Chapter 264 Free Lunch
Because of Zheng Tong's trust, Zheng De and Wu Yueshang quickly completed all the steps, borrowed Zheng Tong's destiny, and then put it on Zheng Kangjian through the Taoist priest.
After that, Zheng Kangjian seemed completely different. It was hard to pinpoint what was different, but he was different. He was no longer unlucky, and his health was very good.
A month ago, they received a call from Zheng Tong, saying that he was seriously ill and was in the hospital. He might die at any time, and he hoped they could go over.
After receiving the call, the couple secretly felt lucky that they had made the right choice. If they hadn't found Zheng Tong to kill him, their son would have been lying in the hospital, barely surviving.
They didn't feel guilty at all about doing such a thing. In their view, since they raised Zheng Tong, she belonged to them and they had the right to make any decision.
However, they never expected that Zheng Tong actually found his biological son and even found someone to take back all the borrowed life span.
"Bitch, that bitch." Wu Yuechang kept cursing. "I raised her for so many years, and this is how she repays kindness with hatred. If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled her to death from the beginning."
"Don't make yourself sound so great."
Zhong Nianyao looked at Zheng De and Wu Yueshang and sneered, "You didn't pick up Chu Tong. You saw that she was pretty and wanted to sell her to someone else. You didn't expect the police to investigate so strictly, and your friends and family all knew about her. You were afraid that your true intentions would be discovered, so you had no choice but to keep Chu Tong."
"However, your original plan was to wait until Chu Tong reached marriageable age, then use her to earn a large sum of money as a betrothal gift! But then something happened to your son, so you changed your mind."
Chu Xu, who was standing by, finally understood the reason for his cousin's disappearance. He started cursing at Zheng De and Wu Yueshang, "You two unscrupulous couple, do you know what you have done? It's because of you that my cousin and uncle have been separated for so many years."
"You stole someone else's child and didn't treat him well. You will get what you deserve."
After being hit on all the questions by Zhong Nianyao, Zheng De and Wu Yueshang became desperate and their faces turned grim.
"So what?" Zheng De said shamelessly, "Even if what you said is true, so what? Do you have any evidence? We will never admit what you said. Even if you go to the police station to report it, it will be of no use."
Looking at Zheng De's arrogant look, Chu Xu was furious.
"Evidence?" Zhong Nianyao smiled. "Why do I need evidence? If I want to send you to jail, then I need evidence! But if I really want to retaliate against you, even if I don't send you to jail, I can make you suffer a thousand times more!"
When she said this, her eyes rolled, and her words pierced Zheng De and Wu Yueshang's hearts. "Your son only has three days left to live. How do you know this isn't retribution for you? He's the only son you'll ever have. After he dies, you'll spend the rest of your lives in poverty and torture. This outcome should be much more satisfying than sending you to prison!"
"That's right," Chu Xu beside him also regained his composure. He said with a smile, "And the adopted daughter you have always abused and looked down upon will return to her own warm family, be loved by her parents, cared for by her brothers and sisters, and marry a good man in the future. She will live a rich and happy life, surrounded by children, and finally live a long and happy life and die of old age."
After hearing Chu Xu's infuriating words, Zheng De and Wu Yueshang were irritated. However, due to the presence of so many bodyguards, they dared not do anything.
"My son will not die."
As if she had thought of something, a glimmer of hope appeared in Wu Yuechang's eyes, which had been filled with despair. "Don't think that we will be scared just because you are playing tricks here. I tell you, even if all of you die, my son will never die."
Zheng Kangjian, who was originally in despair, couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope in his eyes after hearing Wu Yueshang's affirmative words.
"You are pinning your hopes on that Taoist priest!" Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "If that's what you really think, then I advise you to give up on this idea!"
"What do you mean?" Wu Yueshang's pupils shrank slightly. When she looked at Zhong Nianyao, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and even her voice was trembling, which she herself did not notice. "Did you do something?"
"Haha, you still haven't understood one thing," Zhong Nianyao shook her head, a look of regret on her face. "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Tell me, why did that Taoist priest suddenly come to you? Why was he willing to help you? And what value did he get from you that he could exchange for?"
Three consecutive questions left Wu Yueshang speechless.
At this moment, she and Zheng De couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw worry and confusion in each other's eyes.
Before, they had never thought about this. But now thinking about it, whether it was the appearance of the Taoist priest or the fact that the Taoist priest didn't ask for anything and directly helped them borrow their lives.
Listening to it now, I found that this matter was really full of weirdness. Especially since it was just as Zhong Nianyao said, the Taoist priest did not ask for any reward.
But, are there really such kind people in this world who don't ask for anything in return? No matter how I look at it, it feels wrong.
"Idiot." Zhong Nianyao sneered and said, "He doesn't really want to help you. His purpose is also Chu Tong's fate."
"It's just that what he wants is Chu Tong's luck, while what you need more is Chu Tong's longevity. He can't get close to Chu Tong, but you can."
At first, she thought that Chu Tong's life span and luck were borrowed by Zheng Kangjian. However, after breaking the story of borrowing life, she found that the luck that belonged to Chu Tong in Zheng Kangjian was just some remnants.
