Chapter 342 Help
"What do you mean?"
Li Jingming's body trembled, and the shock on his face could not be concealed. He looked at Zhong Nianyao steadily, as if he wanted to see something from the other's face.
At this moment, his heartbeat became so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest. He even wondered if he had heard something he shouldn't have heard.
"It means exactly what it says." Zhong Nianyao's eyes rolled, and a smile with a hint of mischief appeared on her face. "That's why I said you two are a perfect match! If you go find her now, maybe you can be together!"
After saying that, she turned around and left in style.
Li Jingming, who was left there, was in turmoil. He didn't know whether what Zhong Nianyao said was true or not, nor did he know why Zhong Nianyao told him this.
At noon, Zhong Nianyao arrived at the restaurant where she had made an appointment with Lu Yichen. As soon as she entered, she saw Lu Yichen already waiting inside.
"Why are you here so early?" Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised. "I thought you would be late!"
"After finishing my work, I came directly here."
Lu Yichen stood up and pulled out a chair for Zhong Nianyao. "I've already ordered the dishes, all of which you like. Now let them serve them online!"
Zhong Nianyao naturally had no objection. After sitting down and drinking a sip of tea, she asked, "Any news about that Zixiao Zhenren?"
Lu Yichen shook his head and then said, "No, but the special department checked the files and found that a similar incident happened in a small town in the south seven years ago. However, at that time, someone discovered something was wrong very early and dealt with it quickly."
"However, even though it was discovered in time, several people still died that time."
After hearing what Lu Yichen said, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown, "Weren't you able to track down that Zixiao Zhenren at that time?"
"He had already escaped before the special department arrived." Lu Yichen continued, "But, he was probably still young at that time! So he still left a loophole."
"What's the flaw?"
"He has revealed his true identity," Lu Yichen said. "So, the Special Department now has a portrait of this Zixiao Zhenren. Over the years, the Special Department has actually been looking for him."
Zhong Nianyao nodded. "What happened seven years ago, it seems that he was far less experienced back then! Otherwise he wouldn't have revealed his true face. But it's been seven years, and there's still no news. He must be quite cautious now."
"Now that he's appeared again, we absolutely cannot let him get away so easily." A cold glint flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes. "Now most of the special department's power is concentrated on this case. This time, we absolutely cannot let this Zixiao Zhenren escape again!"
Zhong Nianyao nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, the waiter came to serve the food.
While Lu Yichen was picking up some food and picking out some fish bones for Zhong Nianyao, he asked, "Did things go well for the Zhu family today?"
"The five ghosts have been successfully reincarnated." Zhong Nianyao said lightly, "However, the Zhu family can't escape this disaster."
"Is the Zhu family playing tricks?" Lu Yichen immediately guessed the crux of the matter. "They can't bear to part with their wealth, right?"
Zhong Nianyao nodded, "Zhu Yu kept something back and didn't donate all the money as agreed!"
"You're courting death!" Lu Yichen said coldly, without a trace of sympathy in his tone.
"Indeed, he thought he was being very secretive!" Zhong Nianyao sneered. "Even if he could hide it from everyone, he couldn't hide it from Heaven. All this money was obtained by relying on the Five Ghosts to bring wealth, so it was ill-gotten gains to begin with."
"If it's donated, there won't be any impact. Now the sins committed by the Zhu family over the years have come back to haunt them. Add to that the punishment for these ill-gotten gains, and I'm afraid the Zhu family will be completely wiped out this time."
"That's his own choice," Lu Yichen said coldly. "Since he thinks money is so important, more important than the lives of his descendants, then he must bear the corresponding consequences."
"I know." Zhong Nianyao sighed helplessly, "I just think that there are still one or two people among them who have done nothing wrong, but in the end they were still implicated."
"They are not innocent," Lu Yichen said directly. "They were born with original sin. Moreover, they have been supported by the Zhu family for so many years, enjoying the Zhu family's luxurious living. Naturally, they must bear the consequences of the Zhu family's sins."
"I understand everything you said." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head, "I just still feel a little regretful."
However, that was all. She wasn't a saint, nor a savior, so she wouldn't take everything on herself. Even Zhu Yu, a blood relative, didn't care about his own descendants. As an outsider, she shouldn't be here worrying about it.
Seeing that Zhong Nianyao's mood seemed to be affected, Lu Yichen directly changed the subject, "School is about to start, what are your plans for the future?"
Hearing Lu Yichen's question, Zhong Nianyao tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then shook her head. "I don't have any special arrangements, but I've taken on a business deal. I've made an appointment in a few days, and I'm going to go take a look."
She was talking about Liu Zihang's aunt, who had agreed to let her go and see him, but it would take a few days, so she would have to make another appointment.
Lu Yichen nodded, "Then I'll go with you!"
"No need." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Just go and take care of your own business! I can handle such a small matter by myself."
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's persistence, Lu Yichen didn't say anything else.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Zhong Nianyao suddenly said, "I need your help with this."
Then, she told the story of the little evil spirit Qiao Qiao.
"Qiao Qiao's death was quite unjust, and she was killed by her own biological father. She holds a deep grudge and has become a fierce ghost. If this case is not solved and the murderer is not punished, she will not be able to reincarnate."
She still felt very sympathetic towards this little ghost, and naturally hoped that she could be reincarnated as soon as possible.
"Okay," Lu Yichen agreed, "I will have the relevant departments investigate this matter as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice."
What he cared about was not the little devil, but Zhong Nianyao. Since this matter had already affected Zhong Nianyao's mood, it should be resolved as soon as possible.
