Marrying the Short-Lived, Maniacal Eldest Miss for Good Fortune 106

Chapter 106

“Acquitted?”

Xia Wenzhou frowned and took the document, checking the official seal on it with great suspicion.

She was a very patient hunter. She had been waiting since the day Fang Yi had fired her gun, and had only started to close the net today when everything was ready.

Watching Xia Wenzhou flip through the paper, her face grave and motionless, He Shuanghua simply walked around her, went straight to the two police officers who were following behind, and whispered a few words to them.

The two police officers looked up at Xia Wenzhou with hesitation, but still hesitantly took out the key and unlocked Fang Yi’s handcuffs.

The cold iron ring was unlocked, leaving two not-so-obvious marks on her wrist. Even though they were so slight, the young lady’s soft fingertips still slowly covered them and gently rubbed them.

“It’s fine,” a strange feeling emerged from the touched skin. Fang Yi said in a low voice, “Why are you here?”

She protected Lin Shuxing and walked towards the car, but the officers who were surrounding them looked at me and I looked at you, and tacitly and collectively blocked the way, like a super-doubled evil battle eagle in an eagle-catching-chick game, and instantly transformed into a wall of flesh and blood.

Fang Yi said, “Get out of the way.”

She knew what these rascals were trying to say with their wicked smiles. They had been used to being disorganized and undisciplined in the post-apocalyptic world. Now, after being edified by civilization, they didn’t seem to be much better. Only when they hadn’t taken off their masks did they have some semblance of a regular army. Now, their expressions were all subtle, like bandits blocking the road.

She gave a few threatening looks, but even the oldest and most steady dog-headed military advisor just very deliberately turned his head and pretended not to see.

The young captain had briefly lost control in this situation. Everyone was curiously watching her and the red-haired young lady’s interaction in her arms.

The young lady was like a proud and beautiful young beast. The shout she had just made in the car was full of momentum. You had to admit that some people were born to be commanders. Even at a young age, she had a certain leadership style, which made people subconsciously follow her instructions.

But she was also too frail. Her skin was as white as porcelain or glass. The sunlight seemed to be able to penetrate her skin, and she was semi-transparently filled with countless gold and jade jewels. Once shattered, it would break into countless sharp edges, fragile and dangerous.

Even when she walked by, the warm wind she left behind was fragrant, and flowers bloomed all the way. How wonderful.

If there were really dragons in the world, they would definitely have captured her as a treasure and hidden her away!

Fang Yi’s face was straight, without a trace of the tolerance and familiarity from just now. Her eyes were sinister as she glared back at the gazes that were on the young lady.

Her palm did not touch Lin Shuxing’s shoulder, but her slightly sideways and blocking posture was undoubtedly a declaration of sovereignty. Without any words, everyone could see what their relationship was.

Faced with the encirclement of so many armed soldiers, Lin Shuxing was not at all timid. Instead, she stomped her foot, stepped on Fang Yi’s instep, and her figure was a little taller. She glanced at the dog-headed military advisor who seemed to have the highest rank on the side and asked coldly, “Which unit are you from? What’s your number?”

The dog-headed military advisor was overjoyed. “Oh, little one, you even know about numbers. How old are you this year?”

She really wanted to pat Lin Shuxing’s head, but Fang Yi’s gaze was getting more and more unfriendly. The military advisor had no doubt that if she really did, the boss would break her hand. She could only smile sheepishly and raise her hand with a cough.

The crowd made way.

Fang Yi saw the smile in her lenses and had a bad premonition. She quickly pulled Lin Shuxing and was about to send her out first.

This was not a place where Lin Shuxing should be.

She should, she should be standing on a high platform, not in this dark and damp place.

However, just as she had taken a few steps, the dog-headed military advisor clasped her hands behind her, raised them, and the team immediately split into two, and shouted in unison, “Hello, sister-in-law!”

The formation was so large, and the voice was so loud that it startled the birds within a ten-li radius.

Fang Yi looked back at them with a look of horror. She couldn’t care about the cold war and avoiding danger anymore. The palm that was lightly supporting Lin Shuxing’s shoulder immediately covered her ears, warm and hot, and pushed her out in a panic, for fear that these people would say something they shouldn’t.

The young lady also sensed that this group of people had no ill intentions and pulled at Fang Yi’s hand in suspicion. “Are they your friends?”

Fang Yi immediately shook her head as if she were plugging her ears while stealing a bell, and then nodded amidst the jeers.

