Chapter 608: You Are Like Me, Neither of Us Are Good People

~8 min read 1,444 words

Li Ye never expected that Lu Gang would be caught before the "rumors" he released started to spread.

And two days later, Elena brought back definite news from the police station.

"Mr. Li, that Lu Gang's psychological quality is very good. We greeted the police station, but he still held on for two days and two nights before confessing the facts of the crime..."

"He had been following that Ms. Ruan Shujun and the deceased Mr. Cao for a long time, and even when the two were having intercourse, he had quietly opened the door to peek..."

"Originally he didn't want to kill Mr. Cao, but last month he broke four plates, and Mr. Cao deducted twenty dollars from him..."

"Originally he wanted to use sleeping pills to drug the two people, but Ruan Shujun fell asleep, and Mr. Cao didn't sleep to death, so Lu Gang killed Mr. Cao..."

As a lawyer, Elena wouldn't refund the lawyer's fee, so in order to make Li Ye think the lawyer's fee was worth it, she not only exerted pressure on the police station but also found out the case very clearly afterward.

Lu Gang actually relied on just a file and a saw blade to imitate the key to Cao Yuanmao's golden house, and had secretly gone in to observe it more than once.

As for what he wanted to do after drugging Cao Yuanmao and Ruan Shujun, Elena was vague and just let Li Ye fill in the blanks himself.

After finishing the case, Elena asked Li Ye: "Mr. Li, although that Ms. Ruan Shujun claimed that she was frightened and framed Ms. Seeing Zhen Rongrong in panic,

we can still sue her for defamation and framing, and I can guarantee that I can send her to jail, but this requires Ms. Seeing Zhen Rongrong to authorize us to file a lawsuit against Ruan Shujun, but she didn't agree."

Li Ye asked in confusion: "Why didn't she agree?"

Elena spread her hands: "I don't know about this. Either she thinks my fee is too high, or... she is too kind."

"..."

UC Berkeley, female dormitory.

Facing the angry Seeing Zhen Rongrong, Ruan Shujun cried with snot and tears.

"Rongrong, I know you were framed, but I also know you have classmates who can afford a lawyer and can guarantee to help you get acquitted, but I can't afford the lawyer's fee..."

"I was scared silly at the time, and the proprietress definitely wouldn't let me go. I don't have money to hire a lawyer, so I'll definitely go to jail. I still have half a year to graduate..."

"Now everything is over, and I have a bad reputation. Just forgive me, okay? I can write you an IOU. How much lawyer's fee you spent, I will pay you back with interest in the future..."

Seeing Zhen Rongrong looked at Ruan Shujun with gritted teeth and almost spat out a sentence word by word.

"Why are you so shameless?"

"I can't live anymore! Wuwu, I'm always cheated by others, and no one pays my tuition. Do you want me to be like those women standing on the street and sell myself? If I go to jail... it might be even more miserable than that..."

"..."

From a conscience point of view, Seeing Zhen Rongrong absolutely didn't want to force Ruan Shujun to the path of selling herself, but she also hated this person incomparably.

In the end, Seeing Zhen Rongrong said hatefully: "I don't care if you find the dormitory manager to change dormitories or move out yourself, I don't want to live with you anymore."

"Wuwu, okay! Thank you, Rongrong, I will always remember your kindness."

Seeing Zhen Rongrong didn't pay attention to Ruan Shujun at all, picked up her schoolbag, and went to class herself. She had missed a lot of classes these past few days and still needed to catch up.

After Seeing Zhen Rongrong left, Ruan Shujun really started to pack her things. She had already obtained enough gold and could go out to rent a house to live more comfortably.

"Ring ring ring~"

The dormitory phone rang, and Ruan Shujun answered it.

"Hello, who is it, who are you looking for?"

"I am Chen Juming, I am looking for you."

Ruan Shujun instantly became lazy: "Boss Chen, what's the matter?"

"..."

Chen Juming on the other end of the phone had a cold tone: "You took something that doesn't belong to you from the restaurant, right?"

"Heh~"

Ruan Shujun chuckled and said: "Doesn't that belong to you either?"

Chen Juming said coldly: "Lu Gang is in jail, but his things still belong to him. You can't take them away at will. As his boss, I have the obligation to keep them for him. This is theft."

The smile on Ruan Shujun's face disappeared, and she also said coldly: "Boss Chen, are you popularizing the law for me? Then what kind of crime is it that you hired me to sleep with your husband?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful I sue you for defamation!"

"Yes, yes, I really don't have evidence, but you don't want a situation where both fish and net die, right?"

"..."

Chen Juming was silent for a few seconds, then said: "I just want to divorce him, I didn't want his life."

"Can you blame me for that?"

Ruan Shujun mocked: "Everything has a cause and effect. It was you who wanted to divide more of your husband's property, so you created the fact that he cheated during your pregnancy. If you didn't take the initiative to make trouble, would your husband die?"

"And isn't it better that your husband is dead? According to our agreement, you would only get more than half of the property, but now you got it all. Shouldn't you pay me another reward?"

"..."

If Li Ye were here, he would definitely shout "good guy," really a good guy.

Ruan Shujun was actually hired by Chen Juming to hook up with Cao Yuanmao. The reason was that Chen Juming was pregnant. If Cao Yuanmao was caught in the act during her pregnancy, it would help her divorce Cao Yuanmao and divide the property.

In this place called the Lighthouse, divorce is a unilateral plunder of men by women. Once successful, one can be worry-free for life.

Originally, even if Chen Juming was capable, she was still the proprietress, and the boss was always Cao Yuanmao. But after the divorce, she would also be Boss Chen.

But the matter finally went wrong, and Cao Yuanmao actually hung up.

Although Chen Juming got all the property, she also lost a meal ticket, so the gains and losses were really hard to say.

In the end, Chen Juming asked: "Why did you take those tablets? What is the significance of that?"

Ruan Shujun said faintly: "That is my farewell gift to the unbearable past. From now on, I will be like you and will no longer let men control my destiny."

Chen Juming said angrily: "Don't compare yourself with me, I feel disgusted."

"Hahahaha~"

Ruan Shujun laughed loudly, and after laughing, said: "Boss Chen, have you forgotten what you looked like when you first came to the Lighthouse? Now you feel you are capable?"

"If you didn't rely on men, would you have come to the Lighthouse, would you have gotten so much wealth?"

"..."

Chen Juming didn't speak for a long time, and I don't know if she was mourning her husband who had just died, or was stimulated by Ruan Shujun's words to the point of shame.

And Ruan Shujun didn't want to let Chen Juming go easily. She used a mocking tone and said: "Why? Do you still think you are a good woman? Do you want me to introduce you to a few private doctors who are good at abortion?"

"..."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Juming's words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, obviously angry to the extreme.

But Ruan Shujun said coldly: "If you have the ability, give birth to the child. Otherwise, you are a selfish, insidious, and narrow-minded person, and you have no qualification to blame me."

"I have no qualification to blame you, just hope you don't have nightmares in the future."

"..."

"Beep beep beep beep~"

The phone hung up.

Ruan Shujun sat on the ground, holding her head and not knowing what she was thinking.

In the end, she sobbed softly, and then the crying became louder and louder, crying heart-rendingly.

Perhaps in the days to come, Cao Yuanmao's ghost will haunt her, haunt her for a lifetime. ===== CHAPTER 609 =====
