Chapter 404 Do you want her to suffer the consequences?
After Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhen Huijuan and asked in a low voice, "Was my analysis correct?"
Zhen Huijuan remained silent for a long time, then nodded with a gloomy expression.
"After I died, Qi Yanjiao did go to Jinyan. She thought that without me, she could take advantage of the situation. Unexpectedly, Jinyan rejected her on the spot. Moreover, because Jinyan was quite emotional at the time and was being pestered by Qi Yanjiao, she lost control of her emotions and said some very bad things. This made Qi Yanjiao very angry, and she let it slip."
Gao Min and the others were somewhat surprised: "You mean she let it slip?"
"Um."
"And your male best friend..."
Zhen Huijuan's expression changed slightly: "He...he became suspicious. It's just a pity that before he could find any evidence, Qi Yanjiao made her move against him."
Upon hearing the word "take action," Gao Min was startled: "Could he... be dead too?"
“No, not at all.” Zhen Huijuan said with a mixture of relief and heartache. “Qi Yanjiao never intended to kill him; she just wanted to destroy him, as this young lady said.”
"this……"
"After I died, rumors started circulating at school that I had committed suicide by jumping off a building because I was heartbroken. Before that, Jin Yan had told Qi Yanjiao that I was his girlfriend."
"You mean, she had this rumor spread? But why would she do that?"
"Because she knew that even if I died, she wouldn't be able to have Jin Yan, and she also knew that Jin Yan's biggest dream was to finish university and become a great designer. So, she pinned my death on Jin Yan, causing him to be gossiped about at school, and secretly sabotaged the school to... expel him."
After hearing Zhen Huijuan's words, Gao Min and the others looked even uglier, finally understanding what Ye Wanxi meant by "if you can't have it, destroy it".
Ye Wanxi sensed the awkward atmosphere in the room, sighed, and brought up another person: "What about Sister Fu? How did she die?"
“Sister Fu…” Zhen Huijuan pursed her lips and said coldly, “Sister Fu is the department manager of the company where Qi Yanjiao interned after graduation. Because of her outstanding abilities, she is well-liked and taken care of by her superiors. After Qi Yanjiao joined the company, she encountered many problems at work. She couldn’t do anything well and was always being scolded. Sister Fu, on the other hand, was praised every day and was the focus of attention wherever she went. She suddenly felt unbalanced.”
"On one occasion, when Sister Fu was out discussing a collaboration, Qi Yanjiao learned that she had recently caught a cold and was taking cold medicine. So she egged everyone involved in the collaboration that day on to go and force her to drink. Sister Fu refused several times, but was still forced to drink a few glasses of wine, and eventually collapsed and died at the dinner table."
Gao Min and the others felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this, both for Qi Yanjiao's ruthlessness in wanting to eliminate others who were doing better than them, and for those fools who were easily instigated and inexplicably became Qi Yanjiao's killing tools, yet may still be unaware of it.
"A life is gone just like that, and Qi Yanjiao and those other people are completely unharmed?"
Zhen Huijuan's expression grew increasingly bitter: "What could possibly happen? Although the law states that causing death through excessive drinking is a crime, proving that crime is inherently difficult. If it were truly investigated, almost everyone present at the time would be implicated. They may be foolish, but as human beings, it's instinctive to seek advantage and avoid harm. Besides, Sister Fu isn't particularly favored at home, so the compensation from those people would be substantial..."
Zhen Huijuan left her next words brief, but Gao Min and the others already understood what she meant.
In most cases like this, the matter is pursued for civil liability. If the other party pays more compensation and the family doesn't pursue the matter further, the case might just be skirted and forgotten.
Unfortunately, the person who actually lost his life never received justice and will likely never find peace in death.
"No wonder such a terrifying thing as the Ghost Face Sore appears. If it were me, dying such a miserable death, I would never let her go even if I became a vengeful ghost!"
What's most infuriating is that they weren't the only victims.
But as far as Zhen Huijuan knew, there were four or five such innocent victims, including herself.
Qi Xiaolian felt increasingly cold as she listened, and belatedly realized why Ye Wanxi had emphasized the safety talisman on Gao Qiang's body earlier.
If it weren't for Gao Qiang carrying that thing, and if it weren't for his constant worry and companionship during this time, given the sins Qi Yanjiao had committed, she would have long since developed countless ghostly faces and died from complete rotting.
Thinking this, Qi Xiaolian unconsciously moved closer to Gao Qiang, as if only in this way could she gain some sense of security.
Gao Min felt a chill run down her spine as she listened, gritting her teeth as she said, "This woman is probably some kind of demon reincarnated, born a wicked person. She kills people just because they are in her way or get in her way. She's a complete psychopath. What's most terrifying is that she doesn't think she's done anything wrong and still wants to continue harming people."
Gao Min couldn't help but shudder at the thought of being "in-laws" with such a person.
Given Qi Xiaolian's status as a scapegoat, their relationship is one of "you die, I die." If they fail to bring her to justice this time, Qi Xiaolian's entire family, along with their own, will likely be wiped out by her!
“Wanxi, this matter cannot be left unattended. Even if not for the sake of these souls who died with humiliation, just to prevent more people from being killed by her, we cannot let her continue to get away with it.”
Ye Wanxi knew what Gao Min was worried about, and patted her hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, your parents have the peace charm you gave them, so they can't do anything to them for the time being."
Qi Xiaolian couldn't help but interject, "Miss Ye... could you also give me a few of those amulets? I mean, I'm willing to pay for them; I'm worried about my parents and my brother..."
Ye Wanxi glanced at her and nodded, saying, "Tell them to stay with Sister Gao's parents for the next few days. Also, send them a few more amulets so they can carry them with them at all times, in case Qi Yanjiao and her gang get desperate and try to drag you back."
Seeing how easy she was to talk to, Qi Xiaolian was both excited and touched, saying, "Okay, I'll send it to them as soon as it's light. Thank you, thank you."
After arranging matters between the Gao and Qi families, Ye Wanxi looked at Zhen Huijuan: "Do you want Qi Yanjiao to suffer the consequences of her actions? Do you want to save those innocent souls who have been victimized like you?"
Zhen Huijuan shuddered, gritted her teeth, and nodded, saying, "Yes! What do you want me to do?"
Ye Wanxi casually tossed out four yellow talismans: "Take these four talismans. Find those wandering souls as soon as possible and stick them on them before they commit murder. Bring them here once they've regained consciousness."
