Chapter 1269: Ask Song Yan for help
He Zexi trembled, his bladder seemed to have lost control as he stared at the thing that was standing in front of him. Ye Xiyuan no longer resembled her beautiful self, instead, she looked terrifying, especially with her eyes that looked empty and dark like an abyss.
"L...let me go, please...please...please don't kill me," He Zexi pleaded with the thing in front of him. He was scared out of his wits as regret clawed at his stomach, if he had known that this would happen then he would have never come to this house.
Stupid! He was such a fool to trust this woman if he hadn't then he would not be in this situation.
"If I let you go then how will I become the wise woman that Brother Zexi liked so much," Ye Xiyuan remarked with a slight titter. She tilted her head and reached her hand out before clasping hold of He Zexi's head. Her sharp nails dug into his head as blood dripped from five spots on his head. "You are so smart, Brother Zexi," Ye Xiyuan licked her lips with a greedy expression. "Surely your brain will taste even better than the one I just ate. Hehehehehehe..." At the dead of the night, another mournful scream rang inside the manor but no one heard it as it was buried in the silence very soon.
The next morning, Song Yan woke up with an aching back because of all the work she did in the space created by Ni Ah. She could feel the heat in the room as she looked outside, slowly the sky that used to stay dark around five was getting brightened and summer seemed to have arrived.
Song Yan wiped the sweat off her face and pushed Fu Yu Sheng away, "Stop cuddling. Can't you feel the heat?"
"Just turn the air conditioner on," Fu Yu Sheng remarked causing Song Yan to roll her eyes as she slapped his hand that was hugging her waist and then pulled away from him.
She ignored the whine of her husband before heading to the bathing room where she took a quick bath and headed down the living hall where Madam Gu had already prepared breakfast for her and her husband.
Song Yan casually turned on the TV, as she took a bite of her toast. After watching a few ads, she saw all sorts of reports one of them was relaying information on the sudden discovery of a human corpse that was found at the outskirts.
If it was just a report of a human corpse being found Song Yan would have not paid attention to it, as the capital was a place where crime took place almost every day but this time around there was something special about the corpse that was found --
It had no brain inside its skull.
This news caused quite a stir in the capital.
Expectedly everyone got scared after the news broke out, and there was a sudden rush in the purchase of self-defence types of equipment. While everyone tried to make sure that they returned home before the sky darkened.
Not only were the children asked to return home as soon as the sun started to set but even the adults were asked to come back home as soon as possible.
As for the case, it fell on the head of Wu Jin who had just been promoted to the capital chain of the police department. As he was the only chief who was promoted to such a high position at such a young age, it went without saying that many people wanted to make things difficult for him.
The Wu family who moved to the capital after Wu Jin's promotion were shocked after finding out the situation. Even though they were not a part of the police department politics, they knew that someone wanted to kick Wu Jin out of the position that he had earned through sheer willpower and hard work.
"What are you going to now?" Wu Qinfan questioned his brother who sat on the couch with his hands clutching his hair.
"I have no idea," When Wu Jin found out that he was being given such a high position he was quite happy. He thought that all the sufferings that he had gone through had finally bore him the fruit that he wanted but now that this matter was handed to him to solve, Wu Jin knew that this was not a sweet fruit but a bitter one.
"There is no need to think too much," Wu Qinfan patted his brother on the shoulder. He then said to him, "I am working hard at the moment, even if you are demoted our family wouldn't have to suffer much. As long as I can secure this deal with the Feng family, everything will be fine."
Wu Jin nodded. He was indeed a bit relaxed over the fact that his family wouldn't have to return to the S city after moving to the capital with such fanfare but still, he felt that it was too much of a loss for him to position that he earned through his own hard work.
"Madam Song," Wu Lixin's wife Second Madam Wu suddenly spoke up causing the three brothers to turn around and look at her. Second Madam Wu blushed slightly and then said, "I meant to say why not ask Madam Song for help? I heard from Madam Lin, that her sister-in- law and second brother-in-law had moved to the capital to secure the grounds for the Fu family."
"Maybe she will be able to help you?"
Though the suggestion was indeed amazing, Wu Jin shook his head as he said, "Our family had caused a lot of trouble Madam Song already, not to mention the disrespect she suffered at the hands of mother and..." he glanced at his brother who coughed as he looked away.
"I don't think that she would be willing to help us."
Wu Jin also knew that Song Yan was in the capital but he was not as thick-skinned to rush ahead and ask her for help. Even though he and Fu Yu Sheng were good friends, the things that happened in the past couldn't just be ignored.
"Ah Jin, I know that you are feeling a bit hesitant but I think sister-in-law's suggestion is good," Wu Qinfan said to his brother, in fact, he too did not want to find Song Yan but something about this case made him feel weird. Not only were the bones squeaky clean with not even an ounce of flesh left on them, but what was more the skull was cracked and everything inside of it was taken out.
The Department of Investigation did not even find any traces of the brain that had been scooped out of the skull. No matter how he looked at it, the case wasn't only terrifying it was simply inhuman!
Wu Jin also felt that there was something fishy about the case, if this was simply a human organ trafficking case then he was certain that the criminal would have left some traces behind or even taken the organs that were inside the body.
But those things were thrown out like trash, just this very thing was alone to tell him that this case was more complicated than just a human trafficking one.
"I think you should meet Madam Song," Wu Lixin said from the side while cradling his son in his arms. He did not know much about Song Yan but the fact alone that she blessed him and his wife, was enough to prove that the woman was not a simple celestial master. His second son had the same number of moles as his son who was killed by Wu Genji, that ruthless sister
of his.
Even the birthmark that was at the back of his first son was the same!
Song Yan had told him that if he and his wife tried then they would be able to see a miracle very soon and Wu Lixin was sure that his second son was the miracle she was talking about!
Wu Jin wanted to refuse but Wu Qinfan said to him, "If you keep hesitating then the criminal will escape from your grasp. If that happens then more and more people will suffer do you want that to happen?"
With these words, Wu Qinfan silenced Wu Jin's refusal because what he said indeed made sense. If he let this matter fester then his demotion was the smallest loss that would occur, the most ominous thing that might happen would be the loss of life!