Fang Yi had never shown any emotion on her face before. She was more steady than a machine. Even when a large hole had been broken in the base before the insect tide, she could plan and command with a blank expression. Now, for the first time, her expression was very vivid, as if a watercolor painting had also been tinged with a bit of a young lady’s crimson.

The subordinates looked at her in amazement and didn’t want to let her go just like that. One of them muttered in a small voice, “No wonder the captain doesn’t want to come back. The world of flowers is so charming!”

It was unknown who had covered their mouth, but their voice sounded very comical, and they took the lead in shouting, “Kiss!”

“Kiss!!”

“…”

Fang Yi couldn’t bear this kind of forcing a duck onto a perch. She was afraid that it would make the young lady uncomfortable. Her hands covered her even deeper, and she roared, “Everyone, shut up! If you jeer again, just you wait.”

Seeing that Fang Yi’s expression had completely turned cold, everyone did not dare to make a fuss anymore and lined up in a wronged manner, looking at them pitifully.

Although they were usually one fiercer than the other in training, now they were all cowering with their ears down, like a tiger lying down and turning into a giant golden-shaded cat, what a cat army.

The training ground quieted down. Fang Yi softened her expression and was pondering her words, trying to explain to the young lady. She subconsciously didn’t want her to see her past brutal side.

But the whole world suddenly became very quiet. Even the distant chirping of the cicadas floated back. The young lady stepped on Fang Yi’s shoes, stood on her tiptoes, and lightly wrapped her arms around Fang Yi’s neck and kissed her.

“…”

The summer exploded with a final clap of thunder.

Under the gaze of her former subordinates, Fang Yi’s cool and detached face was instantly covered with a layer of steam-like mist. With her intertwined hair, her ears, her cheeks, a shy red spread visibly.

While Fang Yi was still blushing and steaming, the young lady had already turned around and had generously announced, “Hello, I’m Lin Shuxing. Fang Yi is mine.”

Yours… what?

Without a modified ending, this sentence sounded surprisingly ambiguous, as if it were not an announcement of a relationship, but a declaration of ownership.

After a moment of silence, a certain unromantic person said in a small voice, “Oh no, the captain has been reborn as a house slave.”

The person’s voice was very small, but it couldn’t be helped that the scene was too quiet, and it was still clearly heard by everyone.

House slave? Is this a word that should exist in modern society?

He Shuanghua let out a laugh, walked over slowly, and returned the confiscated phone to Fang Yi. “Let’s go. It’s fine. Report to Wang Quan that you’re safe.”

“Don’t go.” Xia Wenzhou’s annoyed voice came from the corner.

She casually threw the report on the ground and crushed it with her boot with full malice. “How can this be real? Did you bribe the medical examiner? I demand a re-examination.”

Lin Shuxing sneered, “Alright. Then you can go to the crematorium and snatch the ashes to test.”

Xia Wenzhou: “What? Didn’t the person just die this morning? You’re destroying the evidence so quickly?!”

The great lawyer said slowly, “You have to have evidence when you speak. If you continue to slander my client like this, we will consider suing.”

“You accuse Fang Yi of possessing a gun and killing someone. Then let me ask you, where is the gun? Where are the fingerprints? Where are the bullet wounds?”

Of course, she couldn’t produce these.

“There are no gunshot wounds on the body at all. This medical examiner who performed the autopsy is also quite famous. Are you saying that she violated her professional ethics and cooperated with us to fake it?”

“You are too emotional now. Please calm down before you communicate with us.”

Xia Wenzhou’s face was gloomy, and the killing intent on her body almost solidified. It was a pity that she had miscalculated one thing. Hearing that she was accusing Fang Yi of a crime, the originally smiling soldiers glanced over as if unintentionally and nonchalantly stood in front of Fang Yi, their position very clear.

No gunshot wounds?

Fang Yi was also slightly stunned. She had indeed not hit a vital part, but how could there be none?

Duan Ruoxi’s wish had not yet been fulfilled. The strong hatred was a fight to the death. She had hoped to see the corpse with her own eyes.

Could the gun have been tampered with? Impossible. Who could do such a thing under her and Duan Ruoxi’s noses?

Lin Shuxing raised her eyes and said lightly, “As everyone knows, this person fell from upstairs during a party. He has been recuperating in the hospital these past few days. He only died today after the rescue was unsuccessful. The family has already signed.”

Xia Wenzhou was furious. “He fell from upstairs and turned into a human pig?? Are you kidding me? His four limbs are all broken. Did he have a party in a meat grinder?”

The young lady’s eyes were innocent. “What’s impossible?”

