Chapter 77 The Female Ghost (ETL) Part 2
===
Chapter 77 Causes must have consequences
On the other side, the police finally found the suspicious point in the case. Min Hongyang really went back to the wedding house that day, and they found a video of him meeting Min Tao. It happened to be taken by a person who took night scenery photos. It took a lot of effort to find this. And so, the police lawfully brought Min Hongyang in for interrogation.
With gauze wrapped around his head and not yet fully recovered, Min Hongyang said sarcastically, “What’s the point of you bringing me in? I didn’t kill the person. If you can’t find direct evidence, you still have to let me go when the time limit comes.”
Indeed, the murder was some time ago and there was too little evidence on the body. Most importantly, the murder weapon has not been found yet.
Mu Jingfei went to Gu Ye again, “Can you calculate for me where the scumbag hid the murder weapon?”
Gu Ye smiled and gestured with his fingers, “Big sis, is there any money for me?”
Mu Jingfei shook her head coldly, “No, this is social service!”
Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This reason was legitimate enough and could not be refuted!
Then, Mu Jingfei raised the corner of her lips and smiled, “But I can treat you to a meal. I can’t afford fine dining food, so we’ll go to a home-cooked restaurant. You can order 4 dishes and a soup!”
Gu Ye laughed, “Okay, just a big plate of chicken, that’s enough for the two of us. The murder weapon is at his house, go find it. Someone will give it to you when you get there.”
Mu Jingfei makes to spit angrily, “He killed someone and brought the weapon back. He’s so brave!”
…
The police came to Zhao Siyan again, “Have you ever seen something relatively hard with this kind of angle/corner?”
Zhao Siyan saw Min Tao touching the ornament again and picked it up with a pale face. It was heavy, weighing at least 5 or 6 jin (2.5 – 3kg). “This is what you are looking for, the murder weapon that killed Min Tao.”
When the police put the murder weapon in front of Min Hongyang, Min Hongyang finally panicked. When he learned that Zhao Siyan had handed it to the police, Min Hongyang finally couldn’t calm down and stood up all of a sudden, “Impossible! She loves me so much, how could she harm me?!”
The police thought it was a joke when they heard this, “No matter how much she loves you, the girl has been hurt by you so many times, and she doesn’t love you anymore!”
“I don’t believe it!” The strange sour feeling became stronger and stronger. Min Hongyang had never felt like this before and didn’t understand why. He felt suffocated and painful in his heart. When he thought that Zhao Siyan had betrayed him, his heart was throbbing with pain. Min Hongyang panicked when he thought of Zhao Siyan’s innocent eyes, complete trust and admiration turned into indifference when they last met.
Min Hongyang looked at the hand that had hit Zhao Siyan, and couldn’t help trembling, “I want to see my wife! I won’t plead guilty if I can’t see her!”
Min Hongyang’s wish was soon realized. That afternoon, Zhao Siyan came with a lawyer. Min Hongyang asked in surprise, “Siyan, you are not angry with me anymore, right? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hit you, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? I will use my life to atone for your sins.”
Zhao Siyan handed Min Hongyang a divorce agreement with a cold face, “Sign it.”
“I won’t sign, I won’t divorce!” Min Hongyang couldn’t believe that Zhao Siyan could actually leave him. Looking at Zhao Siyan’s extremely cold eyes, his heart ached badly. He begged, “Siyan, don’t leave me, okay? I was wrong, I admit it!”
Zhao Siyan took a deep breath, and said with complicated eyes, “As long as you agree to divorce, I will ask my father to find a lawyer for you to get you out.”
Min Hongyang shook his head and looked at Zhao Siyan in disbelief, “You really want a divorce that badly? Are you threatening me with this?”
Zhao Siyan said coldly, “If you don’t agree, then stay inside!”
“I’ll sign!” Min Hongyang gritted his teeth, “I agree to a divorce, but I won’t let you leave me like this.”
Zhao Siyan coldly watched Min Hongyang sign the paper and suddenly sneered, “Then you should plead guilty and be punished. You are not my husband, why should I ask my father to save you?”
Min Hongyang was stunned, “You lied to me? Siyan, you have learned to lie, you lied to me!”
“You have lied to me so many times, why can’t I lie to you once?” Zhao Siyan took the divorce agreement, turned around, and left coldly, not even wanting to look at him again.
“Siyan, don’t go!” Min Hongyang finally realizes that he has really fallen in love. He really liked Zhao Siyan, a simple and kind girl who only had eyes for him. He chased after her in panic but was stopped by the police. He shouted desperately, “Siyan! I didn’t lie when I said I love you!”
Zhao Siyan didn’t even turn her head, “Even ghosts won’t believe that!”
Min Hongyang collapsed and knelt on the ground. His heart was in pain as if it was stabbed by a cold and sharp blade. He shouted in despair, “Siyan, I’m sorry! Please believe me! Please believe me for the last time, okay?”
Hearing this, Zhao Siyan stopped and finally turned around, “Shouldn’t the one you apologize the most to is Min Tao, who was killed by you? She sacrificed her whole living years for you and even her life! Min Hongyang! You make me sick!”
The small bottle in her pocket exuded a cool breeze, which eased Zhao Siyan’s agitated emotion. Zhao Siyan clenched the bottle in her pocket and said slowly, “I know, it’s not worth getting angry at such a scumbag. Let’s go and never see him again.”
Min Hongyang was completely in despair. The job he had worked so hard to get was gone now. His wife was no longer as innocent as before and left him in despair. Now, he was a prisoner that no one wanted! A prisoner waiting for the judgment of the law! He just wanted to make a name for himself and live a good life. Was he wrong?
