Do you still remember the information about the people killed by K?
Ji Zizhong was taken aback for a moment and then nodded: “Of course. What’s wrong?”
Xu Qinghe looked at the silhouette of her side face and slowly started to talk: “The first one is Ding Maosheng, chairman of Jianghe Industry, who was found to have molested underaged girls many times, suspected of speculating in cultural relics and transporting illegal goods. The second one is Jiang Zaigong, the manager of Tuanjia Real Estate, suspected of being in arrears with the employee’s salaries, forced demolitions, and acquisitions of real estates. He made many people’s families bankrupt and homeless. The third one is…”
Xu Qinghe reported the basic information of seven or eight victims killed by K in one breath, so fluently that Ji Zizhong even had to give her a slight glance sideways. After Xu Qinghe finished recalling, she quietly said:” All of these people used various means of connections to bypass the law. They deserve to die. If it weren’t for K, they might not have gotten any punishment for the rest of their lives and live in peace.”
She looked at Ji Zizhong’s jaw that was shaping a good-looking arc against the light. Xu Qinghe was silent for a long time but still asked in a low voice: “Do you think… K did the right thing?”
The hand that held the small object pressed slightly on it, with her thumb grazing it smoothly. Ji Zizhong was silent for a moment, replying frankly: “I don’t know.”
With half of her face buried in the shadows, she slowly said these words: “All I know is that no one can execute justice by themselves instead of having a lawsuit, even if your motive is good. Since K chose to do this, they should also take responsibility for their actions and bear all the consequences. That includes getting arrested by the police.”
With these words, she smiled and turned her face from the bathroom, repeating it once again like she was seriously making a commitment: “I promise you that I will help you catch her. Believe in me.”
Xu Qinghe just sat on the bed and listened to the sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom. Then she looked around, somewhat perplexed. With only the lights of the floor lamp, it was too dark all around. She frowned and flicked the switch at the bedside, instantly lighting up the whole room.
Soon after, Ji Zizhong came over carrying the object and spread out her palm to show Xu Qinghe. The drenched and translucent thing laid there in Ji Zizhong’s hand. Although it was nothing, Xu Qinghe’s face still looked embarrassed.
“It’s silicone.” Ji Zizhong poked at it and stated the fact straightforwardly. She then took out a small knife and looked at Xu Qinghe: “Can I cut it open?”
The author has something to say:
I’m going to make up for what I missed on May 1st. I guess this novel will probably end around twenty chapters. It shouldn’t be too long… (probably)
When will Xu Qinghe find out Ji Zizhong’s identity? Ahaha– If I don’t know it, Ji Zizhong will be forced to be schizophrenic（›´ω‹ ）
If you have any comments and suggestions, you can tell me in the comments. Thank you all for your comments and likes, hope you have fun reading~
The translator has something to say:
I’m very sorry for the long hiatus I took. I just couldn’t find the time to juggle translating with all the other stuff going on in my life. However I met an amazing friend through this novel, so at least I want to give back to it by translating this to the end. I will not drop this, even though sometimes I might seem like I disappeared. I will work on it when I have the time.
Thank you for reading.
PS: Also the tune for translating this chapter was “Dreamcatcher – Poison Love”. It’s a very catchy trance tune.
