Chapter 2046: Chapter 2046: Leng Ruobing’s Interrogation
Lin Yi had never expected that simply letting slip a word would lead Xiao Zheng to figure out that Cao Xin was the mastermind behind it all.
Indeed, too much talk leads to trouble!
Lin Yi’s heart was filled with regret. If he had known Xiao Zheng would so easily guess that Cao Xin was the mastermind, he wouldn’t have insisted just now, and he wouldn’t have lost his two arms because of it.
Lin Yi fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xiao Zheng didn’t intend to waste time with him either, now knowing that Cao Xin was the mastermind, Lin Yi’s life or death was no longer important. Xiao Zheng then exerted force with his fingers, and Lin Yi didn’t even have time to struggle before he died!
His Adam’s apple was crushed, and his entire neck was twisted and deformed!
When Xiao Zheng let go of his hand, Lin Yi’s body crumpled to the ground like a boneless snake.
Looking at Lin Yi’s body, a trace of mockery flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.
What Ghost Raising Family, he didn’t take them seriously at all.
Xiao Zheng flicked his finger, and a cluster of flames fell onto Lin Yi’s body. The body instantly ignited, burning quickly to ashes, and with a night breeze, the last trace of Lin Yi’s existence in this world vanished.
After handling the body, Xiao Zheng returned to Mo Anna’s hospital room.
The room was still very tranquil, and Mo Anna slept sweetly and soundly.
Seeing her beautiful sleeping face, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile. He reached out and adjusted her bangs, then lay down on the bed next to her to rest.
A night of good dreams followed.
When Xiao Zheng woke up, it was almost eleven o’clock.
Mo Anna was already awake, her complexion looked very good, clearly a full night’s sleep had greatly aided her recovery.
"Good morning."
Xiao Zheng greeted her with a smile.
Mo Anna chuckled: "Good morning? It’s almost noon. Xiao Zheng, I’ve found you can really sleep like a pig, no matter how hard I try, I can’t wake you."
"What exactly were you up to last night? You didn’t sneak out to do something shady, did you?"
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes: "Listen to yourself, I’m the boss of Qianqiu Group, would I really stoop to thievery? I was just really tired, that’s all."
He didn’t reveal what happened last night, mainly fearing Mo Anna’s reaction.
After all, Mo Anna was terrified by the mysterious red-clad ghost the previous days, even though Lin Yi was dead now, revisiting the past could still stir some unhappy memories in her.
Unaware of his thoughts, Mo Anna suddenly beamed: "Oh, there’s good news I almost forgot to tell you."
"Good news? What is it?" Xiao Zheng asked, intrigued.
Mo Anna’s face lit up with pride and excitement: "The doctor told me during the rounds this morning that I’ll be discharged this afternoon!"
"What? Is that true?" Xiao Zheng was momentarily stunned, then asked in disbelief, "Wasn’t the doctor saying you had to be observed for several days when you were admitted? How come you can be discharged after less than two days?"
"Because my body is fine now, maybe due to my constitution, I recovered quickly." Mo Anna sighed, "Finally I can leave the hospital, somehow being here felt oppressive."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng laughed: "If you don’t want to stay here longer, let’s go and handle the discharge paperwork now. Then we can have lunch outside together, I’ll invite Leng Ruobing and the others."
"Alright, it’ll be a celebration for my safe discharge," Mo Anna said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng had her rest in the room for a while, washed his face, and went to handle the discharge procedures.
At noon, Xiao Zheng called Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran over, and the four of them enjoyed a hearty lunch outside. After the meal, Xiao Zheng drove Mo Anna home.
Then the three of them set off back.
On the way home, Leng Ruobing spoke: "Seeing Anna discharged safely, I can finally relax."
Xiao Zheng nodded: "Who doesn’t feel the same way, when I heard about her accident, I was on the verge of losing it, honestly, I’m really afraid of seeing anyone around me get hurt."
"Speaking of which, what have the police found? Was it really an operational error that caused Anna to crash into the curb?" Leng Ruobing asked.
Xiao Zheng fell silent upon hearing her question.
Noticing his silence, Leng Ruobing said: "Don’t you dare lie to me, you know you can’t hide anything from me."
"Besides, your expression already betrayed you."
Chu Xiaoran, upon hearing her cousin’s words, glanced at Xiao Zheng and noticed something amiss in his expression: "Xiao Zheng, what exactly have you heard? Stop keeping secrets from us."
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile wryly.
After shaking his head, he said: "You’re right, I have been keeping something from you, and it’s related to the real reason behind the accident."
"Then spill it, stop being mysterious!" Chu Xiaoran urged.
Xiao Zheng continued: "I can tell you, but you have to brace yourselves, because what I’m about to say is quite terrifying."
Hearing this, Chu Xiaoran was immediately covered in goosebumps and felt a bit anxious internally. Leng Ruobing remained calm and composed.
Without hiding anymore, Xiao Zheng recounted the events with Lin Yi and the red-dressed ghost.
When Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran learned the car accident was due to a haunting, both were astonished, especially Chu Xiaoran, who turned pale!
"Xiao Zheng, are there really ghosts in this world?" Chu Xiaoran asked, her voice trembling.
"You could say yes or no, depending on how one perceives ghosts," Xiao Zheng said, "To me, ghosts are just peculiar forms of mental energy."
"So the real mastermind is someone from Xiangnan’s Ghost Raising Family?" Leng Ruobing asked.
To this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "He’s not the real culprit, the real villain is someone you both know. Xiao Ran has also met him."
"The real murderer is Cao Xin!"
