Chapter 203 Strategy Success
On the day she turned herself in, Zhong Huanli led Qiao Xiao to the front of the hall and described the whole process in detail.
Moments later, sirens blared in all directions. The Lu family had recently discovered Lu Zi's body, and Zhong Huanli and Qiao Xiao were now wanted criminals with high bounties on their heads.
The leader said, "We're about to arrest you."
Chung Huan-li: "We turned ourselves in."
"Confess? What do you mean by 'confess'? This is not the place to confess. I need to give the Lu family an explanation."
Qiao Xiao sneered: "What? You're not even going to act anymore? How much did the Lu family offer as a bounty to make you so heartless?!"
"You're about to die and you're still being stubborn! The Lu family is a legally wanted criminal, while you are wanted criminals. Coming here won't do you any good."
Zhong Huanli stared coldly at those greedy eyes and said in a chilling tone, "This world really has no reason to exist."
What's the point of amplifying human selfishness and evil to the maximum?
Qiao Xiao suddenly felt like giving up. In the world she lived in, nothing she did would bring her justice, so why should she do good? What was the point of doing good?
The laws of an evil world can no longer guarantee the foundation of goodness; they are incapable of serving as a moral compass for society and cannot prevent the decline of human nature. So what is the point of upholding them?
Qiao Xiao: "Brother, didn't you say that the nature of this world is evil? Why are you talking to these inhuman people!"
Zhong Huanli: "You're right, Xiaoxiao, let's go."
The next second, a familiar face appeared on the large screen in the hall—it was Chen Jiyan.
She appeared in front of the camera with her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray, but she did not appear to have been violated. Although she looked exhausted, a sharp and ruthless glint appeared in her eyes.
Chen Jiyan: "What I have in my hand now is a crucial clue in the Zhong case from years ago. The DNA on this paper confirms that the perpetrator in the red raincoat was an employee under the name of the Lu Family Group..."
Qiao Xiao: "Chen Jiyan, she's risking her life, brother! We might not die, but she will, so let's save her."
Zhong Huanli replied calmly, "Okay."
In an instant, the two disappeared into the crowd.
"A monster!" The people around looked around in terror, but soon, all their memories of this period were destroyed.
Zhong Huanli and Qiao Xiao found Chen Jiyan in a dimly lit room. Although she looked exhausted, she still stubbornly held the papers in her hand.
Upon seeing Zhong Huanli and the other person, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Jiyan's eyes.
"Hurry up!" Zhong Huanli grabbed them and rushed out.
Suddenly, police sirens blared outside.
Chen Jiyan: "I used my mobile phone to send copies of the evidence to reliable media and the police in advance."
Qiao Xiao: "Reliable media? And the police?"
Chen Jiyan heard the worry in her voice and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Huanli: "We are worried that the Lu family might be involved."
Chen Jiyan: "No, I trust my colleagues."
With a loud "boom," cracks began to appear in the ground, and it began to collapse!
They couldn't understand how the Lu family had found them—in just a few hours!
The most urgent task is to protect Chen Jiyan!
If Zhong Huanli and Qiao Xiao can leave this world safely, how will Chen Jiyan survive under the influence of the Lu family?
Just as the ground collapsed and sirens drew closer, Zhong Huanli suddenly had an idea. He pulled a small object emitting a mysterious light from his pocket.
“Hold on tight!” Zhong Huanli said.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiao immediately took Chen Jiyan's hand and said, "Come with us."
A bright light flashed, and they were transported to the past.
This is after the Zhong tragedy occurred. Because it was a pivotal event, it has been recorded in history, and Zhong Huanli could not change it.
Chen Jiyan was still in shock when he asked, "Where am I?"
Zhong Huanli replied calmly, "We've gone back to the past."
He stood silently in the rain, and the torrential downpour did not soak them at all; the raindrops seemed to stand still in the air.
Qiao Xiao stared blankly at the house in front of her. "Are we home, brother?"
Chen Jiyan rushed into the house without regard for anything else, and screamed shrilly, "Dad!"
Chen Sheng lay in a pool of blood in the study. He was the first victim in this tragedy. Back then, a fire destroyed all the evidence.
The houses that Zhong Huanli built after returning to the evil world were all rebuilt for the investigation of the case. It is said that only ashes remain of the victims of that case.
Qiao Xiao didn't go in. She couldn't face everything that happened back then. In the Zhong family tragedy, no one survived except her.
She asked, "Is there enough evidence here to expose them and bring their misdeeds to light?"
"Ah."
“But what if it gets exposed? She’ll be reported as crazy.” Qiao Xiao gave a bitter smile, then her voice turned cold. “But it won’t change the situation. We have to do everything we can to save her. Brother, she’s my only hope.”
