Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: The Little Schemes in One’s Heart

And after years of beatings, there came a day when Madam Chen took advantage of Old Master Chen’s drunkenness and stabbed him to death with a knife.

Afterward, even more bizarre was the fact that when Madam Chen was locked up in the county jail, Old Master Chen’s body was found without a single wound.

Of course, if such a thing were to happen in this imaginary task, it wouldn’t be strange at all, considering the existence of the Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, and Ling Clan—what couldn’t possibly happen?

But because of this, Grand Old Master Chen had no choice but to bail Madam Chen out.

To put it nicely, Madam Chen was bailed out by the Chen Family, but to put it bluntly, there was nothing to bail out since Madam Chen couldn’t have been kept in the county jail anyway, could she?

The Chen Family was only afraid that Madam Chen would seek revenge on them after her release, so they deliberately made such a move so that she had no cause to complain.

After that, there was the constant opposition from Grand Old Madam Chen and Old Madam against Madam Chen, trying to have her killed, pushing her to the point that, despite her fear, she went to Wuzhu Forest to seek their help in redressing her grievance.

"Rest for a bit; there won’t be a stir so soon,"

Sui Zimo lay on the soft ground and said to the little girl who kept tossing and turning in bed.

"I can’t sleep."

Lin Caisang said.

She felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart—what was going on?

Even though she knew this place was just a fabrication of the Jinzhu space, Madam Chen had still been beaten to a pulp, and it made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Yet, thinking about the events that were about to unfold this night, she found herself mysteriously devoid of any drowsiness.

"Can’t sleep? Heh."

In the darkness, Zimo chuckled softly, his laughter filled with indulgence.

"Then get up; let’s go out and have a look,"

he said, sitting up and speaking to her.

"Is... is that okay?"

Lin Caisang also sat up from the bed and asked.

But only she knew that upon hearing Zimo’s words, she wished she could sprout wings and fly out to see if anything had happened to the Chen Family.

"Nothing’s wrong with it, put on your clothes and let’s go,"

Zimo well knew that little scheme in her heart. He stood up straight and came to the edge of the bed.

"Maybe, something is happening right now."

"Really?"

Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang, no longer concerned with maintaining decorum, quickly threw off the covers and put on her clothes, ready to get out of bed.

"We must hurry to see; we can’t afford to get entangled in a new case before Old Master Chen’s affair is even resolved—that would be too costly for both of us."

Hearing her words, Zimo just smiled faintly.

Waiting for her to get dressed, the two didn’t take the door but slipped out the back window without anyone noticing.

...

In another courtyard, the Grand Old Madam Chen slept in a daze.

Although she felt danger loomed that night, she was reassured, having arranged many people to watch over everything, so she did not take Mo Tong seriously.

However, she had forgotten that Mo Tong might not be acting alone but could have an ’accomplice.’

’Creak,’ a sound came.

The tightly shut door was pushed open, and the bolt on it, as if made of decorative tofu, broke into two at the slightest touch from outside.

A woman in white with her long hair disheveled walked in slowly, almost like a corpse slithering into the room.
