Chapter 272 Evidence
Zhong Nianyao's questioning left Ling's father and mother unable to utter any rebuttal.
They were unwilling to believe Zhong Nianyao's words, nor did they want to believe that their son was a murderer. However, in their subconscious, they felt that what Zhong Nianyao said was true.
Chu Xu on the side was completely stunned. Before, he just thought that Ling Chao was a selfish person, but he didn't expect that Ling Chao was such a cruel person.
He didn't think Zhong Nianyao was lying at all, because there was no need for her to do so. Apart from the previous incident with the Pen Fairy, Ling Chao and Zhong Nianyao had no connection at all.
"I didn't, I didn't." Ling Chao shook his head and continued to defend himself, "I didn't do anything. I didn't kill anyone, nor did I harm anyone. Don't slander me here."
At this moment, he regretted coming to Zhong Nianyao. He had never expected that Zhong Nianyao would know all this. However, he would never admit it.
Moreover, when he did this, he had already erased all the evidence.
"Miss Zhong, you need to have solid evidence for what you say." Father Ling's expression was serious, and there was a hint of oppression when he spoke. "You said my son killed that girl. Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, show me the evidence!" Ling's mother, who was standing by, seemed to have grasped the key point and shouted at Zhong Nianyao, "If you can't show me the evidence, then don't slander my son here. Otherwise, I won't let you go."
No matter what, they absolutely could not admit what Zhong Nianyao said. If they really admitted what Zhong Nianyao said, it would be like pushing their son into the abyss.
"Uncle Ling, Aunt Ling," Chu Xu's face was not very good. "I asked Miss Zhong to come out for you today, not to let her accept your doubts. Whether you believe it or not, you shouldn't treat Miss Zhong like this!"
If he had known this was the case, he would never have gotten involved.
Ling's father and mother ignored Chu Xu. Their eyes fell on Zhong Nian Yao, as if waiting for Zhong Nian Yao to give an explanation.
Ling Chao on the side couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether his parents believed in him, but as long as they were still willing to protect him, that was enough.
“Puff—”
As one of the parties involved, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but laugh out loud, but her laughter was filled with endless sarcasm, "Mr. Ling, Mrs. Ling, I think you have made a mistake about one thing."
"This isn't a court, much less a public security bureau. We're not trying a case. I'm simply stating a fact. Whether you want to believe it or bury your head in the sand is your choice. It has nothing to do with me."
"Also, I'm not a judge, I'm just a bystander. As for what Ling Chao did, it doesn't matter whether there's evidence or not. Because I never intend to judge him, he will get his comeuppance."
The current Zhang Jing is Ling Chao's retribution.
Looking at Ling Chao's shiny black forehead, you know that his death is not far away.
When they heard Zhong Nianyao mention retribution, Ling's father and mother immediately came to their senses and remembered why they were here.
"Hubby, let's go," Ling's mother tugged at his father's sleeve and said, "This Zhong Nianyao doesn't have any real skills except for her big mouth. Let's not listen to her nonsense here any more. As long as we have money, I don't believe we can't find a master to take care of that female ghost."
Father Ling's brows twitched slightly, and he also planned to leave.
Because he could see that Zhong Nianyao would not be able to help today. After listening to what Zhong Nianyao said, he became more certain of this idea.
Ling Chao was his son, and even though he was a bastard, he couldn't just stand by and watch. Regardless of whether what Zhong Nianyao said was true or not, he couldn't just watch Ling Chao die.
However, he also secretly made a decision in his heart that after this matter was settled, he would keep a close eye on Ling Chao and absolutely could not allow this bastard to continue like this.
Ling's father and mother were about to leave with Ling Chao.
Just as they turned around, Zhong Nianyao's voice rang out again, "You can go find whoever you want, but I can tell you that all this is absolutely futile. Within three days, Ling Chao will be dead."
Looking at Ling Chao's deathly appearance, three days was a conservative estimate. If things continued like this, Ling Chao might not even survive tomorrow.
Zhong Nianyao's words made Ling's father, Ling's mother and Ling Chao feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, freezing cold all over.
"Zhong Nianyao, shut up."
Ling's mother couldn't hold it in any longer and turned around and started cursing, "How dare you curse my son? I'm telling you, if anything really happens to my son, I will never let you go."
"I simply stated a fact." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Also, your son is going to die because of the murder he committed in the past. It's retribution for him. It has nothing to do with me."
Ling's mother wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ling Chao.
Ling Chao's face was even paler than when he first came in. If you looked closely, you could even see that his lips were trembling.
Because at this moment he was afraid, afraid that what Zhong Nian Yao said was true.
He knew from the previous experience of summoning the spirit of the pen that Zhong Nianyao was definitely not an ordinary person. Now that Zhong Nianyao had set a countdown for his life, he felt endless panic in his heart.
Just a few simple words made Father Ling slow down his steps.
He gritted his teeth, turned around, and came to Zhong Nianyao, "Miss Zhong, what do you mean?"
"I didn't mean anything." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I'm just kindly reminding you to be prepared, so that if something unexpected happens, you won't be able to cope with it!"
Hearing this, Ling's father and mother looked unhappy.
They all heard clearly what Zhong Nianyao meant, which was that Ling Chao would die soon and asked them to be prepared.
Which parent would be happy to hear such words!
They originally just wanted to ask Zhong Nian Yao for help in catching ghosts today, but they didn't expect that in the end the three of them would become a joke.
