Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld-Chapter 255 - 88: Suicide (Part 2)
"I have money!"
Zhao Xiuxiu cried:
"Whatever you want to eat, I’ll go with you. Wherever you want to play, I’ll go with you. I have money... I still have more than six hundred thousand."
"More than six hundred thousand." Zheng Kuo turned his head:
"How do you have so much money?"
"You gave it to me." Zhao Xiuxiu said with tears in her eyes:
"I kept all the things you gave me back then. I sold them for cash, and if you want it... I’ll give you everything."
"Please come down!"
"..." Zheng Kuo’s body froze, staring blankly at Zhao Xiuxiu, suddenly with a bitter smile:
"I really regret it."
"So many women, I’ve never truly cared for you. That was my mistake. If there’s a next life, I’ll definitely marry you."
Oh no!
Lu Huanhuan’s face changed, and she lunged forward suddenly. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"No!"
"Ah!"
A piercing scream echoed from the rooftop. Lu Huanhuan reached out with all her might, but she only brushed against the breeze stirred as Zheng Kuo jumped.
"Bang!"
The muffled sound from below made her turn her head away, unwilling to look.
......
"Zheng Kuo is the son of the former chairman of Fuhong Group. President Zheng was killed because of Fuhong’s restructuring, and many crimes were exposed, resulting in all assets being seized."
"Since then, Zheng Kuo lost his source of wealth and started taking various jobs."
Officer Lin, with a tablet in hand, said:
"He worked as a security guard, a delivery person, and even spent time on construction sites. However, he couldn’t stick to any job."
"His last job was as a waiter in a nearby restaurant."
"Before committing suicide, some wealthy heirs dined at the restaurant, and a dispute seemed to arise during the meal. Zheng Kuo might have been provoked and thus chose to take his life."
"That woman, Zhao Xiuxiu, her father is a gambler, and their life was very tough until Zheng Kuo took an interest in her, which improved her situation."
"In recent months, Zhao Xiuxiu has been taking care of Zheng Kuo."
"Chief Lu?"
"Yes."
Seated in the back seat of the car, Lu Huanhuan came to her senses upon hearing the voice, rubbed her temples:
"Bring those wealthy heirs to the bureau for questioning. If there aren’t any problems, notify family members to identify the body."
"This..." Officer Lin hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Zheng Kuo’s parents are deceased, and there’s no close family. Even if there are, they might not be welcomed, so claiming the body might pose some difficulties."
"Oh!"
Lu Huanhuan lowered the car window, looking outside at the crying pregnant woman, nodded slightly:
"How about letting her handle it?"
"This..." Officer Lin shook his head:
"They didn’t have a certificate, so they’re not legally a couple, which isn’t in line with the regulations."
"Rules are dead, but people are alive," Lu Huanhuan responded:
"Unless you want to handle it yourself?"
"..." Officer Lin chuckled awkwardly:
"Chief Lu is right."
"By the way, there was another incident downstairs just now. Would you like to take a look?"
He said, handing over the tablet.
The tablet was playing a video, capturing the moment Zheng Kuo plummeted to the ground from above, as recorded by a nearby store.
"Hmm?"
Lu Huanhuan squinted, opting for slow playback.
She saw that before Zheng Kuo jumped, a crowd had gathered below, and for some reason, a little girl stumbled into the crowd, moving forward unsteadily.
And at this moment,
the time for Zheng Kuo’s jump was approaching.
Just then.
A figure appeared beside the little girl, like a breeze, enveloping her and guiding her to the roadside, covering her eyes with a hand.
Preventing her from seeing what was to come.
The next moment.
"Bang!"
A figure landed heavily on the spot where the little girl had just been.
"So fast!"
Lu Huanhuan pressed her lips together, her eyes flickering:
"This speed is comparable to top professional sprinters, but without any running start, and he was carrying a child."
"Yes."
Officer Lin nodded:
"Thanks to Fang Zheng, otherwise that little girl may have suffered."
The person who acted was none other than the onlooker Fang Zheng.
Lu Huanhuan didn’t respond, instead taking out her phone, opening a video from her files, comparing it with the video on the tablet.
Officer Lin had also watched this video; it showed two ’masters’ fighting on a mountain road, captured by a car owner with a phone.
They were real masters!
Of course,
provided that the video hadn’t been tampered with.
In front of these two, a car appeared like a toy made of clay, especially one of them, who shattered hard rocks with a single strike.
That person,
was precisely Fang Zheng.
His opponent was a legendary figure among mercenaries, Titan Cao Wu.
"It’s fake!"
Officer Lin said:
"Fang Zheng is indeed impressive, but not to such an exaggerated extent. This video circulated widely online a few months ago and has been debunked."
"Hmm."
Lu Huanhuan did not comment, merely raising her head to give Officer Lin a faint glance:
"Officer Lin is quite familiar with Boss Fang?"
"Not exactly familiar." Officer Lin shook his head:
"It was my responsibility when he came to the Public Security Bureau to sign for Fang Jian’s body. We met a few more times afterward, but we don’t keep in touch daily."
"I see." Lu Huanhuan handed the tablet back:
"Though there’s no evidence, it’s likely true that many died at Fang Zheng’s hands. Doesn’t Officer Lin find him frightening?"
"A bit." Officer Lin nodded, pondering, then added in a low voice:
"But those who died, none were good people."
"Your thinking is incorrect," Lu Huanhuan chuckled, shaking her head:
"Whether one has committed a crime or deserves to die shouldn’t be decided by one person. The chivalrous spirit of ancient times is out of place today."
"Yes," Officer Lin agreed:
"The Chief is right."
"Where’s Fang Zheng?" Lu Huanhuan stretched her body lazily:
"Before the conversation was over, this happened. I was just being polite, but he took it seriously and left without settling the bill?"
"Boss Fang went to Yunhai, seems he has something to do."
"Let’s go have a look."
"Yes."
