Chapter 50
He Tao was furious and couldn't rest for the whole day. His anger immediately surged up. He snatched the toy gun from Cui Lelin's hand and threw it to the side, breaking it into two pieces.
It was the first time that Cui Lelin saw He Tao lose his temper. When Cui Linlin was around, He Tao never showed any dissatisfaction.
He Tao in front of him seemed like a different person.
Tears welled up in Cui Lelin's eyes. He looked at Xian Hetao with a wronged expression and couldn't help crying.
After letting out his temper, He Tao finally realized that he was in the wrong. He squatted in front of Cui Lelin, put on the appearance of a kind old father, and wiped the tears from Cui Lelin's face.
"Dad was thinking about something just now and didn't notice you. It's my fault, Lele. Daddy apologizes to you. Don't cry."
Seeing Cui Lelin slowly wipe away her tears, He Tao looked around and found that An Yun was not there, and asked in confusion,
"Le Le, aren't you going to class today? Why didn't Aunt An send you to school?"
"I have a stomachache, so Aunt An asked for leave for me, so I didn't go to school today."
Cui Lelin answered while holding back his tears, his little face full of grievance, and he looked very well-behaved and sensible.
He Tao had no doubt at all.
That night, He Tao forced himself to keep his eyelids open and didn't dare to fall asleep at all.
The next day, Cui Linlin's funeral was hastily arranged.
At the same time, at ten o'clock in the morning, Cui Linlin's body was pushed out of the morgue and prepared for cremation.
"This woman is so miserable. After she died, her husband never came to see her. The only time he came was yesterday. He insisted that the body moved and ran out on its own. It's ridiculous."
"I think it's probably because the man did something bad and he doesn't dare to see his wife. He must have had a nightmare in the middle of the night and was really scared, hahahaha."
The staff at the crematorium were chatting and laughing as they were preparing to push the body into the furnace.
Just as they reached the stove, the corpse lying on the small bed suddenly sat up, turned to face the two of them, and slowly raised his eyelids in front of them, revealing a pair of whites. His black eyeballs had long rolled back in, and his lifeless eye sockets were covered with bloodshot.
The two men watched this scene in horror, their hands and feet frozen, unable to move at all, let alone escape.
The female corpse was seen turning her neck 360 degrees, her bones creaking, and her head on her neck shaking so violently that it seemed as if it would be twisted off at any moment.
The corpse got out of bed with ease, touched the ground with his toes, and walked to the door of the crematorium on a pair of pale feet. Suddenly, the head on his neck turned 180 degrees, facing the two people again, and stretched out a hand to point at one of them.
The man's legs weakened instantly and he fell to the ground, clasping his hands together and pleading devoutly.
"I swear, I didn't see anything. Don't kill me, don't kill me. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of."
After saying that, he felt wetness under his body, and a light-colored liquid flowed out.
The female corpse turned and pointed at another person, who immediately knelt down with a "thump" and spoke tremblingly,
"I didn't see anything either. Please don't kill me. I have an 80-year-old grandmother at home to support."
The two of them kowtowed to "her" in tacit understanding.
With a "bang" sound, the door of the crematorium closed.
When they looked up, the female corpse had disappeared. The two slowly came to their senses and quickly picked up their phones to call the police.
"Hello, is this 110? Officer, there's a ghost here!"
At the funeral, He Tao was receiving guests, and An Yun was standing at the door of the hotel, with an uncontrollable smile on his face and his eyes glued to the gifts brought by the guests entering.
"Great God, please help me catch this female ghost. She has taken on the appearance of my dead wife and must be trying to harm me. Money won't be a problem after this."
Seeing Lin Sheng coming, He Tao hurried to greet him and expressed his needs in an anxious manner. His face was uneasy, but it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
Lin Sheng's face was expressionless, but he smiled after hearing the last sentence and responded cheerfully.
"Don't worry, Mr. He. As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine. Take me to see the funeral first."
With this, He Tao felt relieved. He quickly made a "please" gesture and took the initiative to show Lin Sheng around.
What was different from other funerals was that there was also a sorcerer in Taoist robes at the Cui family's funeral.
The sorcerer was wearing a black robe with yellow stripes, a black Taoist hat, and holding a peach wood sword. The entire funeral venue was covered with low-quality yellow Taoist talismans, and three white candles were lit in front of the table. The sorcerer muttered a few words, ran his fingers across the peach wood sword, and swung the sword into the air, making an incomprehensible but quite imposing movement.
The dancing appearance shocked the whole venue. Although the scene seemed funny, the sorcerer was able to complete it with a serious face, which was quite convincing. The last blow was aimed at the black and white female figure in the center of the funeral.
Lin Sheng stopped and watched the whole performance patiently. He frowned slightly and asked curiously,
"What are you doing? It looks very imposing."
He Tao's face darkened and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the second half of the sentence.
It turns out that Lin Sheng didn’t understand.
Knowing this, He Tao no longer had any scruples. His eyes seemed dim, and there was indeed a layer of heartache in his eyebrows.
