Chapter 850: She Wants Him Dead

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Shan, busy making a show of himself in the military district, finally took a moment to rest. He squinted his eyes, but his eyelids suddenly twitched uncontrollably, causing a wave of unease to ripple through his heart.

Meanwhile, the police had their hands full. Zhou Hua and two others were beaten to a bloody pulp, spending three days in the hospital before they could barely stand. They were then escorted back to the detention center by the police.

It wasn’t that the authorities lacked respect for the rights of the prisoners, but the gravity of the case left no room for delay. The criminals had to be returned to the detention center promptly, accompanied by two medical staff, to expedite the interrogation and sentencing process, and quell the public’s anger.

After the first round of interrogation, it was confirmed that Zhou Hua and her husband, Xie Chang, had colluded with a human trafficking gang.

They had first stolen a second-hand van from their neighbor, then used a sedative to kidnap three children, Su Li, Gao Ming, and Jiang Nuan, with the intention of selling them in the northern territories.

Their actions, a blatant disregard for the law, constituted a deliberate crime, and they were to bear the corresponding criminal responsibility. A prison sentence of eight to ten years was inevitable.

During the interrogation, Zhou Hua cried until she nearly fainted, her face pale. The tears she shed, whether out of fear or regret, were left unanswered.

After the interrogation, they were to be temporarily detained.

As they were led out of the police station, Zhou Hua broke free from the police’s grip and lunged at Xie Chang, screaming, “You’ve ruined my life, I want you dead!”

In the next moment, she grabbed Xie Chang and bit down hard on his ear. Xie Chang had no time to react. His earlobe was torn, and he trembled in pain, blood flowing freely. But Zhou Hua’s intense hatred had completely buried her rationality. She wanted him dead!

It was all Xie Chang’s fault. If it weren’t for his laziness, gambling addiction, and domestic violence, forcing her to do things she knew she shouldn’t, and to associate with people she shouldn’t, she, a respectable teacher, would never have made one mistake after another, ultimately being driven to a life of crime. She wanted him dead!

Zhou Hua bit down on Xie Chang’s ear, refusing to let go no matter how he hit or pushed her.

It took two police officers to pull her away, but by then, Xie Chang’s ear was mostly torn off. He collapsed in pain, his blood staining the ground.

Zhou Hua, her mouth smeared with blood, laughed maniacally. In that moment, it seemed she had come to a realization.

The one who had led her to this point was not Hu Jie, who had asked her to do the job, nor was it Gu Zi and her innocent family. It was the despicable Xie Chang. His selfishness, uselessness, brutality, and greed had sealed her tragic fate from the day she married him.

“Hahaha, I’m not a teacher, I’m just a woman who fought back in the wrong way. Hahaha, I’m not guilty, I’m not guilty…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The man who had just retrieved his stolen van was leaving the hall in high spirits when he stumbled upon the scene. Regardless of anything else, they had been neighbors for many years. Seeing the two of them in such a state, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort. He turned to the police officer standing nearby and began to speak.

“She’s had a hard life these years,” he began. “Many things she did were forced upon her by Xie Chang. She was often beaten, her cries of pain echoing through the entire building. But as it was a matter between husband and wife, we outsiders could only watch, unable to help. Looking at her now, she seems to have lost her mind. She needs medical attention. Officer, could she receive treatment before serving her sentence? Consider it doing a good deed.”

Although Zhou Hua may not have been a good person, if she hadn’t suffered such inhumane abuse from her husband, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. Everyone has a heart, and the officer understood the man’s intentions, slowly nodding in agreement.

Outside, parents who had been waiting for a long time to see the human traffickers punished were finally seeing the police escort Zhou Hua out. They were determined to teach these traffickers a lesson. However, the sight that met their eyes was one of pity, leaving them in a quandary. The rotten eggs and wilted vegetables they held in their hands seemed suddenly inappropriate to throw, yet they couldn’t just put them down either.

“Even the most despicable people have their pitiful sides,” one of them said. “But she shouldn’t have destroyed other families to compensate for her own misery. Let it be. The law will punish this wicked couple. We shouldn’t cause more trouble for the officers. Let’s disperse.”

“Indeed, it’s a sad situation,” another added. “But she’s a disgrace to society. A former teacher, conspiring with human traffickers, harming innocent children, shattering countless families. If this becomes the norm, who would dare to trust schools and teachers? We can’t overlook her crimes just because she’s pitiful. But I don’t want to dirty my hands by hitting her. Let’s go.”

The parents began to disperse, some even running away, terrified by the bloody scene.

At this moment, Guan Xin, accompanied by her assistant Xiao Luo carrying a camera, made a dazzling entrance.
