Chapter 156 Greed Blinded the Last Shred of Humanity

Lin Dazhu was also terrified. He covered his head and shrank into a corner, knocking over the coffee table and shattering cups and saucers all over the floor.

He cried incoherently, "Daughter, don't look for us! Don't look for us! Your parents... your parents have no choice!"

“Your brother wants a house to get married! We don’t have the money! We…we did it all for your brother, we’ve spent all our money on him! We’ve spent it all on him!”

"You...you're looking for...looking for the Yu family! They're the ones who bought you! Don't come looking for us! Let us go!"

The two of them completely broke down.

The despicable act of selling his dead daughter for personal gain in exchange for his son was laid bare at this moment.

They were like two stray dogs, tumbling and crawling around the living room, making a complete fool of themselves, crying and shouting to shirk responsibility.

The three members of the Yu family felt a chill run down their spines as they witnessed this ugly scene.

At the same time, they realized that they had probably been targeted by these greedy parents for a long time.

Their initial superstition and confusion made them accomplices in the couple's exploitation of Lin Xiudi's last remaining value.

Shen Yuepo withdrew her finger, and the chill subsided.

She looked at the beastly parents who would sell their daughter for their son with icy eyes.

She turned to the ashen-faced members of the Yu family and said, "Call the police."

Shen Yuepo's gaze swept over Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua, who were trembling on the ground, and his voice was clear and cold:

"Lin Xiudi did not die of cancer, but was deliberately killed by her biological parents."

Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua were terrified by Shen Yuepo's words.

Upon seeing Shen Yuepo call the police on the Yu family, the two completely broke down.

"No! Don't call the police!!" Wang Guihua burst into a deafening wail, crawling towards Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan on all fours.

Tears streaming down his face, he tried to hug Mu Ruoyan's leg:

"Mr. Yu, Mrs. Yu! Please, don't call the police! We were wrong! We really know we were wrong!"

"But...but we can't blame ourselves entirely! It's just that God is blind! It's fate!"

Lin Dazhu scrambled over, kowtowing repeatedly until his forehead turned a deep purplish-blue, his voice hoarse with fear.

"Spare us! We had no choice! We were really... really driven to the brink!"

Mu Ruoyan disgustedly avoided Wang Guihua's hand.

Yu Zhenghong's face turned ashen, and he roared, "Who forced you?!"

"Don't call the police! We really had no choice!"

As if grasping at the last straw, Wang Guihua began to sob incoherently:

"It's...it's the hospital, the hospital is the one that harmed us first!"

She was crying and sniffling:

"Back then, Xiudi fainted and was taken to the hospital. Those doctors in white coats said she had cancer, the incurable kind! It would cost a lot of money!"

Lin Dazhu quickly took the call, his voice trembling:

"We're just an ordinary family, where would we get so much money? Even if we sold everything we owned, it wouldn't be enough to fill that bottomless pit. Just when we were about to despair..."

A greedy expression appeared on his face:

"Right in the hospital corridor, we overheard someone whispering..."

"They say there's a very wealthy Yu family in the capital who just... just lost their young master, and they need to find a suitable match for a girl who just passed away..."

Wang Guihua eagerly added, her voice shrill:

"Yes! Yes! They also said they would give us a lot of money, enough for us and our son to live a good life for the rest of our lives."

"We...we were completely out of our minds back then!"

Lin Dazhu then proceeded to beat his chest and stamp his feet, displaying poor acting skills:

"Thinking that Xiudi is going to pass away soon anyway, rather than losing both her and her money, it's better to... better to do something for the family one last time and help her brother..."

“We…we found the master that the speaker mentioned…” Wang Guihua’s eyes flickered.

"That master looked like a capable person. He said he could handle it, but he wanted 50%..."

"We agreed..." Lin Dazhu's voice lowered, filled with guilt, "and we even signed a written agreement."

"But who...who knows!" Wang Guihua suddenly raised her voice, "Just two days after we signed the papers, those damned people at the hospital notified us that...that there was a mistake, that it wasn't cancer, just a big inflammation! It can be cured!"

Shen Yuepo looked at them coldly, "So, at that moment, greed blinded you to the last shred of humanity."

"At that moment, you weren't thinking about whether your daughter could be saved, but rather that the huge sum of money you had just received was about to slip away."

"You can't bear the thought of your huge sum of money, enough to buy your son a house and get him married, vanishing into thin air..."

Shen Yuepo's voice was as cold as ice, "So, you chose the most vicious path!"

"We...we have no choice!" Lin Dazhu cried, clutching his head. "We can only lie to Xiudi and say that the hospital has diagnosed her with a terminal illness, that there's no hope, and that we simply can't afford it anymore..."

“That girl has always been obedient and cared about us. She believed it and said she didn’t want to be a burden on her family and wait to die.”

"And you..."

Shen Yuepo's voice carried a chilling aura of hell:

"To make her die as expected, to ensure that this money stained with your daughter's blood could be obtained smoothly... you poisoned her food! Did you or didn't you?!"

"Stop talking! Stop talking!" Wang Guihua suddenly let out a shrill scream, covering her head with her hands, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

“We didn’t want this either, it’s just bad luck, it’s her fate! What can we do?! Qiangzi wants to get married… he wants a house… the bride price is so expensive, we…”

"So you killed her?!"

Yu Che could no longer hold back. He rushed forward, his eyes bloodshot, and pointed at Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua, who were slumped on the ground.

His voice trembled with anger and disgust:

"Are you even human? Do you even deserve to be parents?! That was your own daughter! You let her die for money, for your good-for-nothing son?!"

"You even sold her to someone else for a ghost marriage?! You...you're worse than pigs and dogs!"

Lin Dazhu collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. His last line of defense had crumbled completely. He murmured:

"It's all that master's fault... We didn't dare to do it at first, but... but that master gave us a kind of medicine, saying that taking it would make us feel like we had a serious, incurable illness that couldn't be detected... We... we had no choice..."

Yu Zhenghong and Mu Ruoyan were completely stunned after hearing this.

They never imagined that behind the ghost marriage lay such a horrific murder.

Mu Ruoyan's vision went black, and she nearly fainted.

Yu Zhenghong helped his wife up and looked at Lin Dazhu and Wang Guihua, who were acting like beasts on the ground. He felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

The living room was deathly silent.

Only the heavy breathing and desperate sobs of the Lin couple could be heard.
