——————
As Zhang Shanni was heading upstairs and pondering over what "peach tree" meant, an unexpected incident occurred at Tanning Temple on the other side — a sudden explosive bang caused all the on-duty personnel to dash towards the side hall —
But they were halted in their tracks by someone shouting a command.
However, let’s rewind time back to about half an hour ago:
Xie Jingchen was staring coldly at the abrupt woman opposite him, feeling a bit angry with himself for not taking his little wife’s words of caution to heart and slipping up.
His wife had warned him, and yet he had still fallen into the trap!
That was truly stupid.
"Brother Chen, why did you choose her over me?" Wang Xiu approached slowly and gently, moving closer to the big man drugged and laid out on the sofa.
Seeing his tiger-like eyes split open glaring at her, not only was she unafraid, but she also got even closer, murmuring hazily with dazed eyes:
"Brother Chen, why did you marry her? It’s clear that I was your fiancée! Don’t you know, after the news of your death came, how devastated I was every day, they all said I would bring bad luck to my husband!"
Wang Xiuzhen spoke sorrowfully, a flicker of struggle and rolling eyes seen in hers, and then as if struck by a thought, "But now, you end up marrying a woman who died jumping into a lake! Ha ha~~ Surely, the two of you are a match made in hard luck, both met with such ingenious deaths! So, did you end up together because of that?"
"No wait... Zhang Shanni was already dead. Why did she marry you? I don’t want to be some kind of ’hard-luck’ woman — right, in this life, I haven’t gotten engaged to you, does that mean, Brother Chen, you don’t have to die? Yes, I saw Commander Qiao, Brother Chen he doesn’t have to die anymore!"
Wang Xiuzhen’s eyes flashed one moment with a lively light, the next a blank, anguished stare, spouting whatever came to mind, in any case, the information she was revealing made Xie Jingchen wish he could strangle her!
What did Wang Xiuzhen say?
She said... she was engaged to him? Bullshit, impossible! He clearly married his own wife!
But then, she said, Zhang Shanni died from jumping into a lake.
Wang Junxuan died, he himself died, even his wife died!
"Why won’t your brother die?" Xie Jingchen looked at her with internal pain and anger, his face filled with unwillingness as he asked.
The information revealed by Wang Xiuzhen threw Xie Jingchen into a storm of shock.
"I saw Commander Qiao, he will surely save my brother... Yes, he said if I am obedient, my brother will not die, and I won’t be cursed with ’hard luck’!" Confused, Wang Xiuzhen tilted her face, thought for four or five seconds, then responded this way.
Commander Qiao? Who is that?
