Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 852: Zhan Shuyi Admits

Weng Jingyun added, "But these are all Yang Hanyu’s one-sided confessions."

Ren Qianxi’s face, already pale, became even more fragile and transparent. She looked at Yang Hanyu on the screen.

Suddenly, she thought of something.

The car Yang Hanyu was driving...

She had indeed seen it before.

That was the second year after she and Zhan Shuyi got together, her parents wanted to buy her a car, so she could drive to school.

She went car shopping with Zhan Shuyi.

Back then, she had her eye on that car.

Zhan Shuyi had also said that the car looked great, very pretty, suitable for a little princess.

At the time, she thought the little princess Zhan Shuyi referred to was her.

Ren Qianxi was quite happy.

But because the car was too eye-catching in pink, Ren Qianxi feared driving it to school would be too conspicuous, so she chose the same model in white.

As they were walking away, Zhan Shuyi took another couple of looks at that car.

Ren Qianxi didn’t notice anything at the time.

Thinking back now...

The signs were there all along. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The regret in Zhan Shuyi’s eyes back then wasn’t for her.

He might have just been regretting that such a nice car couldn’t be given to the girl he truly loved.

So later, after having money, even if that car was somewhat outdated, he still bought it for Yang Hanyu.

It wasn’t simply a gift, but seemed more like compensating for something.

Ren Qianxi suddenly let out a laugh.

Jiangli saw her emotions seemed off and wanted to bring her back into the Soul Nurturing Talisman.

Noticing Jiangli’s move, Ren Qianxi stopped him and said, "Abbot... don’t, I, I still want to see how Zhan Shuyi will defend himself."

Upon hearing this, Jiangli held back his actions.

Weng Jingyun, hearing Ren Qianxi’s words, nodded toward another screen showing Zhan Shuyi and signaled the staff to amplify the sound from his interrogation room.

The sound came out just as Zhan Shuyi was speaking.

"Yes, I killed her."

It seemed the police were asking Zhan Shuyi whether he pleaded guilty. For some reason, instead of defending himself, Zhan Shuyi admitted quite readily.

Ren Qianxi’s eyes instantly turned red.

The police continued the interrogation, "Did you conspire with Yang Hanyu?"

Zhan Shuyi still managed a laugh at this point, "No, she truly didn’t know. It was my own plan, she was just a hand that helped me prepare materials. The spray Ren Qianxi used daily was switched by me, it has nothing to do with her."

Police: "You seem quite protective of her, still trying to cover for her now?"

Zhan Shuyi: "It’s not about being good to her, I’m telling the truth. Moreover, it’s only right I treated her well, she stayed with me for so many years, shouldn’t I be good to her?"

Police sternly: "Being good to her means taking your wife’s money to support her? From what we know, you knew your wife for almost ten years too, she also stayed with you for that long, and yet you still killed her?"

Zhan Shuyi looked relaxed, "Yeah, and so? From the beginning, I wasn’t with her for love."

The police frowned, "That’s a human life, she stayed with you for nearly ten years. If you could deceive her for so long, why not continue the deceit rather than resorting to murder? What drove you to do this?"

Zhan Shuyi paused, his smile fading, "Because of her parents."

Jiangli furrowed his brows.

Ren Qianxi and the others were confused.

The group then heard the police interrogate further as Zhan Shuyi continued, "Because they wanted to leave the inheritance solely to Ren Qianxi, even now they still guard against me."

Zhan Shuyi’s current role in the Ren Family’s company was only as a manager, without shares or actual ownership.

Before planning the murder of Ren Qianxi, he had once thought it might be possible to just continue life with her, to be a pair of ’loving couple’.

But...

The reality often works against wishes.