She turned her head and looked deeply at Zhong Huanli, smiling with narrowed eyes, "Let's be her support, brother."
Chen Jiyan cried for a long time and did a lot of mental preparation. In the end, the three of them took the evidence that Zhong's father and Chen's uncle had spent several years investigating and brought it back to the world they had disappeared from.
When they returned, the scene was a mess, clearly indicating that it had been blown up by explosives, and police sirens were blaring outside.
When the police arrived at the scene shortly afterward, they handcuffed the three men without saying a word.
They were imprisoned separately in different places.
The Lu family arrived in less than half an hour and interrogated Zhong Huanli, Qiao Xiao, and Chen Jiyan one after another. The first two were tough nuts to crack, and the only one who might "turn over a new leaf" was Chen Jiyan.
The Lu family claimed that Zhong Huanli and Qiao Xiao had fled on their own, abandoning her.
But Chen Jiyan is Chen Sheng's daughter. Chen Sheng would go to great lengths to help his friends when they needed it. How could she possibly betray him?
One generation of loyalty and righteousness, and generations of loyalty and righteousness.
She pretended to surrender, but soon she was threatened by the Lu family to reveal the truth to the public: the Zhong family massacre was committed by Qiao Xiao and had nothing to do with the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiyan felt contempt. How could a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital possibly commit a violent crime with a knife?
The press conference was held as scheduled, with media outlets from all sides gathering together.
Chen Jiyan stood on the stage, looking at the smug faces of the Lu family and the countless eyes that were expecting the truth.
She read the Lu family's manuscript for a while, then suddenly stood still and didn't say anything.
The lights flashed, and a video began playing on a large screen. In the video, Chen Jiyan clearly demonstrated how the Lu family group planned the Zhong family massacre, as well as evidence of their coercion of the police and the media.
An uproar erupted in the audience, and the faces of the Lu family members turned deathly pale.
Lu's mother: "Quick! Stop her!"
Red spots appeared on Chen Jiyan's face; the assassin lying in ambush was aiming at Chen Jiyan's head.
With a bang, the sniper's head exploded; it was Zhong Huanli secretly protecting her.
At this moment, Qiao Xiao walked to Chen Jiyan's side. As a party involved in the crime scene, she joined him in testifying against Lu's evil deeds.
Lu's mother broke down: "What is she doing here?! Stop her!"
She gave the order, but no one responded.
Qiao Xiao's cold eyes flashed with a chilling light as she threatened, "Look at you, at your age, you can't even keep an eye on your own daughter, letting her run into the line of fire."
Lu's mother: "You murderer! Qiao Xiao, I'll skin you alive and tear your tendons out!"
Qiao Xiao looked down at her, "A life for a life. I have no regrets even if I die, but I will drag you down with me."
Holding a dagger, she leaped off the stage and rushed towards Lu's mother without regard for anything else.
The bodyguards around Lu's mother were not to be trifled with; they reacted quickly. However, Qiao Xiao was the chosen one of the evil world, and nothing could stop her.
The martial arts skills he learned in just a few days were enough to allow him to fight several bodyguards to a standstill.
Qiao Xiao eventually defeated those people and pressed Lu's mother step by step. Without saying much to her, she slit her throat with a single blow.
"You should be happy because you're going to meet your daughter."
Lu's mother collapsed to the ground in an instant, her eyes wide open in death.
Qiao Xiao successfully avenged herself; the main person in charge of the Lu Group was dead, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
System notification: "Ding, the target's affection level has reached 100. Congratulations, Commander, you have successfully won her over."
Zhong Huanli is dealing with the nearby agents.
"Yes, I know." He kept an eye on Qiao Xiao with his other eye at all times to prevent any accidents from happening to her.
"Notification: The dimensional destiny is shifting... The target is dissipating..."
Zhong Huanli frowned, asking anxiously, "What do you mean by 'dissipate'?"
"Host, according to the rules, the protagonist of the evil world cannot be conquered by the protagonist himself. Once he is conquered, the evil world will find a new target."
"You didn't tell me earlier!"
Zhong Huanli teleported to Qiao Xiao's side, only to see her body becoming transparent.
"Brother," Qiao Xiao called out weakly, her body barely able to hold on.
"I'm here." He quickly helped Qiao Xiao up and pulled her into his arms.
Qiao Xiao: "I feel a little tired."
"If you're tired, take a nap." Zhong Huanli's voice was soft and gentle.
Qiao Xiao: "I feel like I've been abandoned by my world."
At this moment, Zhong Huanli could not control her tears, which slowly slid down her beautiful face as she weakly cried out, "Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let you disappear."
"I believe you, brother." She stroked the face she cared about. "Zhong Huanli, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"what?"
"I love you."