It was indeed more difficult to erase the gunshot wounds, but if you had played the gingerbread man game as a child, it would be much more convenient.

A piece of gingerbread, you just have to press it down with a mold according to your own wishes, cut off the flawed parts, and you can casually arrange it into your favorite shape.

Coincidentally, they had an annoying, low-quality gingerbread, and a top-tier private mold factory.

Xia Wenzhou could send people to follow Fang Yi, and of course, she could too.

Besides, Fang Yi herself had turned on the locator on her phone. This was a naked seduction and invitation.

The son of a mere real estate developer had touched a member of the Lin family and had actually just wanted to settle it with money. Wasn’t that a little too ridiculous? A person must always pay the price for their actions.

Fang Yi was silent for a while, lowered her head, and picked up the autopsy report that had been stepped on and dirtied on the ground, and read it carefully.

This was… not quite what she had imagined.

The cause of death was not excessive blood loss, nor was it being hit by a car, but a concurrent inflammation caused by a festering and infected wound.

There were no comminuted fractures in the whole body, only a normal degree of internal organ damage, and only three ribs were fractured. The simulation data from that day must have had a serious deviation.

This was the first time Fang Yi had tried to use holographic technology for this kind of thing, and it was clear that she had failed.

There was still a large gap between the concept and reality.

Xia Wenzhou’s thoughts turned, and she stared at Lin Shuxing with a cold, snake-like gaze, and gritted her teeth. “Lin Shuxing, you dare to deceive the military. You have a lot of guts.”

Fang Yi’s thoughts returned, and she also frowned, and took a step forward to block the young lady. “Why are you taking it out on her? If you have a problem with me, just say it.”

Lin Shuxing coughed lightly, bit her lip in grievance, and leaned behind her, and accused with an annoyed and proud tone, “Fang Yi, she’s being mean to me…”

“I’m sorry. It has nothing to do with you. You can go to the car and wait first.”

Fang Yi gently patted the young lady’s thin back. In the face of danger, the rift that had settled and solidified in the past few days instantly dissipated, leaving only a soft heartache.

Everyone silently watched as this angelically beautiful young lady hid behind Fang Yi and made a very brilliant face at Xia Wenzhou.

What angel? This little one is clearly a demon!

It was a pity that Fang Yi couldn’t see it.

Otherwise, she would also think it was very cute.

Xia Wenzhou’s hand pressed on the gun at her waist.

The team members were shocked and quickly ran over to grab her hand.

“You can’t, sir!!”

“Sir, she’s still a child!”

“Officer Xia, calm down, calm down. Let’s go and eat hot pot. It’s my treat.”

In the chaos, He Shuanghua led Duan Ruoxi out from the other side of the room. Her suit jacket was draped over Duan Ruoxi’s thin figure.

Duan Ruoxi was wearing an orange Irish dress today. She looked very cold, and her body seemed to be exuding a chill even in the sunlight.

Seeing Lin Shuxing, a little smile appeared on her pale face, and she called out softly, “Young lady.”

“Thank you.”

She was still holding a folder in her hand, with the faint outline of a photo.

Inside was also an autopsy report, and an extra, a photo.

“Thank you very much.” The smile on Duan Ruoxi’s face widened, like a wildfire sweeping across a field. Since her parents had passed away, she had never smiled so brightly, so wantonly.

The rich second generation had been abandoned by his family for the sake of interests. At that time, he was lying on an empty white sheet, listening to this final judgment. His consciousness was still very clear. When he saw the camera, he would scream in terror, but he could no longer dodge.

The pure white sheet was wrapped into a cocoon. The worm would witness its own decay, turn into pus, and return to the dust, and would lower its head on the road of atonement, and fall endlessly.

[Side Mission – Duan Ruoxi’s Request: A life for a life. Completed.]

[Reward being distributed: 100 points.]

She smiled and trembled in the sunlight, like a flower in a storm, its petals completely unfurled, and swaying with the wind.

Fang Yi wanted to go up and pat her, but before she could get close, almost in the second after the system notification sound fell, Duan Ruoxi had already covered her lips and had coughed violently, and a thick blood seeped from between her fingers.

Everything had happened too quickly, in just a breath.

In the moment the points were withdrawn, the woman’s figure collapsed, like a lighthouse on a harbor, full of sores and holes, collapsing with a boom. She fell in front of Fang Yi.

“Duan Ruoxi!” Fang Yi’s pupils shrank.

