Chapter 1594: Could It Be That She Is Possessed?

Xu Zixin paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

Suddenly, she paused her steps.

Then she hurried out of the room to find Cheng Xueli.

At this moment, Cheng Xueli was following the television to do yoga.

Then she heard her daughter say, "Mom, where is the diet pill you prepared for me before?"

Cheng Xueli closed her eyes and said, "Your father didn't agree to me letting you use it, so I put it away."

"Give it to me."

Hearing this, Cheng Xueli opened her eyes, looked at Xu Zixin, and asked, "What do you want that for?"

"I'm not very satisfied with my figure, I want to use some."

The diet pill Xu Zixin mentioned was not an ordinary diet pill, but a type of medication that could treat mental illnesses.

Consuming a small amount would have the effect of suppressing appetite.

But the side effects were significant, capable of making one feel listless and causing a rapid heartbeat.

Once an excessive amount was ingested, it would lead to difficulty breathing, or even death.

Back then, Cheng Xueli had also been impulsive, which was why she had entrusted someone to get it.

Afterward, the more she thought about it, the more she feared, so she had no intention of letting Xu Zixin use it.

But how did this child think of it again?

Cheng Xueli looked Xu Zixin over and said, "You maintain your figure well enough, so there's no need for it."

"No, there's an interview coming up soon, I still need to lose three jin quickly, otherwise I won't pass!"

"This..."

"Just give it to me quickly, I know what I'm doing!"

Xu Zixin urged, and Cheng Xueli could not refuse her, so she had to say, "Alright then, but don't let your father know, otherwise he'll nag me again."

Xu Zixin nodded impatiently.

Then she stared fixedly at her mother, watching her stand up and take a small brown bottle out of the cabinet.

"This medicine, let me tell you..."

Before Cheng Xueli could finish speaking, Xu Zixin snatched the medicine bottle away!

Afterward, taking advantage of Cheng Xueli's stunned state, she hurried out of the house.

"Hey, you child!"

Cheng Xueli wanted to call out to Xu Zixin, but by the time she chased her to the doorway, Xu Zixin had already run out of sight!

Such abnormal behavior made Cheng Xueli feel... a sudden sense of unease!

After leaving home, Xu Zixin snuck around to get a nurse's uniform.

Wearing a mask, she went to Wang Qiang's hospital room in broad daylight.

Because Wang Qiang was divorced and his relationship with his family was distant, no one came to visit, and the hospital room was cold and desolate.

This just happened to give Xu Zixin an opportunity to take action!

Looking at it now, getting rid of Wang Qiang was a must!

Yet Xu Zixin was still so afraid that her hands were shaking!

She opened the lid, pried open Wang Qiang's mouth, and poured the entire bottle of liquid inside!

Soon, Wang Qiang's body began to convulse.

The intense pain actually caused him to open his eyes!

And this scene almost scared Xu Zixin into screaming!

Wang Qiang's eyes were full of bloodshot veins.

Perhaps he also knew he was going to die.

But he was not afraid; instead, he smiled hideously, looked at Xu Zixin, and said in a hoarse voice, "You think that by killing me, you'll be safe? Ha, I hid the evidence of our transaction a long time ago!"

What!?

Xu Zixin was terrified!

She grabbed Wang Qiang's collar tightly and interrogated him, "Where did you hide the things?"

"I..."

Wang Qiang struggled to say one word, after which his body thrashed about, and then, he completely lost all signs of life.

He was dead.

Finally, he would never reveal the truth again.

But...

Where could that damn evidence be!?

Xu Zixin's breathing was rapid; she truly wished she could pry open Wang Qiang's mouth and make him talk!

But at this moment, footsteps came from outside the door.

It scared Xu Zixin until her face turned pale!

She wanted to find a place to hide in the room.

But there wasn't even a damn cabinet here!

Xu Zixin's heart was pounding wildly.

Cold sweat streaked across her forehead!

But in the end...

The footsteps outside the door did not walk in; they just passed by.

Xu Zixin was already too scared to stay any longer; she opened the room door and left without making a sound.

At the same time—

Jiang Chenghao and Xu Xiaoxiao brought the puppy to a pet store to pick out dog toys.

There was a wide variety of toys here, and they were novel and fun.

Xu Xiaoxiao liked them all after looking at them!

She expressed that she really wanted to buy two to take back and play with!

Jiang Chenghao's face revealed his helplessness.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

Seeing the number on the screen, he walked outside the pet store to answer it.

Jiang Chenghao's expression had been perfectly normal.

But what the person on the other end said made his face show shock: "Dead? Didn't he have a head injury, but was temporarily out of danger?"

The person on the other end said: "He died under suspicious circumstances; we are still investigating the exact cause of death. By the way, the security camera at the entrance 'coincidentally' broke."

This result made Jiang Chenghao narrow his eyes, and he muttered: "It seems someone didn't want him to live!"

Li Beijue thought the same thing.

They both thought that by catching Wang Qiang, everything would be fine.

But they didn't expect that someone would actually want to kill him!

What a miscalculation!

Li Beijue felt depressed, frowned slightly, and said: "I will continue to investigate on my end, and I will let you know once there is the latest news."

"Mm, thank you for your hard work."

As the words fell, the people on both ends of the phone hung up.

Jiang Chenghao wanted to calm down a bit before returning to the pet store.

While he was at it, he stood outside and thought about who among Wang Qiang's connections held a grudge against him.

And while he was thinking, he saw Xu Xiaoxiao through the glass window.

Xu Xiaoxiao was using a ball to tease Jitu.

Jitu jumped so high, as if there were springs installed under its feet.

On the last jump, it licked Xu Xiaoxiao's face directly!

That was really disgusting!

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly wiped her face.

Jitu took the opportunity to snatch the ball away.

Heh, what a cunning little dog.

What a silly Xu Xiaoxiao!

Jiang Chenghao watched this scene and revealed a faint smile.

But gradually, the smile disappeared, and his eyes were once again shrouded in a layer of worry.

Regarding the matter of Wang Qiang... it was better not to tell Xu Xiaoxiao.

Her life had finally become peaceful with great difficulty; she shouldn't have to worry about trivial matters anymore.

Jiang Chenghao took a deep breath, then lifted his feet and walked back into the pet store.

Here, Xu Xiaoxiao was cared for by others and did not know the cruel truth.

But as the murderer, Xu Zixin did not have such good luck.

She bore all the pressure and terror alone.

She started having nightmares as soon as she got home.

She even had a high fever for three days and three nights; she was delirious and talking nonsense.

Cheng Xueli was terrified, and she muttered uneasily to Father Xu: "What is wrong with our daughter?"

Father Xu was also very worried; he frowned tightly and said: "Why does it feel like she's been possessed?"

"What? Husband, don't try to scare me!"

"Why would I scare you? Didn't you hear her muttering yourself, something about 'don't come looking for me to claim your life'?"

Cheng Xueli was already panicked, and now that she heard this, she felt her skin crawl even more!

She muttered again: "Could it be... a problem with that medicine?"

"What medicine?" Father Xu thought of something; his expression changed immediately, and he questioned her, "You didn't give her that banned drug, did you!"

Facing her husband's questioning gaze, Cheng Xueli opened her mouth to defend herself.
