Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 709: Deeply Rooted Feelings (154)
"So you’re saying that Rong Xiuxiu would only face some punishment in the end?" Gu Lili said through clenched teeth. "Why is that?!"
"Simply because she is the Demon King’s daughter. If you had the power to defeat the Demon King, you could kill Rong Xiuxiu in front of him and at most the Heavenly King would punish you, but not take your life. How could the Demon King harm you then? The same logic applies."
Gu Lili took a deep breath, forced down the anger in her heart, and then stood up. "I’m going to switch back to my own body."
As soon as she switched back, Long Yubei entered the room.
"Did you get a confession?"
"Su Changzhi captured a video of her making a call on the balcony last night. Once she saw the video, she couldn’t deny it! She asked who filmed it and, since I was in Youyou Valley at the time, I honestly told her it was Chang Zhi. Even if she knew, she couldn’t do anything about Chang Zhi. Your identity wasn’t exposed, at least."
Long Yubei placed Xin Zheng’s body in the coffin, and Gu Lili took a large bedsheet from the closet to cover the coffin.
"What do you plan to do now?"
"Do you know... how much I wanted to scatter her soul just now?" Long Yubei’s eyes reddened, "But I can’t, because Tian Jiao isn’t a daughter of the Netherworld King. She’s just a human. My father would certainly not declare war on the Demon World for her sake."
"I understand, Chang Zhi told me," she took the interrogation video from his hands.
From the video, Gu Lili could see the whole incident unfold.
To get revenge on Long Yubei, Rong Xiuxiu decided to target Long Tianjiao.
She wanted to do it one by one and targeted Long Tianjiao first simply because the opportunity presented itself.
Upon learning that Long Tianjiao was going abroad, Rong Xiuxiu immediately thought of an airplane.
Thus, she possessed the pilot during the flight, causing the plane to crash.
Rong Xiuxiu didn’t even count the number of souls and scattered them all in one go.
The pilot was innocent.
Yet he ended up with the name of an atrocious criminal.
Because there was a recording of the pilot’s final phone call.
To clear the pilot’s name would require proof of the existence of a third realm in this world.
That is something impossible to achieve.
One unanimous rule followed by all realms is to keep the existence of other realms hidden from the entire Human World. Whoever dares to break this rule will face a concerted assault from the others.
That’s how the game is played.
Now, Gu Lili could only imagine what the scene would look like for the pilot’s family.
After Long Yubei left, she changed her clothes and drove to the pilot’s house.
She brought gifts.
Her arrival was a complete surprise to the family. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Since everyone else cursed and spat on them, who would care about their feelings?
Seeing the pilot’s wife with eyes red and swollen from crying, Gu Lili stepped forward and gave her a hug, "My condolences."
"Miss Gu, my husband is not that kind of person, he loves us so much, he would never do such a thing."
How much Gu Lili wanted to tell her the truth.
But she couldn’t.
Gu Lili helped her, who was close to fainting, to sit down. "I’m here because I know your entire family is troubled because of your husband’s incident. Though my friend and my child’s aunt perished on that plane, I know it has nothing to do with the family members of the pilots."
The woman stared at her in a daze, "You... you’re the only one who’s said that."
"You and your child have a long journey ahead. He’s still young, and if he continues to live here, his future is over. I can help you change your names, get new identification, and set up a new home for you. Would you want that?"
