Chapter 145: Chapter 142 The Purpose of Scheming Against Tan Qiuling

The next day, Tan Qiuling found out where the deceased had been buried.

Qin Zhao accompanied her to the cemetery in the outskirts of the city.

The deceased was named Anton Rui, a businessman in his sixties who died from a severe illness.

During his lifetime, Anton Rui’s companies did business with the Ling Family, which is why Tan Qiuling’s husband had taken her to the funeral.

The day after attending the funeral, Tan Qiuling started showing symptoms of pregnancy.

At first, she was happy, but didn’t tell her husband, planning to visit the hospital for a check-up before sharing the news. However, she unexpectedly encountered Qin Zhao.

She wasn’t pregnant at all but instead a victim of someone’s scheme, her life hanging by a thread!

The two arrived at Anton Rui’s grave, where Qin Zhao affixed a prepared talisman to the back of his headstone.

Then, she cast a spell on Tan Qiuling.

"Anton Rui, if you don’t show yourself, don’t blame me for scattering your soul to the winds!"

A cold, scolding voice rang out, and the dark energy inside Tan Qiuling’s stomach felt the threat and started to run rampant, attempting to harm Tan Qiuling and completely take over her body.

But Qin Zhao had suppressed his burial site, so no matter how much he tried to haunt, he couldn’t inflict any substantive damage on Tan Qiuling, forcing him to fly out from her body.

Once the black energy emerged, it tried to escape into the distance.

Qin Zhao, using her Spiritual Power, wove a net and captured him on the ground.

Within the pale aqua-colored transparent net, a miniature soul of Anton Rui gradually materialized from the black energy.

He pleaded with Qin Zhao repeatedly, "Master, please spare me! I won’t dare to harm anyone again! I simply couldn’t accept dying like this, so I let myself be used by others!"

"Used by others? Who used you?"

"It was Shi Yu Jun! When I was about to die, she brought a Taoist to see me, claiming that they could resurrect me after death!

I was only in my sixties, worked my way up from nothing, and expanded the company. I haven’t even had a chance to enjoy my life. I really didn’t want to die, so I gave her a lot of money to help me.

But I had no idea that, after my death, she would use this method to bring me back! Master, I truly didn’t know! You have to find Shi Yu Jun."

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but sneer coldly, "You didn’t know? Shi Yu Jun placed a soul-nourishing charm on Tan Qiuling. If you hadn’t entered her body yourself, how could your soul have been nourished?!

Stop trying to deceive me with your fancy talk!"

Anton Rui was a businessman in life, naturally cunning.

His words were indeed an attempt to shirk responsibility.

Anton Rui wanted to be resurrected, which is why he agreed to Shi Yu Jun’s method.

He had also given them a hefty sum of money, clearly making the conscious choice to enter Tan Qiuling’s body.

Inside the transparent net, suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down.

"Ah!"

Anton Rui’s soul screamed, its existence growing much fainter.

When Qin Zhao’s eyes turned back onto him, he instantly shrank into a ball, not daring to talk recklessly.

"We will find Shi Yu Jun."

Qin Zhao collected his soul, it still being of some use.

At that moment, Tan Qiuling suddenly said to her, "I know what the relationship between Shi Yu Jun and my husband is now. Shi Yu Jun is a mistress kept by my husband; they’ve been together for a long time."

Tan Qiuling smiled bitterly.

She did not expect Shi Yu Jun to have a family and still be entangled with her husband.

Originally, she wanted to hire a private investigator but was able to take the chance to secretly check her husband’s phone at home yesterday. That’s when Tan Qiuling saw their messages.

"Not only that, the child in Shi Yu Jun’s belly is probably my husband’s.

She’s been preparing to divorce her husband recently and is most likely planning to kill me to take my place.

My husband and I had been married for many years without any children, and he was somewhat dissatisfied with me.

"Now that Shi Yu Jun is carrying his child, she will naturally benefit from being the mother of his child."

Tan Qiuling’s expression grew even more bitter.

Qin Zhao comforted her, "I saw Shi Yu Jun yesterday, and I could tell she isn’t pregnant.

Her facial features indicate that she doesn’t have the fate of having children in the near future."

"What?!"

Tan Qiuling looked at Qin Zhao in shock.

"So she’s faking a pregnancy to deceive people?"

"If she can do something like that to harm you, faking a pregnancy for a marriage is also possible. What’s your plan now? After I take care of Shi Yu Jun for you, do you still want to continue with your husband?"

Tan Qiuling didn’t speak for a long time, lost in thought.

Even if she dealt with Shi Yu Jun, would there be a second or third one after her?

She had already dealt with many young girls who were involved with her husband, and she was tired of it.

"Actually, if you divorce your husband and can get a decent share of the property, your life could be quite comfortable afterward. You could completely find someone who is wholeheartedly devoted to you."

Tan Qiuling thought about it and felt that Qin Zhao had a point.

"Since Shi Yu Jun is so keen on ascending, perhaps I should expose this matter first, then propose a divorce. In that case, since my husband would be the one at fault, I should be able to get quite a bit of the property.

He’s so eager to have children, he’ll probably let me go easily. Once I successfully divorce, then we’ll deal with Shi Yu Jun and tell my husband about her fake pregnancy, letting him have a taste of disappointment!"

As she spoke, Tan Qiuling became a bit excited.

She also said to Qin Zhao, "You help me get my revenge properly, and I can pay you more!"

"Alright, I can work with you."

Qin Zhao hadn’t let Anton Rui’s soul scatter yet, because if she did, the Taoist next to Shi Yu Jun might notice something unusual and could discover Tan Qiuling’s plan.

She kept Anton Rui’s soul first and sealed it within the talisman.

The two left the cemetery, and Tan Qiuling went to prepare for the divorce.

Rushing back home from the suburbs, she arrived at dusk.

In the past, Chu Yan would have already been home cooking by this hour.

But this time, Qin Zhao didn’t see him inside when she entered the house.

His shoes were not on the rack above the entrance of Mystical Sect, indicating he hadn’t come home yet.

Qin Zhao sat on the sofa for a while, then received a message from Chu Yan.

He said he was busy today and told her to eat dinner by herself.

Accustomed to the dinners he prepared, she felt a bit uncomfortable now.

Qin Zhao ordered some takeout and ate casually.

On Chu Yan’s end, after work, he went to meet Qi Ling.

This was a very secluded villa area in Imperial City, with few buying houses here due to the poor surrounding environment, and at night, there were few villas with lights on.

In the dark basement of the villa, Qi Ling gave Chu Yan a bag of white crystalline substance.

"Producing this kind of thing is easy for you, right?"

Chu Yan just glanced at it and knew it was the stuff he had framed Mu Xuan with.

A newly-developed, highly popular, and profitable drug.

Chu Yan’s eyebrows twitched, "I thought you called me here for something else, I’m not planning to do this."

"I’ve mentioned it to you before, and you didn’t refuse me then."

"But I didn’t agree either, and now I can tell you clearly, I won’t do it."
