Hearing the lock click shut, Su Mu frowned, turned around, and said, "Xu Xiuzhen, why did you call me here..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud thud followed by another muffled thud.

To be precise, Su Mu hadn't even turned around when everything went black and he collapsed to the ground.

Xu Xiuzhen swallowed hard and looked at the hammer she was gripping tightly in her hand.

With a clatter, the hammer fell to the ground.

She hurriedly bent down, trembling as she picked up the hammer, but nearly dropped it when she saw the bright red bloodstains on it.

She glanced at Su Mu, and was even too scared to go forward.

But when she thought of the recording Zhou Chunhua played for her, she made up her mind once again.

After all, if Su Mu doesn't die, Nan Xing won't be able to get out, and she'll have to go to jail.

This is worse than death!

In that case...

"Su Mu, this... this is what you forced me to do!" A whispered voice followed as she gripped the hammer handle and walked towards Su Mu.

At this moment, Su Mu felt a low ringing in his ears and his head felt wet.

She tried to reach out and touch it, but her hand seemed disconnected from her brain, completely unresponsive.

"Xu, Xiuzhen, you, you..." She slowly opened her eyes, only to see Xu Xiuzhen raising her hands and staring down at her.

"Hehehe..." Xu Xiuzhen chuckled softly, "You want money, huh? Well, we'll see if you're alive to spend it!"

As she finished speaking, so did the hammer in her hand.

A stream of hot, wet liquid sprayed onto Xu Xiuzhen's face. Startled, she shuddered and fell to the ground with a thud.

I wiped the liquid from my eyes; the smell of rust filled the entire rented room.

She glanced at Su Mu lying in front of her, then gripped the hammer tightly and lunged forward again.

This time, her mind was blank. Her hand holding the hammer mechanically brought it down hard and then raised it high to strike again.

It's all your fault!

Bang!

She raised the hammer again: "It's all because of you that Nanxing has become like this!"

Bang! The hammer fell again.

"You filthy bitch! If it weren't for you, Nanxing wouldn't have ended up in this divorce situation, and he would still be the professor everyone envies!"

Bang! The hammer fell again.

"It's all because of you, you son of a bitch!"

Bang!

"You want money? Fine! I'll burn it for you!"

Bang!

Amidst the insults, she didn't even know how many times she had hit the hammer; it was just one blow after another.

Fall down and lift up, fall down and lift up, repeat continuously.

Even the sounds that reached my ears changed from the muffled thuds at the beginning to strange hissing sounds at the end.

Exhausted, Xu Xiuzhen collapsed backward onto the ground, panting heavily.

With a sudden release, the hammer clattered to the ground.

She moved her fingers slightly, and the sticky feeling between her fingers made her turn her head out of curiosity.

She gently raised her hand, her fingers leaving several thin lines on the ground. The smell of rust filled her nostrils, and a wave of nausea made her gag.

"Ugh..." She instinctively covered her mouth with her hand, but upon seeing the discolored palm, she gagged while rubbing her hand on her body repeatedly.

But no matter how many times she rubbed it, the red marks on her palms remained clearly visible.

Suddenly, Xu Xiuzhen raised her hand and slapped herself across the face.

I calmed down instantly.

"What's the panic!" she hissed. "It's going more smoothly than we expected; we should be happy!"

Just half an hour ago, she was still worried: what if someone came with Su Mu? What if someone suddenly appeared during the process? What if she missed her target and Su Mu fought back desperately?

But no! None of her worries happened! Everything went perfectly!

"Cough cough..." She coughed lightly twice, covered her nose with her sleeve, and looked at Su Mu, who was not moving in the distance.

At this moment, Su Mu lay in a pool of blood, her high heels, as red as blood, scattered around her, specks of red falling on her black, misty stockings.

Her expensive mink coat, like her, lay open lifelessly, her rhinestone-studded nails sparkling.

However, beneath her slender, fair fingers, a pool of dark red liquid was slowly spreading.

Xu Xiuzhen picked up the hammer again and carefully walked forward.

At just one glance, her legs went weak, and she stumbled backward until she collapsed onto the bed with a creak.

The rented room, which is about ten square meters, is not big to begin with, and the only piece of furniture is this bed.

Therefore, even though she was sitting on the bed, she was not far from Su Mu's body.

She could even touch Su Mu's toes with just a simple step.

She gasped for breath, her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her throat. She clutched her chest, her brows furrowed in deep wrinkles.

He's dead! Su Mu is dead! Dead beyond dead!

Her head, her face...

To be precise, no one could recognize that face.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiuzhen suddenly smiled.

“Hehehe…very good!” She nodded: “Now, all we need to do is deal with her body, and…” Xu Xiuzhen looked towards the window.

Outside the door, Su Mu's car was also there.

So she decided to take the plunge, force herself to stand up again, and then drag a suitcase out from under the bed.

She opened the box, took out a brand-new machete and saw blade, and looked at the motionless Su Mu: "If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too greedy! It was your own greed that killed you!"

After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of the bathroom.

Once the body is dragged in, it can be disposed of step by step.

Strangely enough, at this moment, Xu Xiuzhen suddenly calmed down, with an unprecedented calmness.
