Chapter 117: This Woman Is Truly Ruthless

One o'clock in the early morning.

A fine drizzle began to fall from the sky.

It's already late September, and the nights in Yanjing have started to get cold, especially on rainy days.

In this weather, the few security guards in the Bieshu district all hid in the guard post.

Under the dim light, a person wearing a raincoat and a Backpack scaled the low courtyard wall of the Bieshu district.

Taking advantage of the rain curtain to move quickly, they finally reached the back of a standalone Bieshu surrounded by iron fences.

The Bieshu's footprint isn't large; with the front and back yards it amounts to only a few hundred square meters.

Inside, a large wolfdog is kept, and at night it isn't leashed.

Several cameras have also been installed, monitoring the Bieshu's surroundings with no blind spots.

The person in the raincoat then lifted their cloak, revealing a scarred face.

Their sparse hair had been shaved off, exposing a mottled bald head.

She is Zhang Yao!

The big wolfdog ran over, baring its teeth and whining.

It looks like if Zhang Yao doesn't leave, it will start barking wildly.

Zhang Yao pulled something out of her pocket and tossed it into the courtyard wall.

The wolfdog immediately ran over, sniffed a few times, then collapsed onto the ground.

The Bieshu's gate was closed; Zhang Yao pulled a key from her pocket, opened the gate, and walked in.

Where did she get that key?

Too easy!

Inside the Bieshu, a middle‑aged woman works as a nanny and goes to the market every day to buy groceries.

Zhang Yao deliberately approached the nanny to provoke a conflict, fought, and amid the chaos obtained the key from the nanny.

To get this important key, she spent time going back and forth.

The nanny lost the key, feared being fired and didn't dare speak up, so she made a duplicate herself.

Li He and Liao Xiang Mei, who live in the Bieshu, know nothing about this.

Who makes the couple treat the nanny harshly!

If it were another Master's household, the nanny would definitely speak up about this.

After all, losing the Bieshu's key isn't a trivial matter.

A room on the first floor near the kitchen serves as the nanny's bedroom.

Zhang Yao set down her Backpack, took a cotton pad from it, opened a bottle, and dripped a few drops of its contents onto the pad.

She twisted open the bedroom door, saw the nanny fast asleep, and pressed the cotton pad over the nanny's mouth and nose.

The nanny moved a little, then fell completely silent.

She felt the nanny's neck artery; fortunately, she was merely in a deep sleep.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yao, now wearing goggles, finally arrived at the door of the master bedroom on the second floor.

Even from a distance, she could hear snoring coming from inside.

She carefully twisted open the bedroom door.

Then she tossed a tear gas canister inside.

A moment later...

"Cough cough cough..."

"What's happening... cough..."

"Fire! Run quickly! cough..."

"Cough! I can't see!"

"Turn on the lights!"

Li He and Liao Xiang Mei's voices came from the room.

Zhang Yao took a deep breath, covered her mouth and nose, gripped a dagger, and rushed in.

The room was filled with tear gas, rendering Li He and Liao Xiang Mei unable to resist.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yao looked at the two people lying on the floor, still convulsing, with an utterly cold stare.

Although it was her first murder, in her mind she had killed these two countless times.

She felt no psychological burden at all.

Then she began to deal with the scene.

She must not leave any trace of herself.

Wearing gloves, she wouldn't leave fingerprints.

But the skin flakes that fell on her body might not be completely cleanable.

She had already thought of a solution,

She took a large bag of hair clippings swept from several barbershops out of her Backpack and scattered them, filling the house.

After confirming there were no issues, she exited the room and closed the door.

Next, she destroyed all the surveillance.

September 20th.

Before dawn, Qi Yao's phone rang.

She immediately picked up the phone and answered.

Then she got up at once.

"What's going on? It's not even daylight yet!"

Lin Feng opened his eyes and asked.

Qi Yao said: "A major case happened last night; we need to go to the bureau right away."

"Ah~"

Lin Feng sighed.

Ten minutes later, Qi Yao had packed up and left.

A gust of cold wind blew into the room.

"Holy shit!"

Lin Feng only then realized.

This is a haunted house!

The House Guarding Divine Beast has left; is he staying here just asking for death?

So he hurriedly got up.

He put on his clothes and left the room without even rinsing his mouth.

He went to the basement to get the car, and as he drove out of the residential area, he saw Qi Yao hailing a taxi on the roadside.

Qi Yao can't drive.

Lin Feng pulled the car up beside Qi Yao, "Get in! I'll give you a ride."

Qi Yao immediately opened the car door and got in.

"Just get a license and buy a car!" Lin Feng said after starting the car.

Qi Yao shook her head, "There are cockroaches in the instructor's car."

"Pfft~"

Lin Feng couldn't help laughing.

Qi Yao already fears cockroaches; encountering one during driving practice is even less likely than winning the lottery, right?

Who knows which instructor is so unclean as to let cockroaches crawl into the car?

After something like this, Qi Yao probably won't learn to drive in her lifetime.

"Another case happened?"

Lin Feng asked.

Qi Yao nodded, "In a certain villa, a murder case occurred, killing four people."

Lin Feng furrowed his brows.

Four people!!

Qi Yao didn't say more, because she didn't know the details of the case either.

The bureau just told her to rush over as soon as possible, bring her things, and inspect the scene.

But Lin Feng knew very well in his heart.

The place Qi Yao mentioned isn't it Li He's villa?

The four people in the villa were Li He and Liao Xiang Mei, plus their son Li ChenHao, and a nanny.

After being scared into wetting himself by Lin Feng last time, that child has developed a psychological shadow and often wets the bed at night while dreaming.

Liao Xiang Mei then took her son back home to live, and she goes to see a psychologist every day.

"This woman is really ruthless!"

Lin Feng sighed in his heart.

The story he told Zhang Yao is a meticulous plan that could completely cause the couple to die from overconsumption of keys.

Because the couple usually were already doing such things.

But he didn't expect the means to be so direct.

Perhaps only this way could release the repression and resentment she had held in her heart for two or three years.
