"Wait a moment!"
Yang Lihuan suddenly blocked He Wenwu’s path.
"My daughter only harmed two lives, and you have to take her away? We'll pay money for it!"
He Wenwu was speechless at her logic.
He simply pushed her aside and forcibly restrained Liu Mei, saying, "If you want to settle this with money, then negotiate with the victim's family. As for your daughter's murder for wealth, she must be punished! And your son, Liu Feilong, I'm taking him too!"
Yang Lihuan's eyes went black, and she almost collapsed onto the ground.
She naturally knew that negotiating with the Zhang family was meaningless.
Liu Feilong shouted, "No! If you're taking someone, take my sister, don't take me!"
He looked at Chen Jie excitedly, "Chen Jie, didn't you say that if I did as you said, you'd spare my life? I've done everything you asked, why are you still..."
Before he could finish, his head also went black, the poison in his body flared up, and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Chen Jie walked up to him and said, "I promised to spare your life. Now that you're unconscious, no one can do anything to you, so I've kept my word."
"You, you devil!"
Seeing her son collapse, Yang Lihuan couldn't accept the reality.
She pointed at Chen Jie and angrily said, "You'll face retribution! When my daughter inherits Zhang Cheng's assets, I'll use that money to kill you!"
Chen Jie sneered, "Still thinking about Zhang Cheng's assets? Your daughter is suspected of murder for wealth. Do you think she still has the right to inherit any estate?"
"What?" Yang Lihuan and Yang Shan exclaimed in unison.
Liu Mei was also filled with despair.
"We're not getting anything now?" Yang Shan asked, unable to accept it.
"Bao, don't get agitated..."
Yang Shan slapped Yang Lihuan across the face: "Not agitated? Why shouldn't I be agitated? I followed you, this old woman, purely for money! Now your daughter has no money, so I get nothing?"
"You slut, you incompetent waste! You couldn't even commit murder for wealth professionally, and you got caught with evidence! Your whole family are idiots, wastes!"
Yang Shan, agitated, lunged at Liu Mei and slapped her several times.
"You..."
Liu Mei was both angry and anxious.
"I'll beat you to death!"
Yang Shan seemed unable to accept the reality and continued to slap her, repeatedly.
He kicked and punched Liu Mei.
No one stepped forward to intervene.
The Zhang family watched with cold eyes, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
"Let go of my daughter!" Yang Lihuan, in her agitation, shoved Yang Shan hard.
*Crash!*
Yang Shan's body fell directly out of the window.
"Ah!"
Everyone gasped.
This was the eighteenth floor; there was almost no chance of survival if someone fell from here.
No one dared to look down.
"Mom!" Liu Mei cried out.
He Wenwu said with a dark expression, "Madam, you just committed murder, so you are now under arrest."
He had been too engrossed in the drama and had forgotten to intervene.
"My son won't live much longer, and my daughter will be punished! And you still want to take me away? Are you trying to drive our family to death?"
"Wuwu... I don't want to live anymore!"
In her agitation, Yang Lihuan grabbed the car window, kicked off, and leaped out.
"Don't!"
He Wenwu shouted, but it was too late. No one expected her to be so brave.
"Mom! Ah..."
Liu Mei stared blankly for a moment, then covered her face and let out a piercing scream that lasted for a full fifteen minutes.
Afterward, she cried and laughed, murmuring to herself, saying who knows what.
Liu Mei had gone mad.
Thus, Zhang Xinyan completely inherited Zhang Cheng's fortune and became a young woman worth hundreds of billions.
Seeing that there was nothing more for him, Chen Jie quietly slipped away.
He felt no sympathy for Liu Mei's family.
He also began to carry out his own mission.
Li Ziling.
Chen Jie looked at the information on his phone with a sigh.
Tong Hao had arranged an apartment for him, directly next door to Li Ziling's.
He followed the address and soon arrived at Longyue residential area.
Li Ziling lived on the second floor, and Chen Jie's apartment was also there.
However, Li Ziling did not seem to be home at the moment. Chen Jie entered his room; all the daily necessities were fully equipped.
Chen Jie frowned and looked around. Although the air here was good, the population density was high, so the spiritual energy was very thin.
Fortunately, he still had a large number of spirit stones, and cultivating now did not require a demanding external environment.
Before long, it was noon. Chen Jie ordered takeout, ate, and then prepared to report to the Dance Academy.
"It's you!"
As he stepped out the door, he ran into Li Ziling.
Li Ziling pointed at Chen Jie, her face filled with terror.
She had just moved in, why was he here?
Had he followed her all the way to her home?
"What a coincidence, we meet again," Chen Jie greeted her with a smile.
He hadn't expected Li Ziling to be back and to be leaving at this moment.
"Is this a coincidence? You bastard! Why are you following me!"
Li Ziling glared at Chen Jie angrily.
"Ahem, I'm not following you, because I live here."
Chen Jie pointed to his room.
At this point, Li Ziling had absolutely no good impression of him.
If he had known this would happen, Chen Jie would never have let Gong Jian and the others falsely accuse him on the bus.
"I don't believe you!"
Li Ziling said.
"If you don't believe me, you can come in and see." Chen Jie opened the door and gestured for Li Ziling to enter.
But Li Ziling only glanced from the doorway and then retreated two steps warily.
At the same time, she looked at Chen Jie angrily, "You're still trying to trick me! I won't fall for your tricks! Scumbag, degenerate, don't think I don't know what you'll do to me after you lure me into your room!"
Chen Jie said helplessly, "What do you think I'll do to you?"
"You... I can't afford to provoke you, but can't I avoid you? I'll find a new place to rent soon!"
Li Ziling had already convinced herself that Chen Jie was a pervert who wanted to harass her.
She felt distressed thinking about it.
Because her father's monthly living expenses were limited, she had already changed apartments once. If she changed again, she wouldn't have enough money for living expenses this month.
Chen Jie also frowned upon hearing this. Moving apartments back and forth wasn't a solution.
So, he stopped forcing the issue and said to Li Ziling, "You say I'm following you, then I am following you! If I could find this rental, I can find your next residence! Even if you move elsewhere, I'll still follow you!"
"Ah!"
Li Ziling's face flushed with shame and anger. She hadn't expected Chen Jie to be so shameless.
"Do you think you can get me this way? Don't even dream about it! I'd rather die than surrender to you!" Li Ziling said angrily.
Chen Jie originally wanted to refute, but then he thought that he needed a reason to follow her.
So he said, "It's useless. I'm going to pester you. Your body and heart will be mine sooner or later!"