The case has been settled. Min Tao once again returned to Gu Ye, but this time, she had someone to accompany her, Zhao Siyan.
Gu Ye looked at the 2 poor girls and encouraged them, “You still have your own life. After you get over your heartbreak, plan it well. Min Tao, what wishes do you have left to fulfill?”
Min Tao said calmly, “I want to go back to my hometown to see my parents. There is nothing else.”
“Okay, I’ll take you there.”
“Master Gu, I’ll go.” Zhao Siyan took the initiative to speak, “I’ll take her back, and we’ll handle the rest ourselves.”
“Okay.” Gu Ye smiled, “This talisman can protect Min Tao’s soul, you take it.”
“Thank you, Master Gu.” Zhao Siyan quickly took out some money but Gu Ye stopped her with a smile, “No, you guys can leave now. Tomorrow is a good day, the wind and the sun are nice, suitable for going out.”
After sending Min Tao and Zhao Siyan away, Gu Ye sighed. A scumbag ruined the life of 2 good girls.
…
“So, you are not reliable at all.” Gu Ye grabbed a handful of melon seeds offered in front of the statue of the King of Hell, and said with disdain while eating, “Didn’t I tell you to watch this world carefully and take away all the bastards? You are negligent and slack, and the offerings are wasted on you.”
At the side, Sister Hong Dou stamped her feet anxiously. She pushed Gu Ye out of the study, added another plate of tribute fruit, and swiftly lighted 3 incense sticks, worrying about what Gu Ye said.
Gu Ye was still yapping at the door, “Sister, save your worry. It’s better to give an offering to me than to him.”
Hong Dou was so angry that she locked Gu Ye outside the door and bowed to the statue of the King of Hell again and again, fearing that the King of Hell would get angry and take his (GY) life away.
…
After handing over Min Hongyang and all the evidence to another department, Mu Jingfei came to Gu Ye on a motorcycle again, “Come on, let’s eat a big plate of chicken together with sister!”
Gu Ye really admired this clear-sighted and righteous young lady and happily followed her. They found an ordinary restaurant near the community and ordered a few home-cooked dishes. With a big plate of fried chicken, and 2 fried noodles, the 2 of them had a simple lunch.
Speaking of this case, Mu Jingfei was still a little angry but she had seen a lot of scum in her line of work so she just sighed, “In the end, he didn’t say sorry to Min Tao, what a beast!”
Gu Ye smiled and said, “Min Tao may not need his apology, it’s so disgusting.”
“That’s right. If it were me, I wouldn’t accept the apology either. It would be better to shoot him (with her gun). It’s just that I felt pitiful for Min Tao’s parents. Min Hongyang has been pretending to be Min Tao to send messages to the 2 old people. In the end, they have been told that their daughter had died a long time ago.”
After dinner, Gu Ye returned home and was about to take a nap when a rumor spread on the Internet: [Gu Family’s third son has a new relationship! This time it’s not with Husband Yu Ze, but a super beautiful lady!]
The photo was also taken in a very tricky angle, showing the side faces of the 2 people. Gu Ye’s photos were taken more so it was clearer. Gu Ye’s number of fans is now no less than that of a popular star. When this rumor spread, netizens started to make a fuss: [Is it true or not?]
[Who is that woman? Is she rich as Yu Ze?]
[WTF, the couple I was supporting broke up?]
[Isn’t the third young master is too down-to-earth? Inviting the young lady to dinner but only eating home-cooked food?]
[It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, Gu Ye and Husband Yu Ze broke up! The bachelor is single again!]
[WTF, there’s a gossip post that revealed who this girl is. She’s not his senior at university, nor a celebrity, but a public servant!]
[Public servants also like rich second-generations?]
…
Nowadays when there is a problem related to Gu Ye on the Internet, the people in the water army chat group will report it to Gu Ye.
After Gu Ye read it, he went online with a cold expression. He reposted the news and started scolding:
[Ordinary friends having a meal together can be considered as they are together? I ate instant noodles at night mean my father went bankrupt?
If I said that the one who made up rumors to attract traffic is not human, then are you a friggin ghost? If I said that the person who exposed my friend’s identity is a bastard, then are you going to be dragged out and stewed (public scolding)?
Making up stories for no reason, have you too much free time in your hand? You are asking for me, your Father, to scold you!]
Fans: [… I’ll have a soda to calm down!]
[I’ll eat some snow to calm down!]
[I’ll eat some ice to calm down!]
[Master Gu is so tough! I couldn’t catch my breath and almost knelt down and called him Father!]
[So it was just a gossip. I knew it. You’re only a freshman. Don’t fall in love so early!]
[That one who exposes someone’s identity is too much! You deserve to be scolded!]
[Delete the post if you only wanted to spread rumors! You idiot! What nonsense are you writing!]
[Gossip editors should be more careful. Why do you want to take advantage of Gu Ye’s popularity to leech traffic? Isn’t this asking for scolding?]
[Yes, Gu Ye’s popularity cannot be taken advantage of. Gossip editors should leave! Can’t you see that Gu Ye has 3 words written on his forehead: 惹不起! (Can’t be offended)]
…
Gu Ye called Mu Jingfei, “Sister Mu, I’m sorry to cause you trouble.”
Mu Jingfei was busy investigating a case and was confused by Gu Ye’s apology, “What?”
Gu Ye chuckled, “It’s okay, you go ahead and do your work. You can always find me if you need anything.”
“Okay, I’ll get back to my case then!”
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ye received a message from Yu Ze: [I heard that I was cheated on.]
