Chapter 445: Chapter 445 The Temptation of Money_1
On the twenty-fourth of the first lunar month, at eleven o’clock at night, it was a cloudy night with neither moon nor stars.
Qin Sisi, dressed in a warm black coat, donned a black witch’s hat and a black face mask and strolled onto the balcony. She pushed open the glass window and leaped down, her foot braced against the bottom edge of the window.
"Wings of Rainbow!" With a clear shout from Qin Sisi, a pair of large, colorful wings swiftly expanded behind her, shining with a dazzling light in the pitch black night.
The black cat perched on her shoulder raised its paw, creating an Invisible Bubble, hiding Qin Sisi’s vibrant figure from view.
Qin Sisi recalled the route to the First Mansion, controlling her Wings of Rainbow to fly forward.
When she had left the previous evening, it had been getting dark, and this morning, as Qin Sisi was returning, she was concerned about the affair between Yu Feng and Lu Meilin, so she didn’t intentionally memorize the route. Consequently, she now remembered it a little unclearly.
Thankfully, Ye You’s navigation skills were much stronger than Qin Sisi’s, periodically helping her find the correct route. Without wasting much time, she smoothly arrived at the gated community of the First Mansion, where Mr. Fu and Lu Meilin lived.
Once inside the community, Qin Sisi was familiar with the area, and she remembered the house number of Mr. Fu’s home quite clearly.
She flew straight over the main gate and smoothly landed in front of the burglar-proof door that led inside.
Naturally, the burglar-proof door was locked. But this didn’t pose a problem for Ye You, who easily unlocked it. Qin Sisi pushed the door and stepped inside.
After all, she had spent the previous night here, so she was quite familiar with the interior.
However, after retracting her Wings of Rainbow, she was engulfed in total darkness and couldn’t see a thing, forcing Qin Sisi to halt her steps.
Soon, a cluster of purple flames illuminated from Ye You’s paw, providing the necessary light for Qin Sisi’s vision.
Qin Sisi gave Ye You a warm smile. Illuminated by the Ziwei Heaven Fire, she silently climbed the stairs and stopped in front of the golden bedroom door of Mr. Fu and Lu Meilin.
She gently turned the doorknob. It didn’t turn, indicating it was locked. Qin Sisi could only look to Ye You for help again.
Ye You glanced at the door lock, squinted his purple eyes, and with a faint "click", the door unlocked.
Fearing that she would awaken the people inside, Qin Sisi stood at the doorway for a moment before entering.
The people inside seemed to be sound asleep, completely unaware of her entrance, let alone that Qin Sisi was hiding in an Invisible Bubble.
Qin Sisi slowly approached the bed. When her sight landed on the underwear thrown onto the floor, she stiffened, then took a deep breath and pretended she hadn’t noticed it as she stepped over.
Mr. Fu and his wife Lu Meilin were the two people asleep on the bed. Only a thin blanket covered their bodies, revealing large areas of bare skin, and it looked like they were naked underneath.
Qin Sisi deliberately ignored these details and turned to look at Ye You, giving him a nod.
Ye You leaped lightly onto Lu Meilin’s pillow, extended his paw over Lu Meilin’s forehead, and slightly closed his eyes. His paw released a trace of Spiritual Power, searching for memories pertaining to Yu Feng.
About ten minutes later, Ye You retracted his paw. A chilling look flashed in his eyes when he opened them.
"How did it go?" Qin Sisi asked somewhat anxiously.
"Let’s leave here first and discuss it later," Ye You responded quietly, leaping back onto Qin Sisi’s shoulder.
Qin Sisi knew it was not convenient to linger, so she quickly exited the bedroom and hurriedly left Mr. Fu’s mansion.
She then summoned her Wings of Rainbow and followed the same route to fly home.
Once home, Qin Sisi couldn’t wait to ask Ye You about the result of the Memory Reading.
Ye You sorted out his language, clearly relaying the information he had managed to uncover.
Although she had anticipated it, hearing the truth left Qin Sisi somewhat unwilling to accept it, "It was really her?"
"There’s truth to the saying ’Appearances can be deceiving.’", Ye You murmured quietly, a touch of concealed pain flashing in his eyes.
He had once placed unquestioning trust in someone, only to be miserably duped in the end.
After a long silence between the two, Ye You was the first to break it. "I’ll let Yu Feng out. You should tell him the truth," he said.
"Alright!" Although a bit hesitant, Qin Sisi knew she had to face it bravely because Yu Feng’s only wish was to find out the exact cause of his death.
With a flick of Ye You’s paw, a white figure appeared, gradually taking human form.
Yu Feng first looked around in bewilderment. When he saw Qin Sisi, he suddenly seemed to realize something, took a few steps forward, and asked anxiously, "Mage, did you find anything?"
Qin Sisi could see from his anxiety that he was desperate for an answer. Remembering the happiness and regret gleaming in Yu Feng’s eyes when he talked about his loving relationship with his wife, she really didn’t have the heart to tell him this cruel truth.
Noticing Qin Sisi’s silence, Yu Feng anxiously asked again.
Qin Sisi took a deep breath and finally said, "I have found out the truth. However, this truth is cruel. I hope you are prepared."
"Cruel?" Yu Feng repeated the word in a whisper, his face changing rapidly, and then said softly, "Mage, I’m prepared. You can tell me now."
Qin Sisi nodded and once again sorted through what Ye You had told her. The story seemed complex, but it was actually quite simple when narrated.
"Your wife, Lu Meilin, is a nurse at the hospital. She took advantage of her position to steal several vials of penicillin from her workplace and sprinkled them onto your clothes, causing your allergic reaction and subsequent death. During your attempted rescue, she destroyed the evidence, so no one knows how you came into contact with the penicillin," Qin Sisi said in a low voice.
When Qin Sisi finished speaking, Yu Feng stood there in a daze, his face growing paler and his body quivering slightly as if he was about to collapse.
No one could easily accept the fact that their supposedly loving wife was actually their murderer.
Feeling sympathy, Qin Sisi softly asked, "Are you okay?"
Yu Feng slowly nodded. His previously bright eyes had completely lost their luster. Looking at Qin Sisi, he trembled and asked, "Why? Why did she do it?"
"Because..."
Just as Qin Sisi was about to answer, Yu Feng interrupted her again. "Wait, let me guess."
Qin Sisi closed her mouth and quietly observed Yu Feng.
He was breathing heavily, and he uttered in a low voice, "For money, right?"
Qin Sisi slightly nodded, confirming Yu Feng’s guess.
Yu Feng closed his eyes in pain, desperately trying to keep his expression under control.
There had been signs before, but he, deeply in love with Lu Meilin, had deliberately ignored them. He didn’t believe his beloved wife would betray him.
When the truth was brutally laid bare, the ignored details now revealed their hideous face.