"A ceremony to pray for the deceased's soul must ensure Linlin's peaceful passing, otherwise I won't be able to rest in peace."
Little did they know that Lin Sheng had already seen through everything. The pattern on the yellow talisman was not for salvation at all, but for driving away ghosts and evil spirits.
He Tao has something to hide!
After thinking about it again, Lin Sheng looked enlightened and praised him generously.
"Mr. He is so thoughtful. I believe your wife and you loved each other very much when you were alive."
He Tao couldn't help but smile, and said modestly,
"It's all what we should do. Don't worry about it, Master. I'll take you over there to have a look."
But at this moment, an unexpected guest arrived at the funeral.
"Where's He Tao? Call He Tao out! He Tao, He Tao! You killed my sister, so you should pay for her life. How dare you pretend to be a good husband here! Get out here!"
However, the security guards at the scene did not dare to stop the other party because they saw his luxurious clothes and intimidating aura, for fear that he had offended some important person.
An Yun was waiting at the door to receive the guests. He had no idea that Cui Yu would come back from abroad specially. She was clearly not invited to the funeral!
He could only bite the bullet and go ahead. An Yun trotted forward and stood in front of Cui Yu.
"Sister Cui Yu? Why did you come back so suddenly without telling us in advance? I could have sent someone to pick you up."
Seeing An Yun's smile that was uglier than crying, Cui Yu was furious and had a hunch that there was something fishy. He glanced at An Yun's outfit and saw that the earrings she was wearing were clearly Cui Linlin's!
“Bang!”
A loud slap landed on An Yun's face. Cui Yu snorted coldly. The earrings were so dazzling that she grabbed An Yun's ears, as if she wanted to tear them off directly. Her eyes were fierce.
"Are you He Tao's secretary? Oh no, someone who rolls into the same bed with you isn't called a secretary. This pair of earrings belongs to Linlin. How dare you wear them outside? Aren't you afraid of offending everyone here?"
Everyone present was stunned and frightened by Cui Yu's momentum. No one dared to step forward to stop the fight.
An Yun's face showed a painful expression, with a striking red slap mark. Tears as big as beans fell involuntarily. She had never expected Cui Yu to take action in front of everyone. Anger and humiliation intertwined. An Yun looked at her with a pitiful face.
"Sister Cui Yu, you've wronged me. I'm just helping Mr. He. There's no personal relationship between us. The earrings were given to me by Sister Linlin before she passed away."
Cui Yu didn't listen at all and deliberately raised his voice.
"My sister was in good health, how could she have died suddenly? Moreover, given Linlin's personality, suicide is simply impossible. This is clearly murder. This pair of bastards must have conspired to murder my sister!"
Lin Sheng stood aside and watched the fight, hearing the guests' chatter.
"Cui Linlin was a strong woman when she was alive. To say she committed suicide is absolutely impossible!"
"Who says it's not? When she walked in just now, the woman had a smile on her face. She didn't look sad at all. If you knew it was a funeral, you would have thought it was her wedding banquet."
"I've heard for a long time that Cui Linlin and He Tao are not in harmony. It turns out that the scumbag has a mistress outside."
"He Tao built his career by marrying into the Cui family. Now that his net worth has increased, he's forgotten his roots."
He Tao listened to the gossip at the scene, and his face was so embarrassed that he rushed out immediately.
"Sister, today is Linlin's funeral. It's not nice for you to make such a fuss."
Cui Yu was not happy with He Tao and glared at him unkindly.
"I didn't want to make a scene, but there were dirty things at the funeral, and I was afraid it would offend Linlin. He, you deliberately moved up the funeral and didn't even notify me, your sister. What are your intentions?"
"I'm worried you won't be able to make it back in time. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if you made a wasted trip? If you have anything to say, wait until the funeral is over. It won't be good for Linlin if we make a scene now."
It was as if he was trying to shut Cui Yu's mouth, but Cui Yu would not give up easily. Seeing He Tao reaching out his hand to pull her away, Cui Yu aimed at her lower body and kicked her with a pair of high heels, hitting her accurately. She did not forget to add,
"If you can't control it, it will be useless!"
He Tao covered his lower body in pain, his face turned red instantly, and he fell to the ground.
"Boss...Mr. He!"
An Yun screamed, almost exposed, rushed to He Tao to ask about his condition, and angrily ordered the security guard,
"Why are you still standing there? Get her out right away!"
Several security guards looked at each other, stepped forward hesitantly, and planned to carry Cui Yu away.
The two sides were entangled, and Cui Yu killed several men, but the other party did not dare to really attack her because of her identity.
"Stop! Police!"
Cui Yu suddenly heard a shout in his ear. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man showing his ID in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, Cui Yu felt more confident. He let go of the head in his hand, gave it a push, and ran to Xu Guannan.
"Officer, I want to report this to the police. This pair of bastards conspired to kill my sister!"
"Is your sister Cui Linlin? We received a report from the crematorium half an hour ago saying that Cui Linlin's body was missing."
In order to avoid panic, Xu Guannan deliberately concealed part of the truth, and also to test He Tao.
