

After waiting for a few seconds, Shen Chun became a little impatient, so she waved her hand gently. Then, Lan Shan floated over again and picked Shen Zheng up before turning him upside down.

Lan Shan’s appearance had returned to normal, but his movements were still very scary. He grabbed Shen Zheng’s leg and swayed them in the air for a long time. When he was done playing, he said threateningly, “Tell me!”

Shen Zheng’s face turned pale. Sensing that he was about to be picked up by the evil spirit again, he quickly said, “No, your parents’ deaths really had nothing to do with me.”

Shen Chun narrowed her eyes. “Let me ask you one last time. You really didn’t have anything to do with my parents’ deaths?”

“No! Absolutely not!” Shen Zheng was afraid that Shen Chun wouldn’t believe him, so he swore to her. “1 was still counting on your father to earn money. How could I harm him?” “How much do you owe people?” Shen Chun asked again.

Shen Zheng felt embarrassed and said after a long while, “io million.”

It was exactly the same as the insurance money for her and Shen Chi. No wonder Shen Zheng had designs on the two of them.

If she hadn’t transmigrated into the Host’s body, she and Shen Chi probably would have died again.

“I know 1 was wrong. 1 thought of this method because 1 was blinded by greed.” Shen Zheng revealed a fawning smile as he begged, “We’re all family. Please spare me this time.”

Shen Chun smiled. “You want me to let you off?”

Shen Zheng’s eyes lit up and he tugged at Liu Lan, who was beside him. “That’s right. From now on, you’ll be our biological daughter. Little Chi will be like our biological son. Our family will get along harmoniously.”

Shen Chi’s eyes were still closed, but when he heard this, he quickly shook his head. “No, Sister, they’re bad people! 1 don’t want to be with them!”

“What are you saying?!” Liu Lan glared at Shen Chi. “How can we be bad people?”

As Shen Chun held her brother’s hand, the little guy secretly opened his eyes a little, but she pretended not to see it.

“Are you done?”

Liu Lan nodded in embarrassment. “Yes, I’m done. I was just too anxious and didn’t mean anything else by it. You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll cook for you now.”

Shen Zheng chimed in, “Yes, we must make a sumptuous meal, then tidy up their rooms.”

“No need.” Shen Chun interrupted him. “You should save the rest for the police. I’ve already recorded everything you said just now. You should think about how to explain this to the police and the insurance company.”

Before she could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. Shen Zheng’s expression changed drastically. “You really called the police! Don’t forget that our wounds were caused by you! Even if the police come, you won’t be able to escape!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Who said that 1 was the one who caused the wounds on your bodies? It was clearly caused by an argument over the uneven distribution of the loot between the two of you.” Shen Chun smiled. “From the beginning to the end, I didn’t do anything.”

Shen Zheng was stunned, and his expression turned even uglier. Indeed, Shen Chun didn’t do anything. The strangulation mark on Liu Lan’s neck was caused by him.

This move of hers was too ruthless!

Before Shen Zheng could react, the door was knocked open.

A few police officers walked in. The person in the lead had sharp facial features and a fierce aura. “I’m Ling Han, the captain of the police station’s sub-team. We received a report that Liu Lan and Shen Zheng are suspected of murder and insurance fraud.. Now, please follow me to the police station for an investigation!”
