Chapter 72: Chapter 72
Lu Cheng continued, "Recently, my Beast Husband suddenly wanted to divorce me. Under pressure, I found out he had offended someone named Croft!"
"Croft committed crimes but used his power to casually find a scapegoat. My Beast Husband didn’t want to give up and is desperately searching for new evidence! So Croft threatened him again!"
"My Beast Husband didn’t want to implicate me and decided to divorce me!"
"But who would have thought, Croft is already targeting me, isn’t he?"
The four beastmen gritted their teeth, their expressions changing repeatedly.
"Not speaking?" Lu Cheng snatched the gun from her Beast Husband and loaded it directly.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll shoot you one by one, dead or alive!"
"I am an SS-class Purification Master. If you dare attack me, even if I shoot you dead, at most I’d lose everything I have now!"
"Wife, if anyone should do it, it should be me!" Shang Yuan blocked Lu Cheng.
"No need! I’ll do it!" Lu Cheng refused to let go.
She knew the streaming system had been tampered with and was currently experiencing a ’bug,’ so it was still live streaming.
If she took action, she’d merely face punishment.
But if her Beast Husband did it, his punishment would certainly be heavier than hers.
Lu Cheng pointed the gun at the head of the beastman who spoke first.
"You better think carefully about what to say," Lu Cheng’s eyes were icy cold, "If you confess, you’ll likely just be sent back to prison."
"But if you say nothing, I’ll take your life right now!"
Lu Cheng stared into the fearful eyes of the beastman, "I’ll only count to three..."
The beastman watched Lu Cheng’s fingers gradually tightening on the trigger, a bead of sweat the size of a bean appearing on his forehead!
"One... two... three..."
Just as Lu Cheng was about to pull the trigger, the beastman couldn’t hold on any longer.
"I’ll speak! I’ll speak!"
Lu Cheng put down the gun, holding her slightly trembling hands behind her back.
"I truly thought such a beautiful female was ruthless and cold-blooded. If I hadn’t seen her hands trembling behind her back, I would have believed it!"
"So, is it true that someone intentionally employed prisoners confined in the deep sea? I can’t imagine how powerful one must be to dare break the law so openly!"
"Otherwise, how dare they attempt to kill an SS-class Purification Master?"
The other side didn’t even bother to hide his identity, arrogantly intending to kill Lu Cheng and her people, thinking he had his own ways to cover it up.
"He had people release us and instructed us to come over and pretend to rob you..."
"He wanted us to capture you, and in front of you..." The beastman glanced at Lu Cheng, "Right in front of you, kill your family’s little one, and then... in front of your Beast Husband, do something to you..."
What followed went unsaid, but Lu Cheng knew!
Her eyes turned scarlet as she fired a shot directly at the ceiling!
Ever since having that nightmare, the scenario in her dreams has become increasingly hazy.
Presumably, after a few days, she might not even remember the nightmare, just some impressions...
The beastman shuddered, carefully glanced at Lu Cheng.
"Continue!" Lu Cheng’s eyes were moist.
The beastman swallowed, his voice trembling, "In the end, he instructed us to burn this place to the ground, claiming Croft had ways to cover it up!"
"He also said that if we did this job well, he’d send us somewhere no one could find or control us!"
The beastman hurriedly waved his hands, "He said if we didn’t do it, he’d just execute us on the spot! We were forced into this! If there’s a grievance, seek the true perpetrator! Go after him!"
"Mr. Galen sent us to prison, and we’ve been repentant ever since!"
The other beastmen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"We’ve confessed! Don’t kill us!"
They looked at Lu Cheng and her Beast Husband, as if they wanted to tear them to shreds, not as if they planned to release them.
With only Lu Cheng and her people here, if she killed them and got rid of the evidence, their deaths wouldn’t even have a burial site!
"We can testify! Please, don’t kill us!"
At that moment, the sound of a police car arrived!
The four beastmen who had broken into the villa suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling an urge to cry!
Thank goodness, the police have arrived! They’ve been saved!
As hardened criminals, this was their first time ever eagerly anticipating the sound of a police car!
If the police hadn’t arrived soon, they might really have died!
The four beastmen were taken away half-dead by the police, offering no resistance at all.
At this point, the glitch in the livestream was also suddenly fixed, closing the stream...
Lu Cheng’s tense nerves relaxed, her legs gave out as she fell into Shang Yuan’s embrace.
"We did it..." Lu Cheng’s words were choked, but also filled with the joy of surviving disaster. The most update n0vels are published on novel[f]ire.net
It’s hard to imagine if not for that strange dream, they might not have escaped this misfortune.
"Yes, Wife, it’s all over."
Lu Cheng wiped her tears, "I’ll go check upstairs first!"
She stood up, her legs a bit shaky, and climbed the stairs.
The door opened, revealing her two young sons, obliviously snoring away.
After all, they were still little, not yet two years old.
But Shang Yu, hiding in the corner of the bed, looked alert.
Lu Cheng’s heart softened, knowing Shang Yu had experienced many things and was sensitive to changes around him, instantly guessing something happened at home.
"Thank you for today..." Lu Cheng said to Song Chen.
She was a little intimidated by her cold-faced best friend’s Beast Husband.
"It’s nothing, I didn’t do much," Song Chen stood up, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back."
Song Chen glanced at the two soundly sleeping little leopards across from him, suddenly thinking of Yu Manman.
Could the little cub be sleeping soundly like them?
Thinking this, a slight smile appeared on Song Chen’s face.
"Alright! I’ll have Shang Yuan see you off," Lu Cheng was slightly shocked.
On his way back, Galen gazed at the now-closed livestream, his eyes bloodshot.
Had anything happened to his Wife, he’d go all out to kill Croft!
Galen took a deep breath; fortunately, his Wife was safe.
He looked down again at the things in his hands.
This time, he initially set out to find evidence, but thinking about his Wife’s dream, he hesitated a bit further.
As a result, he discovered the so-called evidence was merely a decoy!
However, this led him to new evidence.
This time, Croft wouldn’t get away...
Galen scrolled through the Light Brain’s holographic screen, seeing the trending topic online.
#Croft plots against SS-class Purification Master!#
With things blown out of proportion, he couldn’t believe there would still be people willing to protect Croft.
Galen’s eyes turned cold.
"Ding! You turned the tides, making Galen forgo his desperate, exchange-a-life-for-a-life vengeance, exposing the true villain to the public! Reward: Luck Value +100!"
