Chapter 1385: Chapter 1404: Something Happened

"You better hurry!" Nan Fei urged, "Don’t be late."

"So, should I go now?" Fu Xinwu actually wanted to ask if she wasn’t going because of Jiang Yang, but she knew better than anyone how much Nan Fei cared for Jiang Yang, so she found it impossible to voice such a question.

In the end, Fu Xinwu didn’t insist. Since the car that came to pick her up had already arrived, she could only leave by herself first.

Not long after she left, Ning Di arrived.

"Is something wrong?"

"What’s the matter?" Nan Fei now dreaded hearing that something was wrong, "Who is in trouble?"

"Last night, Jiang Meili and her husband were killed at home, and it was a gruesome death," said Ning Di with a grave expression, obviously displeased with this sudden turn of events.

He had been eager to take action, yet someone else beat him to it, a scenario they hadn’t encountered in a very long time. If the master were to find out, he would surely think it disgraceful and give Ning Di a severe scolding when he returned.

Having heard this, Nan Fei’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and after tightly pressing her lips together for a while, she finally said, "So it is. I knew it. There’s no way she would turn back, she wouldn’t."

At the police station, she had noticed something off about Zhuanzhuan’s demeanor. She truly did not understand how Zhuanzhuan could deceive her in two lifetimes. But once she saw through Zhuanzhuan’s true nature, she would never allow herself to be deceived again.

Yesterday’s confession at the police station was half-true, the other half merely to mislead people.

"You mean Jiang Zhuanzhuan is behind it all? So her surrender and cooperation were all fake?"

"There must be someone helping her, they must have planned it before she was taken into the police station. She might be facing many years in prison, she definitely wouldn’t let Jiang Meili and Wang Dali off," Nan Fei felt waves of chills, torn internally.

She too was seeking revenge against Jiang Meili and Wang Dali, no matter for whom, such deep hatred could not be left unavenged without shame. She wouldn’t be weak and incapable like her father, vulnerable to being bullied.

But there are many ways to seek vengeance; it’s not necessary to stain one’s hands with blood, walking down a path of no return. Once one crosses the legal and moral line, are they still human? Without the constraints of reason and conscience, to act wholly on one’s desires is truly terrifying.

If before Nan Fei would feel guilty and uneasy about her ruthless decision, now she had truly let go of any last remnant of sentimentality.

The sisterly bond she had with Zhuanzhuan was thoroughly and utterly severed.

With furrowed brows and evident concern, Ning Di said, "Without evidence, we can’t convict her." In fact, as someone accustomed to carrying out missions and battling crime, he knew all too well the various dirty tricks at play.

The tactics used by Jiang Zhuanzhuan were common, even with the knowledge that she was the mastermind, it was impossible to do anything to her without evidence and a claim by the killer pointing to Jiang Zhuanzhuan as the orchestrator.

But now, according to the information he had, Jiang Zhuanzhuan seems to be involved with Leng Peixi. He could guess who the executor was even with his eyes closed; there’s no way Feng Sha would confess and implicate her.

"Why convict her?" Nan Fei countered before continuing on her own, "This might just be retribution. If she has the capability to avenge herself, then we shouldn’t interfere."

As for Zhuanzhuan, Nan Fei was utterly disillusioned; since she was willing to serve time, she should just stay in prison honestly. Moreover, she didn’t even know if she would live to see Zhuanzhuan released from prison!
