Transmigrated into the Cannon Fodder's Daughter - Chapter 54.2

“I don’t know anything! I didn’t set the fire! It wasn’t me!”    

“You’re looking for Zeng Lunian! He did it!”

“I wasn’t the one who pushed you!”

Zhan Jiayin was trapped in a nightmare. She was surrounded by ghosts who clawed, choked, and tortured her. They stared at her, forcing her to envision their tragic deaths. They made her experience what it had felt like being killed by Zeng Lunian.

Zhan Jiayin was going crazy. Why was everyone blaming her? She was obviously innocent.  

Regret began to fill her heart. Perhaps she shouldn’t have saved Zeng Lunian. Although Zhan Jiayin had sensed something suspicious from Zeng Lunian, he had acted normally in front of her and treated her well. How could she report him? So she had helped Zeng Lunian make fake documents. He had told her he was being chased and couldn’t use his real ID. Zhan Jiayin pitied him and used her contacts to get him a new ID.

She hadn’t known he had done so many heartless things. She thought the worst he had done was put unfavorable Feng Shui on someone’s home.

Zhan Jiayin knew she was dreaming, but she couldn’t wake up. She could only struggle in vain.

While she was trapped in her nightmare, the police were watching from the surveillance.

Zhan Jiayin had been detained by the police for interrogation but insisted that she had been entirely unaware of Zeng Lunian’s doings. However, halfway through she suddenly fell asleep and found herself trapped in a nightmare.

The tall police officer, Lin Yuan, recorded what Zhan Jiayin said in her dream. His eyebrows creased.

 According to his knowledge, Zeng Lunian had burned several people to death and pushed people to their death. All of this information was recited by Zhan Jiayin in her dream.

Lin Yuan grunted, realizing the lies behind Zhan Jiayin’s words. With her excellent acting skills, she was truly worthy of being a movie queen.

Lin Yuan’s colleague nudged him. “Look at her neck. Is that a pinch mark?”

When Zhan Jiayin was locked in Li Xiao’s house, there had been no marks on her body. But now, her white skin had a rather conspicuous bruised. Fingerprint marks were clearly visible on her neck, as if she had been choked. They appeared not only on her neck but her arms and all over her exposed skin.

Lin Yuan composed himself. He knew rather little about ghosts and gods, but he could tell that this was something akin to a ghost’s revenge.

But they couldn’t use this evidence to convict her.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan’s cell phone rang. He had received a text message from an unknown number.

The message only had one sentence. “Zeng Lunian came back in September by plane to meet with Zhan Jiayin.”

Lin Yuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. Last year, Zeng Lunain had been wanted, so he didn’t dare to use his own ID to commute. However, if he was able to return by plane, someone must have helped him. Lin Yuan was highly suspicious of Zhan Jiayin. If he followed this lead, there was bound to be more evidence.

*****

Of course, Li Xiao was the one who had alerted Lin Yuan. But Li Xiao wasn’t stupid enough to use her own personal phone number to contact him. She had Zhang Yan buy a second phone number to contact him.

Li Xiao was confident in the government’s capability. Using her tip, they would be able to find out more. Maybe Zhan Jiayin would go to jail together with her precious son, Li Qianxing, in the future.

How wonderful.

The sparrow spirit called with great enthusiasm and described how several of Li Xiao’s family members had been trapped in the illusion. They were only able to escape at dawn. According to the sparrow spirit, the illusion had been rather frightening, and people were bound to avoid Li Xiao’s villa for a while, especially Qu Lian and Li Qianfei. They were so scared they missed their pants and were terribly traumatized. The sparrow spirit, a narrow-minded brat, snapped a picture of them in tears.

Of course, Li Xiao wasn’t feeling the slightest bit of guilt. They deserved it! How dare they break into a Taoist master’s home?

After this, the Li family should have learned their lesson. If Li Xiao hadn’t gotten angry, people would have thought they could have taken advantage of her.

【Xiao Xiao, that driver is despicable. He actually used his card to let Li Nanjue and the others in!】

The sparrow spirit was furious.

Li Xiao was prepared for it. She sent a text to the driver, asking him not to come in the future. She wasn’t short of money right now, so she could hire her own driver. But before that, there was one more thing she had to do.

She wanted to see if she could find the original Li Xiao’s soul.
