Chapter 185 Murphy's Law
When we returned to the Zhong family, it was already early morning.
Zhong Nianyao was very cautious, for fear of disturbing Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong.
However, she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she saw Mr. Zhong waiting for her in the living room. For a moment, she actually felt a little guilty.
"Haha, Grandpa, you haven't slept yet!" Zhong Nianyao smiled playfully and walked to Grandpa Zhong's side, acting coquettishly, "It's so late and you're still not asleep. Tomorrow you will definitely have big dark circles under your eyes when you go to see your old friends. They will definitely laugh at you."
"Don't be so playful." Old Master Zhong said with a stern face, "You know it's very late now, so why did you come back now?"
"Grandpa, today's situation is special!" Zhong Nianyao still smiled, "I'm going to help. You know, this is a supernatural event! The ghost can't appear in broad daylight!"
"Tell me exactly what happened today." Mr. Zhong's expression remained serious. "Don't try to get away with it."
"Grandpa, it's getting late." Zhong Nianyao glanced at the time, "Besides, this is a long story, why don't we-"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mr. Zhong, "Then make it short. If you don't explain things clearly tonight, we'll just stay here."
Seeing Mr. Zhong's insistence, Zhong Nianyao could only tell him what happened today. However, she certainly wouldn't tell him everything honestly. She simply gave a brief account, omitting many details. In particular, she skipped over the dangers of the evil spirit.
Even so, Mr. Zhong was still terrified when he heard it.
After listening to this, he fell silent. After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yaoyao, you used to be so willful and stubborn. Your grandma and I were most worried about you. But now that you've become so powerful, we're still most worried about you."
"Grandpa, you can rest assured," Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "I know how much I weigh, and I also cherish my life. The reason I was willing to take action today is because I know I can handle it. If my life is really in danger, I will definitely run faster than anyone else."
"Really?" Mr. Zhong's tone was full of doubt. "Why do I feel like you're just trying to fool me?"
"No, Grandpa," Zhong Nianyao pointed to her eyes and said, "Look at the sincerity in my eyes. I'm a good child, how could I lie to you?"
Looking at Zhong Nianyao's expression, Old Master Zhong couldn't help but sigh again, "Yaoyao, I don't know what you're thinking. But I hope that before you do anything, you'll think carefully about me and your grandma. We don't ask for anything great from you, we just hope that you can be safe and sound."
"Your father has been missing for so many years. If something happens to you again, how can we accept it?"
After hearing what Grandpa Zhong said, Zhong Nianyao was stunned for a moment. Her heart couldn't help but be touched by Grandpa Zhong's words. Finally, she could only speak, "Grandpa, I know. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me."
On the other side, Hei Wuchang had already taken the evil ghost back to the underworld and reported everything to the King of Hell.
The King of Hell was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. At the same time, the evil spirit was required to endure the tortures of every level of hell before being allowed to reincarnate.
Moreover, because it has devoured many souls, the evil ghost will never be able to be reborn as a human being in the next hundred lives. It will be reduced to the animal realm and suffer all kinds of suffering in the world.
After what happened that night, Zhong Nianyao still paid attention to the follow-up of the case.
The police have announced that the murderer of the Huanshan Road serial murder case has been arrested. The murderer resisted when being arrested and was shot dead on the spot.
The announcement of this news made all the citizens breathe a sigh of relief in an instant.
However, according to the police, while investigating the case, a body was found on Huanshan Road more than a year ago. The person must have been killed somewhere else and then dumped here.
Soon, the corpse dumping case was solved and all the related murderers were arrested.
At this point, the entire case came to an end.
After this incident, Zhong Nianyao's life returned to normal.
Time flies, and summer vacation is about to come.
At the college, everyone is preparing for the final exams.
Of course, the hardest-working students are those who were specially admitted, especially those who were admitted because of their good grades. Their scholarships depend on their final exam results. Furthermore, if they fail to maintain their grades, their special admission status will be revoked, and they will then be unable to afford the high tuition fees.
Zhong Nian Yao was not too worried. For one thing, the tuition fee was just child's play for her now. Even without the property left by Zhong Mingxin, she could still afford it with her own ability.
Secondly, she had already started learning this knowledge since she came to this world. Although she had not learned this knowledge before, she had the memories of the original owner, and she had some talent, so although she could not say that she would definitely be at the top, she was not far behind.
Walking leisurely on the campus, Zhong Nianyao was in a good mood until she met someone she didn't want to see.
Looking at Chen Lian'er and Shen Yixue walking towards her, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This Tenglong Academy is obviously quite large, but why does she always run into people she doesn't want to see?
Is this what others call Murphy's Law, that the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen?
However, she was still a little surprised to see the two people walking together.
After Shen Yixue was exposed for stealing her paintings, Chen Lian'er didn't know whether it was to avoid suspicion or because she felt embarrassed, but she began to distance herself from Shen Yixue. Sometimes she would even turn away when she saw Shen Yixue from a distance, or even not say hello even when they met face to face.
However, now seeing the two of them talking and laughing like this, it seemed as if they had returned to their old intimacy. Was it because Shen Yixue's charm was too great, or was it because of some other reason?
But no matter what the reason is, it has little to do with her.