Her body suddenly became very heavy. Even Fang Yi could not fully support her and could only support her as she slid down bit by bit. Her chest was heaving violently, and more and more blood was coughed up, soaking the front of her clothes.

Fang Yi held her and shouted at the people on the side who had not yet reacted, “Get a stretcher, call an ambulance! Where is the nearest hospital? No, call Jiang Gui. Go to her place. Quick, move!”

The main door was pushed open with a bang, and Wang Quan and Zong Heng, who had rushed over, happened to see this scene.

Fang Yi was half-kneeling on the ground, holding the blood-covered Duan Ruoxi in her arms. Xia Wenzhou was standing on the side with her arms crossed, looking down at them. He Shuanghua was covering Lin Shuxing’s eyes, her face showing an unbearable look. A courtyard of armed soldiers, and a military jeep was parked behind them.

“Xia, Wen, Zhou, you dare to interrogate my people in private?!”

Zong Heng was furious. She was held back by Wang Quan and did not rush up, and shouted, “Calm down, calm down.” Wang Quan had run a red light all the way in her sports car, and their people were still behind and had not caught up.

Zong Heng’s small, research-oriented body was no match for Xia Wenzhou, and Xia Wenzhou’s gun was even open! A special agent directly under the command, with imperial special permission. They really had the power to act first and report later.

A direct conflict would be too dangerous! Faced with this courtyard of armed soldiers, even walking in required caution.

The soldiers improvised a stretcher and carefully lifted the woman up. An internal injury was the most difficult to judge, and even basic first aid could not be done.

Duan Ruoxi was carried away, but Fang Yi still maintained a stiff posture, half-kneeling on the cold concrete floor. Her shirt was also stained with blood. The blood of the originally cold-looking Duan Ruoxi was very hot, and it almost burned a hole in her white shirt.

In the moment Duan Ruoxi had coughed up blood, the points had been credited with a ding. The negative balance had been reduced, and was a little shorter. The woman had still been smiling brightly before she was carried away. She had opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her throat had rolled, and more blood had gushed out.

Her lips had mouthed, “Thank you.”

Fang Yi’s reason was stretched to the limit. In the buzzing tremor, her thoughts were exceptionally clear. In a daze, she had smelled that pine scent that had seeped out of the old residence’s floor, and after the precipitation of the years, it had become a decadent scent wrapped in dust.

Shui Wuding’s faint tone had echoed in the long corridor, and she had spoken of a certain someone’s voluntary sacrifice without any reservation. The measure of life could be a cup of thick water, lightly swaying, and the sweet and fishy liquid was poured into the soil.

An unequal exchange, one wanes as the other waxes.

This is—conservation.

Shui Wuding’s demonic vertical pupils and Xia Wenzhou’s cold eyes overlapped. The world seemed to have been watching her for a long, long time, and had let out a mockery of fate.

It hurts, my head hurts so much.

It was as if ten thousand gears were turning in her brain. Her fingers and thoughts were “stuck” in a gap, and after a dull and repeated crushing , they had exploded with a boom, and had rolled down layer by layer.

The forgotten memories of her childhood had repeatedly impacted the taboo restraints. She had really forgotten, something very, very important, and had known it more than a decade ago…!

In the chaos, only Lin Shuxing had noticed that Fang Yi’s face was getting uglier and uglier. She had half-squatted down, and her soft hand had gently covered the back of Fang Yi’s hand, but she had found that her hand was surprisingly cold. The blue veins on her lowered neck were clearly bulging, as if she were enduring great pain.

The young lady had held her hand with concern. “Fang Yi…?”

The woman had slowly come back to her senses under her warm touch, and her eyes had raised slightly, but had quickly been pressed down very hard, and she had not dared to look at the young lady’s face.

Then the next action was to shake off Lin Shuxing’s hand. This was the first time Fang Yi had so ruthlessly shaken her off.

Fang Yi had staggered to her feet, had rushed in front of Xia Wenzhou, and had held her collar tightly. Her lips had trembled, but her throat had seemed to be blocked, and she could not make a sound. Her mouth was full of a bitter, bloody taste.

Their eyes had met. The sun was low behind Xia Wenzhou. Her obscure expression was half-smiling, and after a long while, she had raised an eyebrow at Fang Yi. “You’ve finally discovered it?”

She had not cared at all about Fang Yi’s blazing anger and panic. Her mood had even improved a little. She had lowered her eyes and had admired Fang Yi’s pained and somewhat twisted expression, and had smiled and had tucked her scattered hair behind her ear, and her low tone was also like a concerto:

“The world is a scam.”
